How easy is it to get a job straight from Nigeria? I'm considering school because I feel it's easier and it gives one a kinder of edge.

So you don't feel the career progression reason won't apply?

Not impossible but may be difficult to get jobs in the UK and being in the cyber security field gives you an edge because there are a lot of opportunities in that space

I think you can just generate a new payment slip and

You have to do so before it expires

Skin90:

Good evening gurus, if as a student in the UK and your program hasn't ended and you get an employer who is willing to give sponsorship to switch to tier 2 , can the student accept? Are their implications?
Thanks

A close relative was in a similar situation last year. She started her course in September 21 and got a sponsorship job 3 months later. Her sponsor knew she was on a student visa, still new in the country but didn’t see it as a problem. I recall she queried about the 3 month timeline in the UKVI guideline but her sponsor clarified that it wouldn’t affect her application.

She got her COS, applied and was granted a 5 year Tier 2 visa in February. She is now working full time, still studying albeit on a different visa category. Judging from her outcome, I’ll say it’s possible to switch while you’re a student as long as you meet the requirements.

Be aware that no one here can tell you what your outcome will be as every case differ. I’ll advise that you speak to your sponsor about your concerns. This is what my relative did and her employer was more than happy to assist her throughout the process.

You are right

Statement generated from mobile app or online banking platforms usually don't have those opening and closing summaries.

Better to walk into the bank

Ayowolebami:


The email states that your statement does not have a closing balance clearly stated on your statement. That might be an issue cause ordinarily, a statement should have an opening and closing balance clearly stated.

Is your statement mobile app generated one or you walked into the branch to request for a stamped statement? I’d advise you request your statement from your branch. That way, it has the required details and crystal clear for an ECO to easily understand.

Guys I don't understand the actual amount for VISA and IHS anymore. Someone should assist with the currect amount for both.

When should I apply for Visa?
quote author=duchess90 post=113643650]Hello,

I know it can be quite confusing but I agree with others have said. All documents including POFs should be ready (altleast 28days) before application is made.

Here is a screenshot from Gov.UK website on this anology, it explains better.

Cheers

Hello

During visa application.

However some schools may request them during ission processes.When you are issued CAS it means you have fulfilled all the conditions the school requires


Cheers

Happyfellow147:

@bigtt76

Thanks so much really appreciate

Go on and apply, the abnormality spotted is not something to affect your application. They are looking for TB and if spotted, they won't issue you that certificate. Their mentioning it, is to your advantage. Don't judge your reality with someone else's. All the best

Kcallerpsi:


No, I haven’t, for I am still waiting for my CAS from Lincoln. But fret not, certificates won’t be issued if there was sign of TB. The extra X-ray was for them to conclude, for not being sure about the first one.
Those people bent me anyhow sha for the extra X-ray lol

Please do we have anyone who is currently studying or studied at the East London University? I haven't seen much talks about it and I will love to hear Nairalanders honest reviews.

Jay5mie:
Please house, does school reputation determine if the embassy would grant you visa or not? I got an ission from Bedfordshire uni and I'm worried if the reputation of the school is high enough to be granted easy visa before paying a deposit of 4.5mil naira(65% of total fees).

Congratulations on your ission. How long did it take them to give you ission? I just applied to them a week ago.

I also know a friend's friend there and she was given visa. So I don't think it affects your visa chances. Just have your documents as required

duchess90:

I applied in March and got the ission ending of April. Overlooked it cos i was looking for a Canadian ission but I'm back to it now after weighing my options.

Good evening everyone... Please when filling the Visa application... Under the "Dependent Details" if d main applicant is the husband, am I to input both my wife and kid or just my kid.

Mind you, I have stated under "Spouse Details" that my wife is travelling with me.

Linking doesnt relate to biometrics. Refers to inputting main applicants gwf number on your online application

Alliswell123:



I’m not aware of that, we didn’t do biometrics the same day

Safe to add both of them. Thats what i did

They specifically asked for a statement dated before your application. Go back and reread that email. Youre to resubmit the statement you initially tendered
