Hello house... I will be graduating this year from one thing to another federal university of education in Nigeria and I want to go for my masters in UK by January next year. I like preparing before hand. Now my question is, I don't think my certificate will be ready by then but I am sure students transcript and statement of result will be ready by then, will I be able to get admission and will it affect my visa application? Cause I read through here n saw where someone @sistercaro was rejected visa cause they think her transcript is fake. I'm scared already. Gurus pls help.

If a school requests for your Certificate and you don’t have it yet, then wait.

winzy:
Good day, fam.
Please am devastated and frustrated right now... I really need help.

I just went to my secondary school to collect my Wace certificate, but the date of birth on it is wrong and different from the one on other documents.

And will I have to submit my WACE CERTIFICATE when going for biometrics?

What will I do as I look forward to September.
Pleaseeee

Are you 100% Sure that WACE [sic] was the one that made the mistake?

Or you did some ‘panel beating’ on your DOB but the WAEC past has arrived to haunt you?

acevic:
What is the stand of ukvi on original certificates that are laminated.?

Are they acceptable?

If you haven’t laminated them yet, please don do it.
If you laminated already, don’t kee yasef. Use am like dat.

@ Ralphjean, we haven't taken any additional steps since we were refused tier 4 visa on the grounds that the fund was in my account instead of my wife's account.But am willing to stop my own application so she can apply as the main applicant while i apply as the dependent and have all the fund transfered to her account as the main applicant if its the best solution at the moment.Or i can allow her apply alone for the tier 4 visa and apply immediately if she gets the tier 4 visa if my refusal history will be a problem.What do you think please

If I would suggest, it will be based of the ‘unstated’ motive.
You are not as interested in the MRES as you are in ‘zooming off from Naija’.

Having said that, I would transfer all the funds into wifey’s account. She will apply for a T4 Visa.
The day she gets her visa, I would re-transfer the funds into my own account. Then apply for T4 dependant 29 days later.

Your initial submission would suggest that your wife will easily ‘pass’ the ‘credibility’ test more than you.

Infact, if I am an ECO, I will think 10x before granting you a T4 student visa.

Your wife has a ‘cleaner’ record and her route seem easier...

Good morning

iche123:
Good day everyone especially justwise for all your good works.I recently came to be aware of this group and have read and gained alot from hundreds of pages in this forum from highly respected professionals. Thanks ones again for all your good works.i need your advise please.I actually schooled in the UK for my MSC Marketing from January 2013 to 2014 and actually came back December 2014.I have applied for visiting visa on September 2017 but was refused because the VO observed that there was inconsistent deposits in my account.Then my wife got admission to study Msc and i applied together with her as her dependent on December 2017 but the VO rightly refused us because we wrongly left the fund (balance of tuition fee and maintenance) in my account instead of my wife's account as the main applicant.I applied again for visitors visa around October 2018 but it was also refused because the VO refered to my previous refusals and also pointed that there was not enough transactions in my account statement and also i did not present any assets i have in Nigeria.Now i got admission for a master by research programme (MRES) on Business Management for September session,my question is,will my previous refusals be a challenge for this new application and two, do i meet the progression criteria having studied in UK previously on MSC marketing.I actually want to progress to a Phd programme with the help of this programme.Thanks all and hope you will do justice to my present challenge.

Did you transfer the money to wifey’s account and she got the T4 Visa afterwards?

slinkyibk:
Good morning house, am a silent observer of the thread and I must say I have learnt a whole lot from the wealth of experience of the gurus in the house. I will be relocating to Poole, Dorset in a few weeks can anyone give me a review of what the place is like? I learnt it's a white dominated place are there Nigerians there by chance, African shops where I can get Nigerian foods? Thanks in anticipation.

It’s not a ‘white dominated place’.
It’s in the UK.
The UK is White Man’s Land.

evenda:
hey guys, am here for your advice


can anyone tell me what jobs are quicker/easier to get in uk -based in Stoke-on-Trent . we don't want any too much sitting around. the visa expenses won't pay itself
Hubby has experience in building construction but seems like that is going to be irrelevant here when he arrives.
other quick jobs to get/where to visit once he arrives outside care homes

thanks

Maybe you are not really, really, really looking for quick jobs.

acevic:
I know thanks. My advice to anyone planning to use FCMB is to have a rethink. I've never encountered such a horrible service in my entire life. They present you a black and white printed statement of Account. No letterhead paper. You email them to verify a statement of Account issued at one of their branches, it becomes a Herculean task. 9 working days and still counting

I have used FCMB statements to apply for UK visa 3 times in the past. Black and white does NOT matter at all.

umarwy:
Abeg drop tips.

Should I DM

Tips highly needed.

Abi Mek I DM/PM too?

Lexusgs430:
You have to be systematic in your search. Don't buy from a dealer, buy directly from the owner/associates...... Dealers would prepare the car, fix any fixables and some would even offer warranty + capital tie down interest (all this comes at a price).....


Lots of bereaved kids selling dads/mums car, at giveaway prices......

In my banger buying days, buying a cheap car was like a degree course...........

Please I wan buy first used car at <1,000 pounds. If anyone knows someone who knows someone who is selling a cutie (like Davechapelle own that he ‘dashed’ dem for 600).

Lexusgs430:
Just check ebay, gumtree, preloved etc etc..... Plenty bangers available..........

Thanks Lexus430.
But imagine a car sold by Davechapelle for £600 being advertised on Autotrader for £2000
Makes me think those eBay, Gumtree, preloved websites etc may have overpriced cars.

Please, any Nairalander who wishes to sell at sub-1000 just like Davechapelle did should hit me up.

Hope Gap in education of like 12years is not an issue when applying for a Visa for postgraduate study..Any idea?Thanks

If the gap in Education was full of fantastic work experience, it’s a plus sef...

Sold my 10month old used IS200 for a newer car @ £600 and its back on autotrader for £2,450. I bought it for £2,400 last April. That's what i call packaging

Hmmmmmm.....
Me that even downloaded the Autotrader app to be looking for a little beginner car of less than 1grand oh.


Please if anyone on this forum is thinking of selling something as cute as this at sub-1000 grand amounts holla at me.

I’m looking to buy a cheap, nice second hand car for starters.

This might sound stupid but are PBS dependent holders allowed to school/work ?

Check your 30-day visa vignette.
Check the back of your BRP.
The information you seek MUST be boldly written there.

brideofchukky:
Does anyone know how to transfer money from a nigerian bank account to a UK bank account please? I looked at azimo and I don't think they do- a similar platform, anyone? Thanks

Short answer:
It’s extremely unlikely that that can be done.
It’s possible the other way round...£ to Naira

Andrepete:
Excuse you The above mentioned question had nothing to do with you.... U could have just read it and kept quiet... But no... U decided to spew the trash u just typed..... Please kindly go manage your anger related problems and don't transfer it to someone else............. I asked a simple question.. The stuff was posted on the student portal, no webform for inquiries, furthermore I was asked for my passport as a different document on its own..... So I was or still am confused regarding the exact visa and immigration documents they requested for..... I asked here hoping someone might have encountered something like this and be kind enough to advice me and not act the way you just did..... Please don't try that again... Thank you good sire

You asked the right question in the wrong forum.
You said you were told. The best place for you to get the best answer should be the person(s) who told you.
Nairaland forum does not know the answer to all questions.

Andrepete:
Hello fam,
I am new here

I was offered an conditional admission for masters program starting September in the Middlesex university . The campus is at Hendon . I was told to pay €1000 as deposit before they issue me CAS number. Please, gurus in the house, [b]I was told [/b]to upload visa and immigration documents (I don't know which exact document they need o) please does anyone know the exact documents??. I don't really understand. Can someone help me elaborate more on this. And secondly, is the University environments okay generally in terms of working while studying.

You were told.
You have/had the opportunity to ask the person(s) who told you.
You refused to ask them.
You come to Nairaland to ask people who may not know exactly what YOUR school requires
...and you want to go for a MASTERS...,

wonlasewonimi:
Curve is a life saver. I use it in Costco to pay for stuff before I got AMEX card. The only downside is they dont support amex(I'd have racked up my avios points) and you lose your section 75 protection.

Please tell me more about Curve Card.
I have it, but have never really used it, like that. You mean I can put up my Credit card from another company on Curve?

Oluwanifemi34:

mim1031:
This is bad news�� How much more do they have to collect to finish my meagre pay

Just an innocent question.
What type of visa do you hold?
If you hold a T2 Visa, you can’t justifiably call your pay “meagre” because you must have attained a certain threshold to be eligible for that visa category.

Mofpearl:
It is rated as a one of the top 10 universities in the world and was recommended to me by a research specialist. But I know sometimes the reality on ground might be different. The few reviews I read were positive and I am seeking more reviews, specifically from Nigerians. Can you explain why the university no make am?

Have you heard the word SACARSM before?

kuru:
Hello House,
I'm planning to apply for a tier 4 visa with my family, wife & 2 children. However when the passport for my 2nd son was done there was a mistake in the surname, my wife added his middle name to the surname thus making the surname of both children different, and I just discovered it now. Though I have their birth certificates, I'm just wondering if it is likely to cause any issues with visa application and in future. I contacted someone in customs and they are demanding N120k to make the corrections which is too much for me. I would appreciate any info if this is likely to cause problems.
Thanks in anticipation for your replies

CUSTOMS
Wetin concern Agbero with Overload?

justwise:
My minimum standard is that you can't leave a 2months old baby to travel abroad for studies and if you sees that as high standard then we are talking about child neglect here.

No matter what Standard is used for measurement. Infact, even if there is no standard. Let’s call a spade a spade. It is inhuman and irresponsible for a parent to leave a 2-month old baby (nay, NEONATE) to go hustle.
It’s not fair on the little one.

Shawtykel:
Please I really need to know if there are implications to this of not taking my kids @ the moment?
What possible best reasons do I have to give for not taking my kids along?
Any case like mine ever?

Like I previously said hubby is on tier 4 visa for one year and I really need to hustle to support him while hoping he gets a switch to tier 2 before his one year elapses or I get tier 2 while in UK then come for our kids.
Thanks a lot

My son was born December 2014
I came to the UK on a T4 Visa in November 2016.
My wife joined me in June 2017 (left the 3year old son with grandma).
Wife got a job an we saved enough to have the maintenance money for a dependant.
Applied for Son in January 2018.

Summary:
Me, wife, son have been here. We are gathering money now to apply for daughter (aged 10).

At no point did anyone ever ask why we were leaving the children.


But ...wait a minute. Did I read that your hubby’s T4 Visa is for only 1 year?

Talking about Moving House
Dear Good People on this thread.
Please what is the best way to move in this country?
We need to move from London to Peterborough.
We are a fairly small family. Husband, wife and a 4 year old child.

Any practical advice please?

damidam:
Good morning everyone,pls i want to know if there are affordable schools in the UK where i can enroll for masters degree program in accounting. If there is/are i need their names for further research and enquiries.

Thank you

https://www.google.com

Type the following in the search bar:
“Affordable schools for Masters in Accounting in the UK”

You will see names of plenty schools.

Thank you for allowing me be of help to you. God bless me.

Another Briton with a Nigerian-sounding name embarrasses us.

Daminovic:
oh!! That's very bad ooo. I understand better sire but am not like that though it will be very difficult convinced based on my level of anonymity but since i don't have any devilish ideas ,have told you b4 i won't have resorted to this assuming the country postal services is effective. But this is just a pin which you can see online the way it looks like. But i understood your points however i will be able beat my chest that am not like others and you wont regret it either if willing to help. thanks a lot for your responses.

But there are people who have received their PIN verification in Nigeria. I think...

I think you may have given the wrong advise.

You mean upon expiration of Tier-4 Student Visa, the person can just join the army?
Sounds to good to be true...
But, what do I know sef?
