Good morning everyone. I tried paying for IHS for myself and my dependent. Mine was declined 3 times. My husband's went through at the 3rd try.
Tried mine again and they said it's cancelled, I should start afresh.

What do I do please? Seeing hubby's own went through and it has my GWR on it.

Paxziano:
Good day all...

My wife got this after her application... Any assistance?

It's straightforward... Send your employment letter if that was what you used in covering the study gap.

BRAINNY:
Guys, I am still waiting particularly someone who personally faced this situation and went through the istrative review. Also, is there anyone who used First bank lately?

There is someone on telegram. Check uk istrative review group.

Omoh no crowd oo. I spent like 10 minutes there and left. Ppl on appointment outside no reach 7 ppl oo.

I went there around past 12pm I was shocked to see no crowd.

As your application been received by DMC if you applied on 24th july

Anyone knows how best I can communicate with University of Derby?

They don't acknowledge nor reply to emails, my airtime keeps running out without picking up.

Got a family member in the UK to speak to them on my behalf, they requested a consent letter/email. I sent the email, they claim they're yet to receive it 48 hrs after.

I don taya!

Thank you very much duchess90; please how else can we go about the proof of fund for the child? We are in a confused state of mind right now and time is against us🙏🙏

I applied on 10th July and I have visa now.

I am only worried about my dependents.

They are yet to send email for them

Thanks

I think you can print another statement for visa which will exclude that lump sum, provided it is more than 28 days counted.

PLEASE WHICH SCHOOL IS THAT??

Onuohapeterson2:
@Duchess 90, @Justwise, @Cashmadam and all that gives valuable info's, thank you all.

I have two some Questions.


I submitted my POF to my school for CAS, 22nd June to 20th July, but the school refused, requesting I print from a date of transaction form June, Now on the SOA, from that 22nd June, visible transaction started on the 5th of July, so they said the are counting from 5th July being the date transaction was done from that 22nd June, Now because time isn't in my favour for CAS issue deadline, I printed backwards including the date of lump sum which was accepted.

Now my concerns are;

1. If in my POF , lump sum was shown, although it's source can be proved, (an investment liquidation), Hope it's won't be a problem during visa application

2. Most I use same printed SOA use to get CAS for my Visa application or can I print another without presence of lump sums so to save me lots of stress because I don't need any NSF mail.

3. In given evidence for study gap. unlike my recent place of work Reference which is much recent, the others are dated several months ago which I did submit to my school during ission application, Is it of concern given the other Reference with dates of months back but my recent work place date is this July.

Your wise advice please

@Duchess, justwise and others please help am really worried,

I think the only solution is to print your appointment on TLS and go early to inform them maybe they can allow you to do your biometric. Goodluck.

BRAINNY:
Yes, you can.

Boss, my employer ed his company as a business name on CAC and it is inactive. Can I still use him for my reference?

@fastseo, I mailed the school with proof of payment to confirm they have received my fees, say about a week after paying. I dont really remeber

with St. Nicholas center online. Even if they give you a distance date accept it like that. You should later go to their center and they will reschedule you for a closer date but with extra 15k.

Rena1212:
Helo everyone , please I’m totally confuse and scared please I need your suggestion.
I went to IOM Benin for Tb test, after the X-ray the doctor said he will place me on sputum which result is expected to be out 10 week which is 1st week of September, and my class start by September 13. Trying to book with other clinics center under Uk recommended ones the dates available are august 22 upward.
Now the question is should I wait for that IOM and is it possible the result comes out august ending?
And is it advisable to apply for visa by that September? Because I heard applying for visa late always leads to visa rejection, please how true is this ?

You are to pay for a service... Try paying for at least the cheapest service there... You'd get your appointment mail

I have mailed the school the telex and yet after a week plus their finance department has not cleared the payment which means they haven't received it but convera has sent it since.

Hi Duchess, I just collected my original waec cert and found out about the wrong date and month of birth, how do I go about this, do I use court affidavit or use it like that?
Please reply, thanks.

Did you submit all required Documents that a dependant needs for visa application?

Hello, thanks. It wasn't about the funds but because First Bank didn't respond. Quite painful!

Cashmadam:


The case is simple.

The money in your was inadequate. Even if the money was adequate, your Bank did not respond to confirm your balance.

You cannot use review in this case.

Ask your school for a new CAS and start the process again.

Good luck!

Yes I did. I applied same day with MA. We did biometrics same day together with my daughter

Congratulations. in regards to the change of name affidavit, does all your documents still carry your dad's name or your own name?

Secondly, can one do change of name without a Registry marriage certificate?

Did you also do Newspaper change of name?

BRAINNY:
Hello duchess and all gurus, I need help. We had a visa refusal and were asked to apply for an istrative review. Here are the grounds for the refusal as shown on the screenshot. The truth remains that, the funds in the were dissipated while waiting; a part went debited for Form A. while the others got debited after the expiration of the 30/31 days. Please, the way forward?

Is it better to ask the bank to send my statement directly to the Embassy. I have tried to confirm if the embassy has been in touch with Gtbank but they don't understand what I am saying. I don't want the above response to be my case.
