kennyweeves: Advice from my people.

To book flight to manchester intl.

I saw that emirates is cheeper like 117k but everyone keep telling me to use KLM which is 250k.

Abeg who has used emirates b4?

Isn't it good?

emirates is good. its just that you have to fly down to middle east before heading to europe. Their service is good. The only advt klm has is dat ur journey time may be shorter.

IntroVAT:

I've decided against arik.I was just told by Arik I can't for a student, and that even if I book a return flight since i'm going for a 3 year course, the return will be forfeited. Ridiculous

Or is that the same for all flights? For longer terms like mine, the return is forfeited?

So if I want to book for a return, what should the return date be in my case? What's the maximum a ticket can be held for?

when i went for my undergrad, i doubt my dad bought a return for me. Even now im going for my masters i didnt book return. Dunno tho. Different strokes i guess. Have u tried emirates?

Olisedinma: @royal34: Nice, congrats and enjoy your studies

thanks Goodluck with your application tommorrow!

alizenbohr:

Pls when did you submit your application @ VFS?

GeneralShepherd:

Yes. Submitted on 9th got my approval email on the 15th and collected today the 19th. All in September 2014

ok, nice one. when is the collection time?

unistudent1: I just want to know
1. Has anyone submitted in Abuja since September 15th? I'm worried about how long it will take if I submit there.

2. Do you think I'd have a quicker reply at the Abuja Teleperformance or at the Ikeja VFS?

Thanks for all your replies so far. Very helpful.

its better you submit in ikeja vfs if spaces are stil available atleast i got my approval mail within 4 working days.

GeneralShepherd: I've collected my passport today, also booked my favourite air maroc. My flight ticket is dedicated to 042 boy spikesC without who I for no know say 77k go fight carry person go obodo mama charley.

princess211: Royal34 have u picked ur passport

Not yet. Waiting till mon.

please has anyone that got approval mail from ikeja on the 16th picked up their passport yet? what is the collection time?

mhoreh: So my nerves had been worked since yesterday cos of my refusal history which i didn't have documents to back up, but then i wrote in the extra information box that i was underage and cant find the required documents

Let's forget the story
I just got the almighty approval mail "Your application has been approved and the visa has been issued. We aim to return passports to the VAC within 2 working days. You can check the location of your passport at www.tpcontact.co.uk " i applied on the 12th at ikeja

Thanks to all them bosses in the house, your real time info had been worth it and my GOD has smiled on me, despite all the hiccups i scaled through
Sheffield Hallam Leggoooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

congrats!

tolurode: @royal34
If you have not given him money, you can book yourself and besides Qatar airways is Overpriced at 250k, you should be able to get a direct flight for that price.

Thanks he booked emirates instead at almost half that price.

Olisedinma: @ royal34: it is better u book yourself,he is only telling u that so he can get something for his daily bread otherwise anyone can book flights to anywhere.

Out of curiosity,how much were u billed?quote author=royal34]


im booking today sha. of all d flights that leave on the day i chose, emirates was the most reasonable.btw im using an agent oh. i wanted to book myself but my dad's agent said its not possible. dunno if he was lying or not but the price on their website looked cheaper than the price he gave me.

lol he has already booked oh! same thing i told my dad but its all good. i wanted to use qatar, He sed its 250k meanwhile on d website it says $549 which may be equivalent to 120k

princess211: Got approval mail tues 16th. Any hope of getting my passport from ikeja vfs today @ 48 hrs advise in approval mail.

please do let us know the outcome. Goodluck.

EAkoteyon: ello guys, has anyone booked for
flight lately? Please, I need advice on
how to get a reasonable flight. one
way or return ticket pls with price. If
agents involved give details pls.
Wanna travel next week.

im booking today sha. of all d flights that leave on the day i chose, emirates was the most reasonable.btw im using an agent oh. i wanted to book myself but my dad's agent said its not possible. dunno if he was lying or not but the price on their website looked cheaper than the price he gave me.

princess211: @royal34. Pls where and when will ube picking your passport, ikeja vfs? Cos my approval mail made reference to tpcontact.co.uk.

Thanks.

mine also made reference to www.tpcontact.co.uk , thats if you want to check ur passport location. it does say the passport would be returned within two working days to VAC. im guessing that is where we submitted d documents. so i intend travelling to lag sometime next week to pick it up there. if u stay in lag u can go on fri tho. congrats!

gbemmiey:

Yay!!!! Congrats!

Olisedinma: @royal34. Yay!!! Congrats. Good to hear. Where are u heading?

Glasgow!!! All d best with urs!

Olisedinma: @ royal34. Thanks for d info. I had to book my appointment today,i don't want TP issh.Have you received any mail as regards your visa yet? Keep us updated.

yes boss! just got an approval mail.

Guys, God came through for me! ha my visa has been issued. Godbless you lot for your help. Those waiting for theirs please have hope, believe that it would be issued. I cant believe this cos i made a lot of terrible mistakes on my form. i also put insufficient money in my dad's acc heck it was d last minute i calculated and saw dat i was using a wrong figure so i had to use a deposit account statement to make up for it. Oshe God!!!! whoot whoot!! super excited mehn.

Olisedinma: Hello House,

Is there anyone who applied and submitted his online application before the count of the 28days rule and dropped his documents on the day he chose his appointment that got his visa? I need to know cos as it stands,going by what I have been reading on this thread, TP is a no go area(soon to be tier 4 Lords),so I can chose VFS before they run out of appointment spaces.

Cc justwise,SpikesC,anyone response pls.

my 28th day was on d 8th but i did my online application on d 1st, submitted in ikeja on d 10th. im hoping to get my visa tho.

goldendraco: Good morning everyone, I think I have a problem. Am about to submit my application tried booking appointment at ikeja centre but the available date is on the 23rd and school resumes on the 26th. But teleperformance vi that people are been warned to stay away from have date starting from on the 15th. Should I book for ikeja or go with teleperformance vi.

it would be wise to book ikeja judging from this thread. Also find out your uni's latest date of resumption.

IntroVAT: Hello everyone..Thanks for all your responses so far. If I had to pay for everyone of them i'll be broke by now

My interview is tomorrow and i've been preparing for it with the questions i've been seeing here. The questions are thankfully similar

BUT what wasn't stated was the duration of the response. Please for those that have been granted visa how long should the average response be? Seconds? Minutes?

I already know my answer should be short and precise, but please what is too short?

Finally, what should my reply be to this question if it's asked:
What are your plans after study? Will you return home or remain in the UK?

I have plans for a masters degree after Undergraduate studies, so how should I answer this?

Thanks

These are the questions i was asked:
name, dob and nationality

course and uni name

why study the course and why study in d chosen uni

why study in uk

did u understand all d questions asked

Godbless everyone of u richly! im through with my interview! you guys rock. my wait begins

royal34: please is the appendix 8 the same as the declaration form? if no , how can i get it.
so i saw £800 as the maintenace fee on the appendix 8 form and they said it should reflect in your account for 9months. i used 820×12months to be on the safe side. hope that is ok o. cos i saw somewhere else that it should be 820.
