They are running a scam not institutions

Quite sad

abuhusna1:
Jist ask for refund and send them your refusal letter. They will refund tou as long as you did not use fake document or deception. Forget that credibilty you are talking about. That is a discretion of the visa officer not to grant you the visa not your own fault. Pls dont he too late to ask for refund even if you want to reapply get your money back first and they dedcut admin charges

They only refunded £6400 and stated that £4000 is non-refundable as it is stated on their website 😢

I have been following silently, but I finally feel the need to share my experience because I am truly devastated and unsure of what to do next.

I applied for a UK Student visa and completed my biometrics on 21 August. On 11 September, I received a request to provide additional documents covering what I had been doing from 2019 to 2026. I worked hard to gather the required documents and submitted them three days later.

Interestingly, I received an email on 5 September inviting me for a visa interview on 6 September. I attended the interview as requested, hoping for a positive outcome. Unfortunately, yesterday, I received the heartbreaking news that my visa application had been refused.

The reasons given were that my explanation for choosing my programme was too generic, that my reasons for choosing the UK were insufficient, and that I had not demonstrated adequate research into other countries before deciding to study in the UK.

I have been devastated since receiving the decision. I keep wondering whether I have any realistic chance of succeeding with an Administrative Review or whether I should begin considering other options.

What makes the situation even more painful is the financial commitment I have made to the University of Hull. I paid a total of £10,400 towards my tuition fees, comprising a £10,000 deposit and an additional £400. While reading the university's tuition deposit refund policy, I came across a provision stating that applicants whose visas are refused on credibility grounds following an interview may not be eligible for a refund unless the refusal is overturned through a successful Administrative Review.

The thought of losing such a significant amount of money is frightening. It is money I invested in my future, and I do not know whether there is any way I can recover it. I have also been informed that the university does not defer admission in cases of visa refusal, which has left me feeling even more helpless.

Beyond my studies and the financial loss, this situation is especially difficult because my spouse is currently in the UK pursuing a master's degree in social work and is expected to complete the program next year July. I had hoped that my own studies would bring me closer to my spouse and allow us to move forward with our plans together.

Right now, I feel overwhelmed, disappointed and uncertain about the future. I do not know whether to pursue an Administrative Review, appeal to the university regarding my tuition deposit, or explore other immigration options.

I would sincerely appreciate advice from anyone who has experienced a similar situation or has a good understanding of UK Student visa refusals, Administrative Reviews and university tuition deposit refunds.

Has anyone successfully overturned a refusal based on credibility concerns following a visa interview? Has anyone in a similar situation managed to recover their tuition deposit from the University of Hull?

I am trying to remain hopeful, but this experience has taken a serious emotional and financial toll on me. Any genuine advice, guidance or shared experience would mean a lot to me at this point.

Hello fam! Where it says passport pages of your passport, should I upload only the passport data page or all the pages in my passport including passport data page ?

Hello fam! Any idea if I should upload the document checklist under the “Proof of application” @VFS portal ?

Hello fam! Just a quick question. I printed my bank statement on the 7th of August (last week Thur) and I submitted my application yesterday being the 9th of August (Saturday). However, my biometrics is on the 15th of August being Friday. Should I print another bank statement because of gap from 7th Aug that it was printed to 15th August i.e biometric date?

You do not know the extent of information required of the board. Everyone who practices for 2 years or more is likely to have additional documents with the board other than basic entry level initial licensing requirements. Continuing education credit, additional certifications etc which are not domicile with that individual’s educational institution but the board.
During verification, total disclosure is expected. All these documents must be gathered and forwarded to the foreign body.
It’s not just attestation as you would assume. It takes a lot of man hours to put all these formation together. And someone has to pay for this additional work load.
Believe me, if before now they were process about 10 monthly, the Japa effect has made that figure times 100. Let’s be fair, they do not have unlimited resources to carter for this increase.

Let me start by saying that processing the verification isn’t free. I did verification 2 years ago, it was almost 70k. Then dollar was 540. Registration with WCEA is $150 just for the certificates. Then additional 40k naira for processing and forwarding the renewed licence. Council rakes in tonnes of money, but all they do is instead of advocating for nurses they victimize them. I’m privy of the verification steps so when you say gathering of all the documents, do you realize that they have gone digital, through their portal. You can now verify, register, request for any information. All they have to do is pull up your data from their system and answer the questionnaire online and email back the form to the foreign council. Well nobody wants to do the job that they are paid for once there is no kick back. Finally, their stringent policy has nothing to do with man power rather they want to stop the emigration of nurses.

sonnie10:
Not just email. They still need to obtain official transcript from the schools and the school will still charge money for that. Sometime, they have to physically obtain these transcripts. Pay transportation to any part of the country where the school is domiciled

That’s not how it work. The foreign council is asking them to verify that you are whom you claim are eg if you are registered in your home country to avoid fake certificates, any malpractice, conviction etc. The NMCN here in Nigeria administers those exams so they have your records before issuing of pin. Furthermore, you are responsible for submitting your transcript via your school at a stage in your registration and it has nothing to do with NMCN. The verification process is more like attestation. Get your facts right!

sonnie10:
I don't see anything wrong with the new verification.
Where do they expect the board to get the resources to handle the immense number of verification request these days due to the Japa syndrome?
All the paper work and documentation involved in verification take up a lot of time that could be used for other official business tasks.

Resources? Do you know how much they charge for these verifications ? Not like they have to send physical copies. They only send them through emails. The amount they charge for verification is more than what other nursing bodies in other countries charge, but that’s a topic for another day.

chemicalmyt:
Hi,

The one you have has not expired and can be used. Its only better if you have a recent if its possible.

The rule is :
1. You MUST have kept your Maintenance fund in your account for 28 days prior to submitting your Visa Application.
2. The period between the 28th day of your Statement and the date of Visa Application MUST NOT be more than 31 days also.

Al the best!

Thanks a lot!

chemicalmyt:
Hi,

Any other one closer to your Biometric is better though let it start from the 9th of june which you used for CAS in this context.

All the best!

What if am not able to get an updated one due to time constraint. Can I still go ahead with the one I have with me now? Or is it expired?

Good day house! I have a quick question. My statement of account is from 09/06/2023 to 13/07/2023. That’s the statement of account I submitted to school and got my CAS. My biometric is on the 4th of August. Can I still upload the same statement of account or should I print another one with a closing date of yesterday?

Mattmich:
This application is not complete. You've got no date for biometric.
Kindly complete it.
If you're confused about everything,I can assist you because I am on holiday.
Best regards

He has a date, but I think TLS is still down, cos there is no option for self upload

mcwally:
It may be from their site because I'm having the same issue here no date is displaying since morning as you screenshot

I pray so, cos it’s frustrating. Any other person having same issue today ?

mescanayo:
From my experience with that, those dates you are selecting are no longer available but it will still be showing on the dashboard.

I think after trying 3 times with the otp issue. Tls puts a hold on your account and the only solution is to do walk in. Any idea ?

Towotowo:
I think you should close your browser, go back to your application sign in link and click provide biometrics again. since you are not going for PS click ok to the next and pick the day you want

I did that and it’s still not working. It’s not even showing any date at all.

awesinic:

Hello

Clear browser and repeat process

TLS won't block your account

Cheers

I have cleared browser couple of times and tried it again. I can’t still see dates nor proceed to checkout. I sent you a message.

Please I need help house! I was on tls site, selected priority, express courier and prime time for my appointment date. Went to checkout, paid for the priority service, I put the address for courier, got to payment for tls value added services. My bank didn’t send me the code on time and I pressed cancel. It brought me back to book appointment and I can’t pass the stage anymore. Can’t even see appointment dates, the dashboard says no appointment date selected. How do I go about this, don’t know if tls blocked my account

Hello fam! Just a quick question. I printed my POF from 9/June to 12/July (34days) can I use it for my application even tho it’s more than 28days?

Omoawoke:


Just stay in Enugu, Anambra and other sit at homes states

Stay out of Lagos
Tell your chinedus to stay clear of Lagos

Dear naira landers, you will see them carrying chinedu on their head, majority of them are from sit at home and unknown gunmen and Lagos na their problem , they won’t save themselves first before coming to liberate Lagos. They will soon start quoting me with anger.
If you doubt me, just check the people carrying GRV for head, check their history, they are majority IPOB people
First they came with yoruba Muslim Yoruba Christian.
Now na osun Yoruba, ogun Yoruba and Lagos yoruba dem dey use now.
What exactly is their problem? Shey dem never know say those tricks cannot work on dividing yoruba?

Even the Bible says; You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces."

Dem never jam, chinedu jam Omoluabi , chinedu jam problem . Oma su yin, Okan yin oni bale

Chief stop ranting! Hatred won’t take you anywhere.

Ruggedniggaone:
All these one na campaign after election obidiense worked for thiefnubuu and his muslim muslim ticket victory by reducing Atiku votes let them reconduct election 5 times as long as Obi and Atiku are contesting on different party nothing will stop thiefnubuu from winning

You are right! I see PDP and LP joining forces together against 2027 election.

femisplash:
Aside Osun, Atiku could not win anywhere in the south and still having it very tough in the North. He is going nowhere.

He already won Akwa-Ibom

Use your head wisely:
N30,000 minimum wage, no governor went to supreme court to ensure implementation
*Local Govt. No governor went to supreme court to enforce autonomy
*Non payment of salaries and pension no governor went to supreme court
*ASUU Strike for 8 months no Governor went to supreme court.
*Fuel scarcity...no supreme court
*Electricity hike; no supreme court
*Bad Roads....no supreme court order.
*Unemployment.... No supreme court.
*Poverty....no supreme court order.
*Heightened inflation, no supreme court order.
*COVID-19 lockdown which lasted for months, even palliatives ceased/denied, no governor went to supreme court. *Now there no physical cash to buy votes...they remember that the masses are suffering.
Ask yourself.... are these govenors really working for your interest?

February 25th is a day of liberation By God's grace.

Judiciary was on strike for over 4 months in 2021 cos of automony. Nigerian governors forum disregarded court order till date. Now they are crying like babies cos e choke them.
