Application date June 2nd (Standard)
Biometrics June 4th

On the 15th working day, i got a mail that my application wasn't straight forward so they needed more time to make a decision

July 2nd, Application Transferred to VAC
July 2nd, Travel Documents ready for collection.

Collected the passport today with my VISA intact.

1 US visa refusal (tourist)
1 SA visa refusal (tourist)

It wasn't an easy journey especially after getting the non-straight forward mail. I read so many articles about non straight forward mails and how it takes 8 - 12 weeks to get a response from the UKVI.I prayed asked God for a quick response, and i got my collection mail just after 5 working days.

To all those waiting for unconditional offer, CAS, TB Test, Biometrics and VISA, I pray everything will work out for your good in Jesus name.

Congratulations! It came finally. God be praised!!

vI

Did you pay 33,000 for choosing Vi. And if me and my dependant are applying together, do we pay one 33,000 (as per one application) or we pay individually.

Preshyi:
Because we dont have extra £55 to pay before using V.I centre. But if you have it, then by all means use them.

So I have to pay extra 55 pounds if I choose vi?? Now I see. Thank you for the info

Priority Application - Abuja

Waoow? So fast! It's like abuja center is faster and less stressful. Congratulations to him and thanks to you too for your time.
Meanwhile, i intend travelling with my husband, leaving my children with Grandma. Reason is that we don't have enough funds to carry everybody for now. So my question is, will it affect our chances of getting the visa? While filling the visa application form, do we have to clarify why the children are not going with us?

mattfeuter:


Relax.

He’s actually right. As long as the money doesn’t drop a naira below your opening balance for the whole 28 days , then it’s fine.

Hmmm, u mean if I withdraw from my POF and it reduces my opening balance but not beyond the exact amount I am to have, I am not on the right track? For instance, if I am to have 500k as my exact amount, I put in 1.5m (which I believe is my opening balance) and at some point I withdrew 300k, to make it 1.2, then finally to 900k, u mean such statement of account might disqualify me?, Please scobyy2007, AA07, Optimally, abeg, make una explain this thing more

Haywhy3233:
ok success since there was no refusal mail.

Oh, u mean dey use to send refusal mail too??, Haa!, Like they send the mail before you receive ur passport

scobyy2007:


N14,596,200

Oil is on your head....Please go ahead and sin no more

I would like to suggest that the money is kept in the principal applicant's account. My view though!!!

Wait for the 28day rule to be fulfilled.
Go for TB test as a family
Get your CAS

Fill Student & Dependants Online App

Pay IHS and Visa Fee

Voila...visa go land

Amen o, thank you very much. To my second question, what I mean is, the steps to pay for ihs, like my friend in US sends the dollar, I receive it (through western union) or can it be paid directly into my husband's dollar acct (providus bank), then, what next. like I just want to get the money (in dollar) down now,

Hello house, please put me through for the last time, bikonu. I want to deposit the funds for POF ,
My tuition balance is 9000pounds
My maintenance fee = 9207
My husband's M/fee = 6120.
Total = 24327pounds.
So, I multiply by 600. Hope this is correct?.
Second question- for the ihs and visa fee, my husband has domiciliary acct with providus bank, a friend of mine in US will help me get dollar. So after that what next?,

Exoticmm:


Get an attestation from your uni saying you’re the same person with the different name arrangements, also an affidavit just in case, as some schools don’t accept affidavit.

Thank you for your response. But, i am not talking about school here, I mean visa application. I submitted affidavit already to the school which they accepted before updating my offer. will I submit the affidavit again during the Visa application?, Even if it is not stated on my CAS?

Good morning house,I just got my degree certificate, on it just my name and surname was written, my second name was not written, like Just Okonkwo Christian,but on all other documents, all my 3names are written, like Okonkwo Christian ikechukwu. My question is hope it won't be a problem during visa application, if I am to upload it. Secondly, the way the CHRISTIAN was written on it, like a kind of design, makes it difficult to recognize it's Christian. I don't know if this would be a problem too

HSpecial:
Please concerning the financial capability where we have to put money on the account.
I heard from someone saying they could check the account even at entry in the UK.
Please who is aware of this? I plan to touch the money after my visa approval.
‘Will appreciate your informed response please. Thank you guys

How true is this? Those that have gotten visa and successfully travelled should clear us on this biko. Cos I have heard something like this too, I don't believe. But anyone with info on this

NwachukwuEjima:


Yea just checked again it has now been moved to vac thanks..

Congratulations o, please come and give your testimony o

Bmuhd4smile:
House please how can I get closer date for TB test... my scheduled date is August but it's far. Is there any way to have a closer date.

Thanks

If you are in Lagos, go to their office at ikeja. Try go very early, you will see people (like you too) who need closer date. If you are lucky, they will attend to you (change date for you).

Mayor46:


Why ?
There is nothing on their website that mentioned such thing ?
I have already applied for part time at University of Hull and I just want to confirm if anybody has previous experience.

Why are you doing part time? I don't think u can get Visa for part time. If you really want to get a Visa, then plan well and go for full time.

otunbanimi:
Good morning people,

Is Polaris Bank statement okay to show proof of fund?

Has any used it or using it for their visa application?

Kinda urgent. Thanks

I used Polaris to pay my tuition deposit (AFP). I believe its ok to use for pof

Ezriela:
Yes u have to start your count afresh

Hello, good morning@ Ezriela. Please, which is best to do. I have an Ecobank account I opened early this year, i have been using it. Is it best to put in the money for POF in it for the 28 days. Or, I open a fresh acct like stanbic bank and lodge the funds in it. (This is because I see a lot of people doing this. They open fresh acct and use for it.) I don't know if that's the best. Please advice me

Lankybaby:
Pls when are they going to start issuing new passport please here in lagos I need response

If you have applied before and done capturing, they have started issuing. I collected mine last week. But if you want to just apply (like now), I heard they have stopped application for new passport till when they are done issuing out all the outstanding, so I heard

Optimally:
Paid out funds and closing balance is not something we should've been concern about if we believe in our banking system and their professionalism, paid out funds are the withdrawals made on the account either over the counter, ATM, cheque, transfer, etc, while closing balance is the difference between the sum of opening balance+cash inflow-paid out funds ((opening balance+cash inflow)-paid out funds), all things being equal, and the opening balance should also always be the sum of the closing balance+inflow-paid out funds, if any of these is up by a naira or down by a naira, that will suggest the POF is not genuine or has been tempered with, So in this case, when the individual paid out funds after been sum up were subtracted from the opening, what was arrived at was different from what was printed as the closing balance. Yes, the maintenance money for outside London now £1,023 monthly and £9,207 for nine months I stand to be corrected though. The matter has been cleared, na Bank make mistake of not including SMS alert as paid out funds

Ok, thank you so much. But, please, how do I send you a mail. I need to get something straight. I don't know much about this Nland features.

morinto:
It seem u.k is are in public holiday. Trying to call my school to tell them that have not gotten feedback about my unconditional Admission. Pls house how is wale in general because most of my friends told me nothing is happening in wales that I should stick to the university in England that offer me admission even though there are stressing me mentally.

I got offer from Cardiff in Wales. Honestly, nairalanders don't talk about Wales and I have been wandering like what is happening??. Biko, someone should enlighten us, how is Wales in general

Optimally:
Check with the bank came back positive because the money was there as at the time of their check, but they're saying the statement is not genuine because the account is not balance as a result of the difference in closing balance and paid out funds, and generally speaking, if that statement was not tempered with, nothing should have made paid out funds and closing balance not to tally when calculated, if it doesn't tally, account is not balanced and that suggest alterations of some kind.

Please, explain o. Which one is closing balance and paid out fund and they must tally? How do we calculate/ get this one?. Secondly maintenance fee (outside London) has it been increased to 9207pounds?. I don't understand,
