I wanted to give a massive shoutout to everyone who contributed here. I wanted to share my experience through this process. It may give some people hope/and help them prepare for the journey to study in the United Kingdom.

Application Type: Standard
Bio Date: 20th of June, 2023 (Abuja)
CAS Used: Email from University 5th July 2023 (Email stated: CAS used; this means your application has been processed and should receive a decision soon)
Radio Silence (No NSF/Additional Document)
1st Paid call after 15 working days, first escalation (No update/Under consideration)
2nd Paid call after 15 working days, Second escalation (No Update/Under consideration)
3rd Paid call after 15 working days, Third escalation (No update/Under consideration)
Complaint Date: 3rd September 2023 - No response
School resumption date: 18th September 2023 (I still have not heard back from UKVI), last enrolment date: 9th October 2023.
24th September 2023, BRP Mail Visa Successful, dated 20th September 2023 (You can Imagine the relief!)
Waiting for collection mail .....
By 29th September 2023, No collection mail; the following week, I sent a series of emails to update my Uni.
I visited the TLS centre to check if it might be an issue with them emailing or texting me on 3rd October 2023, and I was told my passport was not ready; I met quite a few people with the same issue on that day, BRP email and no collection email, distressed is an understatement.. trust me.
I emailed the Uni to please extend the last day of enrolment for me as I already have the BRP email on 5th October 2023 by 10 am; shortly after sending that email, I got an email from TLS to collect my passport !!
I'm at the airport right now with no sleep as It has been a massive rush!
It doesn't matter if you're applying three months before resumption; please use it if you can afford priority. The gamble and stress/anxiety that comes with waiting is NOT WORTH IT! That being said, I know a few people who used priority and waited two months plus.
God speed.

Hello everyone, does anyone knows the number of days it takes university of south Wales to issue CAS after tuition deposit and secondly, does the school requires pof before issuance of CAS. Thanks

Ephhay:


The Nigerian representative said within two to three days. I don't know how true that is. Yeah, they request for POF before the issuance of CAS

Guys please is Pictures , chats history, marriage certificate ( but not up to 3 months old) bank statements showing money sent to each enough for UK dependent visa?
Though we would be adding NIN because our NIN has the same Naija address but we have only been in Nigeria together for just 10 months, we also want to add SHEIN invoice 🧾 showing our address in Dubai from 2021 , will this be acceptable because we don’t have bills paid with both our names or tenancy agreement with both name, I have mailed the housed I lived in in Dubai to add my wife’s name to the contract but the said it against their policy and I don’t want to forge anything

Apart from dependent passport
Tb test certificates
police clearance

Our pictures together is from 2020 to 2023
WhatsApp Chat history is from 2020 to 2023
Bank statements showing money sent to each other is from 2021 to 2023
SHEIN invoices is from 2021
NIN is just 10 months.
We want to submit our visa by Monday

Muzikluva:

These would do. My marriage was 2months old when I applied. We got our visas in 6days (standard). Just do well to arrange the pictures, WhatsApp chats, bank statements in different pdf files, from 2020-2023. You won’t have any problem. Make sure to add wedding pictures too.

Good day duchess and other gurus in the house. My kids did biometrics on 14th September, and there was no response from UKVI,only for them to send empty nsf on the 15th working day. It's past 15 working days already,Can I escalate?
Also ,which is the better option to get feedback in time between escalation by paid call or by paid mail.
Thanks so much, awaiting your response

dduchess90:
Hello

Yes you can escalate

Either, paid call/mail are attended by the same team and will require same process of escalating

Cheers

Jeff0983:


Thank you so much, yes I have arrange everything in different pdf.
Pictures is 101 pictures from 3 years ago (2020) to January 2023, I just hope they don’t request for another thing.
When did you apply for your visa?

Muzikluva:

Our Biometrics was September 13th and collection mail was September 19th.

dduchess90:
Hello

How long ago was this??

Since he left voluntarily it should be fine, he should ensure he declares it and prepares for an interview
There will be enough scrutiny on his application to confirm he is a genuine student

Cheers

dduchess90:
Hello

Not allowed on this platform

That is encouraging scam marriages and deceit

Attracting a 10year ban when caught

@Justwise please help

Hi Duchess!
Thanks for your reply.

He returned in August. He is quite worried they will hold him to ransom for not finishing his degree before returning.

I just received a message from DHL that they are bringing my package from TLS contact. But I have not received any mail from UKVI on the approval of my application. Please should I be worried.
