@mimilyrics

Pls help me out because am really getting frustrated.
I submitted my application and did me biometric on the 6th of September and I paid for priority, tomorrow will make it 22nd working days and yet decision has not been made on my application.
I have call ukvi severally and also sent an email them. On the 2nd of October they told me that they have escalated my application and that I will hear from them within 15 working days, but my problem is that I don't have that 15 working days to wait as my latest date of enrolment is 15th of October.
I can really tell what the problem is.

@kaad,I also submitted in Abuja. Which date did you submit? I don't think it will affect your application. prayer is all we need [quote author=]

@Apamix,which date did you go for biometric?[quote author]

@ Orly,you should go to the Tls office on Monday morning and pick your passport.[quote author=[/quote]

@ Orly which date did you call the Ukvi?[quote author

@ walefale check your emailquote author=walefale post=71385853]@Justin86: nah! I don't think so. I completely disagree. Your visa refusal in the US embassy has nothing to do with your ongoing Tier 4 visa application if it's not stated in your Tier 4 application. That would only affect your application if and only if the refusal is from a sister country to England. For instance: having a Canadian visa refusal could affect one's US visa application or vice versa, having a Scottish or any of the European's countries visa refusal could also affect one's UK visa application. NOT US visa refusal to UK visa application unless you stated it in tier 4 application. As for me, I wasn't refused. I was only advised on what to do at the US embassy on my Immigrant Visa situation.
Someone told me the prime reason for this delay is because this is a peak period for them at TLS and UKVI. A large number of applications are been submitted these days especially Tier 4 application. A lot of students are trying to go to the UK this September and October to study. I even heard over 70 applicants were at the gate of TLSconnect last week Thursday and Friday for biometric/interview. Unlike when I went for my appointment on the 10th of September, we were less than 12 applicants. A close buddy of mine that even chose the Super-Priority option on Tuesday, 18th of September, she's yet to hear from them till now. And you know Super-Priority option is meant to be 24-48hrs but today makes it the 3rd day. She's hoping to hear from them today.
Well, let's hope for the best today or Monday. I have a strong belief that we should hear from them soon. [/quote]

@walefale.I think that is the cause of the delay. I was also refused u.s visa before. I heard that when you've had sich issue they will see it as not been straightforward and might take more time to ve processed. We will have to wait maybe till 15days. quote author=walefale post=71382604]No @justin86! I've never been refused Visa in the UK Embassy. This is my 1st time applying for a UK visa. But I was turned down at the US embassy last year August when I applied for a UN youth program. I wasn't given the visa because I once had an American Immigrant Visa some years ago (i.e a greencard), I lived in the US and had my elementary education in the US and returned back to Nigeria because of some reasons. So the US consular told me at the embassy that I'm ineligible for this class of visa (i.e non-immigrant Visa) that I applied for. He said I should go and look for a way to renew my greencard or re-file again. And that is not a REFUSAL. AND I'm pretty sure that can not have any effect on this my current Tier 4 visa application.
And did you consider the priority option to fast track your application processing? [/quote]

I have the same problem @walefale,I submitted on the 6th of this month and today is the 10days. Have you had any visa refusal before?[quote author]
Call them, its possible a decision has been made but not updated on tls

I have the same problem dear,I have been waiting since 6th today is the 10days of waiting and mine was priority. [quote author[/b]
