Hello guys so we resumed today, applied for my visa since on the 18th of December yet to receive any mail from them, tried tracking it and its still in No 2 anyone like me here is it just peculiar to me only? Am confused

SegunWamiri:

If the 28 day fund withholding period, doesn't fall within that page, don't sweat it.

However, if it's a page somewhere in-between and it's absence would make the statements disorderly, you can attempt contacting UKVI as suggested

thank you so, i honestly don't know what to do it was the same statement i used to get my CAS i really just wish they could verify that from the school

atewogboye001:
thanks so much its quite important i found out that a sheet out my bank statement wasn't scanned

i mean a page

Abiscoco:


No, it isn't. If that thing is so important and essential to your application, you can try contacting ukvi.

thanks so much its quite important i found out that a sheet out my bank statement wasn't scanned

Hello guys is it possible to upload something after a biometric has been done, i need an urgent answer plsssss

Hello guy, can currency fluctuations affects your visa application even when you have submitted your application?

reincarnation:
Naira is 487 to a Pound.
SMH �‍♂️

i thought it's 475 on onada or am I wrong i need clarification on this house

waynee2baba:


Chill, it might get released tomorrow.

thanks bro

kode12:

Did you follow up with mails and calls? They ought to have sent it though. I mailed the school two days, a day before maintenance was due and called them immediately I uploaded, it still took like 24hrs. Before the CAS was issued. Being rush period now for January intake, it might get a bit longer.

its really pissing me off, i called and mailed. They even said that they have called d bank to verify and its genuine, so what d hell is remaining! I have to resume January 13

waynee2baba:


Check University of Lagos, they don't issue CAS

. Shiooor u should know better that not all schools in the U. K Issues CAS

Submitted my bank statement since last week Friday still hasn't received my CAS yet and am getting so fed up, should have just choosen a school that doesn't issue CAS

waynee2baba:


My Uni used 500 last month to calculate mine before issuing CAS...

really!!! I felt they make use of the current exchange rate, using 500 is so out of the equation.

Hello guys what exchange rate would be to clarify ur 28 day bank statement by the school, is it the present day exchange rate? Or the exchange rate as at the 28 day period?.

Hello guys who else is observing the currency fluctuations ish, on onada 1 pound=#467 while on Google search a pound =475 which do I follow please?

Tobexin:
you have to call their admission office informing them of your payment and once they can confirm such fee in your student account the confirmation letter will be issued instantly.

like I mailed them on Wednesday and they confirmed that I paid the money in, I then mailed them today stating I am yet to receive my confirmation letter. I was den told that they don't have my weac Result, I was shocked dou cos I submitted everything before getting my unconditional offer had to send it again dou. But would call them tomorrow

Hello guys anyone going to teeside University? If yes how long did it take you to get ur confirmation letter? Paid since Monday yet to hear from them

kode12:

I don't think that's enough time to be worried yet. Wait till the end of today or at least mid day tomorrow. You could send a mail with whatever receipt you got when you made payment, while you wait.

thank you sir

Guys I made a payment to teeside University on Monday yet I haven't received any from of acknowledgement from the University anyone facing similar problem and what's the way out?

LagosismyHome:


If you pay on Wednesday then Thursday Nov 21 becomes your day 1. ... earliest time to apply is 20th of December. Due to Christmas break if I were you I would pay for priority services , except if you want to wait for standard application

I was told by my agent that ones I pay the my school fee next week I would be able to apply first week of Dec since I have my bank statement for 28days ready. Pls how true is this!! My agent directly works with someone in the school so I want to know if this is true.

Hello guys, so I got my unconditional offer last week Wednesday but I haven't made the payment yet I plan on paying everything next week Wednesday. However I have my maintenance deposited 2weeks ago, am I on track?

Hi house been going thru this thread since page 290 . I must say I like how committed @hosey is in advising people to grab the 2 years post study Visa.
I studied in the UK (Middlesex) graduated 2018 but was sent packing immediately I felt so angry . I swore I would never consider UK as an option for masters or even settling.
Fast forward to September 2019, when Boris Johnson announced the post study Visa. On hearing the news, I first felt angry at why that strict lady called Theresa May was the prime minister at my time because I knew she did not really speak for all of the British when she said student immigrants should go home immediately after study. I know this for a fact because I did internship in a company where one of the staff told me they would love to employ international graduate trainees prior to how they did in the past to retain trainees that are successful and show hard work in the training program then would sponsor the successful trainees for tier 2 Visa.
But sadly that facility was taken from them because they can not possibly sponsor the total amount of international graduate trainees they want (companies pay an individual fee to the government for each international student they give CoS and they usually have a limit they can give out), so they look for the British or EU graduates to fill those positions whom they feel are not as hardworking, committed and determined as other international graduates.

So from someone that studied in the UK and was able to communicate with some in the professional setting, I can assure you that with the two year post study visa given, There would be lot of options open for international graduates who are smart . I would share them


Option 1
TIER 2 VISA
After studies, students would have 2 years plus the 4 months on their previous study Visa to find a job. This time is enough time to find a job that can offer them a Tier 2 Visa. During my time, I got like 4 offers from different companies in just 3 months , 3 could not sponsor my Tier 2, but one could but the time was so limited to process it (8 days before my Visa expires) . Imagine the amount of time international graduates would not have at their disposal .
Do not believe some who say getting a tier 2 job is not assured after study. As long as you play your cards right you will surely get one . In fact it is more easier to see a skilled graduate job in the UK than US . This is because most US jobs demand for experience and previous projects, but unlike the US in order to increase your chances of getting a Tier 2 job in the UK in the time period of your post study Visa., try to
1. Try to get a first class or Distinction in your degree, this would put you ahead of graduates below your classification and you will be 80% likely to get a tier 2 job before your 2 years post study runs out. Unlike Nigeria , it is quite easier and more straight forward to get a first class in Bsc or Distinction in masters

2. Do a course that is needed more in the UK. Check for courses that are needed when applying . Courses that are Computer or IT related are now at the top of the list (at least 75% likely to get a job). Other courses like Nursing, Engineering and Science.Kindly avoid courses that are not either important to the UK economy, makes you your own boss or are in high supply like Interior Design, Arts and Dance.

3. If possible try to do a PhD. Though this may not be necessary but doing a PhD in a course that is needed would surely put on the top of favoured ones by employers in the UK. But like I said before , this would not be necessary if you follow 1 and 2.


OPTION 2
WORK EXPERIENCE
As a international graduate, you will surely get work experience in your 2 years post study period which would be valued by employers in Nigeria if you eventually go back home. This experience would put you above others based in Nigeria. With a masters degree and at least 2 year British work experience, you will be able to apply EASILY for a managerial job.


OPTION 3
MARRIAGE
Marriage is another way to settle down in the UK, but sadly most international graduates who wishes to use this route have not found it easy to find a person in just 3 months as you do not expect them to make this their priority during study whether fake or real marriage.
But with 2 year post study Visa, international graduates who wishes to use this route can be able to search without haste for someone to marry (someone of their own taste) and can even start processing their marriage Visa before their post study Visa runs out .


OPTION 4
OPPORTUNITY TO MIGRATE TO OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES

When I was in the UK, the person I stayed with was on tier 2 Visa, but his wife was finding it hard to get a visa to meet him (because of some complex issues) . So he applied for an Express entry to Canada for him and his family. I must say, it was much easier for him to get the Canadian Visa than his contemporaries in Nigeria because his points were off the roof .
This is due to the facts that he
1. Had a UK masters in an IT field
2 . Had just 2 years work experience in UK.

In addition, the Canadian Express entry has a cap in each country, applicants from Nigeria would find it harder because many would be applying unlike applicants from developed countries like UK . Since the Canada Express entry was introduced to increase immigration of skilled labour, imagine how much value would be added to an application from a skilled worker based in a developed country like UK.


In conclusion this newly announced 2 years post study will make UK a preferred choice of study .
Personally I still feel Canada is better than the UK for student path to settlement, but I think UK and US are now on the same playing field and since is easier to get a UK study Visa than in the US, I would advise many to choose the UK over US by 2020.

this is very resourceful, full of information thank you so much

With regards to this issue of U. K giving 2 years post study, basically I really don't think we should give ourselves headache. Even before u finish your study alot of opportunities would be open to you, u could consider moving to another country in Europe or even the U. S or Canada. The most important thing is to make good grades in whatever program u are applying for, don't forget that the U. K education standard is highly respected all over the world. So moving to other country could be a good option

Guys am in a fixed now ND I need a reply ASAP, I wouldn't be applying for CAS till on 22 of next month. Any hope of getting d visa, Resumption is on the 20th of January.

kunlelikeme:
Hi,everyone,is it possible for someone to meet up with january intake ?I just applied for admission today.

.
Basically u aren't too late just get your account funded up starting from today den await ur offer from the University, once u get it pay ur intitial deposit, await your CAS and then make ur online application. Easy everything can be done by November

atewogboye001:
a two year masters program

Got a message from the University stating that my application is currently been reviewed and they would get back to me as soon as possible. my agent is asking me to calm! Anyone also applied for a two year masters program? Which other universities offers a two year masters program?

Simran94:
that's why

yeah I guess so, but someone I know there is telling me to relax

Simran94:
did you apply for a one year masters course or two years?

a two year masters program

Tobexin:
it a year program

year I figured out its a year program, according to a source those applying for a two year masters program haven't received their conditional admission letter from teeside yet.

Tobexin:
maybe it because of your 2:2 grade that caused it. Because I was admitted under 24hours of completion of the form. I applied myself.

But at least they should reply, so I know what to do. I can't keep waiting forever u know?

Tobexin:
i applied for MA Psychology

starting to wonder why the delay honestly, I applied for multimedia public relations had a 2:2 studied Mass communication. The only reply I got was one credibility survey thing last week Thursday ND till now no other feedback, am applying via one of their agents dou which I thought would make the whole process faster and easier. But uptill now no show begining to wonder if it was because I graduated with a 2:2. Did u do the credibility survey questions?

Tobexin:
in short I applied yesterday morning and I was given a conditional offer this afternoon. I am expected to accept the offer before 26th of November.

What exactly did u apply for if you don't mind telling me, coz I applied for a masters program on the 3 of this month and up until now I haven't gotten any response from them and am getting worried

@tobexin, how long did it take them to offer you a conditional admission letter? Are u also running a two year or a one year program?
Did you answer the credibility survey questions?
I need answers ��
