Abudarda:
So do you mean I should ask the school if they require PoF before CAS is issued.

Yes.
I asked my school immediately I got admission and again after my deposit to be sure.

You can ask here or use the search button up. Just enter the name of the school, and travel section, it will bring up past comments on the school.
If you ask here too, People will surely guide you.

Tynnah:
Congratulation to you Amylew...may God go with you

Amen! Amen and Amen. Thank you so much. I appreciate

Abudarda:
Thanks for the reply but do know by chance if Teesside University requires PoF before CAS is issued.

They do oh. And they have deadlines so you have to watch out. For instance for September admission the deadline to show maintenance is August 2.

MissOwaa:
Hello, please how long does it take a school to acknowledge telex. I sent my telex since Thursday and no update despite calls and messages.

It depends on the school. Some acknowledge it, some don't. Some take weeks, some days. The important thing is for them to confirm that your money has been received.

Abudarda:
Please Fam, I would like to ask if someone needs a PoF before CAS is issued by the University because I noticed in some people comments on this thread that School now require PoF. I'm planning for January so I want to get my facts right.

It depends on the school.
You have to ask well so you can prepare.

Some do pre-cas interviews, some give questionnaires, some require pof, some require TB test. Some don't require anything at all except your tuition deposit.

Pls I got the email of application not being straightforward yesterday, should I expect an interview? What are the likely questions pls?

Not everyone gets interview requests. It's mainly a mail to tell you your normal processing time may be longer.

Just prepare for why you want to do the course and the relationship with your previous degree, course modules, why UK, where in UK your school is, what you do, where you intend to get money, quarantine etc.

Search for uk interview under travel section above or read some pages back for more hints. Scooby just mentioned his wife did one, but hers was 14mins. Some have had one hour sessions.

Olubukky123:
Please which school? Like their tuition fee is low, I'll like to apply to the school......my school tuition fee alone is almost £17k--LEICESTER

Some schools I know of that are cheap-Teeside
Hull.
Reasonably priced in the context of cheaper than 17k you mentioned - Hertfordshire, Sheffield Hallam, Chester, Lincoln, Wolverhampton, Bradford has 5k scholarship.

- Greenwich has 3k scholarship, Kent has 2500 but der fees are like high.
Asides from the popular schools there are so many others with scholarships too. Some for Nigerians, some half fees, some for 2:1,

I Remember that my fees for Nottingham Trent came to like 12k or 13k after 2k or 3 scholarship because of 2:1 last year though I didn't go.

Lianalexa:
Please I got July 23 this morning, TLS ikeja. And I even got a confirmation email with but my application is still saying appointment date not yet set. Has anyone experienced this? Should I rebook another appointment?

You need to really be sure pls because of time. When you connect to your tls page, it should show the date of your appointment. Even though I did walk in, my original date of appointment showed till now.

Is it possible you changed it after the confirmation mail from TLS?
You may need to book another to be sure. Or if possible, call tls or email to confirm from you.

kemkemdiva:
Pls any idea of the excet amount for visa fee and health surcharge!!! Also i want to do priority for the principal applicant,if i dont pay for my family will the treat their own normal ? Want to apply with 3 dependant and will only pay priority for principal applicant, can it fly? Pls i need answer abeg my people.

It has worked for some people and dependants get their visas at the same time as primary applicant who did priority.

However biometrics should all be done same time, meaning you may have to do walk in.
Because if the dependants submit later than you, theirs may follow standard working days.

scobyy2007:

Hello guys, Who has an Idea of a good hotel that's cheaper around Ikeja with easy access to IOM and TLS office one can Lodge.

Any suggestions..

It depends on your affordability. Google hotels in Ikeja GRA or Maryland.
I know of one presken hotel branch very close to the visa application centre.

theeladee:
Hi guys, please I need your assistance.
Is it possible to still get assisted service after you have chosen self service and submitted some documents?

Of course. Don't worry about it. Just hold your atm and the document and inform them.

Ollarh:

Hi everyone

I did my Biometrics on the 2nd of July(priority), yesterday(9th of July) was the 5th working days but I have not received any mail.

I tracked the application and it's still showing " application received by DMC"

Please has anyone experienced this before?

If it is for courier you can track with your waybill number. Tls sent me a collection mail around 5pm, there was no courier email till now but I went on my own to track it and saw that it was with dhl.

If you are collecting physically, just be patient till Monday, I am sure you will get the email then. You can also go there.

Adarayaki:
Congratulations. Very interesting testimony. Go there and prosper

All thanks to God who showed himself merciful and made all my fears groundless.
He literally made everything seamless and my fears about Oanda rising inordinately did not come to pass.
