HillyMa: Hi sorry for the late response My jps Bills was as follows UNT Doc 1500 Jps Hospital bill 2500 Lab mom 202 Lab baby 35 Epidural 1600 got a refund of 400 (20 or 25% discount) No pediatrician bill used a jps nurse practitioner.
Jps is accepting International patients u just need to get a tarrant county card, it just shows the address u would be staying. Also it's any doctor on duty at the time of ur labor that would deliver your baby not a specific doctor.
@justwise am I allowed to post the UNT number on my payment slip?
segzy0: Thanks for your prompt response @Justwise, I intend to travel in January that's why I'm applying in December as to give enough time for visa processing.
I see Kenya Airways for £479 Hotel £228 for a week Feeding £150 for a week Transport: £50 Sightseeing and shopping €400
waynee2baba: Hey everyone, I've been following this tread for years now.. I must say @Justwise and the rest are really doing a very great job keeping it active. However, I just got admitted into the University of Bedfordshire. I wana find out how long it takes a Tier 4 UK student visa to be processed. Also, I wana enquire how good the university is and if anyone here has been admitted for February 2017 intake. In addition to that, what are the tips every applicant going for an interview must know? Furthermore, my university didn't request for IELTS and I heard the embassy would reject applicants without the aforementioned English Proficiency Result. Lastly, what's the cost of living in terms of only accommodation and feeding (16-17y/o) ? Can one get a decent accommodation of 200-250 quids monthly ?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation

1. Visa processing takes between 3 to 15 working days.
2. If going by general ranking you may have to think again about your choice, you may have to narrow it down to course ranking.
3. If the uni did not ask for English language test then the embassy will not refuse you because of that.
4. The university is modern, new facilities, located at the heart of Luton town, great transport network and closer to London.
5. Cost of living is moderate but then again it will depend on your lifestyle but with your maintenance money you will be fine.
You need a miracle to get a single bedroom for 200-250 a month in Luton.
prettysolid: @ just wise and anyone in the house who can help. I keep quoting but no one ever replies. I have managed to create an account. There were some technical difficulties on the website. Now please my question is should i click yes or no as answer to the question if I have lived in any one of the designated countries for 6 consecutive months in the last year.
2) when I click on yes, medicals is put on the list of required documents which needs to be uploaded. But I have not done medicals yet
Does this mean I have to upload my medicals now am applying or I can upload other requirements and leave the medical blank when submitting and wait till they request for it. Because I have not done my medicals yet. Please answer it's urgent.
Or should I just click no. Cuz that medical requirement does not show up on the list of documents I need to upload when I clicked no. I am confused
1. Have you lived in any of those designated counties for 6 consecutive months?
2. Upload those documents you have and leave out medicals because when medicals is needed you will be requested to take one and submit.
I'm done reading the thread from part 2-3, it's an everyday motivation however, I will be applying in December as im taking my time to build my bank statement.
Here are the questions I want to ask for now;
1) Is it okay to book a hotel 8km away from where tourist attractions are?
2) I have other source of income which is my land that generates income, can i explain to the ECO in an additional box or do I have to write a cover letter in a company letter headed paper?
I intend to stay for 7 days, my monthly salary is 200k after tax and the account balance should be 1.1M. Won't it be a problem if im spending 2 and half months of my salary on the trip?
Pls advice me
1. Not really a problem but it depends on the city you are visiting in the U.K.
2. Any, whether in the form or cover letter.
Do a break down of the trip first then you will know whether 2 and half will afford you a trip to the U.K during Christmas period.
youseuph: Hello everyone. Please I need clarification on the general belief that one's budget should not exceed two months salary. For instance if one is on salary of 150k per month, does it mean that one's budget shld not be more than 300k which I don't think is feasible.
Spending more than 2months of your salary on a visit to the UK means that you don't earn enough to afford that trip and you don't have strong ties to Nigeria.
With Nigeria in recession and the fall in Nigeria you need a stronger ties to Nigeria to be able to get a visa to the U.K.
Graciousrev: @Justwise;please see below proposed cover letter,I will appreciate if you could please add and edit on my behalf.

TunzAntman: Yes I was o. The NI card just came in the post when I turned 16. Like I mentioned, I applied for discretionary leave to remain as I didn't fall under any of the categories to apply for Indrfinite leave to remain. It was denied on the basis that I didn't live with my partner, didn't have any kids and wasn't married. They claimed that there's nothing stopping my partner coming to Naija to continue our relationship, and they weren't sure it was a relationship akin to marriage!
I didn't tell them I was working sha (real NI and drivers license)
I'm surprised that you were able to work and studied in the UK with expired visiting visa, it could come back to hunt you though because you have abused that visa and taking the immigration to lower and upper tribunal was a bad idea, though your age at that time may be considered.
That said, you took the right step by going home at your own cost and got married, so the battle starts now to see how the UKBA will look at your case.
Whether you use propriety service or not is the least of your problems, apply and be honest to the core about your immigration history.
Human right to family life matters not much here especially when there is no child involved. Concentrate on meeting all spouse visa requirements without leaving any gap and lets see how it pans out.
chaochao: Hi everyone, please i need your expert advice. i just finished my studies in UK and returned to Nigeria last month. i intend going back November for my graduation and applying for a visitors visa.My brother paid in 1.3m into my acct just like i did when i applied for Tier 4.

blackme: The above quote was a part of my interaction on this forum in february 2016, fast forward to October2016 and I'm glad to inform you that I not only got my UK visa, I equally got my US visa making it double testimony. I will explain in details how events unfolded but for now I just want to thank all on this forum especially @kennyscanny @justwise for their advice during the trying period. It would be a great disservice to your efforts if i failed to come back on this forum to share my testimony. May the blessings of the Lord continually locate you guys, I appreciate. Thanks
TunzAntman: Hi Nairalanders, thanks for all the contribution on the thread. It's uber helpful and encouraging.
So I just want some opinion on my case.
Arrived in the uk on a visit visa in Jan 03 (I was 15 at the time)
Visa expired in Jan 05
Was living illegally (studying and working, I have a valid NI, tried to apply but was ill advised to wait for the 10 year route as I was over 18) till Jan 13 when I was stopped by police and taken to detention centre.
Applied for discretionary leave to remain in Jan 13 and was refused in May 13.
Appealed to the lower tribunal in 13 and refused in 2014.
Appealed to upper tribunal was refused in May 2015.
I was the detained when I went to sign on at Croydon HO in May 15 and taken to detention as I had exhausted my appeals.
I immediately requested for voluntary leave and was granted. I bought my ticket and left the UK in June 15.
Me and my partner of 6 years just got married and I am about to apply to join her.
Questions: Do you envisage any hiccups due to my immigration history?
Is it worth applying for priority service?
Do I need to mention my immigration history in my application?
Ps: no criminal records or cautions
Thank you guys!
Were you working and studying with your true identity?
If you don't mention your immigration history you be refused and most likely to lose the appeal as well.
Judging by your immigration history you will be very very lucky to get the visa approved at first attempt.
WellEndowed: I read a story some time back on NLD (don't know how true it is but I believed the OP, she was desperate to get in the second time) about a woman who was refused entry when she flew the second time around to have her baby. She had declared(1st time) at POE that she was there for visit but had her baby there. The next time she flew in, they asked her what she was there for she mentioned visit again...to cut the long story short, they refused her entry after they found out (don't know how) she had a baby girl the first time she "visited". Please bear in mind that she paid all the hospital bill and did not owe the government a dime. But according to her, the custom/immigration officer told her that she lied about her intent in the country the first time. She said the custom person told her that having kids in the country was not illegal/against the law but the fact that she lied raised a red flag
She had her second child in Nigeria and came online to advise people never to lie when at POE.
I really don't understand people who tell such alimentary lies even when all their details are with the embassy and could be checked out at any point.
If you lied about your intentions to give birth in Canada at the POE will you swallow that baby when leaving or present the baby as souvenirs?
Kukuful1014: Good day justwise nd co, I have some issues I need some clarifications.
I intend to visit the UK this December, my uncle will be sending me invite
I have a job nd my monthly salary is £ 416, my account balance is £ 4116.
I intend to stay for one month, direct cost to me will be £ 900 for return ticket, and £ 300 for miscellaneous expenses M
My uncle will provide accommodation and food, I want to knw wat my chances are nd documents I need to add to my application.
Nobody can accurately predicate what your chances are even the ECO will not tell you that until you make your application.
In terms of list of documents to submit..please read few pages back because we have listed them over and over again here from page one to this very page
..just to add...you need to explain in your application form what you will be doing in the UK for one month
EZmonie: VO: Sorry your visa cannot be approved at this time bla bla Actually, I felt bad. I went away and since I felt within me that there was no reason why I should be denied, I immediately paid for another appointment with the hope that I would still get an appointment date before the conference date would be over and be interviewed by a different VO. Looooo! I was wrong, I paid the fee but I could not get another date before the conference. So, I kept my receipt for another day.
In less than six months latter, I decided to attend another conference on the same subject matter. I tried to make use of my previous receipt. The system rejected it. I called the customer care and I was told that I have used it sometime for Dropbox. I was stunned. Dropbox ke? I never had a US visa before. How come Dropbox. Did anyone steal my receipt details to use it for himself? So they told me I had to pay for another appointment. I paid and went for another interview.
As I was lined up to enter, I started reciting "the Lord is my Shepherd. Me: good morning VO: (thank God it's another VO this time, but a woman) good morning Me: where in the state are you going? VO: what are you going for? Me: I am going to attend an international conference VO: what's the name of the conference? Me: (at that point because of the tension of not wanting to be denied the second time, my memory almost failed me but I managed to composed myself and stuttered out the name of the conference) VO: if you were in government, how would you ensure food security? ME: I would provide soft loans to farmers to encourage their agricultural practices. VO: what is soft loan? Me: (I told her. Seemed satisfied) VO: how will the conference benefit you? Me: (I told her; seemed satisfied. But while telling her, I mentioned a term "ground breaking discovery". Immediately she cut it and asked...) VO: what ground breaking discovery? Me: ( I was shocked hearing that. Watin kind question be this?. I told her something. Seemed satisfied) VO: have you traveled before? Me: yes to Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Tanzania VO: how much do you earn? Me: 195000 from my paid job, 50000 from farm work because I am a farmer also, bla bla bla VO: do you think you can afford this trip? Me: (na wao, na who go answer say he no fit afford am before.) yes VO: how long have you been preparing for his? Me: since last year VO: are you married Me: yes VO: how many children Me: two VO: what's the name of your child? Me: so so so VO: (smiled) your visa is approved Me: ( I was like totally deaf no more hearing "your visa has been approved". I didn't know why the VO was smiling at me. I tried to regain my consciousness back and realized she approved my visa, and that's the reason for the smile. I just manage to squeeze out a smile that was not there back at her) it's my pleasure I walk away joyful.
I thank all the resourceful people of this trend. God bless all of you. I really learn a lot from here. This is on behalf of we silent readers union. Thank you.
I have being reading your posts since yesterday where you are promising people with US visiting visa a job that pays $1600 a month then i started looking at your profile.
Your interview transcript above took place just 6months ago but you already acting as an illegal employer in US?
