@bountimore,
Yes, they advise applicants to make photocopies of all documents especially those you hope to receive back. It is true that the copy of your passport data page is given back to you with a refence number to enable you track your application online.

Please, every prospective applicant should be up to date with the tier 4 page on the ukba incase any changes are made, Read the terms and conditions no matter how long they are. It helps, And follow whatever advise and terms are given there.
I wish you all God's favour

The reference letter I said I submitted should not confuse people. It was a letter the school I applied to requested to see proof that I was taught in english here in nigeria to be able to assess me by* that meant I didn't have to write the ielts test. Different schools will have their requirements and what they can work with so it is advisable to write to the school and ask them about that and what exactly they need to test your english. As the the currency rate, yes, some people may get away with it but why bother when you can just print it as it was mentioned in the new conditions for the tier 4 visa. And because some these people look for the flimsiest reasons to deny entry, its better to just add it.

I am not a man oo, Hehehe, It is advisable to add a personal statement in the additional information column or on an extra sheet. State how you would like to study in the prestigious university and plans of returning to nigeria and how you plan to put your course to good use back here in Nigeria. Referencing your docs is just numbering the pages and tallying the number and doc type on the added info section.

Sorry, I meant Naira to Pound equivalent,

@all,
Sorry I have not been able to respond so I am going to answer all the questions.

Please, endeavour to use all documents submitted to obtain your cas no matter how insignificant it may seem, Even emails to and from the school to clarify issues. So yes, I submitted the reference letter which mentioned that I was taught in english and email correspondence to confirm that they (the school) decided to assess me with that letter so I didn't need the ielts test. I used my personal bank statement showing enough funds to cover the maintenence fees and the balance of the tuition, I also made it a bit over for maybe things like my flight ticket (that is not required but we know how funny these people get), I plan to leave in september because remember that even while your visa starts running from say july, you are only allowed into the uk no earlier than 1 month before your school's resumption date, I got help to fill up my account from a relative but I insisted that he put as reference (mazamaza tuition fees) so that showed on my statement and they didn't query the source. I don't really know about laminated copies as I barely submitted a lot - just my transcript, statement of result, reference letter to state I was taught in english and a personal statement to aid my application where I reiterated my intentions of returning at the end of my course. With my statement was a coverletter frm my bank and that morning, I printed the pound to naira equivalent from www.oanda.com to show the exchange rate on the day of my application.

It might help to reference each document and arrange according.

I wish you all who haven't received theirs the very best. Just submit all you can and leave the rest to God!

@nology, I didn't write an english test. The univeristy assessed me in their own way by asking for proof that I was taught in english back in my country. Write to your school and ask them what they would prefer you do. Wish you all the best,

@dming, I only submitted my statement of result, transcript and bank statement. Then admission letter with my cas doc, Then a print-out of the conversion rate of pounds to naira on the day I submitted.
@nology, I applied for post graduate studies. It took 8 working days. I applied at the end of june and got the visa first week in july,

I know I saw that somewhere on their website. I think under the conditions or so. But I guess you would be fine because they will check themselves, It is just for them to see the rate on the day of submission. Wish you all the best

Maryini, you can submit a 6-month statement with the required amounted having sat in your account for 28 days, I think the fees is 68,850, And if you pay at the vfs office, you pay an extra 500, Remember to get a print-out of the conversion rate of naira to pounds from www.oanda.com on the day of your application, All the best

@dammiac, were you refused? If yes, what reason was given? Sorry

What's that silly segzy craze talking? I am sure you are even worse than the op, As if you would even let this happen to a good friend of yours, talkless of sister, We don't know what went down in the 9years but however you want to look at it, it is plain inhuman, And I didn't tell the greedy man to stay with her,

Just looking for a reason to dump ms. fat because of the teenager, Very soon, that one would dump him because he is old, Wait now, it won't be long, Greedy human!

When they refuse you on your passport, they usually write down a reference number and the date so if you have that passport, you would have that information. All the best

See how it bites? You can't imagine what you are doing to another man's daughter happening to your own daughter, abi? You think you can eat your cake and have it? Go and start praying instead of attacking people who are saying the truth because you have treated a fellow human like a piece of wood, I hope you end up sad and alone

Yes, write to them in an email and ask why you were turned down,

Besides, he might even have started giving her emotional wahala sef leading to depression and thus, the weight gain. Who knows,

I agree, the girl was really silly to have dated a guy for 9 years, When reason shoukd have knocked her off her feet after like 1 year of dating. She messed up big time,

Now, you have said the truth. You like teenagers. There's no escaping karma jare, Like it or not, Break up with ms. 28 in a very nice way

Turned down from the school or the embassy?

@cuddlemii, I agree, But karma will certainly bite him in the as.s and for a long too, Smh, Even the girl sef: what was she doing with a loser like him for 9 years? Let him tell us how old she is without mincing words

What am I saying? I would imagine that you could have asked yourself that same question before even having the shame to mention this epic story of yours in public, I feel so sorry for you, Make sure you break up with that girl, At least, let your life be miserable without her in it,

So 190 is a guy, Why has he/she been pretending to be a girl and confusing him/her-self, Come and see american wonder

^^^instead of dumping each girl after she adds weight, Ode!

Yes, I agree, Please leave the poor girl alone, But I hope for 2 instances and you can choose either as 1 will definitely be your lot - I hope she kills you or prays by 12midnight for 7days for you for wasting 9 years of her life, The truth in life is she would have added that weight anyways, it would have only been a matter of time. And get ready because your smallie will too. You are actually very shallow and I hope you end up alone instead dumping girls alone, Even supermodels get fat sef. Olodo

Just relax and pray, I know how you feel but what can you do now but leave all to God? It is well

Yes, they say 3weeks because that is the maximum it would normally take to process, But sometimes, its quicker and gets ready in a week or two, I was told 3weeks at the VFS office at ikeja.

8 working days, including the day I submitted my application

Praise God! I got my visa and wish everyone waiting for theirs the very best.

For which country?

@busybody20,

those geordie people even speak english, the scottish don't,

@likeithot,

yes, it is true, You have to go there like 3 months before you start school or work or else, person fit carry last for class when they got no idea of what is being said.

nothing interesting about the glaswegian accent. especially when you can't pick a word, even 'a' = eeee,
