Don Oms, what has happened here is that Nigeria just recently lost ' accreditation ' for carrying out both toefl n gre tests, the reasons for this hasn't been made clear but could likely be due to cheating at some centers. So apparently this is what is affecting some people's results.
@ Kellyemms, I believe UKBA will know about this and being their usual thorough/ killjoy self, they will use every opportunity to refuse u a visa. if u ask me,dy may even be looking out for applicants from Nigeria with Toefl. You can either risk it by going ahead to apply and hoping they won't detect it or mentioning it in ur interview. But instead of risking your 80k on rejection, why not register for pearson now with 37 k and and get ur results almost immediately. The ukba accepts it, so does EVERY school in the UK even though u may not see it on their website. (You must realise that d more time u waste, then d less likely u' ll get an agreeable date for the exam cos toefl is no more there so every1 will b rushing for ielts n pte, so d earlier u make up ur mind d better)
You then send d result to ukba n u can explain explain during ur interview why u r providing a pte instead of the toefl written on ur cas ( u can include d toefl print out too). You may also want to mail ur skl n ask for the pte score they accept, but if u aim for a least score of 75, dt wud b good for ANY school as most skls require a score of 59.

i just hope they will not detect it

Don Oms:
My brother (or sister), I'm sorry I cannot answer your question directly. The UKBA are not predictable, trust me, so don't assume tuey won't verify (especially when you submit an online print off version). Let's hope some other people who understand this issue come online and help you out. And by the way, how did your school verify it? And did you ask TOEFL if UKBA had the means to verify your result despite the centre issue?

i applied to my skul around september, i could stil find my result online den, so im sure my skul verified dis bfore i was given an offer. But now i cant find it online anymore and it d toefl dat was written in my cas. i will b goin for january intake for msc. i notified my course admission officer to reissue me another cas to include olevel and not the toefl, he said the cas had been already sent to ukba.......i just hope the vo dnt really check the toefl wen i go for visa interview. And also will i b given my documents back immediately after the interview and also if an applicant is successful in the visa application is it during the interview the vo will notify the applicant that he is successful?

What is going to happen. To those of us who took our test last year And got the original report. Sent over via normal post? A test taken already. Since. Last year August. Is expected to last for 2years.

Hv u checked to see if ur result is still available online?

kellyemms: i just hope they will not detect it

If u hv made up ur mind to go ahead, then d earlier d better so that if u r refused, u' ll hv time to reapply.

That's a good explanation and advice for kellyemms. I just don't understand why Nigerians are causing these 'problems' for us all.

My friend Ochukoccna don come again. Even if I don't want to laugh, I must laugh. I'm sure your wife will love you specially except she doesn't have a sense of humour...lol.

I now understand your situation. Miz_Gene has given you a good advise though, and I advise you take it. I guess you don't want to take a new test, right? You appear to be a risk taker, but I implore you to risk wisely then. I guess it takes time before they send original test scores and that's why you don't have it.
As for your question up there in bold, you will not be given your documents immediately as it's part of the whole application and you will only receive them back with your passport after your application has been assessed. You can only know about the outcome of your application after you have received your processed application (after 3-15 working days).
When is your scheduled interview date and are you still going ahead to submit the print-off TOEFL result?

i am thinking of submiting the online toefl print copy.

kellyemms: i am thinking of submiting the online toefl print copy.

Na u get ur hand bro.. hurry up n give us feedback

kellyemms: i am thinking of submiting the online toefl print copy.

Okay. Although you didn't mention your interview date as I asked but I will go ahead to share this: Since you are planning to submit the online version anyway, I advise you to give them a reason not to deny you visa because of it. If you still have the time, mail your school and tell them to send UKBA an extra information about your situation. Hopefully, they will. On top of that, write a short introduction letter and explain the indefinite suspension by ETS (which UKBA will be aware of anyway) and state the possibility of difficulties in verifying your result due to the suspension. Let them know your school has verified it and it is original.
It is still your choice and you may choose not to notify them of the issue. I just think it may be worth it in the end. All the best and do let us know how it goes.

Hi Jen! It's been a while. ETS (TOEFL/GRE) gave Nigerian centres indefinite suspension so it is not possible to take the exams in Nigeria at the moment.

madeit2thetop: oct 9th and still no response from this people mehn this is crazy

Did you call UKBA yet? Like Miz Gene advised, it's a good idea to visit VFS or call them.

The truth is that there's 10% chance of international students staying back to work in the UK, with most recent changes students are not allowed to study in the UK for more than 5years.

I'm not sure about that information about certain courses that allow people remain in the UK. I believe you are in the UK, right? The new Tier-4 (PBS) visa allows you study here and after your study, either go home or advance in studies in the UK. However, if you get a job after your studies, you can apply for a class of visa whereby your employer will have to sponsor it (the visa). Now, no course can guarantee any job as there are many factors involved. However, some jobs have higher chances than others.
