Thanks for this information @justwise. I just checked them out and I am definitely going for the network

justwise:


Go for smarty they are very good, if you don't finish your data by the end of the month they will give you a discount in your next topup, basically you are only paying for what you used

I understand the pain of this woman, but she needs to thread with caution so as not to jeopardize the advantages this kids will have over there compared to what is obtainable here, it won't be nice for this kids to get banned from entering the UK based on if their dad lied about the consent letter.

Aphrodite007:


I thought this, because it’s hard to leave the country with kids, without consent from the second parent. And if he left without her consent, it’s in her favour as he may get banned for lying.

I have been granted too

Santa2:


thanks a bunch, whats the update on yours?

Congratulations bro

Santa2:
Visa!

Application submitted 22nd Nov 2020 (standard)
Biometric 25th Nov 2020
Decision mail 9th of Dec.
Collection mail 15th of Dec. 2020 at 11:39am (saw the mail at past 2)

It took me less than 9 mins from Ikoyi to get to TLS VI after I saw the mail (thank God the road was free)

Its funny how despite the fact that one is pretty sure that your application is solid and would come through, a part of you cant help but worry till you pick up the actual visa.

The next phase of worry is about to set in now: accomodation over there, bargain ticket, packing e.t.c

Am headed to Leeds Beckett, Had 1 US and 1 Uk denial declared.

Thanks @mimilyrics, @Lagosismyhome, @sandradee and everybody that has made this place a wealth of information and made all our application process seamless. May God bless una.

.

Congratulations to you and your family

Thank God for that ooo, so am hopeful. Am yet to get mine

Santa2:


@ adurami040517 Got my CAS last night from LBU. Received yours yet?

This is not good at all and November week days is ending next week. But is there any reason for the lateness as most schools have started issuing to their students.
Thanks for your reply

Santa2:

Wow, and they said 3-5 working days, that is not fair nah. Thank you for your response.
Can you please let me know when they release CAS to you.

msphlorah:



Well, I applied on the 5th of this month and I’m still waiting. They keep saying they are working on it and would get soon.

Good morning @Santa2, please if you are seeing this kindly reply if you have received your CAS from LBU, I want to know their turn around time to issuing CAS. Thank you

@santa2 , please have you received your CAS from LBU?

Santa2:


@horjey. When I went for my appointment on the 3rd, Some people gatecrashed, initially they were not allowed in but after the queue outside subsided they all went in( around 11'0clock), same thing the next day when I went to pick my certificate. You just have to be patient, even if the security tell you its not possible just hang around. Test was in Lagos.

Email them, they will give you a closer date, that their online no dey get close available date

LegitBoyy:
I booked my TB test online and i got Dec 31st as the only available date. My course is starting by January and I'm supposed to have applied by December 5. I don't know what to do please.

Yes they have, I was there today

olalemii:

I was about asking the same question, mailed them yesterday, no reply till this moment

Yes they have, I was there today

quille11:
Please who has any idea if IOM Ikeja have resumed operation?

Didn't pay with form A

Opp27:
Please how quickly were you successful with the payment?
Also trying to pay with form A but not yet successful

Yes January intake, well I don't know about waiting for 3 months before making payment cos nobody told me that but my payment was made this october. Maybe you should contact the person who told you that since it is now 3 months to January. I wish you all the best.

msphlorah:

Hi @Adurami040517 Pls are you for Jan 2021 intake? I’m asking because I was told to hold on as per payment until 3months to course start date and also, will nominate someone in the U.K. to pay on my behalf.

I got someone to pay for me in the uk

Santa2:


Well I guess so. Am doing data science, You? Did you pay your 50% using form A? if yes what bank and when?

Ok, thanks for your reply but I guess that is not applicable to me anymore as I have been given the 3k discount and already paid my 50%. what course are you going for?

Santa2:


Well I would say have a compelling statement of purpose. When I got the Dean scholarship (which is the extra 1k) the letter states that they were impressed by my SOP. Tie whatever experience you have that relates to your course of study (even voluntary) also if you have any professional certifications that will boost your profile, state them. I finished with a 2.2 and my WAEC which I used for english proficiency was over 20 years ago (they requested for waec scratch card though). So I believe any body can get it.

Please how can one get up to 4k scholarship with leeds Beckett, I am sure of their 3k discount
