xkobans: So i just used the Teleperformance online tracking website and I see the status changed from transferred to ukvi for a decision to this,
"Your application was recieved by UK Visas & Immigration for a decision on 20/08/2014"
I don't understand what they expect me to do with this information, like seriously, I already know a decision has been made and your just updating that it was received!? Are these guys this insensitive and mismanaged? It's pitiable. Just a tiny bit more patience Stag It's almost done, at least you already know a decision has been made. Don't let the irredeemable incompetence of teleperformance affect your joy even in the slightest way. |

I guess so. but the surprising thing is that Victoria Island Centre is the only office on Teleperformance website. Nothing about the Abuja office as at the time this morning. I just hope VFS release other appointment date for the month. I can't afford to enter a deadlock situation with teleperformance. *Prayer time* Seriously? They don't even have the Abuja office up on their website na wa for teleperformance. Let's be hopeful for more dates at VFS for next week till even end of month like Ikeja office. Prayer is key. |

perfect08: I hail all my oga in the house. Anybody know why there is no appointment date in VFS Abuja from next monday? Based on the rumor that VFS might soon stop handling visa applications to the UK I personally think UKBA is trying to hand over visa processing to teleperformance fully that's why a new Abuja office for teleperformance just opened.
Personal opinion tho nothing official. |

Yeah, quite true as i just checked the guidance document. But at all times, they would ask for your CAS while submitting the docs. Even the schools ask for your CAS document when registering. It won't hurt you to submit it.
For the fees declaration, you can add your school fees receipt and/or a note in the additional section Thanks bro I did as you said just to be safe even tho dey didn't ask for it when I was submitting. Better safe than sorry ![cheesy](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/cheesy.png) |

You need to include the CAS. It is a requirement for tier-4 visa application. Bro actually eh I decided to stick with the instruction from my school because the Full CAS statement was issued when I had only made a £2k deposit, so it shows only £2k tuition paid. But now I've paid my full tuition and I got an email confirming it has been updated on my CAS with UKVI from my school CAS team but no fresh CAS statement reflecting the full tuition on paper(see the update email I got below). I don't just want to confuse the ECO with my Full CAS statement showing only £2k meanwhile my CAS on their system shows fully paid."....Please find the updated information below. CAS Number: XXXXXXXXXXXX Course Title: MSc Process Systems Engineering Course Fees for 1st Year (£): 16345 Course Fees Paid (£): 16345 If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Please I have a few final questions. I have all my documents put in a big envelope but I was wondering the exact format of addressing the envelope?
Below is my checklist of supporting documents in envelope;
1. Appointment Confirmation 2. Online Application Print-out 3. Appendix 8 Self-Assessment form (Filled) 4. e-Receipt for Accommodation Payment 5. 29 days Personal Bank Statement 6. Oanda Currency Converter Print-out for Application date 7. Original Degree Transcript 8. Original Degree Statement of Result 9. ATAS Certificate 10. TB Certificate 11. International Passport 12. 2 passport photos according to UKVI spec
Notice I didn't include a copy of my CAS statement as my school specifically advised that I do not submit the CAS statement with my application but should only fill in the correct CAS reference number(see an extract of my CAS statement from my school)
Am I good to go my Bosses?? Cc Justwise spikesC DonOMS
