Grateful to the almighty God who knows the end of a thing before it even begins. The all-knowing and all-sufficient God!

Family of 5.
CAS Issued: 6th of August 2021
Visa Application: 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th of August 2021 (Applied till about 3 am in the morning)
Biometrics: 9th of August 2021 (Walk-in at TLS Ikeja). Got there with my Family by 4 am and left by about 11:30 am.
Main Applicant: Priority
Dependants: Standard.
Main Applicants Passport Collection email 2:23 pm 17th of August 2021, Passport collected 17th of August 2:50 pm.
Dependants Collection email 3:56 pm 1st of September 2021, Passport collected 10 am 2nd of September 2021pm.

Many of those who applied as a family with the main applicant as priority and dependants as standard all got their passports on the same date as the main applicant. However, this was not our case and it was a very long 17 working days. Made several phone calls to UKVI and One Paid email during this period. I suspect the TLS guy in Ikeja didn't do something right as during the biometric he mentioned something about linking our application together. O Well, that's all in the past now.

Also noticed that the main applicant's decision was in Pretoria while the dependants were done in Abu Dhabi.

No Non-Straight Forward email.
No Interview.

Advice
A small tip for those who will be making calls to UKVI based on my own experience. Use Skype for this and load about $10. Calls from Skype to UK numbers is about $0.075. While I noted that using this process, my Debit Card was never charged for any call.

Except your middle name is patience, please do PRIORITY!!!.

We thank God for helping us through this journey and thanks to all the positive contributors on this platform. For those awaiting a decision, your expectation will not be cut short in Jesus Name. Amen!


Pls DoubleN, help I need the phone number and email address of UKVI .kindly put me through.
Thank you.

Hi Guys! I need help regarding my visa application. I already submitted and my application was refused on the ground that they are aren’t sure I will actually study when I get to the UK.

I was interviewed twice… first interview was not scheduled while the second one was. The questions they asked were 90% similar. And TBH guys, the first interview wasn’t good enough but I quickly prepared myself for the second interview but unfortunately they didn’t use that to assess me.

Now the issue is I am being asked to request for administrative review which is kinda new to me… I would appreciate assistance on

1. How to make a valid argument in my review
2. Or should I just forget it and focus on a new application
3. What are the implications if I don’t review the decision
4. And may I ask what is the success rate of administrative review…
5. Can I still apply at Teesside or a different school would be better for January admission

I have more questions but let me stop here first…

I need help o…
Thanks Guys!

hello bro, during my application, I picked yes for that answer, I thought it was referring to my school application and in my cas, they wrote English qualification of B2.
What do you think I can do?

Ekwysany:


Congratulations!
My biometric was on the 13th August standard, at Abuja TLS and it is still at DCM. Any 13th here who has received?

Kenny4smart:


It's a pity but hope isn't lost. However,can you think of any possible reason why they are doubtful of your claim of actually going for study? or can you think of any misleading information in your application?

By the way, how many years course??

Thanks Man… The first interview was actually wack… Although they already had their reason before requesting for an interview… Based on the refusal letter, they highlighted some of my errors in the first interview. My mistake was I should have refused to have the first interview cos there was no notification whatsoever.

But why my application was flagged in the first place, TBH, I don’t know…


Thanks Bruh

Please which school can I apply for January admission with low tuition fee for my cousin.

She is currently applying to ARU college.

She wants a postgraduate/msc in IT or data science relate program.

We prefer a 18 months or 2 years course because of her grade and the cost.

please note that:

She has a 3rd class B. Eng

She is using NECO for her o level.

Your suggestions are highly appreciated.

I really need to leave this January thanks.

Experience4u:
Try Teesside University
