Congrats.

What is the best time to apply for SEptember 2023 intake.

Apply 6months b4 your start intake because CAS is eligible for 6months I think. Courses too dey full now. So apply very early like 6months b4 your intake..

Good morning house.
Please regarding form A, which bank is the fastest? I just got an offer and deadline for initial deposit is 17th . Please helpppp.

Also just to be sure, POF is balance of my fees + living expenses for 9months right?

Thankssss

Good day everyone, I am currently doing my masters degree in the UK. I have been worked as care worker for 3 months, I have worked more than 20 hours in a week more than 4 weeks and I am planning to apply postgraduate visa but I am wondering if the visa will be granted.

Please my question is has anybody worked in the care home for more than 20 hours and was given a postgraduate visa?

Thank you.

Hope it was worth it sha?
Cos the worst that will happen is you been sent back to Nigeria, again I ask hope it was worth it breaking the 20hrs rule?

Ogbomojugun:


Sent the money to Nigeria. Changed it to USD ( via blackmarket) , deposited into someone's US $ Domiciliary Account and payment was made via the person's card.

Wow, with the current exchange rate, sending it to Nigeria will roast me.

Good morning everyone.
For our experienced Ogas in house, what is the easiest way to transfer funds from Canada to UK. My friend is having issues paying my IHS Surcharge with his Canadian bank card, I have other friends in the UK, so I am considering sending the money to them and have my friends in the Uk pay for me/

Normal international payment.

Congratulations on your offer.
I think you should be thinking of other means to pay your deposit especially with your deadline approaching because the situation surrounding form A now is a tough one even bankers are advising people to look for alternative but if you have a sure plug please pursue it.
I just pray form A will not make many to lose their admission again.

Hello

No it's not a refusal and won't need declaring


Cheers

Sunexy:

Please if one has applied for visa before but withdraws it later because it was taking too long, does it pass as visa refusal?? Will i have to declare it as a refusal??

onyiokoye:
Yes, but it’s still the same thing. You’re still going to queue

It's a big no. If its possible, you think life wouldn't be easier !!!?

@dduchess
@Gloriyah, please I need clarity on the walk in for biometric capturing. A family of 4, everyone has a date for bio. Earliest is November 20, can they all choose to walk in on 14 November ? Or the other 3 will do walk in with MA on the 20th

Hello

Study visa is point based , as long as your documents are authentic, and you meet the required points it should be fine

Please declare your refusals and the reasons in the relevant section during your application and apply normal.

Writing a cover letter to explain previous refusal is completely optional and tbh doesn't add much to your application

Cheers

Please I have a question to ask,I finished Nysc 2015 and since then I have been working in a pharmaceutical company. I got married 2018 and has 2kids now,I want to move to UK come 2024 for studies. Please how and where do I start from? I have not travelled before but I want to go first then my family will join me when am settled. Please I need an advice on where to start from. Thanks

Thanks. I've applied to 4 schools for September though I know they will only attend to me when the time for September intake is due.

Guys please I have two questions.

1. My school said they can issue my CAS without me paying the specified deposit of £1,500. Will this affect my VISA chances ?

2. My school has requested a proof of English proficiency test result before issuing CAS. Please which of these tests is easier to register, study and pass within a short time frame? IELTS, TOEFL, PTE. Sadly, my school don’t accept Duolingo anymore.

Horlamidei:
Visa Alert! Visa Alert!!

Here is my timeline:


July 23rd: Applied to Uni of Sunderland

July 26th: Got a Conditional offer

July 27th or 28th: Got a mail from the school of high volume of application. Need to be fast to meet conditions to get CAS.

Na so I begin dey ask questions for Nairaland, read and watch YouTube videos about UK visa.

1st week of August: Got conditional offer from Uni of Bedfordshire.

Now left with the option to choose between Uni of Sunderland or Bedfordshire. Na so I begin make research oh..! To avoid the long talk, I settled for Sunderland. I pray I don’t regret it. Amen!
Paid intial deposit £3,500

Part of the school conditions was POF. I begin bombard questions here on Nairaland if it’s possible to use my mom who stays in Canada with Canadian account as sponsor. All I was getting was “yes na! Yes I can!!”

September 6th: With fear, I started POF using my mom Canadian bank account. She as my sponsor. People were telling me, they might reject me that I will have high chance of approval if I use my account or still collect loan and run POF. Me wey dey manage insisted I will use her as sponsor. Nairaland wey tell me hn possible no dey lie!!

September 28th: TB test. School served me mail that Project Management is now first come first serve due to high volume of application at TB center Ikeja. I wan cry after filling school address at tb center.

October 4th: This date is the 28th day for the POF. I printed exactly on the 28th day. Immediately after print out of statement, lump sum was withdrawn way below the required funds needed for POF. After my displeasure of the transaction, the money was deposited back that same day. That was when my fear arose the more if UKVi will detect this.

October 5th: Submitted the statement for CAS. Na so school start there own with first page doesn’t carry stamp, 2nd page doesn’t carry bank logo. One of the team of Sunderland immigration compliance team had to tell me why can’t I tell my mom to send the funds to my account here to use as POF the UKVI might reject this statement. I explained if she does that, if I get to Uk, I will still need to transfer the money over there too which will spoil the money due to high exchange flunctuation. She agreed to that but still claims they can’t accept my mom statement because UKVI May reject my visa.
Then fear set in. I was like Shebi Nairaland said we can use any of the parents account regardless of the currency as sponsor.
I started pressing on them with calls. I wasted lot of cards calling. Different team were picking with different opinions.
After much pressing they forwarded it there manager. Got a mail from the manager to get bank letter of active account claiming the statement can be used.

October 6th: The bank manager no wan release bank letter claiming why can’t they accept the statement. He be like this is Canadian bank that that statement is accepted anywhere. Spoke to him on the phone with mail screenshot from the school claiming just a letter for confirmation it’s active. Canadian English different from Uk own. Ah swear I no even dey hear wetin the bank manager dey talk for phone. Had to beg him for it.
Drafted it, submitted that same day, Sunderland ImmigrationCompliance team continued with there behavior again after calls on calls. God answered my prayer when I called around 3pm, the call went straight to there manager Lynne, within 2mins she acknowledged everything with my consent letter and birth certificate. That same evening CAS dropped.

To apply for visa kan dey scare me because of the immigration compliance team thinking if they were UKVI, na straight rejection and the huge lump sum withdrawn exactly on the 28th day after the printing of POF statement.

So I open my system, used corelldraw carry the bank stamp in page 2 of my statement to the page one and logo on page 1 to page 2.

Someone dropped a quote of joining the University of Sunderland on telegram. God bless that fellow. That group has also been very very helpful.

Thanks a lot to those who take there time to respond to questions on this forum. Sometimes I come here and ask some kind funny questions. But una go still reply.

Main thing about Nairaland is don’t miss any messages on any trend or forum one is following here. I learnt a lot from questions and answers on this uk travel forum. I never miss. It made me understood everything more. People are asking me how I take do am. People call me for guidance. Some call me agent but in my mind, I no say na Nairaland.

Try and look for an earlier date(appointment) for at least one of you guys, even if you can book(reschedule) 10th of this month for one of you, the rest can walk in with him or her on that same 10th but make sure everyone of them has appointment date so that the walk in option will be possible. Note that anyone without appointment date cannot do walk in.

Thanks once again.

One of the places I worked in the past is no longer in operation but I still have my ID card as well as employment letter.

Can the ID and letter still serve as evidence for my gap year?
