@ Justwise @dduchess90.
Today makes it 30 days (September 18th) since we had our biometrics (Standard Application) at TLS Ikeja. We received 1 Empty NSF each as an applicant and a dependant.
We made 2 paid calls and 3 paid mails till date. The recent mail response I got today stated that they are sorry for the delay, that they are working on our applications and a decision will be made soon. No documents was Requested till date. The wait is killing. Kindly advise!

Good morning everyone, please I need inputs on this, thank you.

biosamak:



If your application is up to 15days you can do escalation mail that takes about 15 days for them to respond they set you up for an interview or ask more documents within the escalation period.

Hello house, my brother ( a dependent) traveling to the UK tonight was not allowed to board due to error on his vignette.

Spouse's initials are switched on his dependant's visa? Instead of A B Surname, it's B A Surname.

Pls where will he drop the vignette for correction and how long can the rectification take?

080bjaked:


No, born in the US means he'd get US port which allows him into the UK for a period of time 6months or so.

Thank you for your response...the mother plan a to switch to skilled work visa(with the new child) by November 2023.

So it's safe to travel back to the UK with just the baby's US port without applying for a UK visa from the US?

Hello house, please does a new child born in the USA need a visa to enter the UK. The mother is on a student visa. Thanks

Hello house,

Pls I can one use self sponsorship (both paid employment and personal employment) to submit Canada student visa application.

Thanks

duchess90:
Hello

At the moment

1. Yes as long as the dependant has her COS

2. Yes

Rules are changing in Jan 2024 regarding MA switching before end of studies, it targets switching to skilled workers visa but may also affect switching to other visa category

Cheers

Thank you

Hello house,
Please can a dependent of a student in the uk switch to a skilled work visa even when the student has not yet completed his studies?

Also can the student also switch to be a dependent of a skilled work visa holder before studies completion? Thanks.
