Hey MrsDaniels,hw u? Was able to sort it out. Thanks for your help, but I had to start another application since I hadn't paid for the first one. Have now paid for IHS, left with Visafee

TobyAn:
Morning everyone... My flight to Birmingham was delayed cos of the wahala in Lagos airport.. lol.. we were delayed leaving by 3 hours cos no light... Finally arrived to my hotel and collected BRP and completed enrollment... No questions at POE except name of my institution... Housing search begins... contacted several agencies and have an appointment for viewing soon.. Good luck to everyone still awaiting their visas.

welcome bro, wil get my BRP on Wednesday nxt week, am currently in London, arrived yesterday.

For the purpose of benefit to others coming after me, I wish to state that I placed a call to my school today concerning the issue i raised yesterday over work placement and extension of my visa, the school aligned itself with the submission of spicke c. They said that the decision to follow the one year placement should be done at the very beginning which is at the point of admission which will thereafter be reflected on my Cas. As I stand now, I either resume, declare interest in the work placement option which they regard as sandwich and later on leave UK to reapply for another one year or I change my admission entirely and forfeit my admission this year and wait till next year. Men and brethren, I am confused. Spike c, what's the work placement usually like? Lemme know if its worth it.

So basically you can't add that the moment you get to the UK because you did not indicate that during admission application?

No justwise I can still change in UK and continue my studies buh when my visa expires, I would need to exit, get a new cas, pay the work placement fees and be issued a new visa just like spikec said or I can write school officially from here, get a new Cas and process a new visa to cover for the two years. Because my resumption is close, lemme get to UK and take it from there. Meanwhile I asked a question, who knows about their work placement? Is it something you can advice me to go for despite the additional cost that comes with it? Do you think I should take it or leave it?

Go for it then

Ask your school how many "job placements" lead to permanent employment.
If the success rate is good the school will be proud to tell you.
If it is poor success then that may help you choose.

Ok in that case spikec is right.

Regarding work placement...no its not something you should labour that hard for only if you are looking for a way to stay longer in the UK.

You will be very lucky to get a company in your filed, many of them are unpaid and more or less slavery work

The way your school is treating it shows that its not really connected to your course or their own program.

Waow...its OK if that's the case. I don't need to over stress myself if that's the case. I would rather go for my one year and proceed in my career progression through other means. I want to use this medium to thank everyone justwise, spike c, Bourne ccsspatrick et all. I love you all.

Finally got my visa today. Thanks to everyone who contributed.

Bro what is your problem na? do you want people to spoil your mind? you have submitted already and nothing can be done again.

For your information, do you know i also made a mistake when i did my application years back? I was supposed to use the rate of the day i paid online but i wrote the rate of the day i printed my bank statement boldly on my application form and was still granted my Visa.

Nothing can be done again, sleep, eat and pray and come back here to testify. Don't ask questions again.

all the best

You are da best.
Your comment gave me hope.
Your opinion made me stop asking.
Permit me to let you know I gat my visa for me, wife n adorable daughter yesterday.

Keep the hopeful opinions up...

uncover:

Big mistake you made. Big one! Well miracles do happen.

Hey hey hey... There's a miracle here. Gat myself, wife and adorable daughter visa yesterday. Cheers

If you get a position in a very good company, it is totally worth it. You even have a better chance of getting employed permanently with them.

I would advise to look for a placement when the time comes, if you find a very good one, then switch to sandwich mode immediately.

Justwise talked about most being meager salaries and unpaid. I wouldn't know about that as I actually got a very good contract job with a very good company, and just used it as my placement. My manager was happy to sign it so win win for me

The experience is also worth it for your CV especially if you plan to stay behind

Does it mean I will be the one to look for work placement? I thought the school assists in this

Maybe spikec's case is different but work placement is mostly unpaid work and you will be very lucky to get a company in area of study.

Some schools do have companies to send you to or you look for placement company yourself then the school will give you letter to support it.

In terms of job search in the UK you can start that from April with your first and second semester result transcript

No I did mine at ikeja .I think it was o. The 14th cos I got mail collection on 15th around 10:30am.
I also had my interview on the 6th of sept too.
I guess urs is on the way,since u are using courier.

Hi please how much did everything cost you in naira? Thank you

I used first bank card for the visa fee they took about 213k ,first bank card is so expensive.
I used Stanbic card for nhs fee they took 117k.Also used stanbic for priority fee 79k.
Ikeja visa fee is higher than the VI.

The university would assist by sending job ads to you. They also organise job fairs with companies. But the surest way is to find one yourself

Yes, mine is very different so I wouldn't know much on standard placement pay. When I did my research, I found that top companies pay around 18k to 25k

What's wrong with GTB plz? Paid my IHS successfully but when I was about paying for visa fee it declined. Please what could be d problem? Have tried the early hours of this morning and its d same thing. Plz who encountered this?
