Pls has anyone here successfully processed a refund from VFS?
More than 2 weeks now, they debited me and Flutterwave confirmed that the payment went through. But their customer care is just so unhelpful, not even an acknowledgment. They keep responding like after every 4 market days to ask for another document (passport, appointment letter, etc) |

giselle237: Congratulations!
Your strongest advantage was that the home office made a significant error by claiming you were interviewed, along with the sponsor, which clearly did not occur. You effectively highlighted this discrepancy. Additionally, they burdened you with double expenses by requiring another visa application and possibly forced your hand to pay a priority fee because you had no choice but to meet up with your date. These were your key advantages . Second strongest advantage was that the previous application you were punished for what was not within your rights- CAC and its maintenance issues. Should not have punished you for that. Indeed, this is just it. Thank you for your comments since then. |

onile1975: @Codedtobx098 You a locky person I congratulate u
Please what was the mistake you made in ur first application and how did u correct it I guess it's not account issue?
2) what airline booking reservation did you use to get the visa? 1. First refusal, business was not seen on CAC . This was a technical error as the website was on maintenance. I added additional docs so as not to give them another ground for refusal 2. It's advised by UKVI not to book a flight ticket until a decision is received. Anyways, you can book on BA's website by paying completely. no book on hold, and I think it's refundable before the first flight |

Bikky302: Congratulations! Please what did you do differently in the second application thank you. CAC website was finally working this time. Submitted the same docs as the first time, plus - updated statement (had less money by this time) - full year (2024) income and expenditure report (used Claude AI to analyze the entire 116pg 1 year statement) - IDs and pictures of elderly parents and dependents in Nigeria - landed property deeds and survey docs - Instagram business page screenshot |

acgodson20: Hi Please
Suddenly the reason for the refusal is that company is not found on CAC, and I have no rights to appeal. it even stated that they considered interviews from applicant and sponsor, but non of that happened
Please any idea what we need to do next?
(modified): I have also confirmed that CAC's website is on maintenance mode and searches are now failing VISA ALERT! 1st Application: Dec 2nd 2024 Biometrics: Dec 11th 2024 Refusal Mail: Dec 28th 2024 Collection Mail: Jan 2nd 2025 Courier Delivery: Jan 5th 2025 2nd Application/re-application: Jan 6th 2025 Biometrics: Jan 8th 2025 (priority) Collection mail: Jan 14th 2025 In-person pickup: Jan 15th 2025 6 months visit visa, valid from 12th Jan.

Hi guys,
2days now, there has been no collection mail for us, and the VFS tracker hasn't moved from the first position. I'm considering reapplying on priority, because waiting for the formal complaint may take longer time beyond the graduation
pls, who has received their passport back from VFS (especially after refusal)? how long did it take? |

Jolene474: After dragging them that they made error in my decision, they went back to look for minor deposits in my banks and put that as reason, this people are tortoise 😂 Yikes, sorry. Pls, can you give me a timeline and procedure for your 'dragging...' 1. Which channel did you submit your complaint through (email, online, paid mail?) and 2. How long did it take to get a response on reconsideration 3. How long before this current refusal letter I'm considering if I should do a fresh application because of the timeline that come with appeals |

Akintomide454: Get an agent decision might be overturned or do a paid mail or reapply and figure out those grounds on which she was being denied mostly on her ties with her home country Nigeria and your CAC registration or dues( Renew it) Thanks, I want to send a paid mail firstly the CAC is current. It's just their website that is on maintenance (according to the homepage) The business was registered 13 years ago, and annual returns up to 2023 I also submitted a verified Instagram page with timestamped posts from this Dec to as far as 5 years ago It just seems unfair ngl |

Hi Please
How do we go about this, inviting my mum for my graduation this January? Bio was Dec 10th
We submitted
1. CAC document for registration of, "business name" registered since 2011. The company name has always been active on CAC (I don't even know how the ECO concluded on that), and I even submitted a certificate of annual returns dated on October 2024 for year of October 2023. And also a bank reference later showing business account has existed for 5 years, and my personal statement
Suddenly the reason for the refusal is that company is not found on CAC, and I have no rights to appeal. it even stated that they considered interviews from applicant and sponsor, but non of that happened
Please any idea what we need to do next?

Karlifate: Maybe: -it came to him as a shock; -you didn't meet up to the standard he has placed you in his mind; -he's sorting out a personal issue u didn't know about; -he's found someone that fancies him more than you do; and -he has EGO problems. Most of the times it's about sorting out personal issues. Not every relationship is affordable |

20 million can hardly earn you a student visa at the US embassy when all miscellaneous cost + tuition is calculated. Plus they'd go over 6 months of your bank statement to be sure you have a steady flow of income, and not block money or inconsistent flows... P.S No travelling agent can guarantee you a USA student's visa
My advise, choose another country. Or build a start up in Nigeria with a quarter of that money |
