The Guardian seems to report it differently, and also quotes the Department for Education as saying the elongation will be for graduates:
“who have successfully completed a course in any subject at undergraduate level or higher at a higher education provider with a track record of compliance, and have tier 4 [visa] at the point the route is introduced,”

Congratulations!

Onyebuenyim:

It was standard, it just came out today and she was granted the visa.
Timeline:
Submitted online application: 31 July
Biometrics: 7 August
Passport collection mail: 4 September
Visa was issued for PBS dependant

Wow. Was it standard or priority service?

Onyebuenyim:
processing for my wife but her application has been with UKVI for up to 20 working days now, I don't understand the delay.. Tier 4 dependant should take the normal waiting time for any other Visa application.

How long does it take to process a tier 4 dependent visa? Has anyone here processed this before? Any idea anyone, please? My family is expected to join me.

Ok. Thanks. I already did

Zoey1:
Congrats.
Yes you can pay for your accommodation.

Yes, it is Tier 4 visa. Was it priority service you did?

Riley1991:





Please I want to know if it a teir 4 visa, if it is i submitted same time as you and havent gotten any reply

Visa application submitted August 10.
Biometric done August 19.
Passport returned to VAC Abuja August 28.
Passport sent to me in Uyo by DHL same August 28.
I went to collect the passport on Friday, August 30th to the glory of God.
I used Priority Service.

I was denied a Shengen visa last May and I stated it in my Tier 4 application.
This is just to encourage you guys to not be deterred by any previous visa. Just state it.

Dear experts in the house, can I touch my money now to make some payments for accommodation in the UK, etc?

Dear people, I printed my bank statement on the 9th and submitted my application online the following day, 10th of August. I uploaded my documents (bank statements, educational qualification, etc) in the online application same day. I was given today for biometric and interview which I have done (was very easy ). The question is, does it matter that my bank statement was submitted long before my interview and data capturing (10 days apart)? When is the actual date of submission for me? Is it today after I did the interview or 10th, the day I submitted online? Any idea from someone who knows, please. Thanks and God bless!

Ok, Sir. Thanks a lot. I will be doing a Priority Service. I was just concerned it might amount to a waste of resources.

No it will not as long as you declare.

Not at all. No fraudulent documents were submitted.

UPDATED:
Justwise, funny enough I have just bothered to check the refusal letter after that your question . What I saw is “Justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not provided”. Do you think this might count against me with the Tier 4 application?

justwise:


Was the document fraudulent?

Oga Justwise, Dear all, three months ago I was denied Schengen visa to Spain. I had applied to attend a conference. I think the issue was with my documentation. Do you think this will affect my chance of getting a Tier 4 visa to the UK? I plan to use Priority Service. I’m just worried after I saw where it was stated somewhere that prior denial of a visa to some countries can cause delay on UK visa application decision. I’m applying next week. I really would appreciate any useful insight. Thanks

Phayie:


If both account is in your name and you've done the conversion correctly. I don't think you should have any problem

Thanks a lot. I’m just concerned that they may not have the patience to check the details.

Help a brother, please.

I’m submitting two bank statements for my Tier 4 visa and while one is a Naira account, the other is a dollar account. The balances in both accounts are equal to the total money I need for maintenance and for the balance of my fee. That is, the total in dollars can cover the full tuition and the balance in Naira can take care if maintenance.

Do you guys think this may lead to the a turn down of my application? Kindly help with any useful information/insight as I will have to apply in a few days. Thanks a lot.

Please who has any idea what the UK High Commission in Nigeria accepts as the exchange rate for Pounds Sterling for student visa. I want to know how much exactly I can manage to have in Naira so I can apply. Thank you for your kind assistance

Beautiful! Alagbon police, right? Please how much was it?

chibertha:
You don't need to know or talk to anybody there, just get there "na them go dey rush you" just like immigration/passport things
I did that for my previous application, I took 8.30am flight from PHC, finished and by 5 pm I was in my house in PHC.

Do you know anybody there I can talk with before arriving in Lagos. I want to come in get it same day and possibly go back same day. Thanks a lot. You can private message me. Thanks a lot!

Anamekele:

You can get it same day.
I got mine same day at Lagos.

Please how long did it take to get a police clearance certificate? I’m ready to apply and that’s all that is remaining. My school is resuming in July.

My school is resuming in September.

Kez911:


Wen is your school resuming

Dear people, do you think it is too late in the year to apply? I have only just successfully gathered all my documents

Congratulations!

Wiz1360:
Congratulations � to me guys, I got my VISA today, Super Priority

Come on, Bro. I need genuine answers please. Thank you! I’m just apprehensive at this point

davide470:
Let's just say as soon as you collect your passport and see your visa, you can enter a bar and empty your account.

Help a brother. I’m self sponsored. How much must I have in my account to stand a chance of getting a visa? Simon Fraser University is my target. Thanks

Can anyone please help, please? My brother intends to fix some money in my account to enable the visa application. Can this money be dislodged after the visa has been granted? Will that attract any penalties? Thanks a lot
