Dear Gurus in the house,

Please,help out on this issue.

I made a tuition deposit of 4k pounds, but on the confirmation offer I received from the school is stating I paid 3975 pounds, a shortfall of 25pounds.

I dont know what could have led to the shortfall.

I initiated the form A in first bank and I have my telex copy/receipt for 4k pounds, I complained there, they are surprise too.

Whoelse has experience this, and how did you resolve it.
Pls,at what rate?

SAMDEEA123:


No you cannot because they will request your admission letter,degree certificate and passport data page. It must tally with the name in the account and BVN. You can hurriedly open an account with Stanbic IBTC. The rate for today dropped to 478.77 to a pounds sterling

mimilyrics:
If it's to pay fees, you'd have to use form A, not request PTA. PTA is usually for tourist visa categories. The only way outside the official channels will be to use black market to fund your account (the BDC transfers to you; you can't use cash deposits for electronic transfers) or get someone you trust (and who's abroad or has unrestricted access to FX transactions) pay for you online while you give the person the naira equivalent.

Thanks ..

I work with a Bank in Nigeria with a monthly salary of almost 400k aside other benefits so from the eyes of friends and family, life's good. I've been so comfortable with this "perfect life" for so long until recently when some events played out at work. It then dawned on me that I've not done anything to improve myself since I got my BSc in 2011 or any professional course since I joined the Bank in 2013. A rushed attempt with CFA in December 2018 and an online MBA while working full time gave me a humbling experience. After some deep thoughts (reviewing where I started and my plan for my future career I decided that I'll resign and pursue a masters and professional course this September. Popc, Mumc and other family and friends came up with the usual gist "do you know how many people out there are with MSc and without a job? Infact they went further to visit a prayer house and the woman said they saw a vision that when I traveled to the UK, she saw my wife Suffering, became very slim and unhappy"

I have been praying for God's guidance since May when I got the unconditional offer from BU.
Yesterday during the sermon "from lockdown to leaping up by Pst EA Adeboye, he made reference to his school teacher years ago who was comfortable with his certificate and with the prestige that came with been a high school teacher. While he failed to advance, Adeboye did and became a lecturer at UniLag. Years later, teachers with just school certificate were faded out and he was caught up." He also made reference to the RCCG camp when the first hall was built, people all over thought this was the biggest in Africa "The church has arrived" but he had a plan and saw the future and wasn't deterred from what others were saying."
Suffice to say my wife I and got home happy and convinced that this should be our next step forward.

I am sharing this here because there have been so many uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic and somehow easy decisions has become extremely difficult. My advice to anyone in such situation is the first convince yourself why you want to take this step, know your strength and weaknesses. My next phase is to take my career international, gain some form of overseas experience before returning back to Africa. How do I achieve this!? My Msc is in International Finance and Economics and I plan to finish with distinction or Merit been the minimum, intern with JP Morgan at their Bournemouth field office and look for opportunities at their office in USA much later. I already searched for attribute and qualities of the roles I plan to apply for, looked up those courses in Udemy and Coursera that can improve my deficiency and start my application the minute I land in BU once i secure an apartment/address and contact number. I also tried to reach out to Nigerian and other nationals (especially blacks and minority groups) to ask how they got in and any advice they could offer. I also used YouTube to learn about the town, adjourning towns and major financial firms around just in case I don't get in to JP Morgan at first. Also via YouTube I got to find out about the Global Talent Program at BU and how that can help my employment status as I'd get to travel, learn new language, build self confidence and network in the process. Also since I'm coming from a science background, I've gone ahead to download some of the textbooks and journals that can build a background knowledge when classes resume in September 21.

Bottom line I want to finish with distinction and I've accepted my limitations and weakness (I can't do two things together i.e. work full time and study). I advice we all do the same, know your drive and reason for going to the UK and you must become a Techie or Nurse to excel.

I know it might be tough but last last all our hustle go pay off, Amen..!!!!

Hello everyone.. Pls I got an admission(unconditional) from Birmingham university in Data network and security for sept. Intake..pls I want to ask about students life over there? Is accommodation cheap and could student get job overthere? Thanks to you all.

naledis:
I’m headed to Uni of Sunderland but the London campus. I booked an apartment using student dot com and I was able to inspect it while I was in London earlier in the year. Check to see if they have listings in Sunderland. I paid for two weeks for a start.

I think accommodation questions were also answered during the Q&A session on WhatsApp. Are you part of the group chat? Applicants got the chance to ask several questions

mimshack2015:

mimshack2015:
Please, I want to apply for my student visa by may and got only 5m... self sponsorship. got admission already to study robotics @ conestoga.. will my account go through or I need a co. sponsor... Please kindly advise sincerely..

chimah3:



That is why it is called being sponsored and that is why you guys give the visa officer room to deny you guys visa because they start checking your income and using it to determine if it is a good enough tie to make you come back. I'm referring to a case where your salary isn't sensible...just like a case of the person who asked the question. But if you earn well...PLEASE by all means put in your payslip in your application.

Putting a payslip of a salary of 50000 or 20000 naira is plain stupid...Reason it!!!

And please i'm speaking from experience, I helped a friend package his application in Feb. Told him not to include his payslip as i usually do because he had a sponsor and his visa came out on Wednesday...So i speak from experience. and this is the second successful one!

iseise:

Yes I have my tracking number and I check almost everyday the response is your application is still being processed. Submission was through paper route I did not link it because it did not work it kept saying my application could not be found based on the information I have submitted

Piethewitch:


Well i have seen people been given visa to canada when they are denied us visa and they did not declare it on there form when they applied for the visa. 2 people and now they are in canada

Crich:


Oh! These are two different situations. Mine was not just a denial but a ban.

Solo8:


I don't understand what your trying to say but thats the reason why you have a passport. If you've been to canada the US knows your travel history when they run your passport and vice versa.

Crich:


Hello, Simeon83.
Why do u think it isn't for all applicants. Have u had d experience, or someone u know had it? Pls share.
Thanks

Solo8:


for sure they do, they'll know everything. Personally, I would let them know but I might be wrong.
