Please does anybody know, how online payment is going to be for UK visa payment as from next week monday because I can only apply next week when my 28days money is matured and i don't have a domiciliary account to do so Or Is there going to be e-wallet site to do so for fresh applicants?

I think you'd still be able to pay with your Mastercard and any other cards they permit.

Btw is it wrong to submit your application before you print the statement cuz I applied 3 days before I printed my statement.

Right. U can pay with ur Mastercard, d only thing being that dey will use d dollar rate for d day u pay so will find dt ppl pay slightly different fees..
Since u must pay online, pls do not submit / pay before ur 28 days is complete cos d ukba considers d date of payment as d application date so just chill till ur 28 days is up before doing d online payment.

I didn't pay online, I paid today at the VAC, but I submitted my application online three days before I printed my statement, is anything wrong with that. Secondly, they didn't take my Vaf9 form.

No, nothing wrong with what u did, ur vaf9 form is d one u submitted online so if hand filled anoda vaf9 form dy won't need dt.

Are u saying NORMAL Naira ATM Cards can do the payment despite the dollar payment required?

Why would your VAF9-App8 form be returned to you without submission with other documents? That can be risky and lead to delay if not worse.

What is the most advisable thing to do concerning accommodation?
Should I go ahead and make arrangement for the whole 52 weeks or I should just settle for the minimum contract available pending my arrival then I can make an informed decision concerning my accommodation?
I intend staying in an ensuite accommodation and can't seem to find any available in my school hostel.
I am asking you this question coz am guessing we are both heading for Salford.
Kindly advise as far as accommodation is concern.
I need a nice accommodation and won't mind if it is private but must not be above the schools price range.

Actually started my program in salford, I wouldn't advise you sign up for any contract until u get see the apartment. The best is u stay in a hotel for say 2/3 days while u sort out accommodation issues.

I paid my tuition online. It is the easiest means possible and probably the cheapest. Gave them my card details and voila my tuition was paid instantly.

They are offering 6 in a flat all female accommodation. What is the average rate of a private hostel with my own toilet and bathroom? Any good suggestions amongst the school's hostels or private accommodations? I was actually hoping to live in a 2 or 3 bed flat at John Lester court. As a female I value my security a lot and may end up in the school hostel considering it is more secured.
My folks are nt gonna take the argument of a 3days hotel stay well o. I will try and sell it to them though.

Mine was also returned. It seem to be the new "policy".
The lady took a look at it and returned it saying it is not needed.
Same with other tier 4 applicant I know.
Actually, I noticed that almost everything on the Appendix 8 form was covered on the online Vaf9 form I filled. I assume the form has been updated to cover information needed on the Appendix 8 hence no need for a paper version.
The recent upgrade to the website may account for this new procedure.
As long as they returned the form themselves at the vfs centre I do not see any problem with that.

@miz Gene
Did u submit your Appendix 8 form? It seem those who submitted post website upgrade had their appendix 8 forms returned. Just trying to know if you had same experience.

They returned mine too. Don't think you have anything to worry about. I even insisted and the lady stood her ground saying it is not needed.
Where did u submit yours?

i don't think so,the new online application requires u to supply all d details on appendix 8 on just 1 form which u will fill online. d lady can testify to this. can i snap passport photogragh at uk visa application centre?

how do i get to uk visa application centre in 16 billingsway oregun industrial area ,ikeja? which of the documents do i need to photocopy while going for the interview?

Pls is it important to submit documents on previous refusals (visa refusals) to Uk or any other country as part of supporting documents for tier4

Yes you can it goes for N1500.

It depends on where you are going from. But wherever, get a bus going to ojota, ask the conductor if they would pass Oregun, if they would, stop at Oregun bus stop and take a keke to billingsway, if they won't pass through oregun, just get to ojota, take a keke going to Oregun, and tell them you are going to embassy... I think. You won't have a problem getting there, just go in plenty of time incase you get lost.

Photocopy everything except the vaf9 form and including the data page of your passport, print your CAS too and appointment letter, they collected mine. Take your passport photographs at home, my passports were rejected cuz my ears were hidden and I had to take another inside the VAC, its ridiculously expensive.

CAS letter not mandatory. You can decide to put or not to put it won't affect the decision to issue you visa.
Your cas letter is just a reference point for you. The embassy doesn't need the letter as all that is required is the number which you have filled online already. They can pull up all the information they need using the number only.

She specifically requested my CAS letter while she was putting my documents in the bag. I remember thinking what if I hadn't printed it, and I had only printed it the night before as an afterthought. Its better to be over prepared than under prepared.

Call the finance department and request to pay via credit card. It is that simple.
They will ask for your card details and that is all. Payment will be done and confirmed while you still remain on the line. I was sent a confirmation receipt after the transaction.
Just call your school and ask to speak to the finance department or whoever is responsible for accepting payments.
They will be glad to assist.

Trust me she was just doing overkill. Cas letter is NOT mandatory. The lady who checked mine didn't request for it though I had it with me.
Nevertheless, whatever works for you.

My appendix8 form was collected oo n I applied last week Monday at Lekki
