Guys I have been in the uk for just 2weeks and I can tell you that you really need to be prepared financially and emotionally. This student japa route is not for the weak. It’s not cheap and it’s not an easy journey.

This might be to the guys/gals still seeking admission or has offers already. Please before you accept that offer that has a deposit of 1k or 2k read the terms and conditions very well, understand what happens after the 2k deposit. Wether you would require further deposit before enrolment . Understand the payment plan options and all.

I was in my wife’s school on Wednesday to finalise her deposit payment as we had tried using the FormA and it was delaying, deadline was on the 8th of February, wrote several mails to the school and at some point one of the finance team replied by just giving a day extension till 9th of February. I had to transfer money to lemonade app to convert to Pounds then transfer to my uk account and pay with my card.? Now for enrolment after payment. I asked her to go to the school physically for the enrolment instead of waiting for the mail. She got to the school and she was asked to go and defer as she paid after the deadline, we produced the mail of the extension till 9th feb and they started arguing with themselves that who authorised the mail and all. The lady that sent the mail just sent us the mail thinking we would not be able to still make the payment but at last it was the mail that made them enrol her after so much up and down from like 10am till like 4.30 when they were closing. A Cameroonian was there too with same issue and he was asked to go and defer.

I spoke extensively with one of the admissions staff and she told me first hand that lots of international students especially Nigerians are already having issues with school fees payment and course work reason why they and other schools are taking hard measures to prevent further reoccurrence. That the school will soon increase it’s required deposit and reduce its timeline to enable them get real and capable students . She said lots of students are already been report to UKVI and might get their visas revoked if not careful.

With this guys please let’s us not see this educational route as sure japa means of we have not planned financially and otherwise. It’s not cheap to survive here. Another thing is that be sure that 20hrs work can never pay for your tuition balance.

Some people are already even before one year turning to illegal immigrants. Please I beg let us be guided and have a proper plan from Nigeria. This land is a land of “Mind your business “ and “On your Own” . All man for himself. Na only your family fit help you here and it has limits.

Just say make I drop am o

Nice one bro.

salaamfaizal:
No need to bother about not paying IHS. I didn't pay too because my spouse who is the main applicant is studying on scholarship so it was waved for me.

That was what happened to you too.

If the main applicant isn't study on scholarship, then the IHS was waived for a reason mostly like the main applicant is benefiting from something you don't know about.

Thanks for the clerity.

Thank you for your quick responses. I have completed the application without asking to pay and my biometric is on Monday. @justwise
Please should mail UKVI

Keep the money aside and go for biometric, at any point you are contacted to pay you do that, you can hardly get anything free from those guys

Good evening house,
Please I want to book Ethiopian Airline.

They have 14hours layover in Doha ( will they Lodge us in hotel free?)
The departure time is 13:40 hours.

Ynniks1:
Good day everyone , a friend who is a dependent got his visa which stated : Restricted Work No Sportsperson No public funds….

Anyone ever heard of such ? This might be the new system

It is normal. Simply means the dependant cannot work as a sportsperson in the uk

Please should mail UKVI

you must have missed something out of the form, you should look at those YES and NO question, at the beginning.
Download your application and go through it, you will find where the error is.
if you find it, you may want to cancel the application and start a new one, or you can expect NSF mail and a link to pay it, or risk a refusal.
my 20 kobo advice is to find the error, cancel and submit a new application, your money will be refunded within 28 working days. when you cancel before biometric.

Good day, rumours about Uk authorities asking you to show Proof of Funds at the airport on your arrival, how true is it for both dependant and main applicant?

Good day house,pls rumours about Uk authorities asking you to show Proof of Funds at the airport on your arrival, how true is it for both dependant and main applicant?

Why does that seem rumor(s) to you? Have the immigration staff no right to ask for such? Did you not submit one for your visa application. Prepare for the worst hope for the best. Enjoy your studies.

It is individual based.

They ask some while some people like me just walk trough with a welcome to the uk and passport was stamped

geobreezyt:
The applicable Intl fee for you is the 16,000. There is a general discount for intl students and the Alumni of the school which is 2k, that is what made the other intl. fee 14k. African students wont qualify for the 2k intl students discount because of the 5k African scholarship already given.

Your fee will be 16,000 - 5000= 11,000

My application took about 2/3 weeks.

Thank you �

Joyousgem:
You will be paying £16,000 less £5,000 African scholarship.

£14,000 is only applicable to international students who have previously studied at the University. It is a loyalty discount.

Thank you �

Is it possible to get an admission in UK without English test like IELTS? If yes, please mention them. thanks

Not all. You statement of purpose matters. If it's captivating, the school will write you and ask for any documents they need.

Raheemot:
Hi guys, I mistakenly submitted my application without uploading my degree certificate, but I uploaded my transcript. Please is this a problem. I've been on the school Website to see if I can upload it but I can't.
Please is this something I should be worried about?

Please respond. Thanks

Please filling Visa for dependant,
Under the Visa type it reads: PBS, Startup, Innovator or Global Talent- Partner Visa.
Is this in order?

Also with regards to Employment section, does NYSC qualify as non military compulsory national service?
