[quote author=holyboy.com]I jst got a call from abuja. UK embassy, said i should come to the embassy tomorrow in lagos to collect my Visa. I asked her if it was stamped she said Yes. I actually cried to God and told my uncle who is with Foreign affairs. She collected my details yesterday. I want you guys to pray for me. Shld i still wait because my status is still the same. And i padi 4 courier.[/quote]I thought passport notifications were sent via sms ? Surprised you are getting a pick-up call. Anyway I suggest you do as they said by going to pick it up tomorrow.

abbakacici: when do you summited and where

I submitted on the 6th of sept in abuja

I have just called BHC and was told that my passport is at the final stage and should be ready for collection by tomorrow or thursday, Please guys, what does the final stage mean? Could there be any further delay after this stage?

mubby08: Good day dear, my visa is 10 working days today o, but no news yet. The Brathay trip for my class is on the 28th i.e. Friday. Hoping the visa comes out soon. Btw is there a formal registration/sign up for the Brathay trip?

Lol you should be more worried about meeting up your latest. Start cate

So I called BHC this morning to find out when my passport will be ready and the lady asked for my passport number. Thereafter she says "Give us a call tomorrow "

Jen1: Can they help with the application?

No but they can give you an extension to resume late

Jen1: Start date is 25th September, latest start date is 11th Oct

Speak to your school's visa office because you risk losing 30 points due to late application

Jen1: Pls, is the premium service available for tier 4 study visa?

When is your start date and latest start date? Check your email for the appointment confirmation page

hasano5: Hey there guys

Quick question. If I had the money that they need for a consecutive 28 days period, and, I deposit an amount, for example, on the 29th day... in this case, they will consider the amount I had before the deposit and ignore the recently deposited amount since it did not pass 28 days. Is that right?

They are likely to count 28 days from the last transaction on your bank statement

zobalaw: sheffield...i am a lady by d way.am not sure of the kinda 'warm' clothes to buy...i rilly suck at packing..

iT SHOULDN'T BE COLD YET. I SCH IN GLASGOW AND ITS NOT USUALLY COLD BY THIS TIME OF THE YEAR

ochukoccna: Stop stressing yourselves
I think its best you tidy every unfinished biz cos of the mad rush that'll follow once you visualize your visa
I check twice daily (morning and night) and I've not today knowing even if its ready, Monday 'll be the earliest I can collect it

@ochukoccna did you apply on sept 4?

JideVince: 4th Oct, last date: 14th Oct,2013.

Oh wow. You got exactly 14 working days LoL

@abbakacici is really killing us here ooohhhh LoL. Shelling things

JideVince: thanks so much Don oms! I was able to active online banking,print the online statement, stamped and signed. My appointment was for 12 noon and I got the statement around 1.44pm, i went anyways. I got there around 2.20pm. Thankfully, i was able to submit my application today! GTBank na wah oh! Which kain wahala be that one self? I was just moving from one branch to another, until i got told it was a bankwide problem.You can print your statement online but cant print it from the bank? None of those constumer care guys was able to suggest the online statement to me. On a lighter mood, is it allowed for me to start tracking my application today? Haha! Day 1 UKBA release my visa abeg!

LoL when is your schook resuming sef? Visa takes 15 working days sha. Although there are rumours that abuja applicants get it earlier

JideVince: Gtb can't print my statement since yesterday. this absolutely ridiculous!

Print the online version and take it to the bank to have it stamped. When is your school's latest resumption date?

elyasnawabi: @justwise please need your expertise... I was refused under 320 7a and the reason was fake Bachelor degree from computer science according to the ECO which not true I don't how can they even do this to me. What can I do to prove that my college degree is genuine? ; (

Kindly type out or attach the refusal notice here so we can assist

kayoflyf: I just pray d interview means collection..cux d last tym my mum wux invited fr such interview she ended up rercievin her visa same day by 2pm...again ,pls do u knw any1 dat has gone tru similair process of second interview fr tier 4 and d final outcome ?

No I dont. am also surprised at why they are calling tier 4 applicants for a second interview when they know that schools in UK are resuming this week and next week.

kayoflyf: If 5 days,wy tell me 2 come wif ma collection slip ?

The collection slip will serve as a form of ticket into the embassy.

kayoflyf: Havn't lived in d uk b4 and ma skul start same date...I told dem about it but dey said dat dey can't giv me anoda date cux oda date has been taken by ppl dat submitted b4 me....again I wanna knw if dey could giv it 2 me same day cux dey said I shuld come wif ma collection slip

You are likely to get it about 5 days after your interview.

MicSmith: Thank you. I applied on 2nd sept in abuja. Visa was issued on the 16th

Oh k. That means your passport was ready for collection on the 17th?

kayoflyf: Bank statement wif 3.5million in ma name,ma CAS letter detailin dat I paid ma full fees,waec result statin dat I had C6 in english,b.sc second class upper,accomodation contract,VAF 9,appendix 8,passport,transcript...submitted @ Ikeja

You have nothing to worry about then as your application is in order. May be they want to find out more information regarding your immigration history or background. When is your latest resumption date? Have you been or lived in the uk before?

kayoflyf: Pls I nid ur help Adim asap...I submitted ma application and had an interview on d 26th of august bt I wux called on d 11th of sept by d embassy tellin me dat I shuld come fr anoda interview @ der deputy high commission @ walter callington V.I on d 23rd of sept by 7.30 am wif only ma collection slip....am kinda freakin out cux I paid ma fees in full and had all ma documents submitted.plus ova 3million naira in ma account fr unkeep...wondering wat d interview is all about ??

Could you list out what you submitted? In addition, where did you make the submission

@mikesmith Congrats . Did you apply in abuja? And when did you apply?

MicSmith: Collected my visa today. Thank God



I'm also going to coventry. Haven't booked a flight yet tho. Which airline are u using

Hello, I have got a long travel history and the textfield in the ukba online form cant contain details of all the countries i have been to in the lat three years as well as the date and purpose of my visit. In addition, does transiting through a country for 24 hours count as a visit?

princessmoi: Thank you abnot. No i applied in Gambia and it was processed in Ghana. It took 11 working days but i got it yday. Have you received yours already?

Na I only applied last week. LoL

princessmoi: I just picked up my passport, applied on the 29th of August and received it today, 13 working days. Special thanks to justwise for all the help you are really doing a wonderful job. God will continue to bless you, ur kids and grand kids. Amen! Thank you so very much, and to all those who helped in answering my questions i say thank u, to those waiting please be patient you shall share the good news with us. A dream of many years has finally come through.Justwise

Congrats @princessmoi . Did you apply in ikeja or lekki?

Congrats!!! You applied in lekki right?

Debby D: applied in Ikeja... jst wanna be sure cos i'm go'n b out of town 2mao and not coming bak til weekend

The sms notification is unreliable. Continue tracking it online. Once it is ready for collection, you will see it online. Afterwards, you can go pick it up

Debby D: i submitted my application on 3rd Sept and today is the 10th working day and my status changed today to "processed passport is in transit to the UK Visa Operation Center".... how soon should I be expecting my call/text?

Be optimistic. where did you apply? abuja, ikeja or lekki?

jennyfar: I just did, thank you. Do I have to reapply with a new account statement if I pay the rest of the fees?

First of all, you should apply for a new cas from your school urgently.
Secondly, you should pay more money to your school so they can show a higher amount on your cas. This is because, if you pay more money into your account, you will need to wait for another 28 days and I assume time is not on your side.

Lastly, take note of the oanda currency converter for the date you intend to apply. Use the naira to pounds conversion option
