Hello everyone,

I have been following the "Japa" trends lately, and I have noticed a lot of heartbreak in the Travel and Education sections. Since the January 2024 rule change, most people believe it’s now impossible to bring your spouse and children to the UK for a Taught Master’s (MSc/MA/MBA).

The general news says: "Only PhD or Research students can bring family." But there is a specific legal loophole that most people are overlooking.

gibberish:
If I say something now they will say I'm talking gibberish.
Let me hold my peace.

The same person with two different IDs registered the same day. I know you have main ID

D!e that wrong narrative , u have helped no one, u only dropped info and yet stil say act like lord and savior over your half baked info . U even exercise power n control more than Seun Osewa that owns this platform. Check my profile u wud see I have been on here for over 10yrs and I have seen all your altercation on diff threads but never said shii cos I deduced u are full of vile. I jus decided to respond to ur n0nsense cos i was under d mention , if not i would have read ur rant like I have always do since time immemorial.

lol my information is half baked? Many have used the same half baked information to get a visa but for over 10yrs you are unable to get a visa even to north Cyprus.

I have been seeing your posts in many threads for yrs now and 10yrs down the line you are still here unable to travel to even a visa free country.

I’m not your problem… you are just not capable to help yourself

ddre330:
Lol he obviously doesn’t have good knowledge about what he’s saying. Yes their citizen can’t really afford such schools but it’s accessible to them one way or the other.

Who wan give you credit card to pay school fees lol 😂

When the student said they would come, they obviously showed proof they had all the required funding so most of his talk doesn’t hold water

Honestly some Nigerians got no ability to be sensible, I’m trying to help him see the calamity that awaits him if he comes to the UK unprepared financially and he is here chatting dust .

jaydave:
Shove your ego and mean attitude inside yourself man … In every traveling thread this is how u behave. You are that typical Nigeria person that ain’t happy seeing others migrate successfully..
You don’t own UK man, wtf is eating you up? all these your mean words on here gat nothing on me anyway

The more you type nonsense like this the more you prove me right, I don’t want other immigrants to be successful? Who started this thread and many others and run them for more than 15yrs now? Do you have an idea how many Nigerians and non Nigerian I have helped moved to the UK and other countries since I joined this section? I never collected a single penny or even accepted an offer to meet them for a coffee when they arrived.

You have no money to study in the UK neither do you have the brain to get scholarships, all you wanted is to cheat your way to the UK hence your outburst.

jaydave:
Oga dey calm down . We all know how this thing work, u think it’s easy to cough out 40-50m naira instantly just like that. You are here defending the oyinbo system that are in support of financing as method of payment for good and services.
Even their citizen can’t afford the tuition that’s why they created payment plan for them .
A business or economy without credit or financing procedure would crumble .
You think they don’t know the best way to meet up with tuition fee for majority of international students is to work while schooling ? They know all of these that’s why they even granted u d grace to come with dependent that would work without limit just so u can pay ur tuition balance . They even give u the opportunity to apply for credit card.
At d end of the day it’s a win win scenario bcus the percentage of students that didn’t mess up that grace are higher than those that messed it up. Their economy and education industry keep booming , whereas u as a migrant gets a japa pathway

There is no crime if one wants to travel via study route, work legally as d system permits and pay tuition balance. Stop discouraging us with your mean words please . No be everybody wey dey here be billionaire pikin. Probably u sef japa via same method but u are here condemning others and saying their idea is “m@dness”.

I'm used to gibberish from ignorant individuals like you, i have been here long enough to know that you have zero knowledge of what you are talking about.

UKIV did not allow the main applicant to come with dependant so as to work and pay fees, allowing you to apply for credit card means jack.

This level of ignorant is exactly why immigration rules keep changing for worse every year and genuine prospective students suffer.

AKAyomide:
That’s so crazy if the school had this bad experience about mostly Nigerian students. Most applicants dream to pay off their tuition balance once in UK

I think universities in the UK are being forced to take a stand, how would a student get a visa with complete amount then get to the UK and default on tuition free payment? Obviously that money never existed and schools have the right to demand for full payment or increase the deposit. They are not running charity organisations, it’s business.


Planning to work and pay remaining tuition fees is just madness because you are not sure of getting that job sooner.

AKAyomide:
Most universities in the UK have started adjusting their tuition deposit payments. If you had paid earlier but it was increased before issuing CAS numbers, you have no option but to pay the full amount. That is so pathetic to me and I feel sorry for the new policy of the university. I was about to make the payment yesterday morning when I noticed the change in the tuition deposit especially at Hull University.

I still don’t understand what the issue is here, if you can not afford the deposit how will be able to afford the tuition fee?

Universities have to do this because of our track record and to avoid what happened last summer. Universities have to chase students to pay up remaining tuition fees and many Nigerians went to social media and television channels to drag universities because of this.

HustlaOfLagos:
What if the person quits after 2 weeks?

It doesn't work that way, the person has to work for a certain period before the employer gets that money...probably 6months or more.

komanderz:
Good day Nairalanders, pls can someone help he... I applied for a certain type of UK visa from Nigeria that takes awhile for processing, then its TLScontact before they transitioned to VFS Global
I received an email from the home office that my application is successful (e-visa issued)that vsf global will get to me, a day after, I received an automated email (do not reply) from vfs Global telling me to submit my passport.
Application that was submitted more than a year ago in Lagos and I paid for courier return which I still have my collection slip with me hoping to receive and email telling me my passport is ready for collection and has been picked up by DHL with reference number for tracking.
I could not reply the vfs Global email and could not them on phone too, both vsf global and tlscontact.

Contact UKIV with your application reference number. You can call or email them though this is not free but it’s the easiest way to get in contact with them.

Just google paid email to UKIV you will see the link

Kemo88:
Good day everyone,

I’m here to share my story. I’m grateful that it ended in praise. Let me start by saying that I’m glad I joined this group almost 10 years ago. Back then, everyone here always advised dealing with immigration honestly, and that really helped in my case.

Secondly, if you have given birth in the U.S. before and you don’t have any urgent business there, try to stay away from the U.S. entirely , embassy or otherwise till this era is over. Also, if you know you might flout immigration rules or may not be able to properly inform the embassy of your plans, it may be better to consider another country to give birth to your child.

Here’s my story.

Last year, my mum applied for a visa via Dropbox (she has had several U.S. visas before). She was later called for an interview. My mum is very elderly and has started to forget things lately, so I accompanied her to the embassy. I did not apply for a visa; I simply went with her.

When we got there, the consular officer decided to interview me instead. I respectfully declined to be interviewed, but she refused. I considered walking out, but she already had both my passport and my mum’s passport with her. (I had to bring my passport in order to enter the embassy with my mum.) She told me it was too late to decline the interview.

Anyway, I decided to respond to her questions because I didn’t know what she might put on my record if I refused. She asked if I had any of my children in the U.S. I had no reason to lie, so I said yes. She asked when, and I said 2021. She then said that according to the rules, after 2020 you cannot give birth in the U.S. on a visitor (B1/B2) visa.

I explained that I had sent a letter of intent to the embassy at the time and that they informed me it was okay to proceed because I had medical complications. I had previously lost a pregnancy and was on the verge of losing the one I was carrying.

She said I was lying. She then pulled out a white paper (I used to think white paper was a good sign at the U.S. embassy until that day) and issued me a permanent ban from entering the U.S. I was shocked. It felt like a civilian being hit by a military-grade stray bullet. It wasn’t even my interview ,how on earth did I end up with a ban?

I tried to explain that she should allow me to retrieve evidence of the letter of intent I had sent to the embassy, but she refused. So I simply asked, “Is that all?” and walked away. The entire situation felt very strange.

When I got home, I decided to get a lawyer. I explained everything, and we began the process. We gathered all the documents and even swore an affidavit. The lawyer sent the documents to the embassy via mail and email. We CC’d every U.S. embassy email address in Nigeria and even some outside Nigeria.

They didn’t respond for almost two months. We sent a reminder still no response. So I started sending reminders every other week. At that point, the worst had already happened, so I felt I had nothing to lose.

About three months later, we finally received a response saying they couldn’t do anything because the consular officer had added a “no waiver” clause to my ban. I still didn’t give up.

I composed another email explaining everything that happened that day, attached all the documents from my lawyer again, and sent it.

A month later, they responded saying I should apply for a visa, pay the fee, schedule an appointment, and come to the embassy. They said whichever consular officer I met would determine whether I could receive a waiver.

I wasn’t sure I wanted to go through that process, especially given the uncertainty of the outcome in this era we are in. I had already lost hope, so I stopped emailing them.

About five months later, while I was praying, I felt strongly that I should send another email. In that email, I asked them to please investigate the matter again. I explained once more that I had informed the embassy of my intention to give birth in the U.S. because of my medical complications.

I also told them I had a clean immigration record. I had previously held over 10 U.S. visas. I had studied in the U.S., and I even once had a work permit that I never used because I wanted to return to my own country. I also mentioned that I had several UK and Canadian visas, as well as visas from other countries.

I explained how the ban had affected my career because many of my professional trainings require international travel, and I would have to declare the ban when applying for visas. I told them that my goal was not necessarily to obtain a U.S. visa , i simply wanted the ban removed so I could move forward with my life and career.

A few days later, I received an email saying that the ban had been removed from my record. They explained that the reason they reversed the decision was because they found evidence that I had indeed sent a letter of intent to the embassy. However, the embassy had provided me with incorrect information at the time. They said I should have been told that giving birth in the U.S. on a B1/B2 visa was not permitted. Because of this, they decided to remove the ban.

I was completely shocked.

I’m grateful that I listened to the people on this platform years ago who insisted that I send a letter of intent to the embassy. That single step ended up saving my case.

I don’t know how this story might help someone else, but this was my experience.

It will definitely help a lot of people, credit to you for not giving up.

I don't blame Trump for coming down on them harshly.

This is ignorance at its finest .

Do you know the mayor of London?

Zahra29:
Maybe Mr Polanski (not his real name) has the right idea afterall. He wants to cut ties with our long standing allies, the US and NATO, and instead move closer to South America e.g. Brazil and Mexico

It sounded looney at first, but in light of Trump's monthly wars, maybe we should actually tell him we don't want to be his friend anymore....🚶

Long over due, we reset after 3yrs.

what do you mean by fraudlent. you must be sick you can ban me if you want to.

lol..such a coward,why did you deactivate your account?

what's wrong why do my comment keep getting deleted?

Your fraudulent pof question will not be visible here.

Abikeadebey:
Thank you!!! But I was thinking hope they won’t ask me for tax clearance certificate, also i was thinking of getting someone else with a company account to pay me salary so I can say I work in the company to avoid tax clearance issh

Abikeadebey:
Who is promoting fraudulent act I asked 2 questions, should I keep paying myself salary from my company account or get my husband to pay me salary to avoid tax clearance issh, someone kind enough responded and said “ I should go keep paying my self salary and there will be no need for tax clearance….. y”all judgmental others started saying I was being fraudulent for asking questions and knowing how to perfect my application which is happening in 6months time….. stop judging without understanding the question you guys are not being helpful rather judging and being mean

You keep changing your story as you post.

Again your initial question is a fraudulent one.

JMG12:
I have reviewed your ODN; it is clear the VO didn't believe your story and the property you claim to have sold after acknowledging all the property documents you submitted.
Hope you have not taken out the money? Allow the fund to still be in the account; that is, if you did a POF, ensure the funds stay for 2 months if you can service it before reapplying. But if you didn't do POF, then just give it time without touching the funds before reapplying.

This should not be encouraged here.

jmoore:
Posting on nairaland or for this thread?

Both

Abikeadebey:
Thank you!!! But I was thinking hope they won’t ask me for tax clearance certificate, also i was thinking of getting someone else with a company account to pay me salary so I can say I work in the company to avoid tax clearance issh

BruceXavier is right, the above idea is fraudulent and should not be encouraged here.

Its funny how we put out such fraudulent idea easily as if its legitimate

@jmoore

Please remove the ad on your signature(not the one on your profile) if you want to keep posting here.

Thank you

Now, who's the propagandist?

You don't want people to see it?

You hide the bad parts of America & Europe, showing only the good sides but want me to show only the bad side of Russia?

You accuse others of something you're guilty of.

I get millions of views and thousands of likes on my Twitter page, mostly from White Americans who agree with what I post but here you are an African man defending the people who put your ancestors in chains.

This movement is bigger than you or Nairaland or me. Even your boss knows.

This is going to be my last response to all your nonsense but i will moderate you from now on.

Carry on with your Russia paid online propaganda elsewhere outside this travel section.

Done with you.

@WriteerNg

Please stop spamming this thread with the same Kamala Harris hometown images over and over again

Mattswaggz:
No matter how a western brainwashed bot tries to hide their identity they'll always end up exposing themselves......Almost all US leaders should be regarded as dictators then using the criteria you used on Putin but since they're ur paymasters you'll do exactly what you're paid to do. .

Mattswaggz:
Okay...now go get your paycheck from your masters.

Mattswaggz:
Now upload that of your paymasters let's see.

Now go and receive your propaganda payment f or today.

You got nothing else to say as Putin bootlicker?

Lol.... You're in pains and envy, it's obvious.

You're angry the world is talking more about Russia more than the US.

Yes for all wrong reasons, this is not about whether is a beautiful country or not, Obviously Russia is a well developed county with a functional facilities .However Putin is a dictator and i will say the same about Trump, late gaddafi, Mugabe, saddam hussein, Abacha and the list goes on and....

What you are (WriteerNg ) is a Russian propagandist, some of you are paid moles with the sole purpose to drum up positive image for Russian online.

yalo1234:
Oga I never asked anyone for anything that raises suspecion. I cant just post people's details openly without being sure. I dont think that's right. You yourself think about it, I just post everything about them here and it gets to them. Please tell me what exactly I am doing here that makes people to be careful dealing with me. Me thats openly asking for advice. Please think before you start accusing. I am even the one coming here saying I am not sure and asking for advise, I should start posting people's linkedIn in the open... the way some people behave online is funny.

There no recruitment agency that does their business only in private, if they have a linkedIn profile then they are public.

You asking people to email you so as to give more details about this company is highly suspicious.

I still suggest that people should deal with you cautiously

yalo1234:
I dont want to post their name online without being sure of anything first, I know the circumstance is mad doggy, but what if it's being wrongly interpreted?

I can, however, message you privately with way more details. I can respond if you send me an email, or if you are comfortable posting your email here, I will send more details with actual names and recruiter profiles on LinkedIn

Post the recruiter details here openly, there is no need asking people to email you for private chat.

If this is a genuine agency then there is no issue as they profile and feedbacks will be a public record.

Until you do that i suggest that people should be careful dealing with you
