I used 54gene as recommended by someone on this thread. Did the test friday morning, results came out Saturday morning,, thats about 24hours, I travelled Sunday night.

Thanks to everyone on this thread who asked and answered questions.

We had to pay the 210GBPs each (myself and spouse) while filling locator form. The home covid tests where delivered to our apartment before we even arrived in Sunderland. Took and posted the first yesterday being day 2. the 2nd is on day 9.

SeunOL:


Hello

Thanks very much I will contact 54 gene . Wakanow is more expensive than BA website.

cutieb:


I booked on wakanow which was cheaper from what BA offered for a family of 5

Bless you. Going there now

Jerido:


Please where did you get your facts from? Does that mean those private lab approved by the government are not real?

I got a call from my University warning me about a Lab used by 2 students who were turned back. She said one used reddington and was ok. I cant remember seeing reddington on the approved list

please guys from Lagos who recently landed what lab did you use? I heard several people have been deported because of the lab they used.

**How did you book and pay for BA flight? Agent or their site? I'm not getting the option to pay in Naira.

Guys who have travelled, what platform did you use to book for BA flight? Naira or dollars?

Been trying to book but I can only see pay in dollars.

You dont need a yellow card to travel to the UK, your child's yellow fever vaccination should normally be recorded in their vaccination card.
Take along your child's vaccination record for your GP registration.

Thank you

Pls those with kids, how and where did you get the yellow card? Or is it not needed to register my 2 yo in school?

Pls reply

Depends on the School. Most schools will verify account balance first before issuing your CAS whether or not you paid tuition.

imback:
Hi house,

When applying for CAS, do you need to show evidence of maintenance? What if you do not have the maintenance yet but have paid tuition?

please how do you get a UK number when you land? What network would you recommend?

Visa Alert!!!

Biometrics 26th January (Family of 3 Priority)
Collection mail (no decision) 2nd Febuary
Collection 3rd January

Uni of Sunderland.

on dependant's passport they wrote "restricted work No sportperson No public funds". is this normal? I translate it to mean no work in restricted occupations. Should I be worried?

yinkaorry:
I applied to University of Bolton Jan 3rd 2021 for May intake, have called severally concerning updates about my admission and they keep saying they are still handling January intake program bla bla and they will let me know if my application is successfully.pls house any uni for May 2021 intake for management courses for masters and tuition is about £10,000 and they take 30% tuition as CAS because I heard most schools take 50% as CAS.i need to apply to others schools so that this uni won’t screw me up.thanks

Flee from those people. They will waste your time. After I accepted their offer end of November 2020, it took them (8th jan) 6 weeks to send me unconditional offer with account number for deposit. Imagine calling and sending emails for school to give you details for deposit. Look for a school that will respond to you at most in 72hrs. Someone else on this thread disnt go to Bolton because of similar issues. If you have alot of time you can wait them out.

Gbolly101:

Yours? And are you staying in the school accommodation?

Data Science. But the good thing is just 3 hrs each session. So you'll have time for other things.

I'm looking for private. Have 2 dependants

Gbolly101:

Yes I have started classes too... I have classes 4 days a week !

Abeg what course?

Gbolly101:
University of Sunderland �

I'm going to Sunderland too. Did biometrics on Tuesday. You are not alone on the anxiety oo, butclasses have started so I guess we should try and study

slimdolyin:
Which school offers data science or data science with analytical for april/may in take?

Check Coventry

bamangar:
The people that have their transcript, how did they do it?
My school said they don't send transcript to people except for institutions.
I am applying for MSC in a university in UK and they said I should upload my transcript mysef. Now how do I do it since I don't have my transcript. I will also like to have my transcript for other applications.

If you work, tell them to address it to your office HR or something. Mine was addressed to a friends office as my school doesn't give students copy.

Dj2019:

Are you saying that I can use letter of language instruction from my University? My school is asking of WAEC not more than five years and my own is even more than twenty years. I am planning of writing another. You know the stress.

Send a mail to our school asking if they accept letter of language instruction in lieu of SELT. If not,

If you have a good command of English and read fast just do ielts academic computer delivered. I did with MOD at yaba. Booked on 11th dec, wrote 15th dec, results were online 17th, collected the results 18th dec. Its fast. But depends on you.

slimdolyin:
You can't pay through paga either you find someone abroad to help you, use a domicilary account card or go to center on the day of your biometric and upgrade it, they will charge you for it.

Thanks I used someone's dollar card

guys who have applied for priority this week, is the service back in VI? or only in Ikeja? I heard VI TLC is better. pls advice

I would have gone to abuja (my family lives there) but that covid test plus flight eeh.

TheGuyFromHR:


No such thing, unfortunately.
If you want sterling to spend in the UK, you get it from the black market.

God go help us lass lass.

Guys who did priority, how did you pay the fees. Still paga?

Really? was told by people who work in treasury department in charge of form A and the maintenance payments from 2 different banks. doesn't hurt to ask your bank.

dulahi770:

Lol. You are wrong bro. CBN doesn’t allocate maintenance fund for anybody. You are only entitled to school fees. Maybe when everything goes back to normal sha and our card limit increase to 3k monthly again

Samoludayo:
My good people please I need an urgent answers to the question below. Note: I have asked this question b4 but some1 here replied was pointing to the fact I haven't gotten Visa yet. Now the my ViSA is approved I still dont have answers to the questions.

QUESTIONS:
1. If 2 adults are traveling together does it mean that the maximum amount they can both hold as cash is £10,000 or each person can hold up to maximum of £10,000?

2. If I have fund in my naija account how do I have access to it in the UK since maximum foreign withdraw is $100 per months, and that wont be enough for monthly up keep.

Please quick response will be appreciated

Ask your bank about transferring your maintenance fund to you in the UK. Apparently we are entitled to the 9 months fund stated in the CAS. But not at once. And it's transferred to your UK bank account.kinda like how we pay with form A. I stand to be corrected.

Depends on the school. If Waec is more than 4 years some schools ask for letter of language instruction from your University. I ended up wrtiting IELTS academic CD because the wahala from my uni in naija and UK was too much.

Uriel12:
Good morning everyone.
I have a quick question.
Please is the IELTS examination a necessity when applying for admission?

I'm really lost here cause I don't know where to start reading from on the thread.
Everything I'm seeing is just priority.
I'd appreciate the guidance of any experienced person.

both are stated on the CAS

Dramaqueen12345:

Isn’t this information on your CAS though? I think you should check so you can fill the correct thing

yes. thanks. did it with gtbank card

Dramaqueen12345:


I just made payment yesterday. IHS was paid using my paga wallet and visa was removed from my gtb card even though I clicked on paga verve but the money was deducted from my gtb acct. Then I used my brother’s pounds debit card to pay for priority service. I hope this is helpful.

thanks alot.

Towotowo:
This happened to me yesterday, i had to move money from my zenith to uba bank and used the card to pay visa fee from paga verve.. Zenith card get wahala

awumen:
Ok
Payment goes through immediately.
Just fund your wallet for IHS,chose paga and pay, then fund your naira card for visa fee, chose paga verve and pay

IHS payment was successful, but for paga verve, im getting my the transaction exceeds my limit of 100k (zenith mastercard)

[quote author=slimdolyin post=98252486]
Don't just waste your money with blackmarket.
Sign up paga account, upgrade it but if you find it difficult mgs them on Twitter they will ask to you to send all your doc for the upgrade to there mail.
They reply fast.
Thank me later
