Please after creating your profile, on the next page where you have to fill in passport number and address, did you fill your Nigerian address or the address of where you are going in the UK?

Has anyone processed form A with this new cbn e form A?

I think electronics should not be bought second hand.

BHF, Red Cross and the bigger charity shops will also give a warranty on electrical goods - usually 6 months. There's no reason to buy new when one is trying to save money! Just buy from reputable places so if it breaks soon after purchase, you have some come back.
We've just cleared out my aunt in law's house to a charity shop - her TVs (all smart TVs) were mostly never used and one still has the clear tape round it! She had a new kitchen fitted at the end of 2019 with brand new appliances and all have gone to a charity shop.

I agree. Reputable stores are the best bet but I still personally prefer new electronics.

For those who want the main gist -


UK issues record number of study visas in 2021

In 2021 (for the year ending in September), the UK issued 428,428 sponsored study visas to international students and their dependents – the highest total ever, surpassing the record previously set in 2010. Visas issued to EU nationals composed only 9% of the total

There was significant growth from key non-EU markets including China, India, Pakistan, and especially Nigeria

Imagine the fees ..........

About 200 million pounds in visa fees alone.
That one no include other fees such as priority applications and so forth which are being paid in many cases.
The IHS is about at least 300 m as well, but since that's for health insurance, it can't really be reckoned as profit.
All in all, HO Enterprises go declare good money for the year ending 31 December 2021.

That's why they are constantly introducing new visa routes.

@TheGuyFromHR I made a post asking you about the graduate visa and seems it was deleted. Is there a rule against that here? I'm sorry it has been a while I have been here

I can't say - anytime I sign in here, I do try to respond to those who mention me, where the query relates to something I've got knowledge about.

Omo I'm just trying to calculate. The least expensive school is like 9k pounds...visa fees, accommodation, cost of everyday living, transportation etc ££££££££££££££

Winning formula.
You stop the flow of EU workers, who have entitlement to benefits and all that, and replace them with non-EU workers who pay good money to come here and have no entitlement to benefits, and are just as willing as the EU workers (read east Europeans) to take up the eldercare and similar jobs to cover the costs of the fees they have to pay - the system is working as designed.

I asked if you (or your spouse) have applied for the graduate visa yet and if I need to pay a further (£125) for my dependant's biometrics at the visa application centre after the £19 payment to UKVI?

Sorry to jump in but is settlement funds needed for the graduate visa route?

Two things can be true. Nigeria is indeed facing hyper inflation.

No you don't need to show funds if you've been in the UK for 1 year

Please someone should help me with this. Initially, the first 3 lines were green even till 2 days ago but this is what I found this morning, do I have any reason to worry? Biometrics was actually done.
