covidia:
Really been waiting for your update.
Congrats!!
I am still waiting.

Thank you so much . Once you get a decision mail 3days after you should get a pick up mail. Although I was at tls on Tuesday morning o because I couldn’t come and die of anxiety I made enquiries they said I should wait till 4pm , went home sad and I took off my clothes and got a mail omo I dressed up with speed

What? This is crazy oo. It is well

chnovpaul:


Same here. Sept 8th Priority...decision mail 11th...nothing till now.

I called UKVI again yesterday. They said to give them till Tuesday next week that I'll get my passport latest by then. If nothing still, I should let them know and they'll escalate it.

Hello everyone....
Please I don't know what to do or think anymore. I did my biometrics on 15th of September and I got an email that a decision has been made on the 18th (I opted for the priority service). Since then till now, I have not got any collection email.

If they have made a decision on my application? Why is it taking so much time to transfer my documents to TLS?

I went there on Tuesday and they said they don't have it yet. Other people who applied alongside me have gotten their passports back.

Is anyone experiencing this? Honestly I cant put one and one together.

Fisayoani:


It’s all about emailing them or calling! Was that what your friend did ? I am waiting for my visa decision too

Exactly.
Like I said, my friend had gone for almost a month with no response, so he sent them an inquiry email, and they told him they would escalate it, and his passport was sent back to VAC the very next day, and he collected it the day after, i.e 2 days after the email enquiry, with a visa dated more than a week prior.

So if your 15 working days are past, and they've made a decision on your case, and haven't sent it back, maybe the reminder would help, maybe not.

Submitted on the 1st of September, interview was scheduled for 11th but did a walk in on the 3rd. After biometrics, did my interview, went with my dependants but It was just me though as the main applicant who had an interview.

It was short with just 5 questions.

1 - Introducing myself.
2 - Why the UK
3 - Why the course
4 - How will it be useful to me upon my return to Nigeria
And Lastly
5 - If I understood everything that was asked.

The interviewer (a lady) was quite friendly and easy going, the session didn't last more than 5 minutes.

Venue was TLS Victoria Island.

Visa approved and picked up.

Mail received 24th September.
Passport for myself and dependants picked up today 24th September.


Aberdeen here we come.

Thanks guys for the tips and knowledge gained.
@mimilyrics you deserve 5 plates of isi ewu.

Thank you @mimilyrics @Ahadeyhola @natstryker for encouragement and kind words.

mimilyrics:
Then you need to be well prepared. Also be ready to explain what you've been up to since your BSc and why you think now is a good time to get a Master's degree and the advantage your degree will give you professionally.
Read up all the variety of questions that have been posted on the thread to give you an idea of the kind of questions to expect. Also note that some questions will be based on your answer to a previous question. Don't divulge any unnecessary details that can work against you. Be concise in your answers. If you feel like you didn't hear a question properly, ask the interviewer to repeat him/herself. You can also check with the interviewer to ensure that what you say is what's heard.

Please anyone going to Stirling, what's your plan for quarantine?

That maybe true but those discounted tickets are also available on airline websites if you know what you are doing. Generally nothing you get from agent that will be cheaper than the original source worldwide

You seem to be knowledgeable about your stance. Can you share tips on how to get these discounts? Or can I message you?
