Good evening everyone

My TB test expires on 17th September.

I'll be leaving Lagos same day but arriving in London on the 18th.

Can I travel with this certificate please ?

I've heard stories of overzealous officers at MMA, will I be allowed to board?

Thanks Ola

No they don't.

It's quite straightforward - you need to upload degree certificate, transcript, reference (professional or academic) as well as WAEC result.

They'll then review and come back to you

Thanks for breaking it down so well.

no my advice stays same for 1st timers in the UK.
It is pretty much easier to hop on the bus. There will be a million signs pointing/indicating National Express.. ff it
From the arrivals lounge u find ur way straight to the buses terminal and locate ur bus, once u handover your ticket to the driver and ur boxes , that’s all that needs to be done.
U find your seat and no hassle or confusion.
As you land in your destination city you will be dropped at the bus park, you come down and take your time again to get Uber to your house or arranged accommodation.
This is quite different from taking a train if you have not done before and dragging luggage as well. It could get so confusing and exhausting and end up missing the train. When you become used to the system, by all means train rides as they are shorter.

Thanks Ugoonuoha.

Just use National Express coach from Heathrow to Hull. Don't pre-book the ticket because you cannot predict the queue at Immigration/Passport control. It can take up to 2hours after you've landed Heathrow, before you get to baggage area (depending on the arrival time). Average price £30 - 40/person.

Thanks for the feedback.

Would your advice be different for a single passenger with two bags please?

giselle237:
if travelling as a family and/or with lots of luggage use a bus straight from the terminal you’ll arrive at Heathrow to Hull. The site for buses is national express. Type in ur exact terminal

Getting to Hull from Heathrow.

giselle237:
getting where?

No reasonably priced flights to Manchester at short notice.

How would you advise I go about getting there please?

frankob:

Why heathrow and not Manchester?
Must everyone land in London?
MAN is closer to Hull

Good evening guys

Abeg, what's the most straightforward route from Heathrow to Hull?

Hello everyone.

Are we meant to submit the signed checklist at TLS please?
Them no collect am from my hand. The lady just signed and returned it to me.

Thanks for the response.

Hey, no my SCB account is a joint account. I was advised to use my personal account for POF. But you can use either one as long as its clear its official. I used the version from my globus app.

Thanks for the feedback.

Please I need your input.

Version of my bank statement printed at branch is stamped & signed but has no contact email, while the one downloaded form the app isn't stamped or signed but has contact email.

Which of the two should I go with please?

Is it advisable to submit both? I've included screenshots below.

Just trying to cover all bases for when UKVI is trying to verify the statement with my bank.

Hello @Tejurae

Please did you submit SCB bank statement for proof of funds?
If yes, did you use the version from the app or hard copy printed at the branch?

tejurae:


Honestly I can't remember the rate. But it took about a week and a half. But note that they could be having issues with CBN. You know from 2023 they want to stop Form A and go to black market rate and apparently they have started reducing the rate at which they give it out now to start implementing the process. So most people are trying to pay as much of the fees as possible. It's not confirmed from CBN but you never know

Thanks for the response.

Will submit an updated version.

duchess90:
Hello

Yes please print an up to date statement when going for your biometrics and request for it to be uploaded.


If you can upload it yourself and remove the out of date statement.

The rules are there for a reason,don't attract an unnecessary refusal

Cheers

Good evening house

Please I need your input here.

I've submitted my online application and uploaded on TLS.
Issue is with POF - I uploaded matured statement on TLS, but my printed bank statement will be beyond 31 days old by the time I go for biometrics.

How does this affect my chances please? Do I have to print an updated copy when going for Bio?
