Try to get unconditional first

Coventry usually gives conditions and they’re usually realistic. Once you meet it, they give CAS. Different schools, different approaches

Ulster University....May intake

Congratulations

Good morning all.
I saw this somewhere & thought to share.
I know some people borrow their proof of funds but know that you might be asked for an update at any point so it’s best to keep the money in the account even till you arrive in the Uk.
Just an advice

If I could do this i would be in Australia already .
Had to abandon Deakin university offer for Uk cos I want to leave with them.

Okay. I’m guessing for personal reasons you want to leave with them. You have to weigh your options carefully. Loose your admissions or process it and push for them to join you. The decision is ultimately yours.

Danieldara011:
Av had 4 Msc offers since January for September 2021 resumption, and can't do anything about it because there's no booklets to make passports for my wife and daughter who have been captured since February.

Can't pay tuition deposit
Can't book tb test
Can't do anything
Just because there's no booklets to print passpots .

This is really sad

Do you have your own passport? You can apply for yours & you’ll work towards leaving. Hoping that by the time you’re there, they’ll be able to apply as your dependents & join you.

SholaAdeoye:
Good morning, house. Can I start the visa application process for a course that starts in September or should I wait till July/August? And if Yes, is it possible for a study visa to be granted two/three months in advance before the course date? I'm asking because the funds available is for my sister and I, and or of us needs to be done with their application process to enable the other to generate a POF as well. Your replies will be gladly appreciated.

Yes you can start your application now if you have your CAS & all other required documents. The visa would be issued if no issues and the earliest entry date into the Uk will be stated. So you can definitely apply for your visa even up to 6 months before your start date as stated on the Uk Gov site.

The way the exchange rate skyrocketed since Wednesday is alarming.

Today's rate is 572.606

Yes…. It’s advisable to buff up your money with 750k to 1 million extra if you can. It allows a long rope for these sudden changes… so you don’t have to keep counting again.

canadaishome:
Coventry is not in London ooo

I believe he or she meant to say the London campus. They have a London campus which is where I also have been admitted to; but yeah… Coventry isn’t in London.

Bukunmi93:
Sigh!
1) I just got the Tb test booked, although it is now for 15th of June, can I crassgate with my spouse who has already booked for 11th of May?

2) There is this thing that's making me worried, I once applied for Canadian student permit via an agency (EWC), they said it was compulsory to have travel history and they collected my passport to have it stamped (I was still very naive and they looked like they knew what they were doing), should I continue with this passport or just get a new one?

I’ll advise that you ditch that passport. It’s a very dangerous game if you’re caught.

Dietminute:
Please who has information about uni bolton?
I want to know about student jobs and cost of living around there! ?

Abeg make i speak am for pidgin.. Who get answer make e help

I don’t know much about the uni but Bolton is a really layed back town & as you’ll expect, not a lot of jobs in comparison to the people . It’s only about 30 mins to Manchester (central areas) though so many people I know that live there work in Manchester so you’re still good.

hapiaka:
Pls i am tring to do Tb test registration,but at the final stage they platform.is not sending confirmation mail to me, i have tried it 4 times using different browser but same issue... Any help?

Yes! This happened to me. Call them tomorrow to explain the issue & they’ll ask you to Send them an email & book via email.

caleb00:
Does that incur more cost and is the process any different normal visa application process

Kindly check for recent updates but because of the Brexit issue, as at 10 days ago, you’ll need to have a transit visa for Amsterdam even if you’re not going out of the airport. It can be done easily as it’s an e-visa but yes it does incur more cost.

caleb00:
Good day I’d like to pay my tuition while in Nigeria through form a, I’d like to know which bank pays faster.


Also has anyone used KLM/airfrance to get to London since brexit, is there any difference. Thanks

Even if you’re not staying. You’ll need the transit visa last I checked.

Exoticmm:
Okay, thank youu. Will wait for a month then.
Sorrry one last question please, how long after the unconditional offer did they give you CAS? And was statement of account (full year tuition and maintenance funds) a condition for CAS?

I’m currently counting my 28 days towards my statement of account as POF to get my CAS. Yes the statement of account is definitely a condition for CAS. I’ll submit mine in a few days & let you know.

Cyberknight:
Usually takes a couple of hours, you should be out by noon at worst.

More like he or she will be done by 1:00/1:30pm! I can almost bet lol.

They tell you to prepare to be at IOM for you to 6 hours so please prepare.

Exoticmm:
Hi, I just applied to Coventry Uni(not London) on Friday, please how long after your application did they respond to you? I’m looking at January 2022, but I’m just curious

Hiya! In terms of correspondence, Coventry can be slow but give them 3-5 weeks especially because you’re for January 2022. You can call them if you’re don’t hear back in 3/4 weeks.

BELUSHI:
Good morning. I am about submitting my uk visa application. I want to confirm if it's not an issue chosen priority at this time for September intake.

You don’t need to waste money choosing priority. Just choose standard.

sammyoo:
Please, is there problem with IOM Ikeja website? I have been strugling to book TB test for my dependants for like 2 days now without success.

Anyone that book for the Test recently should please share the link.

Thanks

Call them, they’ll help you book via email.

quille11:
Hello peeps,

Is it ok to travel to the UK via KLM airline? Hope the stopover at AMS will not require another of COVID-19 testing? Thanks

As at last week, to board a KLM flight, you’ll need an E visa (& I think with that you’ll also be required a purchase of a covid travel insurance for Amsterdam)even if you’re not leaving the airport. Brexit wahala

FieryJoe:
Urgent Pls! I checked on IOM Ikeja for TB test and the next available date is too far ahead. Is there other center you can suggest pleaseeeeeee!

IOM ABUJA. I advice people to try and book TB test 1 month before it’s needed. It does get busy.

Obehi44:
Good day everyone, I have a few concern.
Admission to Coventry University, paid(4k) part of the tuition as requested, submitted bank statement for CAS, but its taking them almost forever to give CAS. I am getting worried. Is there someone here that is in Coventry or that is going there and has gotten CAS from them? Please what is the process or how did yours go or that of anyone you know?

Hi
Coventry doesn’t issue CAS till may/June for September but if you disturb them, they’ll answer you eventually. I’m going there but London campus.

BigDickhead1:
Ok somebody told me the first bank is very slow, might take months to process

Possibly. I got favoured cos it took me just 10 days... that’s about 6-7 business days more like.

Kenny1111111:
Good morning everyone, please I’m about to go for my TB test but I found out I’m pregnant. Will this affect my visa application? Thanks

To the best of my knowledge, it shouldn’t but they’ll also ask you during your TB test. Be sure to disclose for the safety of your baby.

BigDickhead1:
What bank did you use?

First bank

Jafaar:
Ok then,can I arrive like 2 weeks late after resumption ?,please if you have done so indicate

The school might & should have room for late resumption especially if it’s due to visa delays. Ensure it’s 28 days then maybe do the super priority visa which ideally is just 24hours but might be longer.

Speak to your schools visa team for advice.

Jafaar:
I mean a proof of fund of at least 28 days is required,now am expecting like 15 million naira 20 days to my school resumption date.
I will use express Visa,so my proof of funds won't reach 28 days,so in order to start school on time I want to pay for the accommodation and school fees.now my main question is can I show this at the embassy as proof of funds with like a 4 million naira 28 days bank statement?

Definitely cannot work.
Should you use the super priority visa, you’ll still need to hold your funds for 28days at least.
