Paid professional work is allowed except a few like the ones you just mentioned.

You basically generalised all professional jobs.

justwise:
I meant exactly that. Paid professional work... eg doctors, footballers etc. With student visa you can’t do paid professional work and you can’t be self employed.

You said paid professional work which I'm questioning. Probably you meant engage in 'business activities or self employed'

justwise:
20hrs when you are employed and not when you are self employed.

I did not include it, read student visa rule again.

If you are self employed how will you even prove that you only work 20hrs?

Working 20 hours is surely allowed on bolded na. On what basis have you included this?

justwise:
You can’t take paid professional work or self employed

Doesn't necessarily have to be the same as long as your statement is no more than 31 days before your application.

MsChidi:
Hey Hosey, Thank you.

Kindly clarify this too. Will the 28days statement used for CAS be the same as the one to be used for the Tier 4 visa, or would there be a need to submit a fresh statement of a 28days period for the Tier 4?

omg so greedy and exploitative to immigrants ………….

He's playing with refusal

Tier 4 Dependants cannot SWITCH to Tier 4 in the UK but can switch on any other type of visa.
He should make further inquiries

whuzmhan:
My brother inlaw is a Tier 4 dependant and he has gotten his admission for his MSC......
And i'm very certain he's not planning to come to Nigeria for his application. He plans to only make a SWITCH
I do not think she needs to travel down for her application
She should make further inquiries...........

Tier 4 to Tier 4 in-country application is definitely allowed.

Tier 4 dependant to Tier 4 requires her to leave the country and apply from naija.

LaaJiblik:
Hi STENON,
Does she really need to travel back, to apply for her own tier-4 visa?
Ordinarily, I would think she can do it in-country?

This may be like comparing apples and oranges, but I know a tier-4 student who completed an MSc, then while still in the UK, she applied for ANOTHER tier-4 in-country, without having to travel.

Maybe your friend could research and see if it’s possible?

Yes, Tier 4 students can switch to spousal at any time even before their current permission to stay in the UK expires. She doesn't have to visit naija at all to switch

Monmarri:
Hello house if one's spouse is a British citizen and lives in the UK and both partners got married in the registry in Nigeria, but due to some circumstances in applying for spouse visa,i.e the spouse visa requirements are not ready. Like fiancial requirment. However, the wife decides to apply and come to the UK as student visa studying while his spouse meets the financial requirement. if the spouse meets the spouse visa requirements, can the wife switch from student to spouse visa if she meets the requirements? Will she need to go bk to Nigeria and apply since the registry was done in Nigeria or she will apply in the uk? I will appreciate responses, advice and suggestions. Thank you all.

'Some' might not apply to his university hence him confirming with them

Simran94:
It’s like that for some schools

Don't assume splitting "pay 13500 for 2yrs course (6750 per year)" is your first year tuition fee

Cigbojugha:
It seems I misunderstood ur first response concerning the splitting pls clarify me what you really mean by the splitting.

Don't split as it doesn't work that way .. University will confirm esp on CAS what your Tuition fee for First year is.

Usually first year will be £10k+ while second year will be £1k

Cigbojugha:
Lol.

The 2nd year is for practice(internship)

For the splitting hmm I did it for people like you lol. I stated the full fees, the fee for one year and the leftover after paying initial deposit.
I wanted my question to be clear enough to avoid whoever that is helping with answer not to ask further question.

You need to confirm with the university or check their website what the actually Tuition Fee for first year of your course is. You can then know the exact amount that should be in your account. Is your 2nd year a work placement?

All this splitting you are doing ehn

Cigbojugha:
Good day Gurus in the house please I am trying to calculate my maintenance fee but it seems I am getting it wrong.
* After discount I am to pay 13500 for 2yrs course (6750 per year)
* If I pay 2000 as deposit I have 11,500 left to pay
* Location is London and 11,385 as living cost


Now what should be in my account?
Is it 11,385 + 4750 or 11,385 + 11500

Please I need clarification. thanks all

After payment

yusfaith78:
@justwise please I need urgent respond

Most students (if not all) do actually work . Not sure why you're surprised with those 2

RalphJean:
Employment letter & Tuer-4 student status?

Imagine still listening to whoever told you it's not possible.

Congrats on your offer. All the best

Mobilipia:
Msc Information technology with placement year. I got the offer in less than 24 hours, I submitted yesterday in the afternoon and my Employer said he sent my reference letter in the evening same day.

A letter from university will allow student to open any bank they desire

LagosismyHome:
Please suggestions on what bank to open account ... for those who just came. How was lack of proof of address handled

What's the reason for the rejection?

Looking at https://www.bradford.ac.uk/international/country/benin/ for example, there's an entry requirement which will be similar to other universities.

Your experience, advance diploma and bachelor degree will definitely get you an offer in one of the universities

Mobilipia:
I was rejected by Anglia Ruskin university, Northumbria and Edinburgh Nappier.Though I applied to computer science because I have advance diploma in software engineering from NIIT and bachelor degree in human Resource management from Benin republic, I have almost 5 years of work experience in software development field so seeing that gave me the confidence that my previous diploma and work experience will give me an edge.

Hearsay

Have you checked the requirements of any university to see if you meet up? Have you applied and got rejected or to supply more documents?

Mobilipia:
Pls has anyone studied in Benin republic and got an offer direct to MSc in the UK? Someone told me it'll be difficult to get a direct MSc offer with Benin republic certificate without doing a top up degree.he said they consider it as an advance diploma. Pls is it true?

Farming.. True story about Adewale farmed out to white British family and became a white skinhead lol. Never knew he had a fvcked up childhood.

Interviews are mostly for Tier 4 applicants. Visitor applicants are hardly asked

STENON:
Thanks bro. The documents was scanned and uploaded to TLS website. They are going for their interview this week. Please what are the likely questions they will be asked . It's an invitation for 6 months standard visitor visa for my mum and Dad considering I am the sponsor

LOL

Just scan and upload and you're good to go. Cheers

STENON:
lols. Even me self no understand , thou they have used intl. Passport but needed scanning and submitting this birth certificate as part of their document.

I came with it thinking they will ask of it in my school or POE as evidence of my ties with Nigeria

How come you have them here lol

If they are required docs (usually not), you can scan and upload on the portal anyways. Intl passports are preferable to these docs you mentioned

STENON:
Good morning.
Please my Parents are about submitting their visiting visa application in Nigeria and then I discovered some of their original documents like birth certificates and declaration of age are with me in UK. Please can I send the original copy to the Nigerian Embassy in London or I should just send via DHL to Nigeria so that they submit in person?

I'm done this season

The university will initially send an email to her advising that you haven't enrolled blah blah blah and that you have so so deadline before they report to UKVI

Marian007:
Thanks.
She told me she hasn’t received any letter.
I told her I will to send some money to her for enrollment.
Do you think she can still enroll?
If not, can she defer?

Take a look. Hope this helps

Gundi:
Hello guys, thank you for all your contributions.

I want to ask, what is the minimum score I need to get in IELTS, if I want to apply for Tier 2 sponsorship visa.

Thank you.

Can you share here and I will be happy to respond? Cheers

Dejavu31:
Please can I have your email address. I will have some information I will like to ask please. Thanks

Yep.. Used Lloyds Bank statements

justwise:
The UK student visa application made from Nigeria?

It shouldn't really matter foreign or local.

I 've used UK bank statements and there was no issue whatsoever.

justwise:
Student visa rules are not the same as visiting visa. You need to read and ask questions about this before going ahead, i'm yet to see any one who used foreign bank account for student visa application from Nigeria.

Admin review takes up to 28 days to get a response and January 25 is just next week. IMO this is almost impossible and probably best you defer till September.

Boldpeppy:
Hello gurus!
Please my visa was refused with the petty reason that my bank Fidelity Bank was unable to be contacted to ascertain that the funds were there for the 28 days duration.
However I was given 28 days to use Administrative review to prove that it was an error case scenario.
Please has anyone experience or encounter this before??.
I don’t know how best to go about this review. Is it contacting the bank or asking UKVI to provide the evidence of the number they called or something else Quite confused. Meanwhile the extension my school gave me ends on 25th of January.
Will be waiting for urgent answers pleeeeaaaseee.
