Good afternoon Duchess and co, Nice job here mehn. Please I need your advice. I got an offer for MA Education, University of Sunderland, I have fulfilled all CAS Requirements only to be told that they only accept IELTS, I have sent Proof of English Proficiency and asked for a waiver but they insisted, I can't write an IELTS now, so they suggested a Change of Course. Please do anyone know how long a Change of course will take? Including getting a CAS, any General Advise? This will help me plan well. Thanks

C505:

I know these but all I'm trying to understand is from the listed 4,which option describes best to visa application?

the day application is submitted online. This is the date that reflects on your visa form ‘Date of Application along with the time’… the date that the visa officer sees is this one.
Your file is then in the system through till biometrics date, after biometrics it will be electronically transferred for decision to be taken.

Sorted, turns out that he is an agent, that visa alert is just a cover up for fraudulent ad.

that's shocking to hear people use "visa alert" fraudulently

that is how they operate… lmao!

Hi guys, please help judge

MA filled his visa application and forgot to mention one of the countries he has been to, over 10 years ago. He ed to put only the recent one, will this be a problem for him

It is urgent

Thanks

Thanks @Justwise

I have also seen people here asking to be ed for a close biometric date.

I know I have directly replied one and asked if he was doing it for free. I didn't get a response

The funny part is very gullible desperate people will fall victim and get entangled in situations that will not benefit them at all and most times can't come out of.

We will flag it up to you if any happens

Cheers

Hello

Honest error I won't be too concerned

If it was the opposite situation (refusals or ban) then I would

However,if the MA is yet to submit his application he should make the necessary correction

Cheers

Hello

It depends

Did they ask for additional documents for the new course you will be going for?

All I can say is keep chasing with emails and calls.Unis are currently overwhelmed with applications so response may take time

Chase up

Cheers

I was asked to help pay for visa fee for someone, but just realized UKV doesn't accept most naira cards here. Someone was saying I should try Flutterwave or page!

Please which bank or payment platform is best to pay for UK visa fees And with good rates too

Hi duchess90, I have been silently reading this thread and have gathered some information. Now this is my situation: I graduated over 17 years ago. I have a degree in English Education and have a C6 in English in my WAEC. I want to apply for the January intake but I don't want to write IELTS.
My question is, can my C6 in English and degree in English cover for my proficiency in English language? Though I have a MBA about 11 years ago, I want to be silent on it, because I read from some schools website that having a masters degree in equivalent to their own may lead to denial of ission.
Also I haven't made up my mind whether to go for MA Education or MSc Business related courses.
Your honest impute will be highly appreciated.

Hello @duchess

Please I received CAS used mail from my school yesterday, does it mean decision has been made by UKVI?

Can a person in this scenario be allowed to board(UK Visa gotten already):

Possible date of travel 19/08 onwards

Entry date on visa is 19/08/2022

port expires 20/02/2023

Hello

It's a 50% chance

It may also mean that your application is currently accessed.

If it is pas the 3weeks wait time then follow up with a paid mail

Cheers

Good day Nairalander, I applied for a top-up programme for my hnd at a college in London, recently I was told that they can only offer me to study the course from year 1.

I have 14 years study gap... I have been working as a health for about 12 years. What are my chances securing a visa for the BSC program in public health and social care? @Duchess and co

duchess90:
Hello

Yes you can

Cheers

@duchess90

Thank for your response. Must the person stick strictly to exiting Nigeria on 19/08 or can pick further dates in August.Taking into consideration that 20/08/2022 to 20/02/2023 is exactly 6 months

Possible date of travel 19/08 onwards

Entry date on visa is 19/08/2022

port expires 20/02/2023

Any date in August works fine but note that you can't depart Nigeria before the 19th August 2022 date

Sorry, are you by this saying that opting for assisted service gets one a closer bio date than self service option? A confirmed case or your assumption?

Davidandgo:


Do an affidavit for peace of mind. Also, newspaper publication can be fast tracked. If you start now, both can be out by Tuesday next week. Pay for assisted service and have the documents ed during your biometrics (I’m assuming you want to book a date for your biometrics as soon as possible hence the recommendation for assisted service)

June232022:

i am a dependent too

You are not alone. Looks like dependant visa takes longer

Unfortunately the visa centre staffs are behind this, they hold up appointment dates and sell it to applicants, those who benefited from such fraudulent active will turn around and start getting other people linked up to those visa centre staffs.

They need to be exposed, someone need to play along to get all the needed details then publish it in twitter and tag relevant handle.

No, not at all. That was in response to an earlier question asked by someone else

Please anybody who is the only applicant here with self service appointment in Abuja that can confirm to me if he/she was able to do walk-in? I reside in Delta state and I want to be sure I can do walk-in before embarking on the journey to Abuja so as not to waste funds and time going to Abuja and be disappointed. I know it costs 42k. The date I have is too far. Please someone help!!!

Ooh congrats, that means you must have started applying for visa? Please i sent you a request on email, kindly accept it so we can talk better I want to know if there's something I am doing wrongly. It's beginning to bother me. Thanks and congrats again
