Hi everyone, i am in a dilemma here, my mum is my sponsor so i intend to use her bank account statement for my application. bt the problem is this, although the surname is the same as one would expect, there is a slight difference in the way her name is spelt as compared to mine. for instance Adeshola and Adesola. i dont know if this is gonna have any effect on my application.

How long does the dispatch take?

Are you sure thats the deadline? Isnt it usually one week after resumption date? Lol nigerians and public holidays.. The annoying thing is that there is now public holidays when youre meant to be counting working days for receiving your decision/documents

school actually reaumed on 21st which was yesterday, but lectures commence on 29th which is next tuesday hrd 28th is a public holiday in scoltand so dat week ends on 2nd october which is friday, and all enrolments must be complete by friday

derbylicious:
Abj is faster...when is your start date?? You'd get feedback this week ok

lectures start on 29th bt deadline for enrollment is 2nd of october, now that thursday nd friday is off due to public holidays mehn, God dey sha

derbylicious:
I'd rather shop chocolates with the approximately 40k than pay for priority

Skype chat(not interview IMO) was on the 10th September @ Abj VAC

derbylicious:

*tears shirt and runs outside while people gape and watch*

did you pay for priority? and also which vac did you use

spawne:
I will confirm my application tomorrow after which I believe I will have to pay for the visa and choose an interview date. When you say "pay before you submit at the visa application center" , do you mean before I confirm application or before I go for the interview.
Forgive me if this just sounds plain dumb. Trying not to make a mistake.
Many thanks.

your previous post talked about paying for priority service, which can only be done after you have submtitted your application and must have paid the visa fee and IHS. after submitting your application you will be required to create an account on the tls website(uk.tlscontact.com/ng) that is where you can subscribe for the priority service

spawne:
Baba, congratulations. Quick one abeg. How do I go about paying for the priority service? Before I submit my application or after.
Once again, congratulations.

you pay before you submit at the visa application center, through the tls website, although you'll be asked wen u get to the vac if u want to pay for it, so u can as well pay it there with your atm card

derbylicious:
Nothing yet ....

did you sign up for the priority service?

@creamyworkz, Hi.
It shouldn't. Your sponsor(RGU) is a licensed UK HEI. They can assert you English proficiency.

thanks, i was curious

Hi Mates.

Another silent follower.
You guys are doing an amazing job.
I basically read through the forum and I got a hang of exactly what to do and how to do it. I also went through the UKVI's Tier 4-PBS document.

I picked up my Visa yesterday(Monday), it's been ready since Friday though.
Had my interview on the 2nd of September at the VAC Ikeja. Give or take, it took 7 working days.
I'm heading to Robert Gordon Uni. Aberdeen.

So about the application process.
I obviously applied to the school, got admission, paid tuition and got CAS. For the CAS though, RGU made payment of IHS and IELTS mandatory. So I initially made payment for IHS, but I processed a refund which I got within two weeks of initiating the process.
My IELTS was alright too. Speaking: 7.5; Writing:6.5; Reading:7.0;Listening:8.5; Overall band score:7.5.
I actually got my CAS before my IELTS was out, I gave them an expired TOEFL result (108/120) and my WAEC result showing my English result, so they processed my CAS with that, plus the school is HEI. But they asked for my IELTS when I got to the VAC and good enough, I had it with me.

I did my TB test at IOM, Ikeja. Its pretty straight forward! Call them to book an appointment and go for your appointment. PS: The guys at IOM(Ikeja) are very nice people! Very cultured.
Anyways, I think I'll just list out what I submitted. Sorry for the plenty story


Documents Submitted

Bank Statement (Use Oanda.com as your exchange peg. Don't forget currency variation!) But if you start counting your 28 days and you find out you didn't put enough money in your account before your started the 28 days count, simply make additional tuition payment(if you made part payment though) and have your school update your CAS to reflect the new paid tuition. I highlighted when the funding in my account started and when it ended.

CAS Letter

TB Test Result

IELTS Result

Oanda Print out (The didn't return my Oanda Print out but returned my bank statement, so yea! they actually use it)

Visa Application Printout

Bsc Certificate

I also labelled accordingly: Appendix A - D.

PS: Just pay attention to certain details and read this forum well well and you'll be fine. Please don't forget UKVI's website oh! They change immigration law more than a woman changes her own mood.

i have a place on a course in the same school and i am still awaiting decision on my visa application, but i wasnt required to undergo any english language test, all they requested for was waec certificate and my degree certificate i hope it wont affect decision on my visa application

I did my interview at the VI vac on 8th of september, and as of dis day, my application status on the tls website still says "recieved by UKVI" while the last mail i got from tls says "your application has now been recieved by the ukvi and will now be proccessed according to published timelines" this was on 14th of september. the deadline for registration in the school is 2nd october. wat are my chances of getting my visa before then. considering the fact that i dint pay for the priority sevice. thanks
