Hi Guys,
I spoke to a broker today,and told her about my status as a visa holder and gave her other details as requested. I told her I've got a deposit of 15k and looking for a mortgage of 300k which is 5%.

After everything she said I could get a mortgage value of 218k at 5.99% fixed for 5years.

My question is can I get rate lower than 5.99 % and higher mortgage value at the same 5% deposit?.

Hi Guys,
Please which insurance company is good for travel health insurance?.

Hi Guys,
I like to ask a question. My wife and i are almost 2years in the uk,we are planning on getting a mortgage by next year April, and we are hoping we would have saved £20k for deposit.
My question is at what point do I need to start speaking to mortgage broker?.

Hi Guys,
Please i need your help here.
I applied for my mother to visit the UK on a visiting visa, she is a trader and she makes about 100k as income every month.
I also deposited a sum of 5 million in her so as to cover for the expenses and i stated in my invitation letter that my wife and i will be responsible for her coming.
I submitted my employment letter and that of my wife, proof of address, BRP, birth certificate.
I submitted one month bank statement also.
Surprisely, i just got a refusal email now stating the following:
I have refused your application for a visit visa because I am not satisfied that you meet the
requirements of paragraph V4 of Appendix V: Immigration Rules for Visitors because:
• You have applied to visit the UK for 21 days for a family visit. In order to come to my
decision, I have considered all of the documents you have provided regarding your
circumstances.
• You state that you are self-employed with a yearly income of NGN 1,800,000
(£1,577). In of your application you have provided a copy of your personal
bank statement. I note that the credits and balances in your are not
consistent with your declared income. I am therefore not satisfied that your personal
and financial circumstances are as you have set out. This undermines the credibility
of your application to the extent that I am not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking
entry as a visitor or intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit.
• In assessing your entry clearance application, I have considered all of the documents
and information provided against the requirements of Appendix V, and have also
taken into the published Visit guidance. The guidance indicates a number of
factors which can help assess if an applicant is a genuine visitor, including but not
limited to the following:
• their financial circumstances as well as their family, social and economic background
• their personal and economic ties to their country of residence
• The concerns noted in the paragraphs above mean that I am not satisfied that you
have accurately declared your personal circumstances, which in turn means I am not
satisfied on the balance of probabilities that you are a genuine visitor. While I note
the information you have provided regarding the purpose of your visit and your
sponsors , I am not satisfied that these other factors outweigh the concerns
noted above. Therefore, I am not satisfied that you are genuinely seeking entry as a
visitor and that you will leave the UK at the end of your visit.
• Your application is therefore refused under paragraph V4.2 (a) and (c) of the
Immigration Rules
My question now what did i do wrong and how soon can i reapply for her.

I will encourage you to be patient. I was also in your shoes some weeks ago. It takes maximum of 8weeks for them to make decisions within UK. The fact that you said decision has been made on your wife's application means your own and that of your children will be out.

Yes, we applied to switch to a Tier 2 visa after the course completion date on my CAS. I ed my university visa advice office and was told my studentship has no connection with my spouse-dependent visa application and that the home office has already been informed that I have completed my program. I know someone with a similar issue; I believe it is a backlog issue. I want to wait until Friday; if nothing happens, I will my MP as someone suggested here.

Good morning guys,

Please I need your help,I ed the certificate of a training I did in my former company as study evidence on my visa application plus other employment documents just to show my study gap.
I want to know if it's okay to do that.

Yes, i bought 1zz.
No check engine on the dashboard, also there was no error code when checked with machine.

Dozieson:


You mean brain box? Hope it is 1zz you bought? Is there any check engine light on your dashboard? Snap and show us?

Not brain box, brain valve. No check engine on the dashboard.

Hi Guys,

I drive a toyota corolla 2004, i just changed my engine when the old engine was smoking. The old engine was working fine except for the smoke, after changing the engine, i discovered i couldn't go more than 60km/h and climbing hills becomes a problem.

I went back to the mechanic yesterday to complain, so he checked the car with his machine and there was no error code on the machine.

He invited a gear mechanic to check the car and the man tested the car by driving it.,he told us that the problem is the car brain valve and i will need to change it.

My fear now is that i don't want to spend another money on the brain valve and the problem still remains.

Please kindly advise if i can go ahead.

Hello Everyone,
For those who paid their deposit through FORMA, i want to know how long it took for CBN to validate your application before disbursement.

Yes, you can. I also got the response from the university rep in Nigeria.

SerendipityHere:
Anyone presently studying at the Univeristy of Northampton here?

Pls at what stage were you required to present your statement and also when were you asked to pay your tuition deposit?

Can I go ahead and pay the deposit without statement of ? The School is not saying anything about the statement. I was only asked to accept the offer, fill the guarantee and finance form and then make the payment of 5k deposit. Then the Offer letter states that I may be required to a credibility interview and that I should not pay the deposit until I have ed the interview. I didnt get any mail from the interview team. Could this be a general template of their offer letters? Is this applicable to everyone? should I still go ahead and pay the deposit?
I have emailed them yet no reponse. Should I just go ahead and make payment
Pls help!

Family of 4

Decision mail : November 12th (about 20 hours after sending paid mail)
Dispatched from TLS on Friday 12th (same day as decision mail)
We waited anxiously for DHL to deliver but they didn't because of weekend.
We got our visas yesterday evening finally.

It wasn't an easy wait o. If you have money, pls pay for priority because High BP is real o. We endured a lot during the 3 weeks wait.
This journey started early 2020 and I have been reading this thread everyday religiously.
I must thank everyone on this forum for all the helpful contributions. I gained a lot.
My advice is for everyone to try and read far and wide, use Google a lot and ukvi sit (gov.uk) has almost all the information you require as well as your school website and course page. Don't also shy away from asking when you hit a brick wall too.

You can do everything all by yourself and it is far better because you are sure of what you submitted.

Aston University January 2022

Another piece of advice: if you come across any information you feel might be relevant to you during the process of application, screenshot and keep it in your picture gallery. It is better that way because sometimes this information may be difficult to search for when you need them most.
Over this 2 years I have over a thousand screenshots from nairaland alone.

How can you renew your port when it has not expired?

Rollitout:


I have 10 months left on my port and my school informed me to renew it because it will expire path way to the program, I will advise you to get renewed.

Banks have different rates.

STENON:
Please How much is £ to naira using form A in Nigeria now ? Thanks

Pls READ from the first page. When you read you ask less questions.

Omishor2020:
Good day everyone. Please how much in pounds is IHS fee for 1 year masters....im confused

Harykemi:
Please I want to use form A to pay my school fees for Teeside but I can’t access their details . Please help me. How do I go about it?

Congratulations.

Visa Alert

Hallelujah.
For those that received a mail requesting for additional documents -Proof of education and employment.
No need to be worried.
My visa was approved the following day I sent the documents.
Thanks to everyone who provided information.

I will advice you to walk into any UBA bank and tell them you want to use FORM A. They will direct you on what to do.

Mikool101:

Thank you for your response. Please when doing the fund transfer from zenith to uba. Should I indicate on the remarks, tuition deposit, my full name, name of schl and my schl ID. Then should I use #571 or rather #600 rate when transferring to uba cos of fluctuations of exchange rate. Then when the funds get to uba, I use the current rate in the market. In addition can I transfer £3k tuition deposit using fund transfer form in the bank rather than using online banking.

You need to send mail and keep calling till they pick.

gentlesnow:
I stay in port Harcourt, its just sad, because i really wanted to go with Bradford University

Reenobed01:

Pls help me

Yes, you can.

I was thinking booking can only be done online now because I got a mail from them stating so.

Are you saying I can physically go to the office and still get a booking?
