Please, I'd like to ask if I can use a related PGDip or PG Certificate University admission CAS after already have a BSc degree in Nigeria to apply for the UK student visa (Tier4). Will it fly? or does it have to be a Masters admission for me to secure Tier4. |

Please, I'd like to ask if I can apply for a related PGDip or PG Certificate Course In the UK after I already have a BSc degree in Nigeria.. How does the CAS normally react to this kind of application. What's the approval rate? or does it have to be a Masters admission for me to secure Tier4. |

After paying for my TLS services and securing a biometric date, I was sent an email containing details of my payment and my date for biometric. I have successfully amended the date to a closer one but I didn't get a mail for the amendment. Am I good to go? And what proof will I have to show at TLS for them to know that I actually have an appointment that new amended date? |

cc: Justwise You can apply for your visa at most, 6 months before your course start date but you can only travel at most, 1 month before your course start date. Stop!!! Important advice before you continue: https://www.nairaland.com/6719932/living-uk-life-immigrant-part-2#105186938 Can I work and earn enough to pay my fees? [/b]See this link as a guide: https://www.nairaland.com/6719932/living-uk-life-immigrant-part-2/538#115106703 [b]List of UK universities: https://www.ukuni.net/universities https://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/league-tables/rankings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_universities_in_the_United_Kingdom Contacting UKVI about you visa application: [/b]https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside-outside-uk/y [b] GENERAL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS: 1. Your academic transcript. 2. Your CV/resume (postgraduate study). 3. Copy of your passport. 4. Reference/recommendation letters/Contacts. Many schools take recommendations by email – they ask you for your recommender(s)’s emails and send them the link to fill in their recommendations. Alternatively, you can send a scanned copy of the recommendation letter on the letter-headed paper of your recommender’s company via email or upload via the student portal depending on your school. 5. A personal statement. This is your opportunity to sell yourself as an excellent fit for the school/course. 6. An English language qualification such as IELTS, SSEC or WAEC C6 or above or TOEFL. Some schools accept a letter from your previous institutions stating that you were fully taught in English. Find out what your school will accept from you. Note: Many schools will require you to submit the bank statement or the proof of funds that you want to use before issuing your CAS. Also, have your travel history at hand as many schools will like to know if you have been refused visas previously and why to enable them to gauge your success at getting a visa. Declaring refusals to schools and UKVI doesn’t mean that your visa application will be rejected, it only means that some schools might decline your application due to the risk of your student refusal as a means to retain the integrity of their admission/CAS issuance processes as certain refusals cast negative light on the integrity of their processes. REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDENT VISA Application link: https://www.gov.uk/student-visa/apply 1. Your passport. 2. CAS statement (this includes your CAS number and sponsor details). You don't need to upload this as it is an electronic document that the ECO has access to. Just filling the CAS information on your application is ok. 3. Academic evidence and documents detailed on CAS. 4. TB test result (from IOM only). [/b]See booking details here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tuberculosis-test-for-a-uk-visa-clinics-in-nigeria/tuberculosis-testing-in-nigeria#attending-the-clinic https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tuberculosis-test-for-a-uk-visa-clinics-in-nigeria/tuberculosis-testing-in-nigeria#payment 5. [b]Outstanding tuition fees. This should be evidence in your account/your parents’ accounts/sponsorship letter/ loan letter. 6. Maintenance requirement: [/b]https://www.gov.uk/guidance/financial-evidence-for-student-and-child-student-route-applicants a. £1,334 monthly (for up to 9 months) for within London (this includes schools in the Greater London area and all the London boroughs). This means that you need to show £1,334 * 9 (£12,006) for your maintenance. b. £1,023 monthly (for up to 9 months) for outside London. This means that you need to show £1,023*9 (£9,207) for your maintenance. 7. [b]Financial evidence: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/financial-evidence-for-student-and-child-student-route-applicants a. You can use your bank statement or your parents’ bank statement to show your funds (tuition fees + maintenance). The money must be kept in the account for at least 28 days before application; the end of the 28 days must not be older than 31 days before your application. Note: Your application date is the date of your online submission, not your biometrics date. The only family members that can sponsor you (give you their account statement to use) are your parents or legal guardian(s). If using your parents' account(s), you need your birth certificate which has your parents' name as your parents to prove your relationship to them. Note: You can only use your partner’s money if your partner is present in the UK or applying at the same time as you. If using your guardian's statement, you need to include a court document appointing the person as your guardian. This guardian must have been appointed by the court when you were below 18 years. Note 1: If your funds are held in an account that is not in £, the ECO will convert the funds in your account using the exchange on the day of your online application as calculated on: https://www1.oanda.com/currency/converter/ Note 2: You cannot use overdrafts, bitcoin savings, stocks and shares, pensions, bank accounts that are not regulated by the financial regulatory body in the country you’re applying from or bank accounts that don’t use electronic record keeping. Note 3: You can use current accounts, deposit accounts, savings accounts, pension savings, investment accounts. Note 4: When paying your visa/HIS fees, your bank will not use Oanda rates. Budget for black market rates. Note 5: Please leave your funds in your account till you get your visa to avoid stories that touch. If it is used to pay your fees, you must have the receipt ready incase the ECO requests for a fresh bank account statement covering longer periods. Note 6: Prepare for an interview even if the possibility is low so that you are ready for any eventuality. b. You can also submit a sponsorship letter (see sample here: https://docs.gre.ac.uk/rep/sas/example-sponsorship-letter ) if you're sponsored by i. Her Majesty’s (UK) Government ii. The applicant’s home (Nigerian, in this case) government iii. the British Council iv. an international organisation eg. UNICEF, UN, WHO etc. v. an international company (a company that actively operates in 2 or more countries) vii. a university (eg. The university where you will be studying). viii. a UK independent school. c. Loan letter, if you are in receipt of an educational loan. The loan must be in your name. See link for details: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/financial-evidence-for-student-and-child-student-route-applicants Note: The loan letter must confirm that there are no conditions on release of the loan funds other than a successful application to study. It must also confirm that the funds will be available to you, or paid directly to the sponsor, before you begin your course. 8. Consent letter: You'll also need a letter from your parent(s) or guardian that states that they consent to you using the funds in the account for which evidence has been submitted. This is only applicable if using their bank statements. See sample here: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.westminster.ac.uk/sites/default/public-files/general-documents/Example%2520of%2520parent%2520consent%2520letter.doc&ved=2ahUKEwjVuYnvs9rtAhX7UxUIHR04C3cQFjALegQIBxAB&usg=AOvVaw23ibrOLrlQod4FOobTdsJp 9. ATAS certificate, if your course requires it. 10. Consent letter: Under 18s will also need a consent letter from both parents and/or their guardian consenting to their visa application, their living arrangements in the UK and their travel to the UK. See example here (edit as required): http://documents.manchester.ac.uk/display.aspx?DocID=29499 https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/ssid/immigration/tier-4-application/supporting-documents#consent Graduate visa (after successfully completing your studies) https://www.gov.uk/graduate-visa Cost: Visa - £715 + IHS (£624 per year * 2 for Masters programmes and £624 per year * 3 for PhDs) = £1,963 (Masters) and £2,587 (PhDs). This visa can’t be extended, you’ll need to migrate to another visa that allows you to work and live in the UK eg. Skilled worker visa, Innovator visa, Global Talent visa, any family route visa etc. FOR DEPENDANTS: Your family should ideally be in the UK as your dependant under the Student visa for them to qualify as your dependants under the Graduate visa route. This means that they must apply to join you more than 6 months to the end of your course since IHS isn’t charged and BRPs are not issued for any visa below 6 months. If your dependants apply when you have less than 6 months to the end of your course, it means that they won’t be charged IHS and if they need medical attention, they might need to pay out of pocket. Also, proving their right to work might be difficult with this – anyone who has applied less than 6 months to the end of the main applicant’s visa should please state their experience for others to gain from. a. Spouses only: Marriage certificate. b. Spouses and Children: Maintenance evidence: Bank statement showing £845 monthly * 9 months (£7,605) for within London or £680 monthly * 9 months (£6,120) for outside London. This must be in the account for at least 28 days; the end of the 28 days must not be older than 31 days before your application. For dependant spouses, the money can be in your account or your partner's account. For dependant children, the money can be in either parent's account. Note: If applying shortly after the main applicant, be ready to show evidence of the main applicant’s funds (ie. Bank statements showing that he/she still has part of the money that hasn’t been spent on tuition or living expenses, rent/tuition receipts and any other document to prove that the money is not being recycled). c. Spouses and children: TB test certificate (From IOM only) d. Your child(ren) only: Child(ren)'s birth certificate showing you as their parent. Note: If you’re taking care of a family member who’s now like a child to you and you’d like to take this child with you to the UK, you must provide an adoption certificate, court document showing that you have been appointed as the child’s legal guardian or granting you parental responsibility over the child. These documents must be dated before the child turns 18 (ideally while the child is under age 16). e. Spouse or parent's Biometric Residence Permit if they are already in the UK. Their vignette /GWF number if they have gotten their vignette but are still in Nigeria or if they are awaiting their application decision. f. For spouses, you can include pictures of you and your spouse to prove that your marriage is genuine and subsisting or communication evidence (if you have lived apart prior to your application especially in cases where the spouse has travelled to the UK already). You can also use joint accounts, letters from your doctor, joint properties amongst many others to show that your marriage is real. g. For children only: consent letter signed by both parents or legal guardian. See sample here (edit as required): http://documents.manchester.ac.uk/display.aspx?DocID=29499 https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/ssid/immigration/tier-4-application/supporting-documents#consent h. Your passport. i. IHS payment. No need to upload your IHS receipt as the payment is automatically linked to the application for which it was made.

Visa fee: £490 . For further info, check on costs and requirements check https://www.gov.uk/student-visa 2. TB test fee: currently N57,800. Always confirm the Naira equivalent as this changes based on the ForEx rate used. Check for booking, cost, and updated information here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tuberculosis-test-for-a-uk-visa-clinics-in-nigeria/tuberculosis-testing-in-nigeria 3. IHS cost: Currently £470 for each year of your course plus £235 for the extra 4-6 months granted in addition to the duration of your course. This is not refundable if your visa is granted but you don’t travel to the UK. Calculate how much your IHS will cost here: https://www.immigration-health-surcharge.service.gov.uk/checker/type 4. Optional processing service fees.

Priority: £250 (application processed, ideally, within 5 working days). b. Super priority: £956 (application processed, ideally, within 24 hours). c. For other value-added services, check https://pos.tlscontact.com/abv_en/added-value-services Note: This can sometimes be suspended due to large volumes of applications or certain unforeseen situations. Note: For single parents who want to travel with their under-18 child(ren) but not with the child(ren)'s other parent, you will need a death certificate, sole custody order or any other legal document that shows that the child(ren)'s other parent isn't in the picture anymore. Also, having detailed childcare plans while you study helps – contact nurseries/schools around your area to give you an idea of how to weave this into your application. The onus is on you to prove that your situation is compelling enough for the ECO to grant you and your child(ren) visas without the other parent. After you arrive: https://www.nairaland.com/6719932/living-uk-life-immigrant-part-2 1. For rooms and accommodation: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/ https://www.spareroom.co.uk/ https://www.airbnb.co.uk/ https://www.zoopla.co.uk/ Note: You might need to stay in temporary accomodation before you get something permanent. Temporary Accomodation: https://www.airbnb.co.uk/ 2. Apply for your NI as soon as possible after you arrive and pick up your BRP. https://www.gov.uk/national-insurance 3. Register on the electoral roll – this is good if you plan to build a life here. https://www.gov.uk/electoral-register 4. Apply for your provisional driving licence – this comes in handy as proof of address and form of ID. https://motoring.dvla.gov.uk/service/DvoConsumer.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=FAP&_nfls=false 5. Sign up on job sites For NHS jobs (they usually have 0-hour contracts, part-time and permanent contracts), https://www.healthjobsuk.com/ https://www.cv-library.co.uk/ https://uk.indeed.com/ https://www.totaljobs.com/ Note: You can use Microfinance banks as long as they are registered with and licenced by CBN. You should also find out if anyone has used the statements from that bank before because it also proves that the bank can satisfactorily verify financial statements through UKVI established channels. The bank being able to verify the statement to UKVI as required and when due is key. CAS - Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies. You need this from your school to apply. ECO - Entry Clearance Officer. The visa official that assesses your application. NSF mail - Non-Straightforward mail. You get this mail if they need more documents from you or if they won't be able to decide your application within the set timeframes. POE - Point Of Entry. The airport that you come in through. POF - Proof of Funds. Evidence of how you intend to fund your studies. BRP - Biometric Residence Permit: Your BRP is the documentary evidence of your UK immigration permission. The BRP looks like a driver’s licence but with details of your immigration permission in the UK. When you get your visa in Nigeria, it will be on your passport with a 90-day validity. Once you get into the UK, you pick your BRP which replaces the visa in your passport and is valid throughout your stay in the UK (eg.16 months for 1 year courses).
