[quote author=]if i am using my dad's statement of account. do i have to wait for 28 days? and do i need to write ielts to apply for visa because my school said that a B in my o'level English is okay.[/quote]Yes, you must wait for 28days.

If your school has given you an unconditional offer, they'll tell you the documents they use to access your application.
If they didn't require an IELTS, then you don't need it

danny4sure: Thanks,ain't no guy I submitted 19th dec,visa was issued 31th dec and I received it today via courier. Basically it took 5working days cos of the holiday and I submitted @ the Abuja VAC.

Oops, my bad

Seems Abuja is faster, wish i could submit mine there.

kellyemms: cool which day is ur test

22nd. Interview would hopefully be on the 24th

danny4sure: Got my Visa delivered @ home today
Thanks to you guys,your help and responses got me on the right track during the entire Visa application process,can't mention your names but God bless you all...Amen

Congrats man. How many working days did it take? and where did you submit yours?

You guys can book your TB test via phone, i just booked mine.
You'll get the certificate the next day

guiddoti: wow! It's my brother going for top up in elect and elect. B.Eng. He's still counting 28 days which we end on 11th jan. Have you got ur accommodation?

that's cool. am still counting too, 24th january. i haven't gotten accomodation but from my research, it would be easy to find at keddleston.

he will definitely get there before me

errrm, maybe am not getting this but wats GUI?

graphical user interface? or is it something else?

Mrkossy's issue is more of the cost.

@Mrkossy; everything is business these days.
As IOM has gotten monopoly of the service, they have the sole disposition to set the cost

UncleJJ: This is the very same reason security and forensics , is much more important. As a tech-person , i assume you have access to the internet and can google "privacy issue's". Facebook, should not be going through user's data: to the extent where it queries, it's databases to find out users location. I know this is only possible if you accept the request via browser , however this data as we have seen is shared amongst various research companies who are profiling users and document pattern's.

Dude, security is a big issue - that why lot's of people prefer to run internet activities via self-managed vpn's - everything is been monitored. Have you forgotten so soon - Edward Snowden . Security experts are the most valuable - you must learn to secure you data or do your best to randomize it.

Facebook will always work with what you give them.
I fully support them analyzing data held in THEIR database. If you don't want you data being there, then don't register or minimize what you give to them.
What i don't support is sharing those data with third parties.

Nevertheless, i believe security is quite very important. But you gotta have something to protect (Data), knowing the value of it (Analytics) and then thinking of protecting it (Security). So, in reality, data still comes first

Do you know about .htaccess

kellyemms: u need to go book oh! cauz dey rilli lot of peeps dey wana do d test. so go book ur place. go along with ur international passport and 2 passport photograph and ur verification of payment slip dat u paid at d bank

yeah, the news seems to have gone viral May 2013, but am still yet to find close-by centers

kellyemms: they referred me to international
organization for migration (ION). i finally went to one of deir branch
in ikeja gra, and was told d tb test is arund 22k wen i convert to
naira. people dat wana take d test many oh... so dey booked me for next week...ukba wan use dis tb test stylishly dey chop our money too oh!

now, this is disheartning.
Must one book for it in advance or can i just go there and get done with it. hope it doesn't take time too

royalsweetness: I applied in Lagos. The 6 working days does not include collection of passport. The passport got to Lagos after two/three extra days.

thanks.

they have lagos and lekki (still in lagos), which one exactly?

pls, those that got their visa between 2 to 6 business days, where did u submit it?

did the visa actually get to vfs within those days or was there also a waiting time before you can collect it.

pls dnt get me wrong, this is not an arguement. i am just trying to clarify something to him based on total cost per complete transaction.

a complete transaction is when the amount gets to the merchant's hand, atleast, in my opinion. And the fees involved is 2%+

voguepay is very good, i can testify to that. a lot of my clients use it as i always advise dem to, if they dont have d funds for the bigger processors. But we still have to state the fact.

i believe you should calculate all charges involved in securing the funds from your customer to your bank account

@op;

voguepay's total transaction fees from the customer to yout bank account is 2% + 120 naira

pls, read and digest their pricing page well.
he already posted the link.

guiddoti: Do we have anyone going to derby

miz Gene: How come u hvnt gotten a CAS by now?? Dts strange, I hope you make it sha.
Spikes C u too!

I've gotten my CAS ofcourse, i got it the same day i paid.
Just still counting 28days

larride: Why is this place deserted?

It's January dude, happy new year

Voguepay charge 2%+

Check their pricing page


In the member area, you chose who pays for the charges

OMOT4GOD: Hello everyone and happy new year.
I am expecting my cas soon from coventry uni to apply for visa. I got my admission using notification of result and some certificates pls from experience do school always state certificates only in the cas and do they accept certificates only at enrolment?
And my last question, the school resumes mid jan but i requested for exemption so i dont know what resumption date the cas will carry. Is their a minimum number of day that ukba require students to apply before resumption?
I am really nervous o_O

If you have gotten an unconditional offer, then you don't have anything to worry about.
They will list the documents they used in accessing your application in the CAS, and those are the documents you need to apply for Visa AND submit during enrolment.

If you requested for extension, you should have asked them for, exactly, the time you needed.
I am also in your shoes, i just hope mine would come out in 6 business days like others testified here
or hopefully, even less

mrkossy: Also tell her that the world will be hers when she gets there. no disrespect man but i think you ll be better off if you do more reading than talking cos clearly you never read what i wrote or maybe you did and just didn't understand it. if you ll take one more look at what i wrote am sure i wrote something like "Re you bank cards, they will work perfectly okay in the cash machines as long as your bank in Nigeria will provide excellent service" does the phrase 'As long as' ring any bell? probably not. it doesn't mean her card wont work, its just a way to tell her that she needs more cash more than she needs her card cos the card might not be available all the time. but you couldn't read between the lines could you? Then you went on to ask "which card do not fail"? "cos its Nigerian"? so for some reason you think i said it cos its Nigeria? if you honestly think so then my bro you need to grow up!
Re to the food stuffs, i honestly hope you do know what you are saying for her sake.

Maybe i came off as been offensive. Sorry if you feel that way.
When i said overrated bullshiiiit, i wasn't referring to you but to people who always say so.
Secondly, i never meant u're degrading Nigeria
I am just talking against people who say Nigerian cards constantly have issues in the UK.

For the food stuffs, like i said, i am sure of what i am saying. On UKBA website, they have a few list of things you can and cannot bring in.
They have a very high opposing attitude towards liquid stuffs.

For more than 10 years now, i've helped packed my mom and brother's stuff whenever they're going back.
They always take ground stuffs and fish products. A lot of fish products for that matter.

Dkoo: my problem in UK is getting a job but if i will add anything to the conversation i ll say @mrkossy is right. most food stuffs are not allowed.

What's ur definition of MOST foodstuffs?
Can you give me a few list of what you're sure that's not allowed?

internetpo: ;DSee your life. When we tell you to use Nigerian hosting providers, you wil be shouting.

like seriously, did u just type this?

where is ur server located?
if i have issues with my hosting, can u fix it urself? or would i have to wait for u to call ur provider? which u would probably just send an email?

can u tune ur servers urself?

dude, tell that to idiotas

mrkossy: Alright listen up i will state the obvious for you now and you will understand it once you get over to UK.
Re you bank cards, they will work perfectly okay in the cash machines as long as your bank in Nigeria will provide excellent service. The first issue i had in the UK when i first got here was with my Nigerian master card, it wont complete my transaction after i finished shopping in a shopping mall and trust me you don't wanna go through that moreover the charges it will attract will be extremely high because you will be forced to pay some bills with your card even in shops. talk about foodstuffs.. Seriously you could get screwed at the airport. Might not be in Nigeria but in UK. They don't take most food stuffs especially ones from Africa lightly. Matter of fact you might even end up paying a fine for it. If there is one thing you need here it Money!! Not food stuffs

Ok, i dnt need to be physically in d UK to know this is a bunch of overated bullshiiit.
when was d last time u used a nigerian issued mastercard, 10, 15 years ago?
which cards do not fail? cos its nigerian?
the best thing for her is to carry some cash, simple. You won't tell me all 4 cards from differient banks would fail her at the same time.

coming to food, MOST foodstuffs from Africa are accepted. they only have problem with liquid stuffs.
The reality is dat u pay tax if some foodstuffs crossed a certain weight limit cos they see it as likely to be sold.

@bunberized; go through the other uk thread from the beginning to like page 30. thats where u'll find most of wat u're looking for. you can carry ur stockfish but make sure u seal it very well. a lady talked about sealing options there too.
You can also take grinded foodstuffs like egusi, ogbono etc.
Am on mobile now, will post u a document on foodstuffs u can take and cannot take, gotten from ukba.

just give me d address of ur restaurant wen u get to UK

bunburized: Thanks. The statement I submitted was dated 4th December. By Jan 15th it will be close to a month and 2weeks old.
Should I still go with that or I just print my current statement?
Though my balance is still way above the maintenance mark but the current balance is about 2m less than when I presented it.
Does this present a challenge in case it is requested at the POE?
In respect to our local officials at the airport I will "handle" them.
I am doing everything by the book.
The only challenge I may face is that of the dried fish I intend carrying. I was briefed by a virgin atlantic official that though it is nt legal to carry dried fish but people do it all the time. He suggested I just tip them and they will be fine.
I won't mind removing those if they want to trouble me over it coz I rather not go with it than tip them above 1k o.

This is false. You can carry 20kg of any fish products
