1) How much is TB test today?
2) what documents do they need to take with them to the TB test?
3) What documents can they apply with during visa application. Now that I am here?

Thanks

Hello Fam,

PLEASE I NEED ACCOMMODATION AT SHEFFIELD O! All the agents have contacted e.g Zoopla, rightmove, onthemarket, amberstudents do not have apartment for family. My wife will be traveling next week with a kid...

PLEASE HELP!!

@FieryJoe

Hello, pls did you apply for your family at the same time or after you have received your visa or arived the UK.

I am about to apply for my wife and one of my children but I need to be sure:

- Which accomodation to fill in the form. The family I currently stay with or the School?

- What is the right PoF to calculate because I am staying with a family 1 hour away from London where my school is?

Your reply will be appreciated.

Good morning good people. Thanks for all you counsels. It's been very helpful.

God bless us all.

I will be concluding my quarantine today.

I want to start the process to move my family and will appreciate you guidance ones again.

My wife and 4 kids.

1) Due to resources, can I take my wife and my 13year old first? Leaving 10, 8 and 6 (there passport is yet to be ready any way)

2) Which address do I fill for them as I currently manage with a family that has paper.
(Note: The family is staying 1hr away from London while my school is in London).

3) If I am permitted to put the address of the family I currently manage with, can I use the town's POF or I use London POF? Remember my school is in London.

Your quick response will be well appreciated.

@Justwise and all gurus in the house.

Pls did anyone use Air Maroc to enter for Student Visa for the first time?

I learnt it has shorter time and affordable but I don't want any issue either.

Qatar air seem to be very high at the moment with long layovers too.

I will glad if someone can give other perfect recommendations to. I don't want a flight that will be flagged unnecessarily.

Pls who has used Asky Airline? It's private airline in Togo.

Togo is under UK amber list.

1) Can I use Asky Airline?

My alternative is KLM but the price is about N150 different. I want to avoid Qarter since price is similar to KLM.

2) Do I need transit Visa for KLM, do I intend to Kay over with the airport.

Your advice will be appreciated.

It is allowed if they have adequate space. You must have their address and phone number ready, as they may decide to call them.

Thanks for your prompt response.

Pls, hope this won't be an issue because I filled in my visa application form that I don't have family in UK.

My School is at Greenwich but the family is at Medway.

@Eldersege
Please which school is this? How many days did it take to get your CAS. Did it jump from 69% to CAS issued? I’m in 52% and it’s taking forever. I just sent them a message like you suggested.

University of Greenwich. Keep sending a reminder. But if you have an agent. Inform him/her.

Hellodayo:
Terrible is an understatement. The list we wrote this morning got torn by the tls official. Most of us that got there very early were not able to do walk in cus the crowd was crazy and people refused to form a single queue. The TLS official was hinting something about walk in will be reduced because some allegations were made against them to the embassy blah blah sha
In a simpler term: walk in is now survival of the strongest.

@hellodayo. Thanks for the info. We you advice we still go very early tomorrow like 1am for walk-in?

Can anyone help with the closest hotel within the neighborhood?

@eldersege please did you send an email or a call through to them before they sent you your CAS. Mine is still on 60%

I sent them email twice. Especially the Nigerian representative.

I also sent a message through the CAS sheild. (I will be grateful if my CAS is sent so that I can start the processing of my visa. Thanks). I received (ok) as replay on my CAS shield.

I suggest you try it too.

My CAS shield jumped from 61% to 69% then CAS came.

Good luck.

I just received my CAS yesterday after 20days of waiting.

My resumption date is Sept 13th.

I am currently filing the visa application. I am going for PRIORITY.

Gurus in the house, pls I need urgent help on how to speedy things up.

1) what cheaper and faster genuine way can I load dollar card?

2) will I be required to pay for walk-in? How much and is it with cash? Though I don't know what walk-in means.

3) Can I go early to register my information at TLS Ikeja to secure a place against Tuesday even before I conclude my VISA application?
Note: what is delaying submission is that I have not loaded the dollar card I want to apply with.

4) What information do I need to take along to book at TLS?

I will appreciate your urgent response.

Thanks.

Please someone help.. does the TB test come before the visa application or can it be done anytime you want? secondly what is the state of the TB test centre in Lagos, how does one get a date, can I just go there physically, and what time please? is 10am - 11am ok?

Go there early (6:30am). Be ready to transfer/pay N58,800 to their stipulated account. Go with whatever evidence that can show that you are despirate.

You need the test for visa application.

Best or luck.

Thank you. If you have all your required documents including your CAS and TB certificate for all 3 of you, POF in your account or your husband account and others. Yes you can apply together however I didn't do mine like that. I applied for myself first (priority-was out in 5 working days) then for my family afterwards (standard-was out in 8 working days).

@Kenny2011.

Thanks for the enlightenment.

I intend to process my visa (priority) first too before I apply for my family.

I will like to ask:

1) Did you use same account you used for your own PoF for your family?

If yes, did they are not say you repeated same fund?

2) What is the time interval between when you got your visa and when you applied for your family?

3) Where you interview. If yes, they they ask why you didn't take your family with you (even though you knew you will apply for them after you receive your visa?

Thanks for your anticipated replay.

Hi everyone. Pls I scheduled TB test online and i got a date very far. Pls how do I go about it going to the office to get a closer date or backdate

Go to IOM office around midday, see how you can enter to reschedule your date. Be ready to struggles a while. When you enter, you will be asked why you need the date move. Tell them its admission purpose.

All the best.

Pls I need urgent advice from the gurus in the house.

I am married with 4 children, the eldest is 13.

I am going for my MA.

I want to know if it is proper to apply for visa with my wife and my elderst child who is 13yrs?

Someone said that embassy might say we are not responsible parents for leaving the younger children.

I intend to send for the other children 10, 8 and 6yrs after a few months.

Pls what do I do as my personal POF has started counting already.

Thanks.
