GVA: Thanks everyone. I picked up my visa today at Ikeja. I got the mail on Sunday and had my interview on the 25th. I forgot my collection slip at home and went there with a printout of the email only for the security man to ask for my slip. I couldnt even recollect what the collection slip looked like. Had to race back home pick it up and then go back to VFS Ikeja. We bless God. For all those still waiting for theirs, you would get it soonest IJN. Anyone going to Lancaster/Manchester Uni? God bless Justwise, donoms, spikesC amd Worry359

Then finally, my maintenance fee is 10,800pounds, I kept 3,000,000naira in my account, but at d end of d month d bank taxed d money making it 2,999,617naira...

Congratulations!

justwise:

That deposit is part of your school fees, so if you can't afford it how then can you afford the whole fees and maintenance money?

Ishilove:
Thank you sir. More power to your elbow

Dt03:

Thanks so much on your contribution.... I have a lot of things to do with money I don't have too much money at the moment, I am just asking if it is possible

justwise:

Did you apply together with your wife?

Bambamzzzz:

i applied alone but she will apply for her own at the end of the month

santhu123:

The first interview will be a video conference with someone from Sheffield or the embassy. It will happen in the VFS visa application center if you are applying with VFS.

The video interview will last around 10 minutes. Following are the questions they asked me.

1) Tell me your name, DOB and Nationality.

2) Tell me the name of your course.

3) Why did you chose UK to study ?

4) Why did you chose this university ?

5) Why this particular course and how you think it will suit you ?

5) How this course will benefit you in your future ?

6) Have you ever travelled to the UK before ?

7) What are you going to do for accommodation ?

If they need additional details or have any doubts, they will call you for a face to face interview in the Embassy.

You should pay the visa application fee online at visa4uk website when you submit your application & book appointment online.

Please visit www.oanda.com (the British embassy use this to convert your money to GBP) and check if the minimum amount you have in the bank for 28 days is equal to the money you need for the course and living. However, ECO will take the conversion rate on the date of your application.

Additionally, you may also consider taking a print out of the conversion in oanda.com on your application date and submit with your application. But it is not mandatory.

Hope this helps.

Nageo: Good day all,

Big kudos to all those that has really made this thread very informative.

I've been following this thread as a guest for sometime but decided to signup so as to enable proper interaction.

I recently got an offer at Sheffield Hallam University, the tuition fee is 9150 (12150 - 3000, discount given to Nigerians) plus maintenance fee of 7380, making it a total of 16530 . With the initial deposit of 1000 as requested by the school, my CAS was sent and I applied for visa on 2nd sept 2014.

My dad can sponsor my stay in Uk effectively but I can't afford to start counting my 28days as the school's intial start date is 15 sept 2014, so we got a sponsorship letter from my local government stating that the sum of 4.5m would be made available to me as soon as the visa is issued.

Do I have to relax that the visa will be approved and issued?

Please I need your thoughts and insight on this.
Thanks.

mhoreh:
