I inquired from my school and they require a 28 day statement before I can get a CAS.
Thank you for the options you have given.
I intend to make my aunt my legal guardian by getting a court affidavit.
What do you think?

Hi there Timmiey, pls adhere to the earlier suggestions. I kept mute thinking smone wld pop as a victim ...but seems I am d only one.... Luckily for me my uni (NOT UK EMBASSY) declined my uncle's acct whom I used as my guardian.
I was told It wld work perfectly if one is an orphan or legally raised over years. As mentioned, it requires lots of documents. In my case the uni declined his acct, thus had to use my personal acct. Note this isnt a Nign thing.. I applied outside Nigeria, and my uncle is based outside Africa.
hope it helps. BOL

Another snake gone. RIP to the black reptile. It looks like black mamba to me

Black mamba has got NO BLACK SKIN, it's noted BLACK cuz of its inner mouth and tongue. Poor snake, only fulfilling nature's call (FOOD CHAIN CYCLE/ECOSYSTEM). imagine snakes going extinct ,rodents will be a terror to manage.

timmiey:
Thank you. Am sorry I didn't follow this thread from the beginning. I can tell her to transfer the funds to my account for the 28 days statement for my visa application. But the statement that I need to send to my school, it doesn't have to be a 28day duration abi? Shebi its just a statement with a sufficient closing balance?
BTW my school resumes January but I don't want to waste precious time considering the time Visa processing takes.
OlowoB I appreciate you. Please answer this.

Hi timmiey, trust u r good.OlowoB's post is very vitial. In simplicity, the requried cash must be in ur account or that of your parent/legal guardian for 28days. This is needed for both ur CAS and Visa (MUST BE HELD FOR 28DAYS)
NOTE... ensure u have at least 5% to 10%more of the required funds to avoid defect in accuracy casued by the recent fluctuation of pounds to naira. Pls check and always use OANDA
Hp it helps.

olalekan9320:
they are both divisions of zoology,what abt the other option, thanks very much

There isn't any restrictions to study a paritcular course in the UK I am knowledgeable of d relations of zoology wt the aforementioned sub-courses. Understand u are building YOUR future, select what's most appropriate for ur future needs. Again as I pointed out, you wld be questioned, this is where ur personal and genuine reasons wld stand rigid with no flaws. I'm pretty sure u won't mention my name as ur decision maker during ur interview
Hope it helps. TC

olalekan9320:
pls I have a question for the gurus in the house.I'm a final year student studying zoology in a Nigerian university,pls,which one should I consider,is it going to UK to have my masters in fishery or parasitology(I want to stay after my study) or doing a direct entry here in Nigeria to go back and study medicine before coming for my masters(I learnt it is called specialty there,as I want to come in through study,to also stay after my study)

You can study what you please but be WELL PREPARED for questions in relation to ur previous study with reasonable intentions.
Staying in the UK after ur study is possible however be aware of the possibilities available to expats esp as an intl student.
Justwise will certainly have appropriate answers to that.
Hope this helps. BOL

Certainly you can, not a sweat on d skin. Be sure to have appropriate answers to possible questions that *may* be asked.
Hope that helps

Hi,
I am filling my UK visa application form and I got to the part of accommodation and I do not know what to fill as I haven't paid for accommodation yet and I was hoping I'll pay only when I get to see it.
What should I do as the school said I shouldn't use them as correspondence address.

Hahahah Goldenmorn... u kidding me, dnt bother buying a thing u wld realize all things u least expect are in UK, I'm certain of Peckham, Woolwich Dagenham ....just walk into any African store and also ask Nigerians/Ghanaians/Jamaicans just to name a few.

TB test now costs N48900

Thanks alot Sleyflash, you are smart like a Phd prof, reliable as google, fleek as Android and slay all corners of my questions like a drone... :wink:

sleyflash:
hi, The TB test centre is at 1 Isaac John street, GRA Ikeja. Note that it's at the junction of Isaac John street and Oduduwa way.
It costs N47,500 for an adult(11 years and above) and N19,000 for children below 11years.
You will need to book an appointment by mailing iomlagosmedicalbooking@iom.int or calling 234807 219 1112.
After your booking has been confirmed, you'll need to pay at any standard chartered bank and take the teller +your passport to IOM office on your test date. Note that there's a different teller for IOM payments so ask for it when you get to the bank.
IOM account number is : 0001847002
Account name: international organization for migration.

You need to get TB certificate confirmed then you can comfortably start your visa application and choose an appointment date.

I hope that helps.

Hi all, can you pls help with the accurate amount i(n NAIRA) of the following
**Normal application UK tier 4

Better still refer me to a current and well detailed website
Thanks in advance

.

mimilyrics:
1. Yes.
2. £184
3. Yes, you'll be needing your NI number + your reason for getting it.
You'd also need details of previous medical treatment in the UK.

I appreciate your response but the third answer knocks me to ....have u ever worked in the UK .... Justwise was helpful on that tho. thanks all the same

Hello all, please repond with the most helpful information on these questions
*Can two acct be submitted for statement of acct (both owned by applicant)
*Cost for priority application (NOT SUPER PRIORITY pls)
*Is there any need to add my NI and or NHS number to the new application (Justwise guess you would have more knowledge on this)
thanks y'all

LaaJiblik:
[/b]If I were you, I wouldn't do that. I would use an existing account. It's suspicious to just have new account, no previous transactions, no latter transactions. Just 1 huge deposit of over 4,000,000 naira. Then a statement. I hope you realise that the bank statement you will then submit will simply be 1 page and 1 line?[b]

I'm sorry I disagree with the above, I did same,(new acct wt bulk cash deposit) for my last appication and was approved with no delay. As Justwise reponded likewise..... follow suit.

Can an ulcer patient eat moi moi? And what if the beans is well cooked to soften.

Hi, moimoi is ok (doesn't seem to react on me and a family member). I can't take unpeeled cooked beans, however moimoi seems to go well wt me.
My mum adds less pepper, garlic, g.oil, ginger salt and seasoning *knorr* wt fish (smoked or boiled titus). My portion is seperated from the rest though. I guess she adds less of d above but most Importantly less pepper.
Living wt ulcer for over 20yrs sadly (duodenual and chronic). Keeping to strict diet helps alot

Avoid highly starchy foods....eba, fufu etc. Spicy and chilli foods, oily(No fried food esp dry fried--meat, chinchin, crisps), salty and sugary foods are NO NO. Avoid eating outside or ready made meals esp factory packed. I hope this helps.
