Pweety1:
@Liloupazzo... What is the name of the school? You can't just say near London bridge. I guess your answers weren't clear enough during the interview.

No they didn't ask about the location of the school (London school of commerce) during the interview, it was an answer to @justiwe question. Thank you dear, appreciate your answer.

@justwise: okay, I was just afraid they don't put enought attention to all documents because it happened first withe the ECO, so I was saying myself that the may also neglect some important facts.

Hi my peeps. I made my tier 4 application on the 7th of Feb and submitted my docs and interview on the 9th of Feb. The status on the tls site has been on received by ukvi since the 10th of Feb. Can anyone pls advise how long it actually takes to process. Its over 15 working days now

Visit the VAC where you did your interview and request for an update.

Hello Justwise,
I'm just about paying for the IHS & Tier 4 visa application for a 4-year programme.

The IHS payment page says $978 and I think the visa costs ~ $470.

Do you know if I will be charged at the official exchange rate of $1/N200 or my bank rate?
I'm using a Diamond Bank VISA card.

Thanks.

@justwise please I need a help, I haven't sent my AR yet because I am waiting for the school to give me feedback. Now I cannot wait the marketing officer anymore and I want you to explain me how to send it. I have the link and the answers. But I am afraid doing it in the wrong way.

You will be charged at the bank rate should i say atm rate. its usually somwhere between the cbn rate and the black market rate, bt its alot closer to the later. you can check abokifx.com for atm rates just to give you a rough estimate of the rate for diamond bank and other banks. you might evn find the rate that was charged for somone who used ur bank's atm on d same day u intend to use it.

Check very well because the fee is £150 a year so in your case that should be £600.

They will use oanda exchange rate which is lower

I don't know why you are delaying, feedback from your school will not play any role in AR decision or outcome.

You can send it by email or post. Just a page back somebody did the same thing and was successful

I will send it tomorrow then. I just have to print,fulfill the boxes with a pen scan it and email it right? No need to send additional letter with the review?

True.
It says £150 per year initially but after putting in my details for Tier 4 General Student visa for 4 years, it amounts to £675 / $978.75.

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply.

If it's £675 then your visa will not be exactly 4yrs, it will be 4yrs + 6 months or so. $978.75 to naira conversation using oanda is still relatively lower than what is obtainable in Nigeria thesedays.

All the best with everything though.

Liloupazzo:

You can scan and email or send by post without scanning it.

You don't add any other document just the form.

Remember you have to send it within 28days of getting your decision

Okay, I was just afraid to do the review in a wrong way, because my friend called on agent but he said it is not easy to do, maybe he just wanted my money. I will complete it today and let you know.
Thank you dear.

Use additional paper to give reasons why you think that the ECO was wrong to deny you a visa or summaries it without leaving out important details

This is how I did it:
Is it good? I just made a sum up of the ECO comment and then wrote my answers

Please how long does it take for this form A to go through?. I used CBN directly as my Mother works there. And she doesn't seem to be willing to ask because she feels she has called enough favours on this matter. Please what other means of payment can I use? At least to get the visa and Form A can be used for other subsequent payments. @justwise

tapplication process to any school outside nigeria is not difficult as people think. Boss has given you list of school in the uk, so google the schools that offer what you intend to study. Let alone I would advise you go canada if your plan is to stay back after studies

That is your answer there

@justwise I have sent my AR last Wednesday. My latest date of arrival was march 7. There is another intake on april . Will they ask me for a new CAS if they change the decision?

Hello Justwise,

I have a little problem with payment.
I was able to pay for the IHS fee of $978 using my foreign debit card.
However, when I tried making payment for Visa application of $524, the transaction failed twice, despite my bank confirming that I had sufficient funds and saw no evidence of the attempted visa payment transaction.

I just want to know if the IHS fee I paid is transferable to a new application if the 3rd visa payment is not successful?
Also, do you have any suggestions about how to make progress here?

Thanks.

I think you should email the embassy about this, the two payments are different so can not be transferred.

Hopefully somebody with solution can help direct you on how to make the payment
