It's PPR and my turn to dance
Started this journey in 2019, given up along the way, IELTS expired, profile expired, chop breakfast join😂, cried, rejoiced with others, prayed, fasted and it has come to pass.

I am sharing this because one thing that really helped me was reading other's PPR story, It encouraged me and lately I don't see so much here again so if you are someone like me. This is for you. Stay hopeful.

Hello guys,

Please I am having a small issue with my WES Evaluation.

1. Making payment for the evaluation has been a hell of an issue. I have tried my GTBank USD Debit Card all to no avail.

2. I am confused as to when I should process my transcripts from my school (OAU) to send to WES. Is it after I have made the payment on WES or I can proceed to pay for the OAU transcript when I'm yet to make the WES Payment?

Please, I would appreciate your support if you have passed through this stage before.

I will be waiting for your response...

Thanks all

Voda Paints Limited is not a Scam Company. I once worked there for more than a year and I must tell you that it is one of the best place to work in Lagos.

The company located in a 3-Storey Building that houses other companies and Businesses and those doing Job Scam activities happened to be using the last floor of the same building Voda Paints Limited is using. They are the one using Voda Paints Limited name in their fake job invites to people. As at the time I worked there, these scammers have been evicted from the building. Other companies in the same building are; University Press, Paint Manufacturers Association of Nigeria office, Nigeria Small Scale Enterprenuers (not sure I got that right though) office, etc.

Please let’s remove Voda Paints Limited from this list as this bad media reputation is affecting the business/brand identity/image.

It's no longer news that there several fake job locations in Nigeria, especially Lagos. Some of these addresses can either be kidnapping hideouts or ritualist's abode or even "just bring 2 people" set of scammers.

Please is this still available? I need this for Canada Admission I already have.

Thanks so much!

I have read the thread from page one. I am more particular about answer to my second question.

Thanks

Honeysweetest:
Are sure you read from page one?
Answers to these questions are there.

Hi Guys,

I just came across this thread and I have been able to read from the first page to this page. Please I have few questions to ask the gurus in the house.

I have been trying the study route but I just thought of doing this EE too just to spread the net and hope for the best.

Please these are my questions:

1. Which do you advice I do first? IELTS or WES?
2. Is it possible to be in the Federal Express Entry Pool and at the same time apply for a particular Province Nomination too? I heard it helps to boost the score.
3. Is it that once you are in the pool (I mean after submitting the EE application), you get to waits every draw time to get selected for ITA and if one is not selected for ITA, at what point can you re-submit the EE Application?

Please, I will be grateful for the gurus in the house to help me answers this questions.

Hello Bro,

Please I would love to ask what the difference between Master Degree Program and Post Graduate Certificate is?

I am about to submit my application Georgian College but I want to understand what the difference between this two mean!

I will be waiting for your reply please.

Thanks

nnamdi346:
Each program has its own requirements however, they look at your WAEC/NECO result more. Anyways, my spouse is going for a nursing program which is quite competitive. She only has one C in her WAEC and was admitted. Although she submitted her degree transcript (over 4.0 cgpa) and WES evaluation, I doubt if those were a key factors.


Check for your program requirement here

All the best

Wow wow wow… Omo Alhaja! How are you doing brother?

Omoalhaja77:
I've met some face-to-face

Some, we attended same Uni @Ife, the likes of DTOBS, Olubee. I & Dtobs lived on the same floor back then @Awo Annex

My childhood friend is a NL'der, shegzzy, now an Accountant @Lag. Naturally cool guy but a keyboard warrior

Coincidentally met one female NL'der @Ogun NYSC Camp, Sagam. Many yrs back. Cnt rember her moniker right now. She is lively & very very tall

...I remember another one, Bret. We were neighbors at Awo too. Later got to know he is NL'der.

I doubt if all these guyz mentioned are still active here though

Hello Bro, please what is “trac job”? Is it a job platform!

EJIOGBENIMI:
I don't know how to go about care giver jobs sir. I received my job offer on trac job.
You can read through the thread for useful information on how to go about it.

Hello Great People of this thread! I am so glad this thread is still alive and going.
Please, I want to ask this very important question as I am at a crossroad.

Is it advisable to fund tuition deposit with “Study Loan” companies at a certain interest rate to be paid back in installment when one get to UK?

I want to know the pros and cons of this option.

Thanks as I awaits your response!

Thanks so much Man!!!

I really appreciate.

Thanks @dduchess90 for all you do too. Was trying to remember your monicker earlier.

Isiterere:

1. IHS will be for 2 years
2. Transcript or certificate at the point of application(most school)
3. Both - but student hard copy will do during application as well.
4. Personal opinion - you can apply on the school website yourself (no agent)unless the school direct you to use UCAS

I am not sure a graduate program will work for your sister. If she can make research on Undergraduate study on Social Work, she will stand a good chance

Waltz007:
Hi Guys!
My sister has only ND what are her options for a UK study. She wants to study social work but has only ND. Pls guys I need answers. Thanks

Good Morning great people doing great things here! You guys have been incredibble.

Please I want to further my enquiries on this project because my people will always say "Person wey ask for road no dey miss road". Big thanks to Mimilyrics and the other wonderful lady (Please I can't remember your monicker now, but you have been wonderful so far on the thread).

Now these are my questions:

1. My wife (MA) will be applying for a 2 years Program (Full time), how many years IHS fee are we going to be paying? One year or 2 years?

2. At what point will transcript will be requested for? At the point of Applying to schools or after admission has been given?

3. Also, what type of transcripts is required? The student's copy or the official one directly from school. We made enquiry from the school and they said to send one transcript to a school will cost 30k.

4. Finally, what is the difference between applying to the school directly through their websites and applying through UCAS?

I will be so grateful to once again read all your comment - answer.

Thanks.

Congratulations to you and your spouse. UK will favour you.

Please can you let me know the school you are going, the fee and their tuition payment flexibility. Thans

University of Staffordshire is a very good school with flexible payment. Based on my research, the initial deposit is 3,500 (My wife’s course is 15k) and then the installmental payment is 34%, 33% and 33% of the total tuition fee on Arrival, January and April ending respectively for the September 2022 intake, I guess.

I am not sure, if they request for POF before issuing CAS.

bastardson:
How much is Staffordshire deposit.. Do Dey require POF before CAS ?

Good Morning bro,

Please what course are you doing at Ulster University?

I also saw 9,350 as the Fee, but when I checked the fee for international students, I saw 16500 but 9350 for Part time. Is your Part Time?

Emaaaaaaa:
Ulster confirmed my payment today

Hello, What is the process to getting POF done with you and the interest rate?

Oh I see...Thanks

Ayinke93:
It favours those that earn foreign currencies cause I do. Say you have 1000 dollars, you exchange via black market, then use the Naira you now have for form A. The risk involved is; You may not get form A and may need to exchange back at black market rate, but it won't be that much of a difference. It's a risk worth taking.

Wow.... So this means, every payment during the application process stage including payment to the school stated as GBP can be made in USD if that is what is available to you?

Thanks man

ignis:
Both are accepted.

Please Ayinke, is UK payment in Dollars or Pounds? Getting awed by this ooooo

Ayinke93:
Just thought to share an idea with you since you said you have some money in your DOM account. If you eventually have to wait till January, you can sell your dollars at black market rate and then try to pay with form A. Saves you a lot of dollars.

This only apply if you eventually have to wait till January.

Good evening all

Plesase does anyone know if walk-in for biometrics is available in Abuja TLS centre?

Congratulations Sir, wish you safe landing in UK.

sokoto:
It all started in 2015...
I tried study visa in Australia it failed...
In 2017-2018 , i tried
America , student visa , failed.. i studied this tread back to back and fail at four attempt for American student visa.
Seriously, i gave up on anything visa or studying abroad..
It was my younger brother who begged me to pls try uk , i said i have family and cant be throwing money away like this ...
In 2022 i reluctantly tried that of Uk student visa and came back to this tried again..
This time , i was just reading as usual and expecting to have the same results...
Note i already have 17 years study after my BSC...
To God be the glory my uk student visa landed today... It seems to me like a dream.
For all those awaiting visa, yours will come through soonest and you will testify too.
God bless us All.

Thanks so much sir. You don't know how much I appreciate this list... I will now take them one after the other and review which is best for us. Once again, thanks so much sir/ma

[quote author=Skynet2021 post=115133243][/quote]

Once again, I can't thank you enough for your well detailed answers and help. I will kick start the process now and keep up with the thread for further assistance at each stage of the application.

Thanks so much mimilyrics once again, you are great!

mimilyrics:
You're welcome.

Yes. You will need to show school fees + maintenance. School fees will be on the course page + the offer letter. Maintenance is in the UKVI link in my comment.
For your wife: School fees or balance + maintenance of £1,334 per month * 9 months for inside London OR
School fees or balance + maintenance of £1,023 per month * 9 months for outside London.
For you, the dependant: Maintenance of £845 a month * 9 months for inner London OR
Maintenance of £680 a month * 9 months for outside London.

The dependant's application is hinged on the main applicant's. If you're applying at the same time, then get your documents and evidence at the same time. If not, get your documents (eg. TB test) like a month before you apply + the evidence your spouse's legal stay in the Uk (visa vignette/BRP/Student status letter. If applying within a few months of the main applicant, please ensure that the main applicant's POF or receipts (rent, tuition etc.) is available to show that the funds are truly available and not recycled, if requested at any point in time.
https://www.gov.uk/student-visa

I am really grateful for your response Mimilyrics, you have done more than what google will even do cos, trust me, it can be so confusing especially when you don't have a clear direction, but what you've done is to make it so simple for me to relate with and run with. I am so grateful and God will keep blessing you.

Furthermore, on the No 2;
- Are you saying once we know the school fees/tuition, we can go ahead to start sourcing for funds to use as POF? How then do we know how much we need as POF? will this be included as information during application to the school or how do we get to know the exact POF needed?

- Where do I come in as a dependent in the whole application process? Is it at the point after the CAS has been issued to my wife or when?. Cos I understand that there are some test both the MA and the dependent must do, example is the TB test. Will that be done together or differently. (I hope you understand my question).

Once again, thanks so much.

mimilyrics:
1. Google is your best bet. Search for schools that have the course that your wife wants to study at. If you have particular locations, include that in your search. No one can do the basic research for you as people pick different schools for different reasons. You can try University of Kent, University of East London, Greenwich, Stirling Uni, Anglia Ruskin Uni, Northampton Uni, Oxford Uni, Cranfield Uni, Robert Gordon Uni etc.

2. Start prepping your POF the moment you decide on where you want to go and you know how much the tuition will be, in addition to your maintenance.
Apply to school => Get offer => fulfill offer conditions => Undergo your TB test around this period => Show POF plus other required documents (TB test, BSC/educational qualifications as required) to the school for CAS issuance => Get CAS and start online application => Submit and pay for your application online, select biometrics date, and upload supporting documents via self-service => Go for your biometrics appt and use assisted service if you have documents not uploaded via self-service => await UKVI's response.

Thanks so much for finding time to reply me.

I have gone through the first 10 pages of this thread and even the previous ones through the links provided.

Now these are the questions, confusion and worries I have as at now;

1. How do I get a school to apply to for my wife? I have tried google but most time, I get same response that do not help or not enough, so I will appreciate if you can direct me on some list of schools to check and apply to for my wife. I am also considering the tuition in this place, so I want moderate tuition schools.

2. After Application, are we to proceed to the Visa office for the Visa Application and when do we start getting our POF documents ready?

I am anticipating your answer sir/ma as I want to start the school application process as soon as possible and see how far we can go in short time.

Thanks so much sir.

Hello,

I totally understand how you feel. My suggestion is that you read/study the first few pages of this thread, then come back to ask questions/seek clarifications of the things that are unclear to you.

Good evening Everyone, I must really express my joy getting to know about this thread today.

Please, Myself and Wife are about starting this process of relocating to UK through study and we are planning to use her as Main Applicant while I will be the dependent.

I am completely new to this whole process, terminologies and words used in relocating and I will appreciate getting all the help I can get from A to Z.

I am hopeful that it will be easier for me and my wife the same way I have read so many people's testimonies on this thread.

I will be reading all the help, guide and advice in the comment section as a reply to this.

Thanks so much

duchess90 daviddango mimilyrics

Thanks so much bro.

I am really grateful for the response.

Since Driver's License is safe to use and I think it takes lesser time to come out unlike International passport, I think I will process the DL first.

Codedboy95:
1) International passport, driving license. Some people have also gotten their account verified with nimc, I think this depends on the upwork empoyee that reviews your application

2) In most cases yes

3) Implication is that your account get suspended, you won’t be able to apply to jobs and your current contracts might be put on hold.

Good Afternoon Great Freelancers,

My Joy know no bound when I stumble on this thread.

I just joined the Upwork Family this March and I have submitted around 8-9 proposals already with 3 clients already in my message box discussing how best I can fit for their project.

Now, a lady (a new freelancer too) messaged me that she got blocked on Upwork. She has already gotten an offer and she has started working.

I asked her what could be wrong and she said the Means of Identification she used was rejected. At First, she used National ID Card which she said was rejected, then she used Voter’s Card and then it was also rejected. Then she got the message that she has been permanently blocked on Upwork.

Now my questions are these;

1. What exact means of ID can one use on Upwork that won’t pose any issue and get one’s account blocked.

2. Is it after one’s got an offer that Upwork request for verification of those ID?

3. What is the implication of not verifying if what you are having is only National ID card and Voter’s Card and they are not accepting that?

Please Gurus in the house, help me answer this questions cos I am really scared now that I am getting invites form clients and I am hoping I will be getting an offer soon.

Thanks

I will be waiting to read everyone’s contributions
