Guys I need your advise.

I received decision mail (priority service) on the 15th October, up till now I haven't received a collection mail.
The tracker shows it hasnt been "Transferred to VAC" which I find odd.

I called on the 20th, the lady says I should wait till next week, that the priority only guarantees a decision will be made within 5 working days, but doenst guarantee delivery within the time frame. Which is rubbish!

I am aware the TLS offices are closed, but something should have happened at least. Does anyone have any idea when the offices will be open?

I intend to go to the UK embassy in lagos to make complaints next week, the moment offices open.

I don't know why choosing a Uni for study in UK is hard for me. Considering the money to be invested.
I have offer for MSC mechanical engineering in

Swansea university
Northumbria university
Bournemouth university

All for 2yrs MSc. But in all, only Northumbria university is sure bcz one can join a research group of industrial placement is not found by the student . The other ones will take u to 1yr MSC in that case.

Please, anyone who can contribute in this. Which uni is better to choose. And also recommend any uni. Whose tuition is worth the standard. Pleas. I'm begging.. no time again..

Hi everyone. Are all tier4 applicants interviewed at the application center before being given visas? Cos I can see that some weren't interviewed.

I just found out that there is no more limit for postgraduate studies in the UK.
That means you can do two master programs back to back

Just thought to share

Back to back for 10yrs? That is about £100K +?

You should be working towards getting a tier2 visa after first masters to save yourself money and time

Please how do you answer the question 'do you have a place you will be staying in the UK' I intend to rent a place of my own which I obviously do not have address for at the moment. I do not if it is okay to use the school address or I should just answer No? Could someone please help me out

Until you get your own accommodation, using your school's address is your best bet. That's what i did in my own case. Afterall, your school is your visa sponsor.

Hello,

Is it right to get a shared student accommodation before getting to the UK or book a hotel for the 14 days quarantine/isolation?

Please, share your experience.

Thank you.

I wasn't implying to do masters for ten years. It could include PhD, work permit etc

For ILR, the years adds up

Good day everyone. I'll be travelling to london via British Airways tonight. Please, how much should i budget for the airport extortion? Thanks

You can budget zero. I am a frequent traveller and I have never bribed an airport official in my life. If you’re a first time traveller, just be informed about all the airport procedures and keep a straight face, so you won’t be looking and behaving like a JJC when you get to the airport. Also follow all the rules. Weigh your luggage before leaving your house and also know the things allowed in your luggage (both cabin and check-in).

This way, you can stand your ground and refuse to let anyone fleece you. Trust me, they will try, but they will leave you alone if you refuse to give them anything... as long as you actually haven’t broken any rule. If you don’t do anything that would require “abeg”, you can pass through the airport without paying a dime.

What if you have someone’s address you want to use
Do u know the legal status of the person you want to use his/her address? Is the person a friend or relative? Did u state that already in your application that u have a relative?
Try and make your application a straightforward one as much as possible. Unless absolutely necessary, limit your application details to yourself and your school. No need to invite more scrutiny than necessary.
Like i stated earlier, your school is your best contact in the UK until you secure your personal accommodation.
