Vavi:
I ended up using MTN to make the call and it connected instantly.

Visa alert.

Whew. This has been gruelling so far.

Started the journey from student visa. At the point I was contemplating which university to pick and pay the deposit, offer letter came with some conditions which included TB test. Apparently, someone didn't clear tb test after COS so I needed to do the test before sponsorship certificate. Did it at ikeja.

Biometrics on 14th September. Abuja TLS. Priority.
Decision on the 16th.
Mail and BRP letter 20th.
Collection mail 23rd
Dhl delivered the passport to me yesterday evening with my vignette.
Waiting for dependents' own which was standard application.

The info here and the student visa thread is worth gold if you can read, jot or screenshot, and research.

Ps. I don't know if it's just me. But suddenly to resign from my job here and just travel suddenly seems hard for me to do.

My brother, you and me both. I have been having a hard time about how to resign. whether I should tell one of my Partners out of courtesy or I should just drop the resignation letter. I am leaning towards just dropping the letter sha because they were playing politics with my confirmation. They even employed someone younger than me and who does not have my qualification and put her above me. Yea, I definitely dropping the letter without telling anyone. Bleep them. lol.

Thank you. I had conducted about three bootcamps but the one that was instrumental was Almond Careers. I advise that you check them out on instagram. They are very good. I got an IT job without certification, who would have thought that was possible. They provide you with the practical experience required to apply for jobs, they also prep your CV for you and will give you reference when you get a job. Trust me, they are amazing. I am indebted to them.

Congratulations.
Pls,concerning Business Analysis, do you self study or you went study at a tech academy?

Please can you give me any advise. I made my visa application since the 21st of June, 2022 and its now been 12 weeks and no response. I have made several paid emails and paid calls. I dont know what else to do. is there any other way I can get their attention. I am very frustrated at this point. Looking forward to your reply.


To answer your question, there is no crime in submitting those documents. In this era of "Non-straightforward" emails and unnecessary delays, you do not want to err on the side of shortage and you can never err on the side of surplus. You want to ensure that all the necessary information is provided, whether required or not. I and every other person I have advised to submit those documents received their visa in less than 15 working days. But just as you have rightly said, IT IS NOT NECESSARY.


And to everyone, please NEVER SUBMIT YOUR OFFER LETTER FOR VISA APPLICATION

flowbjones:
Thank you for applying for a UK visa. Your visa application has been received and is under consideration. We aim to process non settlement applications within 15 working days (unless you have opted for the Priority Visa service), and settlement applications within 120 working days.

Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward and we will be unable to decide your application within our customer service targets. We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make a decision as soon as possible.

We will write to you again if there is any change to this. Please do not attend the Visa Application Centre until you have been advised that your application has been decided and that your passport is ready for collection.

I got this mail today. Note its for my 1 year old son, myself and my wife haven't received any mail yet. What's the implication?

Hi Fishlink, is your CAS showing Used on the School Portal?

Heeyhun:


I haven’t heard back. What visa did you apply for? Healthcare? Mine is IT related

Gbolah21:
Hello house, I wrote here few weeks back about my application which my sponsor made a mistake in the COS. Today I received a refusal mail from home office with option of administrative review. My sponsor has already applied for a new COS, the previous COS was undefined which is only allocated to applicants within Uk. I tracked the application and it’s still with DMC but I’m a bit confused because the date on the refusal is 21-06–2022 and it was stated on the letter that I have 28days from the day I receive the decision to apply for administrative review. Has anyone experienced this and also if I’m able to get a new COS, how long does the process take ?
Help a brother please

Heeyhun:



Congratulations, may I ask what tls you did your bio. I did mine in Ikeja on the 21st and haven’t heard anything
