It means decision was taken 30th November, just that she didn't receive the Visa on time. I guess it's a new trend now by either VO's in Sheffield or TLS to dispatch and send decision mails weeks after decision has been taken on one's application.

All the same, a big CONGRATS.

Check KLM's website. As at this morning, I saw USD869.00 for 25th Dec. you can set return say 12th March. Also check Lufthansa.

Good morning house. Please I need advice on this:

In 2008, my youngest sis was issued a passport in Benin City, Nigeria as she intend applying for a study in the UK. Then the passport was misplaced/stolen and she had to go do another passport of which she was told to go to the HQs in Abuja. She went and a new passport was issued at the HQs Abuja with the issuing officer telling her not to worry about the old passport. She then applied for a UK study visa in 2009 with the new passport and was issued a 4 years study visa. She completed her studies in 2013 and returned home for her NYSC. This year, 2016 she applied for her MSC in Scotland and was offered admission. School fees paid, account statement sent to the school and she's waiting for her CAS to be provided by the school. Her studies begins Jan 19, 2017.
Now the worrying part: One week after her CAS preview letter was sent to her to confirm all details was correct and she did confirmed, hoping to receive her CAS this week, she receive a mail from the school telling her that she had a visitor refusal visa on her old passport (the misplaced/stolen) and she should contact UKVI to provide more details on the refusal as the details the UKVI provided to them (school) is insufficient. Going through UKVI site I noticed that you have to send a form to their office in the UK and emails are not allowed, thus taking more time to send and also days in replying. Note: she has barely one month before her studies and this is happening.
Please I need help on what she should do next.

Ps: she had sent a mail informing the school about the old passport and how she had canceled it at the HQs before applying for a visa which was granted.

HELP PLEASE

Did she make any police report in 2008, when the passport was stolen? If yes, I think you should start from the HQ in Abj, get them to give you a clearance that the passport was actually stolen and cancelled without prejudice. Then contact UKVI with the police report and clearance letter from immigration HQ.

That's my opinion..... anyone else can share his/her thoughts.

The question here is: Did your sister apply for visiting visa with the old passport and was refused? If yes, what was the reason(s) for the refusal

Dongreat:


She didn't apply for it and certainly have no idea about the reasons for the refusal. If she had then she still will be using the old passport and not bothered going to the HQs then for a new one. The school told her that UKVI told them about all her immigration details but not why the visitor visa on the old passport was not granted ie no details about the old passport from UKVI was provided.

Bourne007:
It's really strange they are questioning her visiting visa. Usually they check for academic progression and/or if you are currently living in UK and what the current visa status is. Except she's been banned by ukvi but again you said she didn't apply for a visiting visa.

Since you said the passport was missing/stolen, I suspect someone else must have used it to apply for a UK visa (people can do anything these days) and got denied. Probably this must have happened before she went for a new one or again it's also very possible that it was not properly cancelled before the office in Abj. issued a new one. (I have a friend who is currently in Germany, at the point of renewing his Nigerian passport in Germany, it was then he found out that records of his old passport he thought was cancelled without prejudice back in Nigeria was still in the system).

That's why I asked initially if there was a police report to back up the theft claim. But I think you should go to the passport office also to seek more clarification.

Thanks for your response.

You are not entitled to super priority service if you are applying for tier 4, but you can use the priority service which takes between 5-7days. Priority service costs just £150.

Then that is what she needs to explain to the school. If somebody else did with the stolen passport then fingerprint evidence you clear your sister's name. The UK embassy introduced fingerprint in 2008 but i'm not sure of the month. If that was before the fingerprint then they will have the picture and other documents of whoever made the application then

chinaylo:
hello, i have just concluded a Msc in Uk and wish to pursue another masters as soon as possible. Can i extend my visa here in the UK without going to Nigeria?, is it is feasible to get a january/February entry admission? Cc Justwise.

justwise:


1.Well yes you can apply to continue your study here as long as the application is made before your current visa expires.

2. Is the new course you want to study related to the one you just finished?

chinaylo:
Thanks. The course i just completed is business related, same as the new course. My visa would expire in February. is this period too short to apply for a renewal?

teejay21111:
Please what can I do? I just discovered that I didn't submit the evidence of the IHS payment and don't write the IHS reference number on my visa application print out. My application is currently under consideration in sheiffield. I don't know how they would be able to get my IHS reference number. Please advice on what to do
