Hi everyone, is it necessary to include reference letters from previous places of work. Can employment letters suffice?
I graduated in 2020 and started NYSC in 2021 - 2022, worked from 2022 - 2023. Since then I haven’t been working. Do I need to explain this recent gap and the one immediately after graduation?

Employment letters can suffice in place of reference letters. It’s usually one or the other. I had something from each place I worked in.

I don’t know about your recent study gap but it doesn’t hurt to explain. Just write in as additional information and say what you want to say.

AquilaW:



Yes. Transit Visa.

That’s how you answer.


I declared my July 2014 visa and my October 2014 visa refusal. It is still within 10 years.

So the month doesn't matter? June 2014 to August 2024 is 10 years and 2 months.

Declare it. It is still 2014.

VeeInsider:


How do I reach you?

I have replied you via email

AquilaW:


Declare it. It is still 2014.

Thanks a lot for the response. I will go with yes then and I will declare it as you pointed out. The issue is that it's on my previous expired and lost port so I will not be able to present evidence. I have a police report for the port though.

Hello everyone. I’m a newbie here. I have Bsc in economics (First class honors) and would love to pursue my masters in the Uk. I have the following questions:

1. I need suggestions of schools with very affordable tuition or gives a reasonable discount for first class degree.

2. Paying the full fees will not be a problem but money for living expenses might be the problem. I will know like to know about available student jobs and cities i can find it easily.

3. I need advice on the course I can take . I was thinking of MSc public health or Something along AI and Data analysis.

Your advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello house,
1. Please does anyone know how much police character report costs?

2. Do you have a genuine there too at Alagbon?

With your first class I would advise you to look at schools in the US, GSU should be your top priority to get full funding except there’s a specific reason you choose to study in the UK.

It costs 30k do it yourself don't let anyone collect extra money from you. Go to the police Character report website of the Nigerian Police Force. See here https://possap.gov.ng

I did mine outside Nigeria on that website and the Nigerian Police Force mailed it to me in a Pdf format. I repeat it only costs 30k and everything will be done on that website with your debit card.

After you've done it go to alagbon for your biometric capture if you are in Lagos and if outside Lagos go to the NPF State Headquarters you reside in that's if you are still in Nigeria and if you are abroad already NPF would email a biometric form for you to thumbprint, scan and send back to them. You'll get it within 72hrs.

Bro, kindly be chilled. You've submitted and done biometrics already. The statement you got from your mobile app is 100% okay.

D990:

You’re welcome ma.

Tell her to open a pounds for her peace of mind.The child can start working on his personal statement because new ission cycle will open in September.Set up a UCAS and start working on the application around september.
Does the child have their qualifications already? They should be quick about making a university choice so as to know which exams he/she might need to for.(e.g A-levels,IB etc).Most of these exams have scheduled dates. Waec is not accepted by most of them for BSc.

Thank you for the ..

I've given her all the information she needs as my three children did their A Levels and University in the UK so I'm very familiar with the process and the UK education system. However, none of my children studied computer science and I didn't want to tell her what I know nothing about.

Tell her to give them a paid call today, since decision has been made, TLS is the one delaying you now. Just give them a paid call and they will sort her application this week

Hello Guys,

I started my POF on July 24, and the start date of my statement will be July 25. I'm finding it hard to determine the exact date it will be 28 days.

From my calculation, it is August 22, and this is the same day I intend to submit my application.

Am I right? Thank you in advance.

You are correct.

However, I suggest you submit your application on 23 o[b][/b]r 24 August - in case their calculation differs from yours.
