Ponmsi:
Good evening everyone,

Thank you to everyone who has been doing well in giving insights and answers to different questions posted here. It's greatly appreciated.

I will like to ask if anyone knows if the UKVI checks on if a company that gives recommendation letter to a staff who is applying for student Visa is active on CAC site or not?

The applicant did a priority application and has done biometrics more than a week ago(21st Dec), though it was just 3 days he got to know his employer's company is inactive on CAC. Hope it can't lead to a refusal?

Also, he got a generic "Not straightforward mail" without asking for any further information or documents a day after Bio and hasn't heard anything again from them and application is still at DMC.

Kindly help by giving insights into the questions, thank you so much...Cheers

My company was inactive and I have gotten my visa, I don't think it is a big deal.

Ochudochukatobi:

For me priority is a waste of money.
Most people with priority don’t even get their visa in 5 days.
Many standard get it faster than even priority
Keep your money
Advice from experience tho

I got mine in five days

From my observation, I noticed majority of applicants make use of IOM for their TB best. What of Qlife and St Nicolas hospital and others.

Thanks in anticipation.

They are valid

Viktor454:
What if; up until the date of applied the exchange rate was good and after you applied the next day the exchange rate rose are you still safe?

UKVi uses the date of your application to determine the rate... if the money you have on your POF Tallies with the rate on the date of your application you are good if not pay more school fees

Viktor454:
I don't understand, lost 1m to what?

You will need to pay more school fees.... xchange rate is not friendly right now...God help us all

During my Visa application (main applicant), I was to pay IHS fee of 1,198usd, which I did paid but on getting to that of my hubby ( dependent), he's to pay 2,396 USD which is twice of mine. What could be wrong pls?

Check the date you input for your visa expiry date..That date is used ti determine your fee

Just get someone to help you pay and I hope it is successful, UBA debited 1800usd and I'm yet to receive it.

Gloriyah:


When you paid for visa/IHS , was the rate within the amount in your ??

If yes, there’s nothing to be worried about.

No, I paid for IHS on the 6th of December, MY POF is 33,677£.
When I started my POF I only needed 17.6m Naira and I had 18m Naira in my bank statements, As at today POF required is 18.250M Naira.

Please I need help concerning mY POF, OANDA rate has made my POF to increase by 260,000 Naira and my biometric is on Monday. Has any one experience this kind of issue and Visa was approved.?

Efep:
Hello good evening everyone.. please I'll need urgent answer to my question..how can I pay ucas application online..will they allow me to pay using my Nigeria master card ..and will they accept naira as payment for the 27 pounds, pls someone should tell me how to go about it.

Your Naira won't work unless you goto your bank to activate to for international WEB transactions, That is the new CBN directive.

zanebaddo:
Are you saying after writing such letter the bank would unblock your card so you can make international payment?

Yes, it was blocked generally to avoid fraudulent transactions, That is the new directive from CBN

kymkym:
Good morning

Please who has made booking for December 22 recently, which site and how much?

You will have to go to your bank and write a letter, CBN has blocked Naira card for international Web transactions, You will have to write letter for the bank to unlock it

Promoter2:


Oh sorry. I hope you received the refund soonest. You may wish to source for funds to pay while waiting for the refund. It may take time ( or might not)

I was debited yesterday without refund, I bought more USD this morning and was debited again. I'm scared to try it again.
