Andrepete:
Hello fam,
I am new here

I was offered an conditional admission for masters program starting September in the Middlesex university . The campus is at Hendon . I was told to pay €1000 as deposit before they issue me CAS number. Please, gurus in the house, I was told to upload visa and immigration documents (I don't know which exact document they need o) please does anyone know the exact documents??. I don't really understand. Can someone help me elaborate more on this. And secondly, is the University environments okay generally in terms of working while studying.

Nobody can tell you the exact documents your school needs but to be on the safe side, upload all the documents you are going to use to apply for a visa, then they will choose what they want since they didn't specify.

Secondly, working while studying is dependent on you and your pocket. You can choose to do it and you can choose not to do it. Get there first and decide.

What about investing in TB in the UK?

The rate in the UK or in most developed countries is not above 1.5 - 2%, that's why most individuals just go the FTSE (Stocks) route and Asset Mgt firms here prefer investing in emerging market (Nigeria, SA etc).

DaveChapelle:
I guess so, but me i don't trust Nigerian system. Stock exchange has crashed several times. But i guess treasury bills are okay, but i don't really understand them. I would probably look for investment locally

Investing in TB in Nigeria is quite easy anywhere in the world.

1. Look for a good Investment Bank/Commercial Bank and indicate your interest in investing on that instrument. A bank would try and convince you not to do it though and give you a Fixed Deposit option (Reason is the TB money goes to the CBN/FG Whatever and they cannot make money from money that is not in their custody)

2. Open an account. They will need your ID and utility bill. If you are using a UK address, the bill should be notarized, if Nigerian address, all well and good.

3. Ask for the Tenors; 91-day, 182-day and 365-day (UK use the 364-day structure). Rates are between 11 - 13% pa depending on the tenor. One thing you should understand is that 11% in Naira is not 11% in Pounds oo.

4. Fund your account and invest. If you invest N200,000 for the 91 day 11% pa (for example), TB has an upfront interest payment where you can get your interest at the early stage and collect/re-invest your capital at maturity.

veleta:
@Lexus430,GMC yesterday refuted that figure,I think it's actually 750 .I knew that 6240 was exaggerated.

This same GMC is "massively" encouraging overseas doctors to apply to the UK. Advanced Chicken and Egg Strategy!

July007:
The admission-offer email comes with the "tuition waiver" stated clearly in it. I was also privilege to get one. Thanks to God.

I see you

Senator35:
Haa Davide470, you are underestimating the power of satan's excrete. An entry level dude at any of the OIC collects nothing less than 17M per annum. I will advise you make your findings. You are gonna be amazed at the enormous package they receive.

The way una dey call all these money sha N17million, N25million.. Issok!

I wish you all the best!

mails4okonta:
Lol...Turns out the offer was Genuine....

Moved to Qatar already and am enjoying it.

Thanks Everyone

That's great!

Enjoy Doha! Whenever i visit, i will send you a PM

ariketalks:
Try to verify its authenticity through the way someone up there advised.
Also, google the company, try to find their official website and contact details and reach out to them to confirm too. If it's all genuine and the pay is good, get out of this country as fast as you can. You can even request a leave from your present work place just in case. Best wishes.

You do know this was a thread from last year right?

datascience:
Not so.
Jobs are easier got anywhere if you are qualified except for UK due to their immigration law being too stringent.

Lets be factual here. You wouldn't relinquish a job in UAE to be paid trainee salary in Nigeria where even the living conditions are harsh. The guys in Exxonmobil here in Nigeria are looking out to go to Canada. So you get the logic?

Thirdly, you are being paid according to MOBIL NIGERIA.

UK is actually getting more receptive in the wake of Brexit. They will start issuing 6months stay for you to look for a Job after your schooling.

Guys in ExxonMobil are going to Canada (as you said) because it will not be hard for them to get a job there, if they eventually decide to go. Most just go to the US.

IOCs normally try to have a uniform standard of payment globally.

vozkini:
Justification for the travel not provided. After providing itinerary in a tabular form that states locations times fee and hours to spend in those areas per day and with a tour arrangements. 4.8million balance self employed. Paid hotel. Company documents receipts insurance and all their requirements with conscise cover letter.
If it were uk I will be give 1 year.� turn over 25mil plus

Ok. This basically means you did not produce a solid tie to Nigeria to ascertain your return.

Paraphrasing -
You have all the right documents and funds to travel but you did not give us enough reason/evidence to why you would want to return back to Nigeria after your stay elapses .

Christycode:
I'm actually going to learn French, not another course in French

If you will be taught in French, then you need to show a proficiency in the language.

JustFew:
Please can someone help me answer this question as it's vital before I submit my application.

1. I am applying for a Family of 4, do we all need to be present at Lagos for Submission?

2. Will biometric be done for all 4 ?

3. Do I need to book an appointment to submit or just walk in any day and submit my application?

4. Do all family members require to take a passport photo of the require spec for submission?

I have all stated documents required, but my issue is about submission. Can someone put me through submission process. I am sorry if my questions isn't asked properly.

Thanks in advance to anyone that will help me through this.

I will answer this to the best of my knowledge:

1. Yes, you all need to be present

2. Yes, as long as you are submitting a passport, you will do biometrics

3. Walk in

4. It is "safer" to take your passport inside VFS though it is more expensive.

What do you mean by submission process? Online or submitting at VFS?

vozkini:
Went to collect my processed application for France. Visa denied. Me and my wife and my daughter. Among 8 persons that pick processed france. None was issued a visa. Any body planning may consider other Schengen countries seems france don’t need tourist in their country again.

Oh wow. Care to tell us the reason for the denial?

Christycode:
They said they have no idea of the procedures involved as visa requirements vary but can only issue me a certificate of pre enrollment for the visa.

Ok, for you to be taught in French, you need to show your ability to understand the language, so a B2 is actually quite good. It will help with the Visa.

Christycode:
Urgent help needed
Please do I need a Delf B2 to study French in France? I'm going to a language school in Paris,to learn French the French way for a year. I really need your clarifications.

The best advice you will get will come from your language school. Have you asked them?

babarexo:
I am currently a post graduate student in UK.However,I wish to apply for my wife and daughter to join me.I filled the visa application online and got this line as part of the requirement for my child "consent from your parent(s)/legal guardian(s) to the living arrangements in the United Kingdom and the address where you will be staying".Do I need to include a rent contract/agreement or simply write a letter stating she will be staying with me and address included.I don't have a rent agreement.kindly advise.

Why don't you have a rental agreement though?

A legal proof of accommodation should be submitted.

Mofpearl:
It is rated as a one of the top 10 universities in the world and was recommended to me by a research specialist. But I know sometimes the reality on ground might be different. The few reviews I read were positive and I am seeking more reviews, specifically from Nigerians. Can you explain why the university no make am?

*Hands on my head*

When are you coming to the abroad?

geobukky:
If you wanted to do this you could have pm to the person. This can get test canceled or more stringent for Nigerians

I don't think there would be an issue with this, as individual responses and reactions differs to these questions, no matter how prepared you are. Also, it is just one of the metrics to grade you.

.

TrumpsWall:
Correct me if I am wrong but has there been limit on international students before? Na post study dem dey find

Work permit holders definitely has always had a limit.

The limit was just there for show.. I don't think i have seen a "Rejection" by a UK uni. to any international student especially this trying period that everywhere is red for the Queen and Country

sutelk:
Please can anyone help with information on this? Thanks

I am not sure you would get a specific response to this, but paying online is cheaper or equal to paying at the venue.

Ecee0147:
Hey guys.
So I've been following the thread for a bit..and I've really learnt alot.

I'm planning on coming to Aberdeen for Studies and to be very sincere I dont intend to come back to Nigeria, would love to settle in Scotland.
Will really appreciate your guidance and advice on how to go about it
Pls.
Thanks guys

The new policy for Masters Student gives them 6 months after their studies to look for a job, so it is feasible for you to stay back in Scotland (UK)

Mamatukwas:
I do £4 to Lagos and £5 to Abuja. Delivery to your door. No minimum weight charge. You either send to us in Enfield or we arrange paid pick up. Pickup is free for really large shipments.

Just to understand you correctly: you charge £4 to deliver to Lagos? If Yes, how much to pick up from London?

Majestgift:
