My dear friend, it ain't the DVD its the recording format, unless you buy a double sided DVD, you need to look for a good DVD recording software to compress your DVD unto your normal Empty DVD, I will look for one to give you via link for free.

IncaGold:
yea right, old man indeed!
Was only kidding, let me cross check with my dad, but i think i was in kindergarten (KG 3) school then. Not sure.

lol U sure, show your picture nah for your profile, look my profile you can see mine, I B small boy still, anyway no long thing

IncaGold:

[size=5pt]Just kidding[/size]

ah 85? I was in primary 6 then, how old you B, chey man you OLD

duksyjay:
no probs mate,so which of u dude is going for masters.holla

Duno mate def not me, did mine 2001 and have been working here in the Uk since then.I think its the other guy

duksyjay:
after i got your msg erico2k2 i was wonderin aswell because i knew it shuldnt affect people going for masters so to get my facts right i had to go to their office at oregun and i was told that it doesnt affect.

thanks mate

Nice one brov, that info is priceless.

IncaGold:
@erico2k2,
Please stop misleading people. Short term is 6months or less! A masters programme clearly does not fall into the short-term category.
Get your facts right so you don't misinform people any further, CAPISE!

Any course longer than 6months is regard as LONG TERM
"A new Student Visitor category was introduced for short term students who wish to study in the UK for six months or less but who do not wish to take part-time employment or seek an extension to their student visitor leave; visitors are no longer allowed to enter the UK to undertake a course of study";
source: www.ukvisas.gov.uk

@duksyjay,
ignore erico2k2, short term doesnt affect MASTERS PROGRAM, effectively a masters program is LONG TERM.

Hey my guy, why cant you just contribute without being dismissive?, I was only saying waht I think is right and if you bother to read all I said to that guy, you would notice I also advised him to ring the BMC instead basing his next line of action on advice from here and he should let us know what they said,An FYI, you are telling me anything more than 6 months is a long term study abi? did you or are you studying here in the UK?I advice you to pick one of the Uni bronchurs and see what they class as long term and short term degree courses OK!I might be wrong but just check.

duksyjay:
so erico2k2 you saying peeps going for a masters degree are also affected.

Yes for now cos its short term.But you know you can actually ring the BHC where you are and hear it from the horse's mouth to clear you mind, you get me, and if you do Plz post the outcome here for others to see.

duksyjay:
Hi everyone

On this UK visa tingy,i want to knw if it does or not affecting people going for a masters degree because in there info it was stated that there would be visa services for long term students.

Hope to get a reply from u guys soon.

Cheers

My friend Long term=Long term, full university degree not 1 or 2 years program

My friend buy a new one, these motherboard do not have servisable parts, so if the came off a PC chances are they aint working again, bu a use bundle thats working, ie one with CPU,Fan,heat sink Ram ,cos this things I mentioned are high personalised to individual mother board.

there ain't no point to be dismissive,why don't you go to the BHC in Nigeria's website and click on the latest news and updates and see what it says,its not as if I'm applying for VISA or need to do 4 anyone but go to the website and read your own meaning to what was said, stop quoting people, air your own opinion, might be usefull to others
btw, we where not dismissive to femigirl, she only aired her own understanding from that site, so we all cool like that

fimigirl I just realised you dont know the VISA are only issued in Abuja and Lagos,these are theHigh comission and the Deputy High commissions, others are just application centres set up to enhance the fingerprinting and digital registration process.

chinesedoll:
my question is why is that news  no longer on the site

what site, you mean theBHC in Nigeria's site?

Man its a serious situation sote guys dey carry mama go meet thier mama to marry back home leave KOKOLETs here eh all in the name of kpali, we for SE london dey wait oh, if U see two dud sit for one place nah the matter dem dey talk about lol

chinesedoll:
am waitin patiently 2 see what their new invention would be

I think they want to impliment this planned procidure where by if you get diported you have to wait 5 years to re apply to enter if you got no criminal convictions but if you do its 10 years
and if you go home at your own will it will take one year to re apply even if you get britico when come marry you there self, you no see setlement VISA priceN130K these guys wan kill person oh!

any whichway, that screeshot is from her site,Man nah wa oh  these britico them mean Biz, once the system come up back and running you would find out they have ammended something and introduced a new policy, look what happen with fingerprinting for all VISA applying persons. do you know they increased  all VISA fess by 49%

yes I think so too, cos that site aint realy from the Uk high commision, its third party,here is a screenshot from there

Nigeria: closure of visa application centres in Abuja and Lagos (14/07/2008)
Due to a technical failure, the British High Commission in Abuja and British Deputy High Commission in Lagos is not able to offer a full visa service to our customers in Nigeria.

From 10 July 2008, the visa application centres in Abuja, Ibadan, Ikeja and Victoria Island will only accept applications from the following categories for onward submission to the Visa Section at the British High Commission in Abuja:  

Urgent and compassionate cases (e.g. medical treatment);
Returning residents;
Fast Track applicants (not including those applying under the auspices of the Business Express Programme);
Settlement for Children or urgent/compassionate settlement cases;
EEA Family Permits;
Diplomats and Officials;
DATV and transit visitors;
Applications supported by British Council and DfID (although I suspect most of these are submitted at the High Commission directly);
Long Term Students.
The reduction in our service is only a temporary measure and we hope to restore a full service to our Nigerian customers as soon as possible.  The British High Commission apologises for any inconvenience caused by this disruption.  

Customers who have already submitted their applications before 09 July 2008 to the visa application centres in Abuja and Ibadan should not be effected by this disruption.
