Hello guys,

My TB test is expiring on the 27th of this month. I intend on doing priority and submit my application tomorrow. Please do I need to take another TB test? Kindly advise.

Please, I will like to confirm if University of Hull accept NECO (Eng) as proof of English Language Proficiency or Its better I get a letter from my Undergraduate Uni stating my first degree was in English?

He has done great things!!!

Biometrics:
Main Applicant - December 16, 2020
Dependent (3) - December 21, 2020
Visa application - Standard.

After 18 working days of biometrics without any update, I sent a mail to UK VI and got a response that my case has been escalated.

On January 21, 2021 (23 working days after biometrics), I got a non-straightforward mail.

Collection/Decision mail - January 29, 2021 (29 working days after biometrics).

Today February 1, 2021 passports collected and all applications approved.

My conclusion and take away from Nairaland.
Standard application is a long waiting game that requires serious patience. Don't box yourself into any timeframe that may give you high BP. If you do everything right and provide the required genuine documents, application will be granted.

The waiting period was really frustrating.

I return all glory to God for His faithfulness over me and my family.

For those still waiting and prospective applicant, God will grant you, your heart desire.

They don’t accept any of the above, only WAEC and IELTS they accept

Interview has largely been suspended for now, although the UKVI still randomly conduct phone interviews

Please house, someone who I met the same day I did my Biometrics just got refused today...after she got a non-straightforward mail and did interview on Friday.

The reason for her refusal was because she didn’t answer the question eloquently during the interview.

What is the best advise for her...I really don’t know how to help her or know what to say, it’s very very sad.

Can she appeal or something...your advises would be appreciated.

Thanks.

There’s nothing much to say here.

You mentioned that she failed the credibility interview.

Let her do enough research before reapplying.

Appealing in this scenario will be a waste of time.

Alternatively, you can ask for her refusal letter and post it here in other to get better advice.

This is her letter

I hope this gets attended to. Good evening everyone
I plan on getting my covid test done on Wednesday so can I travel on Saturday? Thinking about the 72hours timeframe. Thanks

Omo I need accommodation in Glasgow, anyone please mail me

Victorex001:


This is her letter

See? I didn’t even need to see the letter to know what possibly happened.

- when she was asked about facilities that her chosen uni offers, she gave a generic answer. ( all these informations are usually on the university’s page).

- when asked about her future plans and how the course will benefit her, again, she gave another generic answer.

Saying she’ll come back to Nigeria to work with ANY multinational company after her studies truly reiterated what the ECO echoed (no pun intended).

Given the amount of money and commitment required to study in the U.K, the Eco expected her to mention at least 2 or 3 future job titles with a projected future earning.

I felt she could have passed if only she’d done proper research.

ECOs/ Visa officers are trained to treat every applicants as japa candidates, it is your duty to convince them otherwise.

ECOs/ Visa officers are trained to treat every applicants as japa candidates, it is your duty to convince them otherwise.

TBH, if I was the ECO I would have made same decision, her application had too many complications. I only feel bad for her and telling her the hard truth rn would be unfair.

1. She didn’t declare one of her refusals, even the day she got the Non-straightforward mail it took her sometime to open up to me she has been denied by US and Canada. She said Canada didn’t deny her but she didn’t get any decisions from there since 2019 she applied...hmm
That’s why she didn’t declare it.

2. She did a change of name, different names on her passport and application, thou she told me she had an affidavit to back it up.

Two nights to her Application, I called her to boost her up and ginger her....she told me she was “chilling with friends” smh

She has been crying over the phone....I’ll have to advise her to reapply like you said, because her agent is about to drill out all her money. Her agent guy sent a Lawyers number she should call, consultation fee alone na 50k.
