And who told you cases will not be worse by January, how do you know if by January the second wave of the coronavirus won't have eaten deep in the UK or in the world in general thereby limiting students planning to go by then. Just plan your studies anytime you see fit and let those who are planning to study now to do so

STENON:
For those applying for student visa... Please if you are tired of staying in Nigeria, abeg make una defer till January. I won't encourage anyone to consider study plan for September/October.

Have you guys received your CAS?

Jaguar22:
Seconded

You're right, though it will be expensive than the usual

mattfeuter:
Student travel is essential. Visit isn’t.

Many airlines will sell tickets to students, workers and resident permit holders.

Most schools are opening by October so it basically won't really affect international students, we just pray they won't extend it beyond this

Dejavu31:
Hmmm in regards to visa services I Don’t think it Will affect it because visa services resumed in India with airspace still close. Fingers crossed

I don't think there is any bias here, a lot of people do test negative immediately from the results with no complications. I wish everything works out fine with you and I wish your results finally come out as negative.

adeniyy01:
Thank you baba,
I was at IOM centre today for further test, we were three with the same issues. They said the results would be out in 8weeks if the result is negative. Baba, no be small coughe today oo.. they asked us to laugh to produce mucous.
I pray for better outcome tho. My school resumes 5th of Oct.. am thinking of differ admission till January but I will hold on till next month end..it seems IOM people are biased to people without scholarship.
I will make my deposit this Friday nd keep my fingers cross

Why will schools send enquiry emails to banks, to enquire what, that the account is genuine or what, I don't know about your school but the schools I know of don't send anything, they just request for your statement of account and see if there are enough funds for at least 28 days, theyill issue your CAS

addictiv:
One major issue that causes delay in CAS is our Nigerian banks taking too long to respond to the enquiry email sent to them by the schools. Some banks don't even respond to the email at all. So I think we should also try to find out banks that respond quickly and prepare for the process using those banks.

If the name omitted is the middle name, you shouldn't have a problem as long as the first name and last name are still there, it shouldn't be an issue

BIGBENB:
The name of parents and child wasn’t in full as same on parents bank details and applicant’s documents too.

Same here

DonTwice:
UWE

Yes I understand that there will be a transition period but understand that during the transition Period, the United Kingdom is no longer a Member State of the European Union or of the European Atomic Energy Community. As a third country, it will no longer participate in the EU’s decision-making processes. It will also no longer be represented in the EU institutions (such as the European Parliament and the EU Council of Ministers), EU agencies, offices or other EU bodies.

LagosismyHome:
Even though UK left EU in january 2020, there is 11 month transition period. During this 11-month period, the UK will continue to follow all of the EU's rules. So technically UK still under EU till 31 December 2020

However the original post, doesnt seem to be posted anywhere apart from punch and Sahara. I would have expected to see it on more sites .

The link which might not even be true said the ban came from European Union and not Europe so what are you saying. Let's address more important issues please

TrumpsWall:
They left the Union and not EUROPE

Even if this is true which I strongly doubt because its not available anywhere on any news site except this showing that it's a fake news, the UK has left the EU in January 2020, so this does not apply to UK. Stop spreading fake and unverified news that will cause panic please

This is most likely going to affect students resuming school in any European country this September

I'm here, I have an unconditional offer and starting this September

spotgetj:
Any prospective University of west of England, Bristol student in house?

Don't know about university of Huddersfield but I can vouch for UWE, Bristol. School is top notch one of the best schools in England, however most of their programs is starting by January 2021 so you might want to think about that

BIGBENB:
Hello Nairalanders

Which of these two Universities and study Location is best

1. University of Huddersfield (Middlesbrough)
2. University of West England Bristol

I await your responses.

Thank you.

So no update all these while. Na wa ooooooooo

I heard that they've already selected the successful candidates. The only remaining thing for them is to call the candidates for their letter of employment which I don't know when that will be

femoric:
Like I said, there is/are human factor in what I wrote up there.
For a fact, my source is a strong person in ODBIR, but he ain't the chairman of the board, so he just doesn't have all the details.
For now, I just wanna advise that everyone don't put all their eggs in one basket. Cos I learnt this portfolio was supposed to be signed by the ex governor, but he didn't reckon with it, so who knows what the current governor is up to as well

okay thanks... yeah I think I agree with you cos this is taking too long. However, my source told me there would be a training for the selected candidates and not interview like you said. I don't know what form the training will take though

femoric:
Please note that the below information may also be verified.

Fact gotten about this job
* The job isn't contract based, it is permanent
* The Autonomy Bill for the portfolio has been signed by the Gov
* For now, about 200 candidates will be absorbed.
* There is going to be another interview for successful candidates
* Job description - Land Use Taxation

No specific time was stated about when candidates will resume or get appointment letters.

I hope these info helps

And if I may ask, how did you gather all this info, is your source verified from bir. The reason I'm asking is that I have a source from bir and some things he told me are quite different from what you wrote here

I don't understand why will there be another interview if they've already selected them

femoric:
Thanks for your response ma/sir.
For a fact, there is NO interview going on right now, that's what I can emphatically say. As to letters and resumption dates, I'll contact someone I know within and get back to everybody here

Thanks bro, we will be expecting your feedback.

femoric:
pls would you mind sharing what you heard??

I heard that there's another interview going on that those that did interview the last time wasn't enough but when I called someone at bir, he said there's nothing like that, I also heard theyill start calling the selected ones by June though the source is unverified and here some1 said by April Weill start receiving letters so I don't understand again

Someone with tangible and verified info should please update us on what's going on cos I'm just hearing different things

The link isn't going...please add me 0703616243. Thanks

ebin1984:
