@justwise or anyone who can help me, please this is urgent.

I would be traveling today and was told by a friends sister to bring some pairs of her shoes, a bag and foodstuffs. But issues have arisen because my parents think that this would cause problems at the point of entry as questions to why a boy should carry ladies accessories may arise.

Hello guys,
Great work y'all doing here
Please i need honest answers to these questions?
- Is it possible to obtain a favourable tuition payment plan from UK schools such that after the initial 50% deposit you can balance up before the expiration of that particular study year(Masters deg)

- Can the 20 hours per week assist one in meeting up with tuition balance and other expenses even though you have family in uk who is ready to accomodate you throughout period of study?

Your honest answers will be highly appreciated

You need to confirm from the school as different schools have different policies.

Some schools requires that you pay 25- 35% before CAS is given, and payment of another 25- 35% before the start of your course leaving you with the option of paying the rest during the course of your program and paid max in 3 instalments while some schools give options of paying your tuition in 5 to 9 instalments.

Working to pay for the remainder of your tuition is possible also depending on how quick you are in getting a job and the volume of money left after your initial payments.

pls after your deposit what are the next thing the school requested for to collect CAS .Thanks

Conditional offer would be given to you when u apply. Then after words you'd be told a certain amount of your tuition to get an unconditional offer and a form.

CAS would be given to you after submitting that form in which you are to answer and bank statement of 28 days.

Please @Justwise or anyone who would help me with this issue.

My visa has been issued for sometime now and I paid for courier service as the distance from my location to Lagos is much.

I haven't heard from TLS and I would like to get the number that I can directly call to lay my complaints as I have written them yesterday but it'll take 3 working days to get a response.

Hello house, mine seems strange to me

I got a msg that my BRP has been processed which means that decision was made since, I paid for courier service, yet no collection mail and DHL said my document hasn't gotten to them yet.

Please what should I do next?
Where would my document be and is there any means of contacting them since the tracker is still showing that my doc is at the DMC?

Same here, did standard since 11th Dec.

l

You did standard since 11th of December.

I did mine on the 6th of December and we still have students who did on the 2nd of December and 27th of November waiting for their passport using the standard category.

We are positive it'll come out this week though.

Spent close to 12k on calls now. The call centre agent that I spoke with today was so evil lool. She basically read all the pre-call instructions to me all over again, then offered zero help, only to tell me at the end of the call that I already had an escalation, and if she did another it'd put me at the bottom of the queue. The year is still new, if not I for use calabar juju take swear for am lol.

Have u heard anything from them? Where u able to track it?

Happy New Year house. I'm new on this platform and I plan to apply for Masters in CyberSecurity in the UK university for September admission but I will like to know if language test IELTS (Academic)/PTE is compulsory to obtain UK Tier 4 Visa. I notice each school has its own requirement as regards language and the school I'm applying to do not really needs it since you can convince them that you took you undergraduate course in English. Please, expert here kindly assist to elaborate, and if it is, which one is better to take out of ielts and pte.

Most schools in the UK accept WAEC or NECO provided you have a minimum of C5.

Now with IELT, you are to go with the academic.

Submitted biometrics Dec 2nd,via standard application, and till now no decision has been made. Called UKVI this morning and they just wasted my money giving me the usual run around, even after escalation over a week ago.

Too bad, if I knew it was going to be like this I'd have gone with the priority package. The cost isn't much of a difference compared with his standard package.

A girl who did her biometrics on the 3rd using priority just arrived in the UK on Sunday.
