Pls @ Ribadu how did you sort this out, my spouse indicated same thing, pls guide me on how to go about this.. Expecting ur feedback or if you can respond to my email, let's connect from there, thank you.

fetomowo:
This needs to be stressed out more than once. If you don't have money for living expenses. Please go to a university that you can afford.

It may help if your are coming with family - a spouse that can hustle full-time.

Spread out your program for two years by doing a two year masters. In that case you can legally work 20 hours per week spread over the time period. Then you can also have two summer breaks if you have a January start (this maybe a better time if you really need the work to support your finance). Once for September start. Summer breaks usually span 3-4 months anytime between April-September depending on your school.

During summer breaks as well as between your course end date and graduation date you can work as much as your body will allow you.

Again, don't go to cities that are costly. You will struggle to pay bills. You will have no savings and most probably you won't be able to complete your tuition payment. (An advice - don't start sending money to Nigeria, save your money in the UK, keep a low profile. It's not yet time to start doing Father Christmas.)

Post Study Work Visa is not guaranteed. You can be eligible and still not get it. So you must have other plans. While you are in the UK, take the opportunity to get US visit visa (this is very important for old people - those in their 30s and above), you can look at Canada and Australia for skilled immigration, if you are pretty young (early twenties) or you are young (late twenties and early thirties) and have a family.

Those of you that like to abuse opportunities thinking no one is watching you. Better believe it the UK have your records o. Una go collect contract phone Una nor go pay. You dey owe council tax after your finish school. May be your case don dey with magistrate sef. If you are interested in PSW na to behave yourself properly o. Nor chook hand for wetin some other Naija people dey do o. Your own route is PSW, do only what will not affect your chances. You and person wey dey file for Refugee status nor be the same thing.

Another option is to do another Masters, if you've saved up. Or continue on a PhD. This need not be in the UK. If you have the money consider continental Europe, Republic of Ireland, Germany, Austria, Netherlands etc.

By all means, make sure you are not returning to Nigeria the way you left. Well that is if jakpa is your ultimate goal. Have plan A, B, C, and D. If life happens to A, you switch to B. Start planning now!


I hope I have spoken well.

Hello house, I really need ur candid advice , just received an offer from uk, pls I want to relocate with my husband and children. Pls can I use my mum account statement for our
visa Applications, if yes , another problem is that my mum surname is not same as mine as she is using her father's name as surname , pls , is it true that my birth certificate showing her name as my mother will take care of that? Really don't know what to do and transferring funds takes another 29days bf I can use it ? Pls , has anyone ever used mother account statement with different surname for student visa and dependent visa? Your input will be appreciated, thanks.

You can write your school and explain to them.They will remove certificate from documents to be uploaded on your CAS and update it with only statement of result..




Ok thank you , though it’s confusing right now kos on my CAS , they mentioned “bachelor of Law , (then my uni’s name ) . During my application, I submitted my statement of result ,student transcript copy and attestation letter (from my undergraduate uni) kos they took back my certificate, there was an error in it , and they had not returned it at the time I made the application .

@justwise kindly help look into this . Thank you

Wahala, my birth certificate doesn't carry either of my parents name as it is gotten from the NPC, can it be binding?

I finished service last year doesn’t mean I graduated last year , I was taking my time in my doings

Bukolami22:
Good day everyone, please I would appreciate your response and guidance as regards this because I don't want to make any error that will affect the visa application.

We are newly married (legally) and I'm applying as a dependant on my husband, my question is,

Can I apply for the visa using my HUSBAND'S surname?
NOTE my international passport and TB certificate
bears my father's name. All change of name processes have been concluded.

hustla:




I am honestly wondering why a lot of people are choosing 1yr courses.. Some are even going to London and I'm wondering how they'd do it without funds from back home

It'd be hard to pay fees with regular work hours


Better to go the legal way in UK/EU than be illegal in the US though. The PR option for AU/Canada is a much better option though

Ok just anxious

Preshyi:
I think he is right, a wrong answer may not affect the decision but the question is about previous application.

Crenzywilliams:
What's the minimum amount I need to have for a UK student visa to be approved and what's the minimum number of days it needs to be domiciled in my account?

Chadon007:


Please @justwise,
I have a very pressing question.
I have an aunt in UK who I didn't declare as Family in UK during my student visa application. Mind you I used her address as UK address for TB test but I chose my school address in my visa application and said No when asked if I will stay in another location in UK. Also, she was the one that paid for my IHS and visa fee with her card.
Now, I did my biometrics ( standard) on 27th July and got not straight forward mail on 6th Aug.
Please, as I prepare for an interview should I be called, how do you recommend I answer the question of " if I have a family in the UK".
NB: Aunt and Uncle was not among the options listed as close family in the visa application.

Tolvin:
Don't entertain negative thoughts. I got my passport back without a decision i.e. no vignette nor refusal letter. Like just blank. Sent a paid email to them already though. Please be optimistic

justwise:


You should have answered Yes to that question but there is nothing you can do about it now, if you got all other requirements right then i don't think you will be refused because of that single mistake

@kayalade123: have you gotten your CAS? Some of us have been � for you!
