Hello house I have 2 questions.
1. I graduated oct 2018, completed NYSC sept 2019. Do I need to explain my study gap? Would it start counting from NYSC completion or Degree graduation.

2. After applying for visa application. Can one remove remove the POF from the account?
Has anyone done this before? What was the outcome.

Dear team

Thanks for all you do and responding to all questions.
I have two questions
1. I just submitted my application but yet to do biometrics. Please can I still upload documents as I missed about two documents (reference letter from previous employer to cover for gap, nysc certificate, birth certificate of my dependants and more chats) that I should’ve submitted. I did self service.
2. I got separated but not divorced yet, I have an unmarried partner who has twins for me and they are my dependants. I submitted 11 pics, immigration dna, bank transfers to her, email correspondence) will they be refused visa.
Note: I have travelled with my estranged wife to the uk in the past. I stated in my application that I am separated but under dependent I didn’t include her name only the unmarried partner with the twins.
Thank you

So for one with a study gap with proof of registered business, will there be any need to share extensive details with the ECO about the activities of the company? For example, sharing links to social media pages or channels where services (e-books & online classes) of the business can be purchased.

Any guidance or advice is welcome

tolats:
Thank you for your prompt response. The application has been submitted already and there’s no way the priority could be added, at least I’m not seeing it on the TLS portal again. That’s why we’ve decided to add it at the TLS centre. I may be wrong though. Will physical card be needed or just the card details to make the payment? A pound debit card is available but not physically. What do you advice?

Dear Partners

Will it be problematic if I keep sending monies into my account that I want to use the statements for POF?..

Because that's what I have been doing
But it's small sums of money

awesinic:
greetings everyone! @ Duchess

is it really required/compulsory for one to upload second school certificate (Waec/ Neco) among the documents to be uploaded during application?

there's an error on my waec result on date of birth, i had corrected it with affidavit long time back, just now again i discovered the Address on it them is different for what have been using now also for the application.

so i option not to upload it and however i need to check if it's really necessary or not.

your kind response!

Hello

@duchess and everyone

Please does MA need to submit updated SOA at the point of dependent application, even though dependent's POF was running when MA submitted their application?

missetuk:
Good day all,
My school requested for POF before issuing CAS,
I sent them a statement of account from the 21st of June to 20th of July.
CAS was issued in the 26th. My appointment is for biometrics is for the 2nd. Can I print a more recent statement or should I upload same thing that was sent to the school

Justpat:


Hello for your issue, you seem to have exhausted the allowed card transaction limit on your gtb card hence no other payment is going through successfully. You may need to use a different card to pay the remaining payment. There are usually monthly/quarterly/ annual limits on cards for web transactions. Cheers

Hello

Not needed

Just your company registration and tax documents

Hello My people

Please does TLSContact centre accept soft copies of supporting documents(e.g marriage pictures, WhatsApp chat history etc which are usually in soft copies) from applicants to help upload when one pays for assisted service?

Karishma:
Good morning guys,
I am new here so I have a couple of questions, please bear with me.

1. I am living in Nigeria, working after completing NYSC a few months ago, but I have applied for a 2 year masters in the UK for winter entry. My sponsor is my sister who is in the UK. How do we go about using her as my sponsor?

2. When showing proof of fund, considering my program is a 2 year program, am I to show the full 2 year fees as available at time of application, or is showing proof of fund for 1 year of the fees adequate?

3. Based on the current clime in terms of visa sponsorship, what is the duration of the postgraduate visa after completing masters? Is it still 2 years as before? Or has it been reduced to 6 months?

4. Anyone going for winter entry here? What’s the timeframe for schools to process applications please as it’s almost August and I applied two months ago but have not heard back from the schools.

Paparaxo:
1, Being your sister, and your sponsor, there’re limitations to what she can “officially do for you”. She can help with payments of tuition, accommodations and all. But sadly you can’t use her bank statements for visa purposes. She can however transfer the required sum in your account and then you use your bank statement.

2, You’ll only show tuition deposits and maintenance fees for 1yr.

3, Post study work visas still remains 2 years. That hasn’t changed.

4, You should know most schools are super busy at the moment as they’re giving priority to 2023 Sept applicants. But just keep applying, and to as many school as possible. The earlier the better.

Hello

Is it your account?

If you need to make financial transactions please do so


Cheers

Karishma:
Thanks for your reply, she did start transferring some of the funds to me earlier in the year to build my account, but stopped after the exchange rate started climbing rapidly. The amount she transferred to me has depreciated already so that was why we decided to leave the amount in her account in the UK.
What will you advise when it comes to time to apply for visa, should she still transfer it to me? And how do I then prove to the ECO that I got the funds cause I would then have to disclose that it’s from my sister? Is there a way of keeping the money so it remains at the pounds value?

gthots:
Thank you for your prompt response, I appreciate it.

Please when you say tax document is it for the company or the individual?

Also, the applicant started a Distance Learning MBA in 2021 and has written the last 4 papers in June 2023 but waiting for the final result. Can this be included to support the study gap? Kindly note that there is no official transcript just student copy results for the last 4 semesters.

The proposed course of study is MSc Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

It is my account

It's an account where I have been making periodic transfers into for years now

Hello everyone. Does anyone know how long it takes for University of Derby to issue CAS after submission of the form? You response is well anticipated.

Paparaxo:
Oh I would suggest you open a pound account with your bank since she’s in the UK. That way she can transfer the funds in pounds without worrying about exchange rate. Gives you more peace of mind too. The transfer can be made in one lump sum. However, when printing your bank statement, you start counting from the day after you received the lump sum(this prevents you from having to explain how you got the money). UKVI accepts bank statements in any currency. So long it’s in your name, parents or legal partner’s name.
