I am so grateful to everybody who contributed to my success story, so many people I am currently chatting with on whatsapp. God bless you all. See you all in Birmingham.

Also, my validity date starts from 8.5.2021.

It is possible for me to fund another acct for my wife so we can travel together since I still have time, will it affect my own travelling??

Your advise needed @justwise

Thank you so much, God bless you immensely.

University of Sunderland London Campus

oppsonn:
Which school?

Good morning my people, Please i just got my CAS letter. The Total school fees amount and the deposit I made was stated correctly but I was thinking they should put the net balance but it was not stated. Is it okay as it is or I should call the attention of the School to this?

Congratulations

Please is there anyone who is attending university of Sunderland or has gotten admission from there
Please how much of your tuition did the school ask you to pay before you were issued CAS?
Please I look forward to your replies

In terms of rate, I may not know the cheapest Bank, but I think you should be more concern about which of them process the Form A faster. I used Keystone Bank last week and my form A was processed under 5 working days which is fantastic, Zenith Bank delayed my form for Almost a month before I decided to try another Bank.
I would advice you use Keystone Bank,.

Temitopepremium:
Good morning to you all in the house! I need your candid advise or suggestion please. I'm about to pay my school fees of £6000 using form A by tomorrow so have been contemplating on which bank to use with the best exchange rate. My bank is gtbank but the exchange rate as at yesterday was on the high side, Wema bank refused to disclose theirs and I have someone in Zenith HQ that could help to make it faster but depend on cbn current exchange rate. Please among these three banks which one is the best in terms of rate. Thanks

Everything was done there.
We would have collected it same day but we had issue with my Children's NIN so we had to resolve that first.
Capturing and every other thing has been done.

HollyMadison:
Did you start the process online or did you do everything at festac?
Did you het it same day?

I quite agree with you on been gentle and calm during the interview but the issue is, we are all human and the interview nervousness will make one to stammer at times.
My school pre CAS interview was really drilling and after passing the interview, I just concluded that they are trying to guide the students in preparing for the real Embassy interview if their would be any at all.
Most of your points are valid.

OmamedeRex:
Tips to pass credibility interview because I had mine.
1. Make sure you don't let feel u have tie with country you are going. If asked, don't admit you have relatives in that country.
2. Make sure tou try to let the interviewer see how u could come back to Nigeria and make use of your studies. Find away to take their mind off thinking you want to work in the there after studies. Don't even say u will further to your studies there after u finish.
Make them feel u are strictly going to stay at the school accommodation or recommended accommodation. Research if the school has accommodation or the accommodation is the one the school recommend for students. Know the address and cost and different option they have.
3. Don't ever say or show interest in football if u are mistakenly asked. I knew someone who was taking through that path
4. Make sure you research your course. Know what the course is all about and make sure you relate it to what you want to use it for back home.
5. Know your school ranking. Awards and so on and so forth
6. If you have study gap, tell them u were working and make sure your job line relates to the course u are going for. Form something. Connect the course to your work experience.


The main idea of the interview is psychological to test you and find out if u have any plans to not return back to Nigeria. So u must show how relevant your course is to u in developing yourself back home.
Talk slowly with confidence. They can read your voice and the way you respond to questions.

If you need more information just let me know.

Get reference letter from your undergraduate university if they request for Academic reference and Professional reference from your place of work if that is what they request for.
Personal Statement is like your intent, stating why you choose UK, why the university, why the course, your future career plan etc.

whytey:
Please I was told to upload this following document by a school in UK

Personal Statement
Referee's Statement

How can I get this documents?

Thanks

Go to festact town.

HollyMadison:
Please where can I get international passport? I need to renew and there’s no booklet in Lagos

Go to festac, I still used festac last week.

FieryJoe:
Go to Abeokuta

Abeokuta sha? I doubt it.
I needed to renew my children passport in Abeokuta last week but I was told that collection period is not guarantee, may be average of one month or two, meanwhile I do collect passport same day in Abeokuta before.
I had to take them to Lagos to renew it.

FieryJoe:
Go to Abeokuta

Honestly, it is.

Ibm08:
I wonder too ooo

This is really cheating, after paying for priority, it all came out as standard

Congratulations.

I wonder why some priority application take this long.

Got a not straightforward mail on 11/02/2021
Got an interview request mail on 16/02/2021 to take place on 18/02/2021
Interviewer called 4mins before time advised. The interview, from what I have been reading on this thread, seems to be the shortest because it lasted for just 13mins 10secs.
Then the anxiety began, I will refresh the tracker like 10times an hour every day.
Got another not straightforward message on 19/02/2021. Hmmmmm, my heartbeat increased.
When anxiety no let me rest, I called UKVI on Wednesday 24/02/2021 and was told decision has not been made yet.
Then on Friday 26/02/2021, during my regular tracker refreshing, I saw application transferred to VAC @10:54am (Screenshot it immediately…as if they will reverse it…LOL). Decision and collection mail came in 11:19am.
DHL delivered on 01/03/2021 with my Visa smiling at me. Visa has been issued since 24th Feb.
1 UK visit visa refusal declared.
What God cannot do does not exist!!!
For all those waiting for your VISA, it will surely come.
This thread is loaded with wonderful people, I have learnt a lot from questions and answers provided, I have got help for TB date swap, I have silently and dutifully followed Part 4 and 5 page by page and all I can say is WELL DONE everyone.

Thank you so much.

Good morning all. Please for those that have done the TB test, how did you book your appointment?
Was it via phone call or email?
I have been calling the Lagos center but no response.
How do I go about it please?

Omg! Upon all the wahala, why fake covid test now?

Futureukstudent:
If you are travelling soon, please it is better you do real covid test than fake a result o..make they no strike your visa

Either way is fine, just make sure you meet the financial requirement by having your dependants maintenance allowance in addition with yours and your school fees balance if you want to apply together.

hasniemohaz:
Hello fellow Nigerians, please advise me. I'm applying for uk masters degree for myself and I want my wife and two kids to follow me. Should I apply for their visas at the same time with mine or I should go first. Please kindly advise.
