Hello Chiamaka and others that need this,

Let me make your work easier.

1. You apply to schools using:

a. Your first degree certificate ( BSc or HND)
b. Transcript
c. Biodata page of International Passport
d. CV
e. Referees
f. Statement of Purpose

2. You are offered Conditional admission or Unconditional admission ( Conditional in most cases).
For Conditional, you will be requested to provide some additional documents in order to get Unconditional offer. e.g Official Transcript, Scratch card to confirm your WAEC Engish Language grade online etc


3. You will make Tuition deposit payment if you are okay with the school. This van be done via form A or buy paying using a domiciliary account debit card. Form A is cheaper but takes between 3 weeks and 10 weeks. For a Tuition Deposit of £4k, you can save up to N900,000 if you use form A.

4. You will go for Tuberculosis Test at IOM. There is Lagos center and Abuja Centre. The cost is N57,800 for 11 years and above. N21,320 or so for children below 11 years.


5. There's something called Poof of Fund. This is your Tuition Balance + Living expenses in the UK.

Living Cost for London:
Main Applicant is £1334 × 9months
Dependant is £845 × 9months

Living Cost outside London:
Main Applicant is 1023 × 9months
Dependant is 680 × 9months

Let's calculate POF for a student outside London with Total Tuition of £14 and Tuition Deposit of £4k.
Remember that POF is Tuition Balance + Living Cost
£10,000 + £9207 = £19,207


To get the naira value, you use the OANDA currency converter. Just search OANDA on Google.

Using an OANDA rate of Let's say 510 naira per pound, we have 19207 × 510 = N9,795,570. You can approximate you POF to be N11,000,000.

This means that you must maintain a minimum of 11m in your account for at least 28 days before you apply for visa.

6. After Tuition Deposit Payment is confirmed by the school, the school issues Unconditional Admission Offr after you must have provided required documents.

7. You begin CAS process by undergoing Credibility Check. This is a check conducted by the school to confirm if you are a genuine student.
Some schools call it CAS questionnaire, Some call it Pre-cas interview

8. If you provide satisfactory responses, you will be issued a statement or document called Condition of Acceptance for Studies (CAS). This is somewhat the most important document in this journey. It is what shows that a licensed school is sponsoring you to school in the UK.
[b]If your responses are not satisfactory, you will NOT be issued CAS and your admission offer will be withdrawn.

9. Visa Application.

You will be scheduled for biometrics( Not visa interview) after filing the online application form and paying IHS and VISA fees.
IHS is Insurance Health Surcharge for your health insurance while in the UK.
IHS is £705 for one year
Visa is £363 per person

There are 3 centres for biometrics capturing in Nigeria. Abuja TLS, Ikeja TLS and VI TLS

10. Travel to the UK after visa is issued.

This is a summary of A-Z process. Sleep don dey catch me, I wan go sleep grin grin grin

Wow. Thanks. This is very comprehensive. Like how many references are idle. Also must they be all work related?

Please i need a little clarification on the subject matter.

We are family of 4 Myself ,My wife and two daughters and my wife has applied for an admission into one of the uk universities.

But my little fear are as follows:

She has a study gap of 17 years but she is still with in 40years of age. She has a working experience of 15 years with 13 years working experience as a federal civil servant while the other two years was in a teaching Job.

Just have 2 Referees ready and you should be fine.

They do not all have to be work Referees, you can also use Academic Referee.

However, you should provide their work email addresses like michael.jackson@zenithbank.com or fela.anikulapo@unilorin.edu.ng

Kindly also ensure that you use Referees that check their email constantly because each time you apply to schools, there will be an auto-generated email sent to them to confirm a few things.

If I missed out anything, others will definitely add.

Hello

Divorced in Jan ( is that the decree nisi or absolute)

How long has he known this new GF

How is he suddenly ready to adopt his GF's daughter?

I agree with the other person that says it screams desperation and in my opinion his chances are slim

Apart from that the single mum has a lot of work to do before getting her daughter's visa

Cheers

I have a question. Please how long can u give an estimate on when it takes most schools to update student record after paying initial deposit through Form A
Schools should typically confirm receipt of Tuition Deposit within 5 business days if processed via form A. For Web payment using cards, that's confirmed immediately.

Please cultivate the habit of following up with well-written emails.

Let me share a short story on the importance of proper follow-up.


I took over someone's application recently.

Teesside University almost served her breakfast last week because of Credibility Check ( pre-cas questionnaire).

1. She responded to the questions the first time and was rejected by the school.
2. She hired someone to guide her the second time and was also rejected by the school.

The school sent her an email last week, telling her that she has only one opportunity left. Failure to provide satisfactory responses would mean she won't be issued CAS.

She started panicking and catching cold grin grin grin This is someone that already paid Tuition deposit of £4000 and already incurred other costs as at that last week.

I told her to keep calm because one final attempt is enough. We turned in impressive and convincing responses the following day. ( We followed up with an email)
grin
She also uploaded Proof of Fund about 3 days after; 2 Banks (we followed up with an email explaining why the school should expedite action in issuing CAS)

Teesside University sent emails to the Banks to confirm authenticity of the Bank statements and the school copied the Applicant in the email. ( We followed up with the Banks via email and calls). In fact, I requested that she put me on a conference call with one of the Banks and I showed them pepper despite not being their customer grin grin

CAS was issued on the 3rd of August ( exactly one week from the day she was given last opportunity for pre-cas questionnaire)

Please note that the importance of proper follow-up cannot be overemphasised.

Teesside University have a poor review on Nairaland but I was really impressed with how promptly they delivered. I had to compose a commendation email and asked the Applicant to send to them.

Hello

There are lots of sample consent letter on Google but here's on that was done by someone on Nairaland. Fine tune it to fit your circumstances and remove bits on Covid

2. If it is assisted service then go with original copies of the documents stated on your CAS

3. Dependants will need to include proof of relationship for your spouse marriage certificate and other evidence of marriage. for kids birth cert. Don't forget your evidence of maintenance

To make it easier, go through the thread and look out for people's timelines and documents submitted to make your list

Got deferment mail this morning informing me I have been automatically moved to resume in January. This is after almost 3months of running POF and the mental stress. I wish everyone still waiting for CAS from Derby good luck.

There was no empathy in the mail they sent. They made it look like it's no big deal but knowing what we know here, they f**ked up

Were you the one that delayed in making payment or delayed in providing some documents?

[quote author=duchess90 post=115245470]Hello

Applying on the 6th of August is not too late

2.Your bank statement should have your proof of maintenance funds, you don't need any accommodation booking for student visa

3. Anyday from the 2nd of September

4. After you have finished your application, submitted and when booking your appointment for your biometrics you can add that service on TLS

5. Your Uni is notifying UKVI that they conducted credibility interview and probably attached a copy on the sponsorship system for their record, pretty much saying they are satisfied that your intention is to study

Cheers

Let's calculate POF for a student outside London with Total Tuition of £14 and Tuition Deposit of £4k.
Remember that POF is Tuition Balance + Living Cost
£10,000 + £9207 = £19,207


To get the naira value, you use the OANDA currency converter. Just search OANDA on Google.

10. Travel to the UK after visa is issued.

This is a summary of A-Z process. Sleep don dey catch me, I wan go sleep grin grin grin
Thank you so much. I thought CAS is admission letter. My own letter is conditional. They want another Personal Statement. I am already working on it. I understand better now. Thank you
