lahwummie: Hi guys, please i was completing the Study - PBS Tier 4 Student - Tier 4 (General) Student form online, and there is this section for MAIN ADDRESS AND CONTACT DETAILS OF WHERE I WILL BE STAYING WHILST IN UK. And the main issue is i planned getting an accommodation off campus when i arrive. Staffordshire university, stoke on trent. Please what am i to put in there? Thanks

chrisw29: HEllo everybody, I need some advices, I want to apply for a tier 4 visa for a postgraduate in kingston university. I am waiting for my CAS. my wife will pay for all my expenses, but on the online application you have the option of an official sponsor and parent or guardian, how can I say that it's my wife who is going to pay? I have her approval letter, our marriage certificate and her bank letter confirming that she has the required amount (20000 £). my second question is that I took my toefl test last october 25th 2013 and I haven't yet received the certificate, I just received the online results, If I apply for the visa with a print out of these online results will that be a bad point for me?

Jen1: Hey guys, been a while I was here. Seems January applications have started, what's this about toefl again, things just become more complicated by the day. Anyways wishing all the jan applicants best of luck and God speed.

bebe2: pls guys confirm,
just read dat all schools need the school fees to be paid before enrolment?

and pls how do get scholarships.? some pple here seem to have scholarships frm the school.

ochukoccna: Your university or your intended uni?
You use only the documents asked for in your CAS
BTW, seems its January entry you are coming for
Hope you are well kitted for British winter when you come

bebe2: Ok, I understand.

As for my niece, don't think the girl can even accesses a website, how can she? Dem no get for house, na public school she goo dem no get there.


I just want want some one that can guide me thru the process of getting her a student visa in the uk, as I have no clue wen it come to these matters.

mjan: Good day all,
Please I have been thinking of what to do with my remaining school fees in my account and maintenance fee. Do I have to open a domicile account though I prefer changing it in my bank (GTB) and taking it cash as am travelling since I intend paying the remaining part of my school fees immediately I get there to earn myself some percentage of the school fees which is 100k+. Please those with previous experience should kindly advise me on the best thing to do. Thank you.

JideVince: Thanks Adam,
Everything is still shapeless to me, I'm trying. To cope. Resuming late (last day of enrolment) has made it a lot harder. No accommodation yet, immediately after registration today I was taken to the classroom. Lectures 12-5pm. The lecturer told I was there but I was in a ghost mode...lol.. Cranfield University, it is. Where are you at?

JideVince: don! I'm in front of Terminal4 at heathrow right now waiting for a bus to Milton keynes. I got here around 19:20hrs last night but stayed over cos the next available bus was for 23:45 tOo late! Jen1 should still be air-bourne. The cold, though.

Ola one: You cook bucket-load of rice and keep in your freezer all week innit?
Interspersed with 1.99 chicken and chips, abi?

Try visiting a naija restaurant twice a week or cook another stew apart from your usual, tasteless 1-pound chicken. Also, don't go to your college with a recycled bottle of water in your bag every day.
Then, do the maths.

Jen1: Evening guys. I just got my visa this evening. I bless God and God bless you guys for all the help and encouragement. JideVince, DonOms(for not allowing me to trudge to Lagos out of anxiety), justwise, ur consistency is amazing.

justwise: £100 a week for how many people? What type of food will you be spending £100 a week buying? Do you shop at Harrods?

fiscalcliff: Bro no be like that
How pesin go leave Naija without warm clothing?
Hoodies, 2 jackets (no be suit own O!) and a duvet I brought along have been of great help
Should top up on them over the weekend
Hopefully, guardian09 gets the message


Sunderland dey O my bro!
Been running into more than a few blacks Nigerians here
Some we greet each other, many others especially the females you bone (actually na dem bone 1stly)
Some might ask,how do you know they are Nigerians?
Don't worry,trust me you will know a Naija when you see one
Still finding my feet here but should post in the https://www.nairaland.com/863688/nigerian-students-uk-how-survive/36 page when I'm more settled
Accommodation is my current challenge but should nail that down by tommorow latest
Public transport for here na die just like the wintry cold winds (though an indigenous classmate who came to school in 12-13°C temperature said yesterday was a sunny day
Oyino dey SMOKE Siga well well though many buildings and spaces are smoke free
The food sef na something else but discovered a Nigerian eatery near the only African food store over here (expectedly its costly though)
You also need to be fast thinking on your two feet
Even if you see someone (oyinbo) ready to answer your questions, understanding hin accent na another thing
Also zip up your wallet with extra strength super glue
If not, you go dey apply for student loan from Nigerian embassy, your school and tight fisted oyinbos with time cos its so easy to spend here, so so easy to act as a BIG BOI
So many shimmering gadgets,devices, shoes, clothes etc
Thus plan your spending

JideVince: can I book a one-way ticket?

jennyfar: Not yet, I just got in touch with the school. They said they will get back to me by the end of the day

justwise: [/b]

....and i'm guessing that your solution is to connect him to that law firm?

moufpeas: Pls I wud like to know when u tracked at this particular time and they said it was in transit ow exactly was it written?..."Processed passport is in Transit to the UK Visa Operation Center"....was it like this?...

kem000: Anyone going to middlesex university

JideVince: Yes! Don't wait! All the best.

jubel: When and where did you apply pls?

adamsjosef: I just tracked mine too...same response. Guess it'll be ready for collection at VFS soon.

MissCee: I just tracked my application. Its on transit back to vfs. Those of you still waiting could do same. Cheers.

MissCee: that's nice! Mine was at lekki on the 6th and i'm still waiting.

MissCee: The BHC seem to be taking a lot of time.. Most people that applied in Lagos late July and Early August havent gotten any word from them. The wait sucks!

adamsjosef: I recently started following this thread and all I can say is you guys are awesome. Comments have been decent and have been extremely helpful. Anyone going to University of Buckingham?

femol:
I wonder where you people get your facts from. There are statements here made out of emotions. If you care to know how MTN treats her staff, approach an authoritative source. The amount mentioned of contract staff here is misleading. Maybe there is a category of contracr staff earning that with MTN, BUT WHY DIDNT such a one declare what role he's performing.

I know what obtains because I have first hand info; d contract staff members I know wt MTN earn far above waht is being posted here.

and MTN has a robust package for its staff, good training- locally and internationally- and lots of other benefits,

So, be careful not to let your emotions becloud your thinking.
