My Nairaland Family,

All glory to God!!

Finally got the golden mail today.

First my story.

. Long story short, cutoff visited 413 in May just to pick us up. We submitted out application on the very last day. Time line below.

ITA- May 31st
AOR-29th August
Meds passed and IP1- Sept 12th
NA2-Sept 13th
File moved to London VO- Oct 25th(got message of how to find a job in Canada)
Sent mail to confirm VO on 12th Nov, got confirmation of London on the 15th
Request to pay RPRF- Dec 5th
PPR- Dec 6th

We used a gift deed and only a small part of my bank statement as the six month printout was too large to upload.

Marriage cert had Civil Engr(my education) my job was in another NOC.

No LOE or anything
No ADR even though wifey has had a couple of visa refusals in the past.

I would like to encourage us that there is absolutely no reason to fear the dreaded London Visa Office as our very imperfect application scaled through in a reasonable time. Package your application to the best of your ability, be truthful, and follow CIC's instructions.

All the best to all hopefuls..

First my story.

We got interested in this journey in Jan 2015 when express entry was introduced, but we didn't take the 1st step till Sept of 2015 when we took our IELTS. Started following this thread around mid 2016. I started my ECA in January 2016. My ECA took 1 year to process all because I wanted to have my Unilag Diploma 1 certificate accessed to meet the then very high cut offs. The program was defunct and there was no trace of any records. Finally, records office generated the result from my statement and sent in December 2016, only for WES to totally ignore it. By this time, scores had started to come down. But I still needed the 25 points that 2 or more certs would have given. ECA came out in March 2017 as BSc only. At this point, we were still contemplating making wifey the primary applicant as she was younger and had a masters and an LLb but only 1 year work. Long story short, cutoff visited 413 in May just to pick us up. We submitted out application on the very last day. Time line below.

@Elle78, are u sure your verification has got to Lag?If Yes,pls how did you know despite the strike?

@Ehimen100 ,how far with your verification?Have u heard from WES?

Abbylee:
I did online transfer.

Read the email properly and carefully, you'll see how to derive your unique account number from your exam month, location and last two digits of your passport number. Be sure to use your reference number and name as the title of the transaction.

Also send the proof of payment to ngielts.payment@britishcouncil.org and examsnigeria@ng.britishcouncil.org along with your reference numberand name within 24hrs of payment.

Elle78:
I am not sure where it is now. I called someone in unilag on Monday and he mentioned that it's usually received at the registrars office and taken to Senate for the verification to be sent but there's no one to check for it and respond as they started the strike that morning.

Ehimen100:


I haven't heard from WES, meaning my verification hasn't been addressed and this is the third week. The NASU strike may be the reason for delay though.

Also I heard (unconfirmed though) that Unilag will only respond via email after they receive the hardcopy mail from wes and this can take up to 3 weeks.

I am actually talking from personal experience so I know so. I got an ITA which I had to reject because my birthday had just passed and my score was not automatically reduced. You have to manually update the date of birth field (like refreshing)before your score is recalculated.
