Please can anyone recommend a very good cargo/courier service from Nigeria to the UK?
I need to send some of my stuffs through cargo. Thanks

Any suggestions pls.

Run from Air Maroc oo, If you you no wan lose luggage
I don't know about Ethiopian airlines tho.

You can also check Turkish and British airlines.

No paid mail/call
Keele University (they were really fast with their CAS and they also respond fast to mails(
Yes, my POF showed when I transferred my school fee /living expenses (I think that was why they asked for source of funds)

Seems Stoke-on-Trent universities (Staffordshire uni and Keele uni) issue their CAS fast and quick with email replies too.

Hello guys!
Please what is the best way to bring in the money I will need to the UK? Do I change my Naira with the Aboki and travel with it by cash?

Open a dorm account and get a $/£ debit card.

Hello People,
Please I stay outside Lagos and would like to know, is it a must to upload TB test while applying for visa or can I upload it whenever it's ready?
I'm thinking if I can book a TB test same week I'm expecting to get a biometric appointment date, to avoid travelling to Lagos twice. Please who can advise on this.?
Secondly, who has used the below hospital for TB test? I saw it on the UKVI site as list of approved hospital and they are quite cheap.
The Consultants Practice
25 Raymond Njoku Street
Off Awolowo road
Ikoyi
Lagos
Nigeria

I also stay outside Lagos.

Here is what I did. Firstly I booked TB test at one of UKVI's TB centres online while I was still in my state of residence. Then went to Lagos a day before the test. I received my test result the next day and applied for visa immediately. Thankfully I got a biometric self service date a few days after I did my visa application (I don't know if I got a biometric date quickly because I used the VI TLS which isn't free). After I did my biometrics, I left the next day. All this took me 7 days. The days Should have been less if I was able to sort my virtual card quickly.

Just make sure you plan the whole process well.

My last experience with Turkish was not nice. BA will get you to your destination fast but not a great airline and overly pricey. If you don't mind the distance, try Qatar. Lovely airline and the airport @ Doha is absolutely beautiful!

I already chose Turkish before I saw this + Qatar had high prices for the date I chose.

AquilaW:
From experience, British Airways is good. I’ve not flown with Turkish before.

From reviews, the only airline I see that gets such a bad rep is Royal Air Maroc

Yes, I also saw that BA have competitive prices too.

Hi. Yes, you can

Teamfrosh1201:
Yes, some people got there visa the same week they got empty nsf mail.

I didn't get any nsf mail (empty or additional docs needed) from UKVI. Is this normal?
I did bio on 25th of july at VI.

Ugotitan:
I just got a passport collection email from TLScontact but I didn’t get a visa approval email from ukvi for my student visa. Does that mean my visa was approved?

When did you do your biometrics please?

Oemmy:
What's the relationship btw red flag and my inquiry about schools with low tuition fees and deposit? Why are you soon quick to see red flags in everything. Abeg change that mentality o

He meant would you be able to complete the full tuition within the time given to you by the school after paying the deposit since you will still have between 70% to 80% of the tuition left to pay.

Saint832:
You didn’t state whether you opted for a self service or assisted. If you chose the former and you’re pretty certain you’ve uploaded neatly scanned copies of all the documents you wish to submit, you will need to go to the center with just your Passport, appointment confirmation and document checklist. You can as well go with all the documents you uploaded earlier just in case one or too uploads fail to be legible (Optional). For assisted service you are mandated to send all the above listed documents.

It's self service and I already uploaded all the documents required.

That means I only need to take
- Passport
- Checklist
- Confirmation email

Thanks

Emerald138:
Photocopy of your passport data page

Thanks.

That's all?

Please I only need to take these two along for my biometrics?

- Printed TLS payment confirmation email
- Printed UKVI checklist

Please what else do I need to take along?

Elolam87:
I thought VI TLS is £55

It's now £76

Cashmadam:
Sorry. You pay for VI. You will see a tab on the right that takes you to where you can upload your documents.

I would have used the money for flexi at Ikeja. Anyways, thank God he no pass $100

MrSoftlife:
One chance 😂

You wanted to o chill with the big boys in VI.


You must pay the price

I chose it thinking I would get biometrics date faster

Just seen that TLS Ikeja don't require that fee.
Damn

But is flexi appointment the same price for the two centers?

I chose TLS VI as my biometrics centre but I am still seeing that I have to pay £76, is this normal?

Also, I am yet to see where I will upload my documents or is there another way to do it?

Please let me know. Thanks

MrSoftlife:
They always send a copy to your email address.

Thanks

I m about to choose Friday for my TB test at St Nicholas but will I be able to get my result on Saturday? Or is it till Monday? Please let me know. Thanks.

ShyShyBobo:
3 weeks is a lot. Have you been following up? Email? Phone Calls (though expensive sha)

Do you have more funds in your POF to cover the difference? If not, Just pay more tuition and PLEASE GET AN UPDATED CAS (to reflect the amount).

Someone who made additional payment, and uploaded the receipt among supporting document just got denied as the caseworker overlooked the receipt.

They didn't send the applicant a review before issuing her CAS? they usually put amounts paid to date in a review email to confirm if the applicants details are correct or not before issuing the CAS.

Obiany:
Hello Everyone,

I believe that I am not too late, I would like to apply for schools for Masters January or February session 2025.

Here are my questions;

1. Affordable schools with good payment plan and ranking (Not London), good city with better cost of living.
2. No interview for CAS issuance
3.Issues CAS fast
4.Fast Admission processing time.
5. What should I know before and after applying.
6.Steps to take for visa application
7. I hear people say money needs to mature, I have some funds saved in my acc (14m) how much should I source for? How do you count the maturity thing.
8. I need someone to put me through, Nigeria has dealth with me.

God bless you as you take the patience to reply me. And yes, I have googled but nothing like getting firsthand info from experienced Nigerians.

First of all, please convert your money to USD or GBP. That's the most important.

schweinsteiger:
The sluggishness is my problem now, the rate is going up based on exchange rate, out of blue they wanted interview they couldn't do over 2 months I made payment

I m suspecting teeside. That school is slow AF

schweinsteiger:
Which school is this, because if had known i would only declare it to the UK government/embassy during visa application.
