Sisila:
Hello guys,

Good evening, i submitted a family join visa application since last year February 2025 yet to receive a decision. Is there anyone who has received a decision?

Or can someone put me through the whole spousal visa process? Please , thank you 🙏🏾

That's a year plus. To be honest, from what ive seen, thats " normal "

Refer to this : https://x.com/DrJoeAbah/status/2099503395195310500 . People talked about their experience

Jandminded:
I wonder when would be deadline to even defer, I'm not yet sure if I would ask for refund or not.

I think you can send a mail on the last day to resume or a day before then.

Jandminded:
Computing with Development Operations, how about you?

I'm yet to register, but I'm considering to register tomorrow or next while waiting..

Can you register without the visa, is it possible ?

Did nobody here see their number on the list? At least the approval rate was really good. It’s a new week and it’s looking promising, for them to publish a list on Monday.

Good Morning everyone,

I collected my visa today from DHL and glory to God it has been approved.

After 16 weeks of waiting, i thank God. I pray everyone who is awaiting news will hear goodnews soon.

DHL messaged me on whatsapp on friday evening notifying me that my passport was on its way back to lagos from abuja, i went to pick it up this morning from their office.

I wish you all the best and thank you very much for sharing your updates with me.

I keep coming back to this message, and other messages in this timeline. The next 2-3 weeks would favour everyone of us waiting.

Oghenetega2507:
TU Dublin’s resumption deadline is on the 28th.

You'll have to keep mailing oh, if possible call too. Because there's nothing else we can do apart from that

emy1206:
this thing they are doing is unfair. No matter if it’s 10 countries
. They ought to follow their own rules

It used to be like three pages before, now it's either a page or two max. sigh

Oghenetega2507:
I submitted my application on June 3rd, and it arrived at the embassy on June 4th

That was fast, just a day. Did you submit in abuja ?

Toolsin:
Abuja have 3 other 🌍 application.
The list uploaded weekly is for 4 🌍 country. Statically is like they treat less than 10 files from each. I heard lots of students are waiting. It is well.

OMO. I don't want to believe that short list published every week is for 3 different countries oh. omo

Toolsin:
Is yours out today

Anyone that submitted in June and gotten decision today

So far, it's only about 3 people that shared they have gotten a decision for this September intake, going through the thread. The delay is general, everyone's complaining, even Indians. I'm guessing the application for this intake was a lottt

Toolsin:
Not yet, sch resume in Monday.

I don't know what to do.

Email your school about your situation. They are well informed about late arrivals and usually have a final deadline to resume (usually 1-3 weeks after school resumes) .

emy1206:
I am very tired with these people, can someone staying in abuja not visit the embassy physically? or is there some other way these people operate? emails and calls get same generic response. my apllication was recieved according to vfs since 9th june

Sadly there's nothing we can do other than to just wait.

Jandminded:
That ISD hardly updates, since 7 weeks now it's still on "Application received"

From what I heard, it skips all other steps and go to the Application decision or Application complete when they have made any decision on your application.

New list is out, and the approval numbers were encouraging. Anyone saw their number ?

It is well. just got this mail back

"Dear Sir/ Madam,

This application is still in queue for processing,

Due to the large number and complexity applications the current processing times will exceed the stated processing times.

A decision will be issued in due course.

Please follow up on the Weekly Decision Reports page to find out if your application has been decided.

All applicants are advised to refer to our website www. ireland. ie which advises of weekly decisions.

You will require your AVATS reference number to check this."


Since may, bruhh. I might have to start seriously considering deferral.

Badddoo:
Which kind country be this? Kai

It's honestly frustrating. Since may fgs.

Badddoo:
No decision for this week?

Even the ISD portal is down, maintenance I think

Moveittothem:
14th September, deadline is 28th September.

Many people may have to defer at this point

Then you definitely need to start emailing them or even try calling. I was reading through some of the earlier messages here, and someone mentioned that they called the embassy and were told they weren’t attending to student visa applications at that time, even though the resumption date was already getting close.

No list this week yet. Something is definitely up. I'm just coming from an Indian community and they are also complaining about the delay (not as much as ours though)

Moveittothem:
Can someone whose application has been with the embassy for 7 weeks write them?

You can mail them anytime, but maybe make it at least 8 weeks (since the timeframe is 8-12 weeks) not that the timeframe is even being followed sef. When is your school resuming ?

Cheedera:
6th of which month?

He said may

barbiejem:
Mail to mail

Try the website enquiry

barbiejem:
I sent a mail to make an enquiry on my application, stating that today is the 95th day.
All I got from them was "Good day, thank you for your email"
Just that. Anyone experiencing this?

How did you mail them ? from the website or mail to mail

Jandminded:
It's tiresome, we that applied in July can only but hope on miracle at this point.

Everything concerning this is just stressful, both physically, financially, and mentally.

To be honest, I don't think applications are handled based on when you submit anymore tbh, somethings just don't add up. Because someone here submitted may and got rejection july, and now someone from may just got a refusal yesterday (September)

Trust22:
6th of May?

Jesus Christ... That's means no hope for June and others especially those their courses are starting this month

Brooo, 4 months just to get a denial is wickedness. The workload is definitely too much for them. I'm just imagining how they want to handle what they have not been able to handle for months in just 3 weeks before school deadline

Toolsin:
I wonder what is causing this delay.

I pray they upload a reasonable number this week with approval.

Let trust God.
Miracle can still happen

I honestly don't know man, 3-4 months is crazy. That means January intake should have applied last month.

barbiejem:
Nothing yet. 14th week started on Saturday

15 weeks and a day for me. Sent the embassy a mail yesterday, no response yet

veramani31:
A friend that applied on the 6th was denied yesterday. Worse part no rejection mail. Document was just sent back with the rejection

Sending love to him, not easy at all

Any updates from anyone at all? now is not the time for everywhere to be this quite

Badddoo:
Has anyone here ever gotten decision within 6 weeks?

When did you submit

Ayiri55:
About 14/15 weeks
Emirates.

Thank you ! I'm currently in that timeframe. Please did you need to get a Dubai transit visa ?
