Please do if you can it will save you a lot of problem but...check the exchange rate before you start transferring. Notwithstanding...its a good idea.

I'm beating myself up now for not opening back account in Nigeria the last time i visited because sending money home through western union or bank is an expensive exercise

Not only that, most stores in England don't like to give out western union funds but they always want to receive

Ubyy:
I got into London this morning. The official at immigration just asked for my admission letter. No CAS/TB screening.

Lol.

Welcome.... mine only asked for my passport....

People have heard so many stories that now if Western Union is mentioned they think it is a scam!
Blame all the 419 scammers from the past. (and the ones still trying.)

The solution is open a UK account and not just any account but insist and inform the bank that u want a free account which is good for students...

Do not forget to come alone with jackets and sweaters....It's getting really cold already especially at night.

Hi Mates.

Another silent follower.
You guys are doing an amazing job.
I basically read through the forum and I got a hang of exactly what to do and how to do it. I also went through the UKVI's Tier 4-PBS document.

I picked up my Visa yesterday(Monday), it's been ready since Friday though.
Had my interview on the 2nd of September at the VAC Ikeja. Give or take, it took 7 working days.
I'm heading to Robert Gordon Uni. Aberdeen.

So about the application process.
I obviously applied to the school, got admission, paid tuition and got CAS. For the CAS though, RGU made payment of IHS and IELTS mandatory. So I initially made payment for IHS, but I processed a refund which I got within two weeks of initiating the process.
My IELTS was alright too. Speaking: 7.5; Writing:6.5; Reading:7.0;Listening:8.5; Overall band score:7.5.
I actually got my CAS before my IELTS was out, I gave them an expired TOEFL result (108/120) and my WAEC result showing my English result, so they processed my CAS with that, plus the school is HEI. But they asked for my IELTS when I got to the VAC and good enough, I had it with me.

I did my TB test at IOM, Ikeja. Its pretty straight forward! Call them to book an appointment and go for your appointment. PS: The guys at IOM(Ikeja) are very nice people! Very cultured.
Anyways, I think I'll just list out what I submitted. Sorry for the plenty story


Documents Submitted

Bank Statement (Use Oanda.com as your exchange peg. Don't forget currency variation!) But if you start counting your 28 days and you find out you didn't put enough money in your account before your started the 28 days count, simply make additional tuition payment(if you made part payment though) and have your school update your CAS to reflect the new paid tuition. I highlighted when the funding in my account started and when it ended.

CAS Letter

TB Test Result

IELTS Result

Oanda Print out (The didn't return my Oanda Print out but returned my bank statement, so yea! they actually use it)

Visa Application Printout

Bsc Certificate

I also labelled accordingly: Appendix A - D.

PS: Just pay attention to certain details and read this forum well well and you'll be fine. Please don't forget UKVI's website oh! They change immigration law more than a woman changes her own mood.

My dear, you're not the only one. I paid on the 2nd of September. Up until now, nothing has happened. I've gone there, I've called ukvi, I've sent emails. They sent me an email saying it has been processed. I feel so upset that I didn't get the service I paid for. We can only keep waiting and praying.

You called UKVI? Does the £1.37 per minute apply for the Nigerian number there or just for the UK number?

dannyabba:

It applies for both.

I got the same mail after I questioned them. I don't even believe them anymore. Nonsense people.

When did you get the mail please?
