I submitted at VI..

Optimally:
TLS ikeja or VI?
You can go through UKVI site and be redirected to tls website where you can then track your application

Deering1008:
This is the longest 3 weeks of my life. I did biometrics for standard application on 7th of June but haven’t received collection mail from TLS till now & couldn’t track application on TLS website too. Anyone been in my shoes?

Success is on the way. Have faith!!!

Talking about sponsorship, can one be sponsored by his elder brother to study in the uk as the father is late or must it strictly be parents? @justwise @all please.

No! You are fine wether you add to it or not.


Let me state this here cos I see a lot around conversion rate. When you set aside money for 28 days. Go to OANDA and print your conversion rate.

Back in 2013, when I applied, the money I set aside for 28 days didn't cut it by the 28th day. Exchange rate had taken off a bit out of it. There was no time to do another round. So what I did was to print the OANDA rate on the day I set aside the funds. It was clearly the requires amount.

The officials are not unreasonable people. I think it was 2017 that exchange rate pulmet to unthinkable levels, I gave this hack to someone and he got his visa like I did.

No matter how much buffer you have, if the Naira goes on free fall, it won't cut it. Hence, what's most important is the currency equivalence on the first day you start counting your 28 days. Ensure it is what is required.

Hello Good people,

Please help me with this:

My school is Birmingham City University.
The school fee is GBP13,200
I got scholarship of GBP1500
I paid deposit of GBP3000
BALANCE FEE DUE NOW= 8,700GBP
Maintenance fund = 9,207GBP

Total Fund required= 17,907GBP.

Now, I have set aside NGN10,850,000.

My school agent is asking me to add another N500k. Although he confirmed that I have excess of only N500k based on the above Naira amount above in my account. However, he prefers I should have excess of N1M. So I should look for additional N500k and add to make excess funds N1M. His argument is that Naira is falling against the GBP so I should build a stronger buffer against FX rate.

Please good people would this excess amount in anyway affect my chances of getting visa approval?

Lolls, i did biometric on 3rd of june standard application and i have not received a collection mail as well but i could tract my application since the day i did biometric by login through the ukvi link sent to me when i started my visa application which us telling me that the application has been received by Decision making committee, i have aslo received an e mails that my applicatuin has been sent to Ukvi since 3rd of june.
So try and tract it from the login page but the waiting part........

You heard wrong.
All payments are made online, with a debit/credit card (not naira denominated).
Unless you find a friend/family member to pay cash to who will then use their foreign currency-denominated card to make the payment for you.

Hello, I just started my application for my family and I want to know how I can link my son's application to my wife's!

This is because my wife's application says when I tried to pay for IHS that she has no dependants?

How do I go about this pls!

Note: I am in the UK

You cant link your wife's application to your son's.
You link your wife's application and your son's application to yourself, using your visa number.
And yes, the IHS window will say she has no dependants, just proceed.

Thanks alot.

Another thing is when filling my son's application, the address needs to be 2years but he's less than two and the system won't let me proceed. Is there a way around that

Please dears

No idea, but someone's brought that up here and its been answered, so you'll have to check for that.

hello house, please which school does not require me to apply through UCAS and also does not need IELTS for their undergraduate course?

temmysammy:
Good day my good people, pls I would like to know how soon can one leave once I have my visa, can I leave like 4-5months before my study date.

Your visa will carry a validity date & that’s the earlier time you can leave … it’s usually a month before your course start date.

If you’re paying with a dollar card nope. Some were charged $512 for visa fee, I was charged $514
Exchange rate!

Good

I beg to differ!
They’re reasonable not sentimental.
Where possible, add enough buffer! We have seen people be refused for this exact same thing so why take chances.

Many schools tell your explicitly that the amount required must not drop, not even for a second and then you’re saying it’s the day you set aside. THATS NOT TRUE! I can agree with the day you submit but not the day you set aside….

Again, where possible, add more money to your POF to be on the safe side. In may, we literally saw the rise and fall of the naira even on Oanda.

For dependents, visa expiry date is the main applicant's course end date

Preshyi:
Please what is the answer for Visa expiry date for main applicant when filling the dependant visa. I haven't gotten a Visa yet. Urgent please

£705 + £348 = £1,053 (pounds card)

1,053 x 1.5 = $1,580 (Approximately) (dollar card)

just add like $100 just to be on a safe side. However, ensure you have calculated your IHS well using the IHS Calculator..follow the link below:

https://www.immigration-health-surcharge.service.gov.uk/checker/type

I was charged ¢750.38 and £370.72 for ihs and visa fee respectively . Used a pound card.

Hi AA,

Congratulations! Hope it is not too late to congratulate you? You have really done well for yourself despite the setbacks.

I am following same route and submitted my application for Msc. under BCU on 12th of June, hoping it is not too late to meet up September 2021 entry. I have no idea when i will get the offer but i am being positive about it. My present concern is all these delays peepz are experiencing and the timing of my application.

However, i would like to engage you for continuous guidance considering your experience. We could do via personal mail if you do not mind.

Thank you so much.

While it looks like there’s no time, there’s still some time. How long does BCU take to get out offers? Is it just BCU you applied to ?

In the interim you can check out your options
Book a tentative date for TB test online
Start putting aside your funds now

The reason I say this is, if you’re fortunate enough to get an appointment for your TB Test for July end, it’s still decent time. Once your offer is out & you have your funds counting and test date
The rest is going to be smooth.

This your response gives joy to my soul.

International Passport, Evidence of payment (Hardcopy), Nose mask. TB fee is #58,700.

Or you mean 57,800 for adults And 23,120 for infants.

Wawu!!! Interesting. is it that the cost has changed or UKVI is just been funny or your bank is the funny type

Lol…. But it’s true. Let’s not confuse reasoning with sentiments. How can you tell someone that it’s the day 1 of when they set the money aside that matters.
Anyone who follows that advice should not be shocked when refused.

Well done for all the good work you do here by the way!

What's their initial deposit and is it full payment before enrollment?

university of Salford is 15k but u will get 3k discount if u have a 2:2 in ur 1st degree or 3,500 if u have 2:1

Relax.

He’s actually right. As long as the money doesn’t drop a naira below your opening balance for the whole 28 days , then it’s fine.
