No question, just print your appointment Email and take your passport with you. You don’t need cover shoe, what they want to capture is your face.

Alabidele45:
Okay but won’t they find out with my dad’s name I’ll be putting in my application
Or they can’t with his name

I don’t think it will affect you in my own opinion. You didn’t do anything wrong neither did your dad.

cashmyles:
What's the status of your visa application. Did mine on Monday and the status has been application submitted to UKVI since Monday

Same here

[quote author=BigshotAsola5 post=133079826][/quote]I mentioned priority or super priority because he said his POF will mature on Dec 16. December is a peak period, more people will be applying as resumption date is close by, also there are public holidays in December.
Yours took six days. But I and other people that applied last week, Monday and Wednesday respectively have not gotten a decision.

Alabidele45:
Really ?
Is that for like priority or just to get to a date

It’s to get a date. If you book ahead you can get free date. But if you want to do your biometric ASAP you might have to pay.

Alabidele45:
Pls who has applied recently to let us know the current price

Current price at Vfs is 177k. That’s if you can’t get a free date.

Neyopumpin02:
Hi everyone,

I need your help. My Proof of Funds (POF) will be ready on December 16th. I'm wondering if it's too late to apply for a visa. My course starts on January 13th, and the latest I can arrive is January 20th.

You can still apply if you can pay for priority or super priority, so that the decision on your visa will be fast.

cole19:
Somebody please enlight me.
I applied through an agent for a UK tourist visa standard and I did my biometric since 18th of October at the Ikeja TLS. My agent keep telling me due to the switch between TLS and vfs that he hasn't gotten any mail up till this moment. Please is any any possibility for such delay?

I think you should make a paid call or mail to find out what exactly is going on

cashmyles:
Thank you.
Please, aside the appointment letter and the passport, is there any other things I'll have to take along for the biometric appointment?

Nothing else. Your appointment letter and passport.

Alabidele45:
Pls I’ll really appreciate if anyone can enlighten/answer the below questions
If my school is in Edinburgh can I tell the immigration at the Poe I’m staying at a family friends place at Glasgow for a while for me to be able to get my own accommodation ,with the address of the place provided
…pls will this work out without any issues

Pls I need ideas anyone that has gone through this as well



Also has everyone that has been traveling lately got their accommodation before traveling
Has anyone done the above lately

Sure you can do that, just tell them it’s a temporary arrangement till you get your own accommodation.

Tolezy001:
Hello, good afternoon everyone. Please I want to ask is it too late to start my application for January intake now?

It’s not too late, hope all your documents are ready?

Beaubussy:
Please I beg you as you come across my post, even if it is 1 out of my questions, help me answer it as I will be applying soon

THIRD TIME OF POSTING AND NO TIME BY MY SIDE AGAIN!!!
Married with a child (a year and half old)
Q1. Will I need to provide passport number for husband and child during VISA application (They don't have passports yet as there is no longer dependant for students so no rush to get passport)
Q2. Is 6 months study gap too much before NYSC?
Q3. Hope there can't be a denial of VISA because my child is just above a year old saying he is too small to be left in the country because of studies
Q4. Should I say my son is financially dependent on me? Or should the answer be NO?


Please in the name of God help with any of my questions you have response to as I am curious and want no refusal. I was refused SChengen tourist visa earlier this year saying there is reasonable doubt I'll return after VISA Expiration maybe because I didn't submit enough Ties to the country

Q1. You don’t need provide the passport number of your husband and son since they are not going with you.
Q2. Six month sturdy gap is not much, mine is 10 years.
Q3. I don’t think so, it’s not as if you are neglecting him. He will be with his dad. You are going for study not visit.

Alabidele45:
Okay thank you so much
So one can log out and still get to that payment part
And can you pls send me the website

Yes you can log in and out. Your application will be at the payment stage, you can only proceed after making payment.

Alabidele45:
Pls can anyone pls explain on detail on how to make an application for student visa
The website ?
Are we going to make the IHS fee/visa payment before inputting our basic details and uploading our documents
And if someone wants to use their card to make payment for me
Will you have to give them your login details to be able to make the payment
Pls someone pls explain all this ??🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

You input your details before making IHS/visa fee. Yes the login details is needed to make payment. If you are not the one doing it, when it get to that stage they will give you the login details so that you can make payment.

BigshotAsola5:

I got it on Thursday, few minutes after dropping that comment. Did you apply through agent? What are they saying about it?

Samuel1104:
Good evening house, I applied for Mechanical Engineering at the University of Portsmouth for September 2024. I later deferred the admission to January 2025 which I made 6k deposit in the early August, 2024. Now after completed my CAS Shield yesterday, expecting to receive CAS but this is what I got instead. I don't know how they arrived at this decision. Meanwhile, money is not the problem. Pls what do you think I can do? Thanks in advance!

Reach out to them so as to know the way forward.

deejay102:
Thank you. They are cheap only issue is the 50% upfront. Appreciate your response

They accept 3000 pounds for deposit. When the visa is out you will add the remaining balance to make it 50percent. The 50 percent is for enrollment. With 3000 you will get CAS

deejay102:
Hello, please could you state what discounts/scholarships York St. John offer on admission. Please and thanks

The only discount I know is if you pay your school fee in full at a specific date you will get a 5% discount. The school fee for my course is 11800. Some courses are 11300. Their school is one of the cheapest.

Maleekplus234:
What school is this please if you don’t mind?

Cuz I’m going thru same issue with Ulster Birmingham at the moment…

I need them fix an error on my CAS Statement and it’s been 3 days now with no resolution yet.

It’s York St. John University. They just sent me the updated CAS few minutes ago. It took them two weeks.

CnC347:
How long did it take to receive it cos i've waited for 5 weeks now,

I applied for September intake, but I was late, so I moved to January. I received the CAS on October 14. There was a mistake on it, I requested that they edit it, I have waiting for over two weeks now, nothing yet.

CnC347:
Have you received your CAS yet?

Yes I have received it
