VISA ALERT

Application Type: Student Visa PhD

Applied on the 16th of October

Rescheduled Biometric earlier set for 20th October to 21st October (next day)

I did Biometrics on the 21st of October in Abuja (Priority)

Received a Non straight forward mail on the 25th of October

Sent a paid email to UKVI on the 30th of October

Received an email about decision on 2nd November

Collected my visa via courier 5th November

Student visa valid till Jan 1st, 2026

It is instructive to note that I had an immigration problem with regards "overstaying" in the UK ten years ago, which ultimately carries a 10 year ban. I wasn't sure if I was effectively on a ten year ban or not but had to wait for 10 years to apply to enter the UK again. At some point I wasn't sure what to expect of the outcome, thats why this outcome is a super relief for me and a shot at second chance.

I am grateful to everyone here whose inputs I learnt from and believe more testimonies will come out from here.

Off to Glasgow in a couple of weeks.

You will not go for NYSC ni

ojiforeal:
Visa fee $498

IHS - $1007 to $1009 for 1 year course (I paid these 2 amount for 2 different persons on d same day)

Priority - $321

Biometric Appointment is covered once u pay the visa fee above. Good Luck �

EmeeNaka:
yeah, you would have gone ahead and apply. Some schools doesn't advertise their discounts. But it's fine. Which school gave you offer?

Rollitout:


Many applicants are unaware that when institutions request for POF it doesn't have to be POF generated in the last 28days, they just want to confirm if you've the required funds in your bank account before they can proceed to issue CAS, they will tell you to send financial document which you are going to send to the UKVI for visa.
So the POF in this case should be in the last few days even two days is enough.

Emmyk:
Happy weekend house.

I want to know if it's a good arrangement if my sibling who lives in the UK can make the initial deposit on my behalf?

My program is self funded but I believe the school will acknowledge if she pays there a lot faster than me doing it here in Nigeria.

Kindly advice.

Mine took 2weeks. But I think they’ve closed for January intake now

ibk5891:
This is not correct sir. Coventry specifically ask for PoF that has been in f account for 28 days

Aikayval:
Hello all, please I paid for my application yesterday(standard ) and my biometrics is on Tuesday the 9th. Is it possible to change this to priority ? If yes, please how do I go about it ? Thanks!

bali233:


Tuesday is so close

Ugool:
Yes it's possible. Your sibling should quote your school ID or any unique number given to you by your school.

Aikayval:


So does that mean it’s not possible?

justwise:


Don't risk a visa refusal and possibly a ban. Make sure that your remaining school fees, your maintenance money and that of your husband is in that account. They may likely ask you to resubmit the original bank statement used for your own visa application.

This is simple..that money should not be recycled

Oluwatosinliz:
i want to know if police report is necessary before travelling to UK

Tket:
One number called me today, wanting to know what the problem was..said from british high commission or so. . But I already got the Visa day before. You can mail, let me share the number with you.

ocpaschal:
But why would the word "migrant" be used, when one is an international student/graduate ?

Smyle81:
Congratulations bro....can i sent u a mail or can we chat on whatsapp...wanna get some info on ur application regarding the overstaying in UK?

Aikayval:

I used them , took them 3days to debit me at the rate of 573.
Surprisingly, the transaction charges was just 2500 naira.

Gann:
