Hi Guys,

My TRV was approved yesterday 13th.

Masters degree
Submitted 11th of May Paper Route

Medical Call: 13th of June
Medicals done: 15th of June
Medical Passed: I wasn’t interested, because I didn’t link my app online

Approval Mail: 13th of July
Processing Time: 9weeks

Financial proof:
Bank statements of two accounts (Dad)
Sponsorship letter from my Dad
Land properties documents
Tax clearance receipts.

Education and other docs:
BSc statement of result and transcript from Nigeria
MSc certificate and transcript from Uk
WAEC certificate
Birth certificate.
Police Clearance Certificate
NYSC Certificate
Conditional acceptance Letter
Print out of Application Page showing I have been accepted unconditionally.
Attendance certificate of my first master’s graduation
All applicable CIC forms

N.B:
1. I didn’t pay tuition fees before applying.
2. I paid for my flight ticket a month before I submitted my application (Funny right?...I was positive. I have saved almost 638,000naira compared to the recent flight fees)
3. I did all research and findings myself with no help. Google was my best friend
4. I have also not been involved in any activity since August last year (I did my first master’s graduation in July came back home August) so I did not get a study leave letter/letter of introduction from any work place. My understanding and research of Study gap is 2007-2011, 2013-2015: what where you doing in 2012?
5. Going for my second Master’s degree and not PhD. My BSc, first master’s and second are all related in the same field.
6. I did not write any SOP or letter of explanation to convince the VO that I would come back. (To be honest I am not coming back….lol! )
7. I did not also include my personal bank statement.
8. All the documents I submitted were photocopies except my dad’s bank statements and conditional letter of Acceptance.
9. My dad’s account that I used had less than 5million, combi of the two accounts. But there are lots of inflow and outflow in them.
10. I had a very imperfect application, I omitted one of my siblings in the form that had study questionnaire. (was so worried at first but I believed all will be fine)
11. I dint submit any birth certificate of my siblings, I have plenty of them. Two are based abroad and I didn’t include their bio-data to show their status abroad.
12. I didn’t not include my dad and mum bio data or travel history stamps or visas.
13. I didn’t link my application online, I felt receiving emails from CIC was better and less stressful.
14. I didn’t do upfront medicals cause I felt hearing from them will make me feel that all will be well.
15. I had like four certifications I never included in my application because I felt it wasn’t necessary.
16. I have been to the states just once with my 2yrs visa that expired in June during my app.
17. The sponsorship letter I submitted had a lot of alterations in black pen because no time to reprint and re-sign, my dad was too busy during that time.
18. We all can only try our best, no one can have a perfect application.
19. Pardon me for any mistake in my write-up. Rushing


I submitted my application before I discovered this forum, after I read a lot of comments here and what people submit, I was so scared, because I didn’t include so many things. But I believed in God and stayed positive. Please don’t be discourage to chase your dreams, the sky is your starting point. I hope this will be useful to someone.

Thanks for your time and all the best!!

u applying tru paper route?

opsyF:
ohh the questionnaire form, it was the only document I could not edit with adobe acrobat. I m surprised the application allowed you to type into the given fields. Still don't know what to do about the IMM5832E form. Might just print it out and fill with black ink

opsyF:
Did not experience such with adobe acrobat.

wayaa007:
1. No you don't need the UK police clearance, since your country of residence at the moment is Nigeria
2. You can submit anywhere, so long as it's in Nigeria.
But to chip in a few words, hope your SOP explains why you are doing a PGD after an M.SC, because right now that's the big red flag in your app.

opsyF:
Download adobe acrobat, open the pdf files with it. It ll allow you fill the form easily.

TILC:
@Wayaa007 is right. u dont need to acquire a u k police report as u currently reside in Nigeria
av you gotten an admission already for the PGD.

lawmerchant:
The application is processed in Accra, Ghana. It is immaterial whether you submit is Abuja or Lagos. Though you have have to pick up ur passport in Abuja or pay to have it forwarded to you in Lagos.

Well, based on what you said they wrote there,go for the review, with an explanatory note and if possible a written response from your school that they can still take you despite the late resumption date....and continue to be prayerful!

Dharkchild: Was suppose to meet up with future soon over the weekend but couldn't make it, maybe this weekend would be nice to hook up since ikcbn would also be coming.

Manchester via Qatar from Lagos means you are willing to roam in Doha for 7hours in d name of transit BUT Qatar to Heathrow has far far less transit time, like an hour or an hour and a half at most. Issorai

Dharkchild: Hi guys, I arrived Sheffield today. it was a very smooth flight. Lagos to Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Manchester then a bus a school arranged coach picked me up from Manchester to Sheffield. I called my Landlord and met him at the apartment. it was cooler than expected, thank God i booked arranged. The people are really nice if you are a friendly person yourself.

Immigration: Just collected my landing card, asked for school and course, thats all. they didnt even ask for any document

Weather: its was 12 degrees today, too cold for me, tho people are saying its not yet cold. I hope to acclamatise soon sha.

i was also favored, i met some salford babes (Nigerians) at Manchester airport who gave me a Lebara sim card with 5pounds credit free, they said they just wanted to welcome me.

In all, its been good so far. Thanks to all, and Justwise you've been of tremendous help God bless you.

chy22: I can't believe this. After all this fear and tension I entered uk on sunday via manchester air port. And believe me the only word the board agency said was to put my thumb on the scanner and noting else. No questions at all, I did not even show any paper to him other than my passport. Guess I am always lucky. Safe journey for those of you yet to come.

kunlewoye: Hi, I got to London this morning and will be in Salford next week! See you!!
