You will be ed by the Visa Application Centre when your documents are ready for collection, or have been dispatched via courier where this is relevant.

Good morning everyone,

I just stumbled on this, do we have anyone in Bradford university, I'm currently waiting for offer letter to progress my relocation to UK through student Visa.

I have an offer from them. Sept but deferred to January

Greetings My People,

Do you know what exchange rate calculator UKVI utilize for foreign currency exchange rates?

Paid last week with UBA.. the rate was 580.8/GBP

Please I am yet to understand something, is it cheaper paying from Nigeria because the person who I want to help me pay my deposit in the UK is charging me the normal black market rate.

A big congratulations to you guys. Can you please shed more lights on how you obtained the transit visa? I believe you did since you traveled with klm.
Thanks

Yes sir, but yours is still good. You will have more legal experience. I wanted to apply for the LPC but none was available for January intake, so I had to settle for LLM (general law).

.

Correct. But The LPC option applies only to those with a UK LLB or GDL Degree. But in any case, it’s phased out now - and replaced with the SQE 1 & 2.

it is cheaper with form A for school fees. Go to your bank and ask for this. Black market rate is a whole lot

Please I need help or link from anyone in Scotland in securing an accommodation at Paisley, Scotland. I have been trying to get an accommodation, my travelling date is getting close. Thank you

Please I am yet to understand something, is it cheaper paying from Nigeria because the person who I want to help me pay my deposit in the UK is charging me the normal black market rate.

Nigerian banks use the official CBN rate.. therefore it is cheaper than black market rate...

Black market rate for GBP is about 730 while Official bank rate is 580 to 590...

Choose wisely bro.

Ayorindejenny:


Have you gotten accommodation, how did you get it?

No, I haven't. Getting one seems difficult. Would you wish to connect on whatsapp for enhanced communication?

A big congratulations to you guys. Can you please shed more lights on how you obtained the transit visa? I believe you did since you traveled with klm.
Thanks

The transit visa is for only 1stop in the schengen area. While the shortstay visa is for more than 1 stop. Please confirm that your flight is just one stop before you go ahead.

Applied on the website. Made payment for appointment - about 20k per person

Went for biometrics and paid for the visa - about 40k per person

Visa / port was returned in 3 days.

Documents needed.
Visa application.
VFS appointment confirmation.
port.
port photographs with white background
Bank statement for 1month.
Make copies before you go or inside the venue....those outside are pricey.

erietters:


Did they ask for accommodation or where you will be isolating?

Yes. Forgot that bit.
I landed in an airport far from my school but close to where I will be isolating

So she asked why i came through there, I told her its the closest to place X where I would be isolating.

Urgent please

Hello Folks,
Please I need all the advice I can get so I don't make a costly mistake.

I recently secured an ission in Teesside University, Middlesbrough, UK.(Data Science and Analytics)..

The tuition fee I'm to pay is approximately £15k ( over 4 or 5 instalments).

Now my question is:
What are the prospects of me being able to raise this sum of money from side jobs I'd take up, considering the limited work hours permit for student visas. (£15k looks like a lot of money and I'd overstretch myself to meet up with payment).

My bro has been advising me to ignore the ission and apply to US schools next year and see if I can secure ission on scholarship ( He's currently schooling on scholarship)...

He says trying to meet up with the £15k tuition payment would wear me out and drastically affect my performance at school, which makes no sense in the long run.

Please House, what do you think?? Are there chances of raising such funds within the 1year period

Please I need all the advise I can get.

Please what does non straightforward email means from UKVI
