Thank you so much for this elaborate response. I'm going to my mum's friend place, fortunately. So I guess I don't need much food stuff so I'll pack a few among your list. I have a dollar card with a substantial amount so I guess I got that part covered. Someone told me to get jackets, thick socks and gloves so I'll add that to my list as well.

And lest I forget, do you know if I'll be required to take another covid test in the UK upon my arrival?

No need to buy more than one jacket et al, the weather is unseasonably warming already. You can decide what you need after you arrive.
Also come along with your naira card, you can shop with it on Amazon, which gives students "free" one day delivery for lots of items, so no need to pack toilet paper for instance. Online transactions with a naira card are charged at official CBN exchange rates, while using a USD card will ultimately cost more. As someone above said, there's really nothing you need to carry with you because everything's available here, so if you're a devotee of Nigerian food, you can decide to use up your luggage space that way.

I used 54gene as recommended by someone on this thread. Did the test friday morning, results came out Saturday morning,, thats about 24hours, I travelled Sunday night.

Thanks to everyone on this thread who asked and answered questions.

We had to pay the 210GBPs each (myself and spouse) while filling locator form. The home covid tests where delivered to our apartment before we even arrived in Sunderland. Took and posted the first yesterday being day 2. the 2nd is on day 9.

Good morning everyone. I am new this thread but I need an advice on something.
I recently got admitted to a school in UK for Msc, I already started Online classes I am looking to apply for my Visa early March.
My issue is that my tuition fee is 14,700 pounds and I already paid 12,000 out of it, with the remaining tuition and living expenses I would need about 6.4m. Which I have but my husband will be applying with me and I heard I would need another 6,300 pounds for him which is about 3.4m but the total amount in the account is just 8m. Do you think I can attach a letter to my application stating that I already started online classes hence my own living expenses has reduced since I have just about 9 months to finish up.

Thank you smiley

I didn't use any email address.
I searched on Google and got a contact form that I filled and I later got a response from them which came in as a mail. It was this email address I then continued to use to communicate with them.

Filling the form attracted some charges though.


https://contact-ukvi.homeoffice.gov.uk/app/international/payment/language/English


That is the link from Google.

Please..what is the email address you use in contacting them?

Ok. Thanks for this.

JustCare:


I saw your dm. It’s positive, you should get feedback in 5 working days max.
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by Bourne007(m): 10:46am On Feb 17, 2021
A letter stating the bolded will be irrelevant. As long as you are doing a FT study and your CAS stating start and end dates, you will still need to FULLY meet up with the Student Visa / Dependant requirements.

Maybe you apply first and partner applies later.

Thank you. I would have loved to apply for my spouse later but the thing is my sponsor borrowed the money and he has promised to return it at the ending of the month and I don't when such an opportunity to get that sort of amount would come by again.
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by Bourne007(m): 11:12am On Feb 17, 2021
Well, you will have to either top your account and count 28 days again or make tuition fee payment so maintenance meets up with 2 applicants. I'm assuming your uni is outside London.

If dependant applies later, does d main applicant show his POF if the dependant is using the main applicant's bank statement and still in Nigeria?

Is there a way one can start a new application and link the IHS you have already paid to continue with standard visa fee payment?

I selected paga verve while about to pay for the visa fee but since then it has been on payment pending, so I think I should start a new application and if possible I can link the ihs reference number

Thanks boss. I already had that in mind. I know I'll most probably have to settle for a beat up jacket I wouldn't fancy anyways, something tells me since the items aren't in demand here I might find it difficult to get cheap jackets that are fine in terms of aesthetics. And pertaining to food, I've decided to bring along only soup ingredients like egusi, grinded pepper, curry, thyme and other spices so it wouldn't take up much space in my luggage. Thanks again, my good man.

Edited

As regards that forex, yes you're indeed accurate about paying with my naira mastercard. I actually never thought of it that way. Thank you.
