So here's the reply to my email from UKVI.

...

Hi Everyone,
Will a mistake such as filling the wrong passport issuing authority on a visa application ( E.g Abeokuta instead of Festac Lagos) be very expensive ?

Hello House Please am not seeing UK on the destination List to apply for the TB Test. Thanks

Your situation isn't peculiar. Similar situation with yours biometric (Ikeja) -May 22nd; NSF Mail -June 28th, replied same day; Paid call( I was told they've escalated it). Well, as at yesterday, it was still at the DMC. Note that a lot of people don't use nairaland, we could have heard more of such complaints too. By the way, I have noted that such delays are common with the Ikeja centre. It's tiring to be candid but the waiting continues.
Anyone who can afford it and is using the Ikeja centre should simply go for priority or super priority to avoid this stress.

Actually, I don't think this issue is peculiar to those who used ikeja because remember TLS is the visa application center (VAC) and the branches are where biometrics are done. So far it has been transferred and received by DMC, TLS have no blame in delay.

Also most staffs are Nigerians, they only provide administrative support to send your application to DMC, while the decision making center (DMC) are more like the UKVI.

TLS job is just to upload documents, receive your biometrics and facial recognition, collect your passport, send to UKVI and return it to you when UKVI have made a decision. So any delay can simply be tracked on your dashboard for each applicant.

So far from my observations from individuals post, the issue is mostly peculiar to those with dependants, NSF mail requiring extra documents especially study gaps and interviews and those who their bank take long or have not replied to UKVI for verification.

Hi Gurus,

Please which universities in England accept HND for masters?

I thought university of Salford does but they just said you must have a substantial work experience.

Please, anyone with the idea of universities that accept HND for masters?

Good day house , pls I need urgent reply . j started my pof on 22 of june, 2023 . what is correct date to print my statement of account ?

Good day all,

I hope we are all fine.

I have a question that needs clarification. Is it compulsory that transactions must be carried out on the account that will be used for visa application?

I started my POF 10 days ago and I haven't done any transactions on it. Is there any implications for that?

Thanks for you response.

No implication. I will advise you transact on the account. It the current balance came in through large sum please don’t print that day the money came in, start from the next day. I will still advise you transact on the account while maintaining the required balance. If you don’t want debit, you can credit it with little amount (2k,3k)from family and friends with the 28 days.

My people. Any opinion on this please ?

.

Thank you so much for this. I started transacting on the account 10 days after I heard the info. But someone said to me that i have to print my statement from the date I started transactions. Like I'm so worried that 10 days will have to go just like that and that's why I asked the question here for clarification. Right now, I will transact on it continually, but wanted to be sure if I can include the 10 days period that I didn't carry out transactions when printing my bank statement.

Don't worry. It's insignificant

Check your spam/junk for mail from ukvi. If there is none keep hope alive. Standard visa is usually 15 working days to get a decision. You can do a paid call after 15 working days.

Nwachi22:
Good day @Duchess @Everyone

When I was filling my VISA application form this evening, I observed that there is a section where we are required to declare our travel history.

The only travel history I have in my old passport was a trip I made to South Korea in 2019 on an official assignment.

I don’t know if it’s okay not to declare it because the passport expired in Q1 2022.
Secondly, will I be required to submit my old passport, alongside the recent one when applying for VISA?

Minnieny:
Good day all,

I hope we are all fine.

I have a question that needs clarification. Is it compulsory that transactions must be carried out on the account that will be used for visa application?

Thanks for you response.

You don't need to do any transaction on your account. Don't let anyone mislead you.

The money in your account is for your tuition fee and maintenance. If you don't need to pay for tuition or your rent, then it is okay for the money to be in your account till you need it. It is perfectly okay for you not to do any transaction. All my children schooled in the UK so I speak from experience.

What's their number to call for enquiries?

Thanks once again
