Hello sir/Ma

I was applying to Sheffield Hallam uni. with my HND, they asked me to input my start date and end date,
Should I enter the date I started my OND and enter the date I complete my HND as the end date?

Or I should just enter the start and end date of my HND?

Do I need to both OND and HND certificate or only HND?

If youve done change of name then use whats on the name change docs. If you haven't done then she should use her name. It doesnt matter

I am applying for UK school for my wife I am her dependant, Is it a must use my Surname as her family name or should I use her name as it appear on her Certificate.

Does using my surname really matter?

SpongeBobSP:
So my personal statement actually exceeds this 4000, and I'll have to it, but I just want to be sure it won't be a problem exceeding that max allowed characters. Please, respond to this guys. Thanks.

There is no need in writing lengthy personal statement, hit the nail on the head, sell yourself as if an interview, and why you choose the school/UK.
I aced an offer with 560 words

It matters nothing.

Since she didn't change her last name after wedding, then you maintain the status quo.

Just have ing documents that you are both married and in a relationship.

Canterbury is a beautiful town and you'd love it if you're into picturesque landscapes. It's also a quiet place.

The study experience is cool. The teaching quality is high but not as high and vigorous as its neighbour - UoK; you're expected to produce the highest quality work on your studies but once you get a good grip of your academic writing style and engage with your course, it's easier to do.

Students jobs are in constant supply. There's a club (club chemistry and its sister club, Tokyo Tea rooms - you can search them up on Facebook) in town that are constantly recruiting; no bartending or club work experience is required, they train newbies. They pay minimum wage which increases depending on how long you've been with them.
You can also work on UoK campus (Venue night club, school cleaning dept, the school food stores e.t.c) or off campus (stores on the high street, bars and more are constantly recruiting); the school jobs pay just the minimum wage, no extras. The job shops in CCCU and UoK also constantly post on and off- campus jobs on its site and its doors.
Your best bet for work would be Club Chemistry if you don't mind working at night, they also have programs with music artistes and DJs, charity events e.t.c from time to time which will give you more than 20hours (in 2-3 days) when it's not term time. If you end up going there, go to Club chemistry/Tokyo Team rooms and ask to speak to the manager or check their website for their s and send them a mail or call them.

The East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust also usually has part-time jobs available.

Living expense is quite low if you don't go for the extras or on-campus accommodation.

*Accommodation ranges from 290 to around 500 for shared apartments. One of the houses I lived in was fully finished with 5 bedrooms which ranged from £320 (single room) - £400 (double room) which included all bills (Internet/Gas/Electricity/Water). It is close to the city centre so it is easier to shop and access buses to school/work/church.
CCCU is very close to the twon centre so you could walk on some days if you want.

* Food costs the same as across London, I spent around £ 20-30 on food (Cereal, pasta and the likes) monthly because I usually had like 5-8 bowls of soup/stew which sometimes lasted me 6 weeks (I usually got this each time I went home in London so I didn't pay for this). Major purchases like a 5kg bag of rice, yam flour, poundo e.t.c cost me about £20 amd lasted for about 2 months. There's also just one African store close to the city centre (not sure if this has changed cos it's been a while since I visited).

*Transportation is quite cheap. At the start of each session, Stagecoach has a 9-month Unirider ticket offer for travel within Kent and East Sussex at around £250. You just need to show your card + student ID when you board buses; extra cost applies if you're going outside the coverage areas. If you don't buy the Unirider ticket, each return trip will cost you around £3.50.

Gentle21:
Good morning, please, I'm already in the UK and needs to transfer money from Nigerian bank to an in the UK. Please, do anyone knows the means to achieve this. I have Domiciliary Visa Card with GTB but I'm paying into someone in the UK. Please, help.

to your web online banking, click on FX transactions, then click FX transactions to other banks, then click on new request and fill the required details.Transaction would be done in USD but Pounds will be credited to the receiver at the current exchange rate. You also have the option of paying for the offshore charges in Naira.

Madeforher:


Please when did you get the offer? And is it for May or September intake? Still waiting for their offer for May intake

September

Please I would really appreciate any help from anyone here on how to resolve this. The Visa has still not been given to him and the bone of contention now is they are refusing to stamp the new port. The embassy has been mailed several times but no response till now.

justwise:


He has not done anything wrong, there is no need to the embassy for anything. The TLS guy is talking nonsense

Good day good people. Please is it compulsory for a fresh graduate who have not served (NYSC) apply for masters in the UK?

Yes, you can. I also got the response from the university rep in Nigeria.

kenniekel:

who informed you that someone is refusing to stamp new port? Nobody is privy to such information except he was directly ed by homeoffice. Did homeoffice him? TLS is not homeoffice, TLS is only a visa application centre and have no bearing on who gets a visa or not

kennykale:


If it exceeds the 4000 it as a word document.

Thanks bro, just wanted clarity.

SpongeBobSP:


Na, you're not getting me.
It's not that I'm choosing to go against the rules or whatever, I just want to be sure it's not a trick way of eliminating people lol, cos at the bottom there they did say, if it exceeds....
Means it can be allowed??
It was just a bit confusing, the reason I asked.

Now I get you. That means you are safe to as a word document if it exceeds the maximum words required.

SPDAZZY:


Try filling other parts of the form while intermittently going back to it, it will keep going down.

For instance, you can fill address; return to it, try scrolling down again; fill email, go back to it. Like that until it stabilisés.

Make sure your network is strong. Are you using a mobile phone?

Tanz dear. I used Laptop, fone & Tablet. I had no choice than to select Australia so it can move to the next page. The fomA was approved but I did not do the follow up with the Bank because it took 3weeks for the approval

Thank you

Hello, not sure who gave you this information, but from the UK website, the process is now issuance of CAS commences 6 months to ission and got same confirmation from a UK school when i asked.

You are both correct " most schools start issuing CAS 3 months @ the earliest to any intake" while UKVI clearly states it that it's 6 months.
The question to ask is has anyone been issued a student visa 6 months to their start dates?

As you are both aware, schools have diff start dates, imagine a school still busy with Jan intakes, how would that school be attending to May intake in November or December of the preceding year?

Probable Start Dates that I know of depending on the course and the school

Jan
Feb
April
May
June
Sept
October

mechoau:

Please I need an advise, I was refused student visa in 2015 reason because I used my older brother as my sponsor with his bank statements. The ECO stated that and I quote, I am satisfied that you have employed deception when making an application for entry clearance I therefore refused this application under 320(7a). After that I was awarded zero point for maintenance. The final conclusion was, given The above I have refused your visa application on this occasion because I am not satisfied that you meet all of the requirements of Paragraph 245zv of the immigration rules. I was given istrative Review but I did use use it that is because we realised the mistake that I should have put the fundS in my . Since 2016 -2019 things were rough for us hoping 2020 I will apply again with my and declare my refusal but COVID happened . Now 2022 we are fully ready everything in place for sept intake, I intend to declare my refusal but what is my chances since I will be using my personal for this application and my family are still my sponsor for mY masters degree program. Please I need everyone‘s opinion. Especially @justwise. Godbless us all. Thank God

I think your HND should suffice
