I am seriously eager to see the response to this question.My funds will be 28days this week and I plan to apply with 3 dependents.Though an agent told me last Thursday that there is a new rule that wont permit me to apply alongside my dependents, he said i will only be able to apply for them after i get my own Visa.Some other persons said it isnt true and am really so confuse

That is not true. A friend confirmed to me that a colleague did family flexi with his family at Ikeja this week.

OBYNOWEST12:
Wen did you send them email ? I mean TB test center, which center gave u 11th Lagos or Abuja..

Lagos centre, I sent an email and got feedback in less than 24hours.

OBYNOWEST12:
Who recently booked for TB test. Which date do you get ?

Got 11th August

atoeosato:
My Ables,
Oanda exchange rate is fast approaching 500. Please, for some of us with 28days already running with an estimated rate of 500, what do we do if paradventure the rate swings more than in days ?

Exchange rate now over #500. What to do had been explained yesterday “make more deposit to your school if you are still owing “ or make some deposit towards accommodation.

naledis:
Hmmm Is this not the way to check the rate for conversion?

Just checked. You are right, fingers crossed

WINNIE9223:
I have followed this thread for so long, I almost know every name on here. The pressure and anxiety has been surreal. Thank you guys, you all do an amazing job with all the information you provide here daily.

Quick one: Is any Northumbria university Newcastle candidate here? Please send me a mail on owunnawinifrede@gmail.com to link up. Let's do this thing together please....

Guys, I've not been able to make deposit for my tuition fees or to at least get my CAS processed because, my banks insisted that they need my BSc school certificate (I don't have that yet) or a certified true copy of my statement of result.
Now, I do have my original statement of result. With a signature and a seal (for goodness sake). They also do not want it certified by a court and my school is on lockdown.

I've explored for other alternatives, you know send money to someone in the UK to make a transfer to the school while I pay into their naira account but the least exchange rate I'm getting is almost 600 naira per GBP.

Someone tell me what to do please.

If your school had accepted your result by giving you an unconditional offer, please neglect the bank and renegotiate with the person who said #600 to a £ , I bought a £ #580 2days ago. If he can agree to pay for you just go for it, that is my little advice. Wish you the very best

Aprokodaughter:
Yes you can but you will need to request for another cas

As the case may be, requesting another CAS will not be an option. The school will issue a receipt of top-up payment for you. You are good to go once you get your receipt. The CAS is a receipt on its own since it shows the amount the school had received from you. Another receipt serves as supporting document.

Mosopea:
Guys pls, can i top up my school fees even after i have been issued CAS?

Yes you can. But make sure you have an evidence of your top up payment so that you can include it with your supporting documents. This is a good idea if the exchange rate goes higher than your budget, instead of awaiting rate to fall or paying up to wait another 28days.

naledis:
Lol definitely not serious.

In other unrelated news, exchange rate on Oanda has hit N501. Please fund your accounts if you still can to avoid having further delays with your maintenance requirements. At this rate it’s not too much to use N600/700 as a benchmark

Oanda rate is 495.023 as at this morning. This has been the highest for some months away now, it may & may not increase. Fingers crossed.

Hi all, I could link anyone going to Keele or Staffordshire University with a private landlord for cheap quarantine or longer term accommodation. You can DM if interested.

hello my people, please i need you help cause my head is about to explode pleaseee. I have few questions

1. I came to the uk on student visa last year sept and course due date is Sept this year (m.sc) but was accused for academic misconduct and my mark was marked 0 for a research topic (one my modules)and compulsory training must be done, please have anybody had this befor and what does compulsory training mean? does it mean I have to repeat a year?

2. my plan was to do a second masters so I can qualify for psw, since I have not yet gotten my final results can I switch to a new school as I hav gotten offer? or do I request for a pgc instead and move to a new school? am here with my dependant kid as well.

3. please can someone explain to me how to go about my 2nd masters application and the entire process please. I have an offer for Sept start and January start but my visa expires January 18th. which is the best time to apply?

please help!!!

Be assured that you cannot switch UNI. Neither can you switch tier4 sponsors when you haven’t completed the first course. Before your head explode, try to re-sit for your module and pass it, it is after then you can talk of another MSc. Besides you must show an academic progression if you intend to study a new course with your Tier 4 or other Tier 4 sponsors. So how do you show progression when you have failed your dissertation. Be properly guided bro.

Iamslickp:
Which school pls

Uclan

Lesley90:
No school has been issue CAS... what could happen...this is unusual...any information so far about CAS.

That is not true. I have received my CAS

aivewobhor:
PLease house can’t we use our Naira card to pay for visa fee and HIS fee

Good question. I learnt it is possible. Please any one with better idea can help. Not sure myself.

SAMDEEA123:
Today the letting negotiator showed me an accomodation 75pounds per week with bills inclusive. The place was looking dirty. At least if you wan show person house, you go make sure it is clean. I just told him to give me 48 hours to come up with a response.

Secondly, he said if I sign an agreement now, I cannot quit in January and move to a bigger apartment. Because tenancy in the UK often ends in June. Abeg who get knowledge of this?

Please don’t sign any agreement with any agent yet. If you do, you will be charged throughout the duration of the contract whether you live in the accommodation or not. Let go of that for now, for the fact you said is dirty is a sign that is not a good deal.

mamacajah:
Please, as students, do we book one -way tickets when travelling with dependents or we can book a short flight ticket for like 3 weeks and after arrival, ignore the return leg? We are having an argument here about which option is right.Thanks guys.

It is advisable and cost effective to book a one way ticket as a Tier4 student. Except if you intend to come back home say for Christmas if you are travelling September. But if not, with one-way ticket, you are good to go. Hope this helps.

Hubbysluv:
Got the same mail too
This September is no longer feasible to me with this nonsense this NCAA just did

I just tire like dodo wey dey fry two times

Encourage yourself dear, what will be, will definitely be.
Got this from my uni this evening. September UK students, let keep hope alive.

Don’t know how true

MamaG2020:
Good morning everyone, can somebody help with Lagos IOM booking email details?

iomlagosmedicalbooking@iom.int

Hi all,
Please has anyone done TB test before and want to do another test. I was told not to register with the link. Anyone in my shoes? If yes, how did it go with the test?

dami24:
Please any UCLan prospective students here?

Yeah UCLAN

Eromo10:
9k is on the high side. Usually around 4K-5k or less depending on your bargaining power.

However, I don’t think the UK require police report for student visa. Even if they do, or you think you’d need one, the report/clearance has a validity period of 3 months(not too sure about the period, but I remember so)

Not all students require police clearance certificate, am sure all Nursing students require it as I was instructed by my school to come with it at enrolment. If your school did not ask you, that means is not needed. Your dependants do not need it. Is not Part of the requirement visa application. Some schools only need to see it to get you enrolled on some of their courses.

SAMDEEA123:
The following TLS is opening next week. Nigeria to open in the coming days most assuredly

Confirmed

Vik15:
pls how much did you pay to get it?

9k

Swtibogirl88:
Hello everyone
please i need a recommendation. i graduated with a BSc in Biology and i wish to run a nursing programme. should i go for a BSc Nursing or Master's? Also, can you please recommend a school outside London with a fee of not more than 14k. Thank you.

Was in your shoes when I travelled, could not get admission on MSc Adult Nursing. Before you can, you must have care experience or social care or have a bsc nursing. Some schools require you fill a portfolio, which is bags load of experience. Having them recently will increase your chances. Hope this helps.

Hello my Ables,

I went to first bank to make tuition deposit for teesside university.. I was told the new CBN rule on Form A is that you cant route payment through a third party except to the school accout directly.(teesside form A payment is through the bank of new york Mellon with payment ref)

I was turned down on this ground. Pls, whoelse have experience this?
I have written to the school to advise possible options anyway.

.

Please how much do you wanna pay? Got pounds, need naira. You can send me an email

Mosopea:
1) Please who has details on who can help me with he police check in panti, and a cost estimate?

2) Will my spouse need to have a police report as well if he intends to work full time in the uk?

I did mine at Alagbon and collected under 2hrs. Dm via email if you want a link up

girlsupersonic:
Please can pregnant women do TB tests also?

You can, if you are in 2nd or 3rd trimester. My wife was pregnant when she did her last TB test. Ask your doctor for proper guidance.

KellyEyimofe:
New Vignettes issued post covid are 90 instead of the traditional 30days.

Airlines like Ethiopian Air, Turkish and British Airways have start dates from 2nd August.

Recall Ist of July government announcement on current phase of lockdown ease is for one month, probably take off of international flights will be mentioned on the Ist of August to commence next day.

Not sure about staff being out of country, people who had biometrics done around March, have decisions being made on their application currently and passports returned to them.

Uk VAC recently opened two centers for new applications , primarily for students hoping to start in universities in September.

Great thanks

When will TLS open for new application?
My thoughts
- International flights need to open first. Because Vignettes expires.
- Some of the staff are outside Nigeria ATM.
- Covid case need to drop.
Hope
Some airlines are beginning to advertise flights from Lagos to London from week ending August.
Please share your thoughts this will help a friend.
