yispa:
I did and I have gotten my visa, infact the visa was approved 2 days after my biometric based on the date on my BRP letter. I agree the quality is poor, but if you insist you want a better quality they will use a good printer. That was exactly, what I did. What was printed initially for me was a very poor quality with black ink stamp and signature in black biro. Everything looking like a poor quality photocopy. I insisted I won't take it because am paying for it and that other banks have a better quality statement. STANBIC is bigger than this and the quality is taking away from their brand with small shakara that I did at that branch. They started begging me and printed a better quality with a purple ink stamp and signature in blue biro. Again if they are re-printing you need to be sure they are re printing exacting the first statement they gave you.compare the two and ensure its the same,both Inflow and outflow percentage and the transactions.

Thank you so much. I am glad you understand

Okrikarepublik:
Whichever slot asks for reason for state what happened like you said and quote the stamped number on the port.
For every denial before 2018 there about , port comes with a stamped page "UK VISA" and some numbers.

Thank you so much for your response
Unfortunately the only stamp on that port was at the very last page (UK ABUJA) with a number written with date below it
It’s just confusing

Hi Guys. Pls has any one used UBA Bank for form A recently and how long did it take to get debited. Keystone said they have long queues.

Temitope:


I don't think Sunderland does that because I had a US tourist refusal which I declared to the school and my cas was issued at the right time.

Then you’re lucky.

Cheap hotels full there.

Hi scobyy2007, am heading to Bristol this Sept family of 6. We've been looking at hotels and short-term accommodation pending when we get a house but everything online seems so expensive for a large family.

I want to assume you are in Bristol? Could you please make a suggestions area or close cities to Bristol student's with dependents can easily get accommodation.

I have done some research too for cwmbran, newport, cardiff,Swindon. I wanted to know your recommendation in of jobs and cost of living in those places i listed,I believe this will help alot of us heading to Bristol .

Also if anyone else can suggest and assist with the above it will be highly appreciated.

The set of numbers commencing with "9....." is the reference number you need to quote. You dont need to get the refusal letter, just state in the form under past refusals that you applied on so-and-so date and cant the refusal reason/have requested it, but quote that reference and that's all.

You had best do this yourself when you come to England. You will be better placed to assess transport links and feasibility of whatever you plan combined with your studies when you come.

Advisable you rent temporary accommodation through Airbnb for one month. Then after your arrival/end of quarantine you move around, make your own findings on the spot as to what's best for you. With 4 children you'll be looking at things like school locations, etc.

teewaik:
Please i just needed to ask this. If one has an opportunity of choosing between teeside university with £6500( after discount), MBA with placement year and on the other hand, University of Lincoln, same MBA and with no placement and fees of £11,600. Which one is better.

And also do teeside still request for bank statement cos i didn't see any of that on the unconditional letter i got. All I saw was to pay a £4000 deposit.

Mind you Lincoln does not request for statement or pre-cas interview bla bla,as per what i heard about teeside( if that still stands).

The decision is yours, but for what its worth, don't count on the placement year thing - finding a placement is not as easy as it looks on the university's advertising brochure.

hello, how did you go about this?

Justice2700:
Good evening gurus in the house
I realized that the address on my bank statement is different from the address on my CAS. I already booked my biometrics appointment but still ing documents since I choose self service. I am thinking of going to the bank to update my bank address so it can match that of the CAS. This bank statement was what I showed the school before they issued a CAS.
Please is there any need going to update it, my biometrics is on Friday.

yea good morning

And UK don land.

Thank you to everyone on this space, some of who I emailed with one or two questions, everyone who s us here one way or the other, everyone who posts and answers questions, I appreciate all of you .
We will all celebrate. For everyone waiting, I can't wait to celebrate with you all too.

Hi, good morning. I also applied to Hull and yet to get a decision. Have you got it? lets connect please

Rells:
Hello everyone.

Please I applied for PG in derby and hull and I am working towards sept 22.

Not gotten any response yet. Although i have called them and they want me to be a little patient. I am also not totally reliant on their scholarships but happy to have it to relieve some pressure. I also applied for grants to be decided towards end of July.

So two things, I am expecting ission letters this month and secondly the decision on scholarship in July, even though I will like to begin to push for my visa when i get the offer.

Pls can I meet up with travelling in September at this rate? Should I also make the part-payment when my offer letter is released? And how does this tie to the scholarship decision?

The wait was killing..imagine 15 working days for visa application and another 6days to recieve port.it was meant to be delivered on friday but when i tracked, they said "due to adverse weather condition" it couldnt be delivered i just had to make "patience" my friend

Good morning beautiful people.

Is it possible for a standard visa to be approved in 10 working days.

Thanks for your advice, I was looking at renting from oversea looking at prices for a month for my family size airbnb will coat me more than renting outrightly.

However the short term accommodation will be my final resort if unable to rent from here.

Thank you once again.

Congratulations please check your email.

Good morning family, the waiting for CAS from Manchester Metropolitan University is frustrating. Documents were sent on 28th June and till date no response. I have sent many emails and made phone calls, but still the same.

Please who is going through this experience in the house?
