For all I know, there is nothing like Tier 1 student and Tier 2 student. Their is Tier 1 post study work and Tier 2 is an employer sponsored work permit which is like the American H1B visa which restricts you to working for only one employer.

Like I said before, how many 9ja graduates have been sponsored for the Tier 2 visa? What percentage do they constitute of all the 9ja grads from British schools?
Just to correct a wrong impression, the Tier 2 visa is not for exceptional talents as Tensor has been saying here. The exceptional talents is a Tier 1 category and you really have to be exceptional to apply for it (see my link above). The Tier 2 visa depends on the resident labour market test which means that the home office will only grant the visa if no one else in the UK or the EU is suitably qualified for the job.
I still maintain my stand.

Spot on.

tensor777:
Yes. A post -study work category of the Tier 1 visa is a transitional route to allow the most talented non-EEA nationals graduating from UK universities to transfer to a work or study visa.

Where are u getting ur info? Again, there is nothing like Tier 2 students.

@ justwise thanks for the response, I've travelled to the uk more than 5times on a visit visa, infact my current visit visa is valid till 2014, do u know if dis affects the processing time in anyway cause I learnt it faster for regular travellers to the uk, thanks

As long as u have't committed any immigration offence on your travels then u got nothing to worry about.

They can only judge u now based on student visa requirements first b4 your immigraation history. If u met all the requirements then relax

Hi peepz, I'm just new here, applied for my pbs tier4 visa on the 5th jan 2011 at lekki lagos nd I'm yet to hear from the vfs center, my orientation course starts on the 19th, does anyone have an idea of hw long its gonna take to process the visa, cheers peepz

You still have time, it takes upto 15days sometimes, u don't have to panic now.

@ justwise he is my mums brother [b]he hs the surname wit my moth[/b]er,

That may be a prob cos only somebody who shares the same family name with u can sponsor u.

Ur dady, mum. . .etc

tensor777:
You say things have changed right? Yes when it comes to Tier 2 students. But when we get down to brass tacks has anthing changed for [b]Tier 1 students?[/b]At the moment no, but we will all have to wait until April to see if the Government manitains the opportunity given to international newly graduated students to apply for a 2 year post work study visa. That really is the crux of the matter and the whole tipping point of this drawn-out debate.
My own gut instnct is that they will maintain the status quo. We just have to wait and see.

Anything like that for students?

justwise, its so great to have someone say something positive about Zim. Zim is really nice. Right now things are so much better. We use the US dollar or Rand. Our shops are filled to capacity and we are smiling again. Are you a Nigerian? I really love everything about Nigeria, I love the vibe, the way they cook different dishes etc. God bless Africa

Yes i'm 100% Nigerian, lived in Zimbabwe for almost 4yrs, went to Speciss College there in Harare, i can't 4get Tuesdays half price westgate movie,

Its really a nice place to be and i will visit again when i have the opportunity.

mairodi:
Zimbabwe is not as bad as you think people. The infastructure is fantastic, the roads maintained, state of the art malls, our universities are full of foreign nationals because of our level of education. We have good schools and there are opportunities for good jobs in this country. Yes, we have had our fair share of political problems but things are not as bad as they seem. Propaganda makes every country seem dirt poor but that not the case. Please google pics of Harare and U will be amazed at its beauty, sky scrapers, cleaniless etc. We have so many Nigerian nationals doing thrift business in our country because the opportunities are there. They live in beautiful safe leafy suburbs ( with running water, ) or mod duplex flats. Most of them have made Zimbabwe their home. l

I totally agree with u, i have lived in Zimbabwe, went to school there and i had mad fun and still keep in contact with some of my crazy mates there. I love that country.

UKman37:
hi justwise, I know that

Also he is advertising in the jobs section for English teachers from Nigeria to work in the UK and Canada saying that he was instructed to do so by a recruiting firm from the UK and that made me laugh a lot as that never happens

I just saw that now, he is really desperate

pintogen:
[b]So what [/b]you live in UK does it mean you know everything in UK, i can see you dont realy know what is it am talking abt.call me and let me enlighten you better. have into this over 6 months now and i have better knowledge of what i posted here

Hungry fool, which organisation in the UK instructed you to recruit part-time teachers from Nigeria? You are one of those wicked Nigerians who will go to any lenght to dupe pple.

UKman37:
Can you tell us who the NGO's are in the UK, along with their telephone numbers here so I can call them to verify

Don't mind him, he can't give you any of those info.

janitors:
so whats d big deal having 2 nairaland account, u guys neither have nothing to proof but just trying to fool yourself objecting my post, simply because uv got no interest doesn't mean u should be useless calling others people post a scam, i guess u are the hungry thief Mr Justwise

You just failed in ur mission to milk innocent Nigerians, shame on you miserable human being.

rhinozerou:
@justwise and others, i am new here, what do i do if i'm refused entry clearance,

It depends on the reason for the refusal. You will be given the right to appeal, it comes down to the reason ECO refused u a visa

@debilarry

That is not the number to call, this is the number to call 234 (1) 2714449(Nigeria immigration number) or email them on[b] nis-support@socketworksng.com [/b]

[quote author=girl-inc. link=topic=331618.msg7504585#msg7504585 date=1294696435]@ luv4all2nv, my friend also applied the same period and ws refused fr having insufficient funds when all her accounts was in tact. the 'ECO' refused her application because her school ws supposedly located within inner London when it ws actuali outer London. her school resumes Jan 31st so she ws advised to reapply,also strongly stating the error as justwise suggested in the addtional info column of tha application form. She just got clearance entry on friday. so since time is nt on your side, its best you reapply as soon as you can. u can state the reason as ECO error in your next application. Goodluck!!!

@ justwise, thank you for your help. my friend got her entry clearance on friday. Happy New Yr 2 u!!![/quote]

Congrat girl-inc ur friend must be over the moon considering what happened b4. All the best to both of you.

tammikay:
@ Justwise, just letting you know that I applied on January 4th and received visa stamped January 6th. Thanks for the positive energy you sent my way! All the best to you.

Wow!!! that is like express service. Congrat, i'm really happy for you. All the best with ur studies.

talk2xp

How about telling them what u know about studying in Cyprus here?

@Zealouxx

If its free and u don't have any interior motive then share the info here.

janitors:
i guess u are just trying to fool urself for that ugly reply

pintogen is the same person as janitors, a hungry thief.
