But wait o. What do they mean by photographic ID? Cos the only ID I've been using for anything has been my international Passport itself which has now been submitted. |

chuksbenin: That is incorrect, it starts from the date you made your application and not the day they received it and send you and acknowledgement email 1 Like |

Baba Justwise no vex o. I was just interpreting what I saw from the mail sent by Sheffield to me and other applicants. They made it clear that the 15 working days are specifically for processing. And of course processing starts from the point of reception by the UKVI not the VAC. In fact the VAC guys can not even do anything about your application until they receive any instruction from the Home office. I stand to be corrected though and I still respect your wealth of experience in this field. Respect! justwise: |

Good afternoon, i am new here and made a promise to give a detailed account of my visa application irrespective of the outcome. i am grateful to everyone who has used their time to add value on knowledge in this forum, especially this topic. Too many people to acknowledge but i really appreciate and God bless you all |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by yomiselmer: 2:28pm On Aug 25, 2016 |
justwise: lol... @justwise the person is not clueless (the mail was sent by VISAINFO.SHEFO@fco.gov.uk acknowledging receipt of application), it is just @chucksbenin who interpreted it wrongly. this is an extract of the mail for everybody to make their own Judgement. Please note that UKVI aims to complete all Visit Visa applications within 15 working days and all Settlement Visa applications within 12 weeks of the application date. If it is not possible to complete your application within this timeframe a member of our team will contact you to explain why. Have a niceday everyone. @zaty and @mcstar, please don't forget to inform the house if you get your decision mail today. Have a wonderful day. |

chuksbenin: You are right to the extent that the 15 days is for processing. However, you are wrong to count processing days from date of submission to UKVI. That is not the case The VAC operator (Teleperformance) acts for and on behalf of UKVI. In other words, they represent the UkVI. As such, once you submit your application to them, you have submitted to UKVI. Processing time thus starts running from that date.

i received my CAS on the 29th July i applied online using the UKVI website on the 1st day of August ( i made all effort to be truthful though i made errors which i think were negligible) i paid using first bank at 375naira to a dollar ( 440 USD visa fee and 220 USD IHS) i had appointment for interview in Abuja on the 3rd day of August Documents submitted include ( documents on CAS, TB certificate, bank statement, Oanda currency converter for the 31st day of july) i had my interview, on the 5th day, i got a mail that my application has been received at Sheffield On the 22nd of August, i received another mail that decision has been made i got a mail by 9:53am this morning that the documents has been pass backed from the consulate i collected it this afternoon, thank you so much 2 Likes |

Sorry to prove Justwise wrong, but I spoke with the home office and they made it clear over the phone that it's 15 days from the day your documents were received and acknowledged by the UKVI. Haba! They even confirmed what I said before that TLS and VACs are all partners not UKVI workers. If your application exceeds 15 days from that point, they will definitely email you to explain. That's the confusion. This last guy that just got his visa here is a proof. Calculate his timing. Others too. No one has exceeded 15 days. But if you calculate with the day of application, almost nobody got his or her own before 15 days. Another funny thing is this, what if you extended ur appointment date maybe a week or more from the day of application, while another person selects a day after his application as his interview date, will both of u get ur visa the same time because u applied the same day? Funny. yomiselmer: |

Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by chuksbenin: 3:16pm On Aug 25, 2016 |
Lucky you. But why did you print Oanda converter for the 31st when your application was on the 1st? Anyway I checked the Oanda rate for both 31st of July and 1st of August and they were almost the same. Explains pls. Thanks. charlesmighty: |

Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by chuksbenin: 5:01pm On Aug 25, 2016 |
Actually I had the same issue but then I confirmed it from a friend who works at the Imperial College. The 22:00 is when they close for the day and take the mean fluctuations for the day. They use the last trading day to arrive at the average of the next trading day. So you don't have to print a day before. The date is there for u. You were lucky the rates were almost the same for the two days in question. Lol. Congrats man. charlesmighty: |
Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 3 by yomiselmer: 5:28pm On Aug 25, 2016 |
chuksbenin: UKVI doesn't actually need you to even submit the Oanda printout. They verify themself and use the applicable rate. |

My baby finally picked up his visa today!! Yaaayyyy!!!! Guys the headache of the oanda rate of using naira to buy pounds or vice versa is unnecessary cos all i did was multiple the tuition fees by the rate i wanted to calculate it by eg £5000*N400. Cos the rate isnt stable anyway all this naira side and pound side i didnt use it it was just this week i read on the forum and saw the headache it was causing its simple maths. So i used N400 to calculate but by the time i was submitting the rate was N419 but as justwise advised i submitted it like that cos we all really dont have control over the market. So i was about N40,000 short or there about Also my UK bank didnt give me a bank statement as they dont issue monthly bank statements for savings account so they gave me a letter stating how much was in there and how long it had been there for wt the account name and number. Submitted at VAC 15/09 Decision mail received 22/09 Collected 25/09 Thanks guys 1 Like |
