Hello,

The option for student with scholarship section exists during visa application?

What options are there?

Does it hasten the process when you choose that?

Do you have a screenshot?

Maybe this is recent, advise please so others can learn

Hi Duches,

It does exist ooo. You can confirm

Hello Everyone,

I studied Mechanical Engineering in my first degree...graduated with 2.1 in 2009. I have also done my master degree still in Mechanical Engineering.

However, after my undergraduate program, I got a job as a cybersecurity officer in a Bank and I have been in the banking industry ever since. I have done some information security certifications like Sec+, CEH, CISM.

My problem is that I am confused on what part to follow;

1. Should I start from Master Mechanical Engineering

2. Should I go straight for PhD

3. Or should I continue with Cybersecurity?

I got some information that it would be difficult to get VISA if I go for Cybersecurity because it's different from my first degree..."Lack of career progression".

Please I need guidance from experienced members

Depends on what you like

Since you have experience, u won't have visa issues if you apply to study Cybersecurity

I studied mass Comm and I'm studying MSc Cybersecurity. They'll need work references though

That Mechanical engineering... Hmm.
My guy studied mechatronics and had to delve into IT / devops cos he wasn't getting call backs

Like someone said, you can also apply directly to jobs that provide sponsorship so you won't have to go the student route

Check avanade and Amazon

Hello,

Where is that stated??

Cheers

heroshark:


Yes it does. If you will applied for visa through the scholarship route your application will be given VIP treatment.

PS: They only recognized British government funded scholarships like Chevening and Commonwealth

Hello,

If your church certificate have the Nigerian coat of arms then yes.

If it doesn't you might need to take your church certificate to the court for further advise

You can then add both the church and court documents together during your application

Cheers

Hello Everyone!

I requested for my CAS last week from Aberdeen Uni. I was sent a form FG2 to fill and return with scanned copy of my passport. I thereafter got a mail that my CAS was under processing. POF not requested. Is there a cause for alarm?

Hello,

Please state your visa refusal whether it was omitted in the past or not

Cheers

Davidandgo:
My friend needs an advise. He had a US visa refusal in 2013 then later got said visa in 2015. He applied for UK visa in 2013 and 2015 and the visa was approved but can’t seem to find the application forms even though he has the application reference number. He also applied for 2 years UK visa in 2019 and was granted the visa, he has this application Doc and realized he did not declare the US visa refusal but just stated his visits to the US.

Now he wants to apply for theStudent UK visa once more and is confused if he should just stick to his story of no previous US visa refusal or not.

Please advise

Helloz

1. No you don't need to upload the letter

2. No, there's nothing like something too many documents as long as it all aligns.

Cheers

Amyblaq:
Hello Everyone,

I have a couple of questions please.

1. I have a study permit refusal from Canada last year which I plan on declaring, my question is am I supposed to upload the denial letter? Also while filling the visa application form, what should I fill in the “give more details” part (concerning the visa refusal)

2. When it comes to submitting documents for employment evidence, is there anything like submitting too much documents? Lol

Hello

Get dropped to an MPhil or MRes

Just adding to that paragraph

Cheers

babey543:

You think PhD is beans.

People fail PhD and get dropped. He doesn't appear to have a passion for research. Don't treat PhD as a progression from Masters.

Besides, where will he get for 3 years of tuition fees as opposed to 1-year tuition for MSc?

Helloz

I will advise you to submit the shariah court certificate.Can I also ask if it has the Nigerian coat of arms?

Cheers

nodetest:
Hello

Please is there a preferred marriage certificate for the visa process? I have a marriage certificate from a state registry and another one from the shariah court. The two certificates were issued about 1 year apart.

My wife has been denied a schengen visa in the past because we used the state registry certificate and the visa office said it was not the official certificate.

Which of the certificates should i use of UKVI. Is it advisable to include both in our application, with pictures?

Thanks

Hello,.

My opinion will be MSc in Cyber security

Cheers

yes, only if the church is licensed by Ministry of Interior to conduct marriages. My church marriage certificate was rejected as my church have no such licence. So you may consider going to register your marriage if your place of worship is not licensed to forestall any unnecessary delay as that is what I am facing now.

Good luck

During your visa application you see an option that asks if you are a recipient of either the Marshall, Chevening or Commonwealth scholarship.

I think the Marshall is for US students. But the Chevening and Commonwealth is applicable to Nigerians.

I think they also wave visa application fee for this scholars (not too sure)

Hello

Thanks for adding to this


Hope the journey is getting easier

All the best

Hello

Thanks for providing this information

There is a section but it doesn't mean it hasten anything
The documents needed from people with these scholarships are not the same as the others.

Marshall scholarship is also UK/International

Very helpful to read..Thanks

Cheers

Thanks for this great feedback.

Please can we talk directly? Let me email you or WhatsApp..

Thanks once again

babey543:

Google and apply for MSc Cyber security. You do not need to add MSc Mechanical Engineering to not complicate your application.

Your BSc in Mechanical Engineering is okay. You just need to include your cybersecurity experience in your CV as well as get a reference letter that confirms that you worked in the Cybersecurity role. Add your employment letter also.

You will definitely get admission. IT is hotcake in the UK so you will easily get a job as a student and when you graduate.

Good luck.

Thank you

I think it does hasten the process considerably, once you tick yes and input your reference number, they can confirm it on their system as they have the data handy. There is absolutely no need of trying to verify your POF, sending NSF to query about your study gap or work experience which can take significant amount of time.

They know that the scholarship committee shortlisted the brightest talents.

PS: I applied for UK visit visa last year October using the COP26 route, my visa fee was waved and my application processed in 5 working days even when I didn't pay for any priority service.

Who is using access bank to pay deposit and is already on disbursement reviewer?

duchess90:
Hello,

Please state your visa refusal whether it was omitted in the past or not

Cheers

Thanks for your response Duchess.

This surely would make things a lot easier but does it not connote misrepresentation of facts? That’s his main worry.

Hello,

More like benefits of being a scholar
You do have a point though

Cheers

I see!
I’ll advise him to declare and maybe leave a comment stating the omission the first time and hopefully the ECO would be kind enough to understand the situation and still grant him the visa.

Your feedback is much appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Huddersfield anyone, that has received cas

Thank for the response. It does not have the coat of arms, but it has the seal of the state. See the picture attached

As long as the marriage is recognised in your home country, it will be recognised by UKVI. Your marriage should be genuine and subsisting. Your certificate is fine as long as it is genuine. The visa office has different prototypes of certificates and never insist on registry cert or any kind of certificate. They just want to be sure the relationship is not a farce. Seal of state is fine.

Dmcool:


Hi, how long does it take to get your CAS after confirmation your payment?
And did you apply for the CAS or it will be sent automatically after confirming payment?

It was sent after payment confirmation, no need to apply.

Hello.
I studied Computer Science for my Bsc in 2019 and I have interest in going for Msc Cybersecurity, I do not have any work experience or skills on Cybersecurity but I have been reading up on Cybersecurity.
From your course of study in your Msc, do you think I can still apply for the course or do I need to have skills on Cybersecurity?
