Travel › Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by justwise(mod):
Champay:
Hello everyone. Posting this here for our gurus here to provide excellent advice as always.

There is a certain Nigerian student that was privileged to travel to the uk to study for masters degree. Halfway into his study unfortunately, the Emefiele forex crisis of 2022 affected his tuition fees in Nigeria and he could not transfer his funds through the banks. He opted for the black market and was unfortunately scammed. He slipped into depression and this affected his academics. In the end, he dropped out and stayed until the end of his visa afterwhich he returned to Nigeria.

Now, he is planning to go back to study for a different degree. What does he need to put asides his evidence?
Your story doesn’t add up and I hope that you are not going to repeat this in your visa application.

If the financial situation in 2022 affected you to the point that you have to abandon your studies and return to Nigeria and now you want to return to the UK when the naira is stronger?


Do you now have all the money to pay your fees in full and maintenance money?

Hi not to derail this topic I have an off topic question
For those living in the uk if you want to change your name as a man how do you go about it. Do you have to go to Nigeria to do this or is there a a service in the Nigeria high commissions office in the uk that can help with sworn affidavits for a name change

Be warned, the jobs available are hotel and restaurant waiters (in summer) , labourers in construction site (all-round the year), farm/garden/fruit pickup (seasonal), but gardening can be all-year round.

Wages are low, €5.20 to €6 per hour in that category. You can make up to €860-€900/month if you work for about 20 days in a month. If you have extra days to work, and you are a labourer in construction, you can earn up to €1,100 or €1,200/month, mostly in summer when you have longer day, and if you work 9 hours/day.

Portugal is not an industrialized country or a warehouse/logistic hub like Germany, and so, don't expect much. Their own children also go to central Europe in search of greener pasture.

Accommodation is scarce but available in location where there's no job. In places where you can find jobs, it's always difficult to find accommodation and it's between €250-€350/room. And this is why Indians, Pakistanis, Bangla, Afghans can be up to 4 people in a room and pay €150/bedspace.

But the good news is, in 5 years, you will obtain your permanent residence card, which would allow you to stay and work in any part of EU, and if your proficiency is high in Portuguese, you can apply for a Portuguese passport immediately after your Permanent Resident card. Your passport is visa-free to Canada, America, UK and almost everywhere. Weigh the options and know that you are not coming to a place where life is that easy.
How is that possible? €860-€900/month for 20hrs work?

you mean we can’t meet up?
Ban on care worker dependent visa starts from 11 of March this years, as you have no genuine job offer right now its almost impossible for you to get one, apply for visa between now and March 11th.

I know too well that Nigeria is very hard now and people are looking for ways to get out but don't be desperate else you get scammed easily.

Lastly be careful with anyone from here contacting you to help you get COS, you will get scammed.

That person is a wicked criminal, if you have half of that money right now and you don't know what to do with it give it to your enemy.

1. Paying for COS is a crime

2. There is no job or accommodation waiting for you in the UK.

3. He is most likely give you fake COS.

Keep applying for job through NHS Trust, yes you will are likely to get loads of rejections but don't give up.

Yes she can. However, it is better to pay for the flight ticket from the US, than paying from Nigeria in this current situation. I was also thinking that inviting someone to visit and if that person stays with me, means that I am sponsoring or partially sponsoring the trip.
Ok fine, yes paying for her flight from US is not a bad idea considering the naira situation.

The most important thing here is for her to demonstrate that she has a strong ties to Nigeria, that she has a good source of income that can afford her foreign holiday. You paying for her ticket or accommodation is added advantage.

Good Afternoon @Justwise and everyone.
Please I want to invite my cousin/aunty from Nigeria to visit me for the first time in the US. Can she add in her application that I am her sponsor, or would it be better if she states that she will sponsor herself ?
Also her scheduled appointment in February 2024 at the US embassy was cancelled today,
I don't know how to post a question on this forum. This is the reason why I am posting my question as reply to someone else's topic/question.
Can your aunt sponsor herself comfortably without your financial input?

GEJ sold oil 🛢 at over $100/barrel, with excess crude oil account, yet Baba still borrow to pay salaries for months, so what is there to learn?

They all belong to the same category and i am not holding brief for any of them.

Example if you want to change to naira, you’ll credit them your pounds so they give you naira. If you send them your GBP and say you have a change of mind, you won’t get your pounds without breaking a sweat. Like actual sweat. They are disastrous and disgusting. Whereas with Lemonade you get your money immediately.
Got that now, i only use Lemonade though.

To be honest, it was convenient for me as I was wfh and it cost £400 and the visa was issued within 2 weeks.


Yes it not cheap, few yrs ago i wanted to take my wife to Spain for holiday but getting appointment was hellish, that was when i came across the service you mentioned, it was £300 then, i decided to get appointment and visa through Portugal, we stayed one night there then cross to Madrid.

Stop misleading people here, schools are sending them away for defaulting on their school fees and NOT because of economic hardship.

And if yes are you a student?
Because I am in the UK and I am a student.

Like I said who wears the shoe knows where it's hurt.

Lots of school are sending students away due to economic hardship. From Scotland to England most had given February as last date else they withdraw your CAS.
Even before now lost are doing more than 20...still de collect pst As in many. Can you even pay your bills with 20?

Nigas weh de sell 2k monthly for school forums na 20 give them?
SO LIKE someone said this is public forum.. No be everything I go vomit or argue with u so rest.

If you earned more than £12,570 a year you will be taxed at 20%, that is any amount above £12,570. Your friends who are not paying tax will receive a letter from the tax-man by April to do so. If you over paid they will also send you a check to claim your over paid amount.
