BokoRam:

gbaby87; Tanx 4 your quick response. Just wondering that withing thursday to date, the status is still yet to change. do u ve an idea of y its happenin dt way. Pls pardon me for asking too much question.

davidylan:

my God! the amount of money folks here pay for a masters degree!
That's enough to start up a successful business here in nigeria.

justwise:

That is true, just under 9months the £14,000 up to £16,000 is gone.

How many of us are ready to pay half of that for better facility and good education in Nigeria?

davidylan:

What type of jobs do you get that provides such a ROI?

justwise:

Its madness, actually if u are doing your Msc in London, it will cost you nothing less than £17200 in 9-10 months, and you are not guaranteed a job anywhere.

davidylan:

N4m?

justwise:

Yes

davidylan:

and i just read you cant even get a work visa after school neither can you bring your dependents anymore. So what's the point wasting all that cash? Why not try Canada or the US?

justwise:

Yes u can. Getting a job after graduation is tougher than it was 5 yrs ago and the global economic situation made things even harder.
Going to US will cost you the same if not more. Canada could be cheaper for Msc but more expensive for undergraduate.

davidylan:

Canada is more expensive[b] but for immigration purposes it is probably the best choice of the 3[/b].
The US is about the same cost but depends on what program you are going for. A phd in the biomedical sciences for example is absolutely free and you are paid a monthly stipend enough to maintain an apt, car and still have enough for pocket money.

princedm:

I can confirm that those numbers on the BHC website are just there to fool you all. I have seen people who submitted in September and gotten visas and they are saying they are still treating Aug 22nd. The lady even told me i'm a liar even when I have set my eyes on the visas, seems to me they are uk vac reps and they just calculate based on date you submitted. When i called i was not even asked for any reference number.

Forget about the exchange rate or anything else, if you are required to have £5200 and after
you submitted your application u went on to withdrew below that £5200 then IF the embassy
finds out your visa will be refused.

Since I've been withdrawing it has not gone below 1,410,000 naira, nd I am required to show dat I have £5,200. Is it okay?

@Justwise pls answer me. Thanks
