Try to sort this loan from other sources, credit card cash advance should be your very last resort because it is not cheap and it has very dire consequences for your credit journey more importantly as you are just trying to find your footing. You don't want to start with such weight hanging around your neck.
All the best.

After a lot of research , I saw that getting justice for errors made by your case handler was not a very discussed topic . Not too many people had any proper information and those that did just mumbled everything into very lengthy write ups . I just ignored everything and decided to send a mail to UKVI . I just replied the rejection mail I received and I got a response on the steps to take to get a review , but they wouldn’t review it fast . But what did I have to lose na , so I applied for a review and made the payment, I attached all my evidences and just forgot about it . I was working one day and I saw a mail with an apology attached . Then I received a refund for the review application I sent in . Then I got another mail apologizing and asking me for an account to make a refund of my initial visa application and then another mail telling me that they had removed the visa refusal from my travel history . I was angry , disappointed, and just plain irritated. I informed the school about the reversal of the decision and they advised me to defer the initial admission so they could issue me a new offer . I got the offer , received an updated CAS and then proceeded to apply for a fresh visa . 7 days after , I received a mail that my passport was ready for collection. DHL delivered the very next day , I opened the package , opened my passport and I saw the VISA. I wasn’t excited , I didn’t feel any relief , there’s was no sense of conquering . I just felt blank . I’m in the UK now and I don’t feel any different. I still wish I could meet that case worker in person and just ask what he/she was thinking or drinking when handling my initial application . I just want to know if UKVI applied any sanction to the case worker for making such an error .

Anyway , I wish everyone applying for a visa the best of luck . And please put it at the back of your mind , it’s human beings reviewing your applications and they can make mistakes . And if you ask me , most of those decisions are taken At TLS . Just my thoughts .

See you all soon in the UK. God save the King !

Let me share my UKVI and visa experience with everyone , It could be useful to someone here.

It may be a long read but I hope the write up is as engaging as I have it in my thoughts . This happened to me personally and not a third party.


I decided to take the step to leave the country after so many years of loyalty and deep belief that Nigeria
would get better soonest . Well until last year when dollar rate took a very sad turn. I woke up one day feeling tired
and in desperate need to get out .
The fastest route , tier 4 visa was the go to path to leave Nigeria . I quickly applied for admission , secured it ,
placed money that I had saved over the years inside a savings account and waited for it to hit the 28 days mark.
As soon as that happened, I approached the aboki selling dollar at Diya street gbagada to buy some dollars for visa
application and IHS . I had done the TB test and everything was looking super.

I applied for the visa and the proceeded to TLS VI for biometrics , no single hitch . I was already preparing
myself mentally for the struggle involved with JAPA and readying my mind for study .

I was at home , just chilling and waiting for a collection mail , I mean I had crossed the Ts and dotted the Is.
days turned into weeks and weeks became a month plus , still no message . Worried about the development, I sent a paid mail
only to receive a response that a decision had not been made. I became quite disturbed and started looking for some
hope anywhere, visited nairaland severally to see if anyone had similar experiences.

Lo and behold, some people had the same experience but theirs was quickly resolved as they either got NSF mails, or mails for
collection. I kept the hope alive but it was flickering . Then boom, one day I received a mail , and the mail was from UKVI saying
that i underpaid IHS and that I should quickly pay the balance of 2800 dollars. I laughed because I felt it was a scam.
I mean how much is IHS gan gan sef that I will now pay that much . I ignored this email and continued waiting. It was now
2 months , still nothing . I sent another paid mail , next day , same IHS mail came in. I ignored it again and waited , and this happened
2 more times and next thing I saw was a comprehensive mail from UKVI rejecting my application .

I was broken, I felt I had lost all hope in life and I was distraught . I held my cool and then I opened up the mail. Only for me to see
that UKVI said I was a woman , going to join my husband who was a student as a dependent . Note that i am male and not a female son to my parents , so I was confused. When did i become a woman,
I ran to my application to confirm again , maybe I made a mistake , but my application was fine . AHHHH, it was already September , and
classes were starting in a week , I didn't know when I said "Egbami, this UKVI will not kill me ". I quickly started researching ways to seek
redress , because how ?

...to be continued .

I used my access credit card and the school got credited less 24hrs. I was charged about 3800usd as per Flywire exchange fee.
Get a CAC and obtain a card from ur financial institution.

(1) Use a prepaid dollar/pound/euro card from your bank—you could approach your bank’s in-branch customer service to request for one. You would need to fund the card at the bank with dollar/pound/euro bought from black market. Once done, you could use it online for payment.

(2) If you already have a domiciliary account before now, you could request for a dollar/pound/euro debit card on that account at the bank. If you don’t have a domiciliary account you could open one and request for a debit card on the account. Once issued, you would need to fund your domicilary account if there’s no/not enough money in it. Once done, you could use the card online for payment.



You decide.

amorprincesa:

IFSHR:


If you a dorm Account, visit your bank and ask you need a card for the account....

Mcleo007:



You need a dollar card. Naija cards don't work for international payments.

It is impossible to detect outside laboratory test. Some sicklers don't even know they're sicklers until a test is done to confirm it.

They are factors that affect the manifestation of the disease
1) phenotype
2) mean corpsular hemoglobin concentration
3) environmental factor
4) concentration of alpha and beta thalassemia
5) genotype - HbSS, HbSC, HbSArab, Hbalpha/beta thalassemia etc: each genotype have different disease manifestation

Note 1: At a higher altitude, HbAS start having painful crisis similar to sickle cell painful episodes.

Note 2: I am not a doctor nor a pharmacist nor a nurse nor a laboratory scientist. I am a patient
