Congratulations, finally someone going to RGU, please can you tell me your step by step after paying deposit. Thank you

After paying deposit, CAS was sent. Then TB and visa application

Maygirl953:
Thank you so much Latinah. What loan companies are recognized by the UK embassy? For instance, companies like prodigy finance. I'm looking for any company I can get loan from for my studies and also use the loan as POF. I want to go for masters in computing.

Secondly, if I don't want to continue in the masters program and decide to go for another program entirely no matter the level, will I have to come back to Nigeria and start a fresh visa application or I can stay over there in the UK and make my changes?

Hi, you’re allowed to use loan but it must be from a bank regulated by the financial regulators in the country in which the money is held. A loan letter within the 6 months before the date you submit your online application will be required.

So Prodigy finance is not acceptable as you will be applying from Nigeria.

Babababy:


If you are applying for entry clearance under any of the following visa routes, you must provide a criminal record certificate for any country (excluding the UK) where you have lived for 12 months or more (whether continuous or in total), in the 10 years before your application, while aged 18 or over.

Tier 1 (Entrepreneur)
Tier 1 (Investor)
Skilled Worker in education, health or social care sectors
Dependent partner (over 18 years old) of the main applicant in any of the above routes, either together with the main applicant or separately

The above are the categories of people I know that require a Police report before arrival in the UK, and as per student , some certain student from some countries are required to do a mandatory police clearance report upon arrival and Nigeria is not on that list. And it is usually stated on the vignette.If its not on the vignette then you dont need it.

What time did you do you biometrics that day?

kayalade123:

Man, it was transferred to VAC this morning but I'm yet to receive the collection mail.

One take home I have gotten from this is that I didn't read the UKVI website well and I had a misconception, Priority service doesn't mean you would get your travel documents within 5 working days, it means UKVI will try to make a decision on your application within 5 working days, when you collect it from VAC however is another ball game which depends on when a decision on your application was made.

So anybody that is yet to apply or did biometrics recently, if you don't receive a collection mail on the 5th working day, don't panic.

Hi Guys,

For institution that requires statement of for issuance of CAS, can I still use that statement for visa purpose ?

Hi,

I don't think so from my own personal findings though.

Please recently got itted in Swansea, tuition deposit has been paid , please how do I work out the proof of fund thing ? I'm here in Abuja , help would be appreciated bigtime and do I still have time ? I intend to do priority visa too .

Hi All,

I received a refusal letter from Pretoria today.

Reason they give is that my certificate that i used 5 years to obtain is not genuine.

"You have submitted a 2008 Bachelor of Science degree certificate in your name
which was purportedly issued by the University of Ibadan. However examination
of the document by a forgery officer have led to the conclusion that this
document is not genuine. These checks have been documented in a document
examination report (DER) held by our office. I am satisfied that you have
submitted a false document in of your application. Your application is
therefore refused under Paragraph 9.7.1 (a) of the Immigration Rules."

They examined scanned copy ooo and reached conclusion. no email for confrimation or verificationwas sent to school because I already checked with school this afternoon.

Please i need advise. istrative review takes a long time from what I have been reading here. Please any advise is welcome

@Justwise et al

Thanks all

Mine just dropped too. August 9th and walk in.

Sorry about this, did you receive an email for it or it was when you collected your port you saw it?

An istrative review seems to be the only option, however, if you were not banned then you can also consider reapplying, but first of all get in touch with your school international team, they will be the best to advice you on what to do next and if you will be issued another CAS.

If you intend to do walk in tomorrow make sure are there by 5am if possible 4am. You might be lucky to still do biometrics on the same day if the list is well coordinated or you go there tomorrow by 12pm or 1pm to write down the last 4 digits of your application number which Starts with GWF to enable you do biometrics on Wednesday.

Was there pre-CAs interview?
Also did you submit pof before cas was issued ?
Lastly, how long did all the CAs thing take?
Thank you for your response
