I need your advise for a brother, He got COS as a dependant, and applied without knowing that he will need proof of English language, after the application, the home office wrote him to provide proof of English. He wrote IELTS and fail Reading aspect of the test which made him not to and qualify for the proof of English test. He later applied for re-mark but the result is not yet out, the embassy gave him 10 working days to provide this.

However, in the course of the application the BRP has expired. But fortunately, the primary applicant (wife) had some issues with her study which require her to apply for extension, she applied and got 6 months approval to complete her study.

My question now is that, is it possible to cancel the existing application and re-apply as a dependant on the primary applicant? Secondly, is the application going to be considered for the fact that BRP is already expired if he applied as a dependant. Kindly advise please.

Thank you

Baba ...what are u saying ....

Lance008:
she said Abuja but clearly stated Lagos
I think this is a scam
I didn't even know the means of payment she just told me she has made payment I need to pay back

So you mean you have not paid your agent for VISA application and the agent paid on your behalf abi?

Dey play.

Baba ...what are u saying ....

Saying my guy entered UK on Student visa (dependant) on getting to UK, He got COS, and applied as main applicant on skilled work visa while his wife is about to finish her program. Unfortunately, He was not aware that he will need proof of English language to apply as the primary applicant for the COS. After he applied with COS without proof of English language. The home office now asked him to provide evidence that he met the English requirements i.e. test of English. He quickly for IELTS Exam but failed READING part of the English language test (3.5 point) which make him not to meet the English language requirement as specify by UKVI. After the test he got 5.5 for the overall but 3.5 point in READING which is below the 4.5 as recommended by UKVI. He ed the test result after, and home office wrote to him again to provide evidence that he has met English Language requirement see below.

"You are required to provide evidence that you have met the English requirements as stated on Appendix English Language. This can be either a UKVI accredited English certificate from an approved testing centre, or a UK NARIC letter to confirm the UK equivalent level of your qualification and that your overseas degree was taught or researched in English to level B1 of the Council of Europe’s Common European Framework for Language learning or above.
You need to to your application and your evidence.
Please send this within 10 working days."

Meanwhile, his wife (primary applicant on student visa) has finished her studies and her visa was almost expired but have some outstanding courses to clear, but upon several consultation, she was asked to apply for extension to complete her study. Fortunately, she got 6 months visa approval by home office.

that, the husband application on COS was still pending based on the evidence of English language he was unable to provided. The home office now gave him 10 days to provide English language evidence. In the process, the wife got 6 months visa extension to complete her study.

My question now is that, is it possible to cancel the Skill worker visa application and apply as a dependant under his wife (student primary applicant)? Secondly, if he apply as a dependant on the 6 month visa extension, is the application going to be considered for the fact that the husband visa is already expired. Hope you understand now.

Thank you

Tell your agent that your brother that wants to make payment requested for your application form. That without the application form, your brother said no payment.

U already have an application in the pipeline of ukvi....so that's a good thing ...

y ur friend no just do another test so he can get a work visa which is more permanent.... COS is hard to come by oooo.... he should Send send an email to ukvi to give him more Time for his result to come out.... (On another note..the guy no get bachelor's degree?? He can get ECCTIS report if he is afraid of failing another test)

By the time the wife finishes her course she will just him easily as dependent.... Instead of both of them looking for COS...

I don't think so ooooo

anyone do biometrics on the 19th september - 22 september ? have you heard back?

Hello guys,
I got my visa with my wife's visa Skilled worker my wife as primary applicant, me as dependant. But to my surprise, we were both issued 3 months visa. Is it that we will get the 5 years on our BRP after we get to the UK? and also, will they mail our BRP to the given address before we get there or after we get there? what should we do now since our visa is out other than buying flight ticket?
thanks

No boss . Its not 3 month VISA. what you got in your port is an entry clearance which elapses in 3 months (standard for everyone). What it means is that you have 3 months to enter Uk so you can receive your BRP. that is where you see the 5years.

I guess it's an error.

Truthfully I used the first email to and didn't get the verification link, something prompted me to switch to my second email and it worked.

You can try that

Screenshot your question to someone who traveled to the UK last week via Cotonou,& these was his response (would have attached screenshot but I don't know what is wrong with Nairaland)

You don't need anything

(1) : Print your boarding & go with your port

(2) : Your port *MUST* be stamped at the boarder else you won't be allowed to fly

(3) : Your check-in 🛫 bags 🛍️ are allowed to weigh up to 23.4kg each and *NOT* 23.5kg

(4) : Maintain 8kg on your hand luggage 🧳 & if you're carrying a back pack or a hand bag, make sure it is not looking heavy, else you'll be asked to pay
**********

That's All, happy flying

Bless you. Thanks for the clarification.

I ended up ing them, information i have is that a decision has been made.

I must say that the portal is not yet reflective. I guess this is the same with others.
