Good evening guys. I wish to findout if someone can change his/her visa application status from standard to priority. Before I had my interview today, I write to my school to assist me pay for a priority visa cuz am scholarship student and the body pays only for a standard visa. Just got a mail from the school that they are willing to refund if I do it. Now am willing to but is there any possibility for me to change this. Please urgent replies will be immensely appreciated.

Hello guys. Please I need your advice.
Is NYSC certificate compulsory for a UK postgraduate program? My sister has just graduated and has an offer for a postgraduate degree but wants to come to Nigeria for her NYSC first. The problem is that she has already deferred her admission to September next year but if she's registering for NYSC she'll be passing out by end of September or October next year. Do you think her call up letter will suffice? Please help

Good day to you all. I got admitted to University of the West of Scotland. My mum sister is my sponsor and she is a permanent resident in UK. I am about applying for visa but she asked me to submit her documents and UK bank statement to UKVI. She has secured an accomodation for me outside campus. But I dont know if it is a red flag for me to submit her documents as my legal sponsor. Must the money be in her account for 28 days?

mimilyrics:
You cannot use her statement as she's neither your mother nor your legal guardian. She'll have to transfer the money to you for the 28 day count.

STENON:
when I tried convincing her she said , She acted like a legal sponsor for two of my cousins like 8 years ago with the same procedure but not my own 28 days count

Hello house, please is there any thread on nairaland that deals with hassles faced in the airport when travelling 2 d uk....especially as regards luggage allowances �

I haveee alloooooottttt to caryyy....so i booked etihad nd we just given 40kg, i have been thinking on what to do.
@justwise @mimilyrics @lajibilik

mimilyrics:
I really don't know of any thread that specifically deals with this. When are you due to leave Nig? For Etihad, You can buy excess baggage allowance up to 48 hours before your flight. You get 20% off when you buy while booking your ticket and before the date of your flight. Excess baggage starts from $55 For 2kg, $125 For 5kg and about $100 increment on every additional 5kg.
Alternatively, you can use a cargo company to send whatever excess you have. A cargo company (centrepoint services) I've used before charges N700/kg to send stuff to the UK. You can check for cargo companies that people around you have used before or just chin up and use the excess baggage airport rates as long as you excess baggage is just slightly higher than the accepted kg.
But wait first o, have you weighed it to even know if you're over the baggage allowance?

Irenenwaka:


Haaaw lool mimi ikr, i have not weighed it oh i am just being discouraged by my too much stuffs i am seeing with my eyes loool....i actually also saw the fee for excess baggage on etihad's site but it seemed too expensive for me, anyways i am due to leave on saturday nd arrive heathrow on sunday 9th september.

Is this applicable to all airlines or a particular one?

Also, all milk and milk products? Meaning something like powdered Peak Milk sachet of 500g is prohibited?
