chivitech:

I got the same message 2 days ago. It is from the UK embassy directly, not from the application centre. The tracking that still remains forwarded to the British commission is from the application centre's website (I presume you used VFS Ikeja or Abuja). I presume it will change when they receive the passport back from the embassy. At least, that's what I am hoping for as we are in the same boat.

Yea VFS ikeja applied on the 26th
So how many days are we looking at school resumes 15th

[quote author=coolsam123]Please do people get notification messages from vfs over d weekend, i.e. saturday or sunday? Thank you.[/quot
Your application has been approved and the visa has been issued. We aim to return passports to the VAC within 2 working days. You can check the location of your passport at www.ukvac-ng.com.
I got this mail today
But the tracking still remains forwarded to the British commission

Miada:

Congratulations did u apply in ikeja or abuja?

Please ooo I did mine 26th too @ ikeja haven't gotten any thing yet
Please God hear our cry from vfs
What could be the reason for some coming earlier than the other
Baba God na your hand we dey.

DonOms:

You have nothing to worry about regarding late application. The status often change during the day till night but I doubt it does after midnight.
Try to relax and get your mind off it. Stop tracking every 10 mins. It's just 4 working days. Start tracking on the 9th working day. Remain positive

Thank DonOms

DonOms:

More often than not, it's not the letter you need but a note in your CAS. What you should have asked is if it is pointed out in your CAS.
You have 13 working days before the 15th Sept., so that is still fine. Your chances of denial due to late submission is very slim. Just remain calm and expect your visa. Where did you apply?

Ikeja
My liver no gre calm me down
@ first I tought I had the strength but bro the thing dey fade off
I track my visa like every 10mins
And it is states on my CAS that the latest date for joining this course is 6th October
Pls I need to know how dis tracking works is it that it can only change during working hours cos I check even dead night

francistayo: To God b the Glory collected my package today around 3 pm, passport stamped,all original documents intact.the yeye sms I was expecting came in hrs lata wen I don forget sey I collect am asking mi to go pick my package

Congrat @ feancistayo at least ur liver go dey where it suppose. Which u all the best
Na we remain still counting day 4
If God be for us

DonOms:

App 8: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/261462/vaf9-app81.pdf

Yes, contact them first thing on Monday and let them include the details of your latest start date on your CAS.

Yes, I implied that it is risky to apply using 14th as start date. The truth is you can't get appointment date on Monday, so assuming you get on Wednesday (3rd Sept), you'll have only 7 working days before school resumes. It is highly risky without extension for your resumption date.

@ donoms pls how about my own case I requested for an extension from my school they told me dey can't give to me an extention letter rather dey told me that I have till October 1st for late resumption and I would pay 40 quid for late enrollment
I already had my interview and ve submitted my application on the 26th August
And school resumes 8th of sept for induction
Class resumes 15th sept

baba justwise i have been trying to track my visa online but the stuff is not opening

justwise:

At least a week, if it comes out before that then great but you don't need to start panicking after few days.

Thanks for the info

@ justwis,spikeC I ve gotten to the waiting and praying stage I submitted my application yesterday and the interview went well enough
The question was straight forward and we laughed over issues on concentration away from home
1. Pls wen do I start tracking
2. I did mine in ikeja
3. And he soon should I expect

justwise:

Get 2wks extension from your school just for a cover in case of any delay with visa processing. Attach it to your application.

Thanks a lot

justwise:

You don't have to worry yourself about the interview thing because its not your fault.

6TH of Sept and your interview is 26th of Sept?

No school resumes on the 6th of sept and my interview is for 26th of August
Thanks

GVA: Please how true is it that Ikeja is not conducting interview sessions? Mine is tomorrow please.

@justwise pls is it true ikeja office don't conduct interview any longer for tier4 I already ve an appointment for 26th of this month
Pls justwise my schl resumes on the 6th and my interview is on the 26th Is this a red light
Though lecture starts on the 15th
Pls what is stand here
And about the ikeja visa office what it means by not conducting interview cos they gave me an appointment date for 26th.
Thanks

Booked an appointment on 15th
But I was giving a date for 26th of August

spikesC:
Yeah, its all good. Though if visa requires there own verification, you just use paga

I guess that ll do?
My tb result id out and its perfect

kemkem30:
Hello , for some reasons I have been worried about going for my tb screening. Please pardon me for asking the following questions. Were u coughing before going for the test? Did u for any reason suspect ur xray would not be clear? Have u ever had tb? Please if u cant answer here please u may send a mail. I have never had tb but i react to things(sometimes just ordinary tea can get me coughing) and the major manifestation is cough. So i am worried that, this my affect my xray. Help a worried sister out. My test is next week.

I was just lucky to have spoken with the man taking the X ray
Folloe this instruction
Do as the medical operator says (breath in, out)
Try as much as posible not to smoke for as long as it can take b4 the test
Try to be healthy as posible

spikesC:

You're good to go on the 15th of August.
You can print ur statement, make payment and can even submit on that 15th if u get an appointment that day

Thanks @spikesC

spikesC:



Good, it is now up to you to know if you can meet up with the installments

i have worked out the mode of payment to meet up with the installment
thanks to you guys

one more thing i started counting for my 28days from 18th of july am i good to go on the 14th day of august as my TB result will be out on the 14th as well,
can i print my statement tomoro the 14th day
can i make online payment for my visa tomoro the 14th, and if i do wen ll my appointment possible be
pls good people of naira landers help me out here
as i have to go back to my wrk dont want to stay more than this weekend here in Lasgidi

guiddoti: The truth of the matter is: if your school supports late instalment without additional fees for paying late, there is no worry about that, but you must pay before you finish your masters.

yes they do, there is plan that offer for installment payment u ll be allowed to choose the number of times maximum of 4 installment

spikesC:

The question you should ask yourself is this:

1. What's the minimum guaranteed income per month from your business
2. What if your business fails, is there a way out for you
3. How many months do you think that £1000 will sustain you for? Have you made an accurate calculation of your future expenses?

Your outstanding bill is:
Fees: 4400
Accomodation: 1940

4. Do you think your business will be able to fund the above when it is required to be paid?
And also fund your living expenses?

I presume you're going for masters, and you'll be very busy that it would be hard for you to get and maintain a job in the UK.

5. So, can you sincerely assure yourself that your business will fund all the needed expenses within the required time frame?

@spikesC very sorry for responding this late, i beg ur pardon
the truth is that i can only meet up with the remaining 4400 towards the end of my masters period
the remaing 1940 will be paid immediately after 17weeks which the initial payment will cover me for

Emmagency:

Yea.. Ikeja... it was pretty easy....its hardly different from the basics.. just have what you're going to talk about before hand...

congratulations to u @ Emmergency
all the best

justwise:

Your bank card and some cash for immediate needs in the UK.

@justwise u know saying the truth here is the way out
my schl fees is 12900
deposited 3500
going to pay 5000 wen i arrive in the uk (will be going with the cash )
accommodation is 3440
payed reservation fee of 500
going to pay 1000 pounds getting there(with the cash @ hand)
cash @ hand for personal use for me that i ll be going with is 1000 for upkeep
total cash @ hand will be 7000
TOTAL money is 20280( fees 12900, maintenance 7380)
i ve payed a total of 4000 here in Nigeria
ll be going with 7000 cash

congrats to you keith101 all the best

worry359:
If somone gives the security people a cause to look closely at them.
Then it is possible that they would check on finances.
But not everyone on every flight.

pls throw more light on this oooo
so if one is eventually asked of finances what are the possible way out
in cases where one borrowed funds to run for maintenance or a case where by u borrowed money to complete the amount in the account and u have to return it be 4 travelling?

justwise: [/b]

I doubt that, delay at POE?....may be.
