@justwise, you just jumped in to conclusion. I have said my opinion on what I observed. I didn’t mention names it’s what I observed.
Nobody will ask questions and dictate how he/she wants it to be answered. There are better ways to say the truth, give honest opinion and not act like VO.

You were part of the few than answered my very first question on this thread, I am not taking sides and I am just saying how it should be.

Eg: Can someone recommend how to go about studying in the Uk and Visa process
Ans:you can go to page 1 of this thread to read more
Not: are you sure you’ve read the thread very well? You can use google blah blah blah
I know some people wants to be spoonfed but there are better ways of attending to questions without hurting anyone like I said in my previous post.
Stay back here and start answering questions the way it will not hurt anybody's feeling.

Thousands have benefited from this thread and others in this section but very very few are back to answer questions ''nicely''

They only get offended why i did not tell them what they want to hear

You are just a proud egoistic dude, honestly and it is boldly written all over you! Do you know my financial status? because many people worked their pof you assumed I did same too right ? Because I requested for loan you concluded I used an untouched loan? Please Abeg Abeg Abeg! You can keep your egoistic advice to yourself! Learn to talk to people right and there are better ways to pass a message without feeling like you are more than what you are! People are struggling and going through a lot, and you feel passing a message that way was the best? You think people are not aware of the struggles of leaving for a particular country without money and accommodation ? Check out how other people responded and learn from them.
Not because you requested for a loan, you are looking for someone to accommodate you for. According to you: Even if it is for one month

Then i asked you what happened to the maintenance money you presented to the embassy? That got you worked up because you are uncomfortable with the truth.

If you have the money to finance your foreign education then why are you here looking for free accommodation and loan?

You need to have a stronger backbone and have an honest conversation with yourself.

According to you...you have the school fees worth about 7M naira, that is for the school but the money YOU NEED FOR YOURSELF you don't have it. You come to the UK and punish yourself working flatout, no time to study, attend group meetings for the whole period of the course.

Then course ends, at least 7M gone in 9months, you barely cross the line and holding a shiny certificate that doesn't worth the paper its written on,

PSW will do you very little in terms of finding a graduate job because that visa is a closed-end, not to talk of when you don't have a good result.

If you knew my history here ..that i''m such a bad person why then did you respond to my question?

On this Thread, I think some people are afraid to say the truth because they feel some gurus or oldies might not respond to their questions when they need help.
We need to learn how to address people, if we feel we might not be able to reply to people’s questions due to personal reason then we don’t need to comment.

We are here to help one another not to discourage. There are better and matured ways to address issue without making others feel bad. In as much as we want to hit the Nail on the head we need to be cautious. Please kindly help if you can, you never can tell who the next victim is. @ Mimi lyrics I must commend you for dropping those job postings, God bless you,God bless us all.

NB: my write up no mean say make u no answer help
Me when I need your help o me I just yarn how I feel. I am still a learner ooo
Address me squirrely and i have no prob with it.

You can't come here to ask a question and still dictate how you want it answered. Many stopped answering questions here because people like you will get offended because you did not get your preferred answer. Then next is to claim victim or bullying.

There are some people here who will wipe your nose and talk to you like a child so as not to hurt your feeling...count me out.

I saw a post on Facebook.... an indian (not that the nationality matters) came here with student visa T4, he immediately hussled and got a care job and switched to T2 visa. I thought I seen it here that its not possible and you had to complete the school

But No, his T2 was approved this week. I didn't know that was possible so hey students shine your eyes ooo. This guy got his visa so he has switched from T4 to T2 without completing the degree

Justwise I don't intend to break any rules ooo but information is power hence why I am posting this


Find out if that person switched before finishing his or her course, someone posted similar thing here before and i asked the same question but got no answer

Thanks alot.

I really appreciate all the responses
A bit of tip....Look for school with lesser school fees, affordable city and go for Jan admission.

Jan starts have longer visa duration and holiday, so you will have 2 summer holidays while Sept starts have one and shorter visa duration.

Look for schools with such time table...it will be outlined on their websites

Mr Interviewer, I should start analyzing what I used my money for to you because of what? I asked for a request and you are here questioning me like what ? Please keep your questions to yourself. Some people be acting like small god thinking people can’t afford to travel. I have seen your attacks here and how you look down on many.
Bingo!! Here we go, this is what happens when you cheat yourself thinking that you are smart by using untouchable loan to get a visa

I will keep saying it and i couldn't give a rat backside what some of you think about me.

Don't come to the UK if you are not financially prepared, at least for the first 3months, by then you are familiar with few things and get a job to survive.

Ask those encouraging you to go ahead with this perilous journey to accommodation for one night, just a night.

Nothing is impossible but it’s impossible for you to pull that off.

You have only 4months of summer holiday to work full time, to hit your target you to be taking home at least £2800 net monthly for that 4months then when you are back to school you return to 20hrs which may take care of your rent , bills and feeding.

Dear all, please chip in from your experience.
I submitted visa applications and a mail was sent from UKIV to upload pictures with 10 days deadline to respond. I could not see the mail on time and the visa was declined with options for administrative review.
I have submitted the administrative review earlier December.
But this morning I received a refund of the IHS fee.
I kindly want to know what is the implications of this
This is normal, your IHS get refunded if your application is not successful.

If the AR is successful you will be asked to pay back the IHS

The point I am trying to make is that all cities have got their good and bad areas some worst than others, drug problems is as bad as knife problems because it tears families apart and changes their lives forever. When the drug problem is taken out, it will reduce the other crimes.

If you want to live in a crime free area it’s better to live in a small village, with no train station or high street. With one c of England, one pub and one corner shop. And where everyone knows each other and know when a strange face comes into town.

A friend of mine was recently given a 3 bedroom house, brand new build. Beds and wardrobes provided, white goods included, living room rugged. Hers is to rug the remaining rooms. No, she isn’t paying a dime but she is complaining bitterly that the house is outskirts (20 minutes drive from towns centre), why didn’t they rug the entire house?, where do they want her to get the money to complete the rest of the rooms. It’s far from kids school cos their school is in town.

I just weak listening to her moan about why government isn’t doing this and that for her. Like 1/3 of my salary goes to taxes and NI funding your likes and you are complaining
Just imagine that! That sort of person will never get a job, just stay home making babies and claiming even more benefits while we work to pay for it.

Scotland
When it comes to researching the most dangerous places to live and work in Scotland, a lot of different types of surveys would appear ranging from all of the crime rates that can occur in the area. Scotland is an independent country and though a lot of the research found was closely linked to other parts of the United Kingdom these are the top 6 places for high crime rate in just Scotland alone:
Glasgow City
Edinburgh City
Dundee City
West Dunbartonshire
North Lanarkshire
Aberdeen City
The problem I have with Luton is lack of investment in social infrastructures, they keep maintaining outdated infrastructures and refused to modernise them. This is very common in many city councils outside London where you have majority ethnic minority running the council, running most of the businesses, owning houses. They award contracts to companies linked to friends and families. No maintenance culture. Identify politics etc.

The same problem in Bradford but look at Leeds which is just 20mins away, far better than Bradford’, properly managed.

The whole thing be come a mess when Eastern Europeans moved in especially gypsy Romanians . Crime and antisocial issues skyrocketed.

I have lived and worked all over the UK, including London. London is the epicentre of druggies and drunks.

Luton has been reviewed everywhere online to be an absolute sheeithole, the reviews by people who were born and bred there cannot be wrong. I visited Sainsburys in Luton once for a training meeting and it reminded me of when I used to live in Sunderland. An absolute destiny killer soul destroying place to live in.
I have also lived in some cities in the UK and my experience in Luton is no different from other cities. They all have good and bad areas.

Luton review Is about infighting between residents. White British blaming Asians and Eastern Europeans for crime and other antisocial problems

Is either you haven’t seen your town centre on Saturday or Sunday morning or you are living in denial. I repeat again… no single city in the UK is free of this problem. They all have bad areas, drug dens, run down council houses.

No city in the UK without such prob especially when you have universities, bus and train stations located very close to town centres which is typical of UK cities apart from maybe London.

I went from Newcastle city centre to Luton town centre, and I was in for a shock.
What you saw in Luton or experiencing is not different from what happens in Newcastle town centre areas unless you don't get out on weekends or live close to town centre.

You will not see such in LU3, 4, or 5 part of Luton. LU2 area mostly close to train station and beginning of high town road are rough areas.

Luton is rough, I’m part of the people living here. Lots of drugs, gambling, burglaries. Everywhere is just rough, maybe because I’m comparing to Newcastle oo… but I had to adjust my walk and dressing to avoid talk. The number of Junkies that will walk up to you and ask for money or drugs or smoke sef go shock you. On new year na so ambulance full everywhere, apparently some people had over partied and overdosed. And it’s dirty, you’ll see different types of vomit, shit, broken glass as you’re walking around.

There are other cities to stay in UK, research can’t give you the full low down on a city/town before you move. You either see it yourself or hear from someone else.
You live in LU1 area?

You people should stop decalaring your visa refusal to your school
. Those letters are usually generic. You just have to look for someone with a turkey refusal letter, scan and send to them since they are insisting or better yet apply to another school because they will not give you CAS.
This is not a good idea, schools are very likely to withhold your tuition fee deposit in the even of visa refusal if you did not disclose previous visa refusal.
