MrsDaniels:

Hey MrsDaniels,hw u? Was able to sort it out. Thanks for your help, but I had to start another application since I hadn't paid for the first one. Have now paid for IHS, left with Visafee

justwise:
Lol...very few people can say that here .

Even me I love u oooo, even as u dey beef me. Diaris God oooo

MrsDaniels:

Yes and i think even justwise has mentioned here too in his subsequent posts. You can correct with pen or type or write a short cover letter telling the vo that there is an error on ur dob when you printed it out that the actual dob is so so and so. Simple if this second option makes u more better. Its allowed cos thats why u see them courier those application forms with ur oda supporting documents to the Uk for processing, thats the only way to correct as you cant correct it again after online submission. Write it neatly on an A4 sheet explaining just as have said to show the discrepancy in ur dob. All the best dear!

Please who do I address it to? Have been so confused. Couldn't sleep through the night. Been awake thinking my head out. cc MrsDaniels

MrsDaniels:
Printout your document and make correction with a pen your correct Dob, the visa officer will know its a mistake. Before you submit it at the VAC.

Sure? Will it be allowed? Am at Abuja at the moment and wana book appointment for friday. Please correcting with a pen is it allowed? Wanna be sure. cc: MrsDaniels

Guys, i need assistance ooo. I tried booking and what i saw under my date of birth is 12 September 2016, then i went back and corrected but when i try to apply, it still reflects as 2016. What do i do please? I have confirmed the booking cos of that.
cc: olowob, justwise, mrsdaniels, chucksbenin, spikesc... and the gurus. help oooo

MrsDaniels:
Yes dear total i paid today was 477, 146k for both visa fees+Ihs+ Priority visa fee thou i calculated with the blackmarket rate for dollars and pounds and also my programme is 18mnths so it could ard 400plus some figures for yours @smartoes. My interview is on friday morning dear @hormolarry and thanks a bunch for the wishes i appreciate; Smartoes return the money back and if you wish to pay for the 24hour visa priority fees they would still confirm your bank statement.

Hey MrsDaniels,how you? All the best to you. Just had my TB test and have gotten the result. By this night,I will complete my application.

MrsDaniels:
Of cos one would def be working. Well i feel one way ticket raising of eyebrow cud be a prob for first timers going to the Uk abi Justwise. And not for subsequent travellers. And i think one gotta pay some more money for extension of flights to a more suitable date . Anyway never extended flights before. And justwise what if ones Masters program is 21months thats approximately 2yrs plus d extra 4mnths Added to the visa, i.e extended Msc program and not the normal 1yr program would u still advice u do return ticket?@soulhighman are u in the uk already? And justwise happy sunday to you. @fizzile howfar ve u gotten ur visa? Wishing myself and everyone here the very best in our visa applications.

Hey MrsDaniels, really been a while. Not yet but am done with d 28day count. Waiting for my CAS then do the needful. How about you?

fizzile:
Just as the thread relates to how Nigerian students in the UK cope, please I wana ask a few questions.

(1) Presently for those going soon or those who have just arrived UK,please how can one best handle maintenance bearing in mind the current exchange rate? Getting PTA is difficult and getting from black marketers is just out of it. Apart from withdrawing with the mastercard, what other means can you suggest?

(2) Secondly how many of you have heard of afrotradegroup? Heard one can transfer money from Nigeria to UK through them. If u have used them,how efficient and reliable are they?

Expecting responses.

Please i need some responses

Go Go Go Go!!!
Wish you all the best bro

Thank boss

woooww!!! Goodnews everywhere. So happy to witness these success stories. Am next in line by God's grace. 28th day complete. Time to print. What a wait.

CSSPATRICK:
Hello @ everyone on this forum. I want to first of all thank you guys for the kind of informative posts and comments u make here. Kudos for the good job.

I have few questions please.

I want to know if anyone here have had his tier 4 visa application processed recently within 10 working days without paying for the so called priority service.

Secondly, from experience gathered so far, what can you say that the rate of UK visa rejection is like and the predominant reasons.

Thirdly, I will like to I identify with anyone heading to or already in Newcastle. Need some info about travelling arrangements and stuffs like that.

Kindly PM me,

Thank you.

Its unfortunate that your are seeking for help here but yet condemning the priority service. what makes you think its "so-called"? don't worry when time comes you will know if its so called or not. cheers.

Yababoy:
Thanks for this. I was able to make a token withdrawal of GBP70 at 507 to a pound today. I was constrained by the daily limit of USD100.

The daily limit for GTB ATM withdrawal is $300 and not $100.

Yababoy:
Who has information about this Afrotrade people. Are they genuine and how does the process work? Urgently, need to get pounds now.

They are genuine. A couple of people use them a lot. U will register online, then fill out a form to transfer funds,then u will be given their bank accounts, once u pay in into the account, u will now instruct them to transfer d pounds equivalent to a UK account.

Brianchike:
Oga no vex, when I tried paying for the priority with a different card it kept declining until I used the card I had earlier used for the previous transactions. It's just cautionary.

Maybe the fault is from the card. Probably the card isn't yet activated for online transactions.

Brianchike:
N361050 but the exchange rate keeps going up. It's messed up

Hey Brianchike, is this amount based on GTBank card rate?

Wow!! Just heard Monday and Tuesday are public holidays. How do I sort this out? Still haven't gotten my CAS which takes a few days to be sent, hope to print my statement by thursday and hopefully be in Abuja next week for TB test and Interview. Hope to pay for priority, cos start date is 26th.
How do I strategize at this point? Abeg make una suggest. This one wan scatter my head.
*Did I just hear TB test fee has been increased?

Yababoy:
I wish all those that are waiting for their results good tidings. I just arrived at the school today and already settling in. Is anyone coming to Heriot Watt university or any school in Edinburgh.

. Yababoy, nice to hear you arrived safely. Please could u post your experience from the point you left Nigeria,down to your POE (point of entry) and arroval. Not forgetting a couple of things u went along with. I know say u no fit waka witot yaba garri. We will really appreciate as it will help a couple of other people.

Did I just hear that cost of TB test has increased to 47500. Has anyone paid lately for that?

Whatamidoinghere:
The rate doesn't fluctuate??

Forgot to mention that its dollar am talking about. As for d fluctuation its normal but depends. For diamond bank,atm rate for a dollar was 373 between wednesday and thursday but as at yesterday it was 368.

Whatamidoinghere:
I think someone stated here he paid 80k, through card tho not cash.

It might be lesser if u use diamond bank debit card. As at ystdy, their card rate is 368 compared to gtb that is 380. cc: MrsDaniels

Walspring this one pass root oooo.,dem don even buy latest iphone dey watch the guy oooo. Some dey use projector dey monitor dey guy. D dude has to contact dickoflife for proper deliverance from that "root". With dat kind profile and not even quarter abii half funding. Cheeiii devil na member of Avengers

Furus:
I have been using them over 5 years they are very efficient. I used them to pay my fees and then it was just slightly above bank rate. The rate was 489 last week

Yeah from my research and thorough information,they are genuine and reliable. So u can confidently recommend them,right?
cc: furus

soulhighman:
@ Furus, does afrotrade also help in sending money to naija accounts at some rate close ti black market rates?

@soulhighman,yes they do. I called their number and also confirmed that. As at today,sending money from UK to Nigeria is 502naira for a pound.

Hey guys,how you all doing? Please have you guys heard of afrotradegroup? Just got to know about it from the Student Union President at Coventry Uni.,and he told me a couple of them over there receive money through the transfer agency. I had to go through the site and put a call across to the office in the UK to get a few info. From the info I got from the President and the Office aswell, you register free on the platform and if u wana send money, u fill a form on the site and pay in the Naira amount while the Pounds equivalent is paid into your UK account after confirmation.
As at today, the office informed me that their rate is 517 to a pound which is way better than the black market rate of 535 as at this afternoon. From the look of things, getting a PTA seems almost impossible and using the Mastercard with the whole limit issue is worrisome.
So I wana ask those in the UK, have u also heard of afrotradegroup? Does it seem a good deal?
