Praise God. Visa approved for main applicant, dependant partner and dependant child. Timeline Application submitted online for main applicant on August 18, dependants August 19. Biometric and interview August 26 Collection email September 16 Received from DHL September 17 Please note I made a few errors in the application. School rep in Nigeria gave a sample cover letter to address the errors but advised we cancel the application and reapply. We thought the errors were not significant so we submitted along with the cover letter. Many thanks to @mimilyrics who also supported us by reviewing the cover letter. Errors were, my wife who is the main applicant indicated that she is financially responsible for both dependants - husband and child. Secondly we indicated the our place of residence in the UK as the school. No second interview or delay email. Praying God's favour reaches out to all who are still waiting. This forum has been very encouraging. God bless Timexy1: 9 Likes |

kaylov12: @kaylov and others waiting for Phone interview. Please see the summary; Bio metrics and Interview, VI TLS Aug 26th. Complex/Not straight forward mail 14th Sept, Mail for Telephone Interview On 15th, Telephone Interview scheduled for 9.am but started at 9.30am today. The network was poor and the Interviewer had not interacted with many Nigerians in the past or my accent is too Nigerian. We kept having to go over every response I gave. I spelt out more than 50% of my feedback. These were the questions; 1. Why the school 2. Why the course 3. Why the UK 4. Which Other Schools did you consider. 5. What advantage does this school hold over the others 6.What are the modules, speak about how they fit into your Study goals. 7 What do you do? 8 What was your last academic course (MBA OAU,10 years ago) 9. Why the study gap,10. What has your salary been over the last 10 years. 11. How much will this Masters cost you, who is sponsoring you? 12. What are the Returns on this investment, how will you justify the amount spent 13 Where do you hope to work thereafter/what will you be doing after the program 14. What impact/value will this masters add to you? 15. Where did you get the INFORMATION that this value will be added. 15. Where will you stay, how far from school and how much will it cost you? 16. Have you been to the UK before 17. Has any other close family been to the UK before? (their names and why they visited) hmmmmm 18. Did you enlist an agent to help with your application (Name,organisation). 19. Do you wish to add any other information? 20 Do you have questions? End of Interview. Not to scare anyone, it took about 1 and a half hours, I found it laborious, And i had to use my initiative. The session was just so stressful. I hope for the best. 3 Likes |

olaypappy: GTBank said they don’t do currently when I went but UBA does. The only thing is you need to come with a return ticket (which most students do not have) |

General Advice; If you are looking to apply for PTA, submit your application at most (1)week before your travel date. Getting PTA is now VERY HARD! Most branches will tell you that there’s no space until weeks after your travel date. Don’t wait for few days to submit your application. Make sure you’ve deposited the funds already, else your slot will be given to someone else. I have been running around all morning and saying abeg abeg to different operational managers this morning. Again some banks will only give you DOLLARS. They don’t all have GBP or EURO. So you have to change the Dollars to the currency you want. Today’s rate for PTA Dollars : 386 Euro : 463 GBP: idk bc I didn’t ask but a friend collected at 501 Limit is 4000USD. Note again: YOU MUST PRESENT A RETURN TICKET even if you’re going as a student. ONE WAY TICKETS ARE NOT ACCEPTED. 4 Likes |

Personal Travel Allowance. Basically you get money cheaper from the bank than what it’ll cost you in the black market. Example : 4000USD PTA will cost you approximately 1.6m. That same 4000USD in black market will cost you approximately 1.9m. So if you’re travelling, you can request for PTA. Only give you once in 3 months. Nadheer15: |
