Hello guys...Congratulations to those that just got their visas! I missed coming here

1. If you can make over 50% tuition fee payment please do (using form A)..in fact, I would advise 70%
2. Make necessary arrangements for accommodation. The UK can be annoying even with your money at hand Oooo.
3. When you land, please don't rush to buy stuffs..ask and ask and ask questions. I can't go wrong! (you might get better deals)
4. People coming with family should take critical note of (2) ACCOMMODATION!!!
5. International driving licence might come in handy ( I started driving 1 month after I landed though, I got a Nissan £1,000)
6. Apply for a provisional driver's licence; it is a good photo ID in the UK.
7. If you are good at cycling, good!..cheap bikes are available and that will save you a lot...I did that before getting a car and still use it for short journeys to conserve fuel and burn excess McDonalds in the system!!!
8. Remember no padi for UK be ready to pay your own bills...be prudent and smart! I have heard stories of close family members throwing people out...that happened to some I met on this platform. When he told me his ordeal..walahi I almost did not believe it!! I don't mean to scare anyone just that I want you guys to come prepared and self-reliant so that some people don't mess you up.
9. you might need a Police Character Certificate...not mandatory but I heard some people requiring it for jobs. Better than begging people who will now exploit you because you are in the abroad

Well all na gist I just gist una...I dey here to support as usual!!!

Thanks for this info
Paying extra through form A is not a bad idea however it largely depends on ones total budget for the japa movement.

Please how can one obtain an international driving licence?
Also the police character, what are the processes?
Please advise

Your condition is even better. They made it known to me in my offer letter that they won't accept any letter that my undergrad course was taught in English language.

I think it was stated Bcus of your course, your course must be competitive. Mine is MSc science mathematics and data science though, from the response of mail sent to me, they said may consider/ waive my ielts if I can provide evidence from my school which is a letter that shows I was taught in English

Good morning house.
Please I got married in last month. Does my wife need to do change of name and all to continue with whole process. Although, she applied to some schools with her maiden name.
I’m considering leaving it for now instead of having to go through the whole stress of changing every detail.
We intend to do the study/dependent route.
Can it fly please?
It doesn’t matter if we use different name as long as we have marriage certificate right?

I will appreciate a response please.

My candid advise to as many that want to pay tuition fee using E Form A is run away from using GTBANK....

I thank God my money was debited yesterday and I got my Telex as well after 3 weeks of waiting, calling and sending series of emails. My school has blocked me from accessing the school portal and even threatening to report me to the home office if my money is not seen latest 19th of this month. I wasted over 20k recharging my phone to be calling customer care and my stupid account officer.

I thank God it was a success now.
So run away from Gtbank is you don't have anyone there directly who can help you.

Thank GOD for you. Please, which school is this and is your admission for May or September? Also, can you please share the contact you're calling. Help a bro.

Someone said 2 of her House mates post work Visa was not approved and they were deported for doing more than 20hrs recommend.
Is it true that,you can't do more than that even when you have 100% class attendance

You can do more than 20 hours during holidays. Plus some other people are saying they worked more than 20 during term time and got it. It’s about working smart.

Hello Guys, Please i need a direction on how to go about things here o...

I woke up to see unconditional offer today, and got confused with the next step to take...

place I'll really be grateful if i can get the cost breakdown...
University of Hull..= 11,000 pounds

Step 1 = Deposit 2000pounds
step 2 = ......
.....................

Thanks in advance

Most uni do the breakdown in 3. First is 2k like you said, second should be 4,500 pounds when you get your visa or when you get there (before you can be allowed to get I’d card or enter class). Last 4,500 pounds in second semester like January, if going for September cause. That was what my uni did then, but my uni divided the instalment in 3 equal parts including deposit.
But send them an email to ask them for the breakdown.

House good morning, I got my offer letter and I really don’t understand the payment installment, kindly explain to me better please . Check attached pic to see the details. Thanks.

She can definitely go ahead with her maiden, there is no problem with that. My wife and I got married couple of months back as well and the whole process to do a change of name and NIN update, new international passport etc was daunting and we couldn’t pull that off in the small space of time we had, so we decided she keep her maiden name for now. A lot of women choose to keep their maiden, it’s not a big deal that she must do a change of name. When you are submitting your visa application make sure to include your marriage certificate and some proof like pictures. Ya all will be good. Goodluck!!

Please advise

I greet you, sir or madam!

1. for an international driver's licence you need to have a valid local licence then visit the same centre where you renew (FRSC or VIO office) and tell them you want an international driver's licence. Please ensure to go with two passport photographs. The cost is around N10,000..do not be exploited!!!

2. for a Police Character Certificate please visit the criminal registry office, Alagbon, Lagos, or other state command headquarters. Also, you can sort for people who act as an agent to help get it sorted on this platform..some of them are trustworthy! it is your choice on that!

#Shalom

Good morning Sir/ma
Please someone should send me link and guidelines to fill Form A

.

Good morning friends. Please I need advise. I got an offer for two courses from Swansea University:
1. MA Applied Criminal Justice and Criminology
1. MA Developmental and Therapeutic Play.

I'm ready to go for either of them, but I'm considering the job prospects after studies for both courses in Uk.

Please can someone tell me what the job prospects look like for both courses and also I need advise on the one to choose.

Thank you

That was not the reason they were refused post study visa

Have you gotten your Post Study Visa?
Did you worked more than the stipulated 20hrs a week during school term?
Let's us hear the Truth

Please, how many weeks did it take for the admission to be given and Please did you write IELTS?

Hello guys! I think I f* up. I submitted my student visa application today but didn’t submit my CAS. I did this because I read the I only need the CAS ref and Sponsor’s license number. I already filled the numbers during my application. Also, I asked a TLS agent and she also said I don’t need to submit the paper copy of my CAS since I already inputted my reference number during my application. But, getting home, *some people* are saying I did the wrong thing and it’s a must to submit the paper copy.
My question is, what do I do now? I’m confused. Do I call TLS to book an appointment if they can still help me upload it?

You are fine, lot of people gotten their visas without submitting their CAS online. Dont allow people get you worked up on it

duchess90:
Hello,

I think this issue has been well addressed. Do not work more than 20hrs per week regardless of attendance. (Except during holidays)

In addition,if your attendance drops below a certain level you will get a caution email and if it continues you can be reported.

Cheers

The truth is people rely on the income from those jobs to finance their study.
no be everyone Papa get money like your own o.

No, just be calm.....a lot of people have gotten visas without submitting CAS with their application online. They already have a copy.

Edwosa:


My school routes our tuition deposit via flywire, so I processed my payments on flywire website and I was issued a payment advice this was what I uploaded.

I don't know how your school works, you may need to contact the finance team of your school for further advice.

Bournemouth University also routes their tuition deposit via flywire, Can I still use form A

You can do more than 20 hours during holidays. Plus some other people are saying they worked more than 20 during term time and got it. It’s about working smart.

Tell us how one can work smart and get away with working more than 20hrs a week during term time.
