Did you get any mail earlier or during the week before the successful mail

Chima043:

Oh okay

cashmyles:
No, I'm waiting for visa. Did biometrics on Nov 25th

Pls have you get any email from Ukvi whatsoever since your biometrics??

xzeal10:
I got same email as well:

Thank you for applying for a UK visa. Your visa application has been received and is under consideration. We aim to process non settlement applications within 15 working days (unless you have opted for the Priority Visa service, if available), and settlement applications within 120 working days. Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward and we will be unable to decide your application within our customer service targets. We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make a decision as soon as possible. We will write to you again if there is any change to this. Please do not attend the Visa Application Centre until you have been advised that your application has been decided and that your passport is ready for collection. Kind Regards, UK Decision Making Centre

Pearlcom:
Please what is NSF mail? I did biometrics yesterday and I go a mail today that "processing of my application is not straightforward and we will be unable to decide my application within customer service targets." Etc
Is this the NSF mail? What could be the cause of this?

bukit05:
Oh okay. Yes. They didn’t even do anything with the document check list, when I showed it to them, they just said it’s for me, I should take it with me.

Did your checklist only shows your statement and passport too ?

bukit05:
Oh okay. Yes. They didn’t even do anything with the document check list, when I showed it to them, they just said it’s for me, I should take it with me.

Okay I was scared
I thought the checklist will include all the academic qualifications i want to upload

bukit05:
I don’t understand this question.

My documents check list is only showing statement of Account and my international passport
Is it meant to be this way ?

bukit05:
No question, just print your appointment Email and take your passport with you. You don’t need cover shoe, what they want to capture is your face.

Okay thank you

Good evening everyone

Haaa

Omo e don Dey resemble extortion ooo🤦‍♂️

Pearlcom:
Yes o,I paid last night. IHS £1552. VISA £505 ($641). THAT 18 months is not easy to pay for.. but I heard we will have about 4 months to do full time job between April and September that there is going to be a long break to do 40hours and make more money before Sept resumption.

Pls after you paid ..did you get closer date for biometrics

BigshotAsola5:
It's true though. Reference is subject to change.
However, evidence that is stated in your CAS should be what u should use for ur visa application to avoid panic.
If you are submitting a CV for ur application, u need a reference from ur current place of work too and every work place stated in your CV.
Meanwhile, since u can't find ur old reference letter u submitted to school, u can go get another one at ur old place of work but this time should be addressed to the ukvi.
It is preferable to get new references addressed to the ukvi for ur visa application from the same place u got the ones u submitted to school.
Hope this is professional enough. Funny you.

Alright thanks
I hope I’ll be able to get it

When filling visa applications form
Home ownership…
Is it good to say parents house or rented apartment
Urgent answers pls??

Alabidele45:
Hello pls I’m here again for clarification
On my CAS the school stated the evidence I used to obtain offer which is my transcripts and my work reference i submitted to them then but i no longer have the reference I submitted to the school then,should I just get a new reference from my place I work currently ,will the embassy accept this and not ask for the one my CAS or go back to my old place i worked to see if i can be able to get another work reference
Pls somebody with this experience should advise me
on this

Someone with similar experience should respond oo

Because I heard that sometimes not all documents stated on CAS are meant to be unless your academic qualifications
Pls I need a professional advice on this

Chima043:
If you can get it from your old place of work good but you suppose have the old copy which you used for admission now

I applied since January
It was a deferred admission
So probably on my old phone

bukit05:
I don’t think it will affect you in my own opinion. You didn’t do anything wrong neither did your dad.

Alright

bukit05:
It’s not compulsory you declare, since you said you don’t bear the same surname.

Okay but won’t they find out with my dad’s name I’ll be putting in my application
Or they can’t with his name

cashmyles:
I think so. Don't know why it's taking em like forever

But they just started working on the 19th
So maybe those that applied before then got theirs from TLS🤔
