Guys, please be careful with the schools you apply to.

Even if your agent tell you stories abeg they do research on your own.

They revoked the licence of this school . This information is from the Government website so no deceive yourself and argue, research and read for yourself.

No go waste your time and money.

So many other schools will still go down....

This happened in 2012 and can still happen again, i no be witch sha. Just saying

Good day House,

My day 2 is on a Sunday and i cant chose that date when buying the Covid test kits, please which day is advisable, Saturday or Monday. Note that i will be arriving on Friday which will be day 0

Absolutely no need to worry if you have not cheated the system to get your visa. If use untouchable loan then get ready for a rough ride at the airport.

Family or single it doesn’t matter just do the right thing

But "Legitly",

Has anyone been denied entry at the border due to POF?

I mean sent back their home country and all because they couldn't prove/provide it at that point?

scoremanboy:
Hello my people, I'm traveling tomorrow and I would like to know if I need BTA and what other documents I need to bring with me because I don't immigration wahala . Thanks

You need PTA and not BTA, thata if you have a return ticket.

Clarine:


Heathrow. And you are traveling as a couple mostly. What sold them out was chats on the phone. Clear all chat.

Sorry, this is still confusing, how talk enter you giving them your phone.

What questions where they asked initially to warrant phone search.

Please help us get more info as am traveling through Heathrow next week.

Clarine:
My people, people they check accounts at point of entry be wise to. They just released my brother and wife after 7 interviews and detained for over 12 hours. Be wise. Especially couple. No jokes oo. I was devastated .just are since that. Good thing my mum stood her ground and stood as their guarantor. Prepare to.

Please can you throw more light on this:

Which Airline did they use;
How were the questions asked;
How did they get out of it?

This argument is a yearly thing here, those who are planning to use untouchable loan to get a visa then come here with little or no money will get angry as they are doing now but you know what? Since 2009 when this thread started i'm yet to see any one of them come back here to say they have succeeded in studying and working to pay school fees, no jack has done that, soon one will open a thread to cry how the UK take your money and you get no job, they are racist bla bla bla.

All this fighting talk ends when they get to the UK and face reality, then they start looking for ways to stay back, claim to be gay, suddenly God has called them to become a pastor, marry their granny age mate here to stay, sham marriage etc.

When you pay thousands to the school and did not come with the money to survive here then you are not smart or intelligent

Honestly, there is no one size fits all. I strongly believe that what works for Mr A might not work for Mr B. Just know what works for you and you will be fine. The general truth is that Masters in the UK is quite expensive and also is considered a full time job. There is a lot of reading and researching to the done, and that their plagiarism software will frustrate anyone.

I remember when i started discussing this waka with a sibling who has been living in the UK for more than 10years, the greatest fear was "how will you complete your fees?" This is someone living in that system so there was no need to argue. It is not easy working and studying and that's simple. Let no one deceive you. Have you asked anyone living in the UK to borrow you £3k before, when they said they dont have do you think they are lying? We are talking of people who have full right to work oh, not to talk of you, who has just 20hr/week. Lets keep deceiving ourselves. Seeing is believing las las. But na the story we hear we know.I intend to pay 50% of my fees before leaving (the fees which is due next month self), just so as to have a soft landing. It is the school fees balance that is creating that depression and confusion. School never send you mail sha, e go be like say you thief their money. UK universities dont joke with that tuition, abeg no use am play with them. Lemme burst your bubble here, when you default they will yank you off the school network and simply contact Home Office / UKVI. There are so many people who started the Masters but coudnt complete it. Do not forget your POF says that you are super rich.

I know many cant afford it, but just know that it wont be easy for at least the first few months especially when first deposit is due. And please do away with any Nigerian mentality, it just wont work. We are going to face a new system and a new culture. One output will be an input to the next, if you miss one, it will take you a long time to correct it.

So many people didnt even research about the school they are going to, nor the course they are choosing, they simply chose the one that will easily give CAS, not in London with cheap tuition, i bet you some didn't read the course content, nor modules. That is where the problem starts from, you will struggle from the beginning to the end and then come here to tell us that the educational system is hard. Oga you are the idiot(no offense). You think this people will give you their certificate for you to come and embarrass them later. Mtchew. In the few online courses that i have joined, there were some students for resits and yes, they paid for those courses again. Some are going for something entirely different from their first degree, they never for one day researched the new degree; well they are Nigerians and they will find a way around it, good luck.

I know some just wan japa (who school help). I totally get it, but please remember that these guys have a system and they review their immigration laws every now and then. The best you can do for your self and the next generation going is to at least finish that course, try even if its hard please do. With a UK degree, they themselves will give you that respect. Plus your chances of trying other European countries are high. Lets not make life hard for the next set, they will simply suffer for the consequences. Do you you know that some countries dont need POF for their Masters, i bet our forerunners don go shit for church and we are suffering it now, who knows what rules we ourselves will make them put.

The cost of living in the UK is high, they simply have a system that works. Abeg no carry that useless HUSTLING MENTALITY go there, if you are that good at it why didnt you make it here. I hate when people have that mindset they can beat the system. It pisses me off when people argue it even in public. We keep rubbing our name and country in the mud thinking that we are smart, where has it gotten us to. You will suffer for everything because you are black/Nigerian. They will single you out and give you the most inhumane treatment simply because someone from your country beat their system the last time. Oga just get out.

Abeg try and have a least money to cater for 3 months, na you need and not anyone. Na you go suffer am if things so south. Do you know when the pressure comes; you just land, you never settle, you never see the plenty jobs self and then boom, your first deposit is due. You will be in between rent and school fees. E no easy abeg.

With discipline and a strong work/life balance, you will survive. There are 24hrs in a day, if you divide it well and follow it strictly, you will succeed. That 2 years PSW is the koko oh, do whatever you can to get it, if you loose na you loose oh, plus the money you don waste. Lets not talk about the things people do to retain their stay, that will be topic for another day.

My two cents.

Callmed:
Yes...if you book through an agent e.g wakanow

If i want to book straight at BA website nko?

Abeg, can i pay for British Airways with naira card?

Good day House,

Please what is the cheapest flight now to UK, also considering all these Amber list this, Red list that.

Which one is easier and with no much stories?

Am looking at roughly in a weeks time.

Abiseundun:
2 days ago, biometric was 13th of September. Priority

My collection mail just dropped.

But am going on Monday sha. I already know the content

Jaylo79:


Just came back from there. My passport is not ready, so that’s till next week.

Wow, thanks for the heads up. No need to that stress.

Abiseundun:
Collection mail don drop…..testimony loading

Did you get the BRP mail thingy and when?

Ebalafaa:
Good Morning.

Please can I still succeed in doing Walk In at VI with my daugher if I get there for 11am? I paid for super priority but my appointment is not till Monday morning and I need to do my biometrics today because I am pressed for time.

Don't get me wrong , there is no difference between today and Monday, tomorrow self is public holiday. Believe you me you dont want that stress, plus you are carrying a baby. Just chill and go on Monday.

obisdupsy:


I was at TLS for collection today, when I got tired and frustrated, I entered write my name for collection when it got to my turn they checked their system and said not ready, dispatched shortly. I had to leave. I am tired

Did you receive the BRP mail thingy?

whyteLayorn1:

Still at DMC

Same here

whyteLayorn1:
HELLO GURUS IN THE HOUSE PLEASE I JUST GOT THIS EMAIL
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT IT MEANS DOES IT MEANS MY VISA IS APPROVED ?? I’M CONFUSED
THANKS

Guy,

On a second thought. Can you go to TLS and ask for your passport, maybe na them dey delay like this.

Try tomorrow and feel free to post here so i can try on Friday.

whyteLayorn1:
HELLO GURUS IN THE HOUSE PLEASE I JUST GOT THIS EMAIL
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT IT MEANS DOES IT MEANS MY VISA IS APPROVED ?? I’M CONFUSED
THANKS

I got it too.

Lets go and pack our bags biko. No need to worry. Finally it ended in praise. Its just the embassy that is delaying because of the unprecedented volume of requests they have received at this time. There is definitely a system glitch and i guess its also affecting printing visa vignette.

Honestly, what this means is that our VISA was approved a long time ago and this mails are coming so as not to bypass their SLA.

There is no way they can issue you a Biometric Residency Permit (BRP) without approving your VISA. If you read the mail well it states that you hold lawful status in the United Kingdom.

Finally, after 27 working days after biometric. To God be the Glory.

Disclaimer: Everything i have said here is from my head oh. abeg no quote me anywhere.

Good day,

Please who knows how i can contact TLS/VAC/VFS Victoria Island, i got this mail from UKVI since Saturday and up till now no mail from anyone. Is there anyone also facing this challenge. Its been over 25 working days since my biometric and the waiting is killing. Also who knows what i should expect.

OdogwuEkeke:
Hello Good Morning Patriots,

This might sound off but I think Nigerians need to learn how to do things hush - hush

Recently, there was a trend on Twitter about people gloating over leaving the country in mass.

We need to learn how to manage the information or the impression we put out there. Especially the dynamics of your leaving, cos before you know it, the authorities are aware of the whole thing and could generalize blocking road for others coming. This has happened in the US and is currently happening in Germany and some other countries.

No dey put the gimmicks online abeg.

My dear, the thing really got me worried. we Nigerians are fond of blowing up any bridge we cross. My colleague at Uni of Hull has been pepperising us with pictures and all (not hating) but the twitter thing is just not necessary.

One thing i know for sure is that UK waka wont be this easy next year.

ayrton03:
No, I'm not..please send the link if you have it.

Do you have an offer?

onyeebekee:

Pls can someone be added to the greeenwish whatsapp group pls.. Thanks

You need to have at least an offer....

Jaylo79:


Are decision letters being sent my mails now??

My dear, i dont know oh.

Good day,

I got this email from UKVI last Friday and up till now , no mail from both UKVI and TLS, does it mean that my application is successful. Is there any cause for alarm?

onyiibest8:

One thing i have realized about UK is once you say the truth and can defend it, there is nothing to worry about.

I just encourage everyone to do the right thing. It might be delayed but it will surely come.

Olab92:
Hello house, my family and I did biometric yesterday super priority, I got my collection email already but my husband and my son’s collection email hasn’t been sent. Does it happen like that, I thought all the emails are supposed to come together. Please gurus in the house… reply me

Oh boy see level, anyways, sometimes it comes differently. But no need to panic. They will all come.

justwise:


If your application is genuine then you got nothing to worry about. Even if you are going to stay with someone you still need to convince them that your maintenance money will be available to you in the UK.

I guess their attention will be on your interview answers and financial requirement.

Thanks Dear, as for the interview answers, i think i did my best and and for financial requirement, i have a feeling they contacted my bank before the second interview.

Its well anyways. I just want to get a response as soon as possible so that i get over with all these once and for all.

The tension and anxiety is too much.

Punkydude:
Good day House,

Please i really want to find out something, if you indicate that you know someone and that you are going to stay with them, is it a red flag?

Is there anyone, who said they were going to stay with a sibling during interview and still got the Visa, cuz am not understanding again. From one interview to another.....shuo.

Am tired abeg.

@Justwise, and other gurus in the house, what could be happening here?

Yemzzyy:


How did your second interview go?

The guy called, as soon as i picked, the call dropped. He called back, After introducing himself, the line started breaking, i told him i can barely hear him, which he also confirmed that he is having connectivity issues. I told him to cut and call back and that was the end
