Hi Giselle237, I sent you a personal message please.

About this, is a court order needed in all dependent visa applications? In a situation where the other parent is dead, is death certificate sufficient enough? When you say court order, do you mean affidavit? And is the process lengthy in Lagos?


Thank you very much.

giselle237:
you need a court order stating you have SOLE responsibility/custodianship signed by a Judge to reapply for this child and not a cover letter.

Thank you so much

The school results is not for them to be assessing your grades but for them to know you are actually in school.
Letters alone can not substantiate this part.
You don’t have to add all the results but it would help to show you are CURRENTLY in school and progressing.
1. Add pictures of you in school, locate where the statues showing your school name is located and take pictures infront of them.
2. Add pictures of you with colleagues and classmates that are taken in school. Not only from this year but when you started
3. Are you a member of any leadership or student boards? Add those letters.
4. Have you been paying any levies or fees that has your name addressed to the school. For every different year. It doesn’t matter if it is 500 naira, add it as it is a tie to the school.
5. Matriculation pictures? Add them
6. Write a cover letter and one of your bullet points should be how you have progressed academically this far and it would be stupid of you to throw away say 3 or 4 years of study to come and live illegally in the UK.

If you have enough of the above then you can skip very few of your report sheets with bad grades. Pls also try to do better academically because I can see it is stressing you for others to see such results. This shows insight and possibilities of you to improve. Goodluck

it won’t be. Someone got denied for stating the same amount even though they were been fully sponsored. The rejection letter was posted on this thread a few weeks agao. If she is fully sponsored you should put £1 .

Good morning Giselle237 and all the wonderful people in this group. Please I have a pressing challenge. I am a 4th year student applying for visitors visa, fully funded by my sister. I have evidence of school registration (school admission letter, acceptance letter, school IDs, letter from HOD confirming my studentship).

The problem is my school results. My grades are poor and I have lots of awaiting result. And current GP is poor. I was wondering if I need to add my school result as evidence of studentship or is what I already have enough?
