So there's no need to include WAEC certificate in Visa application abi

profpius01:
No all schools use WAEC as their English test, some use your BSC Certificate to access your English

No WAEC certificate?

charles12745:
1. Proof of funds statement
2. CAS statement
3. IHS reference statement
4. VISA checklist
5. Int'l Passport ( Scanned all pages including all blank pages)
6. TB Test
7. Cover Letter
8. Employment Letter
9. Employment Reference
10. CV
11. School Certificate and transcript
12. Unconditional offer from UK uni

U can only do that if u are considering different countries... Doing 2 deposits in d same country is like putting all eggs in one basket

Fred2020:
The point is not everyone puts their eggs in one basket even that at that level, many are looking at multiple migration pathways, not unsual. & the schools know this also.

U are talking about EU,,we are talking UK

Fred2020:
Trust me, not everyone that pays deposit follows through. I have paid deposit to a Uni in the EU and forfeited it because something I considered better eventually came through.

Book Lagos na

Yoyoky:
Urgent help... I'm not seeing biometrics appointment slots at Port Harcourt, Enugu or Benin. What can I do please help

Can u get CAS without paying deposit? So d person will pay deposit at 2 schools and be watching what,,I don't understand

Fred2020:
Sounds to me like they probably have more applicants than available places on some programmes and are trying to whittle down applicants who may not be fully committed or who don't see the university as their first choice.

If you've been issued a CAS but didn't submit your visa application shortly afterwards, the university could interpret that as a sign that you're keeping the offer as a backup and may not actually intend to enrol.

It could also suggest that, despite indicating you meet the requirements, you're not yet in a position to make a successful visa application which could affect their sponsorship licence.

I guess the purpose of the interview is to give applicants an opportunity to explain the reason for the delay in applying.

Add 200k to ur balance and retry.... Better still go to ur bank

Jaypey21:
Hi all,

I have been trying to pay for my ihs fee and it’s not working. I have tried to use a uk card and Nigeria card I keep getting unsuccessful. There’s enough money in the account
Please any idea why this is happening

Can ur visa application still continue with a fast administrative review?

Charlex23:
My CAS clearly stated my scholarship of £3,000 and tuition deposit of £4,000. This was a mistake from the visa officer. I don’t know what he/she was thinking

Ur CAS did not state ur scholarship,,u should have asked for an updated CAS showing ur scholarship b4 visa application,,, that was a costly mistake,, very sorry about that

Charlex23:
I haven't been in the best of moods since last night as I got a refusal mail for my Student Visa, from UKVI yesterday, Even though I have accepted my fate and trying to move on, I still feel cheated by UKVI.

I applied in December for January intake but I had to withdraw my visa application in February due to approaching Cas deadline. And now I deferred to September intake

Biometrics - 23rd June
Refusal mail- 2nd of July
Reason for refusal: incorrect bank statement calculation. So the visa officer didn't deduct my global scholarship of £3,000 from my POF, he only removed my tuition deposit and my required funds was below the minimum due to that error. I already applied for an administrative review today and l'd keep you guys updated .

We are saying the same thing.... U and I know what is done to prove source of funds,,but for it to be spelled out in public is what I'm talking about.... D guy should enter DM and get d information he needs,,not here...HE SHOULD NOT COME TO MY DM OOO...ABEG

justwise:
What is sensitive about this question? Your reply gave your intention away.

You think UKIV doesn’t know about this? Why do you think that they asking a lot more people about source of funds?

U want a sensitive information like that in public,,, what if UKVI finds this comment here on Naira land? They will ban Nigerians from coming.... Abeg nobody should drop such information here.... Go to DMs and discuss there

sogba1145:
What evidence did you provided to the UkVI for the source fund please

All this Ports mouth and Plymouth wahala...it could be one of d reasons ur decision is taking too long.... U should have even changed sch sef.... U guys didn't do Pre CAS interview before?

Bigbabyy0:
Who has done the new Portsmouth scheduled interview?

These information should not be dropped in d public.... U guys are d ones that will cast d system for others las las...
U want sensitive information,, private chat urselves.....haba.....U can delete ur comment,, thank u

profpius:
I've been following your thread since December last year, how your sister was asked source of funds as additional documents, and now you're asked that too
Pls what evidence did you and your sister use for source of funds, I mean what document did you submit, you said your sis submitted land sale in her name, how about you, was it also the same thing
Lastly what questions were you asked during the interview since you said they later asked for additional documents of your source of funds after the interview
I'm really rooting for you, cos I was just reading from that January thread and I was devastated by how they treated you, asking you for additional documents 10th week, literally days before your final enrolment
I'll be glad if you could provide all these answers please

If ur sch demanded online WAEC,, provide online WAEC to UKVI with pin... Do exactly whats on ur CAS

nwaogukings03:
Please does UKVI demand for IELTS result if school gave admission based on WAEC result which the validity period will expire before visa is granted?

Declare it to UKVI

Becs9893:
Hello everyone. i applied to a UK school but i did not declare that i had a prior visa refusal from the US because the school does not give admission to people that declare previous refusal and i have paid tuition deposit. should i maintain it during my visa application or should i declare it? will my visa be denied if i declare?

.

Print out the sharecode sent to UKVI account... Everyone uses an eVisa now,,, that's how it's done

kksamm:
Hello everyone,

Please, is the physical UK visitor visa sticker on the passport sufficient to fly directly from Lagos to London, or a UKVI account needs to be created and visa stickers linked on the system? Has anyone most recently traveled to London from Lagos with the UK visa sticker on their passport? I will greatly appreciate your guidance .

U should have 3 million and Ur husband as d sponsor should have at least 10million in his account.. u will include his bank statement to ur application

wifey1:
Good morning, pls I want to apply for UK visa,it won't be my first but I haven't applied for one in over 10years,my recent travel history is to the US and I have a valid 5yrs visa which I got last year. My husband would be my sponsor and I would stay with any of my sibling while there. My issue is my bank statement, my monthly earning is about 250 -300k which I get paid from our family business. I receive 500k monthly from my husband to run the home.My questions are; how many months bank statement do I need to submit and would the amount in my account matter since my husband is sponsoring me, if yes, pls like how much should I have? We have 3 kids but I would be going alone. I realise most refusals are due to finance and that has been d discouraging factor since but I want to give it a try. Thanks in advance for your reply🙏

Dr calm down... U will get ur visa soon

Bigbabyy0:
So no one applied through priority and is still waiting after interview and extra documentation

Yes,,they can withdraw the CAS if u don't do d interview.... Schools are tightening CAS issuance... D interview is not difficult... Try and get answers to key questions like
Y u chose d UK

Y u chose ur university

Did u consider other schs and what do they have that could be better

How will u decide on getting an accomodation

Do u consider it proper to meet with people while schooling

Y this course

Do know d hours to work as a student


Have u be refused visa b4

What's ur future plan

What did you achieve in sch in d past

Midoskibal:
Hello, So a friend of mine after getting cas got a mail from the University for credibility check, lol, she was happy she didn't do interview before getting CAS, only for her to get a mail for interview after Cas has been issued. Is it a normal thing? And should she be scared?

I think d problem u have is convincing them of ur return back to Nigeria... Home ties stuff... Cuz they know u surely using it as japa route

Bigbabyy0:
lol I’m a doctor and going for my specialization course under medicine too 😂… God will pull through

Hmmm.... It is well

Bigbabyy0:
lol I’m a doctor and going for my specialization course under medicine too 😂… God will pull through

Na WA ooo

Tribet:
It's a general problem nah only few people dey escape am I don't think this has anything to do with course change/ direction

Are u changing from engineering to nursing,,bkos I don't understand d stubborness from dem

Bigbabyy0:
I go try

Y not go for January instead....

skoles001:
I need guidance here please, i wish to relocate to the UK with a family of 3 (myself, my wife and 4-month old baby) through study route. Can i still apply for September intake? My wife is the main applicant.

Apart from doing priority, what other measure did u take to get a faster visa decision.... Did u include a cover letter to explain anything

Sunshinelikeme:
Congratulations to your brother.
I’m also here for my sister.

She couldn’t meet up with January due to delay in visa processing.
Did biometrics priority service 9th of June, got SLA not met email and unable to process within the published time email the following day.

We are truly hoping on God like this.

Congratulations 🎉.... Was it standard or priority?

kevweflex:
Thank God for a successful visa application for a sibling after weeks of waiting and twice contacing UKVI via their paid enquiry service. Biometrics and visa application at the vfs was done on 5/5/2026, and since then the wait, with no updates whatsoever except for the automated message about not able to make a visa decision within the normal processing time

Keep your hopes alive and stay positive. If visa decision is outside normal processing times, contact UKVI via their paid enquiry service with a strong convincing message about your case. It costs only £2.74.

I wish everyone still awaiting a decision a successful one. For those yet to apply, always know that honesty is the best policy, be honest all the way, if any issues, just explain with a cover letter (with a good prompt on any ai, ai can help draft it for you). You will always remember the truth, but a lie will elude you with time.

Shalom ✌️

D main thing is to leave d POF till visa is out...d only challenge is how long b4 ur CAS comes out

dettolgel:
Sorry if it has been answered before, probably buried under several posts. Thank you for your response.

We have answered this many times here,,d same 28days POF for CAS can immediately be used for visa application as soon as CAS is available... While waiting for CAS be preparing ur all documents needed for d visa application... Where explainations are needed,, provide cover letters

dettolgel:
Anyone has idea on the 28 working days pof for CAS, I thought once you paid tuition fee, your CAS will be issued.

The implication is with visa application I will need pof for almost 2 months plus taken into account 28 workings before issuance of CAS and then around 3 weeks for visa application? Anyone has experience with this?

U should have added cover letters to explain ur application... Anyways it is well,,wish u a successful decision this time

Bigbabyy0:
Hmm
My dear there’s nothing you can do to avoid delay… apply for priority and hope on God
