seeseun: Whao, quite inspiring. Please which came First, Decision Email or Visa Refusal Letter.
So I am sort of justified with my paranoia with regards the first SOA that I submitted, hence why I submitted an updated one reading a full 28days on the Transaction column instead of relying on the Case worker to use the SOA period. It isn't my story ma/sir. Just thought to share. |

BEHOLD THE GOD OF WONDERS! Good morning everyone, I Believe someone can learn from my experience. CAS issued on 3rd August, VISA Application on 4th August Biometrics at V.I. on 5th August Priority VISA VISA Decision on 12th August and Guess what? I got a refusal letter from UKVI I nearly died, I felt life going out of me, like my dreams and aspirations just crumbled. However, I read in between the lines and saw I could request for an administrative review which I did. Now, what really happened? I submitted a statement of account from FCMB dated 12th June to July 11th (common sense, that's 29 days). However, UKVI counted 27 days and on that basis refused my application. A closer look at the statement, I discovered FCMB brought the first transaction on that account which was 12th June down to 15th June. Now, June 12 was a Saturday so you'll expect that the transaction should reflect on Monday 14th June which would have made it exactly 28 days when counted from 14th but my dear FCMB brought in the transaction on Tuesday 15th June hence making it 27 days. I had to pay extra 80 pounds for administrative review. I also requested a new SOA for about two months from my bank which I submitted as evidence during the review process. I equally printed the email alert I received for the transactions that I did on June 12 which the bank brought in June 15. I wrote an emotional message to UKVI admitting I could have checked the SOA thoroughly before uploading. That I did the night of August 12th and I was told a new decision will be made within the next 28 days. I kept on praying while I informed Teesside of my ordeal. It was indeed a trying time. God took me to the end of myself so he can take all the glory. My smartness failed me and I had no choice but to expect a MIRACLE. I was driving home from work yesterday 16th August when I got the good news that my passport was available for pick up. I didn't believe the mail, I had to go back to track my application and lo and behold, all the stages were duly marked. God is indeed a good God, he never fails. If I got my VISA after a refusal letter, then, rest assured, yours will come too. Keep hope alive! Those who are just applying can learn one or two lessons from my experience. See you all at the other side. One love❤️

Melahou: What if one does not intend to work but rather wishes to set up his or her own company or start a business after the program? Also valid. Whatever plans you've got, make sure it's linked with whatever course you are planning to study and the return on investment is worth it |

Tolvin: Update - I just finished making a paid call to UKVI and the agent I spoke to collected my visa application and contact details. She was really surprised as she said she had not witnessed this before. She said that she saw that a decision was made on the 2nd of August but she is unable to view the decision as it's 'private'. She told me that I should expect a feedback within the next 15 working days (ideally, she said it should come before then). I believe that it will end in praise!!! It must end in praise!! I am rooting for you bro. |

K4daniel: Lol, thanks dumebi I will tell her to google roles related to her course and the average salary, makes sense to me. But then we were also worried that if she gave them salaries in pounds like working in UK.. They may say this babe no wan go back..will that affect her chances. Or she should state the amount in naira? She should state her expected salary in Naira ( since the intention is to come back to Nigeria). Also the salary she is stating must be way higher than what she is currently earning ( As it is won't make sense spending all this money and not earn more). UKVI expects return on investment from your intended studies |

K4daniel: Yeah, my friend had the same thing, no master in between since 2005 being her first degree, she has applied for her master but was called to be interviewed on Monday. Could that be the reason ukvi is calling for the interview? I doubt. That has nothing to do with it ukvi. I think Your school is the one that can cause delay in CAS Just because of much gap. It has everything to do with ukvi |

CheesyTee: Advancing a career with a PhD is good but it’s better to state the prospects for holding a master degree back in Nigeria. Like mention the position you will be coming back to hold and how you intend to fill the lacuna upon return to your country (emphasize on coming back to Nigeria. Be patriotic all through). Also, the amount you stand to earn etc.
The question will majorly come from what you wrote in your SOP. Ukvi doesn't have access to your statement of purpose, only the school does. |

Chadon007: Please @justwise, I have a very pressing question. I have an aunt in UK who I didn't declare as Family in UK during my student visa application. Mind you I used her address as UK address for TB test but I chose my school address in my visa application and said No when asked if I will stay in another location in UK. Also, she was the one that paid for my IHS and visa fee with her card. Now, I did my biometrics ( standard) on 27th July and got not straight forward mail on 6th Aug. Please, as I prepare for an interview should I be called, how do you recommend I answer the question of " if I have a family in the UK". NB: Aunt and Uncle was not among the options listed as close family in the visa application. You don't need to answer yes or no... You can say the only person you are aware of is your Aunt |

Brimmie: They attend to more than 100 people in a day in Lagos and Abuja combined. Putting it at 100 is just on average.. not exact figure. You should know better.
Where are you getting this energy from? No one is trying to argue or invalidate your concern. Saying it’s “the case” is pretty much based on emotion with no fact.

rayralph: You’re generalizing. You need to be specific. Don’t mislead people.
Lots of 28th, 29th biometrics have gotten collection email. Nobody argued that people have not collected, but I still stand on the fact that people that have not collected are more than people that have collected. I'm talking about 26th of July priority biometrics. create a poll or something for the above date let us stop this bickering |

Over 3 people who did biometrics on/before July 29th have received collection mail That is the case. I know 7 people that did on the 26th of July (Lagos and Abj) that their application is still at DMC. Some got the non straightforward mail, some didn't. |
