Another 29th good news, congratulations! which uni are you heading to?

Thank you once again, the uni is Oxford Brookes University.....

This forum has been really insightful, read through almost all the pages. I got my VISA today, I applied on the 29th of Aug at Lekki, status changed yesterday 16th September. I wanna say a big thank you to the moderator (@Justwise) and everyone that has contributed. God bless!!!

Renew your passport before applying for visa because you don't have upto 6months validity in that passport to meet the requirement

I don't know any other way of going about change of name apart from what you stated there.

Thank you for your prompt response, I was told I have to go to Abuja to get it done.

@justwise, I want to apply for a tier4 student visa and need to know if I can apply in Aug when my international passport will be expiring in Dec, 2013. I will also like to know the procedure to change name on international passport for a man, this the reason why i have not renewed my passport because I changed my last name with affidavit and newspaper publication as legal documents. I have heard different contradictory things and I really need to know the procedure as time is of the essence to me.
