you made my morning.

Though on a serious note..this is not new, 2yrs ago when i visited Nigeria one immigration officer begged me for money while i was leaving Nigeria i told him that i have no cash left and he wrote his number and name at the back of my boarding pass for me to send him 'something' when i get to the UK. They go open with their begging now

lanced:
ayla1, I am the guy who is going to do another program in military science. I like that your cute Reading University certificate. I hope to hail you when I get in. It's good to know you are now in England. Do have a wonderful time there.

profibadan:
Are you the University of Reading lady?

Whatamidoinghere:

Thanks.

So, I can do the paper registration on the 25th day and when its 28th day, I can then submit online or what??

Kindly explain better, cause I don't know what you meant '' I should wait until the 28th day''

Is there anything for me to do before the 28th day, to get it started??

Sorry for the questions anyway...

Whatamidoinghere:

My question is, for example counting the 28days.

And the time left is so close to resumption and the only option is to apply early, just to be on a safe side. Suppose today is the 25th day, is it possible for me to apply today, and print out the bank statement on the 28th day?? And remember it's Super Priority Visa, which I heard it takes 2-3days

OR

If for example today is the 28th day, is it possible to print out the bank statement and apply for the visa today or must it be after the 28 days??

Justwise, I'm just confused and I need to clear this off my mind... Please, don't be upset with my questions, just need to be on a safe side.

No there is nothing that sensitive about this.

I can understand that especially when you have no other option.

Glad it turns out fine for you.

How about the passport issue? The embassy accepted it?

How did you managed to make the visa payment?

justwise:


Sorry i did not overlook your post.

1. Printing it out on the 23rd will not add up to 28days.

2. You need a passport that has at least 6months validity left on it

3. I don't know about that but if you have dollar account you can use that.

@justwise @OlowoB and other members, I'm not sure you guys remember my case. I was the one that lost my scholarship cos I cud not save enough for maintenance. Now I do and I will be travelling with my partner.

I will appreciate any advice coming from you all in order to have a successful visa application process. I started counting my 28days from 25th November. I have my CAS already.
My questions
1) Can I print the statement out on the 23rd Dec.( Pls note that my resumption date is 11th Jan 2017)

2) My partner has applied to renew his passport since a month ago at Ikoyi but they kept saying 'no booklet yet' . Can we go ahead and apply using his old passport which will expire in April 2017 while we wait for the new one?

3) Is black market the only way to pay for the visa fees & health surcharge or can you suggest any other means.

Every comment will be appreciated. MrsF, Mrs Daniel, Fizzle, Umarw, everyone!

PS: The guide and support you all give to one another on this forum is incomparable. Una too much!

Yippee
.....we eventually got the UK visa! Thank you to all nairalanders; you guys are the best!!

Bourne007:
1) Depending on when you are applying. The rule is it shouldn't be more than 31 days before your application but it's advisable to print 3-5 days before.

2) Passport has to be valid for 6 months minimum

3) A debit/credit card is required to pay online. Not sure what you mean by paying via Black Market

spikesC:


Was the maintenance complete the day you deposited it into the account?
You can't just forfeit the scholarship, you can actually defer.

mcstar:


So sorry. Maybe you should inform your school about this.

sassyboochic:

tb test is valod for six months... u might wanna go for january start and apply on time

Bourne007:
1) You both have valid travel passports so you good to apply for your visas. Once in UK, you will be issued a Residence permit card and you can always renew your passports at the naija embassy

2) Using your aunt's statement is a no no. If you have read previous comments about maintenance requirements, it clearly states that statements used must be in the main applicant's name or parents/legal guardian (with proof)

Cheers

I really appreciate your response. Thanks

Thanks for replying..and 21 days, that's the standard. i get why people say tp VI is slower than Ikeja, it took 8 days after your visa was issued while Ikeja applicants get to pick up a day after. guess that explains the 18k.

Did you wait for the teleperformance site to get updated or you just went there to pick up?

blessedfavoured:


hi when did u apply when did u get your passport back? Just trying to see if paying 18k at Ikeja is worth it seeing as it takes 5 working days.
