Many thanks for this write-up, it was helpful.
But ,what if an applicant doesn't perform well at the Pre-cas questionnaire or credibility interview (God forbid),will the school refund the initial tuitIon deposit paid? What should we expect and prepare for the Pre-cas interview.kindly put me through.

NaughtyBrainiac:
Hello Chiamaka and others that need this,

Let me make your work easier.

1. You apply to schools using:

a. Your first degree certificate ( BSc or HND)
b. Transcript
c. Biodata page of International Passport
d. CV
e. Referees
f. Statement of Purpose

2. You are offered Conditional admission or Unconditional admission ( Conditional in most cases).
For Conditional, you will be requested to provide some additional documents in order to get Unconditional offer. e.g Official Transcript, Scratch card to confirm your WAEC Engish Language grade online etc

3. You will make Tuition deposit payment if you are okay with the school. This can be done via form A or by paying using a domiciliary account debit card. Form A is cheaper but takes between 3 weeks and 10 weeks. For a Tuition Deposit of £4k, you can save up to N900,000 if you use form A.

4. You will go for Tuberculosis Test at IOM. There is Lagos center and Abuja Centre. The cost is N57,800 for 11 years and above. N21,320 or so for children below 11 years.

5. There's something called Poof of Fund. This is your Tuition Balance + Living expenses in the UK.

Living Cost for London:
Main Applicant is £1334 × 9months
Dependant is £845 × 9months

Living Cost outside London:
Main Applicant is 1023 × 9months
Dependant is 680 × 9months

Let's calculate POF for a student outside London with Total Tuition of £14 and Tuition Deposit of £4k.
Remember that POF is Tuition Balance + Living Cost
£10,000 + £9207 = £19,207

To get the naira value, you use the OANDA currency converter. Just search OANDA on Google.

Using an OANDA rate of Let's say 510 naira per pound, we have 19207 × 510 = N9,795,570. You can approximate your POF to be N11,000,000.

This means that you must maintain a minimum of 11m in your account for at least 28 days before you apply for visa.

6. After Tuition Deposit Payment is confirmed by the school, the school issues Unconditional Admission Offer after you must have provided required documents.

7. You begin CAS process by undergoing Credibility Check. This is a check conducted by the school to confirm if you are a genuine student.
Some schools call it CAS questionnaire, Some call it Pre-cas interview etc

8. If you provide satisfactory responses, you will be issued a statement or document called Condition of Acceptance for Studies (CAS). This is somewhat the most important document in this journey. It is what shows that a licensed school is sponsoring you to school in the UK.
[b]If your responses are not satisfactory, you will NOT be issued CAS and your admission offer will be withdrawn (you will be given more than one attempt)

9. Visa Application.

You will be scheduled for biometrics( Not visa interview) after filling the online application form and paying IHS and VISA fees.
IHS is Insurance Health Surcharge for your health insurance while in the UK.
IHS is £705 for one year per person
Visa is £363 per person

There are 3 centres for biometrics capturing in Nigeria. Abuja TLS, Ikeja TLS and VI TLS

10. Travel to the UK after visa is issued.

This is a summary of A-Z process. Sleep don dey catch me, I wan go sleep

He committed suicide as a result of low esteem or abusive and discouraging words from the parents which he couldn't handle..too bad.No matter life pressure,suicide is never an option

These politicians are really wicked, this man is talking trash

I have checked it.

Walealoba:
sir please check my signature I need little help from you

Sendo 200....no 9

Pls what's the name of your school?

LH44:
I think it depends on the school. Mine did not request for anything other than my deposit.

And in addition to this,will the school refund the initial tuitIon deposit paid??

bastardson:
I am concerned about the fact that he has already made deposit.. The few application I did, the SOP was requested during the application process.. So why give admission when you are not satisfied with the SOP

Okay, thanks for this

bigtt76:
Your student visa application success is not based on your previous travel history but rather you fulfilling the requirements of the visa. See here https://www.herts.ac.uk/international/new-international-students/coming-to-the-uk/applying-for-your-visa/student-route-visa-guidance for what it means.

Pls,can you highlight the points?

bigtt76:
Student visa is a point based visa - travel history or not, you need to get the points complete and travel history is not part of it.

Academic

HollyMadison:
Hi people,

Please of the university asks for ielts for ukvi before issuing unconditional offer,


should we do general or academic ielts?

Who?

Kosoco:
Lol ... looks like someone

Oh my....when will Nigeria rest from all these unpleasant occurrences.

We cannot continue like this as a nation,By now,in a sane country,we should massively protest against the insecurity in the land,but instead we are fighting ourselves over tribalism or ethnicism and religion because of our nonchalant attitude, I fear that soon,the bandits will overrun this nation,and by then,there will be no hiding place for all. it's so sad to see this country in this mess

Haba,this is too harsh bro.You don't need to generalize.

Antimarraige:
Hahaha very very good, serves the idiot right. No marry they no go hear. If your marraige is from 2010 to date you are a foolish man.

That song ' Jehovah sees' always inspire me.I never knew he sang this song. Rest in the bossom of your creator till we meet at Jesus feet.

Thank you so much for your sincere response sir.

xxsandyxx:
Uk is easier and faster but Canada has better prospects. You can read through the thread to know how to go.about it. I would suggest you do your application yourself for either of the countries. All the best.

Please somebody should assist me in responding to this,help a soul

This is tragic.may God rest their souls

Personally,I like Peter obi but he will not win even a state in this nation.Nigeria politics is deeper than you can imagine

Serves him right. How can you be whining and dining with the opposition.Friend of my enemy is also my enemy!

Handed over to the police for what?

These politicians are really annoying and shameless, they are so selfish and greedy

Ok, we don hear

APC,a house divided against itself cannot stand

It's likely that he will be warned not to talk about the matter again,and allow judiciary to do their work.

Berankis:
They want to silence him. Our Police are just an organised syndicates on their own.

Voice of the voiceless
I hope you will be released unhurt.
