Congrats.... We are in the same boat. I have sent a message to my vac and they apologized and said they would get back to me but I haven't received any other mail. However my school said if I can't change it here they would help me when I arrive that is if my BRP still has that error. So right now I am on a sit down and look at ukvi Nigeria.

Hello everyone,

Please does anyone know about the priority visa?
I want to be sure I'll pay for it at the embassy in Abuja since I didn't see the payment option online.

thanks

You can pay for Priority Visa for the TLS Centre Abuja. However, they don't accept cash payments. You have to pay online. Go to https://uk.tlscontact.com/ng/ABV/index.php . Then create an account. After you've created the account, Click on Added Value Services and you'll see which ones you want to pay for. At that stage, it doesn't list Tier 4 as a category that is eligible for Priority Visa. But it doesn't matter. You can go ahead to choose it .It will add the services you want to your cart and then you checkout. You can pay with any card.

After you've paid, you will receive a confirmation email. Print the confirmation email and take it with you to the TLS Centre in Abuja. At the first desk, they will ask if you paid for any services. Tell them you paid for Priority and show them the confirmation email. They are supposed to give you a green file bag. Everybody's file bag is red. but Priority File bag is Green.

I hope it helps.

Hello everyone,

Please I want to find out if a letter from from my bank stating that the funds has been in my account for 28 days is required.

My appointment is tomorrow and I just printed my account statement. I didn't do any transaction on the account for the 28 day period. So the statement is just about one-eighth of a page. I hope this won't be a problem?

Thanks

If i remembered correctly what was confirmed then was that your application is not complete until you submit at the visa centre and give your biometric details.

So I can make the payment for the visa application now, book the appointment and all as long as the appointment date is after the 28th day period.

because the 28th day period for me ends on 17th of August and I was thinking that I'll book my appointment on the 18th

I can remember we confirmed the changes about this a few months ago. The person in question sent UKBA an email, which they replied that the submission date is (now) the date of application as applicants could no longer pay at the visa centre

bidosko:
it is still acceptable dat way.

Please I'm confused o. the Tier 4 guidance notes states that the funds must be in your account for a minimum of 28 days before the date of your application. The date of your application is the day you make the payment for the visa application fee. I understand this to mean that you can only pay for the visa after the 28 day period.

this new information by @bidosko is confusing. Please clarify

Hi everyone,

Please can someone explain the procedure at the TLS centre.

When I book my appointment, can I also book a time slot or is it that when I get there I'll join the queue of people who got there before me?

Plus if I book for my appointment and pay for my IHS before I pay the Visa application fee, does it mean that the date of my application will be affected? I wanna do this because the 28 day period for me ends on 17th August and I wanna book 19th August for my appointment date

Hi guys,

The Priority Visa Service says a decision will be made in 4 to 5 working days. I would like to know if it applies to peak periods of visa applications , like say, end of August.
