Visa Alert! Visa Alert!! Visa Alert!!!

UK Tier 4 Visa Application - 18th September 2021(Priority). I am the main applicant and my wife is the dependent.

Course of study- M.Sc in Information Technology and Network Management at Robert Gordon University at Aberdeen, Scotland

Biometrics - Wednesday 22nd September 2021 at Ikeja TLS for myself and my wife. My wife had appointment but I did walk-in as I can’t wait till 24th September because school has resumed since 13th September and my own biometrics was meant to be 24th September.

Monday 27th September 2021 - Received first NSF Mail

Monday 4th October 2021 - Received 2nd NSF mail. Shortly after I received a call and an email from UKVI for a video interview slated for the following day 5th October for 9:30am. ( At this stage we have disposed of most of our things at home and we’re practically sleeping on the floor. Imagine the tensions that were already creeping into our mind and lives?)

Tuesday 5th October 2021 - Video interview commenced as scheduled and lasted for about 1 hour. Questions asked ranges from reasons for my previous three visa refusals from 2003(two refusals) and 2016(one). The also asked reasons for the 13 year educational gap between B. Sc (2008) and intending M.Sc(2021) and what I have been doing in-between those years. They asked other others ranging from why I wanted to study IT, why I chose Robert Gordon Uni, what myself and wife were doing for a living amongst other sundry questions then the interview ended.

Monday 11th October 2021 - Wife’s profile moved to VAC and later that day a pickup mail was delivered .

Tuesday 12th October 2021- My profile moved to VAC and a pickup mail was sent later that day.

We both travelled to Lagos on Friday to pick up our passport with our visa inside.

It was a torrid journey which started in May 2021 and had a lot of delays from my university(Olabisi Onabanjo University) failing to process my transcripts on time to RGU first offering me a pre-masters which I rejected to the real masters admission coming out late on the 1st of September 2021. What about having to go to the Ikoyi registry to correct numerous errors on our wedding certificate which they made three times? The numerous near accidents on the Lagos/Ibadan expressway amongst others.

In all these we thank the good lord that the whole project was successful at the end.

�������������ALERT � ALERT

I want to thank everyone one on this group for checking on me and also the show of love ❤️ I appreciate.

I was the guy UKVI refused his visa and also top it up with 10years ban because of 4naira miscalculation.

Everything started in January2021 when I used fidelity bank statement for my POF which was very very Okay but to my greatest surprise I was refused. In the refusal letter nothing was said about BAN so thought I could reapply to another school instead of waiting for outcome of AR also I was told I needed a letter from the bank stating the statement was genuine but bank was not responding.

Fast forward to 22nd of June when I got another refusal that any other application I make for the next 10years will refused because I have used deception in a previous application.

I quickly went to Fidelity bank Head office in V.I to show them the refusal letter and what could be done but they keep telling me a mail has been sent to their audit department for review and I should wait omo I waited for 3days without nothing. On the fourth day I went to their office very early in the morning to para omo Na so I start to Dey remove cloth ooo finally someone from their legal department came to talk to me and I followed them.

After reviewing the refusal letter they said if UKVI needed better explanation why the statement was like that they should have contacted them directly so they gave me a letter that the statement was genuine and I also wrote a letter quoting their law because in the immigration law in think in paragraph 9.7.3 or so it state and I quote IF THE CASEWORKING OFFICER DONT UNDERSTAND A DOCUMENT EVEN AFTER IT HAS BEEN VERIFIED FROM THE THIRD PARTY THE APPLICANT SHOULD EITHER BE MAILED OR CALLED FOR BETTER EXPLANATION but none of this was done.

Finally after 95days of my AR I got a mail with apology and also that the BAN as been removed from my name/record.

In the 95days my BP was between 110/143

I was broke

I barely eat & sleep

I got angry � so fast

I was like the world should come to an end

I started have anxiety

People said all kinds of things to me that statement was from oluwole and so on.

I just thank God I wasn’t put to shame �����

Just arrived in the UK on Saturday via Virgin Atlantic, so let me finally share my visa alert

VISA ALERT! VISA ALERT!! VISA ALERT!!!
Application 16th September
Biometrics 21st September after using 4 days to do walk in, including sleeping at tls two nights! Ikeja tls is the absolute ghetto
Collection mail, October 4th, after how many days and I paid priority. Mtcheew
Dhl Delivery October 6th.
Booked Virgin Atlantic the next day, for Saturday October 9th, arrived safely same day, their services was top notch btw.

Questions asked at the border was not much, just my school, course, my school fees, who’s paying for it, then he noted it was expensive lol, I agreed it is. Then he asked my plans after school, that was all. Just basic questions you can’t fail, if you’re a genuine student. When I left the airport, the cold slapped my forehead and they said this is not winter yet, wahala o. Lmaoooo anyways, good luck to all expecting their visas, and welcome to the Uk to new arrivals. BRING WINTER JACKET O, at least one.

WHAT GOD CANNOT DO, DOES NOT EXIST!

justwise:
You can acknowledge the refusal and state that you can remember the reason and that i happened 12 yrs ago.

Babababy:
You can request your immigration history from UKVI, one month is stated as the time frame for getting the information to you but it might come sooner .

Hello Everyone,

I was denied UK visiting Visa when I was just 15, it was during the era of old passport before the Ecowas passport . The reason for denial was catchment area(I lived in Ibadan but applied in Abuja with my father). I was told by my dad but he can’t find the refusal letter anymore because it was 18 years ago.
I will be applying for student visa by December.

1) Do I need to state that I was denied despite that I was just 15? I wasn’t even aware then
2) Can they still have the info on the old passport since we now use e passport?
Please I will be glad if the gurus in the house can help with my question. Thank you.

centuryman:
For someone who <b>sincerely and genuinely</b> cannot remember the true outcome of his visit visa application to the UK for more than 12 years ago, what is the best way to handle this during visa application?

Note that he used an agent to apply and therefore didn't get any refusal letter from the agent.

Please, no abuse.

Seyisuccess:
It's clearly stated on their site.
I couldn't have pull out a specific date from my head.
The data used in expressing the doubt here could as well fetch you the information on the school website.
Selah!

Good morning people, I need someone to to help a brother before serious depression set in.

I and my wife did priority visa and biometrics since the 22nd of September. I got two NSF mails firstly on Monday 27th September and the second one on the 4th of October. On the 4th of October I also got a mail from the UKVI that a video call would have to be done with me on Tuesday 5th October by 9:30 am.
My admission agent says they are requesting for the interview because of the three previous visa refusals I had in the past two in 2003 and one in 2016.

The video interview was conducted on Tuesday by an Indian woman from New Delhi and it lasted 47 minutes where I explained to them the reasons for the refusals The questions were basic and not different from what was filled online. After the interview she said they would get back to me by close of business that same Tuesday. But up till now I have not heard anything.

Meanwhile my school had commenced lectures since the 13th of September. I am fed up and don’t know what to do. I have sold everything at home in anticipation of the visa and now everything is on a gridlock.

Has anyone experienced this kind of thing before and if yes what was the outcome?

Seyisuccess:
No, you pay 50% on enrolment, and the 3500 initial deposit is inclusive of the 50%.
I got admitted for MSc Data Science also, with a 1k off tuition. This brings the remaining tuition to 13,500.
50% of 13,500 is 6,750
You have to pay initial deposit of 3500
Which means you have to pay 3250 on enrolment to meet up with 50% tuition on enrolment.
And the other 50% balance to be paid by May 27th.

I hope you understand my point small.

Oanda for both.
Remember to add extra in case of fluctuations

centuryman:
Good evening everyone.

Is oanda the official website for pound (£) conversion to naira (#)?

For POF, am I to use oanda rate for the conversion or CBN rate?

Please advise.
