Please find out if u will get the result that same day. If possible, I would advise u use thursday to be on a safer time frame in accordance to your flight timing.

My one cent

Thanks for your response. The lab said result will be out within 24 to 48 hours. Flight can be moved to Friday though. I'm yet to buy the ticket as I need to clarify this 72 hours thing before paying.

LagosismyHome:


Depending on when the flight is on Saturday but I think Wednesday afternoon should be fine

Thanks Chief, I think I'll just get a ticket for Friday evening just to be on a safe side. I think that's fine, right?

Thank you

Please, what is the meaning of non straightforward and straightforward mail?


[color=#006600][/color]

Let’s put it this way.

Straight forward application - Student A just wrote an exam. The handwriting is very clear and the marker can easily make a decision.

Non straight forward application - Student B just wrote an exam. He appears to have a correct answer but the handwriting isn’t legible.

Now the decision maker may want to contact student B for clarity sake before making a decision hence the marker reaches out to student B.

Congratulations!
Please was the reason for the abnormal TB result that was attached did it state that it was due to pregnancy?
If yes, did you have to declare your status as being pregnant in your application?
If yes, do you need to show any POF for your pregnancy or hospital fee or anything of such?

Please your answer will be appreciated as I am currently pregnant and also processing my application.
Thanks.

Ibm08:
Dear guys,

I just got wedded last year December. Is it advisable to declare marriage status while applying for my visa because, am only going for a BSc top up course.

If i state been married as any effect?

Advice please.

So if marriage has an effect, what would you do? Lie that you’re not married? This shouldn’t be a question, fill your forms truthfully. That should be the ideal. Don’t complicate simple things for yourself.

Geebee5:


Thanks Chief, I think I'll just get a ticket for Friday evening just to be on a safe side. I think that's fine, right?

Thank you

Yes if the result is out by Friday or before you fly then perfect

My dad just told me he budgeted 5mill Naira for my masters degree in the UK.

I graduated with second Class lower in Petroleum Engineering in 2014 and wish to diverge to IT, preferably data analytic or cyber Security.

Please house, is 5 million enough to purse this. What are your general advise to me.

God bless you all.

Ologtheo:

Thanks.

The reason was because of my heart which was detected to be bigger by 0.5 than usual. I was given a document at IOM to back it up and it indicated pregnancy as the cause of the abnormality.
Other than the fact that I uploaded the TB certificate alongside the other document I was given by the doctor at IOM which reflected the pregnancy, I didn't state it anywhere in my application.

I only showed POF for the existing children and myself. My medical insurance will cover my baby up until 3months post-delivery.

Good day everyone

Please I'm filling my locator form and it's requesting for address.

The thing is I won't be going straight to my school location cos I haven't figured out/settled my accommodation yet, so I'll do my isolation in a different city, while there I can fix accommodation palava easily.

Now on the LOCATOR FORM ,should I put the address of the city (Manchester) or my school address (Bristol) or just do a hotel reservation in Bristol ,just for the sole purpose of clearance (me no go stay the hotel sha,)

Kindly help me with the best response.

Una do well.

If you put any of the above and the police decides to spot check during your isolation period and don't find you there, do you know how much wahala you will be in . Why lie when there is absolutely no need (There no rule against isolating in a different city from school )

Its always important to tell the truth at all times when filling a form. Put where you actually will be staying when you arrive.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate.

I don't know whether it is right to post the questions here. I have them typed out already and will post once I'm sure I can. I'll even share the materials I used.

Yes I think its perfectly fine to post the questions here. The answers are not necessary and if any question was personal that personal stuff can be left out or reworded .... thanks

Please, what is the meaning of non straightforward and straightforward mail?


[color=#006600][/color]

There’s nothing like a straightforward mail.

Non-straightforward mail is sent sometimes if you fall under anyone of the categories below

Interview questions.
1. Confirm your name and date of birth
2. Why the UK? After I responded, then he asked
3. How did you know that countries like US, Canada and Australia don't have the benefits you highlighted
4. Did you research about other countries to know what they have to offer?
5. Why the University of your choice?
6. Are you saying other UK Universities don't have what you mentioned?
7. Did you apply to other Universities? Name the Universities
8. So, why do you prefer your University to these ones?
9. Your course
10. Why the course?
11. Course modules?
12. Which of the modules are you looking forward to studying?
13. What have you been doing since you finished in 2xxx?
14. Mention those places you have worked and the number of years you spent at each of them?
15. Have you run any postgraduate degree?
16. Are there no Universities in your home country where you can study this course? I said yes, then he asked
17. Why do you now want to leave your home country where you can study the same course at an affordable price?
18. What are your future plans?
19. Which one of them are you particular about? I mentioned a profession, then he asked
20. What are the requirements for being a XXXX?
21. Where did you get the information?
22. Can you mention the exact place where you will probably work when you return?
23. What much would you be earning?
24. How much are you currently earning?
25. Where do you work?
26. Tell me how your first degree relate to your intended course of study
27. Do you have anything to say?
28. Are you happy with this interview?
You will receive a decision mail in a couple of days.
Above were the questions I was asked, I'm not sure whether I missed out anything.

I sent you a mail. I am applying to teesside for September too. Please let's link up so we can share ideas. Thanks

Submission date 19th January
Biometric 19th January(Priority for the family of 5)
No decision mail but collection mail dropped on 29th January but i couldn't pick up.
Picked up 1st Feb.

Thank you all and i wish the ones that have applied and about to apply good luck.

Its an automated message.

Be calm and await your visa on your passport. Got this for my wife and got the visa after 3 days.

Many things could cause this.

1. There is a backlog and they cannot meet up with timelines.

2. Reconfirming the reason for your previous visa denials

3. A documentation they need clarity on. Etc

Abeg calm down and sip zobo

If they need more information you will be contacted
