Hello,

Is it right to get a shared student accommodation before getting to the UK or book a hotel for the 14 days quarantine/isolation?

Please, share your experience.

Thank you.
Either is fine. A hotel or student accommodation is a better declaration than none, especially with regards to the 14 days isolation. UK wants to know where you will be the first 14 days of your arrival. It's that important that u can be denied entry if you fail to provide this detail.

Educate us more.. How I weigh my luggages at home ?, second which one is cabin and check in ?





[quote auqthor=SamReinvented post=95316366]

You can budget zero. I am a frequent traveller and I have never bribed an airport official in my life. If you’re a first time traveller, just be informed about all the airport procedures and keep a straight face, so you won’t be looking and behaving like a JJC when you get to the airport. Also follow all the rules. Weigh your luggage before leaving your house and also know the things allowed in your luggage (both cabin and check-in).

This way, you can stand your ground and refuse to let anyone fleece you. Trust me, they will try, but they will leave you alone if you refuse to give them anything... as long as you actually haven’t broken any rule. If you don’t do anything that would require “abeg”, you can pass through the airport without paying a dime.[/quote]

I was so tensed reading that comment given the fact that career in finance are generally easy to get jobs compared to arts & humanities. It is well.

I can imagine. Even at that we have others that are so lucky, planning well and believing is key.

It will all end in praise

Almost exactly my case too, same date I got decision mail. Only that mine was standard since 24th of September and it's already a month now (Calender) and I think like 22/23 working days.

I called called ukvi at least 8 times with almost the same story everytime and the last time the lady made it look like it was because TLS was closed due to the curfew and all. I told her I should have had a response/collection email even before then but still told me to wait.




xander21:
Guys I need your advise.

I received decision mail (priority service) on the 15th October, up till now I haven't received a collection mail.
The tracker shows it hasnt been "Transferred to VAC" which I find odd.

I called on the 20th, the lady says I should wait till next week, that the priority only guarantees a decision will be made within 5 working days, but doenst guarantee delivery within the time frame. Which is rubbish!

I am aware the TLS offices are closed, but something should have happened at least. Does anyone have any idea when the offices will be open?

I intend to go to the UK embassy in lagos to make complaints next week, the moment offices open.

cc: justwise, mimilyrics

Buy a scale, one of the digital ones which you attach to your luggage and use to lift the bag/box/piece of luggage so it can read the weight. They are generally accurate - Game in Lekki Mall sells a very good one. Allow for a kilo or so to cover any variables in weighing equipment (e.g. if I have a 23kg allowance, I get my bag to weigh in at 22kg max), and try to make sure that each piece of luggage comes under your allowed limit because the airlines are strict about charging for excess baggage these days, they need money.

Secondly, I too am a frequent traveller and have luckily never been extorted or been compelled to "drop", but it can happen to anyone. I used to willingly "drop" 200 at Customs in the bad old days before they brought in the scanner machine and used to search your luggage by hand, when carrying the food our Nigerians crave in London or simply because I disliked people disarranging my carefully stuffed luggage (I used to prefer carrying just one piece of luggage, a big strapped canvas rucksack which I stuff tightly with my clothes, yet another smaller backpack, laptop, etc., and unpacking and repacking that thing on the Customs table na work).

Remember that the agencies at the airport have statutory powers, e.g. Customs is empowered to search your luggage, so is NDLEA and Immigration with those not-so-undercover pseudo-security service guys they have there to check your passport and ask routine questions such as why you're travelling, etc., and in a corrupt country like Nigeria these powers are open to abuse. If they want to extort or delay you or make your life difficult they will. The truth is they generally don't, but they can. Customs might decide to do a body search, Immigration might decide your visa/passport/passport stamp(s) appears fake. Only big men have full rights in Nigeria.

Thank you greatly! I actually thought it was only hotels since the student accommodation is shared with other students and residents in the same hall.

It's fine, cheaper and more convenient with student accommodation than hotels.

House..I declared a Canadian refusal today to University of Sunderland. I received email this evening that they can't act as my sponsor due to a Canadian Study visa refusal..I thank God I have not paid any deposit yet..it seems the best berth is not to declare refusal during admission Application process but must be declared during visa processing.am i correct?.

You are right, for most schools the answer is meant to be NO so as to get CAS easily from them.
But for the UKVI, the truth must be told regarding information.

If you know the process, it's the same procedure and requirements. Nothing has changed and loads have gotten their visas.
