bunburized:
Thanks so much for your kind response.
Pls are you saying I can go ahead and book an appointment for 4th of Dec now?
I was actually thinking I can only make the booking after I have printed my statement of account.
Once again, to be sure I understand you correctly since the deposit was made today 5th Nov I can print out 3rd Dec and book my appointment for 4th Dec?
Is the above correct?
Don't I need CAS to be able to book an appointment online?

Yes, you can book an appointment before printing your statement but let the period be close to each other (say about 3-6 days apart). Don't worry, it won't be fully booked around that time of the year so if you go online on the 2nd of Dec, you'll definitely get appointment for 3rd or 4th.
Yes, you need CAS before booking an appointment as your CAS number will be used. And yes, the earliest date to print your statement is the 3rd Dec if you made full payments on 5th Nov.

A number of factors can cause that delay. But since you say it is now 20 working days, the best thing to do is to call BHC and make inquiry about your application. They'll tell you what is happening. Don't panic, it happens. Just call them.

kellyemms: i am having problem wiv my toefl online report score. It no longer displaying my score dats why i wana use my olevel result

Why don't you mail your school and explain to them, they may be willing to assess ur English using ur o levels just like some other schools do.. If dy don't agree, better to prepare n book a Pearson test and send to them to reissue a cas. I am suggesting Pearson coz I took it n got results next morning and every UK school accepts it...

This guys can be unpredictable. I actually applied for student visa last week tuesday at lekki. 2 of my friends who applied that same day in abuja got an sms yesterday that their passport is ready while mine is still showing under processing.

Pls is there anyone that has the correct bhc contact should pls drop it

madeit2thetop: Pls is there anyone that has the correct bhc contact should pls drop it

Its somewhere in this loooooonnnnnnggg thread, try google it out
Alternatively, go the BHC's website for it

kellyemms: i am having problem wiv my toefl online report score. It no longer displaying my score dats why i wana use my olevel result

i see miz Gene has given you some advice too
Yet bottom line is ,IF YOU WANT YOUR VISA WITHOUT STRESS, only submit documents listed in your CAS [nothing more or less]
Datz all

Pls who is presently studying at Anglia Ruskin uni.

Firstly, I am sorry to hear about your refusal.
Now, note that tier-4 applicants do not have full appeal rights especially when the refusal is not based on matters like prejudice and sorts. The only option to review a visa application decision is to apply for an Administrative Review, and the process is available on UKBA site.
Go through the UKBA site, search this thread and read about Admin Reviews, then if you have further questions, post it here.

but its stated that i can appeal to the decision if think incorrect can you tell me steps for administrative review do I need a lawyer to do that?

njideofor: but its stated that i can appeal to the decision if think incorrect can you tell me steps for administrative review do I need a lawyer to do that?

Please, read the UKBA site very well and search this thread via Google. The step is simple and it is online. In fact, it must have been written in your refusal letter.
As for the lawyer thing, well, if you have money to dispose, you may go for one. But you do not need a lawyer to fill an ordinary form and express yourself.

Thanks so much. You are a darling.

thanks for your guidance please I want to ask again...after applying for administrative review do I need to summit back all my documents back to embassy or wait until they contact me?

No you don't need to submit docs again. They will contact u I guess.

Thanks Gene. Please do u know where i can get online practice question so i can get prepared for it asap

kellyemms: Thanks Gene. Please do u know where i can get online practice question so i can get prepared for it asap

Try myexamenglish.com just Google around u' ll see similar practice tests for other exams, also the pearson site has a handbook and other instructive manuals u cn download n read.
I only saw one free Pearson practice test online.
Make sure u run thru d Pearson examples so u get used to the style of their exam and their peculiarities . But basically u can also use ielts n toefl free practice test to get used to understanding accents and answering questions like I did.

bebe2:

I personally don't understand your case well. But if your TOEFL is not over 2 years old, and your school accepted it, and you have the original document sent by TOEFL, then I don't think you have any problem. For instance, with IELTS, after a time, you can't check your result online but any school in the UK has a special password and link used for verification. So explain this your case well, or contact TOEFL.

i was checking my toefl result homepage and i found dat i can no longer view my score anymore but i av the online print out which i used in applying to my school den. I told my school to reissue anoda cas to put my waec instead of o'level but they said dey av already sent it to ukba.Toefl said dey had problem with the center dat i av to write the exam again. my score is not up to 2years. can i still use the online printout for visa application? do ukba really verify the toefl score or the just look at the printed copy?

I tink this bhc folks are planning to eat my passport and docs..since 9th of oct and nothing yet .well God dey sha

My brother (or sister), I'm sorry I cannot answer your question directly. The UKBA are not predictable, trust me, so don't assume tuey won't verify (especially when you submit an online print off version). Let's hope some other people who understand this issue come online and help you out. And by the way, how did your school verify it? And did you ask TOEFL if UKBA had the means to verify your result despite the centre issue?

Some get their visas even before others that submitted after them
If you read through this thread you'd see that
My suggestion is you call the Abuja BHC office or fire them a mail
Google their contacts [though also its on this thread too if you can fish it out]
Tip:Visa related enquiry calls are only between 10am - 12pm on workings days [Even at that calling after 11am is a no no cos automated messages will tell you no one can receive your call]

Don Oms, what has happened here is that Nigeria just recently lost ' accreditation ' for carrying out both toefl n gre tests, the reasons for this hasn't been made clear but could likely be due to cheating at some centers. So apparently this is what is affecting some people's results.
@ Kellyemms, I believe UKBA will know about this and being their usual thorough/ killjoy self, they will use every opportunity to refuse u a visa. if u ask me,dy may even be looking out for applicants from Nigeria with Toefl. You can either risk it by going ahead to apply and hoping they won't detect it or mentioning it in ur interview. But instead of risking your 80k on rejection, why not register for pearson now with 37 k and and get ur results almost immediately. The ukba accepts it, so does EVERY school in the UK even though u may not see it on their website. (You must realise that d more time u waste, then d less likely u' ll get an agreeable date for the exam cos toefl is no more there so every1 will b rushing for ielts n pte, so d earlier u make up ur mind d better)
You then send d result to ukba n u can explain explain during ur interview why u r providing a pte instead of the toefl written on ur cas ( u can include d toefl print out too). You may also want to mail ur skl n ask for the pte score they accept, but if u aim for a least score of 75, dt wud b good for ANY school as most skls require a score of 59.
