I am looking at schools that will not harass for payments sha
from what I hear from associates, Bradford are not quick to harass ppl for outstanding payments....
while looking for "cheap schools"; also consider student support and benevolence.

Imagine Teeside Uni saying they will pay flight ticket back home for students owing ?
is it not better to keep them for them to "find" the money and pay than to spend money to get them deported then lose out on all the income.....
these guys eh

RodgersAkpafu:
Then give it a go....
Tomorrow sef
Try University of Bradford

Drebal:
Did a paid mail and call today and this was the response I got. No email yet from UkVi and tracking is still stuck at DMC on TLS. Has anyone experienced this and how does the projected time and situation looks like ?

Thank you.

lastkingsman:
What's the Luxembourg process?

moshuur:
I think something is wrong with an average Nigerian.

Like I don't get it....

See as we explained to our people over and over again....they still don't get it.

Like .....is it too hard for them to comprehend the point we trying to make?


You tried to explain the reality to my people.....they'll start seeing u as a bad person.

fullclub:
I won't blame anyone. I felt this way before especially if anyone in abroad is advising against my wish of coming.

I always look for positive comments to remain strong.

But now I understand that what we actually wanted was just that plane flight experience or just to take pix n upload on Facebook as one who has been here and there but we aren't truly prepared for the real deal

Prigozhin:

I am in the US and I have visited the UK severally , but that’s not the point , stop this your unsolicited naysayers attitude . It projects you so wrongly . Stop pushing your negative opinions and spreading negativity here especially when nobody is asking for it

drlucky17:
Don’t mind them , it is so annnoying , they take so much effort to discourage others and tell them some reality whereas they pin there , nothing is easy but every chance to leave the damned country led by the evil bigoted propagandists APC , take it with both hands . People are getting old with no headway in this country . The longer you stay the more difficult and expensive it will be to leave .
Ignore the naysayers and don't let them bring you down! It's frustrating when others try to discourage us with their negative views. But remember, every challenge is an opportunity to grow stronger. If you have the chance to pursue your dreams and goals in another country, seize it with both hands! Don't let fear or negativity hold you back. The longer you wait, the harder it may become. Don't let others define your reality. Keep pushing forward and stay positive!"

drlucky17:
but you are there , please you guys should just shut up and keep your damned opinion to yourselves. People know what they want , stop all this pretense in form of advice . Many Nigerians took the bold step of leaving the country and they are thriving out there , uk is hard but you pin there …nonsense

moshuur:
If all what has been said is too big for u to comprehend, the summary is it is not advisable to come tru student visa with the intention of paying ur balance of let's say 7k pounds and accommodation with 20 hours weekly work.

Without dependant


It's suicide (like literally).

If u av the fund, start coming.


I personally don't like advising Nigerians (we all know how we behave typically).

4 people even liked ur comment...lol

Typical Nigerians....

heykims:
I wonder how students think of surviving in the UK without dependants, as in how?
Years back, what fueled japa was form A Pound rate that was used to pay tuition fee. Truth is many that traveled to UK then would never try it if there wasn't form A and exchange rate was high as the present.
Personally, I'm a dependant that came in last year with my student wife. I spent little above 5 million naira to pay 9000 pounds deposit of the tuition with form A. I would be looking for over 15 million naira in present day Nigeria to pay the same sum, that's huge and I don't think it would make a wise investment for me. To make it worse, NO DEPENDANT.
Today, people just wanna leave the country and thus many are jumping from frying pan to fire. What could be more depressing and humiliating than being served eviction mail by the UKVI, abi living illegally in the UK after your resident permit is revoked?

Focus99:
So I came into UK ealry last week

I have registered for GP, Right to work, NI, electoral roll, Monzo and Lloyds bank

I got registered to a doctor at my GP and still waiting for NHS code so I can go back to my GP for further processing. I got my NI number already, got my monzo and Lloyds bank atm cards.

I got a job two days after I got to UK but still waiting for my DBS to come out cos the company requested for naija police certificate and I needed to make a contact to get in over from naija.

Anything else I need to know, apply for or do?

Oldies in the house abeg you guys should put me through oh

Juwon21:
I will be coming from Oshodi. I know super but I don't know the particular place to enter or shop

Debbiebest:
You can buy in "super"(katagwa)before ile'epo.You need to say where you are coming from exactly so one can know how to make a description of the place to you/how you can get there.

VISA ALERT!!!

Indeed a miracle happened. Glory be to God alone.

Application date - 15th July
Booked flight - 17th July

Empty NSF - 14th August
Interview invitation - 25th August
Interview - 27th August. I was sent IHS link to top up shortly after the interview.
IHS payment - 29th August

NO WORD FROM UKVI

1st paid call - 4th September (awaiting decision)
2nd paid call - 7th September (still awaiting decision but it was escalated and I was advised to wait for 15 working days before calling them again)
Escalation - 7th September
Paid Mail( since I was advised not to call...lol) - 12th September (still awaiting decision as at 6pm)

THEN I DECIDED TO TAKE IT UP IN PRAYER. At this point I needed a miracle as my flight had already been booked for the 17th September.

I responded to the paid mail around 12AM clearly stating my case again.

UKVI contact centre responded - 13th September (decision has been made as at 11am, but still at DMC)

More prayer. That the passport be returned to Nigeria before Friday.

ALL GLORY TO GOD! It's still like a dream to me, I indeed experienced a miracle.

I was strengthened with 2kings7:1-20. Where the people of Israel experienced an unusual overnight victory.

I pray for those still waiting that you experience an unusual speed in Jesus Name, Amen!


Thank you to everyone for the help. God bless you!

Thewritingnerd:
Hi guys, please where are you guys booking affordable and non-transit visa flights (from Lagos to Heathrow/Gatwick) abeg?

SunnshineJoy007:
They didn't say. Still awaiting decision.

I had an interview on 27th August. Few hours later, I was sent a link to pay for IHS as it showed $0.00 after filling the application form.

Payment was made early hours of 29th August and since then no update.

Just waiting and praying now as school resumes in less than two weeks.

Fireson:
HOW DO I DO THAT?

Thewritingnerd:
Hello guys , please to confirm: is the decision letter the same as what people call their “BRP mail”? The one where you see “Your application for a United Kingdom (UK) visa (vignette) has been successful.”?

Got this around 7am yesterday Sunday.

MosakuAW:
Hello All,

My cousin received a mail from TLS that passport is ready for collection on the 5th of September. She has checked in and out of her mail box, spam and other for any refusal letter but none. Does that mean, visa was issued. Thanks. Attached is the mail.

tushantuna:
I applied on August 21, and the POF is available in my bank account till now. What is the date bracket to print on bank statement to answer the request of ukvi? Thank you

Scot2324:
May Allah make it easy for everyone patiently waiting for decision.

Good news soon.

PhilJames:
Hello guys,
Good evening. Please I need your urgent reply.
A friend and his wife just got their visas but he shot himself in the leg by booking a flight with KLM ignorantly until I pointed it out to him that he would require a transit visa to be able to transfer when they get to Amsterdam.

Please what should he do and how does he go about securing the visa?.

He's currently down.....
