Hi dduchess,
can I travel with an expired tb test (november 12) but my visa has been approved. I intend to travel in December.

dduchess90:
Hello

These interviews differ

It will generally be about your academic progression , your proposed research and how it is novel, contributes to research and what the impact will be

Also discussions around how you will fund your research

Cheers

dduchess90:
Hello

Why are you taking an IELTS test?

Good morning house. Please I paid for my IHS today with my zenith dollar card. It declined but I was debited. I contacted my bank and they said it was on hold that I should get a declined receipt from the merchant. I forwarded the declined notification but they still did not want to accept it. What can I do please. I don't have another money to pay. Anyone with such experience should please help me

Hello House,

Pls I need an advice here.

Going to UK via the HCW visa route.

Sadly, ECCTIS couldn't qualify my BSC (I wasn't issued the e-statement for English proficiency). I attended ESEP University, Benin Rep. I don't have a masters

Pls kindly advice, my job interview is this week.

Is it possible to get a job with a CoS without having any English profiency doc at hand ( I intend to get IELTS instead, but am worried it might take a longer time)

LudaChriz:

BSc, PGD, MSc were all taught and examined in English but some UK universities too de over do. Though this particular University has not said if I will be needing one (and they are silent on previous degree being taught in English) but I'm just asking in case.

I’m trying to apply for admission in Swansea University. They requested a reference letter but am confused, should the reference letter be general “to whom it may concern “ or maybe directly only to the school only. I’m also trying to apply to other school and considering I won’t be able to go back and get reference letters every time I wanted it. Will “To who it may concern “ be okay. Those of you that have gotten admission into universities please let me know the one you used?

dduchess90:
Hello

‘To whom it may concern’ will suffice

Cheers

Please what is the minimum amount of money required for POF to cover flight, accommodation, transportation, feeding, and miscellaneous expenses?

I'll be staying in the UK for just 10 days

Is it advisable to buy a ticket early before visa approval? I’m traveling in April

Yudeeaikay:
Hi, please I need advice on next steps. I did my biometrics yesterday and I got a mail today that I need to top up my IHS fee and right after that I got the NSF mail. I've paid the requested difference for the IHS fee... Is there anyother thing I need to do or should I just wait. Thank you
