Please guys, can I find a university that takes 3rd class in the UK? Please I want to apply for the January intake. Can you help me out with the university? Thank you all

Please, I'd like to ask if I can use a related PGDip or PG Certificate University admission CAS after already have a BSc degree in Nigeria to apply for the UK student visa (Tier4).
Will it fly?

or does it have to be a Masters admission for me to secure Tier4.

Thank you .

Waiting for TLS mail after a decision has been made can be so draining . May God come through for all of us waiting to receive TLS mail. Amen

Omooooooo:



Yes, it was made on the 27th of July

Is it free to help process the admission or they charge?

Free I believe, I don't know what you mean by They Charge though but you can run all yourself.

Buez:

It's all your choice. Withdrawing is also good. Just do it on time. January 2023 is here

Teniloluwa:
I wasn't offered admission, the mail sent to me stated ( we are unable to continue to process your application for September. if you are interested in continuing with your application for either january or september to defer on the form) but that particular application doesn't have my passport, because i collected my passport after the deadline. so that is why i asked if it is best to just withdraw that application and re-apply.

Most of the UK universities are application fee free.

thelonehermit:

Ahahaha we been don already dey together for many years, engaged already but na economy make us never marry so no be say na just visa wan make me marry biko kwa.

Also, please does University choice play a significant role in visa approval? For example if you get admitted to any of Oxbridge, is that already a sure banker for visa vs smaller Unis?

Thanks a lot for your insightful answers. Are you already in the UK or also a prospective student?

bro do your research very well. Can a Russian citizens enters UK? Thought they have been ban from entering. Please research .

After paying for my TLS services and securing a biometric date, I was sent an email containing details of my payment and my date for biometric.
I have successfully amended the date to a closer one but I didn't get a mail for the amendment. Am I good to go? And what proof will I have to show at TLS for them to know that I actually have an appointment that new amended date?

Ogbomojugun:

[b]List of UK universities:
https://www.ukuni.net/universities
https://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/league-tables/rankings
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_universities_in_the_United_Kingdom
Contacting UKVI about you visa application: [/b]https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside-outside-uk/y
[b] GENERAL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS:
1. Your academic transcript.
2. Your CV/resume (postgraduate study).
3. Copy of your passport.
4. Reference/recommendation letters/Contacts. Many schools take recommendations by email – they ask you for your recommender(s)’s emails and send them the link to fill in their recommendations. Alternatively, you can send a scanned copy of the recommendation letter on the letter-headed paper of your recommender’s company via email or upload via the student portal depending on your school.
5. A personal statement. This is your opportunity to sell yourself as an excellent fit for the school/course.
6. An English language qualification such as IELTS, SSEC or WAEC C6 or above or TOEFL. Some schools accept a letter from your previous institutions stating that you were fully taught in English. Find out what your school will accept from you.
Note: Many schools will require you to submit the bank statement or the proof of funds that you want to use before issuing your CAS.
Also, have your travel history at hand as many schools will like to know if you have been refused visas previously and why to enable them to gauge your success at getting a visa. Declaring refusals to schools and UKVI doesn’t mean that your visa application will be rejected, it only means that some schools might decline your application due to the risk of your student refusal as a means to retain the integrity of their admission/CAS issuance processes as certain refusals cast negative light on the integrity of their processes.

REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDENT VISA

Note 6: Prepare for an interview even if the possibility is low so that you are ready for any eventuality.

b. You can also submit a sponsorship letter (see sample here: https://docs.gre.ac.uk/rep/sas/example-sponsorship-letter ) if you're sponsored by
i. Her Majesty’s (UK) Government
ii. The applicant’s home (Nigerian, in this case) government

It must also confirm that the funds will be available to you, or paid directly to the sponsor, before you begin your course.

8. Consent letter: You'll also need a letter from your parent(s) or guardian that states that they consent to you using the funds in the account for which evidence has been submitted. This is only applicable if using their bank statements. See sample here: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.westminster.ac.uk/sites/default/public-files/general-documents/Example%2520of%2520parent%2520consent%2520letter.doc&ved=2ahUKEwjVuYnvs9rtAhX7UxUIHR04C3cQFjALegQIBxAB&usg=AOvVaw23ibrOLrlQod4FOobTdsJp

10. Consent letter: Under 18s will also need a consent letter from both parents and/or their guardian consenting to their visa application, their living arrangements in the UK and their travel to the UK. See example here (edit as required): http://documents.manchester.ac.uk/display.aspx?DocID=29499
https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/ssid/immigration/tier-4-application/supporting-documents#consent

Graduate visa (after successfully completing your studies) https://www.gov.uk/graduate-visa
Cost: Visa - £715 + IHS (£624 per year * 2 for Masters programmes and £624 per year * 3 for PhDs) = £1,963 (Masters) and £2,587 (PhDs). This visa can’t be extended, you’ll need to migrate to another visa that allows you to work and live in the UK eg. Skilled worker visa, Innovator visa, Global Talent visa, any family route visa etc.

FOR DEPENDANTS: Your family should ideally be in the UK as your dependant under the Student visa for them to qualify as your dependants under the Graduate visa route. This means that they must apply to join you more than 6 months to the end of your course since IHS isn’t charged and BRPs are not issued for any visa below 6 months. If your dependants apply when you have less than 6 months to the end of your course, it means that they won’t be charged IHS and if they need medical attention, they might need to pay out of pocket. Also, proving their right to work might be difficult with this – anyone who has applied less than 6 months to the end of the main applicant’s visa should please state their experience for others to gain from.
a. Spouses only: Marriage certificate.
b. Spouses and Children: Maintenance evidence: Bank statement showing £845 monthly * 9 months (£7,605) for within London or £680 monthly * 9 months (£6,120) for outside London. This must be in the account for at least 28 days; the end of the 28 days must not be older than 31 days before your application.

For dependant spouses, the money can be in your account or your partner's account.
For dependant children, the money can be in either parent's account.
Note: If applying shortly after the main applicant, be ready to show evidence of the main applicant’s funds (ie. Bank statements showing that he/she still has part of the money that hasn’t been spent on tuition or living expenses, rent/tuition receipts and any other document to prove that the money is not being recycled).

c. Spouses and children: TB test certificate (From IOM only)

d. Your child(ren) only: Child(ren)'s birth certificate showing you as their parent.
Note: If you’re taking care of a family member who’s now like a child to you and you’d like to take this child with you to the UK, you must provide an adoption certificate, court document showing that you have been appointed as the child’s legal guardian or granting you parental responsibility over the child.
These documents must be dated before the child turns 18 (ideally while the child is under age 16).

e. Spouse or parent's Biometric Residence Permit if they are already in the UK. Their vignette /GWF number if they have gotten their vignette but are still in Nigeria or if they are awaiting their application decision.

f. For spouses, you can include pictures of you and your spouse to prove that your marriage is genuine and subsisting or communication evidence (if you have lived apart prior to your application especially in cases where the spouse has travelled to the UK already). You can also use joint accounts, letters from your doctor, joint properties amongst many others to show that your marriage is real.

g. For children only: consent letter signed by both parents or legal guardian. See sample here (edit as required): http://documents.manchester.ac.uk/display.aspx?DocID=29499

https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/ssid/immigration/tier-4-application/supporting-documents#consent

h. Your passport.

i. IHS payment. No need to upload your IHS receipt as the payment is automatically linked to the application for which it was made.

Also, having detailed childcare plans while you study helps – contact nurseries/schools around your area to give you an idea of how to weave this into your application.

Please guys, I need your opinion on this

Samongo:
Hello guys

I have been denied a USA student F1 visa twice and with no specific reason, I was told on both occasions that I was not qualified at the time and can reapply another time. Hope I can answer the question of previously refused visa on my ukvi visa application like this or is there a specific way to answer? Secondly, I could only add one of the refusal date. Please how do I add the second date to it since I was denied twice? I will also like to ask if there is any downside to putting my NIN on the application.
Thanks in anticipation of your response.

Fibonacci2021:
You can use either USD or Pounds. Whichever you can easily lay hands on. You can open a Dorm account. Fund it. Get a $ or £ card and use it for payment of Ihs and Visa fees.

Please which bank card works perfectly
