POE experience. London Heathrow terminal 5. Maybe an off day or normal duty for him, but this particular officer was politely icy

officer: Why are you in the UK?
me: School

officer: What school, course?
...

Can I see your offer letter?

glances through: Have you paid just 2k?

me: No, that's just the acceptance deposit fee, I've paid 50% tuition
officer: Can I see the receipts

he waits for me to connect to the airport wifi and download the receipt from my email

officer: Who is your sponsor?
me: Myself

officer: How can that be reaction? Where did you work after graduation?

me: compulsory NYSC etc... I saved up, and added family & friends contributions to that savings. I have the balance in my account

didn't ask for further proof

officer: Where would you stay in the UK?
me: Friend's residence (owned)

officer: What's you relationship, how many children do they have?
...
Do you plan to work in the UK?
me: not beyond the 20hrs limit for students

officer: Okay you're free to go (no smile).

Thank God for everything. School resumes tomorrow.
I wish everyone here still expecting speedy arrival of visa and safe passage

Please how did you reach them directly?


Check their Nigerian office address. Walk in, call, or use a travel agent company (be careful of individual agents). I used one recommended by a friend

A lot of the flight tickets with multi-stops I’m seeing are self-transfer. Meaning I’ll need to re-check in by myself at these stops, is it advisable to take such tickets?

If you can reach the airlines directly, you can get a cheaper available flight. I was able to book a direct flight with British airways at a rate of 799 naira per $

On their website that date wasn't even available and the cost was cheaper than Ethiopian and Qatar airways prices for same time gap (4 days before)

@dduchess90

Hello. I booked a flight with Turkish Airlines that goes from Ghana (Kotoka international airport) to Antalya Airport there will be a stopover at Istanbul Airport. After reaching Antalya Airport I will be catching another flight from there to Bristol UK with easyJet Airline.

My question is will I need transit visa going from Istanbul to Antalya and will this also apply when I’m taking my flight from Antalya to Bristol UK. (Regardless if I'm arriving or departing from International or Domestic Terminals)


Hey what school in Bristol?

I booked flight ticket since May and my wife and I were getting scared that we might not be able to meet up, but we thank God for God’s miracle. It’s been a big wait that would make one always panic. I check my mailbox more than 100 times a day as our visa application had passed the normal 15 working days stipulated.

I pray everyone still waiting gets good news soon.

Thank you from the depths of my heart to everyone on to this platform, engaging with questions, issues faced, fears and the ones giving prompt responses and reassurances too. May God reward you all for the kind work.

I just joined the thread this week and it’s been helpful to me and my partner.

Good morning

Flight tickets are ridiculous at the moment. I've just seen a one-stop flight at frankfurt, would I need transit visa if I book this?

someone told me there are exceptions if you hold a valid US or UK visa. Can anyone confirm?

I'm not aware if there's a standard template out there. I believe every application is a unique case. The reason I wrote my cover letter was because I didn't submit any work reference, so I thought I needed to explain more about myself.

Please I need response urgently

You can apply for your visa.

But students with courses resuming from January 2024 are not allowed to bring in dependents, except research students (eg. PhD)

It doesn't matter if you're going into the UK this year, as long as your course start date is from Jan, the rule applies

submitted my application last week and biometrics on monday. My IHS fee was showing 0.00 and when I clicked on pay, a reference number was rather sent to my email and the application continued.

It's been days after biometrics, would I still recieve an email to pay for the IHS when a decision is made, or?

If you desire to save in crypto, simply use a cold wallet or non-custodial wallet to save your stable coins (USDC preferably because it's one of the only true stable coins with a real proof of reserve)

Many people are crypto illiterates and just jump on the farming train without knowledge

Honestly this Patricia story looks like scam, but what do I know

Good morning to everyone...Am going through some difficult time with IOM and I know am not the only one in this,I was able to book my TB test last week(9th of August) and I was scheduled for 14th August,I made transfer to the account rolled out by their customer care (Standard Chartered Bank) and message them with the Booking appointment confirmation message and payment receipt,till the booking day they didn't get back to me so I went to IOM on that Monday (14th August) but we were told we are holding draft appointment not yet confirmed (over 50persons were in this on that Monday) We were told to go back home and message them with our passports and payment confirmation and I did email them on that Monday they replied me on Tuesday to send my passports in PDF format which I did immediately and till now they haven't reply me even after sending messages everyday till this morning nothing yet... Pls if anyone know what else I can do or anyone who's in the same situation like mine and have been able to solve the problem. 😠😡

Hello

Your dates are not aligning

When did you finish Uni (your last degree)??

Cheers

1. First degree 2019
2. Nysc 2020 to 2021 January (public health officer)
3. Post NYSC break (2021-2022)
4. Medical Internship 2022 to 2023 January

Most of my service year was grounded due to covid, so during the post NYSC break and up till date, I remained public health research volunteer in same office.

@duchess90

I have some questions on study gap & supporting documents, please pardon my inexperience with the visa stuff, I joined the threads late.

Finished NYSC 2021 and did a 1 yr internship until Jan 2023, after which I started the Msc applications

Do I need to submit a reference letter from the office I worked in during NYSC (still had some adhoc engagements with them even until last month)

Lastly, a professional license is only gotten after a typical internship, do I still need to get a reference from the hospital I interned to explain the study gap between 2022 till this year (my school didn't ask for this though)

Or can just the certificates for both (nysc & internship) support my claims

Somebody is not sleeping and its a mental problem.
What's wrong with you guys?

At one point in everybody's life, there must be lack of sleep. Either stress or lack k of the required body nutrients.

He did not say he is sick.

This place reeks of very anyhow people.
No wonder the serious ones have long left the forum.
When you come online to read jargon every time.


Don't be to quick to cancel people because you think you're making more sense. Be objective too, everyone is suggesting and the writer was right saying mental issues is not all about being crazy

I had similar issues years ago and it was officially an anxiety related diagnosis. I had to take prescription drugs a few days and my sleeping pattern returned near normal

Even stress can contribute to anxiety disorders! And OP was even suggesting it's been happening for months.

@DECENTBWOY visit government hospital and buy card with the money you use to buy data seeking for help from online doctors . Without expert examination, you may not even notice if your heart rate is fast for instance, or any other underlying cause

Only misinformed people think it's costlier to see a doctor.

Side-note, prescription drugs are not accessible over the counter without a doctor's note. And you may not even need one

Hello

Next half payment is £11k would that be the sum you are paying?

From UKVI point of view, you don't necessarily need to but your next payment due date may be too close to when you resume. You don't want your first week/ month of Uni to be filled with chasing you for your tuition payment.

Based on that you should try to pay more tuition, ask for an updated CAS and submit same plus receipt from your Uni when you go for biometrics

Cheers

Thanks for your response

Total balance is actually £22k, in 2 installments, first half is October then next year for the other

Last question. I'm staying with a friend in Bristol. The house is not rented and is confirmed 7 mins drive to campus.

I put that as address where I'd be staying, but I noticed from past threads people were asked to put school address. What do you advise?
