keji11: Thanks,but will it be weighed (30kg stipulated for flight requirement)

gonelsystems: Thanks!! For the tuition fees, should it be for the 2yr period or only the first year

gonelsystems: I am applying to UKBA and want to know if its okay to have funds in my personal account and to also present my legal Guardians account with a court statement showing that he is my Legal guardian. Also, if my program is for 2yrs, do i need to show the total amount for the cost of living for the entire 2 yr period or one year

Ogbeche77: @candyboi, I m having problem accessing any mail sent from NL.. I got a notification you sent me a mail but can't view the content

mrkossy: oga if you honestly believe what you are saying then you will believe anything. UK govt is nothing compared with Nigerians no doubt but that does not mean that if something is not right i lk agree with it cos they ve got good govt. Its bad enough to ask students to go for a Tb test as if that's not enough they ask them to pay 20000 naira for a Tb test. Something you and i know its very wrong! I wonder why they never ask them to submit a HIV test result even when they know that its very common in nija. Nigerian govt is bad yes i know that and so what?

keji11: pls at POE/airport are u allowed to bring in your laptop or not

mrkossy: regardless of what anyone thinks. The fact remains we can drag it all we want. That's the reason why its like that at the first place because most of us are full of bullshits and prefer kissing the back side instead of standing up.

wilzz26: £3K was suspended since and its because we stood aginst it. Fine they are free to have health protection rules but i dont surport going to a uk desgnated place in my contry to pay more than what it should cost. That is what am aginst.

mrkossy: The problem with we Nigerians is that we don't want to tell our selves the truth. Despite the fact that deep down inside we know the truth, but most of what we say is crap. We open our arms and welcome anything said to us weather good or bad. Meanwhile without international students most of the unis here will close down. Its simple, this is just a way of exploiting and frustrating Nigerian students simple because they don't want them here. People can go on and paint it any way they want,try to make it sound better all they want at the end of the day the point remains that vast population or not hiv or not the whole thing is pure bullshit. That was how they placed a £3k embargo on first time visitors and nothing was done about it.

wilzz26: That as it may be. Its worth thinking but at the same time i know of students that schooled in Germany' and they are far competitive interms of out put and they both speak german and english language and can tell you they are verry good enginers today.

mr flow: Hello Guys, I need ur urgent advice and input on an issue:
I applied to go for vacation with my 1st daughter but we were refused. The reasons for refusal are given below verbatim;
U state dat u re going to d UK for a vacation.I note that d u av applied with a girl u purport to be ur daughter.u av submitted a birth cert and a letter u purport to be from d girls mother.d birth cert u submitted for the 10 year old girl was dated 3 days before ur visa application and 10 years after her birth. U av submitted no early fotos of urself with dis girl and ur wife.in d absence of any corroborating contemporaneous preef from d date of her birth,I am not satisfied dat dis cert shows that u re d father to the girl applicant that u av applied with. Furthermore u av not submitted adequate evidence so dat d signature on d consent letter that u av submitted from ur purpoted spouse can be verified(we used her drivers license as I'd as she didn't have intl passport den). It wld not be unreasonable of me to expect to see a copy of d passport biodata page so dat signatures can be verified. Given dis I am derefore not satisfied dat u are a genuine visitir to d uk and dat u will leave at d end of ur trip.....

After dis,I wrote for an adminsitrative review and attached d follwing docs;
1.About 40 family picyures dat shows our courtship from universit days to d birth of d child and her grwing up
2. Anoda consent letter from my wife with a sworn affidavit and her intl passport biodata page
3. A police report and court affidavit stating that d childs initial birt cert was misplaced a few days to d visa application and dat was why we went to national population sommision for anoda bcert.
4. Proof of my stable employment in d country and reasons why I will def come back to nigeria.etc

I sent the docs via DHL since sept 4th but av not heard anytin till date.pls what do u advise?

lahwummie: Hi guys....please I need ur advice urgently. I applied 4 visa n got d reply on 2nd, but was refused; reason cos of a past visit visa dat was refused claiming d bank called d sponsor( my ex husband) but denied it. So this present application I explained all n telling dem d bank neva called my husband. Now, ECo said I dint attach a documentary 2 dat claim. Please wat I want 2 know now is, should I go 4 a review or reapply? And watind of document am I 2 attach 2 my claim. My school resumes 20th jan
Please wats d best I can do. Tnx house

wilzz26: Anually the Nigerian student contributes over £1millon to Britain's economy. If i spent over two decades of my life learning and using a white man's language as my first language and that same white man tells me to pay $145 to be tested in that same language am[b] typin[/b] on now to comunicate and also to pay them $130 for health check. At this point i dont mind collecting my tuition fee back going to a contry where i have to first learn their language for a year and follow my coutse of study in their languge which i know is far better ty his mess one white english man is offering.

Mr Knowitall: JUSTWISE why can't you behave like a fully developed human being for once in your life?

Anyways, have a lovely day my friend.

miz Gene: I'll be travelling without dt cert,dont believe those with visa already are going to be affected cos d site says d cert is to be presented at point of application, will let u all know how it goes

ogakpatakpata: @julianauche19


l can see your previous post has been hidden,l guess the moderators don't want you to be a victim to funny characters online,l must commend the moderators for the good job they are doing on this thread, be very careful the way you ask for help online from people you don't know from Adam, be that as it may, since l have read your original questions/post, let me answer you this way:


It is better you/your brother is on ground physically here to approach any sincere and trustworthy company to sponsor either the freezone / labour visa application for him and pay since some companies are willing to sponsor such applications if you can afford the fee, in my personal opinion, l will not advise/suggest you do it from Nigeria due to the funny drama that so many guys have fallen into with agents in the UAE.

Secondly, we have so many fake/clone employment visa's all over the place, we have had some forumites coming to the forum to ask/ confirm if the employment visa issued/sent to them in Nigeria is fake or not.Don't send money to any agent/company in the UAE from Nigeria asking them to help you process your employment/resident visa's, most times, it ends up in tears,regret and pain.

Thirdly, l am not insinuating that it is not possible to get a genuine one,but, it is better you are here on ground and do it from here..........to avoid been a victim to wicked agents/companies, some agents can sometimes connive with some dubious companies to issue a fake employment/resident visa, alter the original informations and mail it to you, after money changes hands, they will start speaking in tongues.

lastly, l cannot put my finger on the exact page,but, it has been dealt with several times on this thread by different contributors, try and read back wards, avoid agents both on this thread and offline as much as you can so that your fingers will not be burnt........Good luck

wilzz26: ] i am also yer to seeNigeria on that list oo. Nigeria is not a tb prevalence contry and i know for sure that if all tier 4 applicants are tested it will be verry difficult to get 1 out of 100 with tuberculosis. This is another scam on Nigerians by the british goverment. Two yers ago it was english language test now for us whoes first and official language is english and to top it all a British colony. If Jamaica could be exempted from english languge test i wonder why Nigeria should be on that list. If they were to be sincere with them selfs is Nigeria rated by the WHO as a tb nation? And why do i have to get tested and pay in their own specified organization? Too many questions begging for answers. The british government is takng us for a ride. 22K plus visa fee of 80k plus meaning its a 122k t there about for student visa application and still didnt mention the pearson test of english language fee of 30k plus. So a total of 150k plus is needed to make a tier 4 application. The British government is in no way bettter than the Nigerian goverment in terms of making life difficult for people. Didn't tbey realize that we tier 4 students contribute to their economy due to educational tourisim. Things has really got to change as we can not continue to be exploited like this.

Did not see nigeria on the list too.

WHO:
TB is still a major public health problem in Nigeria, with the country ranking 5th among the 22 high TB burden countries which collectively bear 80% of the global burden of TB. The number of TB cases notified in the country increased from 31,264 in 2002 to 90,307 in 2008; more than 450,000 TB cases have been successfully treated free of charge in the past 5 years in Nigeria. The TB burden in Nigeria is further compounded by the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic and the emergence of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB).

miz Gene: Still can't find us der! Do a snapshot n show us pls.
@ swaggzflow to be honest I think Nigeria shd b der because of our population of hiv carriers, wherever hiv is,der u will find tb.not like we r d worst hiv nation, but our massive population makes d percentage of hiv significant. I am not 100% sure dt wat I am saying is still the current situation cos I am using info dt is a few years old,i stand to b corrected (with current data proof oo .)
Also 150k is even still 'ok', did u see dt some countries like cote d'ivore are compelled to get to other countries like Ghanadts at LEAST like 70k flight alone,hotel,feeding n time,energy, stress not included o. very annoying I must say.
I'll be travelling without dt cert,dont believe those with visa already are going to be affected cos d site says d cert is to be presented at point of application, will let u all know how it goes

miz Gene: I hv gone thru d home office page from the link, I can't find Nija on that tb certificate list, do I need glasses or something?
It would be a miracle though if we r not der...

swaggzflow: Hello guys..got a lil problem..Made a full tution payment of 10890( made an initial payment of 6445 on 22/11/13 then paid the balance of 4445 on 13/12/13 ) to the uni of lincoln... This payment was transferred from my dads account with UBA to the school. Then applied for my CAS on the 18th of dec..was made to understand that it takes 3 to 5 working days for one to be issued so as at the 28th of dec when I had nt seen any CAS,  I wrote back to the school requesting the reason for the delay. Due to the holidays, I jst received a reply from the admissions officer that I had correspondence with, informing me that its only a payment of 6445 that is reflecting in my account.  got furious and replied back outlining the payment shedule and attaching proof of payments (b4 then, I have always informed the same admissions officer of all payments I had made..attaching proofs also) I got from UBA for them to rectify the issue. called him also to convey my displeasure at the recent development hence he promised to get back to me by monday..dis is really nt a gud way to start the new year...how 4445 pounds go jst miss (are they learners)them tink say na beans..anyways guys shud I be worried..I hope to criously disturb dis guys by next week till the issue is rectified. plus no time too because according to them issuance of CAS stops jan 10th.

Guzye: I paid £300 initial and yes I have that in my CAS. But the full rent till July is about £3234 or so

Guzye: I have Paid all for tuition and a lil but for accomodation

Guzye: Please while filling the online visa form on the new UKBA website, these two questions are confusing me :- Please does anyone know how best to answer it?

Do you have any remaining fees and maintenance still due for payment? and
What original documents has been supplied showing evidence of funds for the fees that still need to be paid?
