Is there any experienced Project Manager or a highly experienced Project Support Officer here, please?

The candidate needs to be SECURITY CLEARED and has good demonstrable experience.

A recruiter friend/colleague of mine has a couple of vacancies to fill. The gig is a contract role, and pays ~£450 per day (INSIDE IR-35).

Please note that the most important ‘qualification’ is SECURITY CLEARANCE. Followed by good experience.

Hit me up if you are up for some contract gig.

Hello LaaJiblik

You helped me out with my question about my short term study visa last year and I was hoping you could help me out again.

You mentioned that you applied for a short term study visa in 2015 and 2016 for a 4 month course if I recall correctly. I was wondering how long your first course was for and how much time elapsed between your first visa and second visa.

I’m looking to apply for another short term study visa. I applied for the previous one in July 2019 and it ran from Aug 2019 to Feb 2020. I want to apply again at the end of Sept for a 3 month course but I’m worried that the time between my previous course and this new course is too close.

Please what do you suggest? Thank you.

If you have a place on the course, you are good to go. I wouldn't worry about how close the two applications are, to each other.

Hello nairalanders,

Pls advise.

My university offered me MSc admission this Fall 2020 with a remote online study option and entry to UK in January.

I took the remote online study option.

My question is, will it affect my visa application in November in any way?

The main reason I chose this option was to gather enough funds towards January. I'm also thinking the Living expenses may be reduced since it's a January entry.

Is there any downside to taking this option pls?


You will still be required to show proof of funds for 9 months.
Besides, what does reduced expenses imply? Lesser Total rent to pay per annum? If so, yes you are right.

Hello guys,

Can any one assist with clarification on Tier 4 Sponsorship (Bank Statement).

I have made 50% tuition payment and also have the required balance for both tuition and maintenance in my bank account. Good Man
My question is that I'm a bit skeptical about the questions being asked at the Visa interview Why are you skeptical?
and I'm considering going through the parent-sponsorship route. Any reason?

However, all sponsorship letters I have seen always reference the Parents' accounts.

P.S The money is in my bank account .
MONEY IS IN YOUR ACCOUNT. MONEY IS COMPLETE. MONEY HAS ATTAINED AT LEAST 28-DAY MATURITY. You are Good to Go.

Again, why exactly are you skeptical? Say it, and your Skepticism can be allayed.

It appears you are really focussed on this UK driving waka. Let’s assume you even get the international license which allows you to drive in the UK for 1 year, have you considered the car you will be driving? Do you already have a car? Or you want to buy a car as sooN as you get there? Or maybe you have a friend or relation who is already there and who is happy to put you as an additional driver of their Car? Is immediate driving in the UK really necessary for you? Maybe you need to cool down a little and think carefully about car things...

I know they will soon come after me, but this is RIDICULOUS!!

You were in SHU for at least 1 FULL year.
You were there as an Adult, for a MASTERS.
You come to a forum of PROSPECTIVE applicants, most of who have not stepped out of NAIJA on a tier-4 visa before, asking for a list of schools?? Are you for real??

I can answer your question on how to get PhD admissions in the UK. But this your current question is outrightly ridiculous.

You mean some universities will require me, to write a consent letter, consenting for my son to travel with me and my wife? Even with a valid birt certificate?

I think you might be mistaken.

Some unis require it fir healthcare courses. So it might be needed during the visa process.

Hi everyone

Please must the self maintenance money(money to be kept in the account to support me while I study) be in my surname or can it be a diff surname. I am married and I am wondering if it can be in my husband’s name. I have done a change of name at the court but all my documents are carrying my maiden name so I don’t want to have any issues with the embassy concerning the details of the money for upkeep/maintenance.

I will appreciate a swift response to this please, thank you.


You mean all your documents are carrying your maiden name, but YOUR bank account name is in your husband’s name?

Do you happen to have an ‘old’ bank account which has the name that matches the name on your documents?
If yes, transfer the maintenance money to that account.
Problem solved.

thank you very much for your prompt response. i am grateful.

I am definitely going to complete this masters which end in sept. the worst case scenario is that I will ask for a post graduate diploma cert or so. or accept the mark 0 which will drop my grade from credit to pass.

I need help with how to go about a second masters application. the schools I applied to knows my situation and asking for transcript as part of my offer req.

I don't need my current m.sc grade to get another masters, Getting admission for another masters is not the problem here. Getting a visa to study for another masters is the koko of the matter as far as I complete the course and come out with something to show I attended the sch. 2nd masters is accessed with yur b.sc but just need my completed results for visa and progression purpose.

I have cald my sch to ask the outcome of compulsory academic training but they dnt have a response yet. the person said she doesn't no that they will let me no. I am just curious to know the situation of such outcome if anyone hav had the same experience as my self please kindly share I know of someone who had something similar, the person cleared everything with the school first, before they applied for a 2nd masters - which they are currently doing.

Thank you for your response pls more suggestions/advice are welcome please. Thank you

to each their preference.. yes they are cheaper airlines but they always have several stop overs with plenty of waiting time..
we have tried those a lot recently and it is hectic handling toddlers and changing flights..it's not funny at all...
so we decided if the cost is below 1k USD, we would stick to KLM..
definitely not BA..I stopped flying them years ago..they haven't dropped their prices for the past 5 years...
also location matters.. most cheap flights are to London.. if you are going elsewhere and you want to go to London first, before using bus to travel to your location..that's another 5 -10 hours road trip..another long trying period of answering " are we there yet?" " children, sit down quietly.. etc" before getting to your destination, when you would already been there hours before...you get the drift..
and besides, when we added up all the costs for such routes, it ended up being more expensive than using the slightly more expensive flight..

To [b]summarise, using cheaper flights might be okay for singles [/b]but may not be the same for families travelling with children.


@ the bolded:
Singles without money.
Singles with money take private jets.

Families without Money (even if it’s 5 noisy uk toddlers) take the cheap flights.

Hello guys, I have a bit of a headache I will need your advice on. My initial plan was to book a hotel to stay for 2 nights and then sort my apartment from there but with the latest development that says we have to stay at our arrival place for at least 14 days, I am confused on what steps to take next. I do not wish to stay in the University's owned accommodation and a hotel for 14 days is way too expensive. I also checked travel lodge which seems a bit decent for the purpose of isolation at about £470 for 2 weeks but they want a pre-payment. Can you provide the best solution(s) to this?


In these CoViD-19 era, schools are taking extraordinary steps they would never take one a good day’.
If I were you, I would sit down, compose an email to the school, telling them exactly how the 14-day quarantine period will have massive dent in my finances. I would even subtly slide in a line about how I may be forced to forfeit the admission should I require to stay in a hotel for 14 long days. Then I would ask the school if they have any plans for offering free temporary ‘Quarantine’ Accomodation for international students.

Just wait for the reply.

The school awarded you free Accomodation for 1, 2,3 semesters?

3 semesters out of how many?

If 3 semesters translates to free Accomodation for the entire duration of your schooling, that is GOLD!!

If you require the best advise, you may need to provide a bit more information.


PS:
Coventry University have a postgraduate course with £9,000 only school fees, for an international student? Or is the 9k for 1 semester.

Tuition:9k
Waiver:4K

There is just ONE truth.

Honesty is the best policy.

If you tell the truth, you do not require another ‘truth’ to prove that truth.
If you tell untruths, you will always need more untruths to cover the untruths and end up entangled.

Super priority and priority visa wa suspended because it’s within their rights to suspend it. They call the shots

The questions that would be ask by UK consular:
They are the easiest and simplest questions that can ever be asked if someone who is prepared, and have genuine intentions, with nothing to hide (in other words, person wey prepare, and him ways pure go stroll through the questions).
