Good Morning Everyone;
Please I need everyone advise, I'm a first time applicant. I submitted my Tier4 Application on the 24th July and 26th July the UKVI received it. Since then no update. Everyone should kindly advice me on this matter and my school is resuming soon. I'm really disturbed about this.
Thank you all in advance.

funlade78:


Thanks a lot, I mailed the school today.

good evening i applied and had my biometrics on the 13th of july and havent received any update till now, 34 working days, i have called and emailed and they said its been escalated, worried is an understatement.. still hoping for the best, status hasnt changed on the ukvi link either.

kayluv21:
I applied on 7th July (35 working days!), and no decision made yet
I have sent numerous emails but to no avail. It's being escalated was the response every time
Being worried sick is an understatement for me atm

hi bro, please i have sent you an email, please lets get in touch as we have similar timelines and up on till now no response

Ellizle:

Congrats dear

bro i applied 13th of july still no response

Hi Justwise,

i submitted my tier 4 visa application and did my bio metrics on 13/07/2017, standard application at the ikeja vac, its been 31 working days today and still no word from them, i placed a call to ukvi on the 17/08/2017 which cost £15.31 and they were not much help either, i sent an email to them yesterday on 24/08/2017 and no response yet,

i am very much worried because a friend of mine who i met here on nairaland who had here biometrics and interview on the same day with me received a decision mail today 25/08/2017 and her status has been updated on the ukvi track application site.

this is my second time applying for tier 4 student visa , i was granted in 2015 to do my masters and now i have applied to do another masters degree, a deeper area of specialization at the same university in which academic progression was stated in my CAS, so another reason why i am scared is that i feel because its another masters degree maybe my application is under scrutiny

Also i spent an extra 12 days after my last tier 4 visa expired due to illness but left immediately i was of better health and had no immigration problems when leaving and it even states in the ukvi law that any overstay less than 30 days , you will not be banned and be allowed to make an application i also stated and declared this in the additional information section on the tier 4 visa application to show credibility. i am also married to my girlfriend who is a british citizen .

please if you have any advice , please let me know, i have been worried sick , i dont know if no response till now is a bad sign, because my school will resume on 18th september and i am worried if all my circumstances will count against me..

Ellizle:


hey dear,

By tomorrow u should get good news about ur visa with everyone of us still awaiting ours.

Hi ellizle, i applied on the 13/07/2017 at ikeja vac, non priority, checked countless amount of times and still no update, today is my 30th working day, i am over wotmrried and panicking!! Sent an email again to them today.. dont even know what to do or think anymore

mimilyrics:
If you don't get any feedback as per your decision today/tomorrow, I think you should call them but note that the contact staff might or might not have the info yet because my own GWF number is still not recognized on the tracking site.
But I just got a decision mail from TLS. TLS site updated to decision made. I'm awaiting the collection mail. Nothing from Sheffield.
Online submission: July 16
Biometrics and interview: July 19 at TLS Ikeja

Good news for you, i am still awaiting, please did you use priority

5hyguy:
yes o amen

hi @mimilyrics tod,ay makes min 29 working days since i submitted and did biometrics on 13/07/2017 at ikeja vac non-priority, worried is an understatement.. the ukvi should please help pesin naa.

danielloso19:


hi Thonybayo from the posts on nairaland cumulus and you both got decisions and collection mails on their 29th and 30th working day respectively as i calculated it with my calendar this week friday will make it my 30th working day so im hoping mine will be this week because on the ukvi website 98% of applications are finished within 30 working days and 91% in the 15 working days they say in the mail sent. You applied on the 10th at the ikeja vac just 3 working days before me and we both didnt use priority!

I was going to put in another call in 2moro but will not because im hoping and believing it will be this week.

Best regards

Today makes it 27 working days and still havent heard back from ukvi , man is over scared and worried .. i applied on the 13 of july at ikeja VAC , standard application , just hoping before end of the week will get an email from them!! Everyone whos still awaiting.. we will get it soon!!

Question1:


Bros please how much does it cost to contact them via mail or is it at no cost?

Just check the ukvi site for the details, u will see how much it costs there

Thonybayo:


If you may
What exactly do you mean by "escalation".

This is in reference to your timeline wherein August 4th indicated "escalation".

Thank you.

cumulus:


It is a process where issues/enquiries that cannot be handled by the customer service centre will be redirected to someone whose job is specifically to handle such.

please @cumulus how do i request ask for an escalation on my application

cumulus:

Congratulations cumulus. Please i applied since 13/07/2017 , not priority at ikeja VAC , please its about 26 working days now, i put in a call last thursday but still nothing yet.. i am very worried as my intented travel date has passed and school fast approching, do u advice i should call again. The delay is very painful and wonder whats wrong with them.

justwise:


Possibly, though it depends on how long he over stayed and what he was doing during that period

good day @justwise, im a follower of your threads here and thanks they are all very helpful, i have recently just applied to do another masters degree in a uk university as a form of a deeper area of concentration at the same university i did my last masters degree and have been granted my CAS and also the university justifies it as academic progression, but please heres my real concern,

i overstayed my last student visa by 12 days due to an unfortunate asthma attack and self medicated myself at home but returned back to Nigeria immediately i was better that was on the 12th day , now that i have applied for a new tier 4 visa and i did declare this on my application form about the overstay, will such have a negative effect on my application and i am also married to a british citizen , will such have an effect on my application.

thank you.

showstopa:


Application 14th July. Decision 5th August. Hang in there, fingers crossed

hi good day, please i submitted and had interview on 13th of july , i applied for tier 4 student visa and up until now have not received any feedback ,its more than 25 working days and still no respone, i put a call through on thursday and they told me it was still being prepared for condsideration by ukvi, please whats your timeline like? did u submitt at the ikeja vac? did you use priority?

Thonybayo:
Hi Everyone,

Following @cumulus announcement i have been tracking my application process (practically every five minutes) using the ukvi provided portal and to my surprise, the last time i checked my status had changed to DECIDED.

I am now waiting for the notification mail from tls contact and i am nervous as hell concerning the actual decision.

The ukvi site works, just keep on checking using your application number (GWF).

Congratulations!! More good news soon. Have you. Now received the decision email? . Hoping for the best soon for us all

Ebwese345678:
Ok. Same time frame.
I would reiterate, i did put a call through to ukvi.

On another note when did you apply ??

Hi i put a call through today and same response that it is still being prepared by an eco , but it is well passed 15 working days .. im scared , but when will they answer us, i mean they are with our passports

ekpotek:


wait until you get the come and collect your passport email.

goodday please i applied for my student visa since the 14/07/2017 and it is well passed 15 working days now and i have not received the any decision email , my school will soon resume , please just want to ask if you applied on with or without priority and was it at the ikeja VAC center?

thank you

Question1:


Was the Mail stating you online visa application has been received at the Decision making center and currently being prepared for consideration by the Entry clearance?

yes thats exactly what was in the mail i received, but its well passed 15 working days at about 23 working days, so very confused and dont understand this delay? how about you whats your own timeline like?

good evening @ajoke007 , happy you have got a response from them , but please kindly let us know when u applied and where , because a lot of us here applied since mid july and had our interview at the ikeja VAC and havent gotten any response from ukvi and our course start dates are soon. so please did you call them or email them before getting this emai and did you use priority.

please let us know, the worry and tension is real abeg.

thanks again @thonybayo, i am just overthinking and scared but by Gods grace we will all receive good news soon and i hope by friday something will come up and if not i will put a call through to them. will keep you update and please let me know too once good news turns up.
