AdesolaHeritage:
Yes
I was refused in September, I just reapplied

Okay

AdesolaHeritage:
I submitted on the 17th actually

17th of November??
It should be showing on there regardless

bigmills:
Already did.

They will process most January intake quicker than summer IMO

True, keep us updated Abeg cause any info will be useful and appreciated

And they won’t stop people from applying cause of the money

bigmills:
Honestly I don't know.
I have withdrawn our application and applying afresh.
it's no point waiting for appeal.
When the package came back, it is same way I sent it.
Not touched, not opened after 2 months o..

So you will be applying again for January intake??
Is there still time for processing for January intake cause I think I will withdraw my application and apply afresh since my school now say it has an April intake… This people are just crazy and I hear their holiday break starts on the 20th of December till like second week of January

Thats crazy

AdesolaHeritage:
When you track your application, what’s it saying?
It’s telling me no records found

Call or mail them to know how far and how long have you submitted

bigmills:
One person that I know had her application for January intake sent to Ireland.
Processing time in ireland is fast for study visa.

How do one get their application sent to Ireland from Nigeria, if we can also do it

Chiamyugwu:
lol Embassy finally picked my call today,the lady told me that the truth is that they aren’t processing study visa for January intake yet 🙂

MAD, thats crazy. No wonder my school messaged me if I have submitted my appeal and asked when I submitted, I then told them what’s their advice for me since we know the processing now take more time than initial and I may not make January( I deferred from September 2025 to January 2026) and the school said they will defer my admission to April if the embassy won’t make January meaning, the embassy might contact me to ask if I have deferred or will withdraw to start new application for September 2026. Mind you I never for once saw on the school website that they have an April intake(DBS). They all know what’s happening, just contact your school.

You guys should mail and try to call them

iyemizee:
Yes, i submitted my appeal on 12th August and haven’t received any decision yet

Have you tried mailing them??

Shally233:
I already have a deferral letter from school for the next intake which is September, 2026, so I just have to send the letter to them and withdraw

Oh, sorry to ask but the school doesn't have an intake for January 2026??

[quote author=Shally233 post=137477198][/quote]Why don’t you email the school and get a deferral letter cause this is looking promising to me instead of withdrawing the application

[quote author=Shally233 post=137477198][/quote]No, they will not refund your visa application fee.

Chiamyugwu:
Normal

Okay
Pls just keep us updated when you hear from them and I wish you success

Chiamyugwu:
I doubt if those people are still processing study visa,I submitted Aug 14th …I sent an update mail And was still told still in queue for processing after 12weeks

An appeal or normal application

[quote author=Chiamyugwu post=137461871]I doubt if those people are still processing study visa,I submitted Aug 14th …I sent an update mail And was still told still in queue for processing after

That’s crazy and pls keep us updated if anything changes

Rennyyyy:
Co-asking please.
Submitted my appeal since early September. They acknowledged receipt 12th September and I'm still waiting till now

Pls is there anyone who submitted normal application(study) and appeal in august that have gotten a decision… pls we really need to know ejoor🙏🙏

My visa was denied cause I forgot to add the financial summary sheet 😭😭 which was a costly one on my part and some other foolish reasons known to them, so I updated my statement of account, deferred my admission to January (DBS), added the deferred admission letter,added more documents, addressed their refusal points and sent my package and all I have to do is wait. Na that waiting gangan dey mess with pesin and now it's suppose to take longer.... It is well

kayla23:
I submitted at vfs on the 22nd of September 2025 and my documents got to the embassy on September 24th 2025

Okay. I submitted my initial application June 17 at vfs Abuja and I got their decision on August 18th(denied). DHL my appeal package on the 21st of September from ikorodu and it got to Abuja on the 22nd. What I just know how is the stuff is taking longer and we need those who said they applied August to say something if they've gotten a response pls.

kayla23:

When did you apply

Ayo112:
Not to justify their rubbish, they handle four countries visa processing and I think that will be a lot cause I can’t imagine what Nigeria number alone will be then adding 3 other African countries plus the Ireland embassy are probably lazy and short staffed

They share their embassy building with Netherland and netherland sometimes handles interviews daily while

bigmills:
It is just unfair and poor by the embassy. Genuinely due to lack of transparency its even hard to trust the process.

An appeal is not an entirely new submission. I suppose an appeal should require fewer documents but understandably more scrutiny

My concern with the process is this: why refuse an application immediately due to incomplete documentation in most cases, especially when the missing information is something that can be clarified or provided easily?

Would it not be more efficient to have a portal or link to a portal where applicants can upload missing documents or provide explanations before a final decision is made? This would save time for both the applicant and the embassy and would reduce the number of refused applications.

Chiamyugwu:
It’s tiring …..I just feel like withdrawing…..I submitted since August 14th ….more than 12weeks and the Embassy is saying my application is in queue for processing even after 12weeks …for a study visa …

Omo, it’s crazy o.
What will those of us waiting for appeal now do??

bigmills:
Influx of application regardless.
The UK stilll processes more application than ireland and does not take more than 15 working days.
it's their processes and the people within the process.

That's very bad and they are wasting a lot of people time.... It's just crazy

Saw someone on here who hasn't gotten any feedback since early August for study visa ooo

kayla23:
I cant imagine the influx of applications they had this year.

It is a total mess. They have terrible systems.......

At the same time i think it’s a ploy to reduce the amount of people migrating to the country.

Yh, I think they are gradually fading out the appeal process too cause who’s going to wait for 6months when normal application is like 12weeks maximum. I have an appeal with the. Since September and don’t even know what to do and I need my passport at the same time to start looking at other places

Saw this on their page this morning
Is appeal not in trouble like this
6 months for processing

bigmills:
Hi Fam,

Hope everyone is doing fine.
Has anyone heard back from Appeal?

Nothing on my side. Submitted September
What about you??

Any congratulations
Abeg make una give us hope o

kayla23:
Omo nothing yet.....

This is very stressful i swear, almost 2 weeks without any new list of decisions posted on the website.

Omo

Any update from anyone who has gotten a decision today( both appeal And normal application pls)
