Check for centrepoint international logistics on google. They're based in London. Used them a few times.

Mamatukwas:
Does anyone know any company who does Sea freight to Naija on a regular basis? And by regular I mean at least twice a month?

Kindly recommend if you do. Thank you.

If your friend is doing diligence checks for you and you trust her, then no p.

qonfupanda:
Alright, thanks for the info, I cant wait till I get there based on this isolation rules stated by the UK Govt,Actually a friend has checked the accommodation for me, she introduced me to her landlord.
Due to this pandemic, accommodation before arrival is mandatory.

You being able to meet up will be dependent on how fast the application is processed seeing as priority and super priority has been suspended till further notice.

Sweetkid:
Yea, when I say mature, my bank statement will be 28days during the first week of September. Middlesex University said they will issue CAS by the end of July, still yet to receive it. I have already done my TB test. My question is can I still make it to the UK before 20th Oct?

Usually there's no need to resend/ re-upload documents that have been successfully received except they are requested for again.

OptimisticOne:
Okay thanks.., pls is their a need for my sponsor to include it in the letter of invitation?
My sponsor sent all documents and invitation letter to British High Commission here from UK on 16th June(that's during the lockdown), pls is their a need for a resend by her to them, if she didn't resend hope it won't affect

Student visa?

drills:
Do one need to book an accommodation when applying. Or can one state that he will secure an apartment after the visa is confirmed . NOTE: I am not staying in school accomodation

I'm afraid that route won't work.

R0LL0N:
I have passed 18, going for msc

Yes it works but you need to have court documents assigning him as your legal guardian before you turned 18.
Your uncle depositing the funds in your account is your best bet. You don't need extensive explanation for the funds in your account as normally stating that your parents/family gave you the money for your UK study usually suffices for situations like yours..

R0LL0N:
My uncle still want to take the legal guidance route. I have pleaded with him to drop the remaining maintenance fees to my account. He said how will I explained to them I got such amount of money when am not working in central bank.... But keep saying if embassy sees that I have paid half of tuition fees and half of accomodation fees. I should be good to go getting a visa. Please does legal guardian route still work in Nigeria for student visa. M really confused.

Normally, you can with details of the accommodation option you intend to use but given these Covid-19 times, you might need to supply an address for self-isolation.

drills:
Hello, in the do you have an accommodation in the UK can I put No. And state, I would rent an apartment immediately after receiving my visa confirmation.

TB test certificates are valid for 6 months from date of issue.
Don't pay for any accommodation till you get to the UK except it's to your school. Better to see what you're paying for before you pay to avoid being scammed.

qonfupanda:
Hello my E-Family,

Please who is in Teeside University (Middles-borough) ??.
How long does Tuberculosis test last?. I intend travelling by October and I will be having my TB test 9th of August. Hope am still on track with this plan?.
In addition to this, I wana pay for my my house rent from naija (for me and my wife) I beg whats the cheapest option for me to make use of as this black market no dey favorable for now.
Thanks in advance.

I haven't used it or had anyone use it but you should be able to use it because it's a US-based financial institution which operates like a regular bank with regular savings and checking accounts and it's regulated by National Credit Union Administration, one of the financial regulators in the US in addition to being backed by the US government.

Bukieinyang:
Good Day Everyone,
Please can I use a bank statement from this bank
(United Nations Federal Credit Union) to apply for my CAS and also for my tier 4 student Visa?
Does anyone know about it?
I truly will appreciate your responses.
Thank you!!!!!

All documents can be uploaded right up to the time for your biometrics. Why pay N11,700 just to scan only your TB certificate?

bayosegun:
Can all other documents be uploaded using self upload and use self assisted for tb certificate during biometric. Or can the TB test still be uploading in addition some days before biometric

You stated that you're a student. What's your source of income? The business for which you're providing the CAC? The balance is good but UKVI will want to see evidence of your regular source of income. More information will enable you to get better and more concise advice.

Desmondeloghosa:
Hello house please this my first time of applying for UK visa my cousin is sending me and invitation, I'm married,
I have one landed property
Married certificate
Invitation letter
Balance of 2million
Marriage pictures
I'm still a student
I'm 29 of aver
I have CAC document
Please what my chance of getting the visa my passport is still a virgin
Please I need ur opinion

A certificate from any of the courts in Nigeria can be used; it doesn't have to be Ikoyi.

ashieduplus:
Hi everyone.

Quick question.

Can I use a wedding certificate at a magistrate court to process a Tier 2 UK visa? Or is it compulsory to go to Ikoyi registry?

No. Pension funds can't be used and RSA accounts fall under the pension funds.

nobleudeme:
Hello House, how true is this gist:

"You can use your RSA Account to support your statement of account for your visa application."

If yes this will help cushion the rude shock that I'm getting from our unstable exchange rate. As at today, it's about 505.64.

Yes.

toyclicks:
Ok thanks

That means its for those on a full scholarship sort of

Yes you can but what if you get a TB test appointment scheduled for a date after your booked biometrics appointment? It's better to have your TB test booking/result before booking a biometrics appointment.

Mobilipia:
Good evening everyone. Please can someone book appointment with out the TB certificate then choose the assisted service and take it along to the biometrics appointment?

No. You only fill that if your outstanding fees will be wholly paid by a sponsor.

toyclicks:
Guys,
I got a 2,500 GBP discount on my school fees. They called it Salford Business School Postgraduate International Silver Award.

My question is:

While filling the TB test link does this put me in "student with scholarship" category?

Maybe you missed out something. I just tried it using random details for a 1-year course duration and it worked the amount payable as £450

rs172:
I tried calculating it, but it's showing £0.00

Yes. You will pay £300*2 +150 = £750.
You can use the IHS checker to confirm.

PS: the IHS goes up to £470 per year in October.

Tohlah1:
What about for 2years course, are we going to pay twice d IHS price?

I already updated my initial comment with the IHS link and corrected typos before I saw your response; the total (visa fee + IHS for 1 year course) is £798 not £789 .
The link is below:

rs172:
Thanks bro..

Concerning the ihs checker, can you send me the link or how do i do it

My bad! I misread your initial comment.
It's £348 for visa fee + £300 (IHS for each full year for which leave will be granted) + £150 (IHS for the 4-6 months extra usually granted for 1 year study visas) = £798

You can also use the IHS checker to confirm how much you'll need to pay.

I have a relative in uk, that'll pay for me using a uk atm card, that why I'm asking for the amount of visa and nhs fees in pounds or dollar

Just count 28 days backwards from the date you submit your online application and print the statement covering those days.
The oldest date the bank statement can cover is the 31 days preceding the date of your online application.

Gloriouscrown:
My complete school fees and maintenance fees have been in my dom account for about 4 months now (untouched). Can I just print out my bank statement when I want to apply or do I have to start counting for 28 days? Please I need clarification on this.

Thanks

When you say mature, do you mean your 28-day count? Or do you mean that's when your statement will be ready for the 28-day count? Do you have your CAS already or will you just be getting it in Sept? A bit more details will make it easier to give you the appropriate answer.

Sweetkid:
Hello house.
My bank statement will mature first week of September, can I still make it to UK at least 20th of October for studies after visa interview?

Open a $ account, fund it via transfer (buy from BDC or from someone trusted) get a $ card and use it to pay your IHS and visa fees.

rs172:
Good evening, can someone help with the visa and Nhs fee in pounds or dollars

Ologtheo:
Good evening.
Please can a fixed deposit bank certificate be submitted instead of account bank statement at the school and embassy.
Thanks for your responses.

See quoted response below

mimilyrics:
I would suggest that you liquidate the fixed deposit and put it in a regular current or savings account.

Prior to 2016 when the guidance changed, certificates of deposit were acceptable in the prescribed manner (must not be frozen or inaccessible) as long as they were issued within 31 days of your application and covering the 28 days preceeding your online application.

Now the guidance does not explicitly mention fixed deposits and the areas of the guidance that imply it can be interpreted either way by the ECO.

Do you have any experience in healthcare? Most of the healthcare management jobs I've come across prefer people who already have some experience in healthcare/clinical settings.
Someone in healthcare might be able to point you to those management jobs that don't require prior clinical experience though.

Tadebisi:
@mimilirics and all, please what’s the job prospect of healthcare management? I looked into the course and it looks like what a management student can apply for.

It depends on the school. Deposit payment, offer conditions and tuition instalments differ from school to school. Most schools require 50% tuition payment before registration though.

quille11:
Hello guys,

Is it true that some schools accept 2k deposit before issuing CAS and after which they work out a flexible payment plan of up to 5 -6 months especially for masters programs of like 1 year?

Yes, you're right, I also thought so too but situations in which the bank statement was requested again because it was older than 31 days of the biometrics appointment even though the statements were within 31 days of the application made me think otherwise. But in those situations, the funds covering the 28 days prior to the online submission were intact.

dami24:
Mimilyrics are you show about this? I think it’s 31days from when you submit your application not biometrics

I can see that you've posted on the student visa thread and I've responded there.

Acuna91:
Tier 4 students visa.

Paid online as part of the online application.

Acuna91:
Thanks.
So, the money will be paid together with the Visa fee or paid when already in UK?

What visa are you applying for?

Acuna91:
Hello guys

Apart from the visa fee which is £348, I learnt that there is health surcharge too. Please how much is this health surcharge.

Anybody please??

Currently £300/year. Goes up to £470 per year in October.

Acuna91:
Hello justwise
