Hello House,
@justwise, @spikes C and other gurus in the house... PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP!!!

I picked up my passport for my tier 4 application today and I was unfortunately refused.

The only reason for refusal was that I had insufficient funds. This was however a wrong decision by the ECO because I was awarded a 3000 pounds bursary by the uni and was CLEARLY stated on my CAS. My questions are

1. Is there any faster approach to contact the ECO apart from an administrative review as my uni resumed today?

2. If No, is there any way to fast track an administrative review as I am worried the process might take up to 28 days which by then I might be late for uni enrolment

3 Does anyone know how long on average, an administrative review takes (I know home office says within 28 days)

4. Is administrative review free or do I have to pay £80 and send the reference number with my application?

Any other information will be helpful as I plan to submit first thing tomorrow.

Hey Folafabz, has your IHS been refunded?

God bless the day. Signing out.

@fizzile Yes it has... That was I first knew the application has been refused. I was eager to know the cause of refusal only to find out that it was an error by the ECO

Hello all, submitted my application at Abuja on the 6th of September, priority application. No decision letter yet. Any body in similar situation as me? School has resumed on the 5th but registration must be completed on the 23rd of September, though I didn't state that in the application.
Should I be really worried?

Have you heard anything yet??

You can't use it again and will have to pay another. The previously paid IHS will be refunded.

Have you gotten your CAS already?

from my calculation, 28 days will be on October 6 (please re-confirm). Print the statement out on October 7 and you can chose your interview date and apply online that same day if you already have your CAS.

Please note for your statement, try and carry out one or 2 transactions within the 28 days period so that the account is active. All the best.

admin review is free from outside the uk. the earlier u do it the better for u as most schools, if not all, has a latest start date

I paid another IHS for the application that was submitted. The former application wasn't completed cos i used up my 5 chances of paying for my visa fee. That application was cancelled even after i had paid my IHS, so i had to start a new one and made a new IHS payment. So i need a refund of the initial IHS fee.

If your refund isn’t paid within 90 days, then you can email or call them.

You will select your interview date online and then you will do the interview on the date and time you have selected.

As for the money you will pay for priority, I Think it is £150.

If you are using Ikeja Applocation centre, you will pay extra fees to use that centre but for other centres, it is free.

You can also check the website of Teleprrdormance to know how much for other value added services like courier etc

Thanks a lot

And so i missed my flight yesterday, thanks to those useless immigration officers that was just flipping and flipping tru my passport asking stupid question that you like to travel alot, why are you not studying here in our country, as if they havent seen a traveller bfr, i just didnt respond cos i owe them no explanation also asking me for bribe too. Outta anger i said no i dont have money to give anyone and the annoying part was that i got to the airport 2pm and checked in my luggages cos my flight was to leave 5:55pm with emirates airline and then was relaxing wit folks in one lounge upstairs, thanks to my flight peeps too who made announcement more earlier than the time they input on the boarding pass for gate to close, i ended up rushing down only to see my flight about to take off and had to pay extra 100dollars to reschedule my flight for today...lots of pple missed their flight as i saw it on their register when i was signing out and went to revoke the immigration sign in stamp on my passport and then went to retrieve my luggages from the arrival hall. Pls guys if ur travelln make sure to be inside the boarding arena even one hour before the time in your boarding pass Wishing you all a lovely day.
