Hello house,
I just did my biometrics now for my evisa....and I was told they'll notify me when to get my passport. Pls, anyone with an idea of when it Will take. I did my bio 8:10 am this morning. And I have to travel back.

For those that was granted eVisa, how did you access it?

I followed the instructions and I entered every details correctly but I'm getting "Details entered does not match our record"

Please, am I doing it the wrong way?

Note: I was issued an eVisa yesterday, 14th of August... and I did my Biometrics on Monday 11th of August..

If you got an eVisa, I will be glad if you can give me a guide on how to access it.

Thank you!

Try resetting your password to your UKVI account.

Try forgot p

I did and I was taken back to my visa application process page

I am bit confused, do I need to create another UKVI account that is different from the one I used for my application?

I created a new UKVI account and I was asked to link my UKVI account to my eVisa (an eVisa that I haven't seen).

Note: I haven't picked up my physical passport yet even though I was emailed on Monday that it is available for pickup

I am a bit confused with the whole thing TBH

Have you gotten a visa decision yet? You said your biometrics was on Monday 11th and I don't know how possible it is to get a visa decision within 3 days unless you paid for Priority.
Kindly ensure you have gotten a visa decision first.

Yes, I have gotten a Visa Decision already

Hi everyone,

Please I need advice.
So I did forestry and wildlife as an undergraduate. But i heard its not really compulsory you do something related to your undergrad though I'll prefer to.

So i searched for high demand courses (degrees with the very high possibilities of securing a job in the uk related to my course of study and some courses popped out). E.g

*Environmental Management

*Geographic Information Systems (GIS) & Remote Sensing

*Environmental Data Science / Climate Change

*Sustainable Forestry / Forest Management

*Conservation with Policy & Management

What I need your advices on are;
1. If you think I should go for any of those courses or you have better suggestions as regards high chances of securing a skilled worker's visa with a relatively well paying job because I heard it can be hard to do that.

2. Going to an affordable university, particularly in areas with low/affordable cost of living plus where part time jobs can be easily gotten because I heard that can also be another struggle.

Any other suggestions/advice will be really appreciated🙏🏽

Thanks in advance for your help.

You do not need a new UKVI account if you already have one. Go to gov.uk and navigate from there.

Thanks in advance for your help.

If your main aim is job security and Skilled Worker sponsorship, then GIS & Remote Sensing or Environmental Data Science would be your top picks. They combine your background with high-demand technical skills. Environmental Management can also work, but the more technical your skillset, the better your chances.
As for the area that are affordable,in terms of location I will say Scotland has cheaper living expenses but generally just avoid central London

There are several university in the uk with cheks tuition fees e.g

York St. John university
Teeside university e.t.c I hope this helps

Good day all.
please i need clarification, i wish to apply for Mres in business management which would enable me travel with my partner and our son.
and based on our budget, york st john university seemed cheaper.
I checked other schools but their tuition deposit is higher than our budget.
I wish to get an advice from any one whom had applied to this school and travelled via this route with their dependent.
or if you know someone who had in the past please let me know how this went.

my questions would be :
what was the duration before the admission decision came from the school ?
Did they request for an official transcript? / your student copy suffixed?
Was there an interview before issuing a CAS?
Since their MRes campus is based in East london what is life like there regarding accommodation and job.

Thanks God bless you all.

Hello,
Pls how much was your IHS & VIsa fees when u applied?

Hi! It's was a lymph sum because I registered for PhD. I was supposed to paid about 3492 pounds but an additional 171 pounds was charged, guess exchange fees and tax, making 3665 pounds altogether.
For visa application, 545 pounds was debited.

Thank you very much bro. Your response really helped.

I’d advise you to strongly consider pursuing a master’s degree in a field that aligns with your marketable experience.

Skilled visa-eligible roles typically require a certain level of experience, and policy trends are moving toward limiting entry-level or below-graduate roles for new immigrants.

If your long-term plan is to secure residency through the skilled worker pathway, it’s worth reflecting carefully on this.

There are immigrants who have secured visa sponsorships in roles such as chefs, while others with master’s degrees in high-demand fields like cybersecurity have still struggled to find employment.

Hello guys

1. Please is your PhD 3 or 4 years?
2. Also, what was your mode of payment and what was the total cost in Naira?
3. You mean visa fee was £545?
