HI Gurus in the house
Please I did manual booking and were asked to go to Redington.
However, on the confirmation email I got, it was stated that test is in Lagos office.

My question : Where should I go that day? IOM Ikeja office or Redington?
M

Reddington and IOM are in the same area so you can go to anyone and ask, they'll direct you to the right one

ps. I'm not a guru

Please I am a bit confused, do we still need to take our POF statement, when going for biometrics? I thought we submit it during application online only.

Kindly enlighten me please. Thank you.

This link has the answer to your question

Good morning everyone, I’m trying to pay for tb test for my child and I and I can’t find the page that has the cost in naira. Kindly assist with the link.

57,800 for adults, not sure for price for children below 11 years

They have an account number, you'll find it on their website, pay at the bank or do mobile transfer

Good day family. Its only the soft copy of my uni transcript that i have which i used in getting admission. Pls can i take it to the visa center in a flash for assisted service. Hope it doesn’t matter. Thanks @scobyy2007 @justwise

I think you might need to print a colored copy out

@ Dumebi213.....I have replied him/her sometimes we get too emotional with things like this.....we are all here to learn...no soh one student dey use the rate to sell pounds instead of of using the rate to buy pounds on OANDA....with just a few naira difference he was denied....even the Bible say be slow to speak and be quick to listen.... Thanks for your matured reply...

That's good, we all need to calm down

I beg to defer, I did my TB test today and got my certificate today and it was manual booking and no mail was sent to me. Almost everyone that did today got theirs, except for some very few persons that concluded theirs around past 5pm. They were asked to come for cert on Monday.
The strategy is in the ability to do the test before 2pm, that gives them ample time to process the certificate, cos the test analysis is done in Kenya and Manila.

I did mine around 2pm and the doctor said to come back on monday by 12pm (I plan to go earlier).

That is just my experience, and the advice is so they can plan well and not get their hopes up.

If I may ask was your name on the main list? Because most of who did early manual booking last month didn't have our names on it, they had to bring the raw list out.

Zimzee:
She was offered msc health, safety and environment

Congrats to her, seems her course takes lower qualifications with working experience.

Mine required Bachelors alone with a specific area of study

msreniy:
Not sure about this. I have a contrary position. Manual booking + same day certificate is possible.

That's just my experience, most of us that did manual booking last month, our names were not on the main list, they had to bring out the manual booking list

We did our test late therefore were asked to come back on Monday, another person can have a different experience like @Zimzee , I'm just telling them to plan for it so they won't be stranded, I saw someone who was stranded yesterday, he came from Ife and prepared for same day collection.

Simple advice to those that have not done their TB test, regardless of the time of your appointment, go there early, they mix up the names and appointment so you might be lucky to go in earlier than your appointment time.

Also, if you didn't receive an email after doing the manual booking, except God does a miracle, forget about collecting your certificate the same day, this is for those coming from outside Lagos.

This is what I experienced today

Zimzee:
University of South Wales, Edinburgh Napier accepts HND. I met someone today at TB test center Lagos that got offer from these two uni with her HND.

Are you sure about Edinburgh Napier? What course? Because the general requirement on the school website is a Bachelor's degree.

Ps. I'm a Napier aspirant

Verifiedlu:
Good evening....But how does your response answer my question? Don't u think I am aware of paying deposit or meeting the conditions of my offer? I have three offers from different uni already and I am trying to decide which to settle for so believe me, I know what I am doing....Can someone else wisely help me with my concern please

Funny there is no mention of a pre cas interview on the school website, here is also a link to a guide to applying for your student visa, there you would find possible questions you would be asked in a credibility interview. The Questions are no different from what you would be asked if there was a pre cas interview

https://www.ulster.ac.uk/global/apply/visas-and-immigration/i-need-a-tier-4-visa/applying-for-tier-4-visa-from-outside-the-uk

I found these from a simple google search

He is actually right and his advice is valid, fulfill the condition of your offer and pay the deposit.

If you read thread, you will see where it is stated that universities do send pre-cas interview guide to students so they can prepare.

Sometimes calm down and not dismiss people anyhow

oladimeji69:
You can use the one generated online. That's what I use from my GTB and I got the visa
It has your name, address, account number, bank name, bank logo, stamp and signature. it actually met the requirement

Thanks, mine has everything aside from the stamp
I'll just go to print a stamped one at the bank to be on the safe side

scobyy2007:
GTB statement works. I believe if ur online statement has a stamp and signature u are good to go!!!!

It doesn't, it even has "Draft statement" written on it

looks like I'll have to find the time to go to the bank, these IOM people just ruined my schedule for the week

Even though the Gov website stated it doesn't need to be stamped, best to be on the safe side and get a stamped one

Dumebi213:
I saw this on gov.uk site now, does this mean I can use the draft statement I print from my online banking ��, it has everything here including the logo of the bank

Because my schedule this week is looking choked, I might not have time to go and queue at the bank to print the statement.

My 28 days completed today

@scobyy2007 @justwise

Melahou:
Any idea how I can book biometric for the whole family?

Is it through "walk in" ?

Because my agent seems to be confused

Based on what has been said previously on this thread

Book on TLS for all of you, pick whatever date is available then go for walk in after

You'll pay 42k per person at the center

Preshyi:
Someone can do the test in Lagos and travel from Abuja right?

I'm not sure, that's why I asked if he was doing his in Lagos too

Justyno301:
Yes I did..I am not sure yet...how many days before I flight time can I do COVID test? I need to know this so I can figure out when to book my flight to Abuja pls

Depends but it's generally 72hr/48hrs before travel

Justyno301:
Yes I will go 2days before my flight. I have family in Abuja

You really saved a lot them, do you plan to do your covid test in Lagos?

Justyno301:
Mehn u are a life saver..thanks I just booked my flight through wakanow..I paid in naira...Abuja to Edinburgh..378k
Lagos to Edinburgh na 750k...had to run for my dear life..saved 370k

correct, just go to Abuja a day before your flight, avoid same day flight, ooh, Nigerian Airlines are not trustworthy when it comes to flight delay and cancellation

Flakyqueen:
��..prices of ticket are too high... gurus in the house please who booked a cheap flight ticket recently..please kindly send contact..and also how do I get student fair discount

I had a chat with an agent last week and even with student discounts, Virgin Atlantic is still 500k+

someone here posted yesterday that flights a way cheaper on BA if you are going from Abuja, that's an option you could explore

if you have 1800 GBP to quarantine you can take Qatar and the likes, they are cheap (This is a joke ooh, please always check if the country any connecting flight will be passing through is in the red list)

Zimzee:
My appointment is 17th as well and it was a manual booking, I will be there tomorrow morning.

Yh, I called to confirm, although it took about 4 calls and me having to explain that I can't remember the date

for those that have done the test, all I need to take is my passport and evidence of payment right?

Kenny4smart:
Brother obviously you are going to University of Bradford, can you please help me with this? The school requests that its prospective students makes a further payment after the initial deposit of 2k pounds to bring the total amount of annual tuition fee paid to 50% during enrollment..

Now, in the event that this initial deposit of 2k pounds have been paid and I'm unable to bring the total amount paid to 50% due to limited finance during the enrollment at Bradford. WHAT IS MY FATE?

Please, I need urgent clarification on this and possibly from University of Bradford students themselves as I'm about to make the initial deposit but from the look of things don't have the funds to bring the total tuition fee to 50% at arrival over there.

Omo this is quite tough, I think you should read the university website and their policy on fees

Generally, you might not be able to enroll as a student which might mean subsequent removal from the UK in the event you are unable to hold your student status.

Anyways I might be wrong, I'll wait for more experienced people to reply

Flakyqueen:
Please how much is flight now from Lagos to heathrow..all prices I am seeing online are too much..please help a sister..I need to book urgently

500k plus, it's peak summer period flights are expensive

Babygal1990:
@justwise and gurus in the house pls come to my aid, I got me visa today and the entry date was 25 08 2020 and valid until 25 11 2020 instead of year 2021. I have sent UKVI a paid email and I’m waiting for there responses, should I take it back to TLS?

You are the second person to complain about this today, omo

Anyways, gov.uk website states that any error on visa vignette should be reported to your VAC so yes, you might need to take it back to TLS

nuttyhnic:
Mine was 30days...you have any idea if it could be an issue

I don't think you have any problem, I plan to print 30days (unintentional though, as my 28 days completes on a weekend)

ugomnaanny:
thanks alot.... I got it at TLS VI , so I should take it there?

Since that is your VAC, yes
