Justwise nd olowob can someone pay for once accomodation from the maintance fee if staying outside london or one must leave the money intact in the acc too?

chuksbenin:
Hahahahahaha! Lotto? I just checked now. The rate will come down tomorrow. It's already 431 minimum and 452 maximum. If it remains like this till 22:00 when Oanda closes for the next trading day, it will come down tomorrow. My best pick is do ur applications on Wednesday or Thursday. Just check the rate tomorrow morning and compare with today. I can bet anything that the rate will come down below 450 tomorrow. I'll prove that this is not lotto. It worked for me.

Don't mind me, you may actually be right but to convince me more, can you come online here exactly past 10pm and say for sure the exact rates it will be tomorrow on Oanda and then i will believe you totally .

The rates usually drop on tuesdays, wednesdays and thursdays except last week that the rates dropped on Monday.

chuksbenin:
Sorry bro but that's so untrue. Try it now. As a matter of fact, am on the site now. Put one pound on the left, Mark the equivalent, then put the Naira equivalent on the right, it will be less than 1 pound. Seems you've not done the experiment before. Lol

fizzile:
But wait oooo, if u put 1 pound on the left and it gives you 445naira on the right and then u reverse it and put 445naira on the left and it gives you 1pound on the right, what's the difference?

Fizzle just do it the way you have been told.

For example, you have an idea of how much exactly you have in your account for 28 days right? Type it on the left to check if it is up to the pounds Home office requires of you. That is the way to do it.

Please House

I went to Diamond Bank today to inquire about using Form A to pay my tuition.
I was told I will incur the following expenses:

1. 1% + 5% VAT of Naira equivalent.

2. $25 CBN charge

3. 5000 Naira Telex charge

Please did anyone experienced this?
Is this how its done? These charges are high. I might have to look for an alternative.

mzsI:


Fizzile, look at it this way, the buying and selling of GBP is not the same. it always costs more to buy than to sell at least by 1 naira. if you go to those northerners and you wanna buy from them they will charge u maybe 450 naira but if you wanna sell they will buy from u at maybe 448

MrsDaniels:
This wht u get oh when u ve naira on left and pounds on right. Guess what everyone is sying we shud do is put pounds to left and then Naira to right. Asked my sch international office too they said its naira to left and pounds to right. Na e i come confuse more as ve put pounds on left and naira to right.

elope:

i guess it has always been like that

fizzile:
From the pix u just uploaded, that means £1 is not even 445, cos from the picture its less than £1 pound. So how then will one know the rate the home office will use. The whole thing is just confusing. I'll still try it out anyway.

soulhighman:

Thanks. I got my decision email later today though.
But I am a bit afraid as there is a line in my email that says "If anyone contacts you advising that your application is still under consideration or that they can influence the outcome of your application in any way, they cannot - please report any such approach to VisaSheffield@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk."
Pls is it like that for everyone?

Go and collect your visa. It's like that for everyone. There just advising you against 419.

Nigerian money has turned out to be tissue paper.


***Update collected my PTA today cash, and deposited into my dorm account ( $1=n352)

chuksbenin:
This is outrageous! God save this country.

MrsDaniels:

That wouldn't work because to be able to rent outside the uni you need to sign tenancy agreement and your passport and student ID will be needed

BarryJones:

Pls what bank did you use and how long did it take you to get it?

umarwy:


First bank. I think I applied last week Tuesday or Wednesday

BarryJones:

Thanks
Please can I also pay my Tuition using First Bank Form A.?
I was planning to use Diamond Bank, but someone on this forum discouraged me, saying Diamond hasen't approved any Form A since August 4th.
Please how long will it take with First Bank? & whats the current rate.
