Hello guys! I applied for form a with first bank (marina branch) for like 10days now. And it is even yet to be approved (that’s, they have not even checked the documents yet). Is this the normal process? And how can I hasten this checked?

When I called the customer rep, they claimed it might take to two weeks for the documents to be checked and I will be debited 5k by then.

Urgent response please ��

Chisimdili:
Providus platinum card (NAIRA) can pay for visa fee and NHS. You have access to $3000 per month. I used it to pay for my own and my family. I exhausted the 3k dollars and had to complete the payment with my friend’s card.

Please can you state the documents you submitted for your unmarried partner?

Ladybit:
House pls.

I recently discovered my financial statement is short of 1day.

Printed from 26th of April to 23rd of May.

Applied 23rd of May, same day as when it was printed.

Iam really concern!!

Money is still in the account.

I also received nsf yesterday but nothing was asked.

Invoice in this case should be a pdf document showing your school's bank acct details plus additional payment instructions.

Lontrra:
I'm filling the Form A now. If I upload my offer letter in the place required for invoice (given that I'm paying my deposit, so no invoice yet), hope my application won't be rejected?
Keele university

They won't request it anymore since, it is not stated in the conditions of the offer

Zimzee:
Hello house, my friend applied to Robert Gordon university Scotland, he couldn't get his transcript because of the on going strike, he only applied using his degree certificate and other documents.
He has gotten a conditional offer to pay tuition deposit and Rewrite personal statement but nothing was mentioned about the transcript.
Should he go ahead and fufill the conditions.
Will they still ask for transcript afterwards since they didn't mention it as part of the conditions of the offer.

Please any RGU should please kindly assist.

I thought as much. wanted to be sure. Thank you!

Bourne007:
Being the main applicant and a dependant are completely different processes

Thank you for the prompt response.

Also what are processes of making a relative your legal guardian? Is it straightforward in Nigeria and How may UKVI verify this?

duchess90:
Hello,

You can get married anytime and your dependant can apply anytime

It shouldn't be a concern

Cheers

What about in the instance whereby during your CAS request, you didn't specify you had a dependent (because you are not married yet). after you get married later, will your dependent be able to apply?

is this possible?

duchess90:
Hello

The implications are endless but let me give you one example as a scenario.

You hide your visa refusal for instance from your Uni and pay your deposit say £5000

Your Uni request and submit your CAS details to UKVI, part of the questions is on refusal and your UNI responds No.

You get your CAS and submit your visa application and then declare your refusal so you say Yes

The visa officer spots this and refuses your visa amongst other things, you go back to the Uni and request refund do you think they should refund your deposit?

Declaring your refusal paints a clear picture of your travel/immigration history and ensures the details they have on their end matches yours.It naturally shouldn't affect their decision to grant you admission unless on severe cases for instance ban.

And yes this scenario has happened before.

Cheers

Civil engineers in Uk.
I have question, what the advantages of completing a MSc in civil engineering in uk, with a good grade?

Will it be easier to get graduate jobs, or it doesn’t matter at all.

Who can also share experiences of church networking and networking with other Nigerians to get good jobs in uk related to one’s discipline. How effective is it?
Thank you

I'll give you my opinion.
It all falls within the concept of immigrants to the UK learning to manage their expectations.

In most of these fields of endeavour where experience far outweighs the number of printed and logo-ed pieces of paper one has, a masters degree should be seen as basically as a ticket to enter the UK job market from Nigeria and start looking and not an automatic ticket to a) consideration for employment in the first place; and b) securing such employment.

It should also be noted that universities are for-profit entities, and that's why they set up all these courses to attract business (as an aside, the UK government is attempting to stop universities from offering so-called Mickey Mouse degrees at undergraduate level which are essentially useless in the workplace and trying to get them to focus on core courses and their related offshoots). Most of all these courses are really empty crap, either repeating things taught at undergraduate level or inserting stuff only marginally relevant or coming up with whole new ideas or concepts which are of no bearing whatsoever to the real world. Even the average masters degree in my own field of HR should really be compressed into a 3 month professional course, with all the rubbish performance management and employee resourcing and outsourcing stuff tossed out. Essentially, one learns on the job.

The Mickey Mouse masters degrees with "international" or "global" are a particular favourite. I've seen quite a few of the proud holders of masters degrees in "international human resources management" and one feels like telling them MNCs are unfortunately unlikely to be much interested, and that the average chap who left school with a few A levels a few years ago and has been functioning as a talent acquisition partner since then, is more likely to be considered for any intra-company openings that come up outside the UK than someone just landing with a brand-new MSc in so-called IHRM, for instance.

This brings a lot of new perspective. And thank you.
What about in my case that I have 1-2 years construction experience, plus MSc in UK. What are the chances of getting a good construction job after school?

kode12:


Why not go ahead into an MSc. in Civil engineering. All these generic project management degrees are not worth the paper they're issued on without accompanying work experience in the sector you're applying to and in the UK.

I would look into this, thank you. I would also appreciate recommendations on universities to apply to below 13k pounds ideally

TheGuyFromHR:


The bolded is correct, but an MSc in Civil Engineering is just as worthless in the job market.

MSc in civil engineering is worthless in the Uk job market? Do you really think so?

Hello guys. Please I need some advice.
I’m a civil engineering graduate with 1-2years experience in Nigeria. I recently got an admission to University of Salford to study Masters in project management in construction.

So I have a couple of questions.
1. Is project management MSc really useful for post graduate work search?
2. If it is not useful, what alternative MSc degrees can you look into?
3. How is the job market like for Graduate civil engineers in Uk, especially Manchester, how easy is it to get a job that aligns with my discipline?
4. What other tips would I need to succeed in uk as an engineering graduate and surviving in Salford.

Thank you everyone as I anticipate your response.
