I use a VPN when buying Lagos to London tickets and change my location from Nigeria to the UK.

Previously you usually get lower prices when you buy your tickets from the UK as opposed to buying from Nigeria, except that you have to pay with your card, which is no longer feasible with Nigerian cards.

In any case, prices on BA's website for 2nd week of October are down to tolerable levels ($410 for a one-way ticket to Manchester/Aberdeen, about 160k), and I just bought earlier today.

Pls can you recommend a VPN one can install?
I use windscribe but when I search, it's still same price as when the VPN is off.

Any help with this please

International passport
Photocopy of international passport
Document checklist
Print out page of uploaded documents
Appointment letter
Any receipt showing for any extra service

Flezi1:
It was used for admission. Uploaded the old copy for admission. But he requested for a new one because it was the student copy he used for admission purposes. He graduated since 2012

What was stated on the CAS? You are to upload what the school stated on the CAS which in most cases is what you used in obtaining an offer.

utaraji:
Thanks for your response.

I don't think it is self service. Because my agent asked me to go along with copies of the document that was listed in my CAS document as well as statement of account. In which case I presume that it is not self service.

You were advised earlier to ask your agent for your visa form so you can read through inorder to ensure everything is intact with the information he/she provided.
Also, ensure you are taking all the documents that need to be submitted. TB test certificate should be part of what you are to submit; cos I didn't see it as part of the documents your agent listed.

utaraji:
Hello good people of NL. I have come again ooh.

I have my biometric/interview on the 28th.

Meanwhile my visa application was made on the 3rd of September .

Here is my issue ooh: if I recall correctly the balance in my account is meant to be at least 28 days ( though mine is over 2 months now) . That is, the account should be at least 28 days old on the day the visa application was made not on the biometric/interview date.

Here is where I get confused, my agent said I should print a statement that shows the 28 days to be at least two days before my biometric/interview date.

Please is he correct or am I correct?

I am sorry for all my little troubles. Thank you all for your response.

Ensure that the bank statement shows funds held for 28 days before your online submission (the day you paid your visa and IHS fees). You can decide to extend the bank statement up to the date of your biometrics but the "28 days" must be before the online submission.

Wield:
I believe we'll get the good news this week...

Amen.

Wield:
28th ooh... nothing from UKVI. Where did you have your biometrics?

Ikeja.
Some people who did theirs on 1st September have gotten the deferred complex email.

Pls has anyone who did biometrics and interview on 28th August received any deferred complex mail or mail for 2nd interview or even collection mail?

utaraji2:
Please house I have an urgent questions.

I have managed to get my agent/sponsor into agreeing to convert my application from standard to priority.

My agent just called (through my sponsor) that if he proceeds that the original interview date will change and I may be giving a date in December.

I would like to think that this is not the case.

I had to send him the step that @mamacajah posted yesterday since he wont give me access to the application platform.

Please for those that have done it, is it through that the original interview date might change to a date in the future?

Please it is kind of urgent, my sponsor is waiting for me to confirm if I want to go through with it or not? I just want to be double sure.

Sorry if my question sound like no brainer but given my current circumstance I can't help but to ask and be double sure.

Infact once I get a feedback I will forward it to him.

Thanks for swift response.

You can simply go to TLS on your appointment day and tell them you want to pay for priority. You will use ATM card to pay.
For the Lagos centers, you can pay inside the office but I think it's different for Abuja. Someone once mentioned you have to pay to the people outside (for Abuja).

Chi360:
I don get email for pickup o!!! I paid for courier so I’ll have to wait for DHL to deliver it

Congrats. Has it been updated on the TLS tracker?

oyetunjibaba:
Okay! Thanks so much.
Do u have an idea, the 2yrs course could cost? Thks

Search "Msc Adult nursing in UK" on google, you will see different universities that offer the course. Go through their website and you will see the cost. It varies per school.

For those who may want to use Emirates airline, these are the approved clinics where your are to do the covid test.

seun4paul:
Thanking God for the testimonies and the visas approval thus far. I pray that those who did their biometric and interview as from 25th of August and beyond shall receive their own student visas promptly by God's grace. Amen in Jesus mighty name.

Amen

ChinnyCliff:
Hello everyone. Good evening. My husband just got admission in Robert Gordon University. Aberdeen. We have just one kid. Pls is advisable we apply for the visa together or he apply first. Pls I need all the guidance we need. Gurus come and help pls. Thank you all

Either way is fine. If you have the money to show maintenance fee for everyone and to make all payments(visa and IHS) then you can as well go ahead.

Praiseog:
Please, for assisted service, will my bank statement ends around the time of my appointment date for biometrics. I paid on September 7 and appointment date is Sept 24

If you paid your IHS and Visa fee on the 7th, the money must have been in your account for at least 28 days before that date. You need to show this.
You can as well print one that contains the dates between 7th and 24th but in addition to this, you must add the 28 days b4 the 7th of September.

9th August to 7th September is like 29 days.. you can decide to print from 9th August up to 24th September. It's up to you.
I hope you get my explanation

oyetunjibaba:

requirements to follow if I want to switch

Nigeria to a
Nursing degree in UK/Canada.

For UK, you can go for the 2 years pre-registration masters program which leads to registration wi th NMC UK.
Apply to schools that offer the course

toyclicks:
Do I need to worry that this is too fast? I did biometrics just this Monday. No interview

Did you pay for priority?

Sweetkid:
Good day house. 10k was added to the account of my bank statement on Wednesday, 9th September. I started counting on the 4th of September. Does this affect my count?

Is the 10k part of the money that should be in your account for the 28days count?
If yes, you have to start counting from either 9th or 10th September.
If no, then it doesn't affect your count.

You can add extra money to your account during the 28days count and can substract but it should not fall below the required money you need to present.
