Yes, most school does but ensure to read the refunds policy of any school you are applying to before you pay.

Her salary is not much Sha? Is it safe to state the exact amount?

Adetounisloved:
Please go through the school website, you might see tutorial video on pre-cas interviews that will help you alot
They might ask about your income either annual or monthly
If you are married,try to know estimated income of your spouse

If ask about property and you have please declare it is an added advantage.

Above all BE CONFIDENT, dont let them itimidate you.

Good afternoon nairalanders. Please does anyone know how to speed up cas request on the sheild. Stuck on 25% university of south wales

You can't. Refreshing multiple times doesn't even help. You just wait.

bigeagleeye:


Is this Lagos or Abuja?
Alot of people have been suggesting Abuja as a faster place as it takes within the stipulated 3weeks but my family is in the Southwest and they're claiming Lagos centres can take 5weeks or more after biometrics.
Pls what do you suggest?

It would suggest Abuja. That's where I did mine. I was in at 8 and left just a little after 8:30. My appointment was August 2nd but I did a walk-in with my family.

Gurus in the house, I greet una, a question for the road;
I deferred my admission to January(from September) due to delay in fees payment from CBN but I was later debited today.
1: My school (University of Bradford) requires POF and TB before issuing CAS, is it too early to start the processing since I will be moving in January?

We gather Dey bro
I also deferred my admission to January(from September) due to delay in fees payment and getting telex from my bank

I think you have to wait till when they start issuing CAS for January before you can apply but you can start your POF and your TB now
I STAND TO BE CORRECTED

Dontos:
I heard they don't give CAS to Nigerian students, they do the visa application themselves through the rep.

Well I don't know how true this claim is but all I know is that once you upload all your required documents on the CAS shield page it automatically shows 25%, on the 5th day it reaches 100% and within 24-48hours CAS will be issued.

Maybe someone who has experienced what you just said will be able to shed more light.

If you have uploaded all your documents send a mail to joe.paley1@southwales.ac.uk and let them know you’ve been stuck

I put school address in my TB and a friend's address on my visa application.
I done my bio on 22/07/2022, hope it will not affect my application.

Gurus in the house , please I need an urgent response here


Please I need clarity here. If I book a prime/premium time for a later date and then, see an earlier date on that same prime/premium, will I retain that same price or I need to pay again since I am moving the date

Please, my biometric day is next week Monday 9:30am at ikeja TLS. Can my dependants walk in with me? If yes, are they going to pay for walking in with me? If yes how much? I have 3 dependants.
What's the best time to arrive the location?
What do we need to come in with?

Thank you

Hello nairalanders,
Please is this sure UK admission and visa only eligible for postgraduate and masters? I hardly see undergraduate testimony. Please shield more light and info about this. Thanks

Sure... I wan begin run my POF then before doing the test.. I don't mind going for my biometrics in October

She should just be truthful because some school send the pre-cas interview video to the embassy. Unless if she is not using her salary bank account as proof of fund

Elolam87:

Yes,they can walk in with you . Please print out their own appointment date form because they will still request for it .
I believe walk in is 42k per person and also have extra change with you
If your appointment is 9:30am be there by 9 or 9:15am because you wont be allowed in until it is 9:30am

Chiamaka206:
With everything I have learn since yesterday. Is not CAS that I have. Is the conditioner admission letter. They say I should submit another personal statement. Will I need personal statement for visa too?

Alright. You don't need a personal statement for visa application. You only need the personal statement to satisfy the conditions of your admission to get unconditional admission. When you get this unconditional admission and you decide to go with the school, it is then you will pay the deposit and be able to get CAS from the school.

Opeyemikas:
Good morning everyone thanks to everyone contributing to this wonderful thread….pls my question is this,my husband and I have started our journey to Uk on study visa and I’ll be going as his dependant he has received conditional offer already for Jan intake and he’s on the process to pay deposit in other to receive cas,but my question is that my passport will expire April 2023 and I heard when one wants to apply for visa the passport must be at least 6months to expiry…so I want to confirm how true this is so I’ll know if I should apply for another passport now before it gets to the time we’ll apply for visa….thank you

True, but I will advise that you should start application for another one now and see if you can get it on time. Although some persons have said it here on nairaland that you can get visa on a passport less than 6 months to expiration.

Just start the renewal process now so it will come out before you apply for visa.

P.S: If you don't have a reliable link to help you fast track it here in Lagos, I will suggest you do it outside of Lagos because people are too many in Lagos

So, if I apply for a credit card from my bank (Access) and they give me, I will be charged the same amount Transfermate quoted as the conversion rate on their portal?

GIOlayomi:
They only take Credit Card and USD Bank Transfer

Hello guys,

I got admission into the University of Essex to study Psychology. But their fees is quite expensive and the payment plan is not favourable. Is there anyone that got admission into the school or is schools there currently? I would like to know how good the school is or any other information that will be helpful

When did you apply to them? I saw the fees too that's why I'm holding back a bit but they have good student review on whatuni site

Oh boy! 7 week go far o.... Congratulations!
I pray my wife receive collection mail on Monday too. Amen in Jesus name ��

Please who knows of any online dollar card that can be used to make payment for IHS. It's weekend already, and I don't think I can get a dorm card.

Try Chipper cash but it is $715 to a dollar as at today. The maximum you can also deposit in a day is $1,000 so if you will need more than that, get other people to load their wallets also. You can always withdraw the balance to your account just that it will be at a lower rate.

Which bank card works best for online payments oooooo


Ejooorrrrrrrr!

@duchess

I read your response to a lady who said she only mentioned her husband in the spousal information section and didn't include him as a financial dependant since he doesn't depend on her financially and isn't also travelling with her just yet.

I filled my application today in the same vein and I hope this doesn't affect anything when I eventually want to apply for hubby

Hello

If that is the same situation then that should be fine

Cheers

Hello

It should retain as a zero

If it doesn't then you might need to pay again and ask for a refund

Hello beautiful people and thank you so much for all you do .

Please my questions are about PTA application

1. Must I have a Domiciliary account in the bank I’m using to apply or can the PTA be paid into my Dom account in any other bank?

2. Please does anyone know the Average time for PTA processing.

Thank you everyone for your consistent help

There is no one size fits most answer for this. Institutions are battling with an unprecedented increase in deposits from students so they would usually do this in an order that works for them. For some institutions it is quicker than others.

uchihak:
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

There is absolutely no need for this. Their Passport has 9 months validity given the April 2023 they wrote and the Uk does not work with 6 months validity at all. He or she can channel their energy into more pressing matters than running up and down in Lagos or outside Lagos .

Hi, this happened to me.
I paid 37k for prime time and 11, 700 for assisted service. Total plus tax was 48,700. This was for July 26th.

After a day or two, my husband saw a closer date(20th). We noticed a pop-up warning that said if you amend there will be no refund....but desperation/curiosity, my husband clicked on the date hoping that if he didn't confirm the payment it won't cancel the already booked one. That was it(26th appointment disappeared from the home page).

It read "no date set"

...... We booked/paid again for another prime time appointment for the 20th.

If you don't get NSF mails how do you know the outcome please cause I'm scared
