Please I have some questions I need answers to
1. Is it possible for me to travel alone with my child and then my spouse joins us later, even though we will be applying together

2. Is it possible for me and my spouse to do biometric from different locations as he will not be together at the time of applying for Visa

Cc justwise
cc Lagosismyhome
1. Yes its possible but for the sake of your second question...maybe he should apply later from his current location so as to attend biometric in his location. I really don't know if its possible to book biometric appointment and attend in different locations

True, but experiences differ. Some organizations check university ranking trust me, Universities like University of Oxford and Cambridge like you rightly mentioned and some other A list universities like LSE, University of Leeds, University of Glasgow, University of Edinburgh, University of Birmingham, University of Sounthampton, University of Nottingham etc. Check their tuition fees and compare to the rest, there is a reason why theirs is way higher. I am not disputing the fact that exprience and skills are very important but having those alone might not suffice for some kind of jobs in the UK. I did my undergraduate in the UK so I know what I am talking about.
Your head is in the right place, if you can afford to attend a good ranked university please do because ranking matters, its a brand, Its one of the keys that opens door of opportunities. This is not only in the UK even in Nigeria when you graduate from a good university you are more likely to get a job than someone from those mushroom universities

Yes you can still get a job with a certificate from lowly ranked universities but its a struggle, many foreign students go to cheap and cheerful universities because of low tuition fees, given the opportunity very few will leave well ranked university for poorly one.

That is not entirely true, luckily you don't have to worry about immigration but without money as Lexusgs430 has being saying in a city like London..you are toast. Try any city outside London to settle until you can stand on your feet then move to London if you want.

Hotel is not a good idea, look for cheap B&B for a start until you get a job

I do not think he needs a source to back this information up
. You should try as much as possible learn new things. Take good counsel and listen or read intently. That's a cue he just dropped there.

Most people paint the "abroad" so beautifully that hides the reality of it.

As for me, I'd love to travel out some day, though have tried once and not approved, but I keep an open mind to information.

My friend in Turkey is planning to come back to Nigeria soon. Nothing dey for am for over 7 years in Turkey.

It's not always about traveling, what plans do you have when you do?

My cousin in Brazil has built an upstairs here in Nigeria from the proceeds of his business (yahoo) in Brazil but is cooling off in the Brazilian prison for drug trafficking as I'm typing this. I'm not for or against people's resolve or businesses but as a sane human, make good plans for yourself.

It's good to travel around the world because you will get to meet new people who'll connect you to your destination. But good planning is of importance.
That is what i'm referring to, the comment by Chukwuka16 need to be backed up by source/evidence. You can't just jump in to claim that he doesn't need to back that up, that is what Limassol is saying.

@3sha4lyf, @vicjustice and @justwise

Happy new month fellows. To all the gurus in the building thank you for your continuous support.

Please I have an issue at hand, after my application and biometric, I was given a blank Passport, after mail and phone call to TSL I was given the attached negative response.

So I said I should throw it to the house perhaps I can receive the appropriate advice and way forward cos my mind is as blank as a whiteboard.

Kindly assist with a professional comment.

Thanks

Gambros:
Good morning My People,

Please I want to make enquiry based on the courses I searched for and the Schools involved.

I checked for Advanced Chemical Engineering and noticed University of Hull, Tesside University and University of Bradford offer same.

I have interest in University of Hull and Tesside University due to their fees. Hull is about 9000 pounds , Tesside is about 13,000 for one year ,though my course is for 16 months, am not sure if there would be extra cost for the 4 months additional. University of Bradford is also about 21,000 pounds but I read somewhere on this nairaland about the School offering 5000 pounds discount.

Please my question is

1.Any idea about which of these Schools would be better for this course and the locations . What's the environment like as regards closeness to major cities.

2. Who has benefitted from the 5000 pounds discount from University of Bradford. Is it offered automatically or there are terms and conditions attached.

3. Any other School that can be suggested for this course(Advanced Chemical Engineering.

Thank you .

@Justwise and everyone, Kindly assist to comment.
Out of those 3 universities Hull ranked higher followed by Bradford but job wise Hull is lacking, Bradford is a good student city but i think their fees is high, opportunity to get a job is higher though compared to other 2 cities. I don't know much about Middlesbrough job wise but i don't think it will be better than Hull

Thank you jor my brother.



How will they scam me when they didn't request for any money to be paid until I got to this final stage of making my self available in the UK for the final process? Just that bad belle that exists in this country won't make people take their time to read very well before commenting.

May God open doors of favour for all of us.
Even at that stage you are not supposed to pay a penny if this is genuine job opportunity, in the UK you don't pay to get a job, even recruitment agencies don't charge.

Justwise, you are a respected person on this forum and this drivel will not stop my respect for you. However see your quote in bold...

You accept the FACT that the OP has not mentioned anything. He keeps saying he will not state further details. He has stated his reason for opening this thread but naija mentality will not allow you people let him 'drop his cup'.

1. Do you know his current Country of residence?

2. Do you know his NATIONALITY(IES)?

3. If the UK police replied his email and he is asking for LIVING CONDITIONS in the UK, is this a CRIME? Has he scammed anyone?

I'm actually disappointed that you carried naija mentality to the land of the Queen. The little exposure I had there has made me open minded and taught me to ASK.

How about you simply answer his questions, wish him well or simply ignore?

Well I rest my case in this issue. OP, I have no interest in becoming a Police Officer whether in UK or anywhere else but I wish you well.

Keep us updated.
The only person with the annoying Nigerian mentality here is your very self, its ignorant to make statement of fact based on assumptions.

You are far from open minded, a simple research would have educated you more THEN you can make an informed argument.

As for your respect for me? Look for a bin close to you and do the right thing.

I disagree with a whole bunch of people here, that doesn't mean that i don't respect them anymore, it simply means that we don't share the same opinion on that particular issue.

Dear Nigerian Youths... the reason why you and this country will never go far is ARROGANCE. Arrogance is when you are ignorant and ignorant of the fact that you are ignorant and choose to Educate others in your ignorance!

No one even asked the OP what gave him the impetus to apply.

In the email screenshot, they gave him a waiver stating he can apply if he has lived in the UK for 12 months?!

Brothers, what if this guy has done a Masters degree there? My Masters took nearly 18 months!

There is so much you are IGNORANT of in this situation, including those of you currently in the UK.

How 'bout we all politely ask question and find out the way?!

Chai! Nigerian leaders have really done you guys in!
The only arrogant and ignorant person here is you and it’s actually embarrassing to see you writing this based on false assumptions.

The op has not lived in the UK and he did not mentioned that anywhere but some how you managed to write all this purely on assumptions.

Go and do a research and come back here to shame me and I will apologise for everything I have written here, show me any country In the world including corrupt police forces like Nigeria and Kenya where a foreigner is recruited to work as a police officer in that country.

In every city in the UK you can count in your fingers the number of black police officers. I mean black British born and raised. Let a lone a Nigerian who was not born or grew up in the UK.

You just hit the nail.

You are mature in your response and I like that.

I remember mentioning to justwise that I'm enlightened enough to know wrong from right. And before I am taking the process serious simply means my guarantor has already done a physical verification. And the whole process doesn't require me paying any money online.

The stage I have gotten to in the process so far, I haven't paid a dime. And I am in the final stage which only requires me to be in the UK for physical examination and the whole process is complete.
Bro you don't in this particular issue and nothing you have said so far shows that you actually understand what we are saying.

I will travel to any part of the UK to personally apologise to you if you travel to the UK at the end and put on police uniform.

Saying that i'm jealous because you are about to join the UK police force is just childish.

Will you stop countering and ask how to apply?

You need to know people have connects.

And take a proper look at the requirements again aside the "you must be a UK citizen"

Or you didn't see the "or" if you are a foreign national and have no restriction in living and working g in the UK?
Connection indeed, connection does not work here as this is not Nigeria, you need to be a citizen , EU national or ILR holder to be eligible .

Have you ever seen any police authority around the world recruiting a foreigner who doesn’t reside in that country legally with right to work?

Only military does that

Come back here to tell us after wasting your money on the process.

Have you tried using facebook or gumtree? With gumtree..register and state the sort of house you are looking for, you will be contacted by landlords including scammers so be very careful.

You can search in the website and filter out agencies so as to get house advertised by private landlords.
