I tried doing that. I’m just seeing a site to pay for an extra luggage. But I don’t want to carry an extra luggage, I’ve got two already. I guess I’d have to wait till it’s weighed at the airport to know how many kgs it’s overweighed by. Or does the extra luggage payment cover the overweighted luggage?

Me yea luggage is overweight payment basically allows you carry 32kg x 2 instead of 23kg x 2

ZabethMay:
Also, any idea on how much it costs if your luggage exceeds the required kg. Emirates allows two 23kg bags. What if each bag exceeds 23kg, any idea how much the overweight would cost?

52$ per kg. You should have paid extra luggage online it’d be cheaper there. If you are signed in on mobile I think you can still do that now if you’re flight is in the evening

bucade11:
They wrote letter G instead of figure zero (0)

That’s negligible if you need to travel urgently. Tell home office when you land there. Not here. Cause they might ask you to return the passport for correction and who knows how long that will take.

gbadebs06:
Hi guys, My passport is to be delivered on Monday, I didn't get a BRP email, I'm scared and anxious, is it a must I get the email if I have been granted VISA?

No! Got my visa weeks ago and still haven’t got the bro mail yet

bucade11:
‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

My advice would be to act like you didn’t see it. Lol. As long as you have the visa on there and the confirmation letter. I doubt they scrutinize it that much and even if they do you can tell them you’re just seeing it. If they call home office they can sort it out.

It’s not the whole thing that’s wrong abi? They just made a mistake with one number/alphabet? If it the whole thing then hit them up please

Femi0078:
I got my VISA today ooo.
Does anyone has a room for rent in Salford or where I can stay for the 2 weeks quarantine. Please I'm flying next week. Please dm if you have any. I'm begging.. All the agent I'm saw online are requesting for deposit first before my arrival and I can't risk that. Please help a brother.

You have to fam. It’s a sacrifice to make. It’s the same way someone might not want to risk letting you stay with them for two weeks . . Anyways congrats on the visa. . . You going uni if Salford too?

Backcheck:


Sorry sorry 9th! A Wednesday
Standard Ikeja.


And I noticed something, if you received a mail for pick up check the reference

Ref: GWFO........ you’ve been granted

Ref: GWFX........ you’ve been Rejected.

I need more people to verify the above.

I doubt that. Ref is given before you even attend biometrics and it already has the O

Ohh nice , 3rd Salford stud

Hello everyone

So I have compiled most of all the interview questions that folks have been having here, also I added those I got from youtube vids and some other ones that some friends sent to me esp their own personal phone interview

NB: The last 40 questions thereabout were some ppl's phone interview.

I could have added some recorded live interview( I have one 40mins) but it seems NL is not allowing me

To the Aug 25- Sept 3 ppl still waiting for decision, I pray good news comes speedily.

Good luck people.

Salford and Manchester folks, Abeg holla!!!

Thought you disappeared already. How far? Send a mail yeah

solarinde:
Hi all, please who knows if people travelling to the UK can quarantine with those who are in the UK? Thanks

You can

Wales1111:
anyone with an answer to my question about covid 19 test for Turkish airline cos I want to book it. it's the flight going to Birmingham

You dont

olaypappy:
Does anyone have an idea how much pounds is at GTB(PTA)?

GTBank said they don’t do currently when I went but UBA does. The only thing is you need to come with a return ticket (which most students do not have)

Kinkwin:


My CAS was very late , came almost 3 weeks and half, so I decided to print a fresh bank statement to be on the safe side and I stupidly did not put my dates backward when printing , I should have printed from August 5th or 6th

No need they can confirm all these from the bank if they have an issue with it

Bashybabe2020:


I’ve been getting emails to enroll but I can’t enrol or do anything until I confirm my visa.

You actually can. If it’s anything like my school that is. On the registration site there’s a space you can let them know you’re awaiting decision that you’ve applied. They’d confirm your application at UKVI and let you continue your registration.Worst case scenario I’d have withdrawn if it was rejected and I’d be refunded. The school knows all of this. So enroll. Have fun with it. I did my ID and registered for the session before visa came in.

toyclicks:
It banned me for 24hrs last week

Yo bro, what’s good. Have you started your induction yet

Bashybabe2020:


I’m not very excited I’m just extremely anxious and trying to deal with the anxiety how I can tricking my mind works I think

Try attending induction week for your school and registration if that’s started already. I used it to pass time till my visa came

Kinkwin:
Hi just wise and everyone

I did a walk in September 8th at Ikeja centre and I am tracking it and it’s still at DMC. I am going for MSC at Middlesex university and I just got an email from the school visa compliance officer quoting this :

“ Following up on the CAS letter that we issued for you to study the programme, we would like to get an update on your recent Tier 4 (General) student visa application.

Our records show that the decision has been made on your visa application and you are one step closer to starting your degree. This is great!

If you have already received your visa from the embassy confirming your visa application was successful, please let us know and I will update your records. This will help with your induction later in September.

If you received a visa refusal, please inform us as a matter of urgency! It is very important that we are aware of this and can advise you on your next steps. In order to help you with the next steps, we need to see a copy of your visa refusal letter. Please don’t forget to attach when you email us back.


My question here is that do the UKVI tell the school when a decision is made ? Or it’s a generic email even if you were given the visa or refused the visa.

Thank you all for your contribution.

They do but they do not tell them if it’s a yes or no straight out but it is inferred sometimes through tone.

Go to a teaching hospital in your state ask of Ncdc arm do a test there you will be issued a certificate, price varies depending on the location you are in, I did mine for 30k. Do the test after you book your flight. It should not exceed 72hours to your time or day of departure so you dont get turned back. After 72hours it's considered by them to be expired, Without it emirates wont let you board. Ethiopian airlines declare theirs 96hours for expiration. If you choose to go with Turkish and want lesser prices for flight move the date forward by 2weeks from today you will see lesser prices. If you book very very early you can get it less with economy but the closer the day to your set date of departure the more expensive it will become. I wish you sucess in making the right decision that will favour you.

Emirates is 96hrs also

BelleJay:
I think it depends on the date you want to travel. I just checked. The fare for the date I put in is approximately N252,000

Emirates has some close dates for this too but you’d do covid test

Labs for test if using Emirates

Skymoore1004:
Immigration does not always have time to call your invitee and that’s what I was trying to tell one fella here last week. They generally do not have time to be making phone calls for visit visa invitation. You should have provided more documents such as birth certificates (you both), family photos, phone conversations or text messages affirming your visit, and other supporting documents.

Also submitting a bank statement without or few deposits from your company account is a red flag.
Anyway no biggie, just reorganise yourself and reapply sometime later. Do not reapply immediately because it could suggest desperation.

All the best

You’ve said all I was going to say while I was reading his story. Re organize your documents. Your brother should provide his bank statements, receipts for bills etc in the uk. . . Maybe add pictures of you both and the likes to show that you actually know each other. Then sort your statement out

Rheminix:
congrats, pls which airline will u book ur flights from.

Emirates has 20th of the month at 253k for anyone who wants to book. You’d do covid test sha

ZabethMay:
Good evening all.
Please has anyone done the covid-19 test in any of the general hospitals listed? Like LUTH or NCDC medical center?

Any idea on the process and how much they charge?

It’s better to go to private. . It’s all the same price everywhere but at least you’d be sure of your early result in private. . . 50,400

Biko, what airline are you guys using?

British Airways is available for September but it's quite expensive

Air France closest date is October 19 (classes starts 28th September for me)

Turkish airline is not reliable (at least from what I gathered here)

Anyone with any lead shld please suggest. Biko.

Emirates but you’d have to do the test
