@spikesC

1. Ve you gotten any email stating your visa has been approved?

2. Ve you tracked your document via ukvac-ng.com?

sassybee:
Just 5 questions?..

Yes.

beautyuche:
Please where did she apply as I have been tracking only to see same old "your document have been sent to the british high commision" well I applied 14 july

Check your email. All student visa for UK are processed @ Abuja. You will receive a notification of approval once they are done with your visa application by email; den expect vfs to contact you for pick up in 3-5 working days.

cookies: Hello house , just a quick one please. Is dependants visa application fees same amount as the main (student) applicant ? I'm going with my 2 kids.

Yes. Dependants pay same visa fee as main applicant 530USD

It all depends on where your visa is being processed. If GHANA, you ref number will start from GHAN bla bla

You should always check your email for update from the ACCRAIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca & Do Not Reply - Ne Pas Repondre" <Client-update-mise-a-jour@cic.gc.ca for your medical instruction

After your medicals, if your application is successful you will get an email from Do Not Reply - Ne Pas Repondre" <Client-update-mise-a-jour@cic.gc.ca stating your visa has been approved.

Few weeks later, you will receive the final email from vfs for passport pick up.


NOTE: if you do not pass through these stages and your status indicates "it has been dispatched to vfs" its likely your visa application wasn't successful

dspy45:
To the house, to those who have gone thru the interview stage, what kinda questions do they ask?

SKYPE INTERVIEW

1. What course are you going for?
2. Why do you want to study that course?
3. Why did you choose that university?
4. Why did you choose to study in the UK?
5. What are your future plans upon graduation?

justwise:

You are not only expected to leave the money until the visa is out but to have to money available to you in the UK.

Withdrawing the money before the visa is issued or coming to the UK without the money is risky.

The list is ok but make sure that the account you will be submitting is in your name.

Hello,
@justwise
Thanks for the info. the statement of account(access bank) is in my name.

penfold:


In addition to what Justwise said,make sure the money in your account is sufficient for the balance of your tution fees and the maintenance funds and its there for 28 days. What I mean is this, you have paid 5000 GBP tution dep to the school,and u are adding another 5000 GBP to the 7,200 GBP maintenance,does that means that your tution is 10000 GBP? If it is no probs, If not then the balance has to be in your account.

@penfold
thanks to you, my tuition fees is 9650pounds

Hello,

@superbrian, cuddlemii and house pls make correction and pls advice me on what to do?
thanks, i ve sat, toefl
@house
pls help me out 2003-2010

Cuddlemii:

@bato,

I am a female but will answer your question tactically.

1) I am sure you should have relatives or egbons or friends who run their private companies even if its a printing press or sales outlet. You can claim to have worked with them and you get a company ID, CV, complementary card and employment letter. It could be a small company on your street, it could be a local IT training school for Computer Appreciation(all the excel, microsoft word etc. these are easy ones for you to defend). Dude, it can even be your uncles company or dad's registered company that has not started operating. The simplicity is safer.

2) I dont know if you are a christain or muslim( God forgive me). You can also claim to be a church worker that was in charge of the administration of the church or the PA to your pastor.etc. You were in charge of the graphics, computer, taping etc and the church paid you salary on a monthly basis

3) Then coupled with your qualification ( IT etc)


So its either you combine 1 & 3 OR 2 & 3. You must be composed, simple and apply your common sense thats why you should choose areas you can defend. Have a simple CV prepared too


Trust me the consular at this point wld respect your sincerity that u r not bragging abt working in a top company or so or claiming to have many cert but u told the truth and he or she would be sharp enough to know that based on the qualification u brought there, u cant be working in shell or chevron so atleast u kept urself busy rather than constituting a nuisance.


Consular: bato, what have u been doing from 2003 to 2010

bato: IT qualification and I work in a church as the techinal administrator

bato: IT qualification and I work in (see my nos 1 point)


Be as simple as ever so that too many question wont be thrown at you


So bato, why is this the time for you to go for an undergraduate degree

bato: Because the Nigerian economy is becoming more and more competitive everyday and in order to keep up I need an undergraduate degree from foreign credible university.

If you chose no 2( Pastor Orile who is my mentor has a masters from Ill state uni and this triggered my interest)

If you chose no 1( Mr Mark, my manager has an MBA from the US and gives preference to masters candidates from the US)- this shows u r planning to come back to work for Mr mark.

Best of luck!!!

I have more ideas but it would make my post lengthy

@superbrain
thanks, am scared of showing my degree, its ind. maths and from what i used to hear, when u tell them u have a degree here and want to go for another undergradute, na war!!!
@cuddlemii
I so much appreciate your idea and time, thanks alot
