Thanks Duchess. I used my account during my application. So far i have paid 11k out of my 14k tuition. What i need to know right now is that if my dependant is applying, does she only need to have her maintenance funds for 9 months? I just need to be clear on this to avoid any glitches.

Hello

That should already be in your account if that was what you used during your application

Please everyone, I cancelled and requested for IHS and visa fee refund for over 6 weeks now and It has not been refunded. Meanwhile this was done before biometrics day.
Please help... I need the money and I don't know what to do... I have done paid mail and nothing was done

Hello

Try requesting an update via paid mail in addition to paid calls

The complaints team may come back to you at that point it's your decision to drop the complaint or escalate it purely on the timeline and how much this has affected your mental health

Let your Uni keep chasing and keep calling on your behalf

I want to do more, I just can't

Keep us updated please

Cheers

I did, but I can no longer contact UKVI for an update since I did that. Every time I call, that's what I am told.
I am now in contact with the Visa Support team at my school to try to get it resolved.

Hello gurus
Pls I need the email or phone number to make paid call or mail. I did biometrics with my dependants (wife and baby) on 20th of July. All of us got a non straight forward mail. We decided to wait. Luckily for us, I (main applicant) got Tls collection mail on Thursday 03/08/2023 and BRP mail on Saturday 05/08/2023. But my dependanta has not gotten any decision. Application is still on DMC. I think it is time to contact them. Please help.

Except for the email aknowledging receipt of the complaint filed almost 3 weeks ago, I haven't received any email. I call UKVI 3 times a week but each time I am asked for a reference number, then informed that my case is currently being handled by the complaints department and they will get in touch with me.
I am grateful for all your help, Lord knows I couldn't have gotten to this point without you.

FIRST COMPLAINT
" Dear Home Office,
I am writing to ask for assistance with my VAF Application 373****, bearing Reference Number GWF070******, submitted on the 19th of May 2023. I underwent the Biometrics process at the TLS centre located in Victoria Island (VI) branch, Lagos State, at 10 a.m. Subsequently, on the 25th of May 2023, at 9:05 a.m., I received a non-Straightforward email. Later that same day, at 9:35 a.m., I received an email requesting additional documents to clarify the gap in my study history. I promptly responded by providing the required supporting documents on the 29th of May 2023 and followed up with an email on the 1st of June 2023.
On the 1st of June 2023, at 1:36 p.m., I received an invitation for an interview with Maryam Azam, representing the Sheffield Student team. The interview was scheduled for the 3rd of June 2023, at 9 a.m. Since my concluded interview, I have been patiently waiting for a decision for six weeks. During this period, I have made two paid inquiries via email:
1. On the 12th of June 2023, with Reference: 1870817, at 11:57 a.m., I received a response at 1:54 p.m., stating that a decision regarding my application was still pending.
On the 20th of June 2023, I sent a follow-up email and received a message from Dani at 1:14 p.m., indicating that my case had been escalated and I would receive a response. However, I did not receive any further communication.
2. On the 6th of July 2023, I sent another paid email with Reference: 1954927 and received a response at 4:21 p.m., apologizing for the delay and confirming another escalation by Saiqa.
This time, on the 7th of July 2023, the International Escalation team contacted me through email, informing me that a decision regarding my visa was still under consideration due to the non-straightforward nature of my application.

Lastly, on the 14th of July 2023, I made a paid call to inquire about the status of my application but was informed that a decision had not yet been made and was advised to keep waiting. However, this continued delay, surpassing the standard processing time by almost threefold, has caused me significant distress and uncertainty as I make essential preparations for my imminent studies. So, I would like to kindly appeal that you kindly assist in this matter, so a resolution is achieved.

Yours sincerely,
Piya ******* "

SECOND COMPLAINT THIS MORNING
Urgent Appeal for Timely Resolution of Visa Application (Reference: GWF070155678)

Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern and frustration regarding the significant delay in the processing of my visa application, Reference Number GWF070155678, submitted on the 19th of May 2023. The extended processing time of 11 weeks and 3 days has caused me considerable distress and uncertainty, particularly given the imminent start of my studies.

I would like to bring to your attention the timeline of events related to my application:

1.On the 25th of May 2023, I received a non-Straightforward email and a subsequent request for additional documents to clarify a gap in my study history.

2. I promptly provided the requested supporting documents on the 29th of May 2023, followed by further communication on the 1st of June 2023.

3. An interview with a member of the Sheffield Student team was conducted on the 3rd of June 2023, as per your request.

4. Multiple paid inquiries were made via email and telephone, resulting in assurances of escalation and further consideration of my case.

Despite these efforts and interactions, I have yet to receive a decision on my visa application. My school's resumption date is rapidly approaching, leaving me with only 7 weeks to finalize my preparations. This delay has put a strain on my ability to make necessary arrangements and has cast a shadow of uncertainty over my academic pursuits.

I kindly appeal to your sense of urgency and compassion in addressing this matter. I understand the complexities involved in processing visa applications, but the prolonged delay in my case has reached a critical juncture. I respectfully request that you prioritize the review of my application and provide a timely resolution.

Your assistance in this matter would greatly alleviate the distress I am currently experiencing and allow me to focus on my studies and future endeavours. I am dedicated to complying with all necessary requirements and obligations and assure you of my commitment to abiding by the terms of my visa.

Thank you for your attention to this pressing concern. I eagerly await a favourable response and resolution to my visa application.

Yours sincerely,

Piya *****

MY GOD IS TOO FAITHFUL TO FAIL ME.

VISA ALERT 🍾

Omo! My story long as I’ve previously had a student visa refusal earlier this year (CAS was withdrawn because UKVI didn’t make a decision on time) but let me just break it down to the basics!

For this application;

CAS came in July 26th 2023

Visa Application same July 26th 2023

Biometrics at TLS Ikeja (Standard) July 31st 2023


NO NSF, NO INTERVIEW


Application Transferred to VAC/Collection mail August 9th 2023 🍾 (Exactly 6 months after my previous student visa refusal on February 9th 2023).

Like it is written in Luke 21:13 “AND IT SHALL TURN TO YOU FOR A TESTIMONY”

Indeed, It really has!

Thanks to all the gurus here who helped with answers to some questions that bothered me throughout the whole process. God bless you guys!

All those awaiting a decision would surely see the hand of God in their application. Just remain positive, prayerful and hope for the best.

GOD IS TOO FAITHFUL TO FAIL US. 👏
