By your calculation, when does the 15 working days elapse? Your visa may be granted but I don't think youd be granted entry at the border. Your visa fee I doubt will be returned. If you want to use another cas then you most likely need to cancel the current application in which case your ihs will be refunded so long as a decision hasnt been made

Congratulations

DuBooVay:
IHs is refunded when you cancel or get a refusal. If you dont show up before the 24th your sch may likely defer you to the next intake. Then youd need to make another application with the updated cas they give you. Pls send a paid mail to know if a decision has been made

DuBooVay:
I am optimistic you'd meet the deadline shaaaa. Rooting for you

Affam:

Thank you.. I have sent another paid mail yesterday but no response have been given yet.
If my admission is eventually deferred and I am making another application, will it involved doing a fresh biometrics, pof, TB test and all that follows?

Please anyone with admission details of Ulster university Birmingham. I am thinking of applying for may intake. I want to know how long their admission process takes.

I had to go back and check your posts. Seems your biometrics was 20th,going by that your visa may be ready. Did you recently send a paid mail? Maybe you should. My advise is to pack your luggage on standby in faith, ticket money ready to go for when visa drops this week hopefully

Affam:

Thank you, u are truly Gods sent. I won't want to put all my eggs in one basket, I am thinking of ways forward.
Let's say a decision has been made and the school insists on that deadline, what becomes my fate? Can I get a total IHS refund?

This is a story from a group chat narrated by a member of the group about her experience at Manchester Airport

Got to Manchester airport on 12th,and at the point of entry it was fireeeeee with questions from the IO....
Immigration officer:Good Morning
Me:Good Morning
Immigration officer:welcome to Manchester
Me:Thank you
Immigration officer:What are you here for??
Me:To study
Immigration officer:What school??
Me:University of Salford
Immigration officer :Do you have your balance with you??
Me:Yes I do
Immigration officer :Can I take a look at it
Me:I gave her my Bank statement I printed out before leaving Nigeria,mind I didn’t make transactions on the account the whole of December I only made transactions on the account in Nov which I think affected the whole situation and made her question me more,so I’d advice everyone to keep making transactions on his/her till you travel or when you still have your pof in your account..
Immigration officer:Are you sure you still have money in this account
Me:Yes I do....whereas you all know how we run the pof paro
Immigration officer:You only printed for Nov,I need to see for Dec and Jan
Me:in my head I said aha my fathers family finally followed me again ��I started shaking, I sha told her to check the date written on the print out which was 1st of Nov to 28th of dec.
Immigration officer ;said again I’m only seeing for Nov
Me:I just told myself I have to face this,I got more confident in myself and told her I didn’t make transactions in my account the whole of dec but the statement she has with her is from Nov to dec.
Immigration officer:Can you show me on your Bank App
Me:Told her I didn’t register for it
Immigration officer:Can I see your Atm card
Me:I told her I didn’t also register for it that the only proof I have is the bank statement with her
Immigration officer :How do you intend to balance your fee since you can’t access your account??
Me:Told her my mom is also a signatory to my account
Immigration officer :Where will you be staying here in Manchester
Me:With a friend
Immigration officer :How much do you have on you
Me:told her 200pounds
Immigration officer:How would you live on 200pounds since you can’t access your Account
Me:Told her my mom can always send money to me using my friends account
Immigration officer:Asked about my friend,if she working or school,her course etc I can’t remember some
Me:I lied at some points tho
Immigration officer:ask about my course told her
Immigration officer :Asked about the course modules told her
Immigration officer:how much is left to be paid told her
Immigration officer:which of the modules are you doing first told her (thank God I learnt about my modules very well before traveling)
Immigration officer:Will you be writing exams or dissertation??
Me:dissertation
Immigration officer:how many words
Me:I started thinking again that what kind of question is this one again,I just said any rubbish that came out of my mouth broke her 3000words��and smiled at her....na rubbish I talk for here o �����
Immigration officer:when is your first exam
Me:and I’m like wait they sent this woman to me cause wtf are these questions
(I told her ma honestly I can’t answer that cause I haven’t checked my timetable)
Immigration officer:did you send a message to the school telling them you got your visa and you would be coming to Salford
Me:Yes
Immigration officer:can I see the content
Me:I sent via my email
Immigration officer:can I see it
Me:opened my phone,scroll to my email and showed her
Immigration officer:went to check some of my other messages on the mail
Me:was just praying she doesn’t scroll to my bank app cause my own don finish na straight back to Nigeria,while she was checking a call came in she gave me the phone,I declined it and she collected it back,the call came in again she went to put my phone on flight mode and I was like wth,who sent this woman to me??my village people ?
Immigration officer:Take back your phone
Me:Thank you
Immigration officer:collected my file from me
Me:and I was ����

Immigration officer:went through all my documents in the file and saw where I worked with pandora and she asked are you sure you worked with pandora or it’s fake??
Me:I boldly told her yes I worked with them as so so so and so
Immigration officer:wow that’s nice
Immigration officer:saw the deposit payment I made and asked is this the deposit you paid
Me:yes
Immigration officer:how much was the discount given??
Me :3500
She was busy checking all my files and I was just praying to God at this point
Immigration officer:where is your laptop??
Me:Brought it out
And she checked and checked cause I spent more than 30mins with her.....trust me it was like 2hours I got exhausted at some points
She asked questions that I can’t even remember but these are just few of the ones I could remember....so guys be prepared for anything let your yes be yes and let your no be no,don’t contradict yourself when answering them o.....
Immigration officer:She finally stamped me and welcomed me again
Me:but me in my mind after killing me with questions I sha told her thank you and left.

This is my own personal experience and it’s fucking real... @Esther
Is a witness cause she was scared on my behalf and wondered what could have gone wrong.

User10011:
Have you contacted them to inform them of your situation? You may tell them that your visa is still being processed thus, you’ll be unable to touch the funds yet till you get your visa from ukvi

efosakelly:

Why are you confused? , send them the document that was requested to avoid further delay,
you applied on the 29 Dec. you should count 15 working days minus weekend and holidays and see if it match with their calculations.
if you had received NSF mail, just have it in mind your application is most likely to stay longer than 15 working days, whereas the outcome and speed depends on how fast you provide the additional documents or if they are trying to verify other documents that also depend on how fast the institution respond.

Thank you very much. I will send the documents today
