sashacoleman: So guys I have a really serious issue and I don't know what to do. I applied on the 3rd and after waiting for over a month for my visa to come out, sheffield finally responded to my numerous mails, informing me that they have no record of me applying for visa. This is after I have submitted my application, paid, done my biometrics and my interview and for submitted my supporting documents and waiting for over a month. I am at loss at what to do because I feel like yelling at someone. I need some advice please. I submitted at vi (unfortunately)

Jeez, this just got ugly.
I told someone in the general section that those guys are having management issues but he didn't believe me. Tier 4 visa would never take that much time to change status. Mine took 1 month to change status to "package received and waiting to be accessed".

You need to print that email, go to teleperformance and demand an elaborate explanation.
If you don't be a pain in the a$s to them, they won't solve your issue

Really feel sorry for you

I've gone there ooo. Was there most of Friday. Will go back there on Monday.

sashacoleman: I've gone there ooo. Was there most of Friday. Will go back there on Monday.

What did they say?

sashacoleman: I actually did mine without my passport because my passport was at the south African embassy. I just went with the data page of my passport and the collection slip for my passport collection to prove that I was being honest.

Exactly what I intend doing because that is the exact situation I am in now. My passport is still with the SA embassy. Where did you do your TB test, Lagos or Abuja?

One thing that still bothers me is; is it that UKVI cannot confirm via the online application website if you actually applied and paid online?

spikesC:

Good. You can use the mastercard gateway, it is way cheaper than other gateways.

For GTbank mastercard:

You'll need to get your activation code from the internet portal.
Follow all instructions on that page. It should forward you to mastercard secure code website where you have to do a registration.
After the registration, you should have an activation code and a secure code.

You will be required to use those codes to pay via mastercard gateway

Which specific internet portal can I do the registration and so as to have have my activation code and secure code? how do I asses the master card gateway in order to make payment? Sorry for the many questions. I really want to get this thing because that last payment I made online (the transaction was in Pounds Sterling) was not funny at all in terms of the rate. Thanks.

You get your activation code from gtbank online banking portal, then move on as directed.

To pay on the visa4uk website, when they send you to worldpay, you'll have the option to chose between mastercard, visa, paga etc.
Just chose mastercard

spikesC:

What did they say?

They showed me proof that it was delivered to sheffield and received, I saw the tracking and my ref. Number. So I asked them what happened. They said they're not sure, but will follow up and will have answers for me on Monday.
I feel so helpless...

I did my test in Lagos.

I really don't understand how it works. I really don't. I just can't believe that this is happening.

Ok, I got it now. I already have both codes as they are needed for many online payments and I have been using the master card options since that's the card I use. I had thought it was something a little bit different. Thanks SpikesC for your time.

spikesC:

Amen, it's just to pray and hope in God.

@spikesC which one since I am using waec


Your sponsor is a Higher Education Institution (HEI), and has made its own assessment of your English laguage ability*
Your sponsor is an HEI, considers you to be a gifted student and has waived the English Language requirement

Then I also want to know if accommodation deposit is part of the accommodation fees paid to sponsor because I already made a deposit

Yes, accomodation deposit is. Remember you have to subtract it from the maintenance money

This is really really sad.... First thing first, meet those 'yeye' people at VI..they must provide answers ooh..

kemkem30:
do I have to pay fees to apply?

Depends on the school. For most schools, yes. For others, like UCL, no! It depends on what you find in your CAS though or the school's website.

Hello all, quick question.. Received the mail on my successful visa application on thursday, but up till now, the status hasn't changed on the http://ukvac-ng.com/ website..

Should I be worried about this??

Thanks.. But someone did tell me that I have to receive a text from the Ikeja office first before I can go.. Which sounds reasonable to me...can you confirm this?

If you receive, fine, if you don't, just go pick up ur visa.

Please o, I am seeing many things and I have become a bit fretful.
I have filled and submitted my application but some answers i supplied are beginning to confuse me.
Okay, for the english language requirement, my school didn't ask me to submit any english language document and I even submitted my ielts cert to them but they didn't put it in my CAS. So in that section, I chose assessment by HEI and english language waived as a result of me being a gifted student. I hope I haven't done wrong there.

Secondly, the part where they asked me of I have been assessed by any other means, I picked 'yes, by academic certificate' as stated on my CAS.

Thirdly, I made a mistake when filling the section where they asked me if I have had any other Visas to the UK . The mistake was in the date. The expiration was supposed to be 06 Apr 2012 but I put 2011 by mistake. I sent a message to the Visa4Uk email to notify them of the mistake, I hope they get to fix it before my appointment time on monday. I was told by a friend that I should tell the people who will interview me.

Should I be worried? Confused much.

write a seperate letter, notifying them of the errors, and submit it with your application

Hello @ all

@kemkem30, I just want to say congrats on your scholarship!
Really awesome.......go ahead and do us proud!

Here is hoping that everyone on here informs people (yeah, our people really dont know) about available scholarships tp Nigerians, esp Masters programmes)
People who otherwise, would have no means of getting quality education in the UK can do so....and may become that "it" factor that we need for a better Nigeria

From,
a disqualified Chevening candidate (2014)

I had high hopes, and my personal statement and all was great (IMO, lol).....I even got the first thank you for applying mail from them, my friend did not.
But I did not know I was meant to apply for 3 DIFFERENT courses in 3 DIFFERENT schools....I applied for same course in 3 different schools
I believe this was was why I got bounced....
Point is, these scholarships are real......I have a friend whose friend got the Chevening last year

A happy week ahead to everyone
