Thanks, I think I understand now.

TheGuyFromHR:


When buying the test kits online from the provider, they will ask you your arrival date in the UK, as your test kits are supposed to be sent to you the day after you arrive the UK so you will get them in time to take the Day 2 test. That should be what they mean.

Please I just booked a Covid test and put my arrival date to be on the 26th of August but they sent the attached email that the test kit will be dispatched next day. Does this mean it will be delivered tomorrow or just dispatched to arrive around August 26th? I am confused
2. I got the day 2 and 8 package for £70 but Just checked out the review of my provider(Expert medicals) and it is really poor. Does this affect anything or has anyone here used them please?

Unconditional offers? I guess getting original certificate is a must, really trying to skip that.

ListerCompaq:


I used statement of result and got offers from 2 schools.
Currently processing my transcript and certificate.

Hello guys, please can statement of result be accepted instead of a certificate for admission or enrollment purposes?

Thanks for this.
The least I have seen so far is £50 per night, will have to check again.

Go on to Airbnb website at airbnb.co.uk.
This is summer and holiday property might not be priced the way it will be in the next 3 months, but I shouldn't think Sheffield will be pricey. I just checked and I can see some 4-starred and above offers ranging from 20 - 33 pounds a night in and around Sheffield for a randomly chosen 10 day stay in late August for 2 guests.

And yes you need to have an address to fill in the locator form, so you'll have to book before you travel.

Please who knows any good site where I can book affordable airbnb? The ones I am seeing on google are on the high side and I plan to stay for 2 weeks including the quarantine period before getting an accommodation.
Also, I think getting a place to stay comes before completing the passenger locator form and booking for the day 2 and 8 test cos I need to fill in the address I will stay in on the form. How correct is this please? I am heading to Sheffield

Thanks

rabola1:
It doesn't matter where you do the test ad far as it is an NCDC accredited lab. It ll be accepted

Thanks

Bourne007:
It doesn't matter

Thanks
@justwise or any other person that has an answer can contribute please

Dumebi213:


tbh, I don't know, I have also asked the question earlier

I don't know when you want to travel but I'm waiting till I get my visa before messaging an agent, that's when I'll have answers

Please does it matter if I do the NCDC test in Lagos and travel from Abuja?

Dumebi213:


Find and purchase a Day 2 and 8 tests kit - https://www.find-travel-test-provider.service.gov.uk/test-type/amber

Fill Passenger Locator form (very important, you can be fined for not filing this) - https://www.gov.uk/provide-journey-contact-details-before-travel-uk

Register your departure with NCDC - https://nitp.ncdc.gov.ng/onboarding/homepage

This is as far as I know

Biometrics date are selling out fast and same date may not be available when you finish all applications, so your best bet for getting same day appointment is via walk in. Ps: if your agent is confused, why are you paying him then?

Melahou:


Any idea how I can book biometric for the whole family?

Is it through "walk in" ?

Because my agent seems to be confused

Anyone that has an Abuja appointment can answer this please?

Preshyi:
Please does anyone have an August appointment for IOM Abuja? Is it true that all their August appointments were rescheduled?

The Visa vignette has a 90days validity period, if they dont travel before it expires then that's a whole different process again.

Keren12:
Please can a primary applicant leave the dependent behind after the visa as been issued to all of them. Then after like month's the dependant will now join him over there? Please i need urgent answers.

yinkaorry:
Wow. Thanks for the tips. How long did it last

Memorise everything cos it's a skype call and there wouldn't be room for looking away from the camera.

Tokenotp:


Ahn ahn! Whataapun?!!! Nawa o. Question be like US Visa interview. It is well o.

Best hack: Know some of these things about your school off hand, while you write some on a paper. (If it's not a video interview) Practice them.

Just study the Pre Cas preparation documents they sent but The summary is:
The number 1 question was my Student Id, please memorize that. Know all your course modules, why you choose Sheffield hallam Uni and what you know about Sheffield City, about accommodation- where you plan to stay, how much it cost and how far away it is from the Uni, whether you wanna work in the UK and why, what you presently do and how much you earn, why you choose your course and how it's related to your previous course of study, if you have dependants coming with you and what they plan to do in the uk, closest airport to Sheffield and how far it is to Sheffield, Organisations you plan to work for after completion of your studies. These are the much I can remember

yinkaorry:
Please tell me about the interview cos mine is next week Wednesday. How long did it last please.

Someone can do the test in Lagos and travel from Abuja right?

Dumebi213:

Depends but it's generally 72hr/48hrs before travel

I am going to Sheffield Hallam, I got my CAS 5 working days after the pre Cas interview and we are expected to pay 50% of fees before enrollment but I am not sure how much after enrollment

kemkemdiva:

Congratulations to you and hubby


Is it Sheffield hallam university or Sheffield university , coa i am applying for Sheffield hallam university!!! Want to know if their cas takes time and how much do i pay when you finish enrollment. For Sheffield hallam i mean !!! Pls amd applying for Sheffield hallam university and Brradford university

Usually they ask you to crosscheck all your documents. I think you need to go for certificate re-issue at the IOM office, the cost is 8500 per certificate.

OSPF:
Good evening House,

My family got our TB test result today, my wife is the student while our son and i are dependants but on the TB test result, my son and I's result shows "student without scholarship" while my wife's own "settlement with dependants".

Please is this a cause for concern? can this lead to visa refusal or complications?

People that have paid for flights should answer please. The flight fare is in USD, Can I use a naira card and at what rate will i be debited?

Preshyi:
Please guys, for the flight fee.... will the rate deducted from the account be charged with the bank rate or black market rate?

Yes the dependant is restricted from doing certain jobs such as being a sportsperson, a doctor or dentist in training and No you ain't entitled to public funds cos you ain't a tax payer, even students do not benefit
from that as well. You Vignette is in order

ayas123456789:
It's is stated in the Vignette (visa sticker) for a dependent partner( dependant restricted work, no sportsperson and no public funds) is these anything to worry about? If yes how do we go about it. Thanks guys

Yeah

Dumebi213:


Yh, I called to confirm, although it took about 4 calls and me having to explain that I can't remember the date

for those that have done the test, all I need to take is my passport and evidence of payment right?

She will do just that, thanks

fatima04:


Keep refreshing the page. The dates will open at some point. Mornings between 9 to 10am and evenings do work

Please guys, for the flight fee.... will the rate deducted from the account be charged with the bank rate or black market rate?

Congratulations

Visa alert!!!!!!

I am so emotional right now....it can only be God.
So I can write visa alert on nairaland?

Submission- 28th June
Biometrics- 1st July
Type- Standard
Got a mail from my School that my CAS has used-7th July
Decision mail- 13th July
Collection mail-15th July
DHL delivered- This afternoon in the rain!!!!!!!

I submitted lots of documents ( necessary documents) not just the documents stated on my CAS. e.g professional qualifications and certifications and POF was 45days.

Thank you to everyone that once quoted my questions and gave me a guiding answer. God bless you!!!!

No, I used my husband's email for his own and he got the collection mail on his email. While applying you will be asked if the mail belongs to the applicant or someone else.

frank043:


Hi Preshyi, please did you use the same email address for all applications (yourself and dependant)? Also, was the decision mail sent to just your email?

https://apply-to-visit-or-stay-in-the-uk.homeoffice.gov.uk/sort/live-in-crown-dependency/pbs_dependant_partner_out_uk?uid=326703f3-f3a8-4a4f-9552-23a98925b9e6
That's the Partner dependant link I used.

frank043:


Congratulations Preshyi!!!

Please kindly assist. While filling out the form for dependant (partner), what visa type are we to pick? I was expecting to see partner depandant visa. We won't want a situation where they will stamp 'NO WORK, NO BUSINESS' on the passport, just like someone experienced here.

Please see the attached image.

Many thanks.

Our biometrics day was just one day apart and same with our pickup date. The POF was all in my account and I indicated that on his own application, so I just submitted my statement of account. I have the Marriage certificate from the registry so I cant say much about that.

pinkasso:
Congrats .....did both of you submit the same time?......if No what POF did he use?.....in my own case our marriage certificate was given by the church/state/LGA.....there was no court marriage....any experience with these issues??

Let's make some noise biko!!!!
Biometrics: 8th July (priority)
Collection Email: 14th
Pickup: 15th
For my Dependant(Husband)
Biometrics: 9th July (Standard)
Collection mail: 15th
Pickup: 16th
We paid for priority for only myself but his own was processed exactly 5 working days. I guess it's a total waste paying for priority for dependants cos its processed same time with that of the main applicant. Atleast that's what happened in my case.
God bless whoever created this page and everyone that contributes here, I did the application all by myself with information gotten here. God Is the greatest!!!
Sheffield we are coming!!!!

Yes, sure

Have you gotten to Ikeja? Is it open?
