For self-, you don't need to go with it, just before your appointment but for assisted service, go with the original bank statement.

Good evening people
Please for anyone that has used paga verve of recent please how much do they charge per £?

Also going to Visa office, would I have to go with the original copy of bank statement or just scanned copy is fine as I'm using my parents and we aren't in the same place

@lagosismyhome @mamacajah @guyfromhr @mimilyrics

So here is my story.....

Biometric and interview - 27th August Ikeja
Dependant- 28th of August

Got my port back with VISA in it Sept 22nd

Got a decision mail for my Dependant on Thursday
(24th of Sept). A refusal mail. In the mail the ECO stated that (basically that she didn't see any reason for my husband not apply with us and why I'm going alone with the child in the consent letter).


*I asking @Justwise and @mimilyrics about how to apply since my Husband works and leave in the US and won't be applying with us and they both gave me the best advice but unfortunately that happened.

Immediately I applied again this time with her Nigerian port with help and advice from friends and thorough thinking on how to reapply.

So this time we decided to write the consent letter,(repeated the initial reasons) but this time boldly so the ECO can see it at first glance. Because I assumed she didn't read the consent letter or probably didn't read the part where I said he works and live in the US, sha with some other reasonable and truthful reasons including pictures).


I reapplied, paid for priority on Sunday 28th of September,(All this while we were waiting for the port we used for initial application, *US port). So she did biometric and submitted on Monday 29th

Then we made a call to UKVI on Monday 29th to escalate and return the first port.I received the port the next day Tuesday 30th of sept.

Decision mail - OCT 2nd (for the new application)
Collection - 5th of Oct with VISA sitting pretty in the port (Nigerian port).

Alhamdulillaah!Alhamdulillaah!!Alhamdulillaah!!!

Please forgive me if find errors in the write up.

Thank you @Justwise and @Mimilyrics and everybody

mimilyrics:

please who can list universities in UK that accepts just 1k pounds as tuition deposit?

Sheffield Hallam University accepts 1000GBP tuition deposit

I said the same thing and I am presently staying at my sister place for my 14days quarantine

Flezi1:
In my application I stated that I have a family in the UK. But I also stated I would be renting a place to stay. I ticked I would not be staying with family. If I decide to stay with the family I stated on my application, for my quarantine, would this be an issue? Any advise from someone with same experience would be appreciated.

Please has any 18th September receive a decision mail( standard)?
