abbakacici: House I summit my visa on thursday but am yet to recived my visa application ref number is that a problem or not

It is not sent to you. It is written on a ticket slip given to you stapled to a photocopy of your passport.

If ur skul has reviewed ur english already, do u still need to submit ur waec result with ur visa applications.

Crystobalite: Thanks to justwise and many others, i got my visa after 10 day. It came on my birthday. What a gift.
I wasnt able to ask questions here but i read the whole pages 1 to 173.....
University of Sheffield.
Thanks JUSTWISE

Congratulations!

enoch77: Gud justwise .. Plz for God sake I urgent repply on my post .. Plz . I was refused ukvisa the decision stated that I submited photocopies document but with my best knowlegde I submited originals .. Plz what can I do ?

Post your question here https://www.nairaland.com/823855/general-uk-visa-enquiries-part

This is a wrong thread for your question

lalla89: NO I have about £10000 in my saving so if remove £5800 out of the money the remaining will not be enough for me as maintenance fee to apply for my visa.But if it is £2000 abt £8000 will reamin in my account and is enough for me as maintenance fee to apply for my visa.that is why I need a college or uni that will accept the deposit of £2000. Hope u will help oga justwise

There is no short cut, you need to have your school fees + the maintenance money, even if you saw a school that requires no deposit and issued you a CAS you still need to show that you have the whole money.

anyibaba50: Guys just picked-up my visa today! There are two things I want to tell you guys about. One is about the guy that was refused visa because the ECO concluded that his money was only available for 21days because he saw transactions from 31st July. I meet a guy today at the VAC who was refused visa because he didn't include a bank statement eventhough he did. The guy applied for an administrative review and he said today was tHe fifth day and guess what, he received his visa. I feel that if this boy got his visa after five days of administrative review, that other guy that was refused should apply immediately.
Secondly I enter plane from ABUJA to owerri,na so inside d plane hot well-well o, na so they plane one begin tax,everybody come begin shout say we can't fly dis plane o, they com of-load us begin work d plane for over 30mins,finally they com transfer us to another plane. Nigeria sef! Wetin pain me be say the air-hostress they smile they tell us say the plane go cool for sky!

Guys. See me see wahala!

I pretty much doubt that line of story.

Ah! Mr Justwise, I was beginning to consider the Administrative Review Option but this statement of yours is making me have doubts. Please, do you think it's not possible to have a reply to an administrative review in 10-working days? You probably saw my case, do I have a chance at having my refusal overturned too?

I never heard of adim review that took 5days, like i said i pretty much doubt the story, if i were you i will reapply, much quicker than admin review

Okay. Thank you sir.

Please justwise..... when I downloaded the appendix 8, I discover it is for tier 4 applicants only while am applying for student visiting visa. 'Please does this mean I don't need to fill this or as a student visiting visa applicant, do I have different form of this type to fill'? Thank you!!!

Don Oms:
Congrats about your visa. I have never heard that Admin Review thing taking a short time like that o. Did the guy apply via e-mail or by hand @ the Abuja office? Strange things happen though. And as for your flight, well, this is Nigeria.

I saw him with my own eyes yesterday. The mistake I made was that I didn't get his number. But I remember he said something about contacting a law firm that drafted a sort of letter for him and he used it for the administrative review.

humble_dove:
Thanks for mentioning that information. I was the one ECO refused visa. I have been contemplating on the Administrative Review or Re-Application. But more than anything, I want the refusal cleared. Please, I have the forms already although not yet filled. No address was written on the refusal notice and I'm confused on where to address it to or which e-mail to send it too. Please, can you reply me with the address or e-mail the other fellow used?

He said something about contacting a law firm that drafted a sort of letter for him and he used it for the administrative review.I wish I collected his number. But get the law firm letter ready first.while I make some inquires and get back to you

There supposed to be an address where to send the form on that administrative review request form, if you can't find any then post it to British embassy directly and also email a copy to them, mark your envelop: 'Administrative review' clearly.

You don't need any law firm or lawyer to write jack for you, its pretty easy stuff to do, you can use this guide if at all there is something you are not sure about .http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/visas/admin-review-guide.pdf

@anyibaba50

Do not drop anybody/ law firm contact details here, promotion of any sort of agent/agency is not allowed.

Thank you.

Thank you very much Mr Justwise. Actually, I've been seeing 2 addresses for the British Embassy: One is "Dangote House, 33 Aguyi Ironsi, Maitama" and the other "19 Torrens Close, Maitama." Please which should I use and could is this the email: Abuja.Visacustomercare@fco.gov.uk.

Use the Abuja address, they seems to be quicker with things, yes the email address will do using the appropriate subject.

I think u shld send a Pm to that guy who reported the story mayb he can shed more light to u on exactly how the review took place. If u hv enof dough to spend mayb u cAn try both review and reApplicAtion.

Don Oms:
Some schools don't ask for money (e.g. Cranfield Uni.) And some ask for as low as £1000 (Sheffield Hallam) and some anything between £1000 and £5000. But the truth is, whatever amount you're paying as deposit, you have to show UKBA you have the rest before they give you visa.

Thank you very much with the info I will check the schools even thou september admission has past but wll apply for january,but please like how much will I save in my account before I got my visa at UKBA

lalla89: Thank you very much with the info I will check the schools even thou september admission has past but wll apply for january,but please like how much will I save in my account before I got my visa at UKBA

post like this justifies justwise ruthless response initially on this thread that i condemned. Pls lalla89 read through this thread before asking questions. I bet you will be glad u did.

Don Oms:
If classes begin on the 30th of Sept, it means that date will most likely be the latest resumption date. If your money will be 28-days old by 30th, you can only apply that day or the next (earliest) and there will be 0 days allotted for visa processing.
The implication: REFUSAL.
Your Choices: Ask your school for latest resumption time and if it is not 30th and leaves at least 12 working days from 30th, then apply. If not, please ask for deferral till January next year (if your school allows January intake) or September next year.

Hi guys

Can you help me with this please:

How will my original doc be returned to me?
My CAS stated just 2 docs (Engineering certificate and a language certificate) but i have applied for the course with other things like reference and transcripts...Should i also include them in my visa application?
I will use my sister bank account should i send her birthday certificate in my application file to prove the relationship?
During online application do we have to upload scanned copies of our supporting docs?

Thanks for yours answers.

1. Your documents will be returned to you when the visa processing is completed. You can collect your pack at the application centre or at your correspondence address (if you pay for the courier service). Ensure you submit a photocopy of each documents, except the bank statement and the forms. PS.- you can make photocopies of the forms too, but for your personal record purpose.
2. You NEED to include documents as indicated on your CAS document. If you have those other documents you mentioned you can add them, if you WISH.
3. You WON'T upload any documents while applying online.
4. You can't use your sister's account. Ask her to pay the required fund into your personal account or you can use your parent's but you'll have to provide your birth certificate and a letter of consent from your parent.
