Hello everyone, please if i get a mail like this from noreply@fcdos.gov.uk “we are unable to make a decision on your application within published visa processing times. for up-to-date information on processing times,…” after submitting the additional documents they requested for just a day after. Is it a good sign or a bad sign ? By the way I sent the document few hours after they requested for it

It’s not a bad sign,you just have to be patient

AyanfeJesu2026:
Please how do navigate this:

I was asked to provide evidence of source of POF, please what can I do?

In a case like this,you probably submitted your bank statement showing when the money entered your account…nevertheless an investment certificate can clear this issue,it has happened to several persons before and that’s what they did or else you have an alternative then that’s fine

Giftedmilli:

They normally give cas on time unless this is a recent development
Ohh well just keep on sending them mails to remind them of situation

Dimmy1997:

gymlordd:

Colley:
Hi everyone,
I have my funds in grey app and I plàn to use grey account statement as my pof for student visa.

Will my visa be refused if I use it?

Or should I move the fund to a Nigeria bank account?

Who has gotten a student visa while using grey app statement of account as pof?

No you have to put have the money in a Nigerian bank on your name

Charlex23:
Please I do have an important question. I recently got to understand that Ukvi now Conduct interviews for potential students. Just to be sure if this interview is mandatory for everyone at the moment or they randomly select who would be interviewed.

It’s randomly selected

Giftedmilli:
Please can someone guide me on this; does it require to do POF twice while applying for pre-cas interview and application for visa? I will be grateful for your response, thanks!

No you don’t need to do pof twice
You can extend the pof and use it also for your visa application

Tolezy001:
Through the school portal

Then it’s correct

PremiumTrends:
Thank you for your feedback.
Putting the money in my account without a narration won’t raise any questions during my Pre CAS interview and Visa application right?

Yes cause you will print the statement from a day after the money entered so they won’t see when the money entered

PremiumTrends:
Hello everyone, I need advice.

My family wants to support me with the proof of funds from their pockets. The question is, what should the narration be?
The bulk sum is coming from one person and about two people are sending smaller amounts like 5M each. What narration should these two people use?

I appreciate your input on this please, thank you.

Hello
So since youre keeping the money in your account till it matures,you don’t really need a narration cause you will be printing starting from a day after the money entered your account counting till the date it matures

Charlex23:
I’m currently applying for Mres chemistry at the university of Plymouth, I’m curious as to why you’re of the opinion that Mres route is more complex as compared to the regular master’s. Do you mind throwing more light?

It’s obvious that people mainly applied for an Mres course because of the option that allows you to take your dependants,now it’s becoming complex because it takes more time to get an Mres offer compared to getting a normal MSc offer so it’s advisable to plan for both so you don’t miss out totally except your priority is to take your dependants along

Tolezy001:
Please i tried using flywire to pay for my tuition deposit and the bank they provided for the transfer is moniepoint when I tried making the transfer the account name was monnify checkout. I had to cancel the transfer because I was skeptical about it. I want to ask if that's normal or not because millions of naira is involved I have to be very careful.

Where did you go to generate the flywire option

Tolezy001:
Please I need help urgently on this guys

You can use payment platforms like flywire and convera

Fraih:
Pls how much is deposit for Hull

4,350

AKAyomide:
Please house. I am deeply lost and want guidance to put me on the right track. I withdraw my application for MSc at the University of Hall due to some errors I made while applying. I want to know if it will be cool to create another account with a personal email address to reapply for admission for the same course I applied for before my application was withdrawn by me. Secondly, I am a bit confused and I will surely want someone to share with me an academic CV for postgraduate as a Nigerian format. I have been seeing different styles of the resume but I am a bit skeptical. I will be glad if I get an audience with a peace-minded mind to guide me.

It’s fine that you made a mistake in withdrawing an application,if you choose to create a new account for hull you would need to use a different email for the new account

Also for the cv,depending on the template you need I can send you a temple that is widely acceptable or you can use chat gpt to arrange something for yourself,either of them is fine

Racheal45:
Please how much proof of funds do I need in my account

Depending on the remaining tuition after scholarship and deposit payment and then living expenses in the city where your school is located for 9months

cjay105:
Good evening everyone..please I will be printing my statement of account next week for my application, I want to know if I can use the one printed from my online app or I have to go inside the bank to print it out

It’s important that the bank statement is signed in most cases so if that’s the case for your online app then it’s fine

Jadue:
Please I want to ask, if one selected self upload and they have 2 passport , an old one that is expired and current new one that they have uploaded all the pages on the vfs website
When going for biometrics shey it is only the document checklist, appointment letter and the current new passport the person would take
The old one does not need to be given at biometrics right

Only your appointment letter and your current passport is needed at the biometrics centre

AKAyomide:
Hello everyone. I want to know how long the University of Hall takes to reply to an application for the 2026 September intake. I decided to ask to be aware of how long it always takes to get feedback from the university after submitting an application.

2 weeks max

liftmeGod:
Good afternoon my senior people,
Please l want to ask any university that accepts masters in research for my wife ,so that l can be a dependent to her.

Also ,is uk embassy given visa to masters in research with independent

3. Please we need a cheap universities

Aston university
Birmingham university
Hull university
University of central lancashire

One thing I would say about the Mres student route is that it is more complex than any other student route right now and your chances of getting an offer is not 100% guaranteed but then you can proceed if you choose to,i just need you to be aware that it’s more complex than any normal Msc program do you don’t put all your hopes there

Also for the second question,Yes they give visas to dependant a through the Mres route but you have to sure that the school you are applying to allows dependants for the masters by research course you’re interested in…

[quote author=Chima60 post=137012106][/quote]Studying in Hull actually gives students a fair chance to work and support themselves, though what you find often depends on your course and the type of job you want. The University of Hull has a solid careers service that guides students on CVs, interviews, internships, and even graduate roles. There are also opportunities within the school through the Students’ Union or on-campus jobs which are usually easier to balance with studies.
For part-time work,most students usually get roles in supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, or as tutors.The pay may not be as high as what you’d see in London or Manchester,but hull is much more affordable to live in asides the London campus so you can still manage comfortably. International students also get chances, even though there are limits on the number of hours you can work. With steady applications and a bit of flexibility, it’s possible to secure something to keep you going.
In terms of career prospects after graduation, Hull is developing well in areas like healthcare, logistics, renewable energy, and digital technology. Students in these fields, or those who take advantage of placements and internships, usually do well. That said, if you’re aiming for higher-paying professional roles, you might eventually need to look at opportunities in bigger UK cities.
Overall, I would say hull is not a bad place at all for students who are willing to put in effort. If you make use of the university’s resources, apply widely, and take every chance to gain experience, you can balance school with work and also prepare yourself for better opportunities after graduation.
