Pls dis simcard was given us during biometrics appointment in Abuja how do we use it & activate it, when can it be used.

When you land at any airport in the UK just put the SIM in your phone and wait for some minutes to self-activate that's all. You can start calling, texting and making use of the data on it.

The issue now is that my wife just did her capturing for her passport her passport is not yet out, can I go ahead and apply for just my visa or i should wait until my wife passport is out then we apply for VISA together. kindly advise thank you


As the main applicant you can go ahead and apply for your visa and later apply for your dependants.

In the spirit of giving back.

I got here through Cotonou (anybody saying Cotonou is over hyped is not worth engaging in an argument with, it's the best decision I've made recently especially in terms of traveling, no regrets)

Flew Air Maroc for half the price I saw in both Lagos and Abuja, had one stop over in Casablanca and total flight time was 12 hours (can't be any better especially when it's not BA or Virgin)

Landed Heathrow and was interviewed by the guy at booth 34 (dude should be a Pakistani as most of them were or Indian).

Me: Good evening
Oga: Passport please (didn't reply my greeting)
Me: Hands over passport
Oga: What are you in the UK for abi where are you coming from? (can't remember which he asked first)
Me: Cotonou, Benin Republic and I'm here for work
Oga: work as what
Me: care work
Oga: Can I see your COS (same time asking for where I'll be working)
Me: handed over my COS and mentioned my employers name and city
Oga: how much did you pay?
Me: (wasn't surprised cos I expected it) I didn't pay any money except the one I used to get the requisite documents and application
Oga: do you have any family here and what and what is your daily duty as in job description
Me: I answered (the girl beside me was asked the same question almost at the same time and her voice was as loud as a microphone)
Oga: you know how to collect your brp right?
Me: yes
Stamps me in....
Dude didn't smile the whole process, lasted for about 4 minutes....

Could you please explain the process in details how you travelled through Cotonou, Benin Republic from Nigeria.

Thanks.

Hello house,

Please i need clarification on the below case:

My wife COS comes with maintenance ticked and her resumption date is 28 May 2023. She has gotten her Visa but i just want to apply for mine, please do i need to attach Bank statement or just Apply directly since the maintenance is still in the month covered?

Thanks


Please apply direct. No issues.
You don't need to show any proof of fund, so far the maintenance section was ticked yes on wife COS.
Just ensure you apply on time and do your bio-metrics before the COS expires.

How does this works, is it cheaper

You can't use Western Union Globalpay for tuition fees payment from Nigeria, but if you have someone that can pay it from UK it is faster.

Hi shakurshakur I haven’t received an offer yet. I just want to get the TB certificate ahead before getting an offer from the school.
I hope I can proceed ?

I'll suggest you wait for an unconditional offer/CAS before going for the TB test. Because it's has 6 months expiration period.

Hi Gurus, please what do I need to take along with me when going for TB test. More-so, can I make payment for my TB test on the IOM site or I can make payment when I arrive at the TB center in Lagos?

Quick response will highly be appreciated. Thanks!

You can pay directly into the IOM standard chartered Bank account. Once you have booked for the test and your appointment date is sent, the bank details will be attached to the appointment email.
Data page of your Internal passports, the main applicant offer letter to confirm it is real and phone numbers.
Note: When you are going for the test, you have to print out the appointment confirmation email, photocopy of the data page of your passport and the original copy.

Are you not paying using your local currency; naira?
What is the exchange rate on the website compare to Form A?
I’m sure there won’t be much difference except if you’re asked to pay in foreign currency.

I’m just curious though.

I paid the deposit fee with the Western Union Globalpay on their site, which you can't see their school account details but a link that will pop-up University of Greenwich to select and complete your transaction.

The payment was made through a friend in foreign currency £.

I think using Form A, requires some documents, in which school account number and invoice are required.
Where the problem lies is no account details was given on the unconditional offer and not even on their site.
