MrsDaniels:

@thatfiyahgirl have just gotten email from VAC that ukvi has made a decision on my application that in next few days they ll email me to come pick my documents and passport. See what they wrote when i tracked it on their website now does it mean the documents are in their office already?

tinu94:
Thanks Olowo
But I paid for priority

emmalebgus:


Thanks Olowo, I have done that. My only consolation at the moment is that the Health Surcharge has not been refunded. From what I have gathered here, if it is a refusal, there will be an immediate refund. Since the decision was made on the 11th, they should have completed the refund process by now, except if the refusal was an after thought.

Hi, I'm based in Glasgow too, but I'm not a student.

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 60 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.

Kind Regards,

Sheffield Visa Section

emmalebgus:
Well, I just called the UKVI office now. They said that a decision has been made since on Sunday the 11th of September. I wonder why TSL didn't send me an email or update the the Track. It is still showing that decision hasn't been made yet.
[/b]Shall be there first thing tomorrow.[b]

Very good decision.

fizzile:
And the first round of waiting has been concluded. Had my interview today by 11:30am appointment time. Will give a concrete transcript of how it went.

emmalebgus:

Unfortunately yes. However, like I stated, registration finishes on the 23rd and I paid for priority, so I thought I still have time.

carissaa:
Hi guys,
How will a person know if the visa was denied?
Is it when they go to pick up their documents?

Also, I went to VI VAC today and they said they are expecting some documents to arrive tonight or tomorrow morning. Can I go and check again tomorrow afternoon?

I dont want to postpone my flight for Wednesday morning.

Thatfiyahgirl:
Please help guys. I paid for ihs using StanbicIBTC.i tried to pay for the visa using Gtb but it declined saying it's more than my limit. I tf the money back to my StanbicIBTC to use it to pay for the visa. Declined again that I've passed my limit. Please what bank can I easily use to pay this 521 dollars visa fee?

Whatamidoinghere:

Inexplicable:
Hello everyone,

Please I want to know if anyone who used standard service in the last three weeks (precisely from Aug 23rd '16) has received a decision mail from Sheffield. Although UKVI Int'l enquiry dept. informed me after contacting them that a decision has been made on my application, I am yet to receive any decision mail from Sheffield.
Abeg wetin man go do o?
@ MrsDaniels: Please has your friend received a decision mail from Sheffield?

MrsDaniels:

chilez:

Prinz15:
All thanks to God, got my visa today. Wish others still expecting their visa a positive outcome

chuksbenin:
Sir Justwise, olowoB, Zaty and co, hope I am good with a one way ticket considering this 30 day vignette thing. Although the approval letter states the real duration.

TobyAn:
Hi guys... got collection mail this morning... went and my pasport was there... Opened it before even leaving the VAC and got my visa ... Hello BCU ... Thanks to everyone for your contributions and help.. Will fly by Monday

Timm:
I got my Visa today. I am thankful to you all, God and your suggestions have made it possible.
Is anyone going to University of Hertfordshire? Thats my destination, if there is anyone going that way I will be glad to know. We can arrange accommodation together. I am a guy, though. I know my way around London but not Hertfordshire.
I will be looking forward to hear from you guys.

Thyme2fly:
Cc Justwise and other gurus in d house

A friend wanted to apply for student visa and he overworked in his previous student visa. He had stayed outside UK for more than a year. He is afraid of being refused on general grounds. Should he state in his application that he breached his previous immigration rule bearing in mind that he has been outside UK for more than a year.

Pls your urgent response is highly needed. Thanks in advance

viraltv:


Brother thank you for this Info, God Bless!

I have paid My Pre-payment of tuition fees Using My dad's dollar dorm Account and I will be issued my CAS Shortly

My Question is : For the 28 day Count I am Using My dad's Naira Account which is different from the dorm Account used to Pay the Pre-payment of tuition fees.

AM I good to go?

MrsDaniels:

Justwise see the email my school sent saying pounds on right and naira on left. Why is the international office giving misleading info now to their student. This so annoying!

fizzile:
But wait oooo, if u put 1 pound on the left and it gives you 445naira on the right and then u reverse it and put 445naira on the left and it gives you 1pound on the right, what's the difference?

chuksbenin:
Hahahahahaha! Lotto? I just checked now. The rate will come down tomorrow. It's already 431 minimum and 452 maximum. If it remains like this till 22:00 when Oanda closes for the next trading day, it will come down tomorrow. My best pick is do ur applications on Wednesday or Thursday. Just check the rate tomorrow morning and compare with today. I can bet anything that the rate will come down below 450 tomorrow. I'll prove that this is not lotto. It worked for me.

Don't mind me, you may actually be right but to convince me more, can you come online here exactly past 10pm and say for sure the exact rates it will be tomorrow on Oanda and then i will believe you totally .

The rates usually drop on tuesdays, wednesdays and thursdays except last week that the rates dropped on Monday.

MrsDaniels:
Justwise nd olowob can someone pay for once accomodation from the maintance fee if staying outside london or one must leave the money intact in the acc too?

bal2012002:
Confused here, please help me.

I started my count on the 18th of July, filled my application online and paid the visa fee and IHS on Friday 12th August (25days) and then submitted at the visa application center in Lagos on Wednesday 17th August(30days).

I hope I am fine.

Just to confirm, is the online application date calculated as the submission date or the day the forms are submitted in person and biometrics taken at the VAC?

Regards,
