I will ask and get back to this thread

flyway1:
Yes, but for 24 hours. I’m not sure if that’s ok for the embassy though.

Are they free to hold?

flyway1:
Thanks. I found other options like Air France and KLM.

It has to do with your bank not T212.
Use another card

bulespephilo:
Please I'm having issues re-funding my account. It keeps failing. Has any one faced similar issues before? I funded last week without issues. Plus I've not exceeded the $500 funding limit placed.
I keep getting the message below.

Guys it’s okay, @toyclicks already got the message

Only 24 hours

Yes but you should support it with other reasons & probably mention it towards the end of the interview.

You could research more about the university and city.
That way you have more factual reasons to give in addition to having a friend/family there

toyclicks:
Guys, pls
One of the major reason why I streamlined my choice of Uni to Manchester(Salford) was because I already have someone living in Manchester that I want to stay with.

Could this be a good and strong point when asked during visa interview for the reason for my choice of uni

I am in the process of answering Pre-cas questions sent by uni

It must be an international passport, nothing else

gamaliel9:
Trading 212 told me point blank to upload my International Passport...all other things are in other. I used my PVC.

Cc : toyclicks here you go .
In summary you can still do a taxi job, just not Uber & likes.

mimilyrics:
If he has to work as a taxi driver, it should be more like a part-employment where the employer treats him like an employer, not an independent contractor. Plus if the company is deducting the driver's NI contributions and tax and remitting to HMRC for the driver and evidenced in a pay slip, it can't be termed a gig economy job anymore.

Uber drivers are responsible for paying their own taxes and National Insurance contributions and must also complete a self-assessment tax return each year.

I'm don't know about blueline taxi but it depends largely on the employment terms as outlined above.

Alright I see.
I guess he can work with just regular U.K. taxi companies? Like the city ones etc Blueline or Hatfield Taxis? Or are they also under Gig Economy jobs?

mimilyrics:
It does. See an explanation in the link below;
https://warwick.ac.uk/study/international/immigration/tier4/working/self_employment_examples.pdf

Tbh, I’m not sure if Uber classifies under self employment or does it? I think it falls under part time employment as a student than self employment.

Even if it does and you’re interested in a driving job, there are loads of U.K. owned taxi/driving companies that can employ you. I know that Pakistanis/ Indian students do all this driving jobs but I don’t know the process or documents involved.

toyclicks:
Uber would have been the thing for me
I wanted to even get an international driver's license before leaving
But on learning about its contradiction to tier 4 rules

Yes it does invalidate the terms, just like working above 20 hours. You’re not supposed to (according to the rules), but man must survive. It would be best if you could use a Nigerian bank account.

If not, you still use your U.K. account to receive payments. You can own one or more U.K. accounts as well.
Eg : NatWest & Barclays or NatWest but two savings account.

Tbh, it’s rare for you to be “caught”.
Infact I’ve never heard of anyone all through my stay and after that got in trouble with immigration because of self employment. I may be wrong acc to some users here but I’m sure home office got better things to do than clamp on people doing freelance work to survive.

Just be cautious and thread carefully

AWFCNAIJA:
Please I need expert opinions... Does working from home (online on freelance platforms), irrespective of the number of hours or amount of money made in the process invalidate the terms of a Tier 4 Visa?

Kindly contact them to enquire the actual reason.
Alternatively, you can request for a PDF copy & upload that instead.

You can only scan/snap if it’s a one page document

OvaSabi1:
Thank you. My proof of address upload was rejected and I am just assuming that this is the reason. Other reasons that I suspect:

1. It was scanned and I sent it to gallery before I uploaded. I didn't convert it into pdf.
2. I scanned only the first page
3. The name of the city was not very clear in the statement. The accounts officer said that wasn't an issue.
4. The stamp with the name of the bank was not clear.

It’s not a silly question, feel free to ask anytime

In regards to your enquiry, unfortunately you cannot find it & you have low chances of them actually telling you (bc of security reasons).

Kindly upload your proof of address.
If it gets bounced based on address mismatch, then you have to either update your bank address at any branch or open another T212 acc (have to close the current one first though).

I hope this helps.

OvaSabi1:
Cc Notimezone Skymoore1004
Where do I find my address I entered on the 212 app? I know this sounds like a silly question but I think that I wrote Block 10, Flat 2 on my bank statement and then, Flat 2, Block 10 on my 212 app. But the problem is that I don't know where to find my address on the app.

Kindly close your account with them .
It’s not that serious

mikol:
I called the customer service but for the lady to confirm that it will take 4 working days for sales to be executed. Isn't that crazy for a sales order to be executed over such a long period of days? I

When market opens at the opening price

mikol:
Please who knows how long it takes for a sales order to be executed for BGFV on Chaka platform? I placed one last Friday but it has not yet been executed yet. I only received an email to that effect. I will be glad if anyone can shed more light.

No

Lianalexa:
Please can a company qualify as financial sponsor so I can use their bank statement??

Calm down, don’t get too upset.
I can see you’ve gotten the response you needed?
All the best in your application

Donracy:
You are arrogant, rude and clueless. I didn't mention your name because you are clueless as well and less informed..

These people here who has been providing priceless information about Tier 4 visa do any of them work with Home Office? Anyone who has an experience can always help out.

Mind yourself before I descend on you...

Your name alone self is enough evidence of cluelessness.

Any earnings play for the week?

If you need any help about studying here or the city itself, feel free to holla here

peterveo:
Good morning everyone.
Has anyone here been offered admission
or currently studying at Northumbria University Newcastle?
Let's connect and share ideas.
Thanks

You should choose your current country of residence in this case .

P: S :- you should have a valid residence permit & bill with your address

victichy:
What of those that are not currently resident in Nigeria, that will pose an issue I guess.

Yes it’s okay.
They will know from your student ID number and name (written on the offer letter that you give to the bank).

You can also send them the telex copy to fasten the confirmation

gracedforever:
Hello

Please, is it okay to use my parents account for payment of tuition fees using form A. If yes, how will the school know that the payment is from me?

Yes

neduboo:
Is the UK allowing student from into their country in September 2020?

The most common mistake people make is mixing or omitting an address.

If the address on your bank statement says “no 4 Mr Biggs Road, off Aki and Pawpaw roundabout, Lagos, Nigeria”, then that’s exactly you should write it on the T212 app.

If you write “No 4 Mr Biggs Road, Lagos , Nigeria”, your bank statement won’t be accepted.

If you write “No 4 Mr Biggs Road, off Aki & Pawpaw Roundabout, Nigeria”, your statement will be bounced.
There can be two Mr Biggs Road or A & P roundabout in Nigeria.

Note; Once you’ve submitted an address on T212, you can’t change it. You either have to delete the account & start afresh (which will take a while), or go to the bank to update your address to match it.

So you have to be very cautious.

Another thing is name.
If your names are Akinbola Chinedu Mohammed but your passport says Akinbola Mohammed only or Chinedu Akinbola Mohammed or Chinedu Mohammed only, your identity submission will be bounced. You have to write it exactly as it is in the passport.

So always take time to crosscheck before submission.
They’re trying to be careful and minimise illegal activities from their end.

I think he’s saying you should update your ZenithBank address to match the one written in the T212 app.
You cannot update your address using the ZenithBank mobile app

victichy:
How do you do this for Zenith bank. Tried to no avail.

I wish there was

Neverlosemoney:
Is there options trading at trading 212?

Which university is this?
Also were you offered options similar to the one in the photo?

lampstand:
Hello house,

I am not sure what is happening I need advice.

I just got an email from my school that the course I was admitted to has been suspended ( mind you I have already paid 4000 pounds and in process of applying for CAS). Though I was offered another course which to me is not a problem.

In the new admission letter it was stated that the course will be conducted ONLINE, and that induction and welcome will be on campus.

Please I am a bit worried, is this not going to be an issue when I finally apply for my visa?

I am thinking of applying to a new school at the moment.

Please I have a HND should anyone with info on schools I can apply to for Masters or PG program in Finance, Accounting or Bus Admin, do send me link.

Thank you very much and good luck to everyone.

He has already been answered.
Think he’s been sorted

OakPearl:
So sorry, am not on Trading 212 yet.
Oga Skymoore1004 is the guru on that platform.
I am confident he will advise appropriately.

Yes it’s better if you can pay it off before leaving.

P: S:- you don’t need to get a £500 room. You can find a room of £350-£400 inclusive of bills from SpareRoom or Facebook marketplace. It won’t be easy but it’s very doable outside London.

Then a weekly megarider won’t cost you more than £15 per week (depending on areas in the map), you don’t need to walk. If you don’t need the weekly rider, you can always buy day tickets when you’re out or single tickets (£1.50 and above). If you feel like exercising, rent a Mobike or any other bike brand and cycle your way around. You can find instructions on how to rent a bike online.

You can cook yourself. Shopping can be done in Poundland, Lidl, Asda, Morrison for cheaper price. Even if you eat out, McDonald and likes or Nando’s and likes won’t cost you as much.

In terms of shopping, you can get clothes from £3-£5 in the sale section from shops like Newlook, River Island, H & M etc (during sales/clearance period). You have Primark of course and you can grab a bargain of £1 clothes from the sale section. I’m not sure about Derby but Vue cinemas are usually cheaper than odeon etc. You should also sign up with your student union and get the Nus card that offers you loads of discounts from shopping to eating and many more.

You should also get 16-25 railcard to get cheaper rate for trains (eg Derby - London). If you cannot afford train, you can use Megabus or National Express for as low as £1.50 (I’m not kidding for MB). Sign up for unidays as well.

You can even find a cheap all inclusive holiday or weekend getaway to an European country for as low as £100pp for 2 nights from budget airlines. Obviously £800 will not be much for a lot of enjoyment but it’s sustainable. It’s just about how you manage. You can always do weekend jobs as well

All the best

garuskoko:
Ok. This is good to hear. All I have to do now is try and pay off the balance of my tuition before leaving Nigeria.
I don't want work pressure to distract my studies, it seems it's the anxiety to work more in order to pay tuition is what makes many people lose focus.
Just thinking out loud.

£800 is sufficient for an ok life but falls under the £1,015 suggested by immigration for monthly maintenance. However I doubt about making savings from it after rent, bills etc

garuskoko:
I need a realistic on the ground analysis of how much a student can decently live on while studying outside of London (for me I am going to Derby)

My question is, can a student who has paid his tuition in full before leaving Nigeria live ( student standard life) while earning 800 pounds per month?

Or is 800 pounds not just enough for anyone to live on. Are there people who are able to make savings from this money?

Hahah I read this in a particular tone, but Amen!!!!!
Everything will work out for you

trishvik1:
[b]thank you but please this is not my situation in Jesus name[/b]my case is completely different and clear. I just had a baby and didn't write just 1 modules well the week I delivered was wen I submitted so I didnt complete and forgot to reference. Thank u all the same.

I don’t exactly know your situation but I can tell you about the guy I know of.

Firstly he was caught for plagiarism and unoriginal work.
He paid a website to write one of his assignments because he was working most of the time. It was weird because turnitin did not show much %age when he checked, so he was surprised when the university called him for a meeting. Anyway he resolved it after various meetings and caution, he had to resit the module during the next summer.

Then during exam again (after the other incident), he was caught with a paper after he took a toilet break. Although the paper did not have anything written on it (ink), it showed an imprint from another paper where he wrote some formulas. So that one got him into trouble again and he was given an expulsion letter after various interventions. Apart from the cheating scandal, my guy was working 90% of the time. His grades and attendance were very very poor. He was constantly missing seminars and presentation. Anyway the school reported to home office and his visa was curtailed. He was given I think 2 months or so from the letter to appeal or leave the country. He even involved a solicitor but to no avail. Then he tried applying to another school and he actually got conditional offers but pending transcripts & immigration check etc. Unfortunately he couldn’t proceed because he couldn’t provide the pending documents.

Long story cut short, he’s currently illegal in the country.
He didn’t want to go back to Nigeria at all cost. He deleted all his social media and closed his bank account. He rents second hand rooms and does cash in hand jobs. Life is really miserable for him. This all happened around 2017/18.

Again, I don’t know what your situation is and it may not even relate. Whatever the case, try and resolve everything with your school and don’t wait too long. You can still meet up for sept if your result will be out by then. Or you can just take a break and work for the next months. Then start your studies again in January 2021.

All the best brother

trishvik1:
thank you very much for your prompt response. i am grateful.

I am definitely going to complete this masters which end in sept. the worst case scenario is that I will ask for a post graduate diploma cert or so. or accept the mark 0 which will drop my grade from credit to pass.

I need help with how to go about a second masters application. the schools I applied to knows my situation and asking for transcript as part of my offer req.

I don't need my current m.sc grade to get another masters, as far as I complete the course and come out with something to show I attended the sch. 2nd masters is accessed with yur b.sc but just need my completed results for visa and progression purpose.

I have cald my sch to ask the outcome of compulsory academic training but they dnt have a response yet. the person said she doesn't no that they will let me no. I am just curious to know the situation of such outcome if anyone hav had the same experience as my self please kindly share.

Thank you for your response pls more suggestions/advice are welcome please. Thank you
