Honestly still on it,uptill now no response from them ,I wonder how they want their students to get prepared

Thank God for this thread, I had them in mind but the reviews I get from nairalanders here made me change my mind. Waiting on BCU, UWE and GCU to respond to my application for January intake

Atyadz:


Yes, o, plus 2 public holidays in between. It was God all the way.
Thank you so much.

I'm telling you, I said it, holidays are not affecting the ukvi decision-making process dept because they are in Sheffield, uk some in Pretoria SA for south africans, once we have done biometric, the digital electronic channel will make them see it, Baba you don break records. The fastest standard visa application so far. Within12 working days, abaahh we go pour some wine, Tell me your package so others can learn how you did yours the whole packaging for everyone.

Children
All children must see a clinician who’ll decide if they need a chest x-ray. Children under 11 will not normally have a chest x-ray.

You must take your child to an approved clinic(IOM) and complete a health questionnaire. If the clinician decides your child does not have TB they’ll give you a certificate. Include this certificate with your child’s UK visa application

exactly where i applied to also, waiting for their response for offer too

Can take my baby for TB test without her international port? Would they attend to her. Her port will be out 1st week in August.

This thread is incredible, contributors nothing short of amazing!

Note I read from page 1 of this thread (Part 5). Recent and helpful. Interestingly, I had already made our visa application in June before discovering this thread but not without several research on how to proceed.

Nothing rivals this though. It is one-stop-shop.

Back to my application. So, I am reading through the 200+ page on July 2 only to realize I did not fully grasp the 28day requirement. I mistook application date for biometrics submission date. PANIC!! My 28th day was 4 days short.

Luckily, biometrics was scheduled for the 9th of July, so I had a leeway for a refund from TLS (5 working days before appointment). Had TB test done on the 7th.

Cancelled application and appointment. Made a new application selecting July 13th as new date for biometrics.

Family of 5 visa issued.

MY TWO CENTS:
1. Read, research. It will help with your future study too. This thread would probably be 200 pages if we are calm and read through. Yes, it can be nerve wrecking, but believe in your ability to do it.
2. You do not need an agent, especially paid ones. A good number get you into trouble. A colleague used one that did not declare past visa refusals and visit to Kuwait. She was found out and denied (A visitor visa)
3. Do not rush your application. Check and re-check. Well, this may be easier said because I still forgot to declare my US visitor refusal for the year 2000. Guessing they let it slide because I had declared in previous applications, it was more than 10 years and I had a number of US renewals after that.
4. UK is expensive with everchanging rules. If you do not have the funds to cover your 1-year tuition at least, please defer. Relaying solely on ‘hustle’ for both tuition and maintenance may not work as envisaged. Friends will shock you. You fail on payments; the school will report you because they value their license more. This was a 2-year journey for me.
5. Our circumstances differ. As much as there is a general point-based rule, you may need to provide additional (useful) for your application. That is why the section for additional information was not taken out and the site has a category termed ‘others’.
- I am 43. Last degree 21 years ago (B.Sc. Psychology). 21 years in banking (E-business). Applied for a 2-year program unrelated to
Banking or Business with 16 and 15-year-old sons (dependents) in tow.
- Australian cultural visa refusal in 2019
- I explained my gap years. Explained plans for my 2 children’s university education. I also got letters from the organizations I had
worked with to explain my program choice. No, I was not called for credibility interview.
- Please do not mention or what is not useful. Stay within your CAS requirements, POF and SELT (if required)

6. Proof of funds statement
a. A lien shows a variance between total funds and available funds. Do not print
b. PND shows no variance. However, the Home office can provide your consent forms to request if there is any form of restriction on the . Some banks oblige that information. Have it in mind that see adverts on POF.
c. I used an where I did not transact at all and it did not count against me. A t with my spouse we have run since 2008.
Just thought to share and hope it helps someone else here in a similar bucket.

I kept seeing references to JUSTWISE and had to do a search.
- Immigration topics in service to others as far back as 2007 or so
- Various topics and countries. Wow! Just wow!

What got me rolling was the snippy signature:
Signature: Don't underestimate the power of stupid people in a large group

Thanks a lot, justwise, thank you to everyone that painstakingly help address questions/issues even after receiving their visas

Thanks for reading.

Holufunmee:

They won’t send you response,if you create portal with them,go and check to see their reply. That what I did when I was expecting their response for 3weeks
Until I check my portal with them

Glamorouspat1:
Good everyone, please I am filling my application to the university of hull, I am at part where they say transcript. I don't have my transcripts,not to talk of ing. My friend just told me that my school won't give me my transcript by hand, they will have to send it to the school.

Please someone should advice me how to go about it. Thanks

Same thing with my sch. I Had to look for a company I know someone, so I paid for local delivery and it was sent to that company and I went to collect it, have been using it to apply to schools nw. Use this method instead of paying to send directly to different schools and spending huge amount

Thank you very much for the help so far as regards my question on dependants.
Please now I want to confirm, I heard that the deadline for my dependant to come into the UK(so as to be qualified for PSW) is September 27, does anybody have any information/confirmation as regards this please?
@justwise @justwise @justwise

Please your inputs will be appreciated as this will change my plans totally.

*PSA Everyone!!!*

I love everyone on this thread. The love is real. The information that y'all give are what people pay hundreds of thousands to get from many clueless agents but, y'all be giving it freely just so everyone is void of errors and are happy. Thank you so much for the heart of gold that y'all have.

Especially at bro @Justwise. I recently discovered that Justwise has been answering questions on here since 2012, y'all!!! 2012! Maybe longer but, I saw a thread from 2012! Baba, you suppose don be ECO for UK embassy o, you will not be tired in Jesus' name. Thank you so much for all you do. And to other gurus in the house, y'all are the real MVP and God bless y'all.

Please read this for a complete content of that section

This is where the information came from https://www.gov.uk/government/news/graduate-route-for-best-and-brightest-launches

I just abstracted this section

A coronavirus concession on the date by which students must enter the UK, if they started courses in 2020 and are unable to travel due to the pandemic, has been extended to 27 September, recognising the continuing disruption many face due to international travel restrictions.

Applicants who began their studies in autumn 2020 or in spring 2021 will need to be in the UK with permission as a student by 27 September 2021. Students beginning their course this autumn or early next year will need to be in the UK by 6 April 2022.

We are trying to build info hub here for everyone to benefit from.

Thanks though

@theguyfromHr @domistic and @justwise
Thank you for the response, I really appreciate
However, I’ve been in the UK since March, my course started in January.

It’s for my DEPENDENT to me in September, so they also have to be in the UK before September 27 to be considered for the PSW when I switch?
That’s what is confusing me, I apologise for the stress.

If your primary applicant will benefit from the post study, it seems automatically you will benefit too being the dependent, My opinion though.. Everything depends on the primary applicant.

Thank you very much oh
that’s what I believed as well until I heard last night that the dependent also needs to come in by September 27 (to qualify for PSW) even if the primary applicant has been in the UK before then and qualifies for the PSW.

Which is what freaked me out.
