Please guys where is a sure way to change naira to pounds cash? At MMIA?

Guys, what's the quickest way to get personal travel allowance at good rate?

Of course she can. But the payment has to reflect on your CAS, before starting visa application

ugomnaanny:

They're open right now.
What date exactly did you get the collection mail?

Uttii:


Yes. I got since last week.

I'd really love to know as well.
Have you gotten collection mail?

Uttii:
Pls can any one confirm if tls contact is opened in Victoria island ? Thanks.

Was it TLS VI or Ikeja?

pwettyhardey:

I'm in your shoes, I did October 13 and got decision mail on 16th, I have been expecting collection mail since.
I'm so tensed and tired as my school has resumed since 12th and I have to pay 50% fees to join class

Have you gone to TLS office?
I saw a post somewhere that talked about going to the UK embassy to make a complaint.

Phelixblaq:


You guys are not alone? I got decision mail on 9th and today 25th am still waiting for collection mail.. apparently thinking of suspending till January as lecture keeps coming left and right!

Please anyone?
What do I do regarding the lack of collection mail?

xander21:
Guys I need your advise.

I received decision mail (priority service) on the 15th October, up till now I haven't received a collection mail.
The tracker shows it hasnt been "Transferred to VAC" which I find odd.

I called on the 20th, the lady says I should wait till next week, that the priority only guarantees a decision will be made within 5 working days, but doenst guarantee delivery within the time frame. Which is rubbish!

I am aware the TLS offices are closed, but something should have happened at least. Does anyone have any idea when the offices will be open?

I intend to go to the UK embassy in lagos to make complaints next week, the moment offices open.

Contact them if you're going to miss it. There somewhere in their site that says if you miss it without good reason, it's for another 6 months. I'm not sure, but I recall seeing it.

cybsime94:
I have a question to ask...... Can I rebook for the TB test if I don't make the appointment given to me. Please I need answers.

Ibddon92:

Ibddon92:

2 years PSW is already in effect. Increase in tuition is for EU students. Not International.

Dosvedanie:


Someone made mention of possible increase in tuition by next year when the 2 years PSW takes effect. Not sure about it.

Anyone?

xander21:
Anybody for priority receive decision mail between wednesday and thursday for UKVI Pretoria and gotten a collection mail yet?
The online tracker hasn't even changed to transfered to VAC.

Lol.
I get it now. They're the same thing na. . Literally no difference. Your statement of purpose is personal to you. Abi?

Zoey1:
And Yes I know that.
UK schools don't ask for "Statement of Purpose"
The school, The High Commission NEVER.
UK uses "Personal Statement" that's my point.

Priority
Biometrics - 12th October
Decision Mail - Early this morning, 15th Oct. Dear xxxx, REF xxxxx. bla bla

No interview/complex mail or any of the sort.

How long does it take to finally know one's fate?

The OP was referring to application to the school itself, not Visa application.

Zoey1:
For records UK does not ask for statement of purpose, this isn't Canada travel
" Some schools" ask for Personal Statement and all the applicant needs is give the Interviewer a cogent reason why you switched backed up by CV.

Yes.
Certainly.
She can sell herself with a Statement of Purpose and her CV.

bamangar:
Hello everyone, someone studied Agric in the university but has been working in IT firm as IT specialist for about 3 years. She wants to do her MSc in IT related course in the UK. Will she stand a chance of getting DATA SCIENCE or any IT related course for MSc in the UK?

Waiting for a response

Sell yourself. Imagine it was an interview, or you're trying to impress a guy/babe.

Hello everyone,

I paid for priority for tls VI and booked appointment, but I only received payment notification mail for the TLS services and not the UKVI services (55 + 220 pounds). Is this normal? What indicates that I've paid for Priority? Going back to Amend appointment, Priority is no longer visible.

Thanks

Edit: Nevermind, notification has come. Thanks again

Wow. Thanks alot. I'll just chill then.

Hi,

There is a higher probability you may not be allowed in. There is usually a list they call at the entrance. Yes they are that organised.

Hi everyone,

Glad to see so many happy stories here. I'm still on mine. I have asked this question before, but havent gotten a clear answer. So I will try again.

My TB Test appointment date is for the 8th of October, I'm tempted to attempt walk-in, say this Friday. In the booking mail, they stated we are not allowed to come unless on the appointment date. Is that a recent directive, or its just standard and we can just attempt walk-in regardless?

Hi,

If we get a mail like this when booking, does this mean that they have stopped walk-in at an earlier date?

(you can choose any other date while registering if there are no slots available for your given date, but your appointment remains as stated above. If you come any day that is not your appointment day, you will not be let in for your medicals).

You can book via phone or online but I feel it's the online that matters based on my experience.
I booked them on phone and I was given a farther day, when I tried booking online with the link sent to my mail, I got a closer date.
So I went on the date I got via online. I was thinking I won't find my name when they were calling us in since it's a different date I was given when I called.

The people that came and haven't booked online were told to do so and even pick a date thats far, that they will change it for them to today.the workers were hammering on booking online that day

I hope this helps

Good morning everyone, Is walk-in for TB Test before the appointment data acceptable? How often does one get lucky with it?

Does anyone know if Medical Health Assessment Centres will be affected by the NLC strike?

Thanks Dami for these responses.

My uncle is for all intents and purposes my father because my dad died when we were at an early age. He paid for my education from primary school right through to university. He opened an account I can have default power of attorney over in the long term - if he is indisposed. Is this good enough reason?

dami24:


1. You can do it either way tbh.

I will advise you go ahead and submit your visa application and then choose a date that falls after 8th of October for biometrics.... if anything is wrong with your Tb test, you just cancel your visa application and you will get your refund

For me, my Tb test was scheduled for 11th September, I submitted my visa application on 4th September and I chose 14th September for my biometrics.

Just ensure that if you are using self service, you do not mistakenly submit your documents when you don’t yet have your Tb certificate.

For sure, it is usually better to have all your documents ready before you submit your visa application, but in this case, there is really nothing to lose. If you are unable to get your certificate on 8th, you just cancel your application or you can even amend your biometrics date.

2. People usually have joint accounts with whoever for several reasons, so if the reason you have a joint account with your uncle has nothing to do with your application then just go ahead and tell them the reason you do if they ask.

I don’t think there is anyway to prove the percentage of the money that is yours, I’m not sure, however, just ensure that at-most half of the money in the account added to that in your personal account meets the required fund for your maintenance and tuition balance, if any.

Yes, the school allowed us to start enrolment online. We are almost rounding up with the first course and submitting assessment. They are giving us till 9th November to come into the country.

You mean you are studying online with the university while waiting to apply for visa?

Thanks for these questions.

Account carries my name yes. It is written on the account statement. I can sign. The bank should be able to issue a reference letter I believe, I can ask for it as well. Can I alone withdraw? no

I totally understand the other way would have been the best approach. I understand that now.

whuzmhan:


Does the account also carry your name?
Is your name boldly written on the account statement?
Can you sign on the account?
Can the bank issue you a reference letter, stating you have rights and access to the money in the joint account?
Can you alone withdraw on the account as per the signing instructions on the account?
In my own opinion, I feel you should check the questions above and be convinced within yourself

NB: This is solely your call, and the decision is solely yours to take.

The best approach however, still remains you transfer the money into your account and WAIT!!!!
Talking about deadlines, if you dont do your due diligence, you might still have to wait if refused
so weigh your options very well.................

I have paid 3000 pounds. I have started the program online for now.

justwise:


Have you paid for tuition fees?

I totally understand you, and I really appreciate your responses. The challenge now is moving to to my personal account would definitely mean I have to wait another 28 days, and that I definitely wont meet up on the last day of visa issue date. for context, 4 million out of the 7m there is definitely for my education. The combined acount statement actually exceeds the finanical requirements. The rest of the required funds is my personal account.

justwise:


Bros if you want to have stress-free application avoid using an account co-joined with an uncle, you have to dig deep to explain how much of that money belongs to you and to your uncle AND if your uncle is happy for you to spend his money for your education.

I understand its a burden that's why I am even asking. I would have transferred the money immediately to my personal account, but that would reset my 28 days validity down to zero. I figure giving a sound explanation should be easier. School has resumed already, I've just been attending classes online.

inphoenix:


You are correct, but consider the burden of having to explain why you have a joint account with your uncle to an Entry Clearance Officer and the proof that it wasn't created with the sole purpose of getting the visa?
