Thank you so much. I don’t think I’ll be able to sponsor her. However, can my elder sister, who is here sponsor her ?

Or would you suggest we raise the money and put in her acct for pof? She doesn’t have a job so she can’t show payslip. Would that be advisable? Raising the money and putting in my mum’s acct.

Thank you

Tutu82:

She would require the same documents as a standard visitor so;Valid international passport,letter of Invitation and/or proof of accommodation and proof of funds.

You did not mention if you have a job and even if you did can only work a set of hours so the funds might not be significant enough for you to sponsor her.

Best wishes.

Hi guys,

I’m trying to apply for visiting visa for my mum.

I’m currently studying in the Uk, what documents would she need? I’ve been checking the thread but can’t see anything about coming to visit your child. I’m over 18 so not a minor.

Please help

That’s not true. I have friends on the course who did zoology, English etc. all you need is a portfolio showing you’ve done some hours of care in hospital or something of the sort. Check the two years masters not the one year one. Consider adult nursing too cuz they have more spaces on that one

Heathrow44:



Masters in nursing i checked is not possible in Nigeria, from wat I saw u can only do Masters in nursing if u av a Bsn, RN

Yes you can. Even people with no science background switch to do it. Do consider it

Heathrow44:




Bro, I'm in a similar position now, I'm anatomy graduate currently serving, I want to immigrate to d UK, what do I do, u said srh about doing Masters in nursing, can an anatomy person do masters in nursing

Entering my fifth week with UBA. No hope. Still on first stage - Adb reviewer

oshocall:
No fast Bank again all banks are now slow majority of us dat submitted in d said fast Bank (UBA) still in adb reviewer for close to two weeks now not encouraging .

I will advice u apply with More than one Bank anyone dat is fast move ur fund there to be debited simple.

when was this pls?

shegzb50:
I used uba when I wanted to pay mine and it was fast

If you have waec, international gce o level should be the correct one

Prettiyruth:
Hello Guys,

I want to add University of Sunderland to my application and I came across this.

Which of these applies to us in Nigeria. I don't have ielts.

Thanks

Pls when did you process/submit the form A with UBA?

Bighgggg:
If I credit the account now. Can they still treat it or I should reapply and wait for another one month.(UBA bank)

September 2022 intake

Your advice please...

She already has a science degree, so it’ll be better for her if she can afford it to go for a masters in nursing. The two years pathway. She doesn’t need any prior knowledge, just some experience as a career and she’s good to go. Honestly, nursing is a very good option. Whether she stays in Nigeria or not to study it, I would always encourage people to do it. It is worth it.

NaughtyBrainiac:
Hello All,

A friend studied Biochemistry in one of Nigeria's Federal Universities, she has completed NYSC but she does not have a job yet.

Her brother who currently resides in the UK wants her to enrol in a school of Nursing in Nigeria and she is not happy with what her brother wants.

I asked her if her brother's reason is because Nursing is profitable in the UK and she said YES, that's his reason. The goal is that she'd eventually relocate to the the UK.

My concerns are:

1. Why study a course like Biochemistry and go back to a school of Nursing? Aren't there better alternatives?
2. Most of the people I know that attended school of Nursing always go back to the Univeristy for BSc. Nursing.
3. School of Nursing in Nigeria will take her about 3 years and I am sure she will still need to write some exams before she will be able to work as a Registered Nurse in the UK.

Are there possibilities of moving to the UK to study that version of Nigerian School of Nursing? If yes, how expensive is it?

On the other hand, if she's able to go to the UK for her masters, masters in what course can she apply for (please bear in my that she is a Biochemistry graduate) that would give her chances of securing a good job in the UK ( At least, a kind of job that would still make her earn something close to what Nurses earn)?

Please advise. Thank you

This depends on your personal belief and choice. However, Public Health is a better course, I think. I also heard Teesside is faster now so that’s not so bad too.

Goodluck

link2ok:
Hi, please I need anybody's imput. Choosing between Hospitality management (Edinburgh Napier University) and Public health (Teeside University). I am confused in which to pick, in terms of employability of the course and choosing between both cities?

Thanks everyone

Congrats, I wish you all the very best

May God's name be praised. I picked up my passport today at VI TLS.

Applied to 4 schools and got offers from them: Coventry, London Metropolitan University (offers in 2 courses), Middlesex University and Glasgow Caledonian University. Paid deposit to Middlesex as I got their offer 3 days after applying (October 7). I did 3 pre-CAS interviews and I was proud of my performance but was denied CAS because of my study gap (7 years). Applied for refund of 4500 pounds deposit (got refunded just last week since December).

Had to find a way of paying 3000 deposit for London Metropolitan University and applied for CAS in December. Got my CAS, January 6. No interviews. They are probably the fastest with CAS once you get your documents ready. You can get CAS in 3 days once they verified your payment.

Visa Application Jan 10th
Biometrics VI TLS Jan 18th
Paid mail February 7th Decision made
Collection mail February 7th
Passport collection February 8th
Documents submitted- Degree Certificate, Transcript, IELTS, POF, CAS, TB Certificate, Introduction letter, no NSF despite 7 years of study gap.

Went through a whole lot during this period. Already gave up hope as my school gave me 14th February as latest day for me to be the UK and they already advised me to defer till September but the good Lord came through for me.

What kept me going during it all was someone's testimony on Part 7 when she said her bible verse for prayer was Ephesians 3 vs 20. Since that day in early January, I wake up every night to pray and use the verse as point of contact with God. He answered my prayers.

I'll be in London this week as God lives and I am not sure I'll be able to hold my tears at Heathrow when I get to hug my eldest brother for the first time since 2002 when he left Nigeria. Man Sponsored everything.

I am crying as I'm typing this. I've gone through a lot.

May the good Lord grant favour to each and everyone of you still waiting on him as regards visa application, he will surely do it. You only need to believe.

Thank you Nairaland. You guys are all amazing. Words alone cannot describe the lives you guys have changed here. Let's keep the flag flying.

Yourself pls. You can always refer to the info on this forum for help

Hairybelly01:
Dear friends
I need your advice please. I want to apply for a master's program in the UK. Is it best i go thru their agents in Nigeria or I run the application directly to the school?

Uni of Huddersfield.

I know it’s also possible in Uni of Plymouth and Hertfordshire Uni

mescanayo:
Please which school,

There is Biology in my waec cause it was compulsory in my secondary school so that is what I used.

Welcomme:
Sorry pls, did you write another waec or you used your Art WAEC result? Also, how many years WAEC did you use? I am thinking of this route, also.

That’s a lie. I did Arts in my first degree (in Nigeria), have no nursing background and currently doing BSC Nursing in the Uk.

Sixtustony:
Good day everyone, I want a clarification on this, very important.

I heard the intention of studying Bsc Nursing, though no prior educational background, like I have my Bsc on Education with an administrative working experience working at a hospital.

Now I have a condition offer from a UK university.

Two travel agency said my visa might be denied on the basis I don't have prior nursing and educational experience, that I won't pass the credibility interview.

I don't want to believe this, but I need opinions. Thanks

Pls is this still available?

sniperaz:
I have a flat to share with anyone interested in Huddersfield. Rent is 250 per month

I do not know if the thread is for just Msc but it was what I used to process my application.

It’s tier 4 so I doubt it’s just Msc

Edwosa:


I thought this thread is more for applicants going for their MSc program?

Can international students use this new UK post-study visa arrangement to pursue a bachelor's degree?

Haha, I can imagine.

I picked mine from DHL, didn’t open it till I got back home because of fear and I didn’t want to cry in the car.

God came through! Congrats once again

Mikool101:

Hello Everyone,

This will be quite a long read.
Collection Mail: 13th January, 2022.
Visa Granted!

I applied for student visa August 2020 but it was refused because my CAS was cancelled by the University.
I called the University to tell them I couldn't meet the resumption date since I had not gotten my Visa and I was informed I'd be deferred to January 2021.

I called the UKVI to inform them that my CAS had been cancelled and the lady on the phone asked if I wanted to withdraw my application. I told the lady that the withdrawal will take a while before I get my passport back but I'm okay with a refusal so I can get my passport back immediately.

Two days later, I was refused but I wasn't bothered so I reapplied with priority in November 2020 so as to avoid the long processing time.

I was scheduled for a phone interview on the 5th day and I answered all the questions but I was refused.

The reasons given were blatant lies saying I didn't know much my fees was and didn't know what my sponsor did for a living.

I applied for AR and it was refused, did PAP - the refusal was upheld.

I proceeded to Judicial Review then the lies were upgraded to "the applicant states NEVER to return back to Nigeria."
The Judge asked the recording of my phone interview be presented the following week.

By the following week, the transcript of the phone interview shown I clearly stated how much my fees was and what my sponsor did for a living. No where was it stated that I'd never come back to Nigeria. Instead I said it was my plan to return back to Nigeria to open a Consultancy firm.

The representative for the Home Office reached out to the Barrister representing me and myself asking to settle outside court.
The Barrister asked if I was okay with a settlement, I said Yes but wanted them to pay all the cost I incurred during the JR process and a new decision to be made.

It was agreed and signed.

July 2021, a new CAS was requested for September 2021. I was asked to provide it within a week.

The University took a while to reply, before they provided a new CAS I was refused again. I WAS LIVID. I sent the Home Office an email telling them I'd follow it up to JR and this time THERE WOULD BE NO SETTLEMENT OUTSIDE COURT.

I applied for AR and it took 3 months before it was successful.
I got several emails of apologies and passport was requested for November 10.

I submitted my passport 10th November, 2021.
Collection email: 13th January, 2022.

This journey started August, 2020.
