He should send the money to you or your parents’

is this the only way out, pls? a priest (not sharing same surname with applicant nor related ) wants to sponsor someone i know, ,must they move the money to the applicant or parents ?

angel4sure:
Nothing to worry. I paid my own deposit last month using my brother who stays there. Just give the person the necessary details. I did that form A with UBA since two months now, but until now my own has not been processed. I just had to use ur brother since my deadline was approaching. It went smoothly and school received it and sent me mails

I’m planning on doing same. What are the details you gave your brother and how many days did school receive the payment

With the current exchange rate… how much in naira should one have in for pof

For main applicant and 1 spouse dependent ?

Realshima88:

1400£ must be the IHS and VISA fee abeg o.

My wife 24 months course 1260 ihs and we paid visa fee 350

Hello

Yes it is the only way

How then will the student have access to the funds for studies? Apart from meeting the UKVI guidance, the maintenance funds needs to be accessible by the student

Cheers

Hello

It depends on your school tuition, what has been paid as deposit and the balance plus the stipulated maintenance funds which is calculated based on location ( within or outside London). When you do the maths use the Oanda exchange and give room for fluctuation (link below)

Best bet to look at the first page of the thread

Hello

nwauwa:
Please what are your opinions or way out on this:
someone is being fully sponsored by the foster parents ( a priest and wife) , they are not related nor bear same surname, they have enough money in their bank statement and have paid more than half tuition, however on the visa application form, the space for sponsor says you must provide court document or adoption letters or birth certificate to prove relationship with the sponsor. how do i overcome or handle this ?

Hello..

Then you don't need to submit any document for change of name

Your port is enough, your marriage certificate and other relevant documents will show proof of relationship

Cheers

babra19:

Yes please
I had the port before my wedding.

Towotowo:
This was helpful, thanks. I have a friend whose wife is applying next month and his visa ends by October 2022, that's 8 months left. I hope its ok if she applies at this time, and what's the chances she'll get her BRP also? looking forward to read back from you..

my visa application is six weeks plus and it’s still awaiting decision though I got an empty nsf about two weeks after I submitted but no additional document has been requested from me and till now is still awaiting decision. Any advise on what I can do next please im getting worried.

I want to say a big thank to you for your commitment here, I have noticed recently that you stayed up as late as 3am in the morning just to answer questions here for FREE. This is incredible! I appreciate you.

Everyone of you here spending endless time just to help complete strangers are appreciated.

Have him transfer the money into your own , that way you don’t need letter of sponsorship. UKVI emphasis is on the funds being in your own personal or that of your parents

Nmandu1:
That's means i don't need a sponsorship letter from him if he deposit the money into my ?

Thank you very much. Total School fees is 16k while deposit is 2k

just the way you transfer money from UBA to say first bank in Nigeria with minimal hassle, that is the same way .. there is nothing big in it. They just need your ission details and transfer should be immediate, worst case scenario after 24 hours

Hello

This is a long time,

Have you tried doing a paid mail or possibly call to chase up and confirm the status of your application

If you do and it is still awaiting decision please ask that they escalate it as it is past the stipulated time (6 weeks in total now)

Cheers

Dear friends.

Please I need your advice. I have an offer for a digital marketing course in Salford university(Manchester), RGU (Scotland) and Edinburgh Napier(Scotland).

Which would you recommend I go for please?

Please note that Edinburgh Napier has a 4months break but they are demanding payment of full tuition at matriculation which is tough for me now and is also £4,000 pounds higher in tuition fee than Salford and RGU.

Hello Great People. I appreciate your numerous contributions on the platform. I need some advice in the following;

1. I have a family of four. Me, my wife and two kids. I am hoping to apply first and put in my dependent applications maybe after three months when I settle in the UK. This I think will easy my settling process and limit find requirement on each application. What do you guys think?

2. I am going for a two years masters. Must I reflect the whole 2 years turion balance on my POF or just balance for one year?

3. Do i have to pay a IHS fee of two years or one year?

Thak you.

i’ve done that plenty times, it’s the same response I keep getting. It’s been on awaiting decision since. I’m so tired.

Is there any school still available for September/October MSC ission?

Just make your research but I don't see it feasible for you to meet up with everything. I suggest you go for January intake

Transfer to VAC Is taking longer than usual

is there anything that can be done
anything at all

Hello all. If a lady discovers that she's pregnant just before TB test and it's stated on the TB certificate, will it affect the chances of getting visa if the lady is the MA?

duchess90:
Hello

Perhaps you haven't gotten to that section yet?

It's usually towards the end I think

Cheers

Still did not come up. It has to do with level I guess, my course is at RQF6 so when I choose that it does come up but it comes up for other levels.
Hope this won’t be an issue because my checklist is just showing port and qualification evidence, no personal bank statement.
Thanks.

Are you the main applicant or dependant

I will like to know cheap schools in the U.K. Especially below £10,000

Akhat:


Please I really this info. The school is requesting $40 for English assessment skill test. Can I submit my WAEC result?

I was also made an offer to study Data Science and artificial intelligence, I was able to get my unconditional offer after I ed my proof of English waiver, my previous institution have already approved waiver. You can check further to see if your previous institution is also one of the already approved institution that waiver is applicable to.

Go for Salford, they have an opportunity for 6-9 months placement and based on the location it's easy to get a good place for placement. RGU is also good. But Salford is much better.
