jogunbona:

Bri please.. are you in Bournemouth now?.

Latito442:
Bournemouth have given me cas oooo

Please.. did Bournemouth request for 28 days proof of funds b4 giving you CAS?

bamituni:
Good day.
Pls can dependant do biometrics before the main applicant?
Also, can we use the assisted service option to get a closer appointment date...it seems a cheaper option than the walk in.
Thanks.

You can - the TLS people will subsequently link all the family applications together. Remind them to do so when the main applicant does their biometrics. The main applicant's GWF number is also there in the dependants' forms to link the applications anyway

Good morning G, dunno if you still frequent here, but I need help concerning this part of the IHS payment please , I have gotten the PABA and currently submitted my documents to be upgraded to level 3, now do I need to send money from my Uba bank I added to the Paga to my wallet then pay from the wallet or since I added the card I just pay from the card directly ? Am scared I don't have the option of paying twice and waiting to get my failed transaction sorted out.

Joshua62:

So for those that are trying to pay IHS fee of over $1000, i have successfully done mine....I paid $1836

See steps to follow below:

- First you must own a Paga which is quite easy to open
- Once you have a Paga , you will be on Level 1, so you have to Level 3 in order to be able to make transactions of huge sum of
amount, upgrading to Level 3 requires you to submit some documents which they will ...Once verification is complete, you will be upgraded to
level 3
- Next is to fund your paga wallet with the required amount you intend to pay. You can either fund your paga wallet with your debit card or fund your
via an online transfer from your GT mobile application which is quite straight forward.
- Once that is done, go back to your IHS payment platform page, select "PAGA"...not "PAGA VERVE", then select "Pay from my Paga Wallet" then click
confirm, automatically your paga will be deducted and your IHS payment will be confirmed.

This was how i did mine......Should incase you have any questions, i am willing to answer.

Thanks to all those that contributed and God bless you all!

Thank you!

Please o, (1)is it possible to get $1680 as IHS for a 1year course??
2) I see here a lot of people say they add 4 or 3minths to their course date when in the IHS calculator , this advisable or I should just state my course start and end date as started on my CAS

Hello, good afternoon, I’m trying to apply for student visa to the Uk, but I’ll have to explain overstaying a visit visa by couple of weeks, my legal stay ought to be 6months due August 22, but couldn’t leave because of coronavirus and Nigeria AirPort being closed, the Nigeria airport was opened on the 5th, and I left as soon as I can September 12, I want to believe I has a valid reason for staying beyond the allocated time, and I left immediately as soon as I can. How can I explain this on my application, I have my plane tickets document also I’ve been buying since July and It being canceled to show I tried my best to leave.

How do I explain this on my visa application

My NL friends please with assist. I applied for Visa yesterday paid for the UK vI services booked a date for my biometric recieved emails to confirm my bookings and date. Only for me to to my page and it’s showing me APPOINTMENT DATE NOT YET SET. I already have my appointment date confirmed via email. Please could this be an issue I even tried using the Amend button and it’s giving an authorization error message.

@Lagosismyhome

I think it’s the system error. I’ve also done my biometrics and logging into my now. It’s showing that I haven’t done any nor submitted my application.

I tried booking my appointment and i got this. Who else is having this error pls

It's a valid reason.

UKVI has said "During this time, you will not be treated as an overstayer or suffer any detriment in any future immigration applications for this consideration period."

@Lagosismyhome

I also booked a date for myself and dependents. I just checked our TLS profile now and its showing Not set yet for Appointment Time and Date for all of us.

This should be a system glitch. I advise you check before and after midnight today as I would do the same. It may be due to server maintenance.

Cheers

Check how much you've got to pay here: https://www.immigration-health-surcharge.service.gov.uk/checker/type

The exact amount in naira will be dependent on the rate your bank uses for the transaction as the cost will be charged in $.

@mimilyrics, thank you. Pls someone wants to help pay my IHS and Visa in UK, what's the procedure pls?

Just give the person your details to enable the person pay with his/her card.
Hope the person is someone you trust so that a fraudulently acquired card isn't used to make the payment.
