profibadan: @Justwise thanks for all the wonderful works you and others are doing on this forum. Please I need your help. I got this message on Monday: "Your application has been approved and the visa has been issued. We aim to return passports to the VAC within 2 working days. You can check the location of your passport at www.ukvac-ng.com" I waited for the sms from VFS Ikeja to no avail, hence I sent a message to UKVI to know the status of my passport ebcause I intend to visit Ikeja for my passport only to get this message:
"Thank you for contacting the UK Visas and Immigration International Enquiry
Service.

We understand that you would like to know about the current status of your
visa application. I have tracked the status ( and date of birth
) and found that your application has not yet been assessed by an
Entry Clearance Officer (ECO).

Please be aware that a lack of updates on the system is simply part of the
process as there can be a delay (of 2-3) days) due to the many steps and
stages involved.

Your visa application centre or the entry clearance officer (ECO) will
contact you once a decision has been made or, if necessary, during the
consideration of your application. Please contact the VAC for further
instruction.

Though we try our best to complete the visa application process in 15
working days, each application is subject to an individual assessment and
processing times may vary, hence applicants are requested to be patient and
wait for the processing to be completed. You can check how long you'll have
to wait for a decision on your visa application in your country (if you
applied from outside the UK) by entering your details at the following
link: https://www.gov.uk/visa-processing-times. Please note that the actual
processing times may vary depending on a range of factors.

We have service level standards for processing UK visa applications. We
will process 90% of non-settlement applications within 3 weeks, 98% within
6 weeks and 100% within 12 weeks of the application (biometric taken) date;
and 95% of settlement applications within 12 weeks of the biometric taken
date and 100% within 24 weeks of the application (biometric taken) date.
Please note that we define 1 week as 5 working days.

Our patience is really really running out...

flops: Hello everyone.

I have been quietly following for a while now.

I submitted my application on the 21st of August at Ikeja and I received the approval email today.

I submitted the following

1. CAS
2. Statement of account. (I used 300 Naira as my conversion rate just to ensure)
3. Tranacript
4. Bsc certificate
5. TB test result
6. Personal sponsorship letter stating the total funds available in my account, my reason for studying the chosen course and plans for after graduation.

The TB test was a particularly funny experience because my mind played games with me while I was waiting for the result. I kept thinking about all the people with vicious coughs I had met in my lifetime and which of them could have been a carrier.

I arrived early at Ikeja and was actually allowed to go in an hour before my appointment.

For the interview, I was asked 8 questions.

1. Name, birthday and nationality
2. Title of course
3. Start date
4. Name of university
5. Reason for chosing university
6. Plans for after graduation
7. The effect of the course on plans after graduation
8. Reason for chosing the UK

It took about 6 minutes.

I was anxious about the outcome for 4 reasons
1. I had been refused a Canadian and US visa in the last one year
2. I had been refused a UK visa 9 years ago although I have since been issued the UK visa multiple times.
3. I am 29 and I have worked for my family company since graduation in 2009 in a different field.
4. I graduated with a third class and I chose a top up course in the UK.

At the end of the day, I got the email after 5 working days.

I am grateful to God. All the preparation and packaging and advice did not guarantee the visa, it was simply God.

This forum was immensely helpful. I read the last 100 pages while preparing and I got pointers on every page.

The day before I submitted, I saw the advise on the appendix 8 and I printed it out at the last minute.

I hope my sharing will help those who are planning and those waiting for responses.

Good work Justwise, SpikeC and Co.

You guys don't have no idea how many people you have helped.

Congratulations!

Use your school address, the international office address of your school will do.

Question at POE could be anything if you are asked at all, nothing to worry about.

U MUST BE WORKING WITH TELEPERFORMANCE

Guys , lets do something about this Teleperformance now. We are just sitting back, masturbating on the corridors of hope that one day our visa is going to be issued. I feel thats not the way forward. Imagine someone submitted at ikeja on the 21st August and got his visa approval yesterday, while some submitted since 11th of July at Teleperformance and nothing yet. #SheyNaLikeThisWeGoDeDe?
I tried using their complaint link on their website but saying page not found. So sardonic anyways

Good afternoon good People. Please I have a quick question.

I have booked my appointment for Wednesday 3rd(Tier 4 appointment type). This is the earliest date for this type.
However, for the standard appointment type the earliest date is Monday 1st.

Will I be penalized in anyway for changing to the standard appointment type as I have barely 2.5 weeks to resumption.

God bless for your prompt answers.

Thank you for the response. Is the bank statement(dated from 20/06/2014 to 29/08/2014) also right? and what other documents do i need? urgent reply please

It's too much, they might ask you to reprint and send to them a specific period, which will now delay your application.
Print from 30/07/2014 to 29/08/2014

Thanks a lot kingsilly
The centre is ikeja. However, I am afraid if the Visa will be ready on time given the short period I have remaining for resumption.
