I just got correspondence letter and am really worried. I can't even tell my husband because he will be sad but I am not giving up on anything and still believe a miracle. I B.tech in Quantity Surveying and MSC in construction management or I applied for Global management diploma certificate. Family ties are my 4kids n hubby. Personal account 3.5m though it was paid in twice. Am into businesses so don't hv an office job. Hubby is my sponsor with opening balance 65m closing 61m. We co own the company. What do you think is wrong with my application?

Hi nairalanders, hope our day aint stressful, so I have another update on my application.

I got 3 ghost mails yesterday. so I went down for passport collection. I have picked them up.
Things to note, @Angie32, it was London that processed the application however it was stamped in Lagos.

*How do I know this, London is boldly written as place of issue.
*Secondly, why I feel it was stamped in Lagos is because, Vfs sent mails saying passport was sent from the VAC to Lag office, and when it was stamped they sent it back to the VAC.
*Then the visa start date is the day your review of eligibility ends and the visa spans till a day to passport expiry.
*submitted passports Nov 6, picked up on the 13th.. which is 8days rightly, or 5 working days cos Saturday and Sunday is weekend and Monday public holiday.
*So in total this online application took 57days.

Hope this helps us all, especially online applications.

obilec:
Thank you. Do you know of any factors that may hinder success of such an application?

Ozzz:
@Angie32

howfar with your application, when did you apply and how many days gone? have they started reviewing your eligibility ?

What was the feedback from the case you raised?

ty01:
None yet. I will inform you once there’s an update.

obilec:
I submitted all required documents. I never got an official notification for eligibility review but I always saw “review in progress” whenever I logged in. Got my bvl today, four minutes before the refusal. I did biometrics in 2017. Submitted 19th September. I’ Been to Dubai and some other African countries so i wonder why travel history was given as a reason?

obilec:
Application refused today on account of family ties in canada and travel history. I was told i don't meet eligibility requirements, what does that mean?

Nickoko:
I got a final decision on my application today. Unfortunately, the visa was refused on the ground of PURPOSE OF VISIT.

What are you opinion? Should I apply again immediately or wait?. I earlier purpose of visit was vacation/tourism.

Nickoko:
I submitted my visit visa application on the 22nd September

Biometric attended on the 6th Oct
Biometric confirmed on the 7th Oct
Biometric corresponding letter 7th Nov

What are the chances for approval ?

Awaiting for Final decision......
It seems to be taking so loooooong.. Heart beating faster now

Ozzz:
Thanks Angie,
First of all, I personally noticed from this forum that updates on the dashboard in relation to the milestone the VO have gotten to, isn't consistent.

That being said, in my case, I checked on oct 30th, nothing changed, but on oct 31st, the write up under review of eligibility changed without any update... this is why I felt it started that day...

But another angle to it is from Oct 31st to 4th Nov, looks short to process the application "i guess", so maybe eligibility started when I had a ghost update on my mail on oct 17th, but it didn't reflect on the dashboard...

Anything is possible

favoredgal:
Hi guys,

how do you know if eligibility has started.

Pls see screenshot. i submitted 93 days ago.

Angie32:
Oh wow! Do you know your friends purpose of visit?

jj17cv:
@Angie32
eligibility started with a friend of mine submission October 12 without any update mail he just notice

Ozzz:
My fellow Nairalanders, good morning!

Family application visiting visa approved( I hope it means we were granted visa)

Day 49

Visa Office unknown !!! (maybe London, yet to confirm)

Online application

Application submission - Sept 17th
Biomeric collection letter - Sept 19th
Biometric done & Completed - Sept 23rd
Ghost update - Oct 17th ( since no update, thanking for my patience.)
Eligibility started - Oct 31st
BVL or Correspondence letter- Nov 04 (ghost update)
Original Passport Req. letter- Nov 04 (ghost update)


My people, our flight ticket, booking ticket including my brothers grad. have all elapsed during the processing time So obviously morale was low. I decided I wasn't even going to write them (IRCC) or complain to them, anything that happens, let it happen, but somehow i was just positive.
I was surprised to see double ghost updates yesterday evening. Infact I still dey fear cos.. my online cic account still showing processing for eligibility and background checks, but for final decision, showing approved.

Elders please is this Goodnews?

Secondly, how much am I to pay to submit 3 passports ?

Can I, the authorised representative of the application submit and collect passports on behalf of my parents ?

what's the duration of time to get back passports ?

Angie32:
..

geotherm:
Unfortunately my sister was denied based on travel history and purpose of visit. Is coming to see her brother who she has not seen for more than 4 years not enough reason. And why travel history? Yes she has not traveled to any other country and so. Does everyone not have first time of travel. It made totally no sense to me.
