Nigerians are found of making noise, exposing themselves with unnecessary attentions. On the street of London, I saw lots of frauds being committed by Pakistanis and Indians yet you'll see them with low key lifestyles. For some of us who have lived years in UK, have you ever asked yourself why almost all Indians GP are Patel's? Let learn how to stay calm!

OdogwuEkeke:
Hello Good Morning Patriots,

This might sound off but I think Nigerians need to learn how to do things hush - hush

Recently, there was a trend on Twitter about people gloating over leaving the country in mass.

We need to learn how to manage the information or the impression we put out there. Especially the dynamics of your leaving, cos before you know it, the authorities are aware of the whole thing and could generalize blocking road for others coming. This has happened in the US and is currently happening in Germany and some other countries.

No dey put the gimmicks online abeg.

Punkydude:
My dear, the thing really got me worried. we Nigerians are fond of blowing up any bridge we cross. My colleague at Uni of Hull has been pepperising us with pictures and all (not hating) but the twitter thing is just not necessary.

One thing i know for sure is that UK waka wont be this easy next year.

@ Patnuel 2015, thank you very much for your incredible assistance. May God enlarged all your territories. Honestly you're a plus to this forum. Remain bless!

Patnuel2015:
Yes it's same as Form A rate

Thank you for your candid information.
Quite insightful and helpful.
Pls is the conversion from naira to dollars better than aboki rate? Thank you.

Patnuel2015:
Ok this is how the africard work.
There is one for naira Africard naira
And the one for dollars africard dollar.
It's a prepaid card, when you go to Uba. You fill a form and the card is given to you instantly.
You can find the naira version of it with naira in the bank. You will be able to use it to pay for any transaction worldwide. But the limit for the year is 10,000 dollars, when you make payments like visa or IHS, the card will do the conversation itself and send the money.

Can you kindly enumerate further on how UBA africard works pls? Does he going to funds the account with dollars by himself or he can use dollars equivalent when open it with naira.
Kindly juxtapose more on this pls. Thank you

Patnuel2015:
Use a dollar atm card, barter by fluterwave or UBA africard

Yeah you got plenty answers to the question if you're attending the school for graduate study.
1. You can help the school as a mentor. Mentoring new admitted students from your country. Be part of university ambassador, even in recruiting etc.
2. You can as well take up studentship jobs, by assisting in Laboratory, researching and workshops guides to undergraduate students of course you should be able to confidently handle all these if you're good and collectives.
Your benefits as graduate student is endless I stand to be corrected if am not making sense.
Best wishes!

EmeeNaka:
Good day all,
Please how can I answer this question;
How does school benefit from having you on the Course/Program?
I need to answer this as I want to apply for a scholarship.

Eya! I felt your pains. With the look of things the university in question has set out approximately time for international students enrollment and so on. I suggest you deferred your admission to January 2022 if they've intake for January. Obviously, this is best option to avoid unnecessary stress and free from undue pressure. Best wishes.

Librakareem:
Hello All,

My spouse has been having a challenge with the school she applied to ,she has been asked to either defer or terminate admission if she's not able to upload her Visa page by 27th of September 2021 to complete enrollment.

She has fulfilled all of their previous asking to complete enrollment which was the additional 50%(5k+) after initial deposit of £ 3k.

Her Visa application is ongoing and she just did her biometrics on the 22nd(priority) . What do you suggest we do here ?

We've sent different mails to the admission team and it seems there's nothing they can do from their end . They insist visa page must be uploaded on the 27th.

Yeah, they've started sending letter to students, request for credibility interview as a part of requirements to give out CAS.
Possibly your applications might not require any credibility interview before sending your CAS letter.
Best wishes!

Rabato:
Did anybody here apply to Birmingham city university for January intake?

Sorry about the refusal letter. Besides, I suggest you have to include necessary information in order to expedite the refund.
If you have not received your IHS refund and you think you qualify, you will need to email the IHS refunds team at: IHSrefunds@homeoffice.gov.uk. In your email you should include your name, your sponsor's name, your Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) number, your IHS number and the date on which you paid the surcharge.

Tolvin:
Hi Guys, please how long does it take to receive IHS refund from UKVI after visa refusal? I received a decision letter on August 2nd and it's been over 7 weeks already. I have sent series of paid emails to them and they've not responded.

cc @justwise and others

Yeah, if the airline has been lifted out of UK red list you can go ahead with the booking.
I do flying Turkish Airlines during my undergraduate program from Nigeria to London, London to Nigeria vice visa.
Back then they have reliable planes and cabin crews are friendly, only that you need to buy strong travelling bags and try to sealed off all your belongings because Istanbul international airport is very busy airport where lots of passengers bags used to be roughhanded and possibly broken.
Have a wonderful flying experience!

Mrsmodupe:
Very Urgent Please!!!

About to book Turkish Airline right now please, can I go ahead? I know they are out of red list now but yet to see anyone book them. And also, is Travel Beta reliable ? Please some should help out. Thanks

Congratulations. Can you kindly share the context of the work restrictions on your visa.
Thank you.

pinkasso:
Visa alert Visa alert!!!!

Make una help me thank God oohh...no interview, no call, no prior e-mail,.....but in my spouse visa I noticed there was restricted work or something like that....abeg anybody don experience this before??...I thought my spouse can undertake non restricted work..

Refunds
You’ll get a full immigration health surcharge (IHS) refund if:

you paid twice
your visa application is refused
you withdraw your visa application
You’ll get a partial IHS refund if your visa application’s successful but:

you get less time on your visa than you asked for
any dependants on your visa application are refused
If you are due a full or partial refund for these reasons, you do not have to do anything to get it. It will be automatically paid to the account or card you paid with.

You will not get a refund if:

your visa application is successful but you do not come to the UK
you leave the UK before your visa ends, for example to make a new application
you’re told to leave the UK before your visa expires
you’re applying for indefinite leave to remain
I hope this will help. Best of luck Brother

Gunit87:
SADLY I DIDN'T GET MUCH HELP AND SUGGESTIONS REGARDING MY ORDEAL IN MY PREVIOUS POSTS.
DEAR HOUSE PLEASE HELP. HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANY ONE BEFORE?. WHAT CAN I DO?? MY BIOMETRICS IS 21ST.

Finished my application on 16th and booked for biometrics on 21st.

1. I am accompanying my wife, I just realized I entered a wrong Visa Expiry date ‘15 March 2024’ instead of course end date ‘ 30 Sept 2022, while filling information on IHS health surcharge which caused me to pay $ 1,690 and my wife paid $1,014. Please what can I do to rectify this. So worried right now.

2. Does this have a serious implication on my application decision?

Your response is critical and valuable pls!!!

I personally think this platform is meant for dissemination of information, especially for those of us that urgently needed assistance for where we are in doubt. I understand that there unscrupulous elements out there who might abuse this golden opportunity but then there is not enough reason to turn an open questions and answers where people can learn to a private hitherto.
However, I commend the efforts of those who have been wonderful helpers to all us. Above all, to all evil agents around you'll surely be disgrace at last!





[quote author=solalal36 post=105931675][/quote]

Good evening my people.
I urgently need assistance on how to get a correct figures for IHS fees.
What would be the exact amount to paid for IHS, if my course starts date is 24/01/2022
and course Ends on 03/02/2024.
Can someone helps me out with correct calculation. Just confused!

Eya! So sorry about that. I think there must be errors on the part of consular officer having refused an applicant an entry visa without a ground reasons. I suggest you consult your visa application centre for complaints, possibly you might filled an administrative reviews.
Just relax and be courageous it shall surely end in praises!

rukkykelvin:
Hello, my people; Today has been a sad � day in my house. My sis who applied for a student visa since the last week of July on got an email today to go pick up her passport at the TLS office Abuja after so many delays despite paying for priority service.

When she picked up her passport there was no visa stamp on it to make the matter even more confusing, there was no letter stating reasons for her refusal as well.

Please house we need advice on what further actions to take on this case.

I suggest you contact your university on this.
To be honest with you, payments plans used to be drawn during your enrollment period. specifically, when you've gotten your visa and landed in UK. The finances/ students affairs dept can then ask you during your first enrollment payment on how you desire to remit the rest of your tuition. Some schools give room for 3,4 or 5 installment, it all depends on how convenience for you to pay all. Just try not to fail agreed plans! Best of luck

Zinnex99:
Yes, I think about 5 installment for the fees after paying acceptance

No worries, your previous refusals has nothing to do with your current application. The idea of pre CAS is how you can sell yourself. Above all, your institution just want to be sure that you are real applicant and have finger tips information about your programs and the university itself. You don't have reasons to be worry, all will end in praises!

quote author=Greatadams post=105811016]good day house just did my pre-cas interview and i think i did very well but didnt know i was going to be asked about my previous refusal so i told the interviewer been refusued twice one canada one in the USA am just wondering is that going to be a negative to my application[/quote]

Paying tuitions with fly wire is quite disastrous unless you got plenty monies or you're urgently on a red flag. I do encourage applicants, to apply early as possible in order to make use of banks form A systems.
If you are related to Dangote, I suggest you go ahead with fly wire, services are faster and reliable of course as it names implies "fly wire". Best of luck!

Egocen:
Please who went to university of Salford manchester?

did you pay fees with flywire and not into the university's account??

help

I wan confirm
thanks

I laughed to my intestine when I see people talking without studied or being in UK before.
Honestly, as an international student in any of UK universities, you are warned to have reasonable funds before attempting their university corridor. Their motto is No mercy, once you cannot meet up with your tuition you're automatically disable from school facilities, ranging from submitting course work online, turntin, presentation, library and council tax exemptions etcetera. You'll definitely be frustrated and out of focus. However, I will strongly advice those concerns to avoid working above 20hrs a week if and only if they need PSW at the end of the day.
Life is not rossy as most of us anticipated. Above all, the UK control systems are perfectly working they have records and only those who abide with rules will be hitch free. Let us be guided!

Rabato:
Who wan read book sef? Nonsense, Rubbish book

I honestly believed in the first place that you're flying Royal Maroc airline just because is cheaper and cost effective. Of course you need to be ready to pay the price.
I flee the same Airline during my undergraduate days from Nigeria to England.
Just because I was looking for cheap ticket then. You'll see their plane long like Lagos molue, loaded with different international runs girls that needed to stop over going to Italy & Spain. Omo if possible sort for another airline!

samoji84:
Hello,
Do we have anyone who has flown Royal Air Maroc and travelled with three pieces of 23kg luggage?
I am flying with the airline, and my ticket shows 3 pieces of luggage.

That's nice! Can I have any of your prefer contacts then so that we can be of help to each other in areas of school information & visa applications. Thank you.

Rabato:
Yes, I deferred to January 2022

Has BCU offered you unconditional admission already for January intake? Guess you're going for postgraduate program as well.

Rabato:
Thank you! Make I just jeje stick to my Birmingham city university abeg!

Yeah, there are lots of Universities that run January intake for postgraduate courses. You can checkout Birmingham City University, University of Manchester, University of Greenwich, University of Sheffield, Teesside University, University of Sunderland etcetera.

Okayoo:

Excellent day to you all.
I'm seriously confused with maintenance funds issue that I think it's better to ask questions in order not to be nailed.
Apart from spouse, should I still need to accounts for £6,120 for a little girl of 2years?

Let me enlighten you more on this “Visa applications are considered to be non-straightforward (identified as complex) when an Entry Clearance Officer determines that additional information is required in order for a decision to be made and that these enquiries will take longer than the published service standard,” I hope I have explained enough. Greetings

Olaola01:
Pls how will someone know if its not non straightforward maill.. How will it be written. Thanks
