Hello,

If the person worked with a company for only 1year what happens to the rest of 6 year gap?
Well thats not what you said , you said ‘Does your current employment cover all 7years?
If it doesn't you might need to get from previous employer’ which is wrong . The reference doesn’t need to cover the full 7 years

If he worked for only 1 year, then yes he should get a reference to cover for atleast the previous 3years .

Hello @Mrguobadia

Does your current employment cover all 7years?

If it doesn't you might need to get from previous employer

Cheers
You don’t need employment reference to cover for the full 7 years study gap. Current one is sufficient, moreover evidence of study gap is only needed after 5 years ( ukvi website)

When you fill in your referees details and also upload reference letterhead from your university signed , will the school still contact your referee?
Been thinking if the schools I applied to contacted my lecturers, these old prof don’t open their work emails often & also ASUU is on strike

Exchange rate ft Time value of money will disagree with this.
Save in dorm account. Follow your uni instruction on the deposit amount.majority did so.
In a scenario where you’ll need to engage the school on refunds( God forbids it happens). Based on their policy you’re more than likely to lose the 1500 extra.
You can always pay higher before enrollment , or talk to your uni about paying extra deposit first ..but up to you

I agree with you.
My school is asking for 2k pounds deposit but I want to pay 3k5 pounds. The more fees I'm able to pay here in Nigeria, the easier it is for me when I eventually travel.
Jejely pay your 2k deposit you were asked to , when you apply or get your visa you stil have plenty of time to pay extra fees before you leave Nigeria. Leave the excess cash in your account first

As a Londoner, I’ve seen a lot of people avoiding London saying its cost of living is very high. This is true but you’re also going to get more job opportunities in London including a possible switch to tier 2 visa than other parts of the U.K.. So my advise is if you can afford any uni in London then go for it.
I disagree, way better to school in outer parts of London , as a newbie /student it is advisable to stay in areas with low cost of living first, you can always move after your study year( PSW) . As you’ll be able to work more than 20hrs a week & afford such standard of living .

You can download barter by flutter. Get a virtual dollar card, fund it through your naira account and pay for your IHS and visa with it. I paid mine with it two days ago and it was very easy and fast. The rate they gave me is even cheaper than what Mallams gave me. Their rate was 606 as at two days ago while Mallams told me 610.
And it went through successfully? Been skeptical about it though
& can you fund the card & pay same day ?

Please house I need to restrategize.
I got a rejection from Anglia Ruskin University and Bournemouth University sent a mail to my references late.
Now I have to wait on eight (cool other universities which doesn't seem tenable for September entry.
What can I do please?
I applied for MSc Accounting for all ten, although I've been doing more of Sales and Business Development for the past 4 years now.
What course would most likely sell me easily and warm the heart of these schools to me considering my 15+ years study gap (First degree) except for PDGM and MBA which I cannot present for admission?
What’s your qualifications? What did you study undergraduate

I'm the applicant with a family of 5 (husband & kids), is it a must we pay for their UWE arranged accommodation?, if Yes, can we pay for just a month or 2 for us to settle

Somebody should please respond. Thanks.

My question is, should i disclose this as a study gap by submitting my admission letter and academic reference during My Visa application for the study gap? wont it have any effect on my application for not completing it or being asked to provide the qualification which am yet to get?
Study gap is after 5 years. Submit your BSc & nysc certificate you’re good to go

Hello nairalanders

I just want to say that this forum is very informative. I got offers from the following university:
Coventry university
Northumbria university
Manchester Metropolitan University
Robert Gordon University..

I decided to go for RGU offer because of obvious reasons. RGU gave a conditional offer.
The conditions are easy except I am expected to deposit 34% of the tuition.

My questions are:
Do I need unconditional offer before the deposit or after ?
Is there anyone that has the problem to advise me on the best course of action?
Is there any WhatsApp group for RGU September 2022?

Thanks
You just stated the conditions is inclusive of deposit 34%.
Go ahead & fulfill all the conditions stated on your letter to proceed to the next step( unconditional)

Good morning gurus in the hux,

I got a email that my application has been submitted since match then another mail to submit transcript since 9th April but up till now no admission yet. Should I be worried?

Can I send an email directly to the school asking for status of my admission tho I am not the one that applied, I used an agent which he said they have sent a mail to the school but no decision has been made yet. School; RGU. Msc, I'm using hnd with 3yrs work experience
My candid advice, I wish someone had told me earlier. Tell your agent to give you access to your login details, some agents are not just it. Applications are case sensitive. When you have access, scrutinize your applications-emails/ portal. Resend the email to RGU
Then also apply to more schools yourself! that accept hnd. This will be for January as you might be to late for September now.

How then can I cover for the attendant huge study gap? First degree since 2012.
I don’t know, just stating the obvious. You can’t declare phd & going for another MSc

Your best bet will be to go for postgraduate research courses

Good afternoon everyone. Please I need sound advise. I have a bachelor degree dated 2012. A masters dated 2014. Same course. Currently undergoing my PHD which I started since 2019. Same course. But for ASUU strike, I would have my PHD certificate at hand now. Now, I want to apply for a masters degree (very close course to the one I did for my Nigerian masters) in the UK. Hope that won't affect?

And again, is my PHD admission letter enough to serve as proof of PHD? I could add my first year and second year PHD results too. Will that suffice? Even though I intend to write a cover letter stating why I strongly believe going to the UK to obtain a masters degree in the same course would be so beneficial and prospects filled.
Use your BSc certificate only. Although a strong personal Statement might be only to convince your school of choice but to be on the safer side, During your visa process, Uk visas & immigration might question your genuine intent to actually study in the Uk….If you have masters & PhD already why another masters?? Honestly speaking there’s no need to declare your masters & PhD, it doesn’t increase your chances of getting admission.just apply with your BSc

Sorry, I don't understand what you are asking or If this was an answer to the question.

The passport data page was included with the passport were both collected at TLS, but it wasn't just uploaded online during self service.

I was told if it is needed, they will send NSF MAIL.

Thank you for your response

Miscommunication, you said you took the data page there ‘after biometrics’
Biometrics is actually the day you went to TLS, all I was trying to say if you forgot to upload it online during self service, you could have opted for assisted service at TLS to upload the doc.

But yeah if it is needed they will send NSF mail. Best of luck

biometrics had been done before one realized. but, passport and printed biodata was submitted physically after biometrics.
How do you submit another document after biometrics? You do so during biometrics ( assisted service)
Didn’t you print your checklist before you went for biometrics? & you/them didn’t notice your passport data page wasn’t included .

If you can get a school with cheap tution deposit like 2k= thats 1,044,000 by today's exchange rate of N522...( i heard crane field is 1k) so u can go borrow the rest plus cost of living)

Tb test=58k

IHS= 705 x750 (black market)=529k(if your course is 1 year)

T4 visa= £363 × 750 = 273k

Plane=450k

Outside london house rent plus bill=1000£ = 522k u will buy from bank at cbn when u leave


U might just be able to pull it off with 3M...

Don’t give this such of advice, who will pay the remainder feeshuh After 1k deposit most schools expect you to pay 50% on enrollment.
When she gets to the uk, how will cope before getting a job. & IHS is €470 per year

Good morning to Bosses,

I got offer from RGU and I am about to pay my deposit but before then I want to seek some clarifications because I want to go with my family (Wife and Son).

We did not do court wedding or church wedding, we did only introduction and engagement. She (my wife) did her NIN last year using my surname and early this month she captured for international passport. Now, we want to do court wedding this week, hope this won't be a threat to our chances of getting visa because the marriage certificate will now be earlier than international passport.


We have some old pictures, chats and even our naming ceremony pictures.

Please gurus in the house share your opinions.
How is she your wife if you haven’t done church or court wedding to this day?
Go ahead & do the court wedding, chances of it affecting your visa application are slim, back it up with the other docs you mentioned
