@1step2right and chilez

Thanks a bunch for your replies, they have really been helpful.

I have been able to get the maintenance funds into my account today after some bank iss. so unfortunately i have to begin the 28 days count.

Kindly confirm which day would be okay to confirm my visa application and make payments.

Also i would have to use the priority service and i do not want to make a mistake, cos i read somewhere that i cannot apply for priority once i have submitted my application.

How do i go about this?

Thanks guys
Erhhh, it may not really come as an answer but ehy pay for priority when January still dey far, unless u wanna travel soon.

@justwise and co. i am applying for a UK student visa, and i was hoping you could help shed some light on how to answer some of these questions i encountered

Question 1: How long do you intend to stay in the UK
(Actually my program is 17months, but i learnt bout dis extra 4months, so i'ld like to know if my answer to the above question should be 17months or 21months)

Question 2: What is the address of where you will be staying whilst in the UK?
(According to the info i gathered, it is often cheaper to live off-campus moreso, university owned apartments seem to bind occupants to a year contract amongst other reason. so i am thinking of staying off-campus, which address do i provide to the above question, and also if asked during the interview, wah will be the most logical answer to give?)
Thanks in anticipation of your prompt response. JAHBLESS
Well, my program is for 17months too but what i wrote in answer to my question is ''throughout my studies'' and i got my 21 months visa.
2. Its best u put you school's address for the address info at least if u havent gotten a place yet off-camp.

what is d maximum POS limit for GTBank ?
D last time i called them they said its $300. But then if u havent done any transaction with ur card for the day, then u'd have a cumulative of $600 (i.e $300 from POS + $300 from web). Thats d way they explained to me. I wanted to make a payment of $875 ($471 and $506 respectiely). The first payment went sucessfully but the second $506 didnt go succesfully, so i had to pay the next day. U can call to confirm this too.

That is a different case entirely, you don't need any reference letter from Nigerian bank to open an account here. Money transfer is a different case. I guess you need to talk to your bank before leaving for the UK
Ok Sir, thanks.

@Popless Like you probably know, the rate changes daily, so the best way to get information is to call the Ecobank Contact Centre on 0700-500-0000. They work 24/7.
I called dis number but after just one ring it automatically cuts d call

@ Chilez and justwise

About wrapping up my application. Just a few more questions. Just dont want any errors.

1. I set my arrival date as 2nd January. Hope this doesnt mean i can't travel b4 that date once i get my visa?

2. There is a part on the Tier 4 section where it says " please provide details on how you have been accessed as a sponsor"

3. My elder sister is sponsoring me, would it be right to use her bann statements or do i have to move funds. Plus she is based in the uk
if u chose 2nd January as ur date of intended travel den ur Visa becomes Valid like about 2 weeks before that day. They usually issue a 30days Visa, so u gotta travel within this period to obtain ur brp with d details of ur stay in UK.
2. If u read d earlier pages of this thread u'd notice that a sponsor by the UKBA definition doesnt include any relative or family member, but government or multinational and d likes etc.
3. U cant use ur sister's bank statement. Either she transfr d money to ur accont or she transfers to ur parents account (for this option u'd need birth certificate). Sorry my reply came late

One more thing, once am done filling the application form can i save without having to make any payment immediately. Also can my elder sis make the payment on my behalf from the UK? For both Ihs and Visa

Cc Justwise
Yh you can, but as for ur sister paying d IHS n visa fee, u have to give her ur login details to make d payments,,whcih comes after signing declaration and picking an appointment date.

Good Morning Chilez, thanks for the info.

Also did you make your application via the UKBA website or TLS website. I saw the info on the IHS payment £150. Did you pay for that first before you continued your application?
Which ever one wud lead u to the Visa application platform, tho i applied thru the UKBA website. For the IHS payment wen u apply finish its in dollars that u'd pay. My course is about 17months so I had to pay like $471 for IHS n $506 for Visa.

dexdanny:
am in India presently,and for those planing to come to india for IT course,i will advice you guys to learn that in Nigeria. because here,the corruption here in india is worst than the corruption in Nigeria. they only teach basic things for Nigerian students, they hardly do practicals for foreign students. IT course here in India is just 3years,and in 2years of your study they will advice you to buy a result which is very bad. they show the real thing in IT course to india students and they mostly advice Nigerians to buy a certificate.. most Nigerian student studying IT in india are not learning the real thing they only learn the basic things.
secondly,few of India's are friendly to Nigeria they are friendly with us because they know we are rich. some Nigerians rent an apartment is some areas in 20.000 rupees which the locals can't afford.
Thirdly Indians can't offer Nigerians job,its business Nigerians here are doing which means Nigeria here are still spending Money from home or except if you're smart and have initiative,you cam get money from yahoo work..
living and feeding expenses is not really easy here in india. its easy for those that are doing business from Nigeria like sending of goods and african food stuff and yahoo work. But without that,there's no way you can make your money here in Incredible India.
This is soooo true, i can relate. My bf is currently in india for a course in IT. First, Indians are racists like he said. And also u are true on the ''most nigerians are not learning the real thing''. He also said they (the indians) feel like they wud be selling off their most priced possession if they teach foreigners the real deal. Dude is just waiting to finish and get back to Naija. embarassed

please help me.

I did a TB Test around June/ July while I was processing one school but at the end of the day something happened and I had to drop the school. so now I have a new school and I'm applying next week, is it advisable to use that same TB test been that it will expire next month?

PS: I used the other school address on it.
If its for January entry then u have to do another one, since the current TB test will expire in the next one month. And it wont be right to show an expired result per say, wen u r travelling. I stand to be corrected tho, buh if i were u i wud do another one.
