How come your biometrics was done nearly a month after submission. Did you choose the date yourself?

Guess it's because we started to fill the forms early so we could check over and over and then submitting as soon as we were good with them. We weren't even aware of the 28 day rule before submission. We only focused on it for biometrics.

LagosismyHome:


Glad to see this .... Congrats

May God bless your new journey

Thanks a lot

Amen

Congratulations!!! Please are you working in an office? If yes, did you get a leave letter from your office or better still what served as a home tie. Lastly was the 20m still in your account when you applied for visa

You wait till you're contacted for passport pickup.

adebowalee:
Please what happens when UKVI ask for passport to be resubmitted. I have submitted today and I have been expecting an acknowledgement from TLS but nothing yet? Should I be worried?

Phenmeson:


I beg how much is Keystone for FormA and their commission?

For those asking for bank to process Form A, you may want to consider KEYSTONE BANK.

I applied on a Friday and the school received payment the next Thursday.

I can't tell exactly how much their exchange rate is, but they debited #1,147,216 for £2015. I know there must have been transfer charges and all that included in the debit cos I received just the one debit.

Do you need a return ticket to purchase PTA at keystone bank?

Santa2:


Go to Keystone..they will give you PTA in pounds..Got mine yesterday.

Here is my issue; i was refused visa on the financial grounds. UKVI refused me visa stating that i'm supposed to have an a closing account balance of 20006pounds, but that is not the case by my calculation my account balance should be 15306 pounds.
Here is how i arrived my conclusion; my school fees is 14000 of which i paid 6000 and was given a discount of 4700 by the school which amounts to 10700 pounds and a balance of 3300 pounds to be paid to the school. it should be noted that i am aware of 12006 living expenses and as a result of which i had a balance of 17004 in my bank statement.
My CAS only showed that 6000 was paid by me and failed to mention the 4700pounds discount that was given to me(i didn't know it was supposed to reflect on my CAS). UKVI refused me visa saying that i can apply for administrative review. i complained about the decision to my school and they said they'll look into it and carry out proper investigation. however, my fear is that i dont know if the school will write to UKVI saying they made mistake on my CAS or will they ask me to apply for again of which another bank statement will be required, i no longer posses such funds in my account . please i'd like to know if someone has experienced something similar and what my next course of action should be

VISA VISA VISA!!!

I don't know where to start but these last 42 days have been something else for me but I thank God the end of it is sweet.

Submission - 10th December
(28 day count started on 7th December. This was the primary cause of my sleepless nights when people told me I should have waited for the 28 days to be complete before submitting, that it's automatic refusal. Some even asked me to cancel the application and start again. This was difficult for a family of 5 so we prayed about it and moved on - God answers prayers o)

Biometrics- 7th January (standard)
Now the long wait began.

Non straightforward mail - 25th January (12th working day)
Like play like play, it reached 29 working days. No mail, nothing. Hmm!

Decision confirmation mail - 15th February
After several mails and back and forth with UKVI

Collection mail - 17th February

Collection - 18th February
All 5 of us got our visas

I appreciate everyone here especially @lagosismyhome @mimilyrics @sandradee @wakandaprincess

Thank you all.

For those waiting like I did, you will all get yours too. Its a matter of time.

#HeisafaithfulGod

Congratulations !!!

If you check the thread, I had a similar issue. Mine was refused on the 4th of February.

Really sorry, trust me I know the pain. It is a waiting game but the first step is to contact the school which you have done. Considering the funds is not available to you again, I think an administrative review will be best.

Also request your school to send you an invoice that states your outstanding fees. You might need that document as supporting documents for your AR.

Hello I got admission with Teesside, I sent you a mail.

Hello, please any update from Teesside University? Do you have idea when they will start issuing CAS?

@damilaare thanks for your advice, i just hope they don't ask me to reapply.
Hope your case has been resolved

Good Femi,we are a family of 4 too, though already in Scotland. It's not an easy task running this whole application thing when you are more than one or when its a family. So start preparation early enough from food, to stuffs that kids will need. The 10 days isolation is boring, kids will eat almost every hour. Pack enough of everything and anything though you can also make shop using your naija master and visa cards on Amazon.
Best of luck to us all
