raldoh:
Please guys I need you to help with this information if you got one. Is there a way one can check the authenticity of their US visa.

No insults please �. I just wish to know if there’s something or a kind of way you ca confirm the Authenticity of a visa I.e if a visa is fake or original.

Aphrikanna:
Please guys, this is very urgent and important. My friend traveled to the UK without her 3 year old daughter.. So she's currently in the UK but she wants to apply for visa for her daughter and she wants me to bring her daughter with me when I'm coming to the UK.
P.S. I'm not related to her in anyway. She's just a friend. Is this possible? Can I travel with someone's child even with a written permission from her mother?

work permit- he should help you find an employer who will file for you.

Express entry see link https://www.nairaland.com/6081746/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled

Or school

If not no way. Canada immigration is very strict and a friend can’t really help you if you don’t qualify already

@justwise currently I work for a company in Germany as a product designer and I don't want to lose the job. My salary comes to my Dollar account is that traceable or raise an eyebrow on the income?

Hello Justwise,
Please, is there a particular period a marriage is supposed to have lasted before one can apply for dependant (spouse) visa? Like, can one get married this month and apply for dependant visa next month?

Thanks Justwise for the good work.

sniperaz:
Please how do you mean you CANT!

Again, You're allowed to work 20hrs term time!!! Whatever legal thing you can do during that time, please and by all means, do it!! Its not against your visa conditions.

obisdupsy:
Good morning people, please I just recently my visa dependant visa but did not cone with the white paper. Hope it doesn't mean anything? Please I need urgent response

@justwise and others in the house

Chysunshine1:
I am totally confused about the 20hrs .Are we free to do online business like online teaching, crytpcurrency ,online legal jobs.

sniperaz:
Essentially, you can carry out any 'offline' business as long as its not reported to HMRC.

For example, you can be consulting for a business in Korea and they pay you your salary by direct credit to your account as services rendered, then you're fine.

The second illustration: 20 hours does not mean you cannot earn far more than someone who is engaged full time.
For example: You can be engaged 20 hrs but earning £40 per hour(depends on your skill set and the service you can produce). That brings your monthly salary to about £3200 per month.

And please don't ask me what kind of jobs are those. People need to be very creative.

Essentially, be creative but don't break the law.

NB: I know 90% will do care jobs and security but atleast the remaining 10% need to hear that there's something else out there.

Thank you so very much

AKALAMAGBO:
I am actually asking the naira conversion

AKALAMAGBO:
Hi to the guruz here. I have an inquiry, I got a conditional offer at a Wolverhampton UNI and my tuition fee is 13,950 Pounds, once I’m able to pass the personal statement being requested, the status would be changed to unconditional, after which I would be required to deposit 3,000 Pounds and the balance will be around 10,950 pounds. I want to ask how much would be required of me to keep as POF ( In Naira rates ) so I won’t have issues by the time I’m ready to fill my visa application form.

@justwise
@scooby007

Thanks

Gemini89:
Hello people! Please who has gotten IHS refund on this forum? What does the underlined statement mean? Does it mean the applicant that was refused gets a full refund and the main applicant who has a dependent gets a partial refund too?
Thank you.
@justwise

sugaDaddy:
Good day, forgive me if this seems to be a silly question. Last year, I was given admission for September intake which I decided to push up for January 2021. Due to financial issues, I couldn't go ahead with the January intake. But (thank God) I finally have the full tuition fee for my Msc course that I intend to be applying for January 2022.

My question is, do I have to go through applying for (the same) course again or I just send them an email stating my interest to study the said course in January?

Btw, the school still has my details. Thanks

danex:
Take note I did not say it was gonna be easy I only said it is possible. Trust me I have juggled really difficult things in my life while studying I am not afraid of challenges anymore. "Where there is will there is a way". Let's stay positive guys.

Plus studying in the UK is same whether online or offline. It's just a series of papers, workshops, presentations and seminars. You must be prepared to do a lot of research and writing. If you manage your time properly you can succeed.

Additionally choosing a course of study where you have strength can give you a head start. But choosing a course you know nothing about sets u at a disadvantage already.

Just my 2cents.

Adebowaleo25:
Please @Just wise and others, I will be traveling to UK Scotland precisely on Monday.
with the new changes taking effect on Monday 4th of Oct. Please do I still need to book day 2 and day 8 test ?
NB: I am fully vaccinated.

danex:
Well I may not have worked and studied in the UK, but I have Studied online for a UK post graduate degree from Nigeria while working full-time, running a demanding tech business on the side, being a husband and dad to 2 kids and still finishing with a distinction. So without a doubt I believe it's possible. It takes strategy.

sniperaz:
OK.

So there's been some conversations around affordability of a masters degree in the UK and all the twitter post.

First things, education is not an exclusive right f the super rich. If your family can afford it fine, if they cant, then take a student loan. As long as you're sure that's the best step for you at the time and it can be justified. Student loan is not a new thing! More than half the students in your class (if you have Britons, Americans or Europeans) would be on student loan. So if you're thinking to take a loan from nig to fund your education, please go for it. The people granting your visa are aware!!, That's how most of them went to college. You wont be the first and you wont be the last. Africa and student loan is a different conversation altogether.

Secondly, hustle. There's no problem with hustling as long as it doesn't affect your education!! Again you need to understand how their system works. Its slightly different from ours. For us, we finish secondary school, write JAMB and move straight to Uni. No need to work. Education is already heavily subsidised. So for most of us, its already very affordable especially if you're in federal or state university. For Britons, its not the case (except you're scottish - another conversation as well). Education is expensive. Infact, you really don't have to go beyond college (secondary school) if you cant afford it. Masters is almost exclusive for super brilliant students - and that's why you would hardly have Britons as masters classmate. Mostly your classmate will be Africans, Indians and Asians (a few Euopeans)
Back to my point, after college, most of the ones that want to continue education would take a year out to work (usually what you call menial jobs) to raise money in addition to the student loan they would take for when they start uni. They would usually work as carers, bar attendants, cleaners, shop attendants etc

So if you put these together, what they do is not very different from what you will do when you arrive the UK. And because you haven't taken a student loan, there's alot more pressure on you to achieve much more in such short time frame (thank God for PSW now) - hence what you call 'hustle'. And ofcourse, with our very weak exchange rate, even your Nigerian savings doesn't really cut it.

For those who want to work while they school, be rest assured the system understands. As long as you stick to your 20hrs during term time and your school work is not suffering.

And if you're so rich or supported that you don't need to work, please face your studies and have fun - most of the Chinese students don't work. Either because their govt supports them or the language barrier.

Horlarjummie:
Good morning @justwise and everyone. Got a refusal
On my student visa and reason stated was Just that they didn't contact the bank at all or possibly because I used a MFB. Please @justwise @scooby what do you think I should do. While tracking my application, I discovered it's still showing still at DMC. Can I still put in for Jan intake for same school or another school. But what surprised me is that even the school contacted the bank for my POF and issued me a CAS. They even sent me a mail before contacting the bank and now I'm been refuse based on using MFB. I called my course advisor and she asked me few question and suggested I send a mail to the school compliance team which I did and I was told to State reason for the denial which I stated but they told me to await their response by Monday.Someone also told me I can request for a new CAS from same school without paying another tuition fee but I really don't know how true this is. Please house what do you advise I do and what do you think could be the cause for the refusal.Thank you all as I await our response. @justwise @scooby please I need your advise and assistance in sorting this out and way forward. God bless you sir/ma

Please can't I use treasury bill investment cert as proof of funds for uk study visa .

Chreze:
With regards to the work and school discussion. When people who are here tell you it’s a challenging combination. Take it as the truth. When someone tells you it’s impossible, take that too cos he/she may be speaking from experience.

I don’t think combining any two activities at the same time can ever be easy and I think working and schooling is difficult in any part of the world. I know guys who work and study and I will tell you it’s not easy. Believe me. It’s very challenging.

Is it possible? Yes very possible and you can still get a good result.

Will I advice anyone? ….hmmmmm….

Here’s what I will advice:

Try to get something (enough money) to cover your first semester, during the first semester, use it to understand how your Univeristy function and it’s difficulty level. Trust me, the difficult level for University’s varies. Some Univeristy are more difficult (especially those at the top), while some are not so difficult. (I purposely did not use “are not difficult” and that because difficulty is self defined)

After the first semester, you will be able to decide for yourself how you intend to merge the work and school. And possibly you would have made friend(s) that will give you some school update and assist you too.

The reason why Mr(s) A was able to work and school could be because his/her Univeristy was not as difficult as Mr(s) B. Hence why Mr(s) B would tell you it’s difficult or impossible to work and still get good grades.

Above all, don’t ignore advice from people because it’s not in line with what you want to hear or believe. Take every advice you get, Use only the ones you believe and trust. Everything no be argument and curse. Person wey tell you say make you no work and school no go de when you begin face panel for plagiarism because you could not properly translate what you have read into writing.

Trust me my brothers and sisters, e easy for this UK to just change for person eyes like magic oooo. All those plans and imagination wey you don dream of go just turn tears and regret.

In the voice of my people: God no go shame us…

Blessings

Marviskoko:
I have been in the UK for some time now and I believe Nigerians don’t like seeing other Nigerians around them. I don’t think this platform should concern itself with how people survive paying fees and hustling. If you can’t do it, then allow others try. Plans differ, destinies differ also

The way some people carry this “ don’t come if you don’t have your complete fee” on their head really annoys me. Later we will say it’s Buhari that’s our problem. Mtchew

Someone like me that already have a masters and B.Sc. In Nigeria came to find a better life, abi them use book swear for una

Hello house,

I got a refusal on a visitors visa in 2019 but I don’t know the reason behind the decision because I didn’t pick up the letter my self.


What do I do when asked the reason for refusal

ChudiOgudo:
Quick question:

Once my 28days POF starts counting, am I free to move out bulk money (e.g 3mil) from the account for other expenses like tuition deposit, while ensuring my minimum balance doesn't go below the required figure? Am I allowed?
