Just did a paid mail and I was told my case has been escalated to relevant department and I should wait for 15days before contacting the service again.
I don't understand UKVI and their pattern.

Please can I travel without a decision letter.

Yes you can. Your passport has been stamped with your vignette, don't worry about the letter. Las las, screenshot the mail you sent requesting for it and their response.

Hi, everyone. Please does anyone know how long it usually takes between "Application transferred to VAC" and collection mail, for standard application.

oshobabahealth:



it rang for 6 minutes yet I was charged 1200... for a call that they are yet to receive.

imaging paying money for ringing a phoneline

The airtime that your network provider deducts from your phone is different from the actual charges UKVI will still charge you for the paid call.

What network are you using? For me, using 9mobile was far cheaper than glo.

Kalakris:
The wait is excruciating. I never knew that a day will come when Gmail App is the most frequently used app on my phone. I don refresh tire. No collection mail, no BRP mail. Bio August 9th. Abuja TLS

As in, same here

Please which school is this

University of Sussex.

LH44:
Hahha thank you loads.

Got this from the school with regards to registration deadline:

'LATEST DATE OF ENROLMENT

The start-date for our 2022/23 enrolment year is set at 19th September 2022. However, understanding that there may be delays that are beyond our control, the latest date of enrolment has been set for Friday, 14th October 2022. We encourage you to do all you can to meet up with the official start date so that you do not miss the Welcome Weekend or any lecturers. However, if for any reason you have some delays, please notify us immediately and ensure that you are arriving not later than October 15th'.


Hope this helps.

Yep, thanks a lot, that's the info I needed. Did you email them before, or did they send a general mail.

LH44:
Hiya, it just moved to VAC today so hopefully I get a pick up email soon. What about you?

Ah nice, Congrats in advance lol.

Did bio August 9, so I'm hoping for movement between end of this week and next week. Though I've sent paid mail today, waiting for their response. Also emailed the school to confirm when is the latest time they allow for resumption, not sure I can make that September 17 weekend with how these flights are looking

LH44:
Hmmm that's strange cause I can see available flights in September.
I tried pasting a screenshot but not sure how to so I attached it.

Hello. Has your visa been granted yet? I recall you did bio around August 2/3.

Hello everyone. Please does anyone know if you need transit visa using Turkish airline? Like if you're flying them on Lagos-Heathrow with stopover at Istanbul.

bigtt76:
Contact your school although you are not meant to submit the CAS document itself, but on the UKVI system, the date would show up wrongly and at the discretion of the staff reviewing your application to adjudge if its a honest error from the school or not.

Thanks. Reached out to the school and they resolved it.

Hi everyone, please is it a big issue if my uni made a mistake with my DoB on my CAS? Instead of January 15, it says January 5, but year is fine. It's also January 15 that's on my other docs, passport, UKVI application etc.

tobatele:
Good morning House. My school resumes on September 26 and the date I got for biometrics is September 07,2022.
Is it possible for me to still meet up? Or can I still have hope of gate crashing?

September 7-26 is 19 days, sometimes it takes about 3 weeks to get a response. However, you might be lucky and yours doesn't take as long and you get the visa before September 26, but it will still be cutting it close. Some schools give international students a month's grace after resumption, so you should contact your school to confirm how much time you have. If they will allow you resume later, then you should have no problem meeting up.

Another option is to keep checking the TLS website, a closer date might open up and you can amend your appointment. You can also try your luck with walk-in, but be ready to pay and dedicate your entire day to it because they might not attend to you until when they're done with the people for that day.

uchihak:
I have a question. Please how long can u give an estimate on when it takes most schools to update student record after paying initial deposit through Form A

This is depending on the school, how fast their admission team is/the volume of applications they're getting. But usually it can take one day to a few weeks.

For some schools you can pay deposit, have the payment confirmed and get your CAS all within 48 hours.

Ollymama:


Please what of those of us that usually get our salaries in cash because we are working for small organizations.

Do you have staff ID card, or maybe any correspondence you used in the course of working for the company (emails, letters etc) you can use those as evidence

postmosaic:


Did you use flexi? And what location? Thank you.

No, just self-service in VI. Around 15 minutes ago, multiple timeslots opened from 8th-11th, but they're gone now.

Some timeslots on August 9 and 11 are open.

Just booked.

LH44:
Oh great thank God. By the way, I meant 19th to 16th.

Thanks. I noticed in one of your posts, you mentioned you took along appointment letter. Is that the same as the email confirmation you get from TLS?

LH44:
Yes it's crazy. I wonder why. But I know I was able to get a date change from the 29th to the 26th while checking at about 3am or so. People say if you check from 11pm till morning, you may be lucky. lol. I couldn't carry on doing that so I did the walk-in. But you have to choose a date at least to do that. Even though their website says you can do it without an appointment. Better safe with an appointment date. Hope you get something soon.

Thanks jare. Finally got August 29 after struggling. I think the reason why no dates were appearing at all initially was that I chose the "flexi" option in my cart. When I removed that, August 29 and other dates finally showed up.

Now that I've gotten a date, I will try uploading all the relevant documents today and see if I can do walk-in tomorrow or Friday.

Hi everyone, please I'm having an issue on the TLS website.

I have selected and paid for a self-service appointment on August 29.

Now, it took me back to a page where I can track application, amend appointment, upload etc. I clicked on "upload" to start uploading the documents myself, then it redirected me to a log-in page.

I tried using the same log-in details I signed up with on the UKVI website, but it's saying invalid details. Does anyone know what's happening? Thanks.

Na wa o. Been on this TLS website trying to get a date for close to an hour now, there's nothing open at all, not even till November.

It's not even showing "sold out" on the dates, everything is just blank.

dapsey92:
Any other method to pay Visa fee, i have been trying my Uba dollar prepaid card, it keeps declining... any help?

Keep on trying, I think it's a UBA issue. I just finished paying for my Visa fee using UBA $ card too. It declined 3 times before it finally went through on the 4th try.

LH44:
Hahaha hiya. Errrm not sure of any. I haven't also seen anyone mention Sussex.

Same. Was starting to wonder if it was just me going there on here.

Was it because of the 19th resumption date you decided to do walk-in? I want to pay for my IHS+Visa today and try my luck tomorrow or Friday with walk-in.

LH44:
Yes I did a walk-in at their VI location yesterday. Just make sure you have a print out of your checklist, passport data page, appointment letter and they also asked for the proof you have submitted your documents online (So print out that page with the list of documents submitted). They only accepted self-service walk-in. Though I had to wait from 7am till about 2pm after they had finished with everyone who had an appointment (I suggest you go early). I don't know if it is an everyday thing or based on how the crowd is for the day.

Was this for you as a single applicant, or family?

enesty:
Please do I need to open euro account or dollar account to pay ihs and visa fee.

You can open an euro or dollar dom account with card to pay for visa and ihs, if you didn't have one before. You can't pay for it with Form A.

Alternatively, if you know someone you trust who has a dom account with card, you can convert your money at black market rate, deposit it into their account and use their card.

Hello

CV and employment/ reference letter from the company you worked with


Cheers

Thanks a lot. I have my employment letter, and payslips for the last company I worked with.

duchess90:
Hello

For instance if you have a study gap of more than 5years then you need to submit evidence of work or other activities you have been doing since then

Cheers

Hello, thanks for this. I was not aware about this part. So, for those of us who went to uni, then worked before now coming to do masters and the gap is more than 5 years, will our CV/resume suffice? Or what documents are required?

Thanks.

Hi everyone. Please I have a question.

When applying for visa, it is only the required documents stated on your CAS that you're supposed to submit, right? I want to confirm because I'm seeing posts about people submitting NYSC cert, letters of employment from previous companies they worked at, etc. Does UKVI request those documents specifically, or is it because their CAS stated those documents should be submitted?

Thank you.

Hello All,

Please I just need confirmation, you can use your USD dom account card to pay for the IHS+Visa fees, right?

Thank you.

kaykay2022:
Hi My People, Please if my TB test appointment is 1:31pm, what is the earliest time to arrive there?

You can get there 9am and if you're lucky, they'll actually let you enter even if it's not your time, provided it's your day. But you can aim to get there between 12-12:30pm, so you can enter with the 1pm people.

Hi everyone, please has anyone been able to use $ dom account card to pay for IHS & Visa fees lately?
