School asked me to pay half tuition first, not full. And I think bank will allow that as well... How about that, am I good to go??

Yeah you are good to go

Hi Justwise, Fizzle and other guys here.

Im to be interviewed through skpe on my English language proficiency by the school i applied to, has anyone done something like that before.

What are the likely questions and what should i be expecting?

Secondly, im planning to send money to my brother in uk to help me pay my deposit inthe school in person instead of using form A to save time. Is this OK?

Thanks.

fizzile:
Yeah you are good to go

Well for your first question, from a few information gotten from some people, I think you will be asked questions like why u chose your school,what course you are going for,what you intend doing with the course and the benefit when u r back and a few other stuffs. So u have to study somethings about your intended school and the course u intend studying. If possible check up ur course module as well. All the best.
For the second question,I will like to know the means you want to send the money to your brother. cc: Luggi007

I have never attended one so wouldn't know the sort of question ...but many have posted their interviews here.

The interview will test your understanding of English language, your plan after studying and probably why the U.k..etc

Boss Fizzle, thanks for your reply and those points you gave, i will surely work on them.

Concerning sending money to my brother, i dont know how its gonna be done yet. He only told me when its time to send the money he will link me up with someone here in Nigeria.When the money gets to him over there, he will just go directly to the school and pay it in person on my behalf. Whch will save me time and all the troubles of form A.

I will inform when i have the full details of it.

If you or anybody knows or have anything to say about this stuff, its opened.

Many thanks to JustWise too for giving time to reponse to my post

Cheer to y'all.

I think the other option regarding sending money via moneygram. I think that will be quite better but it might not be at exactly CBN rate.

Search online for Western Union agencies in Nigeria..they are usually banks and ask them how to send money through Western Union, i guess them will have a cap on amount allowed to send abroad.

Sir, I think moneygram is better. I was at the bank this morning to make enquiries and the woman took me to a corner and told me moneygram is cheaper. That the difference btw western union and moneygram is about 8000 to 12000naira.

Do you know i am yet to receive my telex copy. Is it possible to use moneygram to pay tuition fees Im just learning about this. The bank claims they dont have forex!!

MrsF:

MrsF, don't tell me you are serious. Wait.. have u checked your account if its been debited? You need to do something about this. You need to visit the bank. As for the moneygram stuff, someone has to receive it for you there in the UK. Thats if you have anyone there but it might be slightly above CBN rate...slightly. If you have not been debited, i suggest u make use of another bank for the Form A.

I have been debited so therein lies my problem becos the money is tied up there. If the moneygram rate is slightly above the CBN rate then thats still fine i guess i would be paying extra for the peace of mind. My 28 days is up next week friday so i need to sort this out asap

Have u been to the bank? And what was their reply? Now I will advice u to get the customer care number of the bank and put a call across to them. I did the same thing. If possible try to be aggressive on phone. Its annoying. Just look for the phone number of the head office or customer care then make your complaint. They will be able to sort it out. Please try. What bank is that sef?

But if you have been debited the fees should have been recived by your school. If not My advice would be to free up your schedule for a day or two. Just go to the bank and sit on the manager office till your issue has been resolved or you get a good explanation of things (either they tell you when the fund would be reversed or when it would reach the school) and please try your best and don't be polite you have been patient enough. 2 cent

Hello guyzz, doing good?
I am on the process for this student uk visa.
I am at the stage of paying fees related. The thing is that the money I will use is in the same bank account that I will use to prove I have enough funds. Don't worry there is enough money to go but the 28 days will be due only next week when I will print the bank slip. So paying fees today will remove some money from that bank account but there will still be enough money for maintenance and tuition next week on the 28th day. Is this ok for my application?
Also which day rate will they use on the balance of next week to convert to gbp?
Thanks for your help

If its slighty above CBN rate (something not more than 100k naira), i personally think its better than using formA which usually takes time and alot of stress like what MrsF is experiencing now .

Do you have idea of the CBN rate now?

This is helpful, thanks

I did my T.B test on tuesday. though it said $130 on the website, when I got to MHAC, I was told to pay N26,250 to their standard chartered account. I did my test and got result the same day. lol...the doctor was scary, he asked lots of funny questions:

1: have you had cough in the past 3 months
me : yes

2: do you sweat while you sleep
me :I don't know, I sleep in A.C

3: have you been in contact with anybody with T.B in the last 3 months
me : How am I supposed to know that. I have been in contact with people, IDK if they have T.B

doctor : your test result will be out today, if any trace of T.B is detected, you will be invited for a different test which will take 8 weeks for they result to be out. If it turns out the other test confirms T.B, you will need to be treated for 9 months.

me: I was just praying throughout the day.

MrsF:

same here, let me know what you end up doing. right now, I am thinking about using atm card to pay.

i.e: transfer money to several people and use their cards to pay.

Guys,please I have a question. It still has to do with this 28days counting period. If for instance on 1st of July I started counting my 28days counting at let's say 370 for a pound and had the require amount and let's say on 5th of July the rate increases to about 379 forcing the required amount to drop slightly and on the 25th or 26th day the rate drops to 368 thereby allowing you have the required for the 28days, will it be right to print your statement bearing in mind the amount has been in that account for the 28days needed and is in line with the exchange rate for that day. Please someone should help. How will it be calculated pls?
