1. Money for your studies (a.k.a POF) must be available at all times for that purpose
2. Peradventure, you had to use part of it to offset your UK study related bills, you should have readily available necessary and acceptable proofs to present when questioned about same.
3. Funds required by you in the UK to cover some living costs should be available to you in cash, credit/debit card or your bank account (UK or Nigeria).

Mattmich:
This was what I meant o. I have become very confused regarding the whole thing. I am learning shaa.
Thank you. But I need more light on this

Exactly

justwise:
To your last statement… yes that question wasn’t genuine. You do read from a lot of people here asking that question or asking if a school ask for deposit before CAS, these are people with untouchable loans. If you have genuine money it doesn’t matter if school ask for deposit or not.

Yea makes sense but most are asking the question for obvious reasons and confusing others with genuine POF I'm sure the POE officer would be wondering how far ....well most schools advise against carrying large amounts when arriving though so may be they are right leaving it intact

mimilyrics:
Ideally, you should have it on your person/card/account or have evidence that it has gone towards your school/travel expenses just in case it is needed at the POE. I assume that that was what the poster meant when that comment was made - maybe something different was meant though.

1. How will the student pay the 50% tuition during enrollment?
2. How will the student pay for accommodation or other living expenses when they arrive UK?

Of course, a student with genuine POF would need to draw from it, convert part of it to cash before traveling or would they have to rely on the ever delaying Form A for these or depend on the N20 limit Naira MasterCard? Except I'm missing something though.

justwise:
I’m not sure I understand your explanation, apart from maybe paying school fees from Nigeria what other living expenses spending are you carrying out from Nigeria?
And what do you mean by the last line of your post?…taking fund out before the trip..

...the thing taya me

duchess90:
Hello

You know what they mean when they ask that question

But let's pretend

If they are truly using the funds for living expenses in the UK i.e accommodation they should have an evidence (rent agreement etc) to show incase that is requested for at whatever time.

If not OYO is the case

Cheers

Yea ...the other banks are greedy that's why they are not doing same. Providus owner is an oil merchant so he can afford to run things

Shezcute:
That’s why I dint use my card. Providus platinum card is equivalent to black market rate. Sometimes I think it’s even more expensive sef. Well for those that done have any choice you can go for it. The only beautiful thing is that, it’s the only bank that has that forex limit in Nigeria but it’s not cheap.

How do you leave funds intact until you get to the UK when in actual fact you are meant to use same funds for your fees and living expenses? These POF packaging thing is going to ruin us all soon if care is not taken.

Your POF is meant to fund your school fees, living cost and other expenses, please try and get funds out of it before your trip ooo!

Mattmich:
I have seen many responses from our superiors here.
L
The money should be intact until you get your visa approval. It's advisable to have it until you enter UK as it may be requested in POE

This na black market rate naaa

Chisimdili:
Guys if you want to pay for Visa and IHS With Naira card, get a Providus platinum debit card. You automatically have 3k dollars per month. I used it and I was charged at 619 Naira per dollar/pound

Ok

Hopefulxyz:
27th of June.

When did you initiate it and when were you debited? I learnt it takes between 3-4 weeks (for den church mind though)

Hopefulxyz:
Good evening good people.
I just discovered that my usable balance is lower than my book balance. For those that have gone through this process, how long does it usually take before they actually debit me?

Also discovered that they used 498.0444 Naira to 1 GBP

I am using Gtbank

Why manhandled him and thereafter call him oga

They should have allowed him remove valuables but again these church people - he may have been given time but instead went about fasting and boasting that nothing would happen to the indaboski pahooose

Your timing of application matters, possible that you applied at a time when the schools had already closed for applications or are processing those who applied before a cut off date. I would suggest you start applying for January 2023 entry cause a lot of schools are already closing that too.

You can apply to as many as possible no one is tracking multiple applications nor is there any sanctions against it

All the best.

Vullia:
I applied to 3 schools initially ,I waited for a month after which I didn't get a response ,I applied to others schools

Undergraduate studies - NO

Gentledaf:
Please someone should answer me

You just have to research dear, most have stopped though and processing for January 2023 now.

JaySterling:
Please anyone !

Ooh ok. You will get a chance to state why you were refused the visit visa then but it shouldn't be an issue for you. Also ensure you open up to your school on same if you haven't. Hiding from them is concealment of information and you should know the UKVI would have a record of your past.

Gift7428:
It was a visiting visa and the reason for refusal was absence / inadequate documentation from my school( my undergraduate studies as at that time) They stated that it didn’t look like I had the mind to return back to Nigeria as I didn’t provide enough substantial letters from my school (Not the exact words used)
I am just a little worried tho it has nothing to do with fake documents.

Was your refusal based on student visa or what? Refusal of 12 years ago shouldn't affect your chances as it is assessed on merit of your current situation except you submitted fake or unsubstantiated documents

Gift7428:
So I read somewhere that UK embassy will only hold onto your records for 10 years. After that time frame they don’t have access to that anymore. Is this true?

You guys are scaring me with this CAS issue. My visa refusal was 12 years ago. I just feel it’s been a long time and such information might not be needed.
I want to apply for CAS on Friday and I intend to declare to Swansea Uni but …

Wow ....all fingers crossed.

Mattmich:
Boss I have called them today and spent above 2k airtime.
But I will message them as you have stated.
God bless you

Specifically request them for an invoice for submission to the CBN platform for payment, they will understand.

Mattmich:
Hi everyone!
In form A application, I learned an invoice is required.
What if your school hasn't offered you an invoice?
I am asking because my school is referring me to a web page containing their payment details.
My form A application was rejected today.
Please @duchess90 and other experience bosses, what do i do?

See a psychologist please you could be heading into depression without knowing it or it seeming obvious to you.

KemeticPrince:
Hello guys!

I need an opinion on issues concerning my marriage.

I got married two years ago, although left to me i would never have gotten married but i had to as the only son of my parent.

I live separately from my wife(a house i built, while i live in a rented place) and although we live in the same state but i can't just seem to live or co-exist peacefully with any other person other than myself.

My wife has really been on my neck lately, she came to my house last week with our child and refused to go back after a week. I am tired and i just wish to be alone please.

I am not a deadbeat dad, i give her 100k every month for food and utilities.

I just want to be left alone, i don't hate her, infact i appreciate all she does but i just love doing things on my own. I'll love my family structure to be this way, i mean coming home to visit my kids(when i have more) and wife every two weeks.

Wow

You might need to discuss this with your University. A valid TB test result is usually required at the point of entry and not just for your visa application. The certificate can only vouch for your TB-free up to July 10. Please ask your university admission team about this.

dharmeelawlarh:
Good day Gurus and weldone for keeping the thread active,I have a question which goes thus pls:-
My TB test certificate will expire by July10,I have my visa already and I’m travelling by August,do I need to do another Test pls?

Different address on TB Test - yes
On visa application ....No

Gallass:
Different addresses for visa application?

Shouldn't you be reporting the guy so? Or is 17 years age of consent?

Lostchild:
THE GIST.

I have a residential neighbor. He is in his 40's while I am in my 30's. He lives upstairs, while I live downstairs. He is a banker, divorced with his first, now ex wife with two children and became single again for a long time. From our conversation, his first marriage failed due to immaturity from both side. It became very difficult for him to re-marry because he wanted a help mate. A career / business / market wise woman that will help and build his life.

He told me the problem he is facing today was as a result of his first marriage, and the ease in his life will be determine by his next marriage. He told me he will not settle for the less and I believed him.

He had a lot of conversation with me about his life, although I never told him about myself. I just gave him few advice and prayed for him not to make another bombshel of a mistake.

Someone recommend for him a very young girl which he seem to like. Paid her dowry - traditional marriage in a hurry and brought her home as married couple.

To him, he has caught a fresh young fish.

When this young woman came, he was so curious about me which I seem to understand. One day I told her not to worry if I don't give her attention or always converse with her the way she want. I made her understand I don't speak much in person unless it is very important. I did this just to put her at ease.

THE PROBLEM

The problem right now, my neighbor is having serious headache. I mean extreme headache because the girl he married is still behaving like a child.

He just realize that he has made another huge bombshell. When he first brought her home after the dowry, I myself was secretly concern because the girl was just too small and immature for him. I mean too young to be his daughter age mate.

Yesterday he was shouting and willing to lay hand on her or send her back home. He married her without courtship for the very wrong reasons below.

●He married her because she is young and innocent.
●He married her because he needed someone that will be under his total influence and control.
● He married her because of total submission from a woman.
●He married her because she has orange breast. We men like female breast too much . We just love to suck female breast and she has nice standing fan boobs.

Right now he is seeing the opposite and not the character he thought he paid for. Instead of character or fine personality, man foolishly lusted after tight vagina and hot breast.

I tried to communicate with the young babe, letting her know she need to be smart and acknowlege herself as now a married young woman. She is no longer in her parents house, but her own house.

Her response to me shows that, she is just a typical village girl who was convince into marriage by her parents. She blame her father.

I am secretly concern about her well being.

My only secret worrries right is that, her hubby should not lay hands on her, by slapping her. I don't like when a man beats a woman.

She is very young and small like that of a 17 years old girl.

MEN will always go for curves and breast and not for mature mind or character

I think the best thing would've been listen on to understand what s/he could be trying to scam you off and cut the line. That way you are able to prepare against the next call that may come in. Right now you don't know their next step.

In all you do though, do not give out your personal details on phone to anyone.

Pogracious:
Hello elders in the house,I just got a call from this number 07529328047 and on picking it says my NI has been compromised and I quickly cut the line.Please what should I do ? As I thought could be a scam.
Any advise is well appreciated.


Thanks

This is sad really. Pray Nigeria does not happen to us in Jesus Name. We struggle for virtual everything - Form A, Universities sending CAS, applying for Visa God nor go shame us

mcafeez:
Our eyes see pepper yesterday at TSL VI even with our 55pounds and 42k. Dem no gree ooo.

I was there on Monday evening and I heard a very big trouble erupted from people of Walk-In category. Throwing punches at the TSL official from the gate due to one or two arguments that has to do with written names and TSL people said they don't honor name writing, everyone should line up, people that came late hijacked the process and everything got messed up (says by the building security man I met). NO MORE WALK-IN.

Fast forward to yesterday Tuesday. I got there as early as 4am. I met a guy that I believe is smarter than me Baba u no sleep for house.
so we planned to start picking numbers instead of names. we were using number until we decided to introduce tally number and sign at the back. We were well arrange and well organized even inside rain ooo.
It was later after they had called all appointment people they announced to us that there wont be Walk-In. Make we go dey drag date online that they will open portal for some time.

Las las all of us go laugh

1. You need to check on the occupation shortage list for the UK to decide which is best to go for.
2. MSc Project Planning and Management appears more distinct compared to MSc Management ...except you read through to understand what both entails for you to make a well guided decision.
3. I would've suggested you go where you have someone to help guide you around with your family but again....that may not always be the best decision - my dear you have to decide this thing yourself.
4. You need to read up on both cities to know which one of the two would best support your husband getting a job easily.

All the best

bidemib:
Please everyone, especially people already in uk, I need help in choosing between Universty of Bradford or University of Huddersfield after receiving unconditional offers?

Bradford MSc project planning and management, 15 months, 13k+ after discount, 2k deposit, +placement.

Huddersfield MSc management, 1yr - 16k+ No discount, 5k deposit,(although, it’s not really about the money)

Which is better for a family of 4 with two babies?
Which is it easy for a dependent husband to get a job?
Which is better to meet and associate with Nigerian families?

I already have a friend attending Uni of Huddersfield, would it be better to go where I know someone?

But its not within the power of the prospective students to chose when to apply if they don't get their form A sorted out on time or the universities issuing the CAS early enough. I understand they mean well but its causing unnecessary panic.

Update

Not really. I only use it as a way out of this forex wahala

AirBay:
Are you a full time trader?

Ok

Why not email the admissions office and ask them? I'm sure they have a scholarship or discount section on their website that addresses this. Bros ...na masters you de go for and it requires research and individual learning. You need to start practicing this now. I'm sorry if I sound harsh You may not always find someone from the same school as yours or someone who has answers to all questions. We are all doing our best here.
