Hello

You can apply for another masters in the UK even if you already have a master's degree in Nigeria

What is important is that you show progression and defend why you have choosen to do another masters

Change of career, passion, work experience etc

Cheers

Palolisthajoly:
Good morning, please I already have a masters in GIS here in Nigeria can I apply to study Masters in Data analytics in UK? Someone told me that I should declare my masters certificate at all. Please guys is there a negative effect to already having a masters in Nigeria while apply for UK study visa?

Hello

Ideally a No but there is no negative effect on your application is you choose a Yes

Cheers

micol10:
Guys please will this be a yes or no?

Hello

No

Your POF is for your studies

That is deception and if caught at POE can be asked to go back

Cheers

hadura29:
Can someone remove POF after decision has been made?

Hello

This is your opinion

It doesn't apply in all cases

Everyone's idea and career/study path is different

Cheers

babey543:
2 years is a waste of time especially in a course that does not require it. Those schools are just trying to make more money for themselves and UK government through IHS.

That extra 1 year could be use to work full time through skilled work visa/health care visa/ postgraduate visa enabling you to get money and experience as fast as you can with no limits and building ILR status.

Also often most people do not get internship and the school will curtail your visa to one year with no refund. Companies will underpay you doing internship and you will be serving as errand boy. This is embarrassing.

Also as a fresh MSc and BSc graduate with no experience, you can also apply for Internship positions. In fact, this is how oil and gas and multinational companies recruit nowadays. It is not required to be a student. So don't be scammed.

Only Nursing, Dietetics or any other health related course require 2 years.

Hello

You don't need courier service if you already have someone

Cheers

I didn’t select the courier service during application and I can’t make any changes.

Hello

You need to give them the collection documents and a consent letter to do so

Search on TLS you will see a copy

Cheers

You don't need to attach a copy in your application, you just need to state an approximate month and year,and a summary of your refusal to the best of your knowledge

You have an appointment,please to for it

Cheers

payne4real:
Please my appointment for biometrics is 9:15am. I heared they turn people with the time back at ikeja TLS.

Hello

You should be fine with just your student copy

Cheers

Teos:
yes the transcript is a student copy. Hence my earlier question.

Hello

If you have only one then provide it

I assume it is your employment letter

Make sure the contact on them are verifiable

Cheers

Lekeisaac:
Please enlisten me on this more, are they asking for l this document or only one out of it because I Can't get my payslip

Hello

No please

The last degree was masters in 2018 and it is less than 5 years

Cheers

Jvas:
@duchess90 and all, please help with this

Good day to all. Thanks to all that do help in answering questions here.

Please for someone that did nysc in 2009, and then went back to do his master degree in 2017 and finished in 2018, does he need to provide reason for study gap since the gap years is likely to 4 years?

Thanks

Hello

You have a draft the document giving them authorization to check your details,sign it and upload it to them

Cheers

Afroguee:
Good day everyone,
I was denied visa to the u.k 4 years ago and I can't find my refusal letter. I informed my school months ago , and today ,they just sent me a mail that I should upload a signed document that says I consent to them checking my immigration history with UKVI.

How do I go about the upload??

Hello

He should submit the employment documents he has since 2011

He may wish to add an additional cover letter stating what he has submitted and that he hasn't been in any active employment since then whilst preparing for his master's

The second isn't compulsory
Cheers

Kellyd2:
My friend got this NSF now, how can he go about it
He has the documents but has been out of work since July last year.
Does it matter if that one year and a month gap is not covered.

Hello

Use your TB certificate as it is, you don't need to change the address

Cheers

HrmBennyEmmy:
Good afternoon house!

Please I m worried. Got two offers, Cranfield University & University of Sussex, also two CAS from the two schools.. but I can only apply for visa with one CAS, I did TB test with Cranfield details because I got their offer early before d Sussex offer came. but right now I’m thinking of applying for visa to school at Sussex because they gave option to pay school fees in installments but Cranfield is wanting all fees paid in full before resumption. My question is can I still use same TB certificate in applying for visa to school at Sussex? Because when I did my test the school location and phone number inputted was that of Cranfield. Please advise. ASAP.

Thanks.

Hello

Is it regulated by the CBN?

If Yes then that's fine

Cheers

lexycool01:
Hello everyone
I want to know if I can use any microfinance bank for my POF

Hello

Please upload all the documents stated on your CAS

Upload your TB certificate

Upload your evidence of maintenance

Since your study gap is less than 5years I won't be too concerned but you may wish to upload your NYSC

Upload a copy of your passport data page

You don't need details of accommodation,any section that requires that please fill your Uni address

Cheers

Ace0074:
Good afternoon nairalanders. Please I am at the final stage of this process. @dduchess90 @Justwise and everyone here please my biometrics is next tomorrow and I want to self upload my document. Please what are the documents I am going to upload. And can I put my nysc 2020/2021 certificate to cover the employment part because i havent worked since i graduated 2019 and I don't have accommodation yet is it okay if I don't upload anything concerning that? I will really appreciate a list from someone that has did self upload and gotten visa or someone knows thanks

Hello

Is the transcript not authentic? Are you proving character?

Unless your transcript is a copy version and the original missing which is what I suppose you needed an affidavit and police report for then you don't need any of those

Keep it simple

Cheers

Teos:
sworn affidavit and police report are not just used in cases of lost documents,they can be use in cases to prove the authenticity of a document, character clearance etc. Thanks for your input, i appreciate.
Cheers

Hello

If he drops out of Uni, his details will be reported to UKVI and visa curtailed and asked to return

It's that simple

Cheers

MrDetermined:
Sorry but my question is;

Having arrived the UK to study a 3 years degree course and plans changed, now he wishes to drop out of university and Change his visa from tier 4 to tier 2 (which will enable him work)

My question is if it'll be possible to drop out of university and then switch his visa to working visa? and reside in the UK because he has no plans to return back to Nigeria for now.


The truth is that he used study route to japa.

Thank you.

Hello

You were barely lucky

Your ECO woke up on the right side of the bed and tampered rules for mercy

The date of your application is the date you pay your visa fee not biometrics

Go back to the summary page of the application you did and confirm this

Don't confuse people with what you barely escaped and what is the right thing

Cheers

efosakelly:
I have tried this more than once, and all came out successful, But your POF must be more than 28 days On the Date /time you attend your biometric. My conclusion is that, your application start from the date you submit your biometric.

Hello

Zero opening fee so it's your decision

Cheers

Zodka:
Hello House,

Please how much do you need to open an international student bank account in the UK.

Thanks

Hello

1. Validity of TB certificate is 6months
2. Wait till Nov or Dec
3. Any email will suffice
4. Nothing, the panic here is often caused by high volume of applications and delays from Uni's not the individual in all cases. My advise start with your application process end of September and follow through

5.UKVI advises evidence to show your POF is available for your studies with a statement that has minimum 28days,your POF is for your studies so the bolded is irrelevant

Cheers

eyexi:
1. What is the validity of the TB test?
I am still in the process of applying for admission (Jan 2023 intake) but I want to do the test now to avoid any unnecessary delay in the future. Is this a good idea?

---

2. I just also discovered my BVN is not linked to my main email address (which happen to be Yahoomail). This happened when I pretended to need the 'Form A' just to see if there will be bottlenecks.
I will contact my bank today to fix that ASAP
My question is that, must it be GMAIL (as explicitly stated on page 1 of this thread) or I can use my Yahoo mail address

---

3. What else can I do now to prevent unnecessary delay in future? I want to avoid 'panic mode' as often seen here.

---

4. I plan to apply to as many schools as possible and pick 1 of them later. Considering some schools require POF before issuing CAS. Also considering the warning on page 1 of this thread that 'funds must be left in the account till VISA is approved to avoid [b]stories that touch.'[/b]
Is it therefore safe to assume that Funds may need to remain in my account for 2 months(possibly 3 months)?
Or am I not getting the timeline correctly.

Hello
I believe the sponsor in the case are your parents

As long as the first and last name are the same there are no concerns

Cheers

Justplaying:
If the funds is transferred to me That’s another 28days wait for POF. I already have the POF using my sponsor account just the name arrangements that’s a concern & since affidavit can stand for it probably I should get that.

Hello

I had already responded

You applied before your POF got matured

You might be setting yourself up for a refusal

Pray the ECO ignores it

Cheers

Vitusvivi:
Pls i need an answer to my worries, my application date is 5th of August, my proof of fund will be ready by 22nd August and i have selected 23rd August for my biometrics, hope there will be no problem. Nee your advice.
Thanks.

Hello

You can use your student transcript to apply if it is stated in your CAS

Why would you need to swear affidavit and police report?Did you loose a document??

Cheers

Teos:
Please can someone use departmental or student copy transcript to apply for visa, with sworn affidavit and police report? ASUU strike is not letting me get it asap...

Hello

Once you select assisted service it means that TLS will upload your documents and the upload section for self-service will no longer be available

I want to believe you went along with them on your biometrics

Cheers

December30:
I am concerned because I picked the assisted service online and I could no longer see the upload button after I had used the self service to upload and submit my documents.
