Hello Nairaland Members, If I book an appointment with TLS and It's a family that wants to go the same day, will I book the same date and time for each member or I do Flexi? And is it each family member that Will pay the Flexi or only one family member? Looking forward to a response from anyone available thank you... WOULD ALSO LIKE YOU TO EXPLAIN ON THE FLEXI IF YOU THINK I SHOULD DO THAT BECAUSE I WANT TO DO COURIER RETURN AS I WILL BE LEAVING ABUJA AFTER BIOMETRICS⚔️
Thanks

The booking is done individually but you can do biometrics same day but different times if available. Just make sure you are fast when booking for each person so you won't miss out on slots available per time per day.
U know a lot of people are on this platform making their application too

Alternatively, you can pay for walkin if any of your family's appointment date or time is far apart

Hello house...Please someone answer this

If it important to reveal your any visa refusal during PCI pre-cas interview.

Or

One should only reveal visa refusal during UKVI visa application..

Do not reveal for one and fail to reveal for the other (saying NO to one and saying YES to another - these people share info)
The choice to reveal or not to reveal is yours but ensure you have your refusal letters readily available (the school might ask to U upload)

Please at what stage will one defer an admission to the next intake
Is it after getting unconditional offer or after paying tuition deposit or when exactly?

Pay the deposit to secure your spot

UKVI does not know pinch or shoes, there are guidelines. Follow guidelines and not shoe pinching

Same reason the Op wants to do the right thing by doing a change of address but you that drafted the study route policy with UKVI knows they don't entertain shoe and pinching

ibenzerkess:
1. You have to understand that before you went to the embassy for the visa, you declared that you have the money to pay for your full tuition.
2. You and the school agreed to pay your tuition through installments. And if there are 4 installments to pay and you have defaulted on the second installment, what is the probability you can pay the rest .
3. If said the student can settle his/her debt before leaving the school or graduating. How will you do that if for a whole year you weren't about to get the fees. Remember, once you graduate you have limited number of days to stay in the UK.
4. If you think they are exploiting you cause you own £800 and got dismissed, then go to schools in Europe that are tuition free. No one is forcing any of us to go and study in the UK.

It would be a waste of my precious time to engage in conjectures. I addressed the £800 issue and it is exploitative and nothing more. Nothing is cast in stones, rules are made by humans who themselves subject it to changes every now and then.

There is a reason FAFSA is there in the US and there is a reason people on student's loan are groaning under its exploitative tendencies in the US even after graduating decades ago.

Stop defending capitalists, they won't spare you when you in their black book

Mannymanny:
What about someone who finished service 2018 but haven’t been formally employed till date but started doing MSc in 2021 but is affected by ASUU strike and wants to do another MSc in uk... how best can such person avoid nsf mails.

Get a professional CV updated to include NYSC, Biz, Online courses, Msc., etc just fill up the years with tangible things you have been doing

Tecord1:
Can I use the same POF for I and my dependant? I am asking because what i have there is enough to cover both our maintenance cost and balance if school fees

Yes you can provided you ve done your calculation and you have allowed for some margins due FX fluctuations. By the way, use Oanda rate

giselle237:
not needed. What is important it the negative result and not address:

The Op who wears the shoe knows where it pinches better than you do

swazee:
Good morning all, please i need aivice.
I have a study gap of 3 years but only 2years is accounted for in my CV. I practically spent 1 whole year waiting and hoping on Teesside university.
I left my job ending of january 2021, haven't updated my CV since applying to Teesside Uni in june 2021. they finally gave me CAS some weeks back against september 2022.

please will that 1 year gap cause any issues and what can i use to cover for it. i actually got a new job in january this year but adding it to my CV might raise brows and will be different from the one i submitted to the school which gave me CAS. Gurus please advice me. I want to do my biometrics next week.

It won't raise any eyebrows as long as you really got a new job. I mean who gets upgraded and won't want to update his or her level?

MrsLins:
Hello. I have been experiencing the online booking issue. Pls when did you go and what date were you given? I want to use this information to estimate the date I should be expecting when I go there on Monday. Also, is there something that can be done to get a close date because I’m sort of running out of time. Thanks

Go prepared (ready to pay) and very early to their office and do manual booking, you might get lucky do test same day. Even if you don't get to do the test that day, explain to whoever is booking you manually that it is urgent so as to get a closer date

Naijablackboy:
I've been waiting for them for a response to my application for over a month already.

Fresh stage I guess? They attending to May intake that's why. Keep reminding them via emails

TClassique:
Good morning everyone. I have a confused mind as to when exactly I should apply for visa. On the ukvi site, it is boldly written that applications can come 6 months before the course start date but in some other quarters, I hear three months to course start date. Which is best to go by? Dear respected ladies and gentlemen

You can apply 6 months if all the docs eap from the school) you need for visa applications are ready then

freesty:
Hi guys,
Quick one please.
I did a TB test back in December 2021 in hopes of using it to apply for Visa to study at Teesside University(Jan 2022 entry) however I couldn't proceed with that visa application because "Teesside happened to me" & I didn't receive a CAS, which resulted in my offer getting deferred. Question now is can I use the same TB cert( has Teesside University address on it) to apply for visa to study in University of Salford where I got another offer, OR I need to another TB cert that will carry University of Salford's address. In addition, does the TB cert has to be valid for when visa application is submitted or has to be valid too at point of entry?
Thanks in anticipation of responses...

If your test cert hasn't expired, you can go to their office for a reprint @ 8k with the new address of Salford Uni on it

Solatium:
That is strange,may be there is more to their case,once you have 100% attendance at lectures i don't think whatever you do with your spare time should be counted towards going against immigration rule's.

Really!
Is that your own rule?

Juice2Pac:
Hello everyone I just joined this thread, please I don’t see people talk about visa interviews, do UKVI require visa interviews or not?. I don’t know much about UK visas processing

No interviews

Ayoola003:
Hi guyz...

As a dependant, Can I apply for TB test with my expired passport while waiting for my new passport. My Spouse is the main Applicant and I'd like to book the TB test together for same day.

Yes, your new pally will show old pally's no to link the two together

okorogbo:
b]University of Gloucester want me to write another test of English language because my certificate is over 10yrs, isn't that crazy?
That length of years should even qualify me, Language wey i hear dey expire?
Straight to the trash can.
Waiting for 9 other offers [/b]

You no know say your English dey expire?

These eksploitative fifu will do anything just for the pounds. And some of my brainwashed fellows will defend their none sense that "they are expensive because them be like Ivy League of UK"

Imagine, they now have like agents running accommodation guarantors for people who can pay

stfranko2:
please how long does it take for chester university to confirm payment and send CAS after initial payment

Though, Chester uses an archaic payment channel, but shouldn't take forever to confirm. In addition to waiting for confirmation, mail them your evidence of payment ASAP.

There is a new CAS system in place (CAS Shield) where you are required to update and then upload about 3 or 4 docs (Genuine Intention form, 28 days statement, etc) before getting your CAS

Hope all this you asking isn't for May intake?

kcmontez:
Please how much is TB test for under 11 child?

Damdad:
Good evening all, please I need your advice . My name currently is Mrs Dada
(my husband is late). I am planning to go to Uk via the study route . The person I’m with at the moment with the plan to marry next month is ogundipe (surname ). Is it okay to still use Mrs dada on my international passport as I’m about to renew it ?

If you using the new name, do all you did in changing from your maiden name to Dada (affidavit, newspaper publication etc) . You should be good with all these evidences

MrsLins:
Good afternoon everyone,

Pls, can one still do walk-in for Tb test in Lagos?

You should be able to do if you get there early enough. As at early March, it was possible to do walkin

ZiggyMr:
Hi Guys,
Please like how much do i need to set aside for IHS, Visa fee and other fees minus TB test for family of 3.

Browse this site www.gov.uk it will help you a lot.
The IHS fee is dependent on your intake but so far May intake pay £705. For TB, adult is less 58k and children under 11 years is less 24k

cutebear:
Lol! My school fees for MBA is £35k. It's one of the best business schools in the UK. My friend that is in Oxford University is paying about £65k for her MBA. The career prospects and connections for going to a top UK school is worth it and top companies like Apple, Google, Amazon etc like recruiting directly from those schools. That's why we don't mind the fees because the salary benefits after graduation is enormous (including the calibre of people we will have in our class which will lead to strong industry connections).

I can't wish nothing less but good luck! On your connectingggg

ibenzerkess:
It's sad, but the reality too is that when you look at it as a whole, you might see it differently too. Imagine about 1,000 students own about £800 that means the university has lost close to £1,000,000.00 (£1M). And normally no one does business with a defaulter. That's why we all need to plan well before going which unfortunately most of us don't.

Why would a Uni lose £1m going by your calculation?
Won't the students eventually pay?
Or is anyone here advocating for free education from the Uni?
A student with £15k tuition, and owing only £800 at the end of his or her program should not withdrawn at that stage. He or she can always settle the debt b4 leaving the school or graduating.

And I'm not talking about those who didn't plan and have huge bills to settle. I'm talking about this £800 case. Simple!


It's exploitation and nothing more

hustla:
LOL

Did we all not submit PROOF OF FUNDS

What do you think POF means? That you have money naw abi no be so

?? B

Isiterere:
Are you talking from experience?
70% of tuition fee you say?

It's hearsay obviously, he just got a conditional offer himself

Blind leading the blind

Cjaylawson:
if u no wat u are doing and not living extravagantly d money u will make during ur semester break is almost enough to pay 70% of ur fee

So, according to you (still here 9ja), basing your calculation on hearsay, what would you used in paying for rent, feeding and the 50% on enrollment as soon as you arrive?
Which comes first, as soon as you arrive U.K., the semester holiday or beginning of semester?

Go ahead and do you......no be me go hearam

matthewosun:

Good Afternoon to the Gurus in house.

I got an unconditional offer to study Human Resources management (CIPD) at Aston University.

The good news is that they accept 2,000 pounds as deposit but the schools fee is 21,250 pounds which is crazily high for me. I was hoping I would get a discount from them.

Could one in the house help suggest how to get a discount from the school ?

Thanks

Run!
Run!!
Run!!!

Don't worry about discount, just run from them. £21k to do masters in HR ?

Abeg come make I run am for you just that I no go give you certificate but I go equip you with maaaad HR skills

Tueh!
None sense and Putin!

Jsaviour:
And when would that be considering I am May intake and start course date is May 9. Is there a stipulated time for issuing CAS to people? I thought it's issued once you meet the offers and pay your deposit?

Get in touch with your school ASAP, if you don't want to miss out on the May intake as you already know, there is no priority visa again o
