Hello Mentors, I got an offer with a top Engineering and Management consulting firm, with a start date of 11th September 2023. They said they need to switch me to a skilled worker visa prior to my starting date. I just got a mail this morning, to submit all the necessary documents, that they will proceed with the visa application immediately. I started my MSc last year September so I will be graduating this September which is still 7-8months ahead. My question are: 1) Should I proceed with the application now or wait till closer to my course end date ? 2) They said they will cover the cost of visa fee but I'm expected to pay the IHS fee myself which is currently £625 x no of years ( however, they included a caveat that if I should inform them if I can't afford it) should I go ahead and informed them that I cannot afford it, will they offer to pay it on my behalf ? 3) My current student visa will expire 30th January 2024, which means I still have about 1year of IHS surcharge left. Will this be transferred or can I claim it back? 3 Likes

Magic1: Please don't see this my responses as rude, I type this with the utmost respect because I understand that Nigerians are easily provoked when you tell them the truth. If you ask this question on a thread like this, it simply means that you are not a PhD scholarship material. There are a lot of Nigerians on Youtube and Twitter who are creating steady contents on how to secure PhD funding. the truth is you must be capable of independent research to do a PhD. Asking questions like this doesn't show you've done your research. Firstly, try to do your research to get a general overview of what is required, and if you have a more direct and personal question, you can now come back and ask, and we will be happy to support you. once again, I apologise if you think my response is rude and that I should've ignored the post. I wrote this response out of love and respect, hoping that you or any other person reading this will see reason from it. 16 Likes |

Please can someone confirm if it's possible to do walk-in at Abuja TLS on a day different from your appointment date? I have booked appointment for 17th August and will like to do walk-in on 8th August. Is this possible? |

duchess90: I think it does hasten the process considerably, once you tick yes and input your reference number, they can confirm it on their system as they have the data handy. There is absolutely no need of trying to verify your POF, sending NSF to query about your study gap or work experience which can take significant amount of time. They know that the scholarship committee shortlisted the brightest talents. PS: I applied for UK visit visa last year October using the COP26 route, my visa fee was waved and my application processed in 5 working days even when I didn't pay for any priority service. 1 Like |

duchess90: During your visa application you see an option that asks if you are a recipient of either the Marshall, Chevening or Commonwealth scholarship. I think the Marshall is for US students. But the Chevening and Commonwealth is applicable to Nigerians. I think they also wave visa application fee for this scholars (not too sure)

jtgpt: Yes it does. If you will applied for visa through the scholarship route your application will be given VIP treatment. PS: They only recognized British government funded scholarships like Chevening and Commonwealth |

demmy79: Omo to be honest I no know. I booked around April when I was not sure if I will still travel or not, as I was awaiting confirmation from my funders. I tried a couple of times and didn't see any appointment date. One Saturday morning I tried and saw available dates I just decided to chose 13th May to allow considerable time to get the confirmation I needed and sort my documents. Mine was just luck. |

I did my interview on the Friday 13th and today is making it exactly 2weeks and yet I have not heard anything. Is there a way to know if the embassy has handed over my passport to the courier and it's been delayed by the courier service? Germany embassy usually process visa very fast and I'm already worried by this delay. My expected travel date in on 4th June which is in approximately a week. |

awo666: I did not book a flight, I only made reservations. I simply contacted my friend who is a ticketing agent to get me flight reservation for visa purposes. Alternatively, you can email the airline and ask them to send you a link to make flight reservations pending visa approval. |

awo666: The interview was pretty straightforward with loads of questions. 1st the lady went through my passport and saw my previous Egyptian visa, she asked what I went to do in Egypt? I told her I had a meeting with the Egyptian Government, she looked surprised and ask what I do Then, she flipping my passport and saw the UK visa she took time to examine it an then proceed with the questions. Most of them related to my purpose of travel and work. |

firstlady99: I still don't understand how you guys plan to study in the UK without atleast having your tuition fee complete. Not having full living expenses is understandable atleast you can be working a student job and be managing life. But it is nearly impossible to be working on UK living wage of £10.85 per hour for a maximum of 20hours/week and save enough money to cover your tuition and living expenses.
