It is no longer compulsory to verify using verify me, new applicants can do it directly from PTDF wesbite. I guess that is what they changed.
Any source? as in where did you get thee info?

Thank you for your reply. The boy is 15+ and yes he passed WAEC and NECO.The plan is to apply for his VISA by January. We are just looking for the right and affordable pathway for him to continue his education. Someone said he probably will need to use naric to evaluate his waec result to compare it to the UK GCSE equivalent. I am not gettiing a lot of info from some college website I viewed.
You dont need NARIC. Most UK schools know about our WAEC.

What he needs to do here is to apply for A levels. If you have money, you can apply to university but your child will start from foundation which is one year before university.

Your child can even do A level exam in Nigeria and enter university directly. https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/support/support-topics/understanding-our-qualifications/find-a-pearson-centre.html?Country=Nigeria&City=Lagos&QualificationFamily=Edexcel.
If he does Unilag diploma, he can study directly in some UK universities (https://unilag.edu.ng/?p=4629).

Just concentrate on your child having dependent visa as he must be less than 18.

Unlike in previous years, you only need one email to apply to 3 schools max via Type B and 2 schools via Type A. This compliance is monitored by your international passport No

In addition, acceptance letter is mandatory for type B application.
Where did you hear this news. Can you pleas post the official link. What is the source? Is it from an official CSC source as there are lots of fake website news now?

Because my guy currently in China who won CSC through University programme just told me that acceptance letter is not compulsory but gives you higher chance especially for PhD and even MSc.

If you dont have it, you can still apply. When I applied and won it, I didn't even include acceptance letter same as my freind. Though due to high competition, to have higher chance, acceptance letter is advisable.

However, if you have tried and you dont have it, just apply to many scholarship categories. At least, one will click. Dont put all your eggs in one basket. Apply and post your documents early. Use NIPOST registered mail as it takes about 2 to 3 weeks for your document to reach China. It costs just 1 to 2k as opposed to courier which cost about 15 to 20k.

My freind just verified this from his school international office that acceptance letter is not compulsory but gives one higher chance.

Thank you .

Thanks for replying to my post. Now people have suggested to keep trying for a Tier 2, but we know how that can be, you literarily have to stay with the company for 3 years then hope they extend it further to cover the 5 years. After what happened to a friend of mine that lost her job on a Tier 2 visa and had to return back to base, I don't want the uncertainty associated with it. I already have 6 years in the bag, i just need 4 more and want as much flexibility as possible to move between well paying companies without the hassle of RLMT if I want to switch to another company while on T2. That's why I'm keeping an eye out for what other options are available. I am also considering Tier 1 routes, but I want to see if an MBA would give me exposure to business for that, as I am not really currently business inclined. I can then choose either to go for Start-up afterwards or just sit in with the new PSW depending on how it is applied (both of which last 2 years with no obligation to be attached to a company that may or may not decide to keep me after 3 years of labour).
Dont waste your money for MBA. Just try and get Tier 2. If the company does not extend, then you can try the study route. You can also try other PhD skilled job through Tier 1 Exceptional Talent. The company will let you know if they wont sponsor you prior aa year so you can plan ahead. You can even look for other Tier 2 job again. That is not a problem at all.

Also, their will be updated immigration rules. There is currently a notion for permanent immigration just like in Australia and Canada.
That will even be the easiest and best option for you. With your UK education and work experience, you should be able to secure permanent status through this scheme.

Just try to look for Tier 2 job now and obtain valuable experience.

Take care.

Can you chill till January so that we can get some other guys and send together to cut our costs.
It seems you dont understand this Chinese Government scholarship process.

Submission of documents is per head and on individual basis. You dont send in group or else your application will be discarded.

Submission also depends on the school requirements, department requirements and the address and the school instructions.

China is very huge and big. There are five time zones.

Follow the instructions as I dont think you have read this well to avoid mistakes.

Read this calmly and slowly:

I was at nipost ems office at ikeja and they estimated N17,400 for sending docs to china.
EMS is courier. Just like DHL, FedEx and the rest.

NIPOST registered mail service is under NIPOST. So you go to NIPOST postal office not ems office. They give you international tracking number that can be tracked and recognised worldwide.
Ensure you mention[b]NIPOST registered mail[/b] and ask for your tracking number

Thanks for this link, DMainMan.

Through it, i was able to get to the google drive compilation that gives a step by step expose on how to apply, and it has been helpful.

However, i have a barrage of questions, and i crave you indulgence in providing experienced answers as i drop them gradually.

According to one of the points you outline, a single pdf document of my WAEC and English Proficiency Letter from my school can act in lieu of the IELTS. But, does submitting an IELTS result, especially if you had a good score, give one any advantage whatsoever? I can imagine the number of applicants interested in the program from all over the world, so any advantage will be helpful.

Also, i couldnt find the agency number for 2 of my schools of interest in your agency number compilation. How do i go about this
Thanks
1. No real advantage. It is just to confirm if you are fluent in English. But if you have ielts, you can use it but if you dont have, there is no need.
2. Google the "school name and agency number" to get it

Please, what's the average fee for that?
Do it by yourself. You can use Nipost registered mail which is cheap. You can also track your package.

The earlier you apply, the better . So you can apply to many scholarship categories as one will click.

Hello bro,

I have begun my search for courses and schools for the CSC and my focus is on Logistics-related Masters or MBA.

I have narrowed my search to the options in the attached pictures.

What do you think about the choice of courses and schools?
Are they Continuing Education, such that even though my B.Sc degree is unrelated, my experience can cut it for me?
What are my chances of getting admission, especially since i am Nigerian?
How about scholarship? Any chances for partial or even full scholarship?
I can self-fund, any hope of getting jw202 after getting admission?

I covet your experienced answers, bro.

Thanks

f. You should post early so your documents can reach there on time. It is advisable to use the [b]NIPOST registered mail postage service [/b]so you can have the money to post to many schools you applied for.

Courier is very expensive hence not recommending it. DHL charges about 15 to 20k. While NIPOST registered mail is just 1 to 2k. Don’t waste your money. Apply and post early to many schools in time to increase your chances.

You can track your NIPOST registered mail post through there:

SUMMARY ON 2020 BSC, MSC AND PHD CHINESE GOVERNMENT SCHOLARSHIP

a. There are SIX different categories of Chinese Government scholarship[/b] that you can apply for. The CHINESE GOVERNMENT SCHOLARSHIP- UNIVERSITY PROGRAMME offers full scholarship. The OTHER CHINESE SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES offer full or partial scholarship. Check here for info of the other five categories of Chinese scholarship: https://www.nairaland.com/4943935/apply-2019-bsc-msc-phd#74513801

b. You can apply to the SIX [/b]categories of scholarships if you have the capital, time and eligible, [b]But quality matters. At least, try and apply for only one scholarship scheme and in one school especially the CHINESE GOVERNMENT SCHOLARSHIP- UNIVERSITY PROGRAMME if you don’t have much money. I know someone who only applied to one university through CHINESE GOVERNMENT SCHOLARSHIP- UNIVERSITY PROGRAMME SCHEME and won and I know another person that apply to all the 6 different scholarship schemes and still did not win.

c. Chinese universities accept HND with Postgraduate diploma, HND only not too sure but try your as a Ghanian was accepted, BSC for Masters and MSc (minimum MPhil grade) for PhD scholarship. However, each university has different requirements as the entry requirements varies. Great opportunity to gain overseas scholarship for HND graduands as most criteria nowadays are high

d. Check for Chinese universities, degrees and courses taught in English using this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TpVEQf_T1y8qELNrUaa-7GQhS9FaTCUG/view?usp=sharing

But i was refused on flimsy excuse, on something i detailed in cover letter. To God what i presented were nothing but the truth. Not i single lie cos i was once banned over ten years ago. I believe u understand my carefulness and why pained that gurus here ignored my post.
Hello bro. Sorry I skipped your letter but you should know that everyone here is busy.

I think they said you didn't explain the origin of your funds and it does not conform to what you wrote in your visa application.

They also said the salary you receive from your employer is variable and recurring every now and then. Your salary should be monthly and static.

They also said your stated expenses in your visa application does not conform with is in your account. You said you spend 20000 naira monthly for you and your children. This is quite small. Also the monthly expenses does not reflect the money that leaves your account monthly.

Lastly, they said your disposable income is almost twice your budget trip.

Try and adjust it. Before you apply again, send me an email so I can see it.

Good luck.

Am a silent reader on this educative platform, House kindly help me out, I got a refused for visa yesterday with this letter
Bro that agent lie is too much o. You just wasted your money on agent that you are even more capable than.

Y not do it by yourself and follow advice here. You should have said the truth and be patient.

Like I said yesterday, you can be unemployed and get visa. It is not about how much the money.
It is about proving how you got the money in your account and following other UK visitor guidelines i.e home ties,
budget trip not twice than your disposable income.

It will be very hard to get visa as you have portrayed yourself as a very rich man.
TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by DMainMan:
Another success news from a friend in the UK who sponsored his sister-in-law for UK Visitor visa.

It is now a fact that you can get UK visitor visa even though you state in your visa application that you are unemployed
His sister-in--law was unemployed but receive regular money from her family members and husband acting as a housewife. This was reflected in her account.
She has her home ties intact and my friend was responsible for all her budget for the trip as her sponsor
and showed his evidence too. UK visitor visa is not about how much you have. It is about proving what you claim you have
as stated in your visa application.
