JideVince:
I'm applying tomorrow at Ikeja. Do you have your new CAS ready?

Not yet, I just got in touch with the school. They said they will get back to me by the end of the day

Anyone applying at ikeja soon? I'd like to know the available dates

abnot:

Sorry to hear about your refusal @jennyfar/ Your best bet is to re-apply because a review might not be fruitful. If you applied on september 4th, you needed to have had at least N3,007,710.00 in your account. This amount is based on oanda's currency conversion rate for september 4th 2013. Hope you understand my point?

I just did, thank you. Do I have to reapply with a new account statement if I pay the rest of the fees?

They stated in the refusal letter that they had used an exchange rate of 249.95, there is no way it will be over 3,000,001.48, my fee is 13,200. I paid 8700 leaving 4500 to be showed. 4500 + 7200 is 11,700. I was sure I did this calculation with several conversion rates before applying. The day I printed the oanda rate it was even at 251.57 so 3,000,001.48 at 251.57 is still 11925.11. They used 249.95 as exchange rate for 4th sept which is the day I did my interview which is 12002.40, so how did my funds fall below the 11,700?

Guys, which address am I to send the review notice to? And email address if possible, I need to submit it by tomorrow

@thekid123, I sent you a pm, Pls respond

Guys it was a refus, they said I didn't have the required level of funds, that I had 3,000,001.48 which amounts to 11,670 at an exchange rate of 249.95, and dat I ought to have 11,700. 3,000,001.48 at an exchange rate of 249.95 is 12002.40, even if they had used 251 which I used, the money was still more than enough. There is room for review tho, maybe the blockhead that calculated it will realise his/her mistake cause I don't see myself paying over 80k again for this.

Pls, do i have to go to the embassy to submit the review notice? Is there any thing to be submitted with the notice

Thank you for the encouragement

JideVince:
It should mean UPS would deliver it to your correspondence address. Congrats in advance!

I'm a bit nervous cause I've been seeing other people's status as processed passport is on transit to... I applied on the 4th at Lekki so I'm also a bit shocked at the response time. I pray for good news

Guys, my status just changed to processed application delivered to ups, I paid for courier. What does this mean pls?

Hey guys, good afternoon. Pls, when do you start counting the number of days, is it from the day of the visa appointment or from the next day?

jennyfar:
@moufpeas, can you help with this?

Sorry guys, false alarm, I finally got through, some white dude was talking about football, smh

jennyfar: Hey guys, I got a call from an 01 *** **** number, nine digits, does the visa office call with such number?

@moufpeas, can you help with this?

JideVince:
You didn't pick the call?

I wasn't with my phone when the call came in, I've tried calling back, I can't hear anything at the other end

Hey guys, I got a call from an 01 *** **** number, nine digits, does the visa office call with such number?

Hey guys, just had my interview at Lekki, it went well. Hope to get good news really soon. Thanks for all the help. Please how does the tracking thing work

Hey guys, do I need to make copies of the forms and documents I'm submitting?

JideVince:
If you have filled and printed the online form, you are okay.

Thank you

Happy Sunday guys, pls which one is the personal details form, the last of appendix 8 says ensure you complete the personal details form on paper or online. Is it the vaf9 form? Cause I completed just two forms

justwise: Contact your school to know if your CAS has been updated after the payment, if they replied and say yes then print-out the email and attach it to your application

Thanks justwise, will do that by Monday

Good morning guys, thanks for all ur contributions yday. I completed the application and got an appointment date for Wednesday next week at Lekki.
I'll be submitting the ff docs
Online app print out
Appendix 8
Admission letter
CAS letter(doesn't contain d tuition I paid)
Part payment tuition receipt(it's a print out)
Degree Certificate(only thing mentioned in my CAS)
Bank statement of 3m(covering remaining tuition $ maintenance)
Oanda conversion print out
Passport

Am I good to go?

I'm trying to book an appointment, pls what does std code mean?

JideVince:
1.click on apply for visa in this link (follow instructions) http://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/applynow.aspx
2.Download and Fill the appendix 8.

Thanks a bunch guys, was getting super confused

JideVince:
She has to use the online form, which is the same with the Vaf9 form. Its mandatory student applicants apply using the online form, now. This enables you to book an appointment.

I thought I ought to download the forms and fill

Guys pls which of the forms should I fill, is it the appendix 8 dated Nov 2012 and vaf9 dated April 2013?

Pls who has the full address of the UK VAC at Abuja? I need it ASAP

Is the bank ref letter compulsory? I haven't gotten a date yet, I'm still waiting for my CAS letter which will come latest Friday before I can apply, I hope to apply by this weekend and get a date from next week by Gods grace

[quote author=lamie505]

Thanks a bunch, yday was the 28th day, I already paid in some money, will go and print another one today or tmao. I hope it's ok

lamie505:

It always good for the last transaction to reflect.. UKBA will start counting from the last transaction upwards that why it good to do a transaction the 28th day so when they count up it will fall to the balance before the last transaction

Mine is a new account, no balance before the date the money was put in, it just has the transaction of the transfer from my dads account to the new one opened for visa purpose in my name

[quote author=JideVince]
If you are based in Abj or close, do it there, its faster. Visas are processed only at the BHC Abuja. If you are in Lag, no point travelling to Abj, it is just like 2 extra days---posting to and fro.[/quote

I'm in ph, so it's either Lagos or abuja for me? Pls which do U advice considering my start date is 25th sept and I've not done the online app yet cos my CAS is expected on Friday. Hoping to apply by weekend and get a date for next week, do u think its possible?

Guys the last transaction I did didn't reflect on the bank statement, but the money in the account is enough to cover living expenses and the remaining tuition, hope it's still ok. It took me a long time to get the statement yday and I wouldn't want to go back to the bank.

Good morning guys, please which of the visa centres is better, Abuja or Lagos? I mean in terms of crowd and response time, or is it only Lagos that the application can be submitted?

also I made part payment of my tuition, i spoke to the admissions officer and she said the amount won't be stated in the CAS, is the receipt of payment sufficient evidence of payment?
