Hi everyone, I would like to confirm what application form I'd need, to switch from a student visa to a dependant visa. Also just to be doubly sure, can I apply from within uk? Thanks.x |

NariJJ: Hey guys, I called the British High Comission yesterday concerning my visa application and they say it's at the final stage of processing, does anyone know what happens at the final stage? They also said I should check the application center tomorrow to collect my documents but I haven't gotten any text directly from vfs center but I'm expecting it today, so do you think it is advisable for me to travel tomorrow morning to lagos if I don't get the text today? Also, as at yesterday, I emailed vfs and they said my application is undergoing verification at the visa section. what does that mean? Please let me know what you think about this and what I should do. If they say its at the final stage, then take their word for it. Also, you could try tracking online as the online status gets updated first before the sms, at least that's how it was in my case. My status changed same day i got an email from vfs saying my application was undergoing verification, so try track and be ready to go to lagos. All the best |

kunlewoye: I use a GTB Naira Mastercard as well.No chargeg over the normal 1k. The 1k is the equivalent of the 100 naira charged back home for using 'other atms'. No cap on cash back. its just what it is. Pay for your purchase normally and they may even ask u if u want a cash back, people do it all the time. so its just gonna be like you're paying, say 30 pounds for sumn worth 15 pounds but you'll get 15pounds back in change. simple. I did cash back in Nigeria once as well. No hassle, no cost. One other advantage of using your ATM card to pay is you most often get Oanda conversion rate or slightly higher which is better than the Naijja black market price which is just swell. |

holladapooo: To be honest the wait is killing. I sincerely pray you get your visa soon. Its taking so long, its probably cos of the backlog of applications, nothing else. so long as you had your 40 points, all should be well... keep calm and prepare for school |

gokeke: ur response is insultive.i av not being following this page,i just stumbled into travels for the first time yesterday,and i asked simply questions that i dont no n u are responding in that tone.its not ok. His response is actually not insultive or anything like that. Nairaland aside, its on UKBA website so u can understand why one would wonder how come you didn't find it online seeing as you wanna go study and all. Have you got anymore questions to ask? I'm sure if its not been answered before, someone would reply. Cheers |

Hi @justwise, I'm back again. Submitted on 4th of september and I expect to get my visa on 24th. I have been going over the docs I submitted in my head. I've asked this here before but just wanna confirm again cos I saw sumn in d previous thread. Paid full school fees nd had my maintenance fee complete (7200) by 1st August. Made several transactions as it was my personal acct but balance never went below 7200gbp. Printed out statement on 3rd Sepetember tho last balance showed 29th august. Still 7200gbp. Is that my closing balance? Did I fulfill the 28-days requirement? Should I have had a transaction done on 3rd september? Oh actually I did make a transaction on 3rd sept (monday) but didn't reflect on the statement. |

Donxavier: Plus while you may not gain technical skills directly relevant to your course from volunteering, you most definitely will gain interpersonal, transferable skills which are as important in uk (or anywhwere apart from nig) as gaining technical experience. Volunteering, esp for community services and all that will show the employer you take initiative, arent really about just financial gratification, are willing to work with people and building team spirit, etc. Also, they are considerably easier to get than a full time job and may make it easy to get a leg in the uk labour market. All in all like justwise said, it is very important. Goodluck! |
