Thanks God bless you big time

mimilyrics:
No, you won't be able to take a dependant until it's time for the postgraduate part of your studies.

Good morning everyone, I know an international student going for undergraduate study is not eligible to travel with dependant while it's the opposite for Postgraduate study. If I am going for top-up that will make me cross to Postgraduate study after completing the top up study, am I eligible to travel with dependant if am going for top up now?
Thanks for your response in advance

I thought I saw that it has been suspended for now

mimilyrics:
No, it hasn't. If it will be stopped in future (very unlikely), the information will be on the UKVI and VAC websites.

Yes you are filling the right form,all you need to do is to filling in your UK school address. The address and postcode should be on your offer letter

Mosopea:
Hello house,

Please when I was filling the form to book a test at IOM , I was asked to fill in my uk address, postcode and number on the 3rd form ? Am I using the right form pls.

I experienced similar issue,I guess you are using google chrome browser,try to use another browser and I believe you will complete the process smoothly.

girlsupersonic:
Hello guys I need your help. I tried confirming booking the iom test via the Iink sent to me after my booking but the link keeps saying I have an old registration. The problem is that I have never registered before. I've tried mailing and calling but no response. Has anyone gone through a similar experience?

Was the ticket price stated? If yes,how much?

Donracy:
I contacted Ethiopian Airlines today via twitter to know their flight dates because I need to fly down from Dubai to Lagos for my visa application and TB test, they told me that they have flight schedule for July 16th to Lagos. But it's subject to change should Federal Government imposes a restriction and I have been thinking. Is there anything Federal Government is not telling us?

If I will be travelling with a dependent does my dependant also need to undergo the tuberculosis examination?
Please anyone should help with an answer

Which school please?

solarinde:
I received CAS today from my school. That is a sure hope that internationals are welcome to Uk in September. Those still expecting should keep hope alive.

I'm going to a school that is outside London which means my Maintenance fund should be £9,135 but I'm actually working on having £10,000 in my account based on the current exchange rate. I hope this helps

bayosegun:
Please what's the best factor to work out £1 exchange to naira in case there's a flutuation in £ when putting maintenance funds for 30days. Is £500 to 1£ ok?

Just got the below message from my school Africa Regional manager

the UK is proposing opening its borders wider as we speak to further countrries

students will be coming to the UK this September 2020 1000000%

the UK govt is working with all universities on this


That’s the assurance we want to hear

so yes, government is working with all universities on September 2020 and serious discussions are under way, but yes, commitement there for students on campus do not worry

we are hoping to start sending CAS's this week, any day

Please no rough play ooo, I believe UK no longer belong to the EU. I just pray there is no loopholes.

naledis:
(As seen on The Pie News), universities around the world are planning on chartering planes for international students (read Chinese and Indian students) to bring them onto campuses, as part of a bid to tackle travel disruption caused by Covid-19.

Interesting times we’re in

Going on Tuesday

pittoilet:
Anyone going to IOM ikeja on monday for tb test?

Thanks so much.

My course at USW wasn't accredited but just got accredited when I check the course page yesterday.

mimilyrics:
It grants you exemptions from some professional exams thereby enabling you to achieve certain professional qualifications quicker because you don't have to write as many exams.

Please any prospective student of University of South Wales in the house, let's connect.

Please anyone in the house....

What's the advantage of a Postgraduate course been accredited by a professional body?

Latest early next Month,it ought to be this month but I guess there was difficulties due to the pandemic

Sanitizer:
When exactly in July will they start issuing out CAS?

Did I say you are wrong? Why is your blood always hot,you better calm down.

I was only stressing on what you said base on the information I have.

Skymoore1004:
Why are you mentioning me exactly? Wasn’t that what I said? Did you even read my initial post before this quote? Please dey your dey abeg

To apply for visa in another country especially Ghana,you need to show a proof that you've been a resident of Ghana for at least 6 months. This is the major rule.

Skymoore1004:
Visit visa ma and even at that, still need to have a solid reason & evidence as to why you cannot apply from your country of residence

Exactly there should be a plan B,C and D

STENON:
CoS is not just an employment letter wey you just fit jam for express road. The requirement is alone is scary for most employers. It's easier to have a plan B apart from eyeing or focusing just on the CoS.

Booking of appointment has actually started. A friend of mine booked 9th of June through email which was after he made the payment,got a reply 10th of June and was told to come for the test 17th of June.

gsk4reality:
Just call the IOM tb test office now. Was told the test fee is 57800 naira.
You can book any day (I guess work days) from the 21st of June.
The lady asked for the age of the person doing the test. I guess that determines ao much one will pay...
Seriously that's much o...
Didn't think I will pay that much at all...

It's seems we are getting there gradually.

I believe Nigeria center will be reopened this month also

faks10:
this should help inform us better

You still haven't corrected me if I was wrong,the latest update on 1st of June didn't make reference to the April 20th update, in fact the latest update is more of a positive news for everyone in a way.

Here it is below:

1 June 2020
Updated information about Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS): Applications can now be made to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for a new ATAS certificate.

29 May 2020
Added information on the extension of concessions from 31 May 2020 to 31 July 2020, updated list of NHS professions in which Tier 4 students can work full-time, as well as other extensions and concessions.

pittoilet:
It was "last updated" on June 1st.

Old or new at least it gives us an insight into what to expect and prepare for.

This whole stuff what updated on the site in April (Published 20 April 2020). Please correct me if I'm wrong. The news is old

Gradually things are getting clearer and better.

The 14days UK quarantine imposed on travellers took effect today. Someone who travelled into UK today from Boston shared her experience, she said she said common Temperature testing wasn't conducted on them and there were only told my the world of mouth to stay at home for 14days.

The UK Government site is now open, if you need an ATAS certificate you can apply for one now.

I hope UK schools will factor in the 14days quarantine period that the UK government will introduce in few days time,I hope this won't affect international students.

Hi Bleep,
As an applicant to one of our courses, we understand you want to know what the start of your first term at Birmingham City University will look like if you join us for your studies, including how you would be taught and what safety measures we'll have in place.

This is our pledge to our students:

The majority of your scheduled course teaching throughout the 2020/2021 academic year would take place face-to-face on campus. For most courses, this will begin on 21 September 2020. Exact dates for your course would be sent to you if you enrol as a BCU student.
We will offer a flexible arrival across the first four weeks of term for those who need it, with international students allowed to start at any point until the 8th week of term to allow for any quarantine period imposed by the British Government. Should you need to take advantage of this flexible arrival, we will make sure you do not fall behind in your learning by providing you with online teaching which you will need to access at home.
Our focus is on high-quality, small-group (groups averaging 15) teaching in person, with some digitally-enabled content to ensure no student misses any learning.
All on-campus activity will be delivered using all necessary safety measures to keep students and their academic tutors and advisors safe, including social distancing, and use of personal protective equipment, as appropriate.
You would still be able to take advantage of the academic and social opportunities which University life offers – with on-campus spaces made available to clubs, societies and volunteering run by our Students' Union.
You would also have access to a comprehensive programme of individual support provided by a range of student services including the Centre for Academic Success (study skills), Graduate Plus (employability skills), our careers service and our library and learning resources.
Our mental health and wellbeing team, including seconded NHS staff, are here to support you throughout your time with us to ensure you achieve your full potential.

Our amazing National Health Service (NHS) has taken care of people from around the world during this global pandemic and will continue to do so. In addition to support from the University, NHS services are available to both domestic and international students.

You may have heard about international travel measures being introduced by the UK Government. International students should not worry; Government has promised it will work with universities to ensure students are welcomed to the UK and are supported on arrival.

It seems UK schools are already having greenlight on how academic program will be run for September intake. I personally have gotten a mail from Birmingham City university and USW on how academic activities will be carried out starting from September.

Birmingham City university was more explicit and clear saying most majority of learning will be on campus learning and the school intend to put into consideration social distancing and other measures in place.

This is also similar to what USW said and I noticed someone also talked about the information he/she got from Bournemouth university.
