Pls how long does it take with priority service.

chiinj:
Good evening house, please has anyone used UBA to pay for their visa application fees? If yes, how did you get your secure code and did the new CBN limit affect you?

bidosko:
Surfing for suitable and affordable flights from Lagos to heathrow. Any idea pls

MrMarcus:
VISA ISSUED!!!
Thanks to all for the wise counsel.

THE THINGS I learnt.

*Submitted application online on 20/07/15 (Salah public holiday) V.I VAC (church gate)
*Booked interview date on 21/07/15 (The next working day).
*Visa Received in Sheffield 22/07/15 via mail confirmation of receipt.
*Decision mail sent on Sunday 02/08/15 (which obviously isn't a working day so I assume decision was actually made on Friday 31/07/15)
*Total number of working days application lasted *9days*

Findings!!!
Ikeja fast visa processing to me is just a fluke.
if everyone thinks its fast and moves there just to get it fast V.I VAC thus becomes scanty with less application. would UK Sheffield abandon all applications just for Ikeja Centre ?? BIG NO. rather they only give priority to priority visa applications as stated on there web.

**My advice, pay for priority visa application if truly you want it faster rather than think that applying at Ikeja VAC would guarantee that cos it surely don't.

Reason: Teleperformance don't have any proven influence on visa application, submission or decision they are only a medium for applications and collection. "A legal UK VISA Agent"

For Example. I got mail of my visa being received at Sheffield from Sheffield Centre but teleperformance informed me after 24hours.
Decision mail was sent by teleperformance after I already received it from Sheffield UK 3days earlier. Thus, They only have information probably after the applicant had received such.

ON FOREX.
I bring Good news.
The CBN has relaxed its restrictions on issuance of PTA (Pocket Travel Allowance) hence you don't need to buy your foriegn currency from BDC at least for $4,000 equivalent.
However , don't bother using GTB as you would be disappointed as I was when I visited there overall head office in V.I Lagos.
I finally used FirstBank Marina Lagos.

REQUIREMENT: visa page of passport and flight ticket (return).. sometimes admission letter for tier4 visa.

FLIGHT BOOKINGS:
WAKANOW.COM: They did a good job in placing my bookings tho the customer care finished my airtime before attending to my call. However press 2 which is for reservations rather than 7 which is enquiry (That way they know its biznes) or transferring to an agent just like calling 180 on MTN.

I saved #210,000 with my idea of getting to London first then to Aberdeen via sleeper train...Tho sleeper train is same cost with flight £80. but for my luggage.

I hope someone finds this tips helpful.

Thanks.

finally completed my application and booked an appointment for 21st Aug. although I had to pay twice for IHS. I'll apply for a refund. for those planning to apply soon, I advise that you apply soonest. when I applied, the earliest date available for booking was two weeks ahead. so I advise that you apply in good time.

Just for the records, does this scholarship apply to 2 year MSc courses too?

Obiwannn:
OK, I get u. Lets look at if from another angle. What if a person who wins the scholarship has already traveled out to commence studies. What becomes of a situation like this?

I am not saying there is no hope, that is why I used "May" in my comment. I have only stated that one cannot keep waiting for them and in the end get disappointed. No body is even sure of clinching it with the number of slots available.

However, If you want to pause your life because of Mobil, that is up to you.
Congratulations on your AGIP feat.

I wish you every success in your endeavors.

E383:
From all indications, EXXON MOBIL May not hold this test this year. . Sadly, that is the truth. I hope they manage at least to hold a Local Scholarship Scheme.
Please, if you can, secure a local admission somewhere while you wait for this. One cannot afford to pause his/her life because of this. Life is moving too fast, if you keep waiting, it wont be long now you will become irrelevant and begin to wonder how you got here.
Please, let us all have a backup plan. #MyFiveBillion
