U can still work as a full-time student,, only that u will be limited to only 20 hours

Veyy:
What about courses like PGdip and PGcert, for full time study.
Any idea if one can get a study visa for these programs?

See how life is not balanced,, Nigeria with 4 players couldn't win d Afcon

Visa Alert

Thank you Jesus!!

Biometrics: 14th January 2026
Visa Processing Email: 19th January 2026
Visa Email: 20th January 2026 17:43pm Nigerian time

I was denied for incorrect bank statement calculation on September 13th 2025 and I never got the refusal email till October 13th 2025. But the refusal letter was dated September 13th. My biometrics then was on August 20th 2025. It was a frustrating 2 months wait after various paid calls, emails and everything only to be handed a refusal in October.

Reached out to school, got another CAS and thank God just received my visa. For all waiting, it will come in Jesus Name

My broda this ur case is almost similar to mine.... I did biometrics on the 16th of December,,I got no response till I did a paid email on d 6th of January and they said awaiting decision,,d next day I got SLA message,,on d 16th January I did paid call,, they said my application got to Dem on d 22nd of December and that I should count 21 working days from Dec 22nd to get a decision... There's no pattern or formula to get a decision as it is,,, just be praying

Reeeeee:
23rd Dec

Wen was ur biometrics?

Reeeeee:
I got SLA mail on Thursday, 15th January , was able to escalate yesterday and then I got this mail

Has any one who escalated gotten similar ?

Well,,it depends on the airport too,,,not every airport does that... Maybe d person was asked at Heathrow airport,,find out

Majorz:
Yes o

At d airport?

Majorz:
Guys...this POF at point of entry seems like a reality .

Someone was asked to show his balance after arriving UK yesterday

They actually don't have a formula to predict them... Just be praying for ur visa dazzol ooo

codegirl:
so this SLA is an automated email you get on your 12th working day .. nothing serious.. visa might still drop this evening!! Thank God !!

Someone got visa in 5 Days after SLA

codegirl:
please who got this
How long after
Before they got visa

Ok,, don't mind d automated mail u got this morning

krumking:
I did paid call yesterday. They said awaiting decision

Reply Dem with gwf number and even do a paid call

krumking:
These people re just playing with me

Abeg ooo.... Visa testimonies pls 🙏

I was surprised to see that story on telegram... Weda it's true or not it's left to d person!!!

gymlordd:
Lol! I'm in the UK and i have met and interacted with over 50 people that moved via study route from Nigeria. None had such encounter. Una go just dey cook up stories to scare people.

It's too close ooo

padua1234:
30th December o

Wen was biometrics?

padua1234:
Me that is just getting the email today should do what please?

Finally I found someone that got visa after receiving that SLA message...

Friday 28th November biometrics
Friday 19th December SLA message
Friday 16th January visa...

Let's be patient,, hopefull and prayerful 🙏

Someone's story on telegram visa group


"""""Traveling today and I can confirm to
You

UKVI is truly at Lagos airport

I was just f'g interviewed for about 30min

Had to login to my account and account history

Questions asked;

My school
Accommodations arrangement
Pof

Na pof fund time fight reach , showed him Acc balance , say make I show history , say Nigeria Dey always borrow money from bank and return and then in turn want to claim asylum in there country"""""

gymlordd:
False. Nothing like that!

But they could ask u from Nigerian airport...I've heard that UKVI has a representative at MMA Lagos,,that can sometimes quiz students,, although it's rare

Giftedmilli:
Gòod day, everyone. Please, do they asked proof of funds at point of entry? I will appreciate with a response. Thanks!

Mancity that decided to pipe a lowly Exeter team almost 10-0,,,u call that a team """isn't good""" Its d mercilessness 4 me though.... After doing that manU shamed them wholefully... Y was manU 3 goals disallowed sef

andrewbaba44:
Arsenal isn’t bottling anything

Man city isn’t that good

Load up to 15k airtime and call them...They will tell u wen ur application got to their desk and how many days left to get a decision b4 u can escalate.... Was ur application priority and wen is ur school latest deadline?

Hannahspeck:
Good day all . please my school is resuming on the 26th of January. N d only mail I have gotten from ukvi so far is d SLA mail on the 13th of january.so I intend making a call to them by Tuesday what do u guys think ?

Jamb question 😂.... But seriously wen i got that mail I was wondering Y asking me for survey wen I have not seen ur service completed... Possibly visa is ready but some delay in d email

beekaf:
Why is ukvi sending Survey mail when visa has not been issued.

The same IT team that will send d email are d same pipo that will register ur details into their system... So don't be faster than them

Jooooooo:
So what if someone decides to open a ukvi account and try to check for e visa even when a decision mail has not been sent

Tribet:
Everybody speculating I don't think ukvi will send sla email after refusal

Someone responds by saying;;;


"""The first one could be true cause someone got visa mail on 16th January but the date was 19th December

Meanwhile all paid mails he sent , response was awaiting decision
I don’t know what took them so long so send the mail if visa was granted on 19th December,2025"""

Can anyone who got late visa confirm the below statement to be true;




"""For those awaiting decisions let me say a bit possible scenarios in the ukvi backend that could finally happen.

.... they might have issued you visa but they have not emailed you about it.

....they might have issued you refusal as far back as December or above but they have not sent you the decision letter you will still receive.

.... they may invite you for interview before making decisions

.... they may request additional documents"""


Someone responds:


"""The first one could be true cause someone got visa mail 16th January but the date was 19th December

Meanwhile all paid mails he sent , response was awaiting decision
I don’t know what took them so long so send the mail if visa was granted on 19th December,2025"""

Until u make a paid call,,u won't realize they really don't care...

Jadue:
Honestly they should attend to people more quickly , a lot of students are anxious . People who applied for Dependant visa how long did it take you to get visa.
But from my experience anything student visa it is better you pay for priority.

The way Chelsea is going now,, someone will need to have another club to hold body... At least Arsenal is there now,,,but I can never ever support ManU or Mancity... Chelsea -Arsenal and Liverpool will be my preference going forward
