@dee95, congratulations, I wish you journey mercies. did u paid for priority?

Yes I did...thank u o

Dgirl63:


Congrats!!!! How did you collect it? Did you ask them or you just did as if you got the collection mail ?

I just presented an id and the slip they gave

Hi guys! Finally got my visa...I live tonight.
Paid on the 31st August
Interview on the 2nd September
Decision mail on the 9th September
Collected today!!!

Didn't wait for collection mail

Dgirl63:



My dear I'm in your exact situation, only difference is that I am to pick mine up and up till now no collection mail

Go and check o. I am in TLS abuja and the line here is crazy long! I don't think these people would even have the time to send out collection mails really.

mieluv:
hi, please does anyone know if it's possible to apply for the courier service after being interviewed. I have been trying to do so...

I don't think u can. It says on TLS' website that u can't pay for a value added service after applying...

Smartoes:
if i pay for fast track,will they still check it?

Paying to receive a decision in 24hrs doesn't guarantee that you would really get the decision in 24hrs...they can decide to verify and tell u to wait so whether u paid an extra 2000 pounds for an 1 hr decision, there's still no guarantee

Dgirl63:
Got my decision mail on Monday, hopefully I'll get the collection mail today with great news to share

Did you get the collection mail yet?

Mysteriousgirl:
Hey guys, I've been following this thread for some time and I would like to thank everyone for their useful contributions. It was very helpful.

I just got my visa and i'd be heading to King's College London for my Masters in Law. If there is anyone who will also be attending King's as well, please get in touch.

I applied at the VI centre and did not pay for priority. For those who need the info, here is my timeline:

Online Application: Aug 12
Interview/Submission: Aug 16
Received at Sheffield: Aug 22
Decision Mail: Sep 5
Collection Mail: Sep 8

All the best to those who are still waiting on decisions.

Congrats

Uzi1900:


Congrats I hope I can get my own mail tomorrow lol

U should! Might even get it before today ends. When I called they said there systems were a bit slow so hang in there

Uzi1900:


I think you should change it to Saturday instead to be on the safe side. Cuz of holz on mon/Tuesday. Ur passport might actually touch down Naija on Thursday/Friday. So you don't waste money.

Also, holiday doesn't affect flights, even weekends..so the passport will come to Nigeria regardless

Uzi1900:

Just got the mail o...rescheduling for Thursday night so I can get a free ride to school from the airport.

Uzi1900:



Hey Dee. Have you gotten a decision mail yet?

Nah, I haven't. I called ukvi yesterday, they said they were yet to access it but between yesterday and today they should..i was certain I would have gotten one by yesterday and nothing yet o. So fingers crossed for today...I would have to change my Sunday flight to Wednesday now though....smh

Oghenekevwe1:
All glory belong to God, got my visa today. Thanks to everyone here for all the information.

Congrats!

Brianchike:

Alright.congrats again

sesan14:
good morning, pls i applied for my visa 7 working days ago tier 4 stdent visa i am not sure if i submitted my letter of sponsorship/attestation/consent. Pls what do i do, trying to be calm. Pls help.

To be honest, I think all u should do right now is try to be calm and wait. There's nothing else to do till u get some feedback from them

Brianchike:
Got my visa today. The worry is over. Anyone in or going to Aberdeen university?

Congrats. Did you get a collection mail first?

Dgirl63:


Okay, thanks a lot

Dgirl63:
Guys please what does this mean:

Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward and we will be unable to decide your application within our customer service targets. We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make a decision as soon as possible.

Has anyone gotten anything like this before ?

They might have run into something they feel they need to verify or investigate deeper. If it's something they require your assistance on, I suppose they would inform u. Shouldn't be a big deal

Oghenekevwe1:
Interview last week Wednesday
Received @ Sheffield on thursday
Got decision mail today.
Waiting for collection mail.
I will testify in jesus name.

Was it priority? And where did u apply? And Amen for u!!

Smartoes:
Hello please i am still skeptical about the price of the visa application.Uk website says its 440 $ but some people are saying it 521$ from a reliable source.Please who is telling the truth because i am on the verge of payment..

For ikeja, u pay a center fee of £55 pounds that's why it's higher but everywhere else is the standard price

Smartoes:
Thank you bro.I am using diamond bank

You are welcome, i'm a girl though

Smartoes:
Bro, i mean in naira

I don't think anyone can answer you because the amount in naira depends on what bank card u use. Every bank charges different amount as there is no standard rate. My advice is to find out from ur bank the exchange rate( which might change daily by the way) so u can calculate the total ur self

carissaa:

Did you bring original documents for all of these?
Also, what center did you use?



P.S.S: Has anyone used the VI center? What was it like?

Yes I did.
I did mine in abuja

Uzi1900:


No wahala. Take it easy.

Followed u back...anyway, thanks. Let me know how it goes yeah? All the best

Uzi1900:


Tried sending you an email message. Erm it should start 14th of sept orientation n all and then I see 26th of sept and then 7th October as latest start date. Yh I paid priority but I've had a refusal before. So they could be a slight delay.

Yea I saw that....
Okay...I start on the 19th but my rent started running on the 3rd at my Accomodation so am looking to live by weekend. Would have left u my email addy here but....u know

Uzi1900:


I'm a guy.

thought so...i'm a gal...when is ur course starting and did u pay for priority?

Uzi1900:


Hahahaha nice one. I'm actually gon be living in Leeds and commuting. I already got a two bed apartment sort of up for rent. U looking to buddy up?

already got Accomodation...guy or gal??

worrisome:
Goodmorning gurus.. Although I have recieved my decision mail on Friday pending collection. But this morning I got this message from my school(University of bedfordshire) Dear Student,
I am contacting you from the University of Bedfordshire re your visa application outcome. Could you please confirm whether you received your visa, so we can update your record. Thank you in advance. what could be the meaning and the reason they sent it?

You could email back saying, you expect to get your passport back soon as you only received a decision mail on Friday and would inform them as soon as you do.

Uzi1900:


Bradford uni. Finance,accounting & management msc. How about u?

Leeds Beckett University. Law with Management LLB
So we would be practically neighbours innit?

Uzi1900:


Cheers men. Also the birth certificate and letter of consent. Is that basically a requirement as a result of ur folks being ur sponsor. Cuz I'm self funding myself. Or is that a general requirement for everyone?think you forgot to mention you sent off ur passport too?

Lol...my bad...I sent it off too. You don't need the consent letter and birth cert if u self funding...
Where u heading?! And what course?

Uzi1900:
