Dear all

Good evening

Anyone here has experience using Naric certificate in place of IELTS?

I gained an offer to study occupational therapy and I was mandated to write IELTS. I have an English proefficiency from Naric.

Would it be acceptable?
Any rule that mandates all going to health to write IELTS?

Anyone with experience here pls

It’s not only your school. They have not started issuing CAS for January intake. They will start issuing it by second week of October.[/quote]m

Most schools have started giving CAS for January intake

Do you have idea if anyone has used micro finance bank for proof of fund recently?

Microfinance bank are accepted as long as they're cbn approved. And be sure the bank will respond to ukvi incase of verification of funds. I have friend who used microfinance and he got his visa

Thanks so much.. it's my agent that insists j should use globus instead of micro finance bank and their rate is a bit reasonable than globus and still give like 5 days free extension

Which micro finance bank?
You should be very sure it's operating under cbn approval,some micro finance bank aren't operated with approval. For example parallex bank operated for hears before it was licenced under cbn to operate as a commercial bank.

They don't Renewable and Sustainable Energy. I have asked the school to change my course. I pray they accept.

I'm in the same shoe too..Already get an unconditional offer for PhD program and got partial scholarship, i only need to pay 4000 pounds tuition deposit to obtain my CAS which I'm not sure if that will happen cuz I can't afford to come up with it. I'm a single mom who is trying so hard to cater for my daughter and myself. I tried prodigy finance and couple of few others too no luck..I will appreciate if anyone can suggest or help with any other options cuz it's really a
great chance for me to turn things around and I pray I don't miss it cuz life has really been very though for me without no or connection. I struggled to finished my M.Sc with the token I make from my tailoring hustle. I pray my helper locate me soon. Even if it's a study loan I will pay back

Hello Deeja,
I'm trying to secure a PhD ission too, but l haven't published yet.

I would like to know if you've published and if it played a role in your ission.

I think you only need a research proposal and find a supervisor at the school you want to apply to..I don't think the publication is compulsory. Once you meet all the entry requirements and your proposal is approved by the supervisor you're good

Good day everyone,
I have been expecting a decision on my Visa, at first they asked for evidence of what I have been doing since I graduated in 2016,i provided everything, all my offer letters and 2 reference letters from my current job, they then sent a mail the next day requesting for bank statement of about 28,500 pounds, this figure was wrong as they didn't put into consideration my 4500 scholarship given by the school as stated in my CAS, I replied the mail with evidence that what I needed to proof as funds was 24,000 pounds, I resent my bank statement and I highlighted the part of my CAS that stated I was given a scholarship of 4500, I sent the statement and evidence of my scholarship as stated on my CAS on Thursday last week, today is Monday and today makes it 15 working days since I did my biometric on the 9th of September.. My school university of Essex begins lectures on the 3rd of October for my course,which is this week, pls who has an idea what I can do.. A paid mail or what exactly?

POE transcript.

After using Turkish airline from Lagos to Birmingham (layover at Istanbul for about 2 hours), we finally arrived at Birmingham airport by 9:45 but started deboarding by 10:15.

Immigration Officer: Hello good morning
Me: Good morning sir
Immigration Officer: May I know where you boarded from?
Me: Lagos, Nigeria
Immigration Officer: Via Istanbul right?
Me: Yes sir
Immigration Officer: Why are you in the UK?
Me: For studies
Immigration Officer: Which school is that?
Me: I told him
Immigration Officer: What course?
Me: Told him
Immigration Officer: Is this your first time in the UK?
Me: Yes sir
Immigration Officer: Ok. Please place your finger on the machine (a fingerprint machine was there)
Me: I did it.
Immigration Officer: *stamps port* Ok that will be all. Have a nice day
Me: Thank you sir.

He didn't even ask all the questions i was expecting, like CAS letter, bank statement, accommodation etc. Maybe na my luck sha or the airport is not that busy.
But that Istanbul airport big oh, see as people just dey waka yet e no end. When i was looking for where to book my transfer flight, the guy checking was asking the questions i was expecting the UK immigration officer to ask (which school are you going, what course do you want to study, do you have your CAS with you?). For my mind i dey look say shay dis one ya werey ni? but i sha dey answer am make he stamp port make i meuve, na so he carry port go meet him second dey talk something for him hear, that one look port just dismiss am, naso the werey come give me my port oh.
The Lagos to Istanbul flight was very long and tiring, and we hit a few turbulence (took something like 5 - 6 hours) but the Istanbul to Birmingham flight was shorter and smoother. Anyways me I don enter UK oh, na to start school remain. Safe journey to others coming in and good luck to the visa hopefuls.
