Bridie2:

Good morning. I have 7years study gap and did not upload any employment letter or reference letter but I have some prove of what I was doing. Should I send a paid mail or wait for NSF?

Hello, in your previous post yesterday (qouted below), you stated that you were asked to provide employment letter or pay slip. I assumed that to be NSF. I think Duchess responded to you.

Bridie2:
Good day everyone. Please I need your help. I was asked to provide an employment letter or pay slip. I have been working at my uncles shop but it is not registered. How do I explain this? Can I snap pictures in front of the shop as a prove? Please help out on how I can do this. Thanks @justwise
@duchess

Wait for NSF, u might as well scale tru.

Best wishes

If the applicant doesn't receive an “NSF MAIL” , does it means “successful visa” after 15 days of waiting?

Thanks for the reply.

Good morning Gurus, I need clarification about paying deposit through flywire (the School accept Flywire) by Form A:
1. In filling form A, where will I put the payment ID.
2. Has anyone use Sterling Bank before, how is their processing?
3. Do I need to put the fund (Naira) in the Sterling account that I intend to use for dorm A, am asking this because the naira is in another bank?
4. After filling the online form, what should I do again

Good morning Duchess90 thanks a lot.
So should I write any note addressing those refusals when uploading my supporting documents to the UKVI or ignore writing any note but provide the two refusal documents. Which is approach is right?

duchess90:
Hello

You are correct

You should be fine with your Study visa as that is completely point based

And the summary you gave here is sufficient because they have access to this document if and when necessary
Cheers

Thanks Abuhusna1. Did your wife attached to her documents any writing note addressing those refusals when uploading her documents or only attached the refusals documents?

abuhusna1:

You are good to apply. Application is judged based on current condition and not past as long as you don't have a ban.
My wife too was refused 2 visit visa but got her study visa easily. All the best

A friend that went there yesterday wasn't able to walk-in with his wife. He wasn't attended to.
According to him, they now take only 100 walk-in per day.

queenfolake:
Hello please who recently used ikeja TLS for biometric and was able walk in with a dependent that didn’t have a close date. I am hearing they have stopped it. Please who can confirm this

Nadingo:
Thank you so much. Will I have to go with the nanny from here? Will wife be accepted for PGD first then subsequently a Masters?

I think University of Greenwich accept 3rd class.

You can visit the school site to confirm.

There are a host of schools in the Uk that accept 3rd class

Hello

Jona48:
Sorry for the late reply...
My program was originally September 2022,but I was having delay in processing my form A and it was close to the deadline of 24th July, so I quickly sent a mail to them and asked to defer(stating my reasons)
N. B. That was before the deadline.. Do well to take into cognizant the date I sent the mail to them.
Cheers

Thank you very much! I will be rewriting this today

Please does tls vi open on Saturdays for biometrics,very urgent please

You can check on rightmove, zoopla and spareroom. Studios are within affordable prices in Birmingham, housing in Birmingham are relatively affordable.

ubom123:
Hi Duchess, Please what’s the average cost of a studio rent in Birmingham? Is there any good website where I can browse and see that?

Please somebody help me. I'm trying to pay for IHS and I have this on the page. I have a dependant. Is this okay? Can I please proceed?

Your visit visa refusal won’t affect it. There’s no travel ban in your refusal letter and no case of fraud so you should be fine. I had similar visit visa refusal and didn’t have any issues with getting my student visa. Just ensure your POf is genuine and don’t remove the funds in between your visa application. You should get a positive outcome. Good luck.

HrmBennyEmmy:

Google is your friend bro

Phenmeson:


You can use your notification of results to apply. Concerning the transcript, have you requested it from OOU portal?
At most, before November, APC & Buhari govt go dance to ASUU song and call off strike.
You can apply for January/May session 2023.

Yes I have requested since April.

Ok so you have posts saying an NSF was received and another suggesting you are preempting an outcome, and new information saying the previous and current MSc programmes are identical. which is the exact scenario?

Kalakris:
Na why I wan know if dem no go begin reason say.....why the person wan go do another Msc for the same course again

Kalakris:
If a student who graduated in 2017 (5 years study gap) has been sent a NSF mail requesting for what he or she has been doing since graduation, can the person upload further studies (M.Sc) admission letter and result as what he/she has been doing during the 5 years period?. Will they have a problem with proving academic progression?.

Kalakris:

Today is just 9 days after biometrics. Forgot to upload NYSC cert. No NSF yet

What a summary?

God bless you.

But I want to understand something.

How much can I budget for flight ticket from Abj to Nottingham?

NaughtyBrainiac:
Hello Nadingo,

I trust you are keeping well.

It is normal to be a Newbie. All our Ogas here were also Newbies at one point or the other.

Let me see if I can make your Job easier.


Below is a summary of the process

1. You apply to schools using:

a. Your first degree certificate ( BSc or HND)
b. Transcript
c. Biodata page of International Passport
d. CV
e. Referees
f. Statement of Purpose

2. You are offered Conditional admission or Unconditional admission ( Conditional in most cases).
For Conditional, you will be requested to provide some additional documents in order to get Unconditional offer. e.g Official Transcript, Scratch card to confirm your WAEC Engish Language grade online etc

3. You will make Tuition deposit payment if you are okay with the school. This can be done via form A or by paying using a domiciliary account debit card. Form A is cheaper but takes between 3 weeks and 10 weeks. For a Tuition Deposit of £4k, you can save up to N900,000 if you use form A.

4. You will go for Tuberculosis Test at IOM. There is Lagos center and Abuja Centre. The cost is N57,800 for 11 years and above. N21,320 or so for children below 11 years.

5. There's something called Proof of Fund. This is your Tuition Balance + Living expenses in the UK.

Living Cost for London:
Main Applicant is £1334 × 9months
Dependant is £845 × 9months

Living Cost outside London:
Main Applicant is 1023 × 9months
Dependant is 680 × 9months

Let's calculate POF for a student outside London with Total Tuition of £14 and Tuition Deposit of £4k.
Remember that POF is Tuition Balance + Living Cost
£10,000 + £9207 = £19,207

To get the naira value, you use the OANDA currency converter. Just search OANDA on Google.

Using an OANDA rate of Let's say 510 naira per pound, we have 19207 × 510 = N9,795,570. You can approximate your POF to be N11,000,000.

This means that you must maintain a minimum of 11m in your account for at least 28 days before you apply for visa.

6. After Tuition Deposit Payment is confirmed by the school, the school issues Unconditional Admission Offer after you must have provided required documents.

7. You begin CAS process by undergoing Credibility Check. This is a check conducted by the school to confirm if you are a genuine student.
Some schools call it CAS questionnaire, Some call it Pre-cas interview etc

8. If you provide satisfactory responses, you will be issued a statement or document called Condition of Acceptance for Studies (CAS). This is somewhat the most important document in this journey. It is what shows that a licensed school is sponsoring you to school in the UK.
[b]If your responses are not satisfactory, you will NOT be issued CAS and your admission offer will be withdrawn (you will be given more than one attempt)

9. Visa Application.

You will be scheduled for biometrics( Not visa interview) after filling the online application form and paying IHS and VISA fees.
IHS is Insurance Health Surcharge for your health insurance while in the UK.
IHS is £705 for one year per person( £624 is written on the UKVI payment page)
Visa is £363 per person

There are 3 centres for biometrics capturing in Nigeria. Abuja TLS, Ikeja TLS and VI TLS

10. Travel to the UK after visa is issued.

As for your wife who is a Third Class Graduate, there are schools in the UK that will offer her admission for direct Master's degree programme. However, she needs to do extra by making her Statement of Purpose winning and very convincing. Good work experience is another factor the schools consider.

Below are some of the schools a Third Class degree holder can consider:

1. Sheffield-Hallam University.
2. Roehampton University.
3. University of Sunderland.
4.London Metropolitan University.
5. University College, Birmingham.
6. Solent University.
7. Cardiff Metropolitan University.
8. Bedfordshire University.
9. University of West England.
10. University of South Wales.
11. Edinburgh Napier University.
12. University of Suffolk
13. Swansea University.
14. University of Essex.
15. Anglia Ruskin University.
16. University of Gloucestershire

For Total cost for your wife and 2 children, I will give a rough estimate of how much they will need to get them to the UK.

Tuition Deposit of £4000 with form A is around: N2,150,000 (including charges)

IHS for one year course: $885 × 3 @700 = N1,858,500
Visa: $460 × 3 @700 = N966,000
The UKVI payment page says IHS is reduced for children @£470. However, some parents said they paid same amount they paid for Adults. I have not confirmed that because I have never made payment for Child Dependant of a student. I have only made for Student and Dependant partner.

POF: Let's say Tuition balance of £8,000
£8000 + £9207 + £6120 + £6120 = £29447(Outside London)
@Oanda rate of Let's say 510, we have 29447 × 510
= N 15,017,970
POF is Approximately N17,000,000

Tuberculosis Test for wife: N57,800
Tuberculosis Test for 2 kids : N42,640

Flight ticket for 3: Budget N1.2m ( This depends on Airline, time of booking & time of travel)

Cash at hand at POE: £1.5k ( Will cover cost of accommodation) : N1,200,000

Total without POF is N 7,474,940
Approximately N8,000,000 (Without POF)

There will be small fluctuations here and there.

Please note, that I will advise you move with the family (If possible). Your wife needs you there for Psychological, Physical, Moral and Financial Support.
You can legally work full time and that's a lot of pounds to support the family.

Best regards.
