but I got admission with my HND in Biz admin too. I love your fate...God will do it for you.

Earlier this year, I told God that I don't want spend Christmas in Nigeria and he did it for me.

BTW, is there anyone in Stratford or any part of East London and you need a job, just quote me. My boss is into event planning and she asked me to get more hands for her. Rate is minimum wage

I’m interested

I haven't been in the best of moods since last night as I got a refusal mail for my Student Visa, from UKVI yesterday, Even though I have accepted my fate and trying to move on, I still feel cheated by UKVI.

I applied in December for January intake but I had to withdraw my visa application in February due to approaching Cas deadline. And now I deferred to September intake

Biometrics - 23rd June
Refusal mail- 2nd of July
Reason for refusal: incorrect bank statement calculation. So the visa officer didn't deduct my global scholarship of £3,000 from my POF, he only removed my tuition deposit and my required funds was below the minimum due to that error. I already applied for an administrative review today and l'd keep you guys updated .

UPDATE:
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW APPLICATION- 3rd July
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW SUCCESS - 17th July
My application was sent back to the original case working team for reconsideration…. I waited for almost 2 months

UKVI CONTACT TO SCHOOL- 9th September
Ukvi asked if my school was still willing to sponsor me for the September intake and my university confirmed this with me

17th september, my school resumed. Still no response from ukvi. Deadline was October 16th
25th September- I submitted a pre action protocol to UKvi due to the delay and the risk of losing my place …. I gave them until 5th October to respond

29TH SEPTEMBER - Interview inviteI was told they would love to conduct an interview on October 6th. I was scared because my undergraduate degree was similar to
My master’s programme.

OCTOBER 6th: i had my interview…. With a young British lady. She was polite and didn’t interrupt me while speaking. Interview lasted more than an hour

OCTOBER 9th- VISA APPROVAL.

To everyone else waiting wishing you the best of luck

Jidemikoj:
Wow please Charles can i send you a DM if you can guide me through the process. Thank you

Yeah…. You can… send me your email so I could drop my digits

Jidemikoj:
Please who has been involved in an administrative review before? How long did it take you to get another decision. Will appreciate answers, thank you

It took me two weeks to get a new decision after I filled for administrative review

Ricardo8484:
Please, I need advice from anyone who recently got a CAS from Keele University, especially Nigerian applicants.

Did they ask you to explain the source of funds or any large deposit shown on your statement? Before issuing CAS?

No they didn’t.

Sonofgod1990:
I wish I can find this lady when I come back to Nigeria next month. I'm just willing to give her 5 million naira

She’s my cousin o. You can send a pm

Sonnobax15:

Only Geh geh don use him own hand take scatter him career . I just dey pity am because the rate at which he will lose followers will be so alarming.

That’s a movie scene in Abuja couple of days ago. I don’t know why y’all are believing he’s married.

Tribet:
Guys, I'm exhausted oh since May 11th
Ukvi has not asked me for anything not even interview invite, they're still refusing to escalate on top

Did you submit an employment/work reference during your visa application? If yes, it’s likely they’re conducting a third party verification from your work place. But if no, it could be a bank verification too. Just confirm from your bank or your work place depending on what you submitted.
My application equally got delayed in December and I later got to realize UKvi contacted my workplace and they responded very late which made me withdraw the application after 10 weeks

Bigbabyy0:
Biometrics 1 June - priority
Ukvi interview- 09 June
Additional documentation- 09 June ( 2 hours after interview and sent same day)
Visa Approval: 10th July 2026


Do you know my El-roi
Thanks to everyone…I trust God
Always believe in God… he will show you mercy

My second attempt 👌 1st attempt was delayed and withdrawn
Second one ..God did

Your visa approval was one I’ve been looking foward too since December …. I know what you’ve really been through.. I’m glad God came through for you.
This one loud!! Massive Congrats to you. ….
Now you can sleep well. Cheers 🥂

Oluwabukolaanik:
Please i need an answer, if i have an ongoing administrative review can i apply for a new visa application?

You can, but bear in mind the moment you do apply for a visa your administrative review is going to be withdrawn automatically and you won’t get a refund of your £80 payment

Altern8tor:
Can ur visa application still continue with a fast administrative review?

Of course, the visa application still goes on until administrative review is finalized

Tribet:
Oh so sorry Charles, took them only one week to deny but are keeping people hanging for over 2 months

You’d definetly get it. Might just be operational delay and backlog

Altern8tor:
Ur CAS did not state ur scholarship,,u should have asked for an updated CAS showing ur scholarship b4 visa application,,, that was a costly mistake,, very sorry about that

My CAS clearly stated my scholarship of £3,000 and tuition deposit of £4,000. This was a mistake from the visa officer. I don’t know what he/she was thinking

Bigbabyy0:
So sorry about this

Thank you!!

Bigbabyy0:
Did you do priority?

I opted for standard

Bigbabyy0:
How far any update Charles

No updates yet. Still waiting o. We would get it this time, God’s in control.

profpius:
Please those that have done their biometrics and did self upload
What and what did you carry to your biometrics date?

Did you have to print out
Appointment slip
Checklist too?
And what was checked at Ikeja vfs[color=#990000][/color]

Just have a copy of your appointment slip and international passport. Nothing else.

Bigbabyy0:
I don’t understand this forum again

Has anyone applied for visa lately
Both standard and priority

Majority are yet to apply for September intake. By June/July there should be a surge in student application. Have you applied yet?

Sunshinelikeme:
Please do a paid email so UKVI can escalate it and tell the person who made payment on your behalf to call his or her bank to complain about it.
I know of someone with similar situation with you. Although she is in the process of getting her money back.

I was able to do a paid enquiry last week Friday and the case has now been officially escalated. Thanks for your input.

Bigbabyy0:
Yes got it in 3days

That was fast. Someone made the payment on my behalf using a dollar card, so I don’t know if an email notification would be sent to me once my ihs has been refunded

Bigbabyy0:
I’m back again …where’re my January intakes that moved to September cuz of delays… it’s time again o

Is anyone going to university of Portsmouth.. so we can link up

Hello, pls have you been refunded your ihs fee

Hello guys, pls how long does ihs refund take after successfully withdrawing a visa application. I withdrew my application since February 20th but I’m yet to get a refund . This is currently my 7th week . Anyone in a similar situation?

Bigbabyy0:
Come to my school : msc water and environmental engineering is perfect if you are driven

What’s up. Congrats on your offer this time. At least you’d be able to apply for your visa on time.
Pls I wanted to confirm if you’ve been able to get your IHS refund?

Bigbabyy0:
My dear withdraw it
And get your IHS atleast… all hope is not lost
We go again later… defer to September

How long does the refund for ihs take and have you been refunded?

Bigbabyy0:
So sorry dear
I’m really sorry to hear that … I will wait it out till the last day

I hope you get a positive response either today or tomorrow . You’ve waited too long for this

Ratuk:
So sorry about that. And they going to refund your visa fee, yes?

In as much as a decision wasn’t finalized in my application, then visa fee would be refunded. My friend got a refund for his visa earlier this week after canceling his application a few weeks ago

I’ve successfully withdrawn my application. An unsuccessful 2 months wait. E go better.
