Please I want to confirm the following from those who applied as family or from those whose family members apply after the main applicant visa got approved.

Did you pay IHS for your partner and kids ?

Can I use same bank statement for wife and kids ? I was expected to provide 7m as my POF but I hv about 18m. Now that I got my visa the 18m covers for the remaining family members, can I reprint same statement to apply for them ?

I believe I can use my statement since am the main applicant or do I need to transfer money into my wife account since they will be applying separately?

I hv a son with US passport, should I apply with his US passport or Nigerian passport ?

Does my son with US passport need POF because it’s stated on UKVI website that citizens from certain listed countries do not need to provide POF as dependent?

Please I need help from past applicants with same issue as mine and your contributions will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

1. Yes, you have to pay IHS for wife and kids.
2.The new POF has to cover everyone, including yourself, even though you already have your visa.
3. The money can remain in your account if you are providing marriage cert to show proof of relationship with spouse and birth cert for child.
4. You can use either the US or Nigerian passport, I am yet to see any special advantage on using either of them
5. If your son was the main applicant(student) and applying with the US passport, then he would not have needed to show evidence of POF, but in this regard, he has to show

This is more than enough.

What you need is £680 * 9 = £6120.

Which amounts to NGN 3,484,120 using today's Oanda rate. https://www1.oanda.com/currency/converter/

Note that same amount is required if you have kids for each of them.

Congratulations. Please Vi or Ikeja ?

Good day everyone, please someone should guide me on the best and cost-effective means of payment for my IHS and Visa fee, thank you.

Verification was made! DVR - Document Verification is what UKVI does! I guess this popular myth won't stop.

You are just lucky, no verification made on the account, some did the same and were denied.

Good morning house, Please i am trying to apply for Msc in the UK, but i have a 3rd class degree. I have been trying to find a school that can accept my degree but its hard to find. Please can anyone help me out with a list of schools that can accept or consider my degree? Thank you.

I have a third class, and I got several offers. As long as you have work experience and a nice personal statement, you'll get lots of offers. You can try the following schools, they all gave me admissions, even straight unconditional offers from some.

UWE, Bristol
UWS, Paisley (I chose them)
University of Bedfordshire
University of Hertfordshire
Glasgow Caledonian University
University of South Wales
Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen
Roehampton University
Edinburgh Napier University
Birmingham City University

This depends on where you want to live in LONDON and your pocket. But based on your early post on job opportunities, London no doubt is number one.

The covid news in the country is currently unpleasant, and the health care system is also in crisis with the current doctor's strike. I really hope and pray the British Government don't drop us into the Red list. We currently don't have a functioning health system and the isolation centres are filled to capacity.

Good afternoon gurus in the house.

Thank you for all your insightful contributions. I need help with the day 2and 8 test kits, the ones I got are quite expensive...anyone with details of a cheaper test kit.

Thank you in anticipation.

Please has anyone here use barter virtual dollar card by flutterwave to pay for IHS and Visa fee.

Almost all the banks I visited required two references from current account holders before I can open domicilliary account. I wish to know if anyone has succeeded using barter virtual card for payment?

The covid situation in Nigeria is not that bad to drop us on the red list. Don't be deceived by the fake daily covid statistics going on. Some unscrupulous elements are cashing out on that.

On the POF you can ask justwise, but i feel you can proceed since you have your visa already.

Hello,

Just an update on flight ticket.

I went to the Qatar Airways office at Ahmadu Bello Way, VI (Standard Chartered Building). I can confirm that in case Qatar goes back on the red list, tickets are refundable. However, If you book with a third party agency e.g TravelStart, you would lose about 30-40k, this happened to me when I booked Ethiopian airlines to the UK, literally a day after I bought the ticket, Ethiopia was put on the red list and it was war to get my refund and about 30k was deducted, my colleague that booked directly with Ethiopian airline got 100% refund.

Also, it's cheaper to book on Qatar's website (hold the booking) than their office and pay the Naira equivalent at their office or at the bank, (there's a third option but can't remember). Apparently, the system used at their office is different from what's online, I saved about 40k when I compared it.
Also, it's not always cheaper to book on weekdays (as some people mentioned earlier), I can confirm it was cheaper for me to book online for a Saturday than during the week, however, booking solely at the office, the Saturday ticket was more expensive than a weekday (because of the weekend factor - that's what the Qatar lady said).
Additionally, additional baggage costs about 86k while 9kg top-up for two pieces of baggage to make 32kg each cost 42k in total.

Hope you found this helpful. I'm not a student or applying for a student visa but I still find this forum helpful.

Goodluck!

Annie26:

If you consider University of Sunderland, then you might as well consider some schools within same ranking in London. They are pretty much almost same fee range.

I did my undergraduate in London and graduated 2016. I am telling you, it is better to live in London if you must migrate to UK. That is the number 1 city in UK for everything except retirement.

Thank me later.

I don't agree with your position. London is very expensive for a student except the person has a strong backbone at home. Did you consider the rent and 20 hours work time per week?

Anybody gotten CAS from Sheffield Hallam University for September entry?

Is it true that UK undergraduate programs don't allow one travel with the spouse?

Hi
Pls i need info on how to go about applying. I have 2.2 in comp science 11yrs ago. Now i want to study in uk universities for MSC, but another course. Pls recommend cheaper school for me and any relevant info too �.
Thanks.

Search this thread. It was discussed alot and repeatedly in July. You didn't even mention the "other course" Advice: Make sure your Personal Statement sells you well for whichever course you choose especially if it's unrelated to your BSc.

You need to be specific to be able to get a definite answer here. You have postedote than once that you plan to enrol for another course but you didn't mention what course.
There are factors that determines the success of your admission and by extension, your visa.
Do you have a convincing statemt of purpose and work experience to cover the gap?

So it is either you conduct an extensive search or you ask specific questions.

Cheers and best of luck.

Hi, congratulations

Pls which school did u chose?

I want to apply for MSC, 11 years gap, 2.2, computer science. But i want to chose another course.

Truth is that we are not privy to the exact criteria used to move countries along the traffic light category. We must also not take for granted that this criteria is not based on the sentiment of citizenry but the data presented by its government.

CDC has stated on its website 790 new cases as at yesterday, and if that supposed 'fake' number keeps building, it is not a good thing for intending travelers.

Just yesterday, the UK government announced that quarantine fees for those coming in from RED LIST countries will go up to avoid tax payers subsidizing for travelers.

Even if the school settles the quarantine fees for the students, what dependents?

That said, I checked the numbers for January 2021 and it was almost 2,000 new cases and we were not on the RED LIST; cannot find contrary data. So, fingers crossed that Lagos swings into action as it has 70% of the reported cases.

So this is the situation today , those who came early even at 4am were not attended to . He’s just attending to spill over of yesterday. Those of us who stayed till 3pm yest , he collected our application number yest. Then this morning , he came with the list and called us in then told today’s walk in to go and come back. So best bet is to go around 2pm , kos that’s the time he takes their application number for the next day .. but if you don’t mind waiting the whole day . I did mine this morning and finished around 10am

O long nau. Lol ok.
1. YES IHS is per applicant.
2 You can use the same 18m statement if it's not yet over 31 days from print date when you use it.
3. You can use your statement. No need to transfer
4. You can use either. On his form you will provide both nationalities and passport number anyway...but choose one to submit...will be the one you used for IOM and the one you use for the application.
5. He's not an adult but a minor so make sure he is covered too. You need to provide for him.

I hope this helps. I applied with family at once and all pof was in my accounts. Best wishes
