emmy78: Hello house,
I want to find out whether tuberculosis test is a requirement of uk tier 4 (general) student visa in Nigeria.
Thanks in anticipation of your prompt response.

No, not a requirement.

NaijaIhail:

Yes! I wish to go for either War Studies, Conflict Studies or Criminology. Although, I will be going to London for a short course soon and by the Grace of God, I will stay for 2months so I will visit some college and universities but before then, your info could help and stop the stress of touring the schools.

Prof. Justwise have helped with some useful and helpful info tho....

Okay, with those courses your search has been narrowed down considerably.

SAT1: Hello peeps,

How easy it is for one to change a course within the same department say: from Electronics Engineering to Control Engineering) after getting to d UK, may be during the first month of classes? Would one loose anything for doing such? What are d procedures?

No.
Your CAS number given to you is linked to the specific course you have applied for.

NaijaIhail:

wow! Since you don't submit it, I am considering myself lucky to get someone like you.....please which school did you apply to?

Please and please.....kindly lemme know as this will greatly assist me. Please sir!!!

I think I should clarify that it also depends on the course you want to do. Most schools do require IELTS or TOEFL. What course do you want to do? That should be the most important thing.

NaijaIhail:

Abeg Bro! You didn't attach TOELF or any other english test or your school didn't request for it?

No I didn't attach any of those. Some schools require it, others don't.

jubel:

My funds is in my account.£7200+£1000 tuition balance.I was meant to apply on the 9th but it has been rescheduled to 15th of aug according to what I read on Vfs website.I printed my statement on the 7th of Aug.So am just waiting for 15th to come so I can apply.
I am not working at the moment.

Okay that's good then, well your checklist should include:
1. VAF9 Form printout (Attached with one passport photo)
2. Appendix 8 Form
3. International passport (Include old passport, if any)
4. School Certificate/Transcripts
5. WASSCE certificate
6. Letter of acceptance from school
7. CAS statement
8. Bank statements (You can also include oanda.com currency converter printout -that is if your funds are in Naira)
9. You can also include a short personal statement like I did.

I hope that helps. All the best!

jubel: @aristocrat,thnks for your response earlier.Sorry to bring this up again.Could u pls list the documents you submitted.Just wanna use it to crosscheck mine.Thanks

Hello, oh you are welcome.
Before I answer that, are your funds in your own account or a sponsor's account? Are you working at the moment? Documents you will submit varies, so let me know so i can give you a direct answer.

SAT1: Congratz man. ...........how long did u wait from your application date?

Thank you man!

It was 18 working days to be exact, from application date.

ozstone: Good day peep. Nice forum. Pls I ll like to know how u can tell from the message you were sent that your visa was successful.

You can't tell.
Until you go there to collect your package.

MicSmith: Pls i need advice. The day of birth on my waec result isn't correct. Its 9 instead of 19. The month and year is correct. Should i do something about it? There is a spelling mistake of my name on my birth certificate from population commission. Should i get another one ? I got it in 2011. Will it be a problem if i get one so close to when i want to apply ?

Thanks in advance

Incorrect DOB on your WAEC might pose a problem.
The month and year is correct. But what about the day? That's important too! But what steps have you taken to rectify this problem before now? You might need to get an affidavit, and maybe a letter from WAEC stating that the DOB error was a mistake from their end and that the correct date is so...and so.

For your birth certificate, just do a court affidavit.
All personal details on your passport should match your other documents.

All the best.

PLEASE AM NEW TO THIS FORUM, HAVE BEEN A FAN OF THIS FORUM AND I MUST SAY THANK YOU TO THE ADMINISTRATOR AND AUTHOR OF THIS FORUM. A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN TRACE THEIR SUCCESS STORIES TO THIS PAGE. AM CURRENTLY PROCESSING MY UK STUDY STUFF. I WILL BE MAKING APPLICATION NEXT WEEK. I WILL LIKE TO GET SOME POSSIBLE QUESTIONS THAT WILL BE ASKED DURING INTERVIEW SO I CAN PREPARE BEFORE THE INTERVIEW. WITH FAITH I KNOW I WILL BE BACK HERE TO GIVE THE GOOD NEWS AND ALSO SHARE SUCCESS POINTS TO ALL THOSE IN NEED OF HELP. I WILL BE GOING TO UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHWALES, WALES.. TRESFOREST CAMPUS. IF THERE IS ANYBODY GOING FOR SAFETY, HEALTH AND ENIVRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT.. OYA... MAKE WE ALIGN...GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

When next week? Have you booked an appointment, and are you aware that appointments for 8&9th August has been rescheduled for 15th next week, so be sure to go there early enough whichever way to avoid long waits.

Now to your question, here are some questions i was asked at my own interview.
1. Your name
2. The programme you are applying for and the start date.
3. The course and uni you finished from.
4. Why did you chose your programme of study.
5. Why did you chose the particular school.
6. What's the relevance of your programme of choice to your previous course.
7. How will this programme benefit you.
8. What is the address of your school/which campus will you be studying.
9. Any families/relations in the UK.
10. If yes, give their names.
11. Did you understand all the questions you were asked.
Etc.

Conclusion: Know the name of your programme, the start date, what campus you will study, why you chose the course/school, how the course will benefit you, and you should be okay.
P.s: You might be asked more questions, like where you will be staying, your sponsor's info, your course structure, your plans after masters, etc (I wasn't asked all that).

Just be confident, you can talk for as long as you want but its better to make it short and precise.
All the best!

jubel: Goodafternoon.
Pls could anyone book an appointment for a Tier4 student visa between 12th-14th August?
Thanks for your response.

You can only confirm that from the Uk-vac website, available dates for booking will be displayed when you want to schedule your appointment. From experience, booking dates tend to get filled up quickly, as this is a very busy period for Tier 4 student visa applicants. Try it, and if you don't get the date you want, pick the next best date available.
I hope that helps.

justwise:

Congratulations, were you called for an interview?

Thank you, appreciate that.
I did my interview same day I submitted!

Hello guys.
I got my Visa today (friday, public holiday), apparently the Visa center opened to only those collecting their package. I was sent a text message on Wednesday morning (Day 18) to come for collection.

Thanks to all the people that have taken time to post here, most especially Justwise -you are providing a selfless service, many thanks for that.

My school starts in September, so looking forward to that!

I would be glad to offer advice and or answer questions regarding the application process. All the best guys!!
