Really?
I came with truckloads of ponmo and dried fish.
The bag that contained them was delayed. Reason wasn't stated but I guessed the aircraft was overloaded.
We filled form and my bag was delivered to my residence 2 days later
Hope you weren't fined?

MsAnne20:
Tips for carrying FISH to the UK

1. Ensure it is dry
2. Remove all dirt and head
3. Tear it into pieces
4. Put in a ziplock and label with paper tape.
5. Wrap with newspaper.....lol


[b]They seized my PONMO ....[/b]lol

Were you able to get student fare and how much?

TheGuyFromHR:
I bought directly from BA website and paid with my dollar debit card.

For those planning what to load for travel. I'll advice you add these

Lonart tablet for malaria.(JIC you incubate malaria before coming)

Flagyl tablet (JIC your system reacts to the food even on the plane)

Piriton tablet

Ciprotab

Bitter cola

Tomotom


Its best to buy any medication you usually use there in Nigeria and can get from pharmacies there. Because here you'll have to get prescription from a doc to get certain drugs. So for example if you're asmathic and need your inhaler or ventolin tablet get some before coming. If you use antibiotics for chest infections, get some also. Piriton is for allergies.

The only drugs you'll be able to get off the counter here is basic pain relievers, and drugs for cold and catarrh etc

All the best

Good good.

3k, and yes, it was through him. Although, I most likely would have been able to still get it today without the facilitation payment coz the amount of applicants there today were very negligible.

Glory to God for speed still. Thanks.

Great.
Thank you

Guys pls I am trying to find where the discussions on getting NI were made on this thread. The search bar is no avail.

Make we kuku start the discussion again biko

@Mimilyrics pls come, I wan disturb you

You are most welcome

Preshnificient:
Thank you so much sir. This has been most helpful.

Their office is adjacent the Intl airport toll gate...just ask when you get there.
I was there a few weeks back and it was on the day they started a 2 weeks warning strike. the normal fee is N2k but we were told to come behind and get it. We paid almost N4k extra but we got it same day as against normal procedure of next day.

the contact's number there is Nonso : 07039092599

Good luck

Preshnificient:
Good evening house.

Please this is a bit urgent. Has anyone done the yellow card at the MM2 office recently? My airline said it's compulsory and I have only tomorrow to obtain the card.

I just want information on anything that can make it faster. Do I need to get there very early? Are they other places I can do it? Someone please help

Congrats Sis

VAC...... Ikeja

It has been a long journey!
With 2 visa refusals from US and Canada for me, 4 visa refusals for my hubby (2 from US alone this year)...it was a journey full of faith, prayers and determination. So many errors along the way, issues with my hubby's passport made us do a new passport within a week. It was a mental hurdle for us all but thank GOD it finally ended in PRAISE!!

Thanks to everyone here@mimilyrics, justwise, and so many others who I picked your brain on how to make this possible..you guys are 10 zillion much. With this, I draw the curtain on my constant commentary here as school work has started in earnest and I need to switch focus from applicant to student mode (LOL).

I pray for all those who are waiting, about applying or have applied..the same God that made ours a success in spite of everything, will do the same for you. Stay strong guys..the race is not to the swift nor to the strong but to him whom God shows mercy. I will miss you all but I gotta move on now..

Adieus Amigos! Au revoir mes amis!

No it wasn't priority neither was there any external funding

wongwe:
Was it priority?
Did you also received full funding?

Welcome to the geng

No cause for alarm
Mine was in 4 days....same Pretoria

Please be advised that a decision was made on your visa application today. Your documents and visa decision will now be returned by commercial courier to the visa application centre where you applied (unless you paid for the courier fee in which case it will be returned directly to you). This can take a few days and be subject to unforeseen delays so please wait for the visa application centre to advise you when your documents and decision are ready for collection.


Regards,
UKVI Pretoria

Yeah!
@Skycharges, Right there. Hope you are clear

Aprokodaughter:
Toyclicks already mentioned your final destination which is 11am.

Except you plan to stop at London which means you will get to UK 5:25. But if you are going to Glasgow direct you will arrive UK at 11am Glasgow time.

Your destination is Glasgow. You departed from Nigeria....so you have to fill accordingly

Skycharges:
Good morning everyone. Please I will be needing an assistance in filling the locator form. My final destination is Glasgow. Am I to fill Heathrow airport as d option of wie I will landing in the UK...

More so, my flight is scheduled for tomorrow's night to reach London 5am den Glasgow by 11am..

So what would I fill in the space provided for arrival date and time, then departure date and time..

*PLEASE GURUS IN THE HOUSE SHOULD HELP ME PLEACE!!!!!!!* especially those that had connecting flight..I will b quarantining myself at Glasgow too

OMG! Really
Hope he got it sorted and they let him go.
Are you just arriving today?

mamacajah:
That amount is quite small, please increase it..even for visit visa..it's still too small
besides hope you can show your money still in your account when you arrive UK
because [b]a student was querried repeatedly on this today by UK immigration
[/b]so to avoid stories that touch..ensure you have done the needful

It looks like I missed out on something here.... My last post was deleted

Thanks

Quarantining in private house

utaraji:
You are blessed bro. Please are you quarantine in your student accommodation or in a hotel/BB?

Thank you

Adurami040517:
Wow, congratulations once again.
Wish you all the best

Well........!

1)hope you stated in your application that you have a family there(London) or at least that reality is coherent with what you filled in the form. Even at that, you must have a valid back up explanation why you are going to London

2) If its just cos of the expenses you are considering, I think its better to bear the expenses of going via the nearest airport to your destination. In my own case, my terminus was at my destination(Manchester) I had a connecting flight from LON to MAN. from Manchester airport, we still had to take a train to the city before taking private vehicle home. My Luggage which was a plastic box was all broken and scattered by the time I received it at the airport. It wasn't a joke moving it with all the wheels lost and the bag itself broken. You can imagine if I wasn't going straight to destination with that ordeal. Twas still crazy even though I had someone to come and pick me.

On the other hand, if your family's place its not a long journey from the airport it could be a better option for you as you might be able to catch your breath from the trip for the 14 days of quarantine and then rearrange for your journey to final destination

Just my opinion and all the best

phadexzhi01:
Hello Everyone, please I need your help. I’m to resume at University if Wolverhampton this month, I have already gotten my tier 4 visa . The closest airport to Wolverhampton is at Birmingham (which is expensive). I want to know if I can fly to london instead and observe the 14 day quarantine with my family there. I don’t want any issues with immigration. Any insights please?

Greetings live from Manchester.

I am grateful to God.

To Him be all the glory

Ehn?? Wetin happen bros

Was it your final destination?

Gbeskey:
Heathrow Airport queue humble me today

What makes you say they might not refund till December?

reincarnation:
If you have extra funds, travel with Kenya Airways. Those Emirates guys might not refund till December.
Kenya Airways is cheap (£337), just that you will layover at the airport for 13 hours.

Wakanow just told me they had initiated the process then but nothing else yet after that.

I was told it will take 4-6 wks

smocky:
@toyclicks , please any update on your refund from emirates?

Ok
Thank you

omopapa:
Depends on how far you are travelling from the airport but £100 shld be enough for taxi, mobile topup and maybe quick lunch

Guys Pls, how much in GBP cash is advised to trvel along with. Basically for sorting urgent things e. cab etc

@Mimilyrics

Congratulations Sis

The 31 day rule is very key and not being joked about
If you've not done biometrics and used assisted service, I think you can still upload updated bank statement. If you used self service, I think you can upload on the day of your biometrics by paying assisted service fee.

If you've done biometrics, you might need the write UKVI with the updated bank statement. In this case, you will be hoping they get the mail on time and attend to it esp this period when they are swamped with workload.

Other option will be to withdraw application and start again

Gurus should put + or - where my suggestions are inadequate.

All the best

Elizabeth28:
Guys please if you submit a bank statement older than 31 days,lets say 48 days or thereabout, would it negatively affect the application.
I did not know about the bank statement being 31 days old as at the time of submission

I am very worried, someone should help me please with answer.

If you read this thread from 100pages thereabout backwards. You will see where schools that accept HND directly for masters were discussed and listed.

Better still you can click on Skymoore's moniker and read his posts. I think he listed them somewhere.
All the best

FlexxyBae:
Thank you very much for your response
Will do as you have suggested..
I'm grateful

Thanks a mil

Pls can you help me with the locator form link or is it supposed to be sent to me at some point?

Aprokodaughter:
Will be using them as well. Seems nobody here have used them recently.

Its better to quarantine somewhere close to your school and remember we are meant to disclose (by filling the online form) our location within 48 hours before arrival.
