Kudos to @justwise and other senior in the house.

Congratulations!!

Please are there job opportunities in Hull for students

schnaidar9:
i just got a conditional offer from University of Hull few minutes ago.....MSc Environmental Change, Management and Monitoring

What’s the best resource to find apartments in Bradford?

Please can you explain further, I know I am supposed to do a test when I get to the uk but I don't know
much about it. Please help me break it down.

AAO7:


There’s no right amount.
The providers are different
I got mine for £99
My brother is going on holiday and got his for £79
Most of the cheaper providers are sold out
As you would expect, supervised swabs at home will be more expensive than self swab at home which will be more expensive than supervised swab in clinic and that is in turn more expensive than self swab in clinic.

Pls, For how long will it take Bradford univsesity to change conditional offer to unconditional offer?
Your respond will be appreciated.

oscarpellenchy:


1. Yes they require POF before issuing CAS
2. And yes to this question also...

One more question please, is there a Pre-cas interview??

otunbanimi:
Once you have paid your deposit, request for your CAS on the application portal. It doesn’t take long. Max 1-2 weeks

No POF, No Interview No TB certificate before CAS is issued.

But they will tell you Embassy can call you randomly to do interview. So they advice you do a mock interview with them.( This is optional tho)

Thanks you so much. I sent you a mail

For walk in, Ikeja TLS is very very busy. To be attended to, you have to have come to put your name down the day before.
Then they attend to Walk in on the following day.

Yesterday, they only attended to two people who came newly. As in there's no amount of begging or story or waiting. The ones who came the day before are the only guaranteed ones.
And day before yesterday, I learnt they didn't attend to anybody who came newly at all.

So travellers from out of state, be guided. I am writing this specifically for una.... though I think VI is not as bad for walk in. However you pay a separate fee to use VI.

For IOM also, you are unlikely to get certicate same day except you come very very early.

Once again, fellow out of state people, take note. Several guys had to start changing plans and looking for where to sleep

All the gurus in the house,please come to my aid ooo.
I didn’t include my spouse because of the nature of his job here in Nigeria.(MISTAKE)
I was asked to say the reason why and we don’t want to front his job as an excuse.
We have also resolved to include him in the application.
@justwise
Please treat with urgency.
Thank you!

Depending on the status of your application...its either an English Call or a Sponsorship Interview, at the discretion of the school.. the earlier is deemed more easier and straightforward by student applicants though...

it has never been too late i say this here. 20% of student visa refusal most often come from the carelessness of some agents. we need to be smart and ensure we follow the process from the beginning to the end, don't put all your confidence on the agent. also make research and be proactive yourself.

why i said the above is that my agent forgot to upload an important document (my school certificate) during uploading of document in the visa application process, and he submitted it. I thank God i checked the checklist myself after i was given before biometric. i had to go inside and then paid 11,700 just to upload that single document.

it was because i knew the stress mentally i had passed through, so i was too extremely careful about everything the agent did and said concerning the whole process.

please guys be careful and smart.

I don't understand that

There was a lot of typo, all I meant was someone was refused visa in October but while filling UK visa form September was filled in instead of October . I just want to know if that will be a problem . Note the year was filled in correctly

Is there anyone that has received offer from GCU recently?

I applied since April 15th and haven't heard anything from them.

24hrs? Wow! Congratulations!

Kingp91:
Please can you explain further, I know I am supposed to do a test when I get to the uk but I don't know
much about it. Please help me break it down.

The UK has grouped countries into zones and different zones have different requirements. The zones are Green, Red and Amber and they have various requirements
Nigeria is on the Amber list and for countries on the Amber list are required to do a day 2 & day 8 covid test on arrival into the UK.

These test are offered by so so many providers and can be sold individually and more often as a package.

To get a list of the different providers please check https://www.find-travel-test-provider.service.gov.uk/test-type/amber

Congratulations

Guys it was not super priority i did. I made mistake.

The visa application and biometric was done 21/6/21

And collection was 29/6/21

It was priority visa

That is good. Anyways start brain storming on personal statement for the new course you have chosen. I have seen a situation where the course leader for the new course a student was switched to requested the student to write a personal statement for that new course. And if they end up not requesting that, then it is good. But better be prepared that caught unawares.

rollykotex:

There's no January oo. I cant afford to wait another year. I have decided to choose another course, i hope i don't get to write another personal statement. Thanks for your kind thoughts

Ok. Thanks for clarifying.
I felt it was super priority and you mistakenly wrote priority.

maangel01:
Is there anyone that has received offer from GCU recently?

I applied since April 15th and haven't heard anything from them.

Send a mail to them. Mine was April 14th, and I got an offer after 2months

Which visa application centre did you use?

Victory1989:
Hello House my Cousin just got admission with Middlesex University London, and they requested for tuition deposit to be paid through Credit Card instead of the usual bank account detail showing the school detail.

Please has anyone gotten offer from Middlesex University London and paid their Tuition deposit through Debit card?

Please we need advise from weather to proceed with the payment so he can meet up with September 2021

You could pay with a dollar card or have someone pay for you in Uk. I used the latter option. Had someone pay for me in UK

Dear All, I am about to commence my visa application. Is it advisable to declare my previous visa refusal from another country at the point of UK visa application or I shouldn’t disclose it

Disclose all visa refusals. Incase you don't have the letters, simply put "Lack of proper documentation. Please note, I do not have the refusal letter anymore".

Thanks a lot for this as I am facing a similar situation.. I don't have the refusal letter anymore. I hope that will be enough for them

The Visa finally came. It won't fair if I don't share my experience here.

Bio-metrics- 22nd June
Collection message - 30th June
Priority Service

I am a January intake that was denied visa in February because my sponsor did not reply to the confirmation email sent to them( God factor). The God factor set in because I thought I can not be denied because I am a state sponsored student but God showed me his existence. Someone from the chief of staff office saw the email from the embassy but decided to look away because she thought the letter is not genuine.

The school decided to issue me a new CAS after a new letter of introduction was issued by the said state government. In all I give God the glory.

Coventry here I come............

Good Morning,

Hope you are all doing well,

I am worried about my application and I decided to check in with you guys. @justwise, please help out.
I made an application on the 29th of June(priority) but I got an email yesterday saying that my application isn’t straightforward.

I made application with my Two dependents, I have been to the Uk once and also been to Schengen area couple of times.

In my last visa application to the Uk, I didn’t include one of my dependents because as at that time, she wasn’t financially dependent on me as she was staying with her older sister, so I didn’t add her as my dependents and also didn’t travel with her as at that time. I don’t know if this is the reason to why my application is on hold.

Also I have been denied an American visa.
Please can you guys give me any advice on how to follow through.

Another question, when one receives this kind of mail, do they call the person? And how long do I normally need to wait before I get a response considering I paid for priority.
