Travel / Re: Is Traveling Abroad Worth It? by vvansalam: 5:01am On Nov 09, 2022
pansophist:


No vex comrade. I have seen the foolishness of man to a point wey I no care anymore. Freedom of choice also means having the freedom to make bad choices. But to expect me to help you clean up your mess, na there me and you go enter the boxing ring. Carry your cross yourself.

Most importantly, it reeks of a colonial mentality to see only the west as the destination for greener pastures. The world is so big and vast, that you can make it in most places. Brazil alone is a giant that is bigger and wealthier than ecowas combined, but nigeria has more population than it.

What about China? Colombia, even Russia? does it have to be the west, especially UK and US? This might sound like me being proud, but I can personally never suffer anywhere I go. I know one thing for sure, and it is that human need is universal. I will just look for something the world wants and offer that service. Cocacola for example is in all countries (well maybe except north korea), I will sell something similar, or food.

Or go into women hair, or transportation. If your eyes is open, there are so many things you can do, especially in a lawless country. I can make bread in my house and put a stand in a bus stop, and even police that should ask me for nafdac will buy my bread, and drink it with zobo I made. grin How can you cry of poverty in such system? You just lazy. Abroad for many is like giving themselves an impression of success, but it is not success. There are those born abroad and failure, so whats the point?

Everybody in every corner of the world likes Chicken and rice, I will open my first restaurant and maybe within the year, try and open ten more, and maybe 100 branches in the next three years, and dive into another related business like poultry and just keep growing. You can do this anywhere. It is a shame that Nigeria still imports foreign chicken. Instead of wasting 15M abroad, why not face that problem, in your land where you will be king? Where you will be the alpha male?

As a man, I know for sure that I need respect. In fact, the only time an immigrant should do menial jobs should be when they are a student, studying toward greater things, not as a mature man in his 30s, worse, 40s. Life would be hell. You will be so invisible, that all the fine girls and men that are successful will see you as someone they don't want to be friends with.

Fun fact, all the wealthiest black people in the world made their wealth in Africa. Not abroad, but in Africa. They may live abroad, but they made their wealth in Africa. What does that tell you?

I think if you have the required skills before leaving naija, you won’t come here to do menial job. My husband got a £47k job 10 days after we entered the UK. I also got a CS job with a bank even as a student. So it’s really worth it and we’re not even close to where we want be.We ditched our 400k job in Naija with no regret. You all should stop the narrative that everyone come here to do janitor or care plus people in those jobs here are treated better than people with white collar jobs in Naija.

I paid my tuition in full
pimpc007:
I am seeing you need only £9207 as your own proof, why is that? Have you paid full school fees? If you haven't paid full school fees it could be that the officer was supposed to add your outstanding schedule fees to the letter as why dependants were denied

There was no exchange rate quoted. What the said was £680 by 9 months
naijatisumi:



Bro even if you using 6120 for dependent you need to multiply it by 680. The ECO quote 680 as the rate being used and that 14M plus. Do the calculation and re-check the rate they quoted on that refusal letter

Please explain how you arrived at 14m +. Cause the last time I checked its 6120 for dependants and even if it’s 6300. The total is 21807 multiply by 600 is 13084000
naijatisumi:


Bro you need 9207 + 6300 + 6300

14,828,760

That’s what you need in your account

My own proof of fund is still in that account up until now. I didn’t touch it. I have 13,600,000 for the three of us. We applied same time. Did biometric same day too
naijatisumi:




Bro Administrative review won’t work here. Since you haven’t travelled yet you still need to show living expenses of 9207 in that same account so as to prove you have a well funded account. Even if you’ve paid a full school fees you still have to prove it since you are yet to travel. It would have been another case if you’ve travelled and have your BRP...so as to enable your dependent apply with same. That’s my opinion though

Please calculate how much a family of 3 needs. Note I have paid tuition in full.
vivvica:


This issue was addressed this week o . Submitting same account balance for dépendants within the same period . The money isn’t sufficient for the whole family and it can be seen that you submitted the same account balance within the same interval. As it is looking they already know this scope , either you have complete money and apply once or transfer the funds and let your dépendants count thier own 28days
Travel / Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 6 by vvansalam: 1:07pm On Sep 12, 2021
We actually applied together. I did priority and they did standard
1Hover1:
UKVI might have made a mistake here cause I don't see how £14k is less than £12k. I just think you should have applied together with the family since you already have the full funds for the whole family. I think UKVI is already suspicious of using the same account statement for different applications it raises a flag.

Please family applications HAVE YOUR MONEY, I repeat, HAVE YOUR MONEY, make the applications together, move together. It's easier, less problematic and less susceptible to it being flagged as SUSPICIOUS.
This issue is almost becoming frequent and UKVI is sure to notice it too.
Please go ahead and do your AR, I think you have a good case, like I said in the beginning, I don't see how £14k is less than £12k.

Good afternoon great minds! pls, I did my biometrics at Tls Abuja on the 19th of August 2021 and I got decision mail from ukvi on the 1st of sept, till this moment no collection mail from tls. Pls anyone with similar experience.

Dear Customer,

Your UK visa application has been issued.

PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THE VISA APPLICATION CENTRE BEFORE THEY CONTACT YOU.

You will be contacted by the Visa Application Centre when your documents are ready for collection, or have been dispatched via courier where this is relevant.

You are reminded that you should avoid making travel plans until you have collected your passport, as the outcome of your visa application is not final until you receive your passport.

Please ensure you check the details on your visa when collecting your passport. If you need to contact us you can do so via our International Enquiry Service at www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-outside-uk

Hello, I did my biometrics at TLS VI and I paid for the courier service. My passport was picked yesterday but I’m yet to receive a tracking ID.

Travel / Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by vvansalam: 11:21am On May 07, 2021
tahyorfrosh:


Please I don't want to be a bearer of bad news but as a student just remove your mind from using whatever salary you earn in the UK to pay tuition, it won't work. The reasons are;

1. As a student you're to work only 20 hours a week. That in itself has cut your earnings by half time.
2. From my experience, most UK companies want full-time. It took me months to get a company that will take part-time.
3. When you get here, you can't start work immediately because the quarantine will take two weeks of your time before you can get your BRP, then you have to do documentations like getting your National Insurance number that companies will use to pay you and it will be on your tax record. Mine took about 2 months. When you have all that sorted then comes the job search part, most students do menial jobs like care jobs (you also need to do a criminal check (DBS) before they employ you which might take 2-3 weeks) and warehouse jobs because those ones are in shifts and you can easily do your 20 hours.

All in all, your salary might pay for your accommodation, transport, and food but won't cover the rest of your tuition. So have a back up even if it is for the rest of your tuition and be ready for those long months before you get a job and start making money. It took me 3 months before I got an office job that will take part-time.

Good luck on your journey and be prepared!!!

But can you pay up if you go with your partner and he works full time?
