francini: @SpikesC thanks so much, I just called my university, I was told I should fill what has been paid so far , then pay. Up remains of the Tuition fee and even if I can't get the updated CAS I can use the Online print out of d payment.
But I want to ask if it is possible to edit d details on d form even after submission?
Yes, they are correct. You fill the form with the current details now. When you pay later, you include a letter to explain it and also include the payment receipt if it doesn't show on the cas.

Nope, you cannot edit it again

justwise: Sharing 5bedroom flat with a family as a student is like renting a corner in B&B or being a lodger, you hardly get student experience or have much say about what goes on in the house, it get even worst if the family got kids, kitchen, toilet and bathroom will be in a mess. Privacy is not always there and there is not much you can do about it.
Also, you're at the mercy of the parents behaviour regarding how they treat people. Your movement is literally controlled by them, you can't have friends and get the freedom as you want etc. Infact, imagine still being under your parents who's naturally a control freak. Just like you said, you hardly get student experience.

sassybee: My status changed for a bit but it's back to Attend your appointment undecided I hvnt gotten a mail or text from dem but I Hv picked up my package...well.. I guess if you aren't in Lagos, you just Hv to wait for their mail or text or better still contact UKVI and find about the status of your application.. https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-outside-uk

TeamclicksAir: A forumites asked a question if they are reliable? and i gave an answer. if a company will demand for more after you were assured of a price without caring whether you have the extra. thats means they are not.
i said they are legit which is true but reliable nope.
google wakanow review and be the judge.
i went through your posts and your thread. It's just a professional advice, that's all

SpikeSc how far u don collect?

TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by spikesC(m): 9:38am On Aug 20, 2014
TeamclicksAir: They give you excuses such as the airfare has increased. so you are forced to pay more.
Booking should hold the price for min of 24-72hours after which you lose your slot.
You know it's not quite ethical to use the bring-a-competition-down method to get customers. I would advice you focus on your marketing, branding and customer satisfaction. Get your ads on everyone's eyes, and you would be competing with wakanow.

If you require the services of a marketing and brand promotion company, give me a call wink

francini: Pls can one apply for UK Visa and book a date like 4th of Sept this week, in anticipation to pay Complete Tuition fee and update CAS before the appointment date as it is already late to start counting all over? Will this be regarded as furnishing UKBA with false information during the course of filling the Visa form? The reason is to secure an interview date for 1st week of Sept as resumption is slated for 22nd. Maintenance fee has clocked more than 28 days already.
It is absolutely possible and ok. But you should be sure that your school would update your cas and not issue you a new one

I was contacted from Abuja that even though I, the applicant scheduled for tier4 pbs appointment, I still have to apply for tier4 pbs appointment for all my dependent. They also told me to that since there is space at VI, I should book my appointment there. I don't want to risk booking the appointment for 29th at Ikeja. It may just be too late. U know how those people are. So make una dey pray for me o. Hopefully they have settled a lot more.

Please note in his post, he has mentioned that he has already submitted visa application and later realized it. smiley Regards
Thank you very much.

He said he has submitted the online application but not the document and bio-metric submission. So he can write a letter and submit with the hard copies when doing his bio-metric submission

Bambamzzzz: Please help me, i just checked my CAS that was reissue and they made a mistake on my name by writing davids instead of david, i noticed this after application has been submitted and appointment booked for Wednesday in abuja.
I called the school to notify them about this and they have sent me another CAS with same CAS number noted on it that the student first name is david not davids but am very worried that the ECO might not check sponsor note because all this ECO dont always have patient when checking stuffs like that and there is no way to include this in additional info because i have already submitted before seeing it

Please advise me on what i can do to make sure the ECO notice it
You can write a separate letter, notifying them of the error and of the note in the cas and submit with your application

Ok, i don't know much places in Lagos but when i came, i used google map to find my way around. Also, ikoyi was very close to VI so it was easy for me.

Yes, they would allow you in.
I would advise you come as early as possible to enable you finish your biometrics and submission of documents before the oyinbo interview starts at that your appointment time.
