I just saw and replied your mail.

You'd need to get parental consent or legal guardianship from the courts. You'd have to prove that you've been solely responsible for her and you may have to provide authorisation from the child's parent in order to go through with this.
What about her parents? This will largely determine what documents you need to present to get legal guardianship, custody or parental consent from the courts.
With any of the 3 documents and letters from her school/doctor stating the address that they have on file for the child (this has to tally with your residential address) and if possible, stating you as the parent on record for the child, you're good to go.

@mimilyrics

Please I need your help regarding how I can go about this.

My wife's half sister has been staying with me since JSS 2 now she is in SS 2 and presently 14 years of age. I am solely responsible for her and I intend to add her as a dependent. How do I go about this? What documents will I need to present?

No, it hasn't. If it will be stopped in future (very unlikely), the information will be on the UKVI and VAC websites.

Yes its closed until further notice.

If it is closed till futher notice I really wonder how the UKVI will handle the applications on tier 4 visa this period because the crowd will be missive.. I just hope getting back the visa won't take too long.. I also hope the interview questions won't be tough then. Too many thoughts on my mind.

I thought I saw that it has been suspended for now

Fingers crossed.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't see that update before my response, and that's why I directed the poster (incase I missed any update) to the official sites which will definitely have the info if it changes for future applications at any point.

Guru, I went for TB test today, I didnt get my result, the doctor said, there's something that is not clear in my scan. They asked me to come on Monday, Tuesday Nd Wednesday for further observations.
They said, my result would be like 8weeks before they can issue, that if am negative to TB.
What can I do please bcus my school resume Oct 05.
Should I kuku defer my admission till January to avoid lateness.

I want to go for TB test at Afriglobal. To confirm it myself.

Advice me please. How anyone experienced this before?

It's the normal process for unclear tests. You can't apply for your visa till it comes back clear (possibly in 8 weeks which will be in September) and with the anticipated high volume of visa applications, you might not get your visa within the normal timescales and this might affect your resumption except schools are allowed to extend their latest dates of arrival. If your result comes in the later part of the anticipated 8 weeks and your TB test is clear, you can still meet up with your school's resumption if priority process has been restored by then.
In my opinion, you might be safer deferring to the January intake to give you time to clear up your TB test results; this will also prevent a situation where you spend money on a Visa that you won't be able to use because it came in late. But leave deferring till it's sure(closer to your resumption) that you won't be able to meet up. Make sure you keep your school updated on this.

Ps: whether you confirm it elsewhere or not is inconsequential (and will only be for your own personal comfort) as you will only be able to use the IOM results for your visa application.

Relax,

After the test, the reading would be transferred to a specialist in the UK who will then revert your result to the centre that the X-ray was conducted.


When I went for mine , met 2 guys who’d already done theirs a week earlier and were asked to come for a second test.


They both got their certificates on the second attempt.


No need to waste money on afriglobal Tb test because it won’t be accepted by Ukvi.

Thank you for your response. I have responded to your email ma

Seen and responded to.
I deleted the update to the earlier comment because it's usually a difficult route to tow and is subject to the discretionary powers of the ECO and exceptional circumstances surrounding the application; it's better to get any of the legal documents.

Thank you. I really appreciate, but I've done the test at Afriglobal to sure of my status tho. They said, the result would be out tomorrow.
I will update you guys if my outcome.
I really wish to meet up with September class bcus, a lot has due for me to renew.

Oh okay. I hope it comes back negative and I also hope that your IOM test comes back clear in the shortest time possible so that you can meet up with your program resumption without worrying about time constraints or deferring. All the best!

UK: work rights for dependants of PSW postgrads
Posted on Jul 13, 2020 by The PIE News team
Posted in Government, News, under Europe.
Tagged with graduate route, PhD, Post-study work visa, PSW, UK.

Within its latest immigration update, the UK government has confirmed that the dependants of postgraduate Tier 4 international students who get a post-study work visa from 2021 will “have near full access to the UK labour market and can work at any skill level”.
The graduate route will be launched in summer 2021 to provide international students the opportunity to stay in the UK to work or look for work.


"We will also be removing the study time limit for students studying at a postgraduate level"
In a statement that provides further details on the government’s plans for a new UK points-based immigration system, the Home Office unveiled more details around the graduate route due to launch next year.
“In general dependants have near full access to the UK labour market and can work at any skill level”
“The graduate route will be launched in summer 2021 to provide international students the opportunity to stay in the UK to work or look for work after they graduate,” the statement explained.
“Undergraduate and master’s degree students will be able to stay for two years under the route, whilst PhD students will be able to stay for three years.”
It also explained that graduates “will be able to switch into other routes in line with the wider approach to switching when applying for leave inside the UK”, including the ability to switch into work routes if they are able to meet the requirements.
“The graduate route will also increase the attractiveness of the UK’s offer to international students, ensuring we remain internationally competitive and assist in our ambition to increase the number of international students in higher education as set out in the International Education Strategy,” the Home Office statement continued.
Regarding dependants, the Home Office statement explained that students will be able to bring dependants “if studying at postgraduate level for at least nine months at a Higher Education Provider with a track record of compliance, or if government-sponsored to study a course longer than six months”.
“Skilled workers and postgraduate students will continue to have the right to bring dependants,” it read, highlighting that a dependant’s application must be linked to that of the main applicant.
“In general dependants have near full access to the UK labour market and can work at any skill level.”
The statement also revealed that it will be extending the period of time in which a student can apply for permission to come to the UK before the start of their course, from three to six months.
“We will also be removing the study time limit for students studying at a postgraduate level, although students will still be expected to be progressing academically in their studies when making a further application in the UK,” it noted.

This is great news. So one can come into the UK 6 months before studies but it still all depends on schools issuing CAS six months before course resumption rather than 3 months

DonTwice:

I don't think so.. I feel it will be like applying for visit visa..you can get CAS early and apply for the visa but the earliest time you can arrive the UK will still be a month to the school start date.. I believe they are doing this because of the COVID crisis and the backlog on applications now... anyway that's my musing..let's wait and see how it rolls.. Besides, you know you can't work on a study visa whe nyour studies haven't commenced...that's a full denial on work permit visas waiting for you in the future..

I did like the one about removing restriction on years of study ...good timing to move to the UK..

pls gurus I need ur input.

my dependent is about going for tb test. her passport carries her pervious name.

my question is what name will be on her IOM certificate?

if its the name on the passport(name before marriage), won't this be rejected during visa application?

if its her name after marriage, will she be required to show any proof at iom why her current name is different from one on passport?

Guys, I thought that I read that there are plans to make the COVID period issued vignettes 90 days valid.

I can't remember where I saw it. Someone please clarify.

Cheers

Hello fellow, can I have your email so I can mail you.

SAMDEEA123:



The scholarship will be quoted on your CAS. Go ahead. You are in order

Yes, there was news about replacement vignettes (till end of 2020) now being valid for 90 days, I've seen nothing about fresh applications (except if I missed it) but fresh applicants whose vignettes expire "should" also be able to apply for a vignette with 90-days validity.
See link below;
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-advice-for-uk-visa-applicants-and-temporary-uk-residents#outside-uk
If the 90-day vignette is effected for vignettes issued for Post-Lockdown applications, it will only work if the school's latest date of arrival is changed to match this or if it hasn't elapsed by the time you need to be on campus for one-on-one classes. The poster stated that he has to be in school by the 1st week in October (that's probably his school's latest date of arrival) and depending on the outcome of his next TB test, he might not be able to apply for his visa till September. Given the high volume of applications, he might not be able to meet up with this date if his TB test issue isnt sorted till around September except the school's arrival dates are extended and/or the priority processing is restored.
Normally, if you have a valid Visa but your school's latest date of arrival has passed, you can't use the Visa to get into the UK (even if the delay was from UKVI) without a letter from your school confirming that you're still able to join the program. But these aren't normal times so temporary measures might be put in place to address the issues surrounding the latest dates of arrival if not yet done.

Does that mean one can keep moving from degree to degree( of course showing progression) until 10yrs for ILR is due?

Meaning 6yrs study cap has been removed?
