I got my visa today, finally!!!!!. I submitted on the 4th of July, received the message that my processed application is ready for collection on the 27th of July. Who else is going to Manchester?

ikcbn: Hi Justwise and tanx for the good work U re doing on Nairaland for us. I have read through the forum although not all cause it's pretty much.
I just got an unconditional offer to study at d university of Sheffield on 01/08/2012, was asked to pay an initial tuition fee deposit of £1000 to enable them confirm my place and start the processing of my CAS number. I am very much willing to pay this fee but am just worried about the tier 4 Visa application processing time, as in d time it might take since my due starting date is on 24/09/2012.
Please, if I stand any chance or still have a little time for that, kindly let me knw so i could pay up immediately and also list out all the necessary documents that i would be needing for the Visa application.I have also applied for a school accomodation and an ATAS certificate like i was asked to on my letter of offer.
Thanks for much anticipated help and time.

Do you have the maintenance money and your school fees balance in your account or your sponsor's account (father or mother) already for over 28 days or u just want to move it there.

If you have the money already in the account for over 28 days, then you would have no problem. Pay the deposit, University of Sheffield would send you your CAS in a maximum of 3 working days, and you can apply for your visa on thursday or friday next week.

If you dont have the money already... you gonna be racing with time as you would need to lodge the money for 28 days from today or monday. Visa processing time is 15 working days, that's 3weeks, it can be earlier but never bank on that.

If you put the money in your account on monday 6th August, 28 days would be 3rd of Sept. you could apply on the 4th and 15 working days would be 26th which is past resumption already.

Also if you have just the maintenance money in your account or your sponsor (father or mother) for over 28 days already, you can go ahead to pay your whole schoolfees and apply sometimes next week to speed up the process as this would save you a lot of time.

Do the maths and best of luck

PS. I tot school resumes on 17th (Intro week) and lectures start on the 24th cos i should be going to Sheffield too. You could also write the school and ask for a two weeks late resumption period. (learnt that from this forum)

from your description you are on track. Apply with all necessary documents and be hopeful. At no time within the 28 days or during the visa processing time should your account fall below the required balance (maintanance + schoolfees balance) irrespective of the exchange rate

I have been trying to track my visa application. But its been telling invalid stuff. And its abt 9 days now. So wats d issue with my tracking mode?

Kudus 2 all my naija peeps here especially justwise, darkchild and all who've contributed immensely to the success of so many peeps, pls just wanna make an enquiry, I submitted my application on the 31st and wanna know if dere's a probability I might be called for interview, has any body been called for any interview of such?? Pls I'd appreciate ur comments cheers!!

PLEASE KINDLY ADVICE
I have a friend. he has all necessary things. As in 1. money is already in account for 28 days. WAEC certificate, the challenge is that he is having has to do with his transcript. It is not yet ready even though he has applied since the first week of July. Please what is the way out. I need your candid advice pls.
the agent gave my friend the option of using his original certificate + a photocopy a previous transcript requested. But please note Transcript was written on the CAS. But based on post I have read so far on this thread, it doesnt seem advisable as Original copy of transcript has always been advised.

Please I need ur urgent advice plssssssssssssss.

una no try at all o ; but sha the AGENT should work for his money

Dharkchild:

At no time within the 28 days or during the visa processing time should your account fall below the required balance (maintanance + schoolfees balance) irrespective of the exchange rate

I am surprised to read this. Please are you saying the bank will divulge the current balance in your account to embassy after printing out statement or what do you mean by

what happend to the first transcript?. If transcript is in the CAS how will u go about the date of the transcript if u apply with a new one. Because they usually state the date of the transcript to be used on the CAS

If it was there mistake then they should correct it in time for your bro to be able to use it.Just be patient, he would get it before his start date

Good to see goodnews from visa applicants on the thread. Kudos to all who've taken time to address some of the issues presented.

EmmaIK:

Thanks. Does that mean I can apply on the 10th?

Thanks.

When exactly is your start date? You can apply 10th August. Just walk into your bank very early and print the statement for the 28 day period, then quickly get access to the internet and use the closing balance stated to verify the pounds equivalent on oanda.com, print out the conversion page, Then take your other required documents and head for the visa processing center. If you're applying from lagos, processing times is likely to take longer than applying from abuja. So u should start counting 15 working days after application depending on when you receive the alert of ur application being dispatched to abuja. If you apply on friday 10th, start counting 15 working days from monday 13th (though you are likely to get a decision on your application before the 15-day period runs out depending on application traffic and issues spotted on your application status), then check the corresponding 15th working day(excluding weekends and any public holidays within the month). If your school would have already started enrollment before that date, then you have to contact your school informing them of possible delays in your visa acquisition and request for a late enrollment date to avoid anxiety.

Oga justwise u fit use style fire somebody small o. the reason I asked was because I have always followed this thread. And based on my understanding of what I have been reading from this thread. The agent seems to be leading my friend astray, hence the reason I asked for clarification.

It's not necessary to have their(Your Sponsor) name on the CAS. The CAS will simply state that so so amount has been paid toward your tuition. The letter of Sponsorship covering the remaining tuition and your maintenance fees should be submitted with all other necessary documents during your Visa Application. The CAS will come by Email.

That will depend on who the sponsor is, if the sponsor is Nigerian Govt or international org then they have to be named in the CAS
