Please,can someone assist me with list of schools in the UK that accept £3,000 deposit and low tuition fees of about £15 and below for undergraduate courses

Why are you looking for low deposit schools for an undergraduate course.. that's a red flag for you. Don't set yourself up please.

Thank you ma! I think I had already applied before i got to know of this thread.

The reasons shared with you initially is why you can't throw your application again just yet. You have to demonstrate your situation has changed and not dwell on the sponsorship bit. There is a level of expectation the case officer wants to see from you an adult in your own financial standing, which is why you have been told to give it a break for now till things improve otherwise you'd be getting the same result should you reapply soon. Give it another 3 - 6 months.

All will be well.

Hello Everyone,
I recently received offers for the September intake for my MSc in Project Management from both Ravensbourne University and the University of Hertfordshire. Ravensbourne University is located in North Greenwich, SE London, with a tuition fee of £14,500. The initial deposit for CAS issuance is £8,700 (60%), with the balance of £5,800 due in January 2025.
The University of Hertfordshire is in Hatfield, UK, with a tuition fee of £16,500. The initial deposit for CAS issuance is £5,000 (60%), followed by a 65% payment of £7,475 in January, and the final balance of £4,025 due in April 2025.
Really confused of which offer to accept as I'm slightly aware of the high cost of living in London. Please advice on which offer to accept considering cost of living, rent, transport, tuition fee, racism and my likelihood of quickly getting a job as a student in both university and location.
Thank you all in advance

To choose, it'd be best to consider if you have accommodation funds ready and set aside as that would really determine where to get more value. Look online at rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent.html to get an idea of how much your rent would be. Review this for a couple of months and if you have the money, go with the affordable areas.

Also I'd suggest paying more fees that the minimum amount so that you don't fall victim of weaker naira and exchange rates.

Lastly, whilst London may offer access to jobs, events, professional and social networking, all of these are still achievable from Hatfield where fast train into North London is about 18 mins. Part time jobs and accommodation search can go both ways, either quick or slow, it's all down to your affordability and what you're gunning for. The choice ultimately is yours to make from your own research.

Please advise, I want to sponsor my Kid to come for a visit during school holiday. I am on a vacation, I came in earlier, will be going back to accompany her once the visa is approved, we intend to return back together.

I have gotten an Invitation letter from a British family, I’m not the one inviting her, I’m just going to accompany her, kindly know that she has been to Uk once.
What’s your advice? Should I go ahead knowing that I am in the Uk at present, for vacation.

How long are you currently planning to stay on your vacation?
If granted, how long would you want your child to stay in the UK on vacation?
Are you employed or self employed?
Why don't you want to stay in Nigeria with your child during the application process? Extend the period of leaving the UK before returning.

Can someone please tell me how i can raise money for IHS and visa fees.I have a full scholarship but i have been finding it hard to raise the funds to cover the fees.

This is beginning to feel like a regular question where someone claims full ride on scholarship, won't disclose the awarding body and ask how to raise visa fees. People beware.

thanks for understanding me here. I have filled another form but I have not submitted yet. I plan to submit next month since my travel date is Sept 10th _16th 2024 after my August sales. So I'm looking for another info concerning tax matter since I have Tax certificate for my personal TAX that s why I'm here to ask if I should add The TAX certificate from ( JTB) my sales invoice to customers that has my business name, my picture I snap in the shop to be added in my new application document since I dis not include them in the previous application that's why I'm here to ask some questions. So guide me if is necessary to add the listed document or i should use the document I submitted in my previous application? Thanks

I feel like you're focused on the things that matter to you.

What about your statement of account? How will that be viewed? The transactions, monthly income and expenditure as well as disposable income. Is it very clear to understand without too much explanations. Tax certificate is just one aspect of the application which some ECOs may ignore and others pick up on.

So if you are banking on funds from people, how do you hope to demonstrate it?

Lastly, be patient when filling the form.

if I'm not ready to learn so why I'm I herr🤷‍♀️🤣. I said I earn 4.5m annual income in my annual I made a mistake by filling 45m because I use naira to fill my form. Secondly where d ECO was emphasising is the 45m I filled not my sponsor matter or home tiles. Read my Refusal again here and see d mistake

It is true you may have made a mistake about the annual income and the ECO capitalised on that and this is also down to the fact that the evidence submitted did not tally.

But on a new application I think the first place to begin with is;
- when do you want to apply?
- How long would that be after the first refusal?
- Will the funds you have indicated appear on your bank statement if the application is going to be within the next 6 months?
- How do you intend to tell the ECO you came about the money in your own words?, Let's pretend to be the ECO for you.
- If you must travel, are you prepared to visit another country so as to show change in circumstance before reapplying to the UK or do you want to give the UK another shot regardless?

What school is asking you to pay £2k as deposit? Is that not a trap?

Poster, you can attempt paying with a dollar card by funding the dollar or even pounds dorm account in Nigeria alternatively if you have a "trusted" friend or family, then they may pay on your behalf. These are the options known to me.

Your question is quite vague. Could you clarify what extension this is for? Visa extension? Or Passport renewal? Let's start from there.

I understand you but the UK government is training me to do a job for them after I graduate. That's why they are sponsoring me in the first place. The amount covers tuition and living expenses plus 5800 Pounds extra for miscellaneous.

The UK Government has a scheme for visa waivers. If you have the scholarship indeed then you may ask for the option with the program handler.

Also, the UK Government never promises people jobs even for those who have been shortlisted to join the Army. Nothing is ever promised or guaranteed. If you really want help, you need to provide a little information for readers even those silent readers who may independently reach out to you with offers to verify the information otherwise the help you seek may not come from here.
Put yourself in anyone's shoe and see if you would be okay to be asked to reach out to them before they provide you with the information to verify their concerns and get help from you.

All the best.

[quote author=roak post=130268788][/quote]

It's a know fact to residents that you can only use your BRP to generate a right to work or right to rent. In the questions asked, you are told to provide the reference on the document and the example in the question is referenced to the BRP. This is why you are advised to get in, pick your BRP and generate the code.
Often times the HR staff in my organisations do not know the immigration process and many times they themselves have to consult for the most up to date information.

In conclusion, if you receive an error code from attempting to use your passport, share that with your company and explain the alternative is to get your BRP when you get in.

What reason do I give to the immigration lawyers?
I've submitted to them but they are yet to make the application

Just tell them that you have decided to exclude the child from your application on grounds of xyz school health event family anything.

Whatever the immigration lawyers think is the least of your worries. They will not stop your salary, yours is to provide the information they need to make the application and you should be at liberty to make a change when you see fit. Full stop!

In the form given to me by the immigration lawyers handling the visa application, I filled my niece's details as my first child. Now, I no longer want to go with the process i.e putting her as my first child in my application. Does telling the immigration lawyers to remove it put me at risk of jeopardizing my application seeing that the lawyers work for my employers.

If the application has not been submitted, then you can get it removed without any issues. If you have submitted and have yet to go submit your biometrics, then you can have the application cancelled altogether and start afresh.
If the application has been submitted along with the biometrics, then at this point there would be issues depending on how you go about it.

Hi all, please does speeding ticket/points impact ILR application? Looks like 3 points are coming someone’s way grin, Note, speed awareness course already done in last 2yrs.

No it doesn't. Just make sure to declare it and you'll be fine. What mostly affects the application these days are;
1. Duration spent in and out of the UK
2. Caution on one's record
3. Jail sentence on one's record.

If they need transit, it will be boldly written. Even waka now too will tell you.

No website will alert you of the need to have a transit visa for travel. That's like monitoring visa policies all around the world because of the travellers who are meant to own the liability of purchasing a ticket.

then add the fact that it is hard to get jobs paying even minimum wage..

Home Office don't smile with employers of illegal immigrants etc..

https://www.gov.uk/penalties-for-employing-illegal-workers

People need to watch UK Border Force show to see the reality of things.. how people suffer for years earning way below minimum wage and are still caught

It is one thing to say she should do this and that and stay lowkey... It is another thing to actually see it through....

We need to also remember advance in technology and now share code have made things easier for people to be detected/caught/monitored

A perfect example is the Live Facial Recognition thats been introduced by the Met Police which helps locate people on a ‘watchlist’ who are sought by the police;

https://www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/fr/facial-recognition-technology/

Like i stated earlier, going back to Nigeria should always be an option... even if it is the last resort..

I know it it hard, very hard but sometimes reset/replan is another strategy

Even if she has a baby with someone as recommended, how will she be able to pay childcare fees? she needs to work, etc.. and earn something through out the legal tussle to remain in the country.. then add the emotional angle to the tussle


Please forgive my ignorance, what is the positive of a right to work share code, if all i do is attend an interview and pass off a share code via email (offline) as against showing my BRP in an interview or to the HR personnel online.

I am just trying to understand if I am missing something with the logic.

Does anyone know if having points on your licence can affect your ILR application?

Is it better to plead guilty from the beginning or go to court and contest if you might still be found guilty? This is for a minor traffic violation with no more than the potential for 3 points.

I can confirm to you that it doesn't. Just mention it there and that's it. Doesn't impact the application.

Hi Please, does anyone here know how long it takes to receive a PCN? I went through Dartford Crossing but only remembered to pay after the midnight one is expected to pay. I called the line but was told unless PCN is issued they can't do anything however they suggested to plead first offender rate when trying to pay. In the mean time I made payment for future crossing on the car reg. cos I thought maybe by sheer of luck it would count but that's still sitting pretty there.
Crossed December 28th and till date nothing. Kept checking the gov website to see if it had been issued but nothing.
