Hello

The point I am making is, if you have made those payments then why are you asking if it should be deducted.

What you are submitting is the balance of your statement and invoice/receipt of things you have paid for since your arrival

Because you are submitting multiple statements (yours and dependant), include a cover letter to explain what statement refers to who so the ECO doesn't get confused

Cheers

Thanks for your response

I'm already in UK.

I have part part payment before my I got my CAS

The only additional that I have made to the school after my visa is accomodation and bond fees

My question : Can the payment I made to the school after my visa be deducted from my POF?

I want my dependents to my POF as part of their own documents

Hello my people, attached is the offer I got from University of Salford. Can this be used as an invoice to initiate Form A payment for my initial deposit. Thanks

BCU, anyone?

IS there a need for proof of relationship. when using a sibling (but letter of authorization to debit was submitted)for Form A?

All glory to God Almighty, despite the fears He came through. Everyone expecting will also testify by God's grace. Thanks @dduchess and crew. God bless you guys big time.

Which work document did you submit initially?

To be on a safer side for PoF, let the fund be in student's OR parent. Unless the sibling is recognized by law as the guardian.

If you are paying directly though, eg: deposit or entire tuition ahead of CAS or Visa application, then, doesn't matter whose the payment is from, as long as correct student's info used, school will recognize it and include amout paid in the CAS.

Good evening Everyone,

I want to know the path to sending an escalation email to UKVI regarding enquiries about dependant visa application. My application as a dependant is over the 15 working days SLA and no information yet. MA is already in the UK.

Details like escalation email handle and format if applicable will be deeply appreciated.

@dduchess90, your assistance is required once again here. Thank you.

Mowills123:


From the uk gov website, it is required at visa application stage only, but if u feel scared about it then just redo the test.

Thank you so much!

Hello

What was the error??

Cheers

The month of birth, it should be April but the person put may, but it's may on the port, marriage cert, affidavit and even on the husband's application (husband is in UK already).

Please how do I go about this, got BRP mail since Tuesday yet application still at DMC and no collection mail.

cutebear:
Everyone, please be very vigilant especially if you have gotten a decision but it's taking longer than usual to get your port back. I know they will tell you to wait 10 working days after getting decision before you will get your port but THAT IS NOT NORMAL! We all know it doesn't take that long to get your port back. People that get a decision on the 13th working day usually get collection mail on the 15th working day.

Today made it 10 working days after decision/brp letter and I hadn't gotten my port. I called British High Commission Abuja customer care and the staff that took my details called my mobile line later that night and was demanding 50k before he could track my port for me. I did my bio since the first week of August so, the past 8 weeks have been from one battle to another. Luckily, my friend told me yesterday that she had a family friend in BHC so I quickly gave her my details. The I got was that my port had basically been abandoned! UKVI didn't even bother to inform BHC to print my visa. It was my friend's family friend that sent an email to UKVI and they finally approved it that same yesterday. My visa was printed and was dispatched by DHL today!!! Due to their negligence, I have already missed a lot in school and I will still miss classes of next week and a bit of upper week because one-way flight tickets for this coming week are showing 2M and above.

All I'm saying is that be vigilant! It's not normal for our ports to just be sitting in BHC office collecting dust. Infact, if it's taking longer than 3 days after decision, start sending emails and blasting them with calls. BHC o, UKVI o, all of them are incompetent!!!

Please can someone use neco result for olevel as part of visa processing because I do not English language in my waec. Thanks

When did you apply please

Hello,

Did you reply the mail as @dduchess90 advised yet?

Dear All,

Top of the morning to you.Kindly assist

Pls I applied for Student Visa with 2 of my Dependants,did biometrics 13th of December,2022.I We didn’t get any response from UKVI but I sent a paid mail yesterday got this response below stating Standard UK Visitor.

Thank you for ing UK Visas and Immigration International Centre.

With regards to your enquiry about the status of your application, I can confirm that your application is being considered and is currently awaiting a decision. We understand how frustrating these delays are and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Standard UK visitor visas are currently taking longer than usual to be processed due to high global demand. You should bear this in mind when making travel arrangements. UKVI are working hard to process applications as soon as possible. We thank you for your patience.

You will be ed by the Visa Application Centre (VAC) when your port is ready for collection. Do not attend the VAC until you have been invited to do so.

You are not required to book any travel before you apply or before a decision is made on your application. You’ll only be refunded if we have not started processing your application.

We strongly recommend that you do not buy a non-refundable, non-flexible ticket to the UK, until your visa application has been approved and you have received your documents.

Hello

If your Uni accepts it then it should be fine for your visa application

The question is,did the Uni you applied to accept it as an alternative for English Language conditions?

Cheers
