People like you are the reason we all here have to go through this nervy wait and refusal on simple things,
I remember when I did this 6 years ago or so, it was so easy, walked in, gbam, got told I will be given visa, but now, pfft,

No one is going to assist you here if you are going to apply with forged documents,

humblemoi:

I wish all of us on the waiting list God's divine favors. In Jesus name. Amen.
I do have a worry though, my cas number has alphabet O and zeros inclusive. Just wondering how they'll differentiate it when its written down in the form. I was unable to print it and as such i didn't include it. God help me o.

Femtopsy, Scobby, All. Anyword on this please?

Hmmm, I think you should have printed it out, though, I have heard similar situations, they didn't have a problem.
Did you write your Os as rounded circles and 0s as more flat to differentiate?
But I believe they'll figure it out though, unless your caseworker is feeling ridiculously lazy, which I highly doubt will happen.
There would probably be other methods other than the CAS number to bring up your details, like searching for your name & the university, etc.
so stop stressing.

scobyy2007:

am still wondering what kind of man is my Jesus!!!!! wooooow the experience was just absolutely out of this world. Immediatley I was given ma package, I stepped out and headed to ma car, a woman now ran to me saying Appeal!!!!!, lol she gave me a flyer which I collected, then she kept on following me, I frowned at her and said "Madam u don do your part, I will call if I need an appeal". I stepped into ma car and ripped open the package, lo and behold my VISA DEY STAMPED KAMPE!!!!!. I later took time to look for the appeal woman and returned her appeal flyer, lol[b] " Madam God no allow me need appeal"[/b]

LOL

[size=8pt]God Take all Glory!!!!!![/size]

Lol, I almost fainted when I saw a white paper, I didnt even look at it, I just scanned through my passport, first time I didnt see it, second scan through It wasnt there,
Ahhh, then I calmed the $#$$ down and checked again lol, it was there, the white paper was the university letter head, i've been sleeping well these past days,
Good luck to you guys

@ femtopsy

pls i need your advice urgently because i know you had similar issues. my sister was just denied, she just received it today and the reason given was that the maintenance fee was not held for the 28 day period. this was not the case her tuition has been fully paid and 15,000 USD was held in my dad's account from June 15th till august 1st, she submitted on the 13th of august.

i was just want to know would administrative review be better or she should put in her application considering when her school resumes?do you have an idea how long administrative review takes

pls respond

NB with the letter of consent my dad attached his company documents and company bank statements i  told him all this was not necessary but he failed to listen.we agreed she would detach this but she didn't. COULD THIS HAVE AFFECTED HER

Was the money always that amount within those months, look through his statement.
Was the account in your dad's name or his company's name. You really shouldn't use company details unless they are your sponsors.

@tboyjnr
The Admin review is still on, havent heard from them yet. I wanna reapply and my school is starting up on the 28th of September. So can i reapply while the Admin review is still on?. No forged documents Man,that would attract you 10years ban man, no sane person would wanna try that

Depends, if you were refused because you didnt get all 40 points, then you should have just gotten a new CAS and re-applied.
I'm not sure if it is possible to reapply whilst going through an admin review

Dannyboy80:

Hello Nairalanders,
Please someone who has applied for administrative review, can he or she reapply for visa?

As long as you didnt get refused under dodgy circumstancies (like forged documents) you can always re-apply,
why were you refused originally, and how long did the administrative review take?

segbas:

@Justwise and the whole Nairalanders, My, friend was refused based on the reason that she did not have access to her uncles fund of which the whole statements both here and abroad show like 700k pounds. but they said she did not have access to it, it was refused after 8working days,23-07-10 to 05-08-10, and she got the text on the 9-08-10.
now she has filed an administraive review as advised by her uncles immigration lawyer.
How long will it take for the result o come out from the Review? kindly reply, and should she defer her admision because the lawyer said she will still meet up since the last date of resumption is 08-10-2010.
kindly reply to help her out.
Thanks and God bless.

October is still far away to be fair, people are still just/ yet to applying so there shouldn't be a problem,
your friend should just follow the lawyer's advice, thats what they get paid for,
and anything outside parents-children relationship would always be a tricky one.

What is the actual date for resumption for her school??

fali:

Fellow House member, i submitted my application on the 11th August and up till now i have not heard from them. I sent mail twice to them this last week and i was told twice that my application is undergoing verification at the visa section. Please what's the meaning of this?
Thank you as you respond.

@fali email the High Commission directly, that was the reply I was getting from the VFS people, it just means stuff is still with bhc

Just got my visa today after 20 working days,
Can't remember it being this nerve racking 5-6 years ago,
Good luck with your studies for those going this September, and be good Ambassadors,
I suggest emailing the Commission directly if you are waiting,   

Thanks to everyone that have been helpful.

Real112:

To Everybody in this House, Especially Justwise,

I got my visa yesterday.
I want to say a big thank you to you guys,i really appreciate your words of encouragement and prayers.
For you guys still waiting get your visa,i wish you success.
Thank you again.

@Real
Did you get a text from VFS?

uhonmora:

@Runsman: Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! Good to hear the good news. Congratulations!!!!!

@Scobby and Jtx:
Out of impatience, i sent a mail to the BHC on monday and received this reply today:

"Dear Sir,
Thank you for your email.
Your application is in its final stage of processing.
We apologise for any inconvenience this delay may have caused you.

Once we are finished your package would be sent to the Visa Application centre.

Regards,"

So i guess we may have a few more days to wait.
I just hope it doesn't exceed next week.

I got that reply too, I applied on the 5th, its reaching a whole month now,
I will probably end up calling their visa customer care tomorrow.
Good luck to every one waiting, God Bless!!

Yeah talk to you uni to reissue your CAS and if they can give you a january start date, then there is no problem, dont rush yourself.
But call your uni now so you will know how to proceed, it might be possible to start the semester late, but i'm not too sure.

datruguy:

I was refused oh! Was awarded 30 for cas n 0 for maintenance. Would try send the reasons when I git home.

One questn - can I defer ma admission to Jan n reapply for the visa within 2 weeks from today or do I wait till nov/dec.

Please no 'sorry' posts o.

What were the reasons? where they right? can you apeal it?
You need to call your uni though ASAP,
I used my parents' account, but i just realised I didnt even check the closing balance dates on them, i hope it was ok,

There was a number that came with the reply email from the visa enquiry office in Abuja,
Has anyone tried calling?
I'd rather talk to someone, the wait is killing me, people who submitted way after the 5th are collecting their passports this week

five:

What if I am making inquiries for an application made in Lagos, do I substitute the abuja with lagos in the email addy or is it totally different?!!

Its still the same email you should use

It seems to me that a lot of us are getting refused mainly on the account of maintenance & funds,
The vfs even put a link up
For people confused about the whole situation
READ THIS : http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/resources/en/docs/marketing/tier4maintenanceguide
It is simple enough!!

Has anyone tried calling the visa customer care in Abuja?

@scobyy2007, no it wasn't me it was runsman.
I wish it was me, Really want to get this over with whatever the outcome

Ah, Thanks Runsman,
Goodluck for Tuesday, hopefully its good news

runsman003:

@scobyy2007 and AKS, Thank you and God Bless!

I sent them a mail yesterday and just received a reply stating;

"Dear Sir

Your application has been fully assessed and it will be returned to the application centre by Tuesday next week.

Thank you and regards"

Am hopeful, God help me!!!

@ runsman et al, did you email vfs of the high commission directly.
Thanks.

@runsman, how did you email them,
I applied on the 5th and the wait is killing me, i have not been thinking about anything else,

@ poster, you did the right thing. You only live once, dont let some insecure cow bother your life
hehe

Heh, I'm actually thinking of jumping ship from finance to QS,
So looking into some MSc courses in project, construction management courses,
I think QS's are too busy to be on internet forums really,

chy:

I was in a similar poeition for like two years
IS this subordinate a female
Find out if she is having affair with your immediate line manager or the overall boss
Then pray about it

Pray, lol, is that really your advice, bloody hell!!!

If it is really bad that you cannot ignore her, then find out why she is so confident to challenge you, she/he may be jealous of your position,
but first look deeply into the matter, or ask around the people you are close to at work.

@ Poster, I think what you mean is :
"Nairaland is more lively than MY Facebook",

Go out and make some friends so you wont really have to compare such things in life

Pic?

bump,

Well, there are two things you can do, tell her to relax and try and remember if that doesnt work, you can use a third party software to hack the password.
