Why not get an NPC birth certificate, doesn't take long nor cost much.

I was told it was started in 1988.

Candybright:
Please has anyone been able to book date for Tls ikeja of recent? Seems it's [b]only priority and super Priority appointments [/b]they are attending to.

Is walk in option available in Ikeja now?

can you kindly enlighten on the difference between these two and the regular appointment? Thanks

Pls which is I use between birth certificate of 1986 that is not from NPC and does not show name of parents, and a declaration of age from the court?

Pls which is better between birth certificate of 1986 that is not from NPC and does not show name of parents, and a declaration of age from the court?

ignis:
NPC is more presentable

What I meant to say is the cert is not NPC issued. Just a regular birth certificate from a hospital which doesn't show the particular of parents.

Pls which is better between a non-NPC birth certificate of 1986 and declaration of age from the court?

Hello

I won't be too concerned as long as first and last name are same

Cheers

Alright. Thanks

duchess90:
Hello

An affidavit should be fine

You can't tamper with the dates in these sort of official document as it turns them to falsified documents

You don't need your local govt identification

Cheers.

We are having a similar issue. But in my wife's case, her Bsc, WAEC and DoB certificates carry 3 names but her Intl passport and her Bank name carries 2 names with the middle name missing. Would she require an affidavit also?

NaughtyBrainiac:
Hello Nadingo,

I trust you are keeping well.

It is normal to be a Newbie. All our Ogas here were also Newbies at one point or the other.

Let me see if I can make your Job easier.


Below is a summary of the process

1. You apply to schools using:

a. Your first degree certificate ( BSc or HND)
b. Transcript
c. Biodata page of International Passport
d. CV
e. Referees
f. Statement of Purpose

2. You are offered Conditional admission or Unconditional admission ( Conditional in most cases).
For Conditional, you will be requested to provide some additional documents in order to get Unconditional offer. e.g Official Transcript, Scratch card to confirm your WAEC Engish Language grade online etc

3. You will make Tuition deposit payment if you are okay with the school. This can be done via form A or by paying using a domiciliary account debit card. Form A is cheaper but takes between 3 weeks and 10 weeks. For a Tuition Deposit of £4k, you can save up to N900,000 if you use form A.

4. You will go for Tuberculosis Test at IOM. There is Lagos center and Abuja Centre. The cost is N57,800 for 11 years and above. N21,320 or so for children below 11 years.

5. There's something called Proof of Fund. This is your Tuition Balance + Living expenses in the UK.

Living Cost for London:
Main Applicant is £1334 × 9months
Dependant is £845 × 9months

Living Cost outside London:
Main Applicant is 1023 × 9months
Dependant is 680 × 9months

Let's calculate POF for a student outside London with Total Tuition of £14 and Tuition Deposit of £4k.
Remember that POF is Tuition Balance + Living Cost
£10,000 + £9207 = £19,207

To get the naira value, you use the OANDA currency converter. Just search OANDA on Google.

Using an OANDA rate of Let's say 510 naira per pound, we have 19207 × 510 = N9,795,570. You can approximate your POF to be N11,000,000.

This means that you must maintain a minimum of 11m in your account for at least 28 days before you apply for visa.

6. After Tuition Deposit Payment is confirmed by the school, the school issues Unconditional Admission Offer after you must have provided required documents.

7. You begin CAS process by undergoing Credibility Check. This is a check conducted by the school to confirm if you are a genuine student.
Some schools call it CAS questionnaire, Some call it Pre-cas interview etc

8. If you provide satisfactory responses, you will be issued a statement or document called Condition of Acceptance for Studies (CAS). This is somewhat the most important document in this journey. It is what shows that a licensed school is sponsoring you to school in the UK.
[b]If your responses are not satisfactory, you will NOT be issued CAS and your admission offer will be withdrawn (you will be given more than one attempt)

9. Visa Application.

You will be scheduled for biometrics( Not visa interview) after filling the online application form and paying IHS and VISA fees.
IHS is Insurance Health Surcharge for your health insurance while in the UK.
IHS is £705 for one year per person( £624 is written on the UKVI payment page)
Visa is £363 per person

There are 3 centres for biometrics capturing in Nigeria. Abuja TLS, Ikeja TLS and VI TLS

10. Travel to the UK after visa is issued.

As for your wife who is a Third Class Graduate, there are schools in the UK that will offer her admission for direct Master's degree programme. However, she needs to do extra by making her Statement of Purpose winning and very convincing. Good work experience is another factor the schools consider.

Below are some of the schools a Third Class degree holder can consider:

1. Sheffield-Hallam University.
2. Roehampton University.
3. University of Sunderland.
4.London Metropolitan University.
5. University College, Birmingham.
6. Solent University.
7. Cardiff Metropolitan University.
8. Bedfordshire University.
9. University of West England.
10. University of South Wales.
11. Edinburgh Napier University.
12. University of Suffolk
13. Swansea University.
14. University of Essex.
15. Anglia Ruskin University.
16. University of Gloucestershire

For Total cost for your wife and 2 children, I will give a rough estimate of how much they will need to get them to the UK.

Tuition Deposit of £4000 with form A is around: N2,150,000 (including charges)

IHS for one year course: $885 × 3 @700 = N1,858,500
Visa: $460 × 3 @700 = N966,000
The UKVI payment page says IHS is reduced for children @£470. However, some parents said they paid same amount they paid for Adults. I have not confirmed that because I have never made payment for Child Dependant of a student. I have only made for Student and Dependant partner.

POF: Let's say Tuition balance of £8,000
£8000 + £9207 + £6120 + £6120 = £29447(Outside London)
@Oanda rate of Let's say 510, we have 29447 × 510
= N 15,017,970
POF is Approximately N17,000,000

Tuberculosis Test for wife: N57,800
Tuberculosis Test for 2 kids : N42,640

Flight ticket for 3: Budget N1.2m ( This depends on Airline, time of booking & time of travel)

Cash at hand at POE: £1.5k ( Will cover cost of accommodation) : N1,200,000

Total without POF is N 7,474,940
Approximately N8,000,000 (Without POF)

There will be small fluctuations here and there.

Please note, that I will advise you move with the family (If possible). Your wife needs you there for Psychological, Physical, Moral and Financial Support.
You can legally work full time and that's a lot of pounds to support the family.

Best regards.

Amazing. This is explicit as you have stated all what I need to know to take the right step. I am most grateful. Do schools in the UK recognize NECO exams cert? And will school in UK for the children be free?

Is it that hard to book a flight that one must pay an agent to do that for him? Is there something I am missing?

Promoter2:
No need for PGD. There are schools that will give her direct Masters admission

You will get the Nanny in the UK.

Thank you

HeavenlyBang:
RDX = Corolla
MDX = Camry

And the ZDX is a better car than the GLK.

Thanks sir. What is the best year to own for the MDX between 2013-2015?

giselle237:
read page 1 first. Then browse the thread for those that posted schools that accept 3rd class.
Nanny stuff is secondary.

Thanks, I will.

Kelvin30286063:
That's the door handle. It's attached to the side glass. Infact the entire roof up to the back is all glass. The Acura logo at the back is attached to glass. The car is an amazing work of engineering

Which would you go for between the MDX and the RDX? All 2013

Wow...Amazing

Promoter2:
It's not unfortunate that she has a third class. There are schools that give admission with 3rd class. Browse through the thread or Google to find them.

For your kids, I've read here that you'll be needing a nanny for them. You pay the nanny for their service.

You'll need to plan faster and make more research. Go through the thread thoroughly, every single information you need is here.

Thank you so much. Will I have to go with the nanny from here? Will wife be accepted for PGD first then subsequently a Masters?

Kelvin30286063:
All ZDX are 4 doors. Basically all Acuras are 4 doors except the sport car they made (Acura NSX)

Oh! But yours you posted has no back door handle that was why I asked. How is the back door opened then? Pardon my inquisitiveness

Good day all. Pls note that I am a complete novice to UK Visa. I am married with 2 kids,age 2 and 4. Unfortunately, my wife graduated with a 3rd class in Agricultural Economics and Extension. I am gainfully employed as a public servant who is unsure what the future holds as the coming elections might not turn out in my favor. So I'll love my wife and kids to relocate using the student route. My question is, what course can my wife apply for with her poor class of degree that'll guarantee her a stay after? And as young as my kids are, will they be allowed to tag along? Will we need to apply with an older nanny for them or we can state that we will hire one over there so they won't affect her studies? And like how much is the minimum amount that will be required? Thanks.

Kelvin30286063:
Trust me, it's a wonderful idea.
I attached the picture of my ZDX below. The car is giving me so much joy since 3 months that I bought it now. I've not visited my mechanic since then (except for issues with my other cars)
But after using this car for some months, I have a few advice for you.
1. Be ready for a lot of attention from friends and enemies. The car is so unique that people will notice you everywhere and they will keep saying they've not seen it before.
2. Have another small car that runs your dailies, that car won't suit well as a car that can be used to run domestic errands like quick fuel purchase or buy Suya at Junction lol
3. You should consider upgrading your car stereo to the more recent one. Acura has a branch company called Navtool, they sell the engine and will guide you on how to install it easily.
4. Have money for area boys, they won't stop chasing you and shouting baba oo
5. This is probably the most Important advice. If you're buying your zdx in Lagos, be very careful. I went to almost all the auto dealers at Lekki and Apapa and they don't have it and the few that have it are accidented. I had to spend almost $100 on checking vehicles history just to make sure I don't buy an accident car. Finally found this one. Its perfect but it was not cheap. But I didn't care, just want the best.

Pls does the ZDX also comes with 4 doors or they are all 2 doors?

Johnmark247:
No, you're cleared and have no issues provided the Overstay Clearance stamp/slip is available just for reference, but on their system, it would be off after you paid and got cleared for departure from Dubai.

Thank you so much. I still have the slip.

I'm sorry for asking this here, this is because I didn't get any response on the UAE thread. Pls, I visited Dubai in 2017 on a 2-weeks visa and due to complications with the surgery I underwent while there, I happen to overstay with another 2wks. I had to pay a fine for the overstay at the airport. Now would that affect my chances of being granted visa into the UAE again? I am thinking of going back on vacation with my family of one wife and 2 kids when the visa situation normalizes. Thanks.

Just go buy new gear box

How much?

GAZZUZZ:
older transmissions as this are not as sensitive so your worries should not be about the oil for now .

Running a transmission dry can have fatal consequences. If you have the right about of oil in the transmission, consider servicing the solenoids, they can become a bit grumpy with age.

Thank you

Sorry oo

Good evening Mr. Gazzuz. My Honda Baby Boy was hesitating to enter gear and making a thumping sound on reverse and started blinking D light and I took it to a mechanic. He checked and told me he needed to top up 1 can of transmission oil. No1 mistake: I didn't even know the oil he used. After a 2days, car was still hesitating to enter gear and making a thumping sound on reverse. Took it back to him and he called a gear "expert" who told me the oil is empty as it has drained out due to a bad seal. He fixed the seal and refilled with 2 cans of transmission oil. No2 mistake: I didn't enquire on the type of oil he used. I noticed that D-light is still blinking and all the symptoms are still there. Now, would draining the oil and refilling with recommended oil save me? What is the recommended oil and how much does it cost? Should I first of all scan the car before making any move?
