Just got my visa today.Thanks to u guys..av bin a silent reader for d past yr and learnt a lot reading on in depth information from @justwise and co.

blessediva:
I just checked my mail now and got a message today saying that they have made a decision on the application and that I wld b receiving my documents and decision in a few days at the application center where I submitted.


So fingers crossed

sassybee:


Hello house, @Justwise I got the visa . I didnt use a sponsor, i just attached my statements and hotel booking. I explained in the additional information box that i was going for my graduation and i would be sponsoring myself. It was just God's grace. Im so glad. Thank you for your help as usual

happyday:


If you can score over 330 in your first attempt, it's very hard to do. But if you can, you've just jump-started your chances.

Now, you need to get close to lecturers in your department. Who have research projects going on, and wouldn't mind your help.

This will do things for you; help you understand the research direction in Economics, and give you likely graduate research ideas; and also help you get glowing hot recommendation letters, when you'd need them for your applications.

May the source of your wisdom never runs dry..Thanks alot

Good job!

The biometrics and documents submission was done since on the 17th of June at TLS VI.

Where and when did u apply?

lobito007:

Yeah, kansas is good. However, you should aim for even higher-ranking schools. With a tight GRE score of say, 330, which I think you can achieve, considering that you have started studying already ahead of next june, you can dare to apply to harvard, yale and stanford.

blessediva:
I would also like to know the success rate of visa for kids.

quote author=blessediva post=47166530]Good afternoon all, please i need ur advice. I applied for the uk visa for my kids at the VI center. I applied on the 17th of last month.I already have my visa before the application which I made a photocopy of and attached to the application. I applied on their behalf that I wanted to take them for summer holidays.

I feel it's taking too long as price of tickets are going up and I don't want to risk getting the tickets before the visa is out.

freshboi34:


Let me answer for him
He might have converted his cgpa, its no news, we now have student graduating with a 5.00 this days with score more than 85 in all their courses.

Well, for the guy i wish you luck! thats really an impressive gpa, you just need to make your gre score conform with that and a good S.O.P mehn you good to go!, meanwhile i have 3.72

tunderule2016:
I was a bit confused the way you posted.. You need the person to send you contract of rent, ok? Make sure letter from the person accommodating u include dates or period they intend to accommodate u ... try making those dates tally to them u intend to travel back to nigeria. Be Wise!!! bruv and goodluck

tunderule2016:
Ok Inec certificate is great... More also, properties, assets, shares in your name can stand as strong ties...
well i dont think there is more you can show anymore ... just make sure he states int he sponsor letter the connection between you too and he is taking full responsibility of your sponsorship over there.

Good luck and God speed...

tunderule2016:

Thanks bro,
But my uncle has bo share certificate or properties in my name ooh,Am i fine?

I have booked appointment for Monday 27 for V.I , And I stated dat intended to 11 july..Coz the summer class starts 18 of July, I hope my visa be out before then,or what do u think?

One more thing, the british citizen i will be staying with for the period of 3 weeks only sent data page of british passport, utilities bill, letter stating he will be accomodating me(letter of sponsor) and bank statement from March to April, IS IT OK,my boss??

tunderule2016:
Make sure he writes a sponsor letter.. it will be nice if u can make him write the letter on a letter headed paper.
pay slip, bank statement, Copy of the sponsors ID or passport...

it will not be a bad idea if he can include employment document....to confirm is salary and Confirming the sponsors ability to sponsor you..

tunderule2016:
Firstly, u can apply from Nigeria as it is your country of nationality. You do not need put a copy of refusal. Just in the additional informational box; explain about your situation and a bit of why you applying from nigeria. Not too wordy but sentences.

Also, include in there in the additional information box how the course you are going for will make u grow (continuity important)...
Most importantly as i mentioned before make sure there is a connection between u and your sponsor... you could see one of the reasons they refused u was evidence of legal guardian.

worry359:

It will do no harm and shows honest intent.

nairacountry:


Just put your trust in him/her and be sure s/he stated all facts straight.
I can only wish you the best in your application

worry359:

On this issue, they will have your name and details on computer. We heard from someone this week who was banned for ten years. Reason was fraud, not declaring previous rejection.

tunderule2016:
I really do not remember your reason of rejection before but i will reckon u let them know you were refused and make sure you show strong connection between u and your uncle . Have u got admission into the school here in london? please try and confirm the school u r coming to in london is a geninue school; cos there are so many bogus schools here in uk extorting foreign students.

More docus,

1 Uncle sponsor letter
2 accommodation plans in uk
3 School fee payment

Cant think of anything right now.... Good luck...

donxab:

I just created a whatsapp group for our GRE "Filial generation" you can all indicate interested to be add to the whatsapp group!
Let's go there!
Thanks

ponpon:
Bless up sirRiddy.

Meanwhile i would like to host #RcSaturday for those who are yet to take the test

1. Get a reading habit

2. Read standard materials (aldaily.com , newyorker, new York times, economist and above all Wikipedia.com) on Wikipedia when you practice and see a frequent topic eg women rights, astronomy, international trade, book criticism, industrial revolution, and this black American guy that died in Ghana that fought for blacks (I can't remember his name now) etc... Read anything that comes to mind fully.

3. When you read try to form gre questions to what you read and give a specific answer to it.

4. Most RCs have patterns, main idea, scope and purpose and supports... E.g nairaland.com is for information (main idea), nairaland.com is easily accessible and meets required needs (scope), there is a thread that helps with better gre performance (purpose), SirRiddy got high scores using nairaland.com...

Imagine this question what is the primary purpose of following the gre thread

1. Like sirRiddy, to help people get high scores
2. To show that nairaland.com is also as accessible like cnn.com
3. To improve the standard of gre test takers
4. To help gre test takers achieve better scores
5. To help in sharing information amongst recent gre takers


To be contd in a bit bosses

Done

What If I attached a different sponsor like my aunty who has the same surname as mine nko??
Am I good to go??

That is not a problem.

Since your uncle's name is in the system as your legal guardian you may have to get that legalised and get the paper for future use.

askari01:


Lol... Thanks Boss, Don't worry i won't apply... God Bless
Apply ASAP, Infact as quickly as possible. There is nothing bad in trying. You really have a stronger ties.

justwise:



He can put it in one document or separate it doesn't really matter.

In terms of bank statement and money that comes into it...he can only explain that in writing and present his account as it is...

Personally I think you need take a break from this for now...he is not earning that much to spend on your 'not-so-important-trip'.

Get your documents in order for future application but if you insist then my wishes to you.

ifyalways:
Someone actually wanted to go study Greek in UK? An undergraduate of Economics?

Imo, re-applying too soon with a change of course means one thing : you simply wants to get to UK at any cost, not good as it reeks of desperation.

Finish your studies and if you must go to UK, apply as a tourist or a short course related to your course of study.

justwise:


Yes boss @ JustWise



Was he the person that sponsored your first application that was refused?
