Good morning,

I want to ask if there is any link to track UK visa application. Apart from

https://uk.tlscontact.com/ng/ABV/index.php

If there is, kindly reply my post and give me the link

Thanks in anticipation

mimilyrics:
If you don't get any feedback as per your decision today/tomorrow, I think you should call them but note that the contact staff might or might not have the info yet because my own GWF number is still not recognized on the tracking site.
But I just got a decision mail from TLS. TLS site updated to decision made. I'm awaiting the collection mail. Nothing from Sheffield.
Online submission: July 16
Biometrics and interview: July 19 at TLS Ikeja

Wow! Congratulations on this note. Can't wait for your Visa Approval news.

shyy:


This is my timeline so far:

Biometrics : July 13
Sheffield email: July 20
TLS decision made email: Aug 25 @ 08:27a.m

My ref number is still not recognised on d ukvi website, guess they haven't gotten around to update....

I haven't gotten a pickup up mail from TLS yet....
I hope for a positive decision ....
Goodluck to those still waiting

Congrats bro. To have received such a mail is a clear indication that decision has been made.

Just get ready COS you'll receive collection mail soon enough.

.

My earnest prayer is that myself and everyone should get decision mail soon enough. Meanwhile Today is my intended travel date.

Well. There's nothing God cannot do!

Hello. I have a situation. I applied in 2015 for a tier 4 visa to study in the UK. I got refused due to insufficient funds (The real reason is that I didn't leave the money in the bank for 28 days). So I applied again last year (2016) without fast track and was granted a visa. I did a foundation programme so the visa only lasted for a year. Now this year, I want to apply again for another tier for a visa which lasts for the whole 3 years of my course. I want to find out if it is possible to fast track without my refusal slowing down the process.

Yes it is very possible. Sadly Fast tracking isn't guaranteed these days because of the highly peaked period. I would suggest if your resumption date is around the corner, I fear you might request that your school gives you about 3weeks of extension starting from the date of submission and biometric, then you can go ahead to purchase priority. You should be fine that way. Otherwise just purchase Super priority that has a 24 hours decision timeline but costs £919.
Note that, your previous visa refusal won't affect you in anyway so long as it is declared on the Visa form.

I have received a collection mail. Making plans to collect the passport today. Praying for good news.

Thank you very much for the fast reply. I intend to pay for Super priority. I will declare the visa refusal just like I did last year. Hopefully everything goes well. Thanks again.

Hi everyone, please who has hints and advice for someone going to University of Birmingham, accommodations and all?

Hi. I was in university of Birmingham for my undergraduate. PM me for any information you need. Happy to help.

Hello everyone.

Does anyone have an idea what budget one should have for accommodation per month in London for a couple with <1 year old?

Thanks.

MissKayD:


Hi. I was in university of Birmingham for my undergraduate. PM me for any information you need. Happy to help.

Just did, thank you.

Ellizle:



It's best to check with the school for groups to join where students that share their experience about the university. As for Accomodation, I will advice you use these sites- gumtree, Spareroom and rightmove. These three have affordable rooms around your desired location. Have always used them or word of mouth.

Thank you

All thanks to God almighty, Thank you @justwise and @Spikec for your prompt answer and nudge when i was confused, may God continue to bless you.

I am really sorry about this seemingly irrelevant question please
Can someone kindly enlighten me about using nigeria's drivers license to drive in U.K.Do you need to get a special international driving permit from FRSC?

Hi guys,

I've been following this thread for a while now without commenting. It has been a very informative and educating experience. Although I did my biometrics before I discovered the thread ( I wish I had found it earlier though).

Well, I just picked up my documents and bellow are the details of my process.

service used: Standard

Application submitted: 10 July

Biometrics and interview: 12 July

Documents sent to Sheffield for Decision: 14July

email from Sheffield ECO for document preparation for Decision: 20 July

Missed a call from UKVI presumably for second interview (didn't know they were the ones calling): 14 August

Called Home office to escalate delay: 15 August

Missed two other calls from UKVI (calls ended before I could take them): 18 August
NB: I Seriously started freaking out at this point

checked the UK visa link and Decision Made on 19 August: 21 August

Received Decision and Collection emails from TLS: 24 August

Reluctantly picked up Documents: 25 August

DECISION: VISA GRANTED.

Now I can sleep easy.


Good luck to those yet to get their decision. And thank you guys for the updates and advice you keep sharing on the thread.

I am particularly hopeful with you... you will definitely get it...it is a tough wait tho

@Endlessgrace, what's up with you application?

How far @Endlessgrace?

Endlessgrace:
so happy for you. congrats Susom, my timeline mate

Its obvious Abuja is faster than Lagos because we submitted same day but am yet to hear from them. mine is at Ikeja

Congratulations.
Please can you log on to your visa application page and check the status. Mine is still showing status as completed, just as it was before decision was made. I called them this morning and they told me that a decision was made on the 22nd August but I am yet to get mail from tls and the status has not changed on the tls though it has changed to DECIDED on the UKVI website. Please do help me login to your application page and check the status there. If it is completed or something else. Thanks. Below is the link.
