Edunrybaba:


Jan 11 ikj TLS. I didn't send any paid mail, but someone I know sent the mail and he later got NSF. To reprint his POF and provide employment letter.

Any 11th Jan VI sent paid mail?

Please ask your school to follow up if you haven’t. This is one of the reasons why I wouldn’t advise keeping passport while visa is processed, they will end up wasting your precious time. I hope you get it soon.

BolaT53:
I don’t even know what to do or Say. Biometrics since 17th of December . Decision made on the 7th of January BRP received by my school on the 12th till today my application is still on DMC several paid calls and e-mails nothing has been done so far. Several trips to TLS and British high commission still nothing.

This letter looks edited, why does the area around 14days look weird, different fonts and everything.

Opaslim24789:


Biometric Nov 3 ….Refused � �…I never collect my passport ooo since last week Wednesday

Jan 11 here too. Fingers crossed.

Edunrybaba:


I have not seen any approval or response to any January applications at all. I'm also January 11 ikj. Let's see how week plays out by God's grace it shall end in praise

Exactly. Going for studies is a means for migration, everyone knows this, the UK knows this.

Mannymanny:

Lol, while you’re right you think 95% going for studies especially those that go with their whole family intend to come back home?

canadaishome:
I've said this before and will say it again just as few other people have stated.
Pleaseeeeeeee
Have a PLAN when you are coming to the UK. Don't just plan for visa application only.
In our online induction today, a Nigerian had the audacity to ask the lecturer why the lectures are Mondays to Thursdays and how are they expected to work and pay balance of school fees?

It was so embarassing. That kind question is for "inside house"
Let's conduct ourselves properly in front of outsiders abeg else UK might start doing what Germany does with blocked accounts.

Abeg oooo

Did you try this, are they good?

uulove:


This is quite expensive. Day 2 and 8 tests cost just £15 with vivo clinic. You can book it from UK gov website.

I think you’re good to go.

BolaT53:
Good evening everyone.

My course start date is 17th that’s for induction but classes start 24th. I plan on traveling on the 27th because of the timing of me getting my passport back though. My schools last day of enrollment is 4th of February and can extend to 18th of February for students with serious visa issue situations. Hope I won’t have any issues with the immigration when I’m traveling.

For real? even for the unvaccinated?

kennykale:
if it is a direct flight to the uk but if you are transiting through other countries you will need the covid test

Amen, just hang tight.

jonsnow92:
I'm really tired.
I hope to get next week.
They aren't even saying any reason for the delay.

They've still not given you? Nawa o, lots of Nigerians got CAS yesterday and today.
This is ridiculous. I hope you get soon.

jonsnow92:
Good Morning Guys

Please has any other person gotten CAS from Coventry University?

Which kind enemies of progress be these ones naa.

Even if you check in the cream?

olutimehindare:
I just got to UK yesterday, Ulster University Nothern Ireland. Everything was smooth and okay. If you are flying through British Airways, dont carry any liquid. If your cream is more than 100ml, don't carry also.
If you are going to nothern ireland, don't carry powdered milk.
And at the UK border, i was never asked to show bank app, maybe they asked others, i don't know

Congratulations! This was not a small warfare, I can’t imagine the emotional distress you went through, good luck in your UK endeavors.

OluAjo:
Hello Everyone,

This will be quite a long read.
Collection Mail: 13th January, 2022.
Visa Granted!

I applied for student visa August 2020 but it was refused because my CAS was cancelled by the University.
I called the University to tell them I couldn't meet the resumption date since I had not gotten my Visa and I was informed I'd be deferred to January 2021.

I called the UKVI to inform them that my CAS had been cancelled and the lady on the phone asked if I wanted to withdraw my application. I told the lady that the withdrawal will take a while before I get my passport back but I'm okay with a refusal so I can get my passport back immediately.

Two days later, I was refused but I wasn't bothered so I reapplied with priority in November 2020 so as to avoid the long processing time.

I was scheduled for a phone interview on the 5th day and I answered all the questions but I was refused.

The reasons given were blatant lies saying I didn't know much my fees was and didn't know what my sponsor did for a living.

I applied for AR and it was refused, did PAP - the refusal was upheld.

I proceeded to Judicial Review then the lies were upgraded to "the applicant states NEVER to return back to Nigeria."
The Judge asked the recording of my phone interview be presented the following week.

By the following week, the transcript of the phone interview shown I clearly stated how much my fees was and what my sponsor did for a living. No where was it stated that I'd never come back to Nigeria. Instead I said it was my plan to return back to Nigeria to open a Consultancy firm.

The representative for the Home Office reached out to the Barrister representing me and myself asking to settle outside court.
The Barrister asked if I was okay with a settlement, I said Yes but wanted them to pay all the cost I incurred during the JR process and a new decision to be made.

It was agreed and signed.

July 2021, a new CAS was requested for September 2021. I was asked to provide it within a week.

The University took a while to reply, before they provided a new CAS I was refused again. I WAS LIVID. I sent the Home Office an email telling them I'd follow it up to JR and this time THERE WOULD BE NO SETTLEMENT OUTSIDE COURT.

I applied for AR and it took 3 months before it was successful.
I got several emails of apologies and passport was requested for November 10.

I submitted my passport 10th November, 2021.
Collection email: 13th January, 2022.

This journey started August, 2020.

Congrats

Many thanks to everyone for sharing their advice and experiences. It has been a very long journey for her and an exhausting experience. Those of you who applied to Teesside can attest to this.

Goodluck Everyone.

I don’t see how that would be possible.

OluAjo:
Sigh,
It has been 7 weeks.

There's a possibility I'll miss my enrolment and resumption date.
The University is telling me to defer till September if I don't resume on time.
I'm just wondering if I can travel to the UK even though I've deferred till September.
Will I be allowed to stay in the UK for 6 months without studying?

Yes I have.

Seun67890:

Spanishmario:

Yet to get clarification on somethinh. For the tuition fees, am I expected to pay all before traveling or a certain percentage as designated by the school.

Thanks

Pay all if you can, you don’t know the next policy CBN could come up with.

Nigerian rep ke? I always called the international office +44 24 7765 2152

jonsnow92:
Thank you..I have been mailing and calling, please can you help with the numbers you call as well because its like the Nigerian Representatives are not in the know of what's going on..Each time I call they say i should keep mailing Coventry more like there's nothing they can do from here.
Is it a UK line you call? If yes, please help with the line.
Thanks.

Thank you. I really cannot say when exactly cos mine took time, just call and mail them every other day. Make it clear to them that you do not want to be deferred. Good luck.

jonsnow92:
Ah
Congratulations.
Visafunds sent me a mail yesterday saying my bank statement has been approved, does that mean I should get my CAS very soon?

My god. This can’t work for me.

tobbyabk:
