MrSoftlife:


It depends.
Interview can be online.

How will that be arranged? What does it depend on? I just want to know so I can tell him to be prepared is all.

Question for anyone who applied recently. Did you do the visa interview? I haven’t had anyone apply since 2016 and back then, people did interviews at the submission centre. Do they just call randomly on the phone or do they ask the person to come to the embassy?

kinkyhead:
Don't even try mentioning visa refusal to any school. They will not grant you admission. I declared mine to 6 schools I applied for, non gave me because of my refusal. I think they want a clean slate applicant. Maybe it's one of their measures to cut down number of student that will come into uk this session(my thought though). So I was advised by a guru not to declare to school but you must declare to the embassy.

Can you please name the schools so i can zero my mind for those ones and maybe start applying to new ones

damola20:



Please I will love to know more about accommodations and all …. Please you can drop your number so I can message you. If there is anyone planning to go to ARU?

Hope you got all the information you are looking for. If not, please reply with your questions.

Is it advisable to mention refusal to the school. Currently having problems with Sunderland as their reason for not offering admission is becuase of refusal. The reason for refusal was because of unaccount funds in the account. I had a sponsor and i am trying to explain to sunderland that the funds is earmarked for Tier 4 visa application fee, IHS and travel expense when they eventually give me the visa.
Thinking of applying to other schools not but not sure if it is a good idea to mention it.

Chumani:
@OP, your post made me remember when i lost my elder brother to a road accident, his bigger phone was not recovered. we called the number severally without success.

After some months, out of curiosity tried the number again, alas! it rang. i was scared when the receiver picked the call and i ended the call immediately, thinking it was a ghost.

Meanwhile, am still using his other number as my main line till date. it was my first line though.

I think the best is not to recycle the sim to avoid story that touch.

If they don't recycle numbers, they will run out at some point.

Informative post but i would like to point out somethings -

Be careful of the apps you download; The Facebook scandal I mentioned, the company involved only used info gotten by an app that used Facebook account as a log in means. 270,000 people downloaded the app in the US, but with the access to people’s account, they were able to access details of their friends and all, amounting to 50 million persons, and poof! Data was stolen.

Data was not stolen from Facebook. Saying data was stolen means Facebook servers was somehow breached (the odds for this is actually very small) and data was downloaded. That didn't happen. What happened was that people were paid to take a personality test and also gave the app developer permission to 'harvest' data from you and your friends. Facebook was involved because it's security policies allowed it. Facebook servers was not breached!!

There is nothing like absolute privacy especially when you use free service like facebook, google or Windows 10 (How does Windows 10 take your data you say, story for another day). Like my professor will say, if the service is free, you are the product.

Hoping and praying they don't do anything with your date is a very naive way of thinking about this. Not when the Data market in EU alone is worth about EUR737 billion (https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/final-results-european-data-market-study-measuring-size-and-trends-eu-data-economy).
This creates incentive for hackers to try and steal it and tech companies to demand for as much as they can hold and if you know what facebook knows about you, you go fear. Recent reports shows facebook has a metadata on phone logs and messages you send and receive if you have either the Facebook or Messenger App on your phone (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/mar/25/facebook-logs-texts-and-calls-users-find-as-they-delete-accounts-cambridge-analytica).

If you want to continue using the free services, do but put as little about yourself as you can. Google already reads your email and if you use Cortana, Microsoft already knows what you sound like so use as little as possible.
Clear your browser history and cookies often and when you not using those accounts, log out and delete cookies to prevent cross browsing tracking. If you ever wonder how you log in to Facebook or YouTube and they show you ads for something you search for 20 mins ago, that is how.
As for trucaller, just register your number on the website with a name. Besides, anyone that has your number and wants to call you probably already knows your name.

guiddoti:
On an average, you can budget between 250- 350. If you are lucky to meet Nigerians, who are ready to go on "low key", you may even get lower of this price.

Google spareroom

Wow thats is low... a place for £350 in Cambridge is next to impossible.

justwise:


There is no specific amount but you need to proof that you are financially capable to sponsor them..in this case you and your partner.

They still have to show their tie to Nigeria which bank statement and source of the money in that account is one of them

You and your partner should sponsor them jointly without mentioning who sponsors who.

Thanks. That is the other question i have. It seems easy to prove that for my mom as she is a matron and works for the lagos state government so she can submit payslips and her salary account statement. My sister is a different case entirely. She just finished University and waiting to go for NYSC. She is not employed at the moment, not married and no kids. My question is this: Should i wait for her to start NYSC so that can be her 'tie' to the country. That way, she can apply and come in the middle of the program and that way, she can get maybe a letter from her LGI (stating she is in the program, duration and permission to travel) and bank account information that shows her allowee (Is 'currently undergoing NYSC' a strong enough reason to give the ECO that she is just visiting and is going to come back). I think since i will be sponsoring the trip, it doesn't matter how much she has in the account (please correct me if i am wrong) or is there another way i can prove her ties to the country.

The application is still a couple of months away but i just want to get my bearing right and start planning.

Hello all. Abeg i kinda need help. I am presently in the UK with limited leave to remain and i want my mom and sister to come visit. i live in a big enough house and i have a job.

My question is how much do i have to make monthly to be able to sponsor the trip for both of them. If i am sponsoring the trip, do they have to provide any other financial documents from their own part? Also, is it possible for my partner to maybe sponsor my sister and i sponsor my mother if i don't make enough to sponsor both of them. If this depends on savings i have in my account, how much will i need to have saved up and be able to show in my back account that i can sponsor both of them.
Keep in mind they have never met my partner before.

SirBaro:
So in short, from what you said now, middle class income is poverty?

And by the way, the bolded is not true. Just to let you know.

My thoughts exactly. People live on far lower income and have kids and are comfortable, go on holidays and pay a nice sum into their pension pot. It is not easy anywhere but it is easier in countries like America as long as you don't live beyond your means. If you cannot afford a $400,000 house, don't buy it. If your can't afford the payment on the Mercedes, don't buy the it. It is as simple as that.

In countries like the US and UK, as long as you are not an illegal immigrant and you are not lazy, you will get by just fine. It is even better in the UK where you have the NHS and don't have to worry about sudden medical emergencies draining your finances.

If you work minimum wage, you take home after tax is around £1,071.97 (minimum wage is higher if you work in London and it is easy to find jobs that pays more than minimum wage). As a single person, you can get house share for about £350 - £400. Other biils (council tax, water, electricity, internet et. al) is probably around £100-£120. This is just the very basic example of earning the bare minimum and you will get by. I earned less while i was a student and still had enough to send the occasional 20k to my sisters back home.
As long as you stay in your lane and continue to work on yourself so you can get ahead, be prayerful and don't try to find shortcut (If you get caught, your life will never be the same again), you will be aight.

What exactly is he touring?

That place has been stagnant for almost 2 year, nothing has been done in a long while asides from the demolition about a year ago.

Why are they deliberately slowing down everything?

That road from Isale Ake to Camp/Osiele needs to be fixed, the one from Oke Lantoro to Olorunsogo roundabout too




Meanwhile check my Blog 247techblog.com for your Tech news, tips and tricks jare

Forgive me if i am wrong but is the Adatan/Isale Ake road to Camp/Osiele road not a federal road? I am not sure but i have always heard it is a federal road.

That is not for student visa and the rule hasn't changed for years.

Even if the sponsor paid the money into the applicant's account and it has been there for more than 28 days?

justwise:
[/b]

..and his chances of getting that visa is very slim.

Oh i am sorry if i gave him wrong advice. I have always known people who apply for visa and are sponsored by someone that is not parent to go to interview and say they are sponsored by someone else. If that is wrong, i am sorry and can you please explain the right way to answer the question.


**EDIT**
I answered the question under the pretext that the money is already in his account and the question was what should he say if they ask the source of the money.

No bro.. They are not concerned with how rich the person sponsoring you is (as long as they are not your parent) or where they are from. The name and address of your aunt is enough to confirm whatever information they need and they can just pick up the phone and call her if they have to (UKVI called my dad's bank and they in turn called my dad but i was using his account and not mine). As long as you have the money in your account and have the statement to prove it and it is above maintenance money + your fees. I don't think they worry about the source of money and if they asked, just tell them you aunt sent it to your because she is the one sponsoring your education... Finish!!

Hayzed212:
hello gurus in the house, pleases I need advice on this technical issue as my interview day is approaching....my intended programme is been sponsored by my mum elder sister and I have the whole money transferred into my account at ones, so I have a personal statement of account to show the ECO and also I intend to stay with her during my programme. my question is if they ask how am I paying for my living expenses and the balance of my school fee and also the source of the money, WHAT IS THE BEST ANSWER TO GIVE because its simple to the ear but technical for my mouth, as I have seen cases where applicants were given the 40 marks but still refused them based on this question..........and also the 2nd question is the issue of accommodation, can I mention her address or just say I have made an arrangement for one of the school accommodations(mentioning the name)...........please help a soul

Hmm... you can tell them the truth. Your mom's elder sister sent the money to your account so i am guessing the money covers your remaining school fees and living expenses. Just tell them you already have the money and you don't need to work. About accomodation, if your aunt's place is close to the school, you can give her address and say that is where you will be staying. If not, you can tell them you are going to her place from the airport and you will arrange to get accommodation when you get there. You should have an idea of how much accomodation cost around your school.

Tamzwillie01:

Hey good day guys. My student visa was also refused on not being a genuine student and my admin review was not successful but my school won’t issue me another CAS to apply. Please what Can I do because I am still willing to re apply and pay for super priority as well.

Is that the only thing written on your refusal letter. can you shed more light on how the application went, the interview process. Schools don't like refusals as some schools do visa-type interview and review financial statements before a CAS is issued. More information might help the people on the forum to give you help

Ugo88:
Hello house, I applied for a visa in October for. A Phd and I was refused based on the interview. I applied for an admin review and it. Was not successful. Now the school has accepted to issue me another cas but it will be for September 2018 intake. I don’t mind though, but I want to know if I should use the super priority visa since there will be no interview and also I won’t have to be in suspense waiting for my visa.

You got the interview part wrong. I don't know if Priority and Super Priority is the same but i paid for priority and was interviewed twice, one on the day i submitted and the another on the second day. Also, i think paying for priority after you have been denied a visa is like a waste of money because it will take longer becos you have been denied.

deolutolu:
Good day guys, I'm at the premilinary stage of my UK student visa application. I need to take IELTS but I need to know if the required IELTS for UKVI is the same as IELTS. Thanks

Ask you school first if IELTS is compulsory. Most times it is not. If it is, ask them if they will list the IELTS in the CAS or not. If they will (which is most times) then you have to do IELTS for UKVI as the embassy only accepts that. If they won't list it on the CAS and just say they have accessed your English Language and found it to be adequate, then you can do the normal IELTS.

In my own personal opinion, if you need to write IELTS, write the one for UKVI. That way you can use it for UK Visa purposes and don't have to worry about the fine print.

Busayosoyemi:

Yes I did thanks. I would love to have your email so i can ask you questions personally about the trip and Cambridge

Nice. I sent you a PM, i think the PM has my email in it.

1StopRudeness:
Priority visa is really fast ....atleast from my brothers application's testimony....

He submitted and did his interview on the same day the 5th of dec...
Message came in from TsL on Monday that decision has been made
And yesterday another mail for pickup...

Though the stupid boy said the interview ddnt go well at all, at all, he was just saying nonsense, so I was already getting him ready for a re-appeal or re apply, but God pass me.....the lucky dude just strolled in with a bottle of andre...

Wow, he is really lucky. I had to do a second interview for mine. i paid for priority visa and i got an email and a phone call to ask me to come for the interview the second day after i submitted and they asked me the same question. I got the visa the day after tho.

where is he headed?

Busayosoyemi:
Who's going to the uk in January. I would like to know the price of flights to the uk in early january and reliable airlines. Anyone with info on websites to check on would be appreciated

You got your visa for Anglia Ruskin already!!! I flew Emirates but i don't know how much now. Do you have a place to stay in Cambridge? School accomodation perharps??. How do you plan to get from the airport to cambridge. I suggest you get the train.. you are gonna love cambridge. It is cold at the moment so you might wanna have a jacket.

ugreat:

Highly expectant bros. Thanks in anticipation

I looked when i got home but couldn't find the course. i downloaded these two and checked it out. they will do the job and the first one has some frame works.
My advise, don't start with frameworks. learn the language first before you move on to frameworks.

Okay.
Can you reply my pm

I didn't get any PM

abdullahi45:


Thanks for your response. At home, where are you now? You left UK already.?

No, not yet. when i get annual leave and mom wants me home, then i will come home.

abdullahi45:


Okay. But when did you start counting your 28days?

Which school are you heading to?

I started counting 28 days immediately the money reflected. The day it reflected was day 1. he had under 10K in his personal account before then and he just transferred 5M (this was in 2016) which was the maintenance money at that time from his business account. I gave it 2 more days after the 28 days before he went to the bank to ask for statement.

I came here to Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge and my confirmation of Award and Transcript for a Masters Degree in ICT is waiting for me at home at the moment.

Hello Boss, I couldn't find Rob Percival video on piratebay. I love tried and proved stuffs. Do you have the video personally or any other way to get it. Got no $12 now

It don't think it says Rob Percival on the pirate bay page. I will look for it when i get home as i am at work at the moment. And yes i have tested and tried it and it was the first every web development course i took. I have not found a better one. It touches on everything, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap, PHP, the MVC model, jQuery, Wordpress, MySQL and some other stuffs i cannot remember at the moment. At the end of the course, you will be able to design a web application from scratch to finish (both front end and back end). I have the video on my udemy account but i can't download it as the download option for PC is not available

abdullahi45:


OK. I get.

What about if i start counting my 28days from the second day the money reflect in my account?

I hope their are people here who dump the whole cash in their account at once and they got no problem with it?

Thanks in anticipation

My dad dumped the money into his account at once and it didn't cause any problems for me. He transferred it from his business account tho so i don't know if that was the reason why i didnt have a problem
