Thank you. I sent a mail to TLS, I’m waiting for their response. I called UKVI and was charged almost 12k for the call. They informed me they will respond by mail within 15 working days. Whew!

Good, let’s see what they have to say.

chuksdewigs:
Lol.. you want to give them back the visa?
You shouldn't be worried anyways. As for the BRP, I believe you can sort it out when you arrive here.
Decision letter is not as important as the visa itself.

So congrats....

It’s not about giving them back the visa. The letter specifically states that it must be presented to the immigration officer. So yes, it’s very important too

towsyneladizl:
Hello all!
I have been following this thread for months and I got my visa approved sept 11th, biometrics aug 20. Ikeja Lagos center. I dint get a BRP mail or decision letter in my passport, however I got a tier 4 student visa. What can I do? Should I be worried?

Kindly assist

There should be a letter with your visa. Did you complain at the TLS center when you collected your passport?
You have to present the letter to the immigration officer when you arrive the UK.
Do reach out to TLS and UKVI if you haven’t done so

Yemsot:
Please o I want to tavel this Friday, do I have to do a COVID 19 test?

If you can o, to avoid stories that touch, please just do the test.

naledis:
You know exactly how it goes. I did ask an airport official and he said airport authorities are asking departing passengers for test results. It sounds ridiculous but looks like we have to give unto Caesar what is Caesar’s. Would have just been nice to not spend an avoidable N50,400

Like seriously o. But to avoid stories that touch, after all this wahala and processes someone has gone through and money spent, it will be better to just do it. Let them not chase person from village

Lawrence6:
Please can someone assist me on how i can track my visa application pls...tried reading previous pages.

Follow the link UKVI sent to you when you paid for your visa fee to the TLS site, You’ll see “Track” there

naledis:
I need to get clarification on this too. British Airways has confirmed that a covid test result is not mandatory but I would hate to get to the airport and authorities still demand one

Exactly! This is why I am asking. Cos it’s like Nigeria isn’t sure of what they want. Plus, you can’t trust airport officials. Small power like this and they’ll become gods

Congrats.

Did you travel from Nigeria? If yes, did they check for covid test certificate before you were allowed to check in?

BESTOFIT:
Good evening to everyone,...I submitted application July 31st, got appointment for Sept. 3 but did a walk-in on the 13th of August and got my Visa on the 31st of August. I arrived in the UK on Tuesday 8th of September via BA on a one way ticket @ #388k.

In case you are traveling, remember to fill the UK govt isolation contact online form required of you 48 hours before your flight.

I'm with my brother in Peterborough but my school is in Hull...which is about 2.5 hours from Peterborough. Fortunately for me, courses this semester so far will be online, hence I can hang around till things are better out there or when I'm ready.
A BIG shout out to the organisers of this forum,... Your views , instructions and leadings really helped out. Thanks.

Congrats

Are you traveling from Lagos or Abuja?

KOVIC19COVID20:
Welcome:::::::

Hello, please what airline did you use?
Also, did you travel from Nigeria? If you traveled from Nigeria, was a covid test required before you were allowed to board?

badtempest:
UK doesn’t require a covid test so you’re free to go. Only fill the form and isolate When you land. . If you’re using Emirates you’d need the covid rest because you’d stop in Dubai or so which requires the test. Basically it’s flight dependent for now.

Thanks a lot

Hello house,

I need clarification about traveling out to the UK and this covid 19 test.
Is it dependent on the country or the airline?
I’m traveling with BA and called their customer care and was told they only collect covid test result if the destination country requires it.
As at now, the UK hasn’t said anything on their site concerning that. It’s just to full the passenger locator form and self isolate for 14 days.

Please anyone with more information?

@EQUIOXYLUV,

I left Zenith as an EA in IC&A last November for KPMG after 9 months post NYSC in Zenith and i joined KPMG on 2nd level. Even though my take home pay in KPMG is less than what i take home in Zenith, i tell you KPMG is the best place to start a career. I work in Advisory in KPMG and i would be promoted to 3rd level by early October. Besides, there should be a pay review in October. KPMG remains the highest paid among the Big 4 firms.

The good thing about KPMG is that promotion is evry 12 months unlike Zenith that promotes every 18 months or more with the long hierarchy. In KPMG, you make Manager within 5 - 6 years. If u make an exceptional performance rating, you'ld get a double promotion. Infact i have a colleague that was 2 sets my Senior in school, he would e a MAnager come October 1. You move to 5 levels before Manager in KPMG evry 12 months.

Another good thing is that you get to work with different projects with different clients. You meet people, you about learn diverse processes and practices in different industries and companies.  KPMG will also sponsor you for MBA at Lagos Business School after 5 years.

A KPMG on your CV is a passport to becoming a potential MD, CFO, ED of a top company. Most of KPMG alumni are MDs, EDs, CFOs, DMDs, VPs, COOs, Group Heads in Top Nigerian companies today. And come to think of it, people leave KPMG after 3/4/5 years to become Managers in Investment Banks/Multinationals/Banks/Telecomms. If after my 2 years of joining KPMG, i want to go to an oil company, i would be offered about 15m in a Mobil/Total or a Chevron while my colleagues in Zenith will still be earning about 4.5/annum. I know someone who is leaving KPMG for an investment bank offering him total pack of 25m/annum.

SO THE BEST IS KPPPPPPPPPPPPPPMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG  oooooooooooooooooo
