hello fam,

is there any format or template of cv that someone can use to apply for part time jobs here in uk, please kindly send me one to ayokunmi12@gmail.com

You should have a section in your school that helps students reformat their CV and interview/ job queries or findings. Search for International advisory of your school
Which area are you in the UK? Amazon jobs is on going. Search for pmp recruitment site.

Different schools have different rules ... some schools just issue CAS without asking for bank statements or properly scrutinise the documents sent by students before issuing CAS (although this is chabging now as the home office is making sure the school do detailed check on the students documents before issuing CAS).

These are the options;

(1) I will suggest you tell your aunty to move the money to your parents account (reason for this is that your parents having that huge amount of cash is not going to be a problem since they will assume they are working). All you will need is to submit your Birth certificate and your parents write a letter permitting you to use the funds in their account.

OR

(2) you can move the money to your personal account BUT If you just finished from school and you have that amount of money in your own personal account, they may start asking questions depending on the ECO that handles your case. Also transfer of a lump sum to your personal account will raise a red flag.

[/b]If you decide to go with option 1 which I always strongly recommend for people who just left school, remember to submit your birth certificate and a letter MUST be written by your parents confirming that they have given you full access to the funds for your maintenance while studying in UK[b]

[/b]Also, due to fluctuating rates, try and add extra money in your account during the 28 days counting period just to be safe.[b]

I inquired from my school and they require a 28 day statement before I can get a CAS.
Thank you for the options you have given.
I intend to make my aunt my legal guardian by getting a court affidavit.
What do you think?

It would not work using her. The rule only supported parents as a guardian. Why can't she transfer the fund to your account, instead?

Well using a legal guardian is an option provided according to rules but I have not seen anyone around me that has used it before. Yours will probably be the first if you go through with it as planned.

But make sure you think about this route very well and you are very sure you can successfully pull this through. Also read what is required as proof to be shown by the legal guardian and you. All the best.

Actually according to the rule, he can use a legal guardian but to be honest, it is a very very difficult route.

not trying to be all negative, I doubt if that can work in naija knowing fully well that we don’t document things so how would he prove his aunt has been his legal guardian? Well no harm in trying.

@timmiey

Let me be honest with you, that route you want to take is not a familiar route, infact it is a lonely route as no one I know that has applied for UK student visa (trust me I know many) has used that route before. Even here on Nairaland, I doubt if many people have used a legal guardian.

I strongly advise you use your personal account or parents account. This is my honest opinion.

Is anyone studying/living in Winchester? Please let me know .. CHeers

Hi there Timmiey, pls adhere to the earlier suggestions. I kept mute thinking smone wld pop as a victim ...but seems I am d only one.... Luckily for me my uni (NOT UK EMBASSY) declined my uncle's acct whom I used as my guardian.
I was told It wld work perfectly if one is an orphan or legally raised over years. As mentioned, it requires lots of documents. In my case the uni declined his acct, thus had to use my personal acct. Note this isnt a Nign thing.. I applied outside Nigeria, and my uncle is based outside Africa.
hope it helps. BOL

If I was in your shoes, I will take the direct entry medicine option. The UK isn't running away, and as a doctor, you are guaranteed a decent income. I wouldn't spend over £9000 tuition (excluding living expenses) to study fishery in the UK. Good luck with whatever you decide. Meanwhile, all you need to do to start working as a doctor is the PLAB licensing exams.

thanks I really appreciate ur response

OlowoB:


Hello bro, if your plan is to stay in UK after studies, forget it. immigration laws makes it almost impossible and again, your course is not even among the most sought after. Except your are privileged to study in Cambridge or oxford.... just forget it.

Bro, try USA, CANADA or so your masters in naija and get a job and continue with your life.

How old are you? I really don’t like the idea of spending another 5 years (minus assu strike and the other strikes) in school to study medicine..... how much do they even pay doctors in naija? I will never advise anyone to student medicine in naija except it is your passion.

thanks,I'm 21

That is the main point there.

I am surprised you even told me your age.... wasn’t expecting an answer. God be with you.

Forget my initial advice above. Please go for the direct entry into medicine (provided you love doing it), you will be happy you did in future. You have all the time now..... with focus and patience, you will see your dreams turn to reality in 5 years time and before you start the journey PRAY.

If you were 25 and above, my advice would have been different. Once again, God be with you.

I filed my AR on the 13th of September and got a mail from the ECM dat refusal has been overturned on the 26th of September... so it took 13days in all... I submitted my passport to vac on the 27th and still waiting to get a mail for pickup as last date for school is October 16... anyone got an idea how long it will take to get passport returned back after submission?.

Hi dear,pls have you gotten your passport back? If yes, did you pick it from the embassy or vac centre?

Hello guys,

Can anyone tell me whether an NPC attestation of birth, is acceptable to UKVI. I submitted one with my application but the ECO refused me entry clearance on the basis that I did not provide a Birth Certificate, making me wonder if they don't recognise the NPC attestation of birth document.

I applied for AR

My dear, its even more recognized than the hospital birth certificate. All foreign embassies accept it. Some Eco's are so dumb, don't worry the ECM are more careful and knowledgable in immigration rules than the Eco's, I believe your refusal will be overturned, just make sure your address your points well. All the best

Thanks ujugirl88, that's reassuring, personally I was shocked at the eco's statement.

In my AR, I addressed the validity of that document, I hope and pray that the refusal is overturned.

Hello:
For curiosity (and knowledge sake)
Did you say you tendered an NPC Birth ATTESTATION?
Is there such a thing?

Were you supposed to submit a Birth CERTIFICATE or an ATTeSTATION?

I take it that the ATTESTATION you are talking about is different from a Statuory Declaration of Age from a Court of Law?

You needed to provide a BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

This “NPC ATTESTATION of Birth”
When did NPC start issuing that?

Do you have more information or your basis for calling some ECOs “dumb” is based on the information provided?

Did you say the NPC ATTESTATION of Birth is even more recognised than the hospital birth certificate?

Biko, what information is on the NPC ATTESTATION of Birth?

My dear, I am 100% sure of what I'm saying, NPC attestation of birth is recognized outside the country than hospital or local govt birth certificate. Its like a federal government birth certificate. The National population commission (NPC) is the only body approved by the federal government to issue it. Some embassies even if you present your birth certificate, they will still demand for this NPC attestation of birth. The information on it is your full names, date of birth, local and state government and your the full names of your parents. If you want to get one for yourself, you need to go to court first, any high court with your passport photography and any means of identification to get affidavit of birth, after that, you proceed to NPC to get the attestation. The whole process takes a week or so.if you are born either in 1990 or 1995 and above not sure the particular year, the NPC will issue you a birth certificate, but if you are born before this year, you will be issued attestation of birth, the reason is becos the NPC was appointed by the govt that year to issue birth certificates, so anyone born before 1990 abi 1995 (not really sure abt the particular year)gets an attestation of birth

LaaJiblik:

This “NPC ATTESTATION of Birth”
When did NPC start issuing that?

The National Population Commission in 1992 or thereabouts was assigned the function of registering births, deaths, marriages divorcees etc and issuing Certificates. This was done by decree of the Federal Military Govt then (do your research).

Birth certificates are issued to persons 0-17 years while an "attestation of birth" for persons 18 and over.

It's a very valid document recognised nationwide and as ujugirl88 said internationally, so any eco that rejects it must be ignorant

ujugirl88:

Yes I'm in UK already... I picked it up at the embassy

tush1986:


Yes I'm in UK already... I picked it up at the embassy

Ohh, that's nice, did they send you a mail or call you for pick up? Or you just went there?

ujugirl88:

They sent collection mail

tush1986:


They sent collection mail

I summited my passport for visa after admn review was successful on the 20th of September, I went to the embassy after 2 weeks to see if its ready for pick up, but they said it will be ready 3rd or 4th week of this month. I'm just wondering why its taking them forever to stamp Visa, still waiting for the collection mail tho. smh

tush1986:

How long it took to get stamp after submission
