What question do you have

Arhmiee:
Good morning everyone,

Please, is there anyone who is applying for Msc Nursing (Adult) for September batch? Someone with a Bsc Nursing degree? Pls I have a few questions.

I don’t know if it’s a certain percentage of your salary or if it’s how long you have been employed with the company.

Deanoflagos:
how much do you advise as leave allowance?

you mean your salary finishes in 4days? Then it means you don’t have disposable income

Ijeshalomo:
Hello gurus in the house.

I am aware final balance carries weight in UK tourist visa application. If one needs to embark on a journey to the UK with no good final balance? what is the success rate. Also using a salary account that is good but such money finishes in 4days?

thanks

200k leave allowance kinda raise an eyebrow

Deanoflagos:
thanks boss, so the leave allowance can't be added to my expenses?

Expenses should not be more than 2 times ur disposable income.

Deanoflagos:
I was denied visit visa in 2019 because the vo did not believe funds in my accounts are truly mine because I mixed my personal and business accounts.

So I recently started paying myself 200k salary. I want to run this account for six months, I expect to have a closing balance of 900k after six months(opening balance is about 10k), which means my DI will average 150k.

I intend to spend 500k on the trip

My question is this, at visa application, can I pay myself leave allowance of about 200k.

200k + 300k ( 2months DI) = 500K

I own a sole proprietorship Company.

@justwise and other gurus, pls answer.

Congrats, my wish for you was genuine.

I hope my suspicion of you disappearing like your predecessors won’t happen. Do check by once in a while if u have time. ✌️

H0tbabe:
Thanks to u all that helped, standard 30th, visa collected today

As funny as this is, if u have to do it why not

Hello guys, please how can I book free hotel reservation in London?

These points are valid but if u graduate with a placement experience on ur CV job is almost guaranteed afterwards.

Depends on the course, if it’s nursing, biomedical sciences and most science courses I know most unis have affiliation with NHS hospitals for students to complete their placement. The selection is done from uni, if u pass the assessment in uni, placement is guaranteed. You can even get choice of hospitals to pick from based on proximity to ur home address.

NB: The uni assessment could either be a simple show of interest or informal interview if the number of interests received is high

DMainMan:
The one year offer is good. You will pay lesser IHS fee. You will graduate earlier will less tension in you and you will be more focused in your studies. You will still also get PSW visa so you can look for Tier 2 job.

Placement is not automatic. You still have to look for it like job.

If your fiancé have a permanent job, earns more than £24k a year and preferably live on his own in a 2 bed flat/house. Let him come to 9ja and marry you officially then put in an fresh application. However, due to ur last refusal ur case might take longer so just prepare ur mind.

Misrepresentation is a big thing when it comes to UKBA. It means you can’t be trusted so any documents or application you send in after will take longer than normal and success rate might not be promising.

However, the good thing is there’s still ways out.

opomulero:
i have a suggestion,


i think we should download the application for and teach ourselves how to fill it and the type of documents to support each lines we fill.

i can see that alot of people not on this forum do shot themselves on there legs with what they fill and there doxuments presented.

an agent told one of my guy that he should be running his acount which is good and he adviced him to be lodging big and withdrawing big so as to convince the eco that he is a business man with no evidence of using dt big withdrawal for good bought (receipt or lpo)....i told him you might fumble by doing this, he never heeded to my advice and the agent even follow him up to the entrance in november, he got his passport back this morning, what was inside was nothing to write home about cos i am seeing something like MISREPRESENTATION BLA BLA BLA BLA....im afraid id they havent ban him.

so im of the opinion if we can bring up the application form and teach ourselves how to fill it correctly and the docs too.

1. Your answer is in bold

2. Send your transcript to intended unis or read the eligibility on each course.

Cigbojugha:
Good day all and happy new year.

Please I have some questions that I need to be clear about.

1. I graduated 2009 mechanical engineering and I wish to apply for masters for March batch. Will I be asked why the long gap and if yes, what us the best response for this.

2. I intend to study Information technology as masters. Will it be allowed since I didn't study any related course In IT. My second choice of course is international project management with placement.
My question now is between these two courses which will be best for me i UK considering my first degree in Engineering and some years of banking operations experience.

Pls help me make informed decisions.

renew ur passport first
submit both old and new as TB certificate’s got the old passport number

kayvine4u:
Hello house,

My passport will expire March 2020, can i still apply fir my 15 months course wit it or i need to renew before application?

My TB test has this passport no, and i was told i have to use same passport for application.

People have mentioned times without number on here that you shld separate your business account from personal account when applying for UK visa.

She needs to pay herself monthly salary into the personal account so she can work out her DI which will guide her to determine her budget for the trip.

If she separated it then the tax shldnt affect her personal bank account

CuteLexy:
Good Afternoon to the travel gurus in the house.
I am actually writing this on behalf of a friend who wants to process a UK visit visa. She runs a registered business that has a turnover of about 15m per annum but has not been paying taxes until recently because of this UK application so that she can get a tax clearance form, but due to the high tax rate, she had to devalue her actual income so she can pay less. Is it possible to be denied based on this? Does the UK embassy confirm how much tax was paid on the company account(sole proprietorship)? Is there a way to go around this because the initial tax amount issued by the FIRS was just too high.

A response will be highly appreciated. Thank you

Google visa free countries for Nigerian passport holders and use the 600k to book flight and accommodation

Cjman685:
Pleas guys which country can 600k get their visa, apart from Dubai

The letter should say something like you are a full time student and you attend classes regularly. That you are a final year student and will be expected back in school on so so date to complete your final year project and other requirements of the course so as to be awarded the degree BSc so so so

Ibukun120:
Thanks. My introduction letter clearly states my level, the course i'm doing but it doesn't state when i would be back.

What do you mean by "Attendance Level". If i decide to reapply (School is going on long holiday on January 27th to resume in probably May - Next session calendar not yet out). How do i go about that. NOTE: I am in 300Level, so after the long holiday, i am going to my final year.

However, the remainder of information does not demonstrate your regular attendance on the stated course

This statement means that your introduction letter from uni should confirm what course you are doing, what level you are in, ur attendance level, when your expected back in uni and preferably when your next exams is due. This way the ECO establish your tie to the country as a student.

Ibukun120:
Hello Good Morning,

I'm a student and i was denied a visitor's visa to the UK. I applied on Dec 6 for a 20 days holiday to visit my Uncle, Aunt and their kids. I budgeted 350k for the trip ( 200k - Dad, 150k - Uncle in the UK). Kindly help me check my refusal letter and advise. The refusal seems to be due to my lack of proper explanation of the documents submitted and not because of insufficient funds. It seems i can't appeal.

NOTE
=====

My dad works as a senior lecturer at a state university and also practices privately as a Lawyer (didn't state this). We submitted a bank statement with an opening balance of over 600k and closing bal of 415k. We submitted his promotion letter which states the earns 1.6 million/year (this is exclusive of other allowances that will raise the money to about 250k per month and over 2.4 million/year).

I also submitted my bank statement where my Dad sends money to me for upkeep in school. I also submitted letter of introduction from school, my admission letter, school fees receipt, school ID card, departmental dues (document for 300 Level).

Best to apply on ur own first, create a scenario that tells the ECO that u will definitely return to Nigeria to ur family

Chijiuba:
So please what options can I exploit?

Please read the thread to familiarise yourself with disposable income.

Tuition is for 1 academic year so if ur course is 2 years then it’s safe to say u are paying for 2 academic years

Never heard of situations where UKBA ask post graduate applicants to provide evidence of funds

quille11:
@crytonyte @lateef9699 @omopapa

Appreciate your honest answers.

In addition, i like to find out if the tuition fee you pay in the 1st year for a masters prog of 2years covers the 2 year study period. Or would you be paying another fee in the 2nd year?

Also, what if one get the whole tuition fee & mtce fee to be deposited in your own account for the 28 day period. Hope UKBA will not require you to prove source of fund.

Thanks

Project management and Business Analyst jobs are quite easy to get with the right professional qualifications and experience. They pay as good as average of £250 daily and I have heard that some people (especially Indians) can help package ur CV and give u references to get jobs.

DammyDurst:
Good day boss, I intend applying for Masters in Information Systems/ Analytics in Business in the UK/Ireland against September. As a matter of fact, I already have an offer from Aston. I would really like to know what the job prospects for the aforementioned course looks like in the UK. Your response should go a long way in my decision making coupled with my own research.

Thank you...

Most landlords will accept council tax letter from uni with ur data page of international passport and a month rent deposit. Try gumtree, SpareRoom or even fb market place for vacancies in ur area.

You can also get references from your student union rep or personal tutor in uni

Meraldola:
Please those who travel with dependants to the UK. How do you sort out accommodation issues. I've been having issues for two months now trying to let. How do I pass credibility , referencing and affordability checks . I don't have a credit history bc I'm new in the Uk and my partner is yet to get a job for the Affordability checks. Pls advise is needed on how to quickly secure a job and sort out housing issues too
Cc: justwise

Hello H0tbabe,

I’m sorry that you feel intimidated by my vast knowledge gathered from personal experience.

I only reply to questions that I knw for sure what I’m talking about and I support them with examples. Not in any way have I deviated from the questions asked.

I hope you find what you came here for so you can go MIA like your predecessors.

Warm regards.
Omopapa

H0tbabe:
Can you please stop derailing this thread and help us focus on the topic, u mustn't answer everything, I too know no good, thanks.

University of Wolverhampton for example allows a flexible payment plan, infact u can negotiate with them how you want to spread the balance across and as long as u keep up with the payments and don’t miss any deadline your good to go.

If you get free accommodation more than half of ur prob is solved. However working 20 hours a week won’t be enough to make as much money to pay tuition balance.

quille11:
Hello guys,
Great work y'all doing here
Please i need honest answers to these questions?
- Is it possible to obtain a favourable tuition payment plan from UK schools such that after the initial 50% deposit you can balance up before the expiration of that particular study year(Masters deg)

- Can the 20 hours per week assist one in meeting up with tuition balance and other expenses even though you have family in uk who is ready to accomodate you throughout period of study?

Your honest answers will be highly appreciated

2 major things is likely the cause of it

1. Your geographical location

2. Your personal Statement.

When applying for jobs especially in the UK make sure u read the job description and person specification. Then write a personal statement tailored to address the key points in the PS and JD.

During interview selection the software or sometimes the person shortlisting only picks applications that matches with the JD and PS.

ChiefDaddy1:
Wow Thanks. I want to know how to go about getting a job in the Uk as a geotechnical engineer as I found it as an occupation in demand. No response to all jobs I have applied please help

The mother can indicate that she will be footing some of the expenses like flight for herself and her husband

Their son in UK with his wife can sponsor the trip by providing accommodation, feeding and transportation.

The wife shld write a cover letter in support of their application and the husband too shld write his own.

ijeshaoflondon:
Hello everyone ... compliments of the season ... I need ur advise pls.. My friend wants to invite his parent during Easter period and He is married to a white lady and are both British Citizen.

His parent applied last year but were both refused becos an Agent of destruction did not fill the application forms correctly.

His father is Old, above 76yrs and Mother 69yrs, They both went to Hajj last year and mother visited the United states like 2 years ago to visit her first Son.

Father aint working anymore, He has just 300k in his savings account (allowee from his children) but Mother is a major distributor to dangote Cement COY. so she has over 2m in her savings account with which i advised her to pay herself a sum of 200k every month. They both have assets in their names.

First Question is

1. Can my friend's mother SPONSOR the trip with her statement of account? OR

2 . Should my friend and his wife claim to fully Sponsor them? My friend has about 5k pounds and the wife has about 12k pounds in the accounts respectively.

Justwise, giselle and other gurus ...kindly advise pls .

What seems to be your strongest tie to a Nigeria is ur wife and son. Applying with them, the ECO could see is an opportunity for u to japa

Chijiuba:
Yes I intend to (does it reduce my chances?) Please advice me on the best option you think

Do you intend to travel with your wife and son?

Chijiuba:
Good morning Guru's in the house, I am actually new to this thread, but I have tried to read through to understand before asking my questions
below is my profile

I want to apply for a visiting Visa (2 weeks) Please I need you advice on this

1. Married with a son (<2 Years Old)
2. My mom is a British citizen and she would send me an Invitation letter stating i will stay with her. (NB i will fund the trip)
3. My monthly earnings is 500k
4. My first question (what do you advise should be the monthly expense)
5. what do you advice i put as my budget for the trip that will fly for myself, wife and kid?
6. I dont have a property (kindly advice that would serve as strong ties)

Please advice me on how to package it in order to stand a chance

Note i have been denied UK visa once around 2012 or so, for not having strong ties in nigeria

Please what’s a motivational letter is it the same as personal statement?

georgesegun87:
Pls I need a sample of motivation letter for master environmental and environmental health...

Thanks

Pls send it to georgesegun87@gmail.com

Real recognises real a marlian recognises a fellow marlian

Phenobarb14:
Thank you. Funny how you detected it was for PLAB

Up to you but I guess it will be good just to proof that u are well prepared for any unforeseen circumstances

iwanvisityankee:
Thanks a lot.

Do I need to include miscellaneous, or it's not required

Yes, very well. The rise in the logistics business in the last few years has increased a lot.

However, because most of these companies are either startups or aren’t big enough to meet up with home office demand for tier 2 visas, you will have to be EXTREMELY good and have a super rich CV to have them want to go all in with u to the Home office.

On the plus side, if u intend starting on your own, that’s a good business niche to follow even better if u have certificates to back it up.

Starting on ur own for just business only ur looking at £10-15k but for the purpose of entrepreneur visa, ur looking at £50-60k (only proof of this fund is required for 3 months I guess)

sirgigs:
Would you any idea if Logistics and Supply Chain Management has job prospects in the UK?
