Same day as yours, 16th December (priority).

It's still on application received by DMC

awww...you probably should have called today but on Thursday call regardless...it's rest assuring knowing that a decision has been made..

Nedu20:
I haven't. I want to wait till Thursday or Friday and if I don't hear anything from them by then, I will call them

when was your biometrics?...has your track detail gone to "application transferred to VAC "yet?

@Nedu20, have you been able to reach UKVI?

Nedu20:
Please, which number did you use to get the UKVI to verify whether a decision has been made on your application

+442034811736..listen to the voice prompt etc..then budget like 5500 in ur account for 8 mins call...this is an estimate...they do take their time over the phone ..lol...

Passport Collected and visa stamped...It can only be God..I thank God...I pray everyone waiting for their visa receive good news in Jesus Name Amen.

So I just received this...what does it imply?

Pls did you use priority and when did you submit?

yes priority and biometrics 16th Dec

Good morning house...I've just checked my application progress and it's on "application transferred to VAC"...how long before TLS texts one to pick up passport?

@BelleQ the online calculator puts the IHS for a one year MSc @450pounds. I paid $1012.50 for a 2yrs MSc a month ago, which comes roughly to about €750 which is 300+300+150 extra, so what are you saying.

clarity on the one year masters ish has been made... error accepted...my forte is on masters exceeding one year...

LagosismyHome:
You didnt understand the question.... it is correct 450 for a one year master program

Ok i stand to be corrected... Thanks for the pointer..

LagosismyHome:
I too know is terrible .... it inhibit your ability to learn. You can never be more accurate than the official source. The ihs website has calculated the cost to be 450 for a twelve month program student Visa.

It didn't calculate anything rather the person saw online @£450 and hence asked question for clarity...don't assume...as long as u have a course more than 13 months u paying extra £300...
The IHS for student is subsidized @ £300...this is fact not I too know( shallow when you don't have facts!!)

https://www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigration-application/how-much-pay

This is me being benevolent and helping a friend out�

LagosismyHome:
It very simple .... there is an official website where it can easily be calculated instead of speculation or saying someone should delete comments . a course for that duration then 450 is correct

Source

https://www.immigration-health-surcharge.service.gov.uk/checker/type

for tier 4 it's £300 per year...and not £450 which obviously is for other visa types...now clarity is needed for health surcharge for student tier 4 visa...
Hence my statement of delete to avoid misleading...
I paid £600 for 16 months @300 per year for MSc course..I cannot state this more categorically that the earlier £450(£300+£150 statement ) is misleading to the context in question...
Google again is your friend..and this time be specific in ur search!!!

kode12:
450 seems right. 300 for a year, but your visa will be longer that 12months, maybe 14-16 months or so, that's the extra 150 on top. That's what I read anyways, I'm sure the seniors can explain better.

best you delete this misleading information...£300 per year ( courses 13 months or less)...for tier 4 it's reduced health surcharge... Google is your friend...I paid £600 for 16 months course @£300 per year

Fatsoul:
Merry Xmas my ppl..I wana confirm how much i will pay for IHS for a 1year MSc program..I saw 450£ online..n 300£here ..pls my ppl help

£300 since you are applying for tier 4 ( student visa)

Season Greetings Everyone... May we receive favourable news regarding our applications Amen.

OnyiFel:
Please for those who printed their bank statement, is it a problem if only the first pages and last pages are the only pages that are stamped ?? Because my bank statement I’m using from Stanbic IBTC Stamped only the first and last pages . I was told that it might be a problem, that I should return to the bank and ask them to stamp all the pages.
Please how true is this ?

stamp all pages...it's stated

LagosismyHome:
i think UKVI is lazy in processing application this xmas period so those who paid for priority are getting the "not staightfoward application " to cover up for them to turning it around quickly. Annoying because these priority paid a premium for it and are not getting any faster service

don't think so...cos I paid priority.. biometrics 16th December and confirmed decision has been made...just waiting for email from VAC

Nedu20:
Please is it only my phone/network, or is TLS site not going through again?

it's working...and hasn't moved from application received at DMC

Thebody:
I will do just that, someone stated that an undergraduate can't school in the UK with dependant (my wife and kid) is there any way around it? Can I convince them that my income from my business can take care of my family, while am in school? My wife is the 2nd director of my company and own 20% shares.

unless they get a visit visa preferably 2 yrs visit( which they cannot stay more than 6 months per visit..they return back to naija...and back again say in 2 months).how old is your child?...

iamfelixy:
Congrats in advance, please when did you submit?

thank you(and Trusting God) 16th December for biometrics and upload...

Motyrese:
Wait did IHS just go from 300 pounds to 600 pounds That's sad

it's £300 per year... depends on how long your course is...£600 would be for 2yrs( 13 months upwards)

So I called ukvi today...and was told decision has been made...not told the outcome ( wasn't expecting them to anyway)... should I wait for the email before I go to VAC?

atewogboye001:
thanks so much its quite important i found out that a sheet out my bank statement wasn't scanned

you can call ukvi on Monday and also try calling the VAC where u had your biometrics ( even though they may not be able to help but they can advice you on what you need to do)...but your best option is to call ukvi asap

Have you been refused visa before? UK or other countries?

Rekindle:
I also did my biometrics same Day but used super priority, I got the application not straightforward mail, was scheduled for phone interview yesterday but they didn't call me, they just sent me an email that i should be at Ikeja on Monday morning for Skype interview.I think you should just be calm.God will work it out

Thank you...let me know of any status change and vice versa..

Nedu20:
No need to call anyone.

I did my own on Monday as well, Ikeja VAC. Priority

From what I have read so far, we should be expecting something by Monday or Tuesday.

Just because they said 5 working days doesn't mean it's exactly that 5 working days

I ve be tracking my own and it's still on the third stage, hopefully by Monday something positive will come out
