Tr it at midnight or do a walk in

Kingacewade:
Hello everyone. Please I am finding it difficult to get a date for my UK student Visa Biometrics in Ikeja, Lagos.
Please what do I do? There are no dates available at the moment. My agent said I should keep checking the website till the date appears. I have been checking for days now. Is there a particular day or time the dates appear?
Do I visit the center in person and make enquires ? Do they still operate a Walk in service? If so what's the process?
Kindly share your experience if you have used the Ikeja center before. Thank you all..

please go through the closed part 7 it will help you a lot on which document will make you to avoid NSF mail

QuantAnalyst:
Hello house,

For self service appointment, what document should we take to the tls appointment? We have uploaded pretty much every necessary documents online.

I stand to be corrected, i believe work reference is different from academic reference. You will need to get the academic reference from your school and also from your department.

OPRI:
Good Day Everyone.
Please I would like to enquire if one can get a work reference instead of an academic reference considering I've been out of school for quite a while and cant find anyone from my school to refer me?Or can I equally get an academic reference from a lecturer different from the school I attended?

Hello,

You should be able to meet up with the start date
. If you have a study gap of more than 5years you will need to upload an introdutory letter from your employer, go through the closed part 7 it will help you alot.

divinebarz:
Hello house, pls my school starts September 26 but I will apply by August 18 because that's when my POF will mature. Any idea if I would still meet up with the program start date? Another question is do I need to upload my employment letter when applying although my school only said we should upload only what is stated in the CAS and it's only my academic documents. Meanwhile I have a 10 year gap after youth service but I have been working. I await your kind response.

Has she escalated it ?

ilovelearning:


Oh wow,. Congratulations.

When did you receive collection mail, was it after escalation you got it?

A friend still awaiting hers (bio June 29th VI)

������ congratulations

June232022:

Amen

dejaylapel08:

Oh boy! 7 week go far o.... Congratulations!
I pray my wife receive collection mail on Monday too. Amen in Jesus name ��

Yes,they can walk in with you . Please print out their own appointment date form because they will still request for it .
I believe walk in is 42k per person and also have extra change with you
If your appointment is 9:30am be there by 9 or 9:15am because you wont be allowed in until it is 9:30am

payne4real:
Please, my biometric day is next week Monday 9:30am at ikeja TLS. Can my dependants walk in with me? If yes, are they going to pay for walking in with me? If yes how much? I have 3 dependants.
What's the best time to arrive the location?
What do we need to come in with?

Thank you

She should just be truthful because some school send the pre-cas interview video to the embassy. Unless if she is not using her salary bank account as proof of fund

Elolam87:
Her salary is not much Sha? Is it safe to state the exact amount?

Congratulations !!!! I am so happy for you.

Please go through the school website, you might see tutorial video on pre-cas interviews that will help you alot
They might ask about your income either annual or monthly
If you are married,try to know estimated income of your spouse

If ask about property and you have please declare it is an added advantage.

Above all BE CONFIDENT, dont let them itimidate you.

Elolam87:
Thanks so much, really insightful.

Answer to number 1 : YES

Answer to number 2: nothing to be worried about.when did you do the biometrics ?

ZiggyMr:
@Duchess,
1. When ukvi send NSF mail, do they send it to email address on Visa application?

2. Paid mail done says decision made on MA application but 2 dependants are still awaiting decision. Does this call for concern?

Tension dey high o

Congratulations
I also pray that my husband will receive his collection mail before the end of today Amen

Phebeana:



I also did my application on the 15th of July ikeja tls, i sent a paid mail one week after,it was awaiting decision then sent another one on the 26th decision made for MA and 2 dependants.

So you should too. I think is about time.

Guess is in Gods hands now.

NO

Chiamaka206:
What are you escalating? Am I supposed to escalate too?

Have you notified your school and when is the school resuming?

emeritus007:

Last week Wednesday

When did you escalate?

emeritus007:

Be hopeful. The good news will come soon.
I sent a follow up mail this evening and I got response to wait until 15 working days has passed after escalation.

What is the interview for please?

Chiamaka206:
Is visa interview compulsory? I thought they already did interview online?

Chiamaka206:
What next after admission notification? Just brief me please . Is interview compulsory?

it depends on the school, ask from the school to know what next. No need for interview for student visa

Have you received collection mail yet?

My hubby and i did bio on the 1st july, he received nsf mail on the 20th july to proof relationship which we did immediately. I received collection mail on the 28th july but we are still expecting his mail. We send paid mail on the 1st august and we received this below response.infact i am drained.

emeritus007:

Not yet. Still waiting but highly tempted to bombard them wait mails. I'm loosing my cool

Have you received collection mail yet ?

emeritus007:

Sleep o... Please sleep but send a paid mail 3weeks after biometrics.... This is over 6weeks for me. Provided you didn't forge any document or submitted wrong documents... sleep
