Visa Alert ✈️✈️✈️

All praise and thanks to God Almighty for all Glory belongs to Him.

Application to Ulster: 1st of September

Conditional offer: 3rd of September

Unconditional offer: 7th of October

Precas interview: 3rd of November

Cas shield: 8th of November
(my old passport was to expire in August 2022 and immediately I put my passport details on my CAs shield, I received a notification from the CAs team to upload details of a renewed passport as I won’t be given CAs with a passport that will expire before the end of my studies…I had to quickly reach out to people and got a new passport within 2 weeks)

Also, I have only 1 past visa refusal which I declared to the school at the initial stage of my application and I was made to understand that Ulster’s compliance interview is only done for people with 2 or more past refusals so it was really surprising when my CAS shield was at 55% and got a mail from school on the 6th of December stating that the CAS team had scheduled a compliance interview with me cos of my past visa refusal in 2018.

Compliance interview: 10th of December

CAS:16th of December

Visa application: 20th of December

Biometric: 29th of December (walk in…slept at Ikeja tls for 4days…story for another day)

Application moved to DMC: 29th of December

Application received at DMC: 29th of December

NSF mail: 17th of January..I have 11years study gap but eco only requested for my most recent work or education reference

Submission of additional document: 19th of January and sent another document on the 22nd of January

Application moved to Vac: 28th of January

Collection mail: 28th of January (very late at night)

Passport pick up: 31st of January

Documents submitted: Pof, Tb cert, Neco, Bsc cert and Cas

I wish everyone still waiting for their visas the grace of speed and huge testimony.

God bless us all.

sleemoon:



Oui

You mean what bro?

bomsilaga:
Is there a prospective UWS student here or it's just me?

I dey ooo, thou I applied for May but awaiting conditional offer and I will deffer to September

@justwise and gurus

If I apply now for a UK school for September 2023, how will the process be like considering its still far.

Will my application be in queue till certain period before they respond and start to issue unconditional offer?

I don't know how it works and I need a preview of how long it takes to get admission, get unconditional offer, CAS etc

This reply will help me understand UK admission process.

I also accepted to study at Northumbria, make sure you get an unconditional offer before paying the deposit. You should get a £2k discount

Bro.. after uploading your documents for Northumbria... Have they gotten back to you.. and will also like to have your contact so we can relate

Pls who has gotten an offer from university of Greenwich. Let link up

Hello,

It depends on the school and course, and if that intake will be open for application.
Best to wait and learn from the forum till sometime next year.

For timeline if you look at previous post from those that have gotten their visa you will have an idea and that will help you plan.

Cheers

Hello

That is Yes in French

Topmc:

You mean what bro?

Hello,

Yes or sometimes both via portal and email pending on the school and choice of communication.

Best bet is to keep an eye on both platforms

Regards

House,
Is it possible that school will give someone conditional or unconditional, without sending email but uploaded on the portal?

Thank you for your kind words.

Reason why I asked is because I mailed a school asking if I could apply for Sept 2023 and they responded in affirmative.

So I wonder how the process will go

Hello,
In most cases it won't be looked at until when it's close to your intake.

They won't skip May and September 2022, January and May 2023 to yours.
It will be in the queue till when it's close.

If you do decide to proceed you always have your application number to track your progress when it's time next year

Modified: anyone who is interested in cheap school with low tuition fee and minimum deposit can look into Sheffield Hallam university since Hull has closed most of its courses for international students for September 2022.

Sheffield Hallam University offer;
Fee for MSc Mechanical Engineering £14,895
Discount: £2000
Deposit £1000
The fee is equivalent to £12,895 but 50% on or before enrollment. But I don’t know if Sheffield Hallam university requires pof and precas interview before issuing CAS. Anyone who has info on this could pls share or contribute. Thanks


You can check these schools out
Hull 2k deposit 11k no pof no discount , no precas interview but they have closed applications for most of their courses for international students.

Ulster; school fee is around 14-15k depending on your course. Deposit is now 3000 unlike before which was 2000k, discount is 2000k, they requires pof, and there is precas interview, 50% before or on enrollment


Northumbria 2k deposit , no pof , 2k discount and school fee start from 15k depending on your course No precas interview, no questionnaire… very fast when it comes to CAS less than a week when they confirm your payment, 50% before or on enrollment

Middlesex 1k deposit , require pof, no discount, school fee is around 15k still depends on your course, you might get lesser fee Bcus my course is basically MSc Mechanical Engineering or Data Science/ Analytics
( precas interview yes) , 50% before or on enrollment

Sheffield Hallam 1k deposit but 50% before or on enrollment

Essex 2k deposit, no pof… have no idea what the school is

Swansea 2k deposit, no pof , school varies from 19k - 21k depending on what your course is, No precas, questionnaire will come along with your offer, 50% before or on enrollment

Stirling 2k deposit, 22,000 fee , discount 4/5000

Huddersfield deposit is now 5k unlike last year September/ January where deposit was 2k/3k but no pof, 16k fee, I wasn’t given discount , no precase interview… only questionnaire for CAS , 50% before or on enrollment

Glasgow 2k deposit but the school fee is very high

University of Brighton 2k deposit

Plymouth 2000k deposit, 15k fee, no discount, requires pof and precas interview, 33% before or on enrollment

London metropolitan university , school fee is around 14-15k, discount 2k, deposit is 3k, requires pof, have no idea if there is precas interview. They are very fast in terms of admission they respond / gives offer between 2-3days, 50% before or on enrollment

University of Hertfordshire, as at last year September/ this year January intake, deposit was 1k for Nigerians though on their website and on your offer letter ( the standard deposit is 5000k ) but they allows Nigeria to pay as minimum of 1k Bcus of difficulty in forex, school fee is around 13-15k depending on your course.
Requires pof, and there is precas interview, no discount.
This year January intake and last year September was 25% before or on enrollment but now it’s 60% before or on enrollment

These are the schools I once applied

Check Rightmove and zoopla for rent prices there. I don't know about jobs. If your wife wants to teach she will need to find a sch to work as a trainee that can support her to get qualified teacher status QTS so she subsequently earns better

uchman:

You are right on track, however, as soon as the renewed P is ready, update the schools with its details ASAP

Some schools require POF to issue CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies) while some schools you can get CAS without showing your POF but you will still show it to UKVI.
