Thank you for your response, yes i do,v i even sent them complaint. I collected my passport on 13/10/2022 and the enrollment ended on 14/10/2022. The school sent me mail not to come since i didn't meet the enrollment.

So you know, I did bio aug 20, call and issue was escalated on the 12 of sept., another escalation on 4 of October. All this while, i didn't receive any NSF mail.

Please how did you got this resolved, I fall into the same category with you. I submitted my application 12th of January, biometric was done 20th of January, decision was made 23rd of January 2023. Could you believe till now UKVI are yet to return my passport back after several paid mails, they responded that there was an error on my application from there side but the error has been corrected that I will receive my passport back by 13th of march 2023. meanwhile my enrollment deadline was 12th of February 2023. My school keep telling me not to bother coming that I should defer my admission to September intake, Note the application was a priority, no nsf mail, Now how do I get my ihs refund back from UKVI? Please tell me how urs was treated. Can ukvi be sue for this?

You will definitely get your IHS fee back!

Maybe there were issues with international mail but who knows? Why would they refuse to return your passport after giving you a VISA? That is difficult one.

When does your course start?

How can I go about IHS fee refund?

AnitaofEurope:
Pls what school is that?

University of Dundee

justwise:
Your course starts on the 30th of Jan 2023 and you applied for visa on 20th of Jan 2023? Even with priority you have yourself to be blame for this.

Arrange with your school to push your admission to Sept, you will not be able to get IHS refunded because your application was successful

What led to the delay is IOM results, IOM delayed the TB test certificate for more than 10 weeks before they release it and school was aware of all this delay. The same week the IOM TB certificate was released is the week I applied for the Visa. My issue is priority is usually 5 working days to get the decision and also return the passport back to TLS, so why was the passport delayed even till now it has not been return back to me. Can I sue UKVI for this?

bigtt76:
Ok ...write them a strong mail, copy UKVI and TLS

Will it work? UKVI are yet to release the passport but hopefully next week they will release it

bigtt76:
Which school is that? Have you received your passport now? Truth is most of the schools don't understand what it takes to apply for visas and because they saw your BRP, they probably believed you are the one stalling on resuming. The issue too may be a TLS one, they are so tardy when it comes to managing passport returns.

University of Dundee

bigtt76:
Did you carry your school along during the wait? Sad really

Yes, I carry them along, and I have been receiving lectures online and yet they told me not to come any more

dduchess90:
Hello

So sorry you are going through this

Can I ask what steps you took to contact UKVI/TLS besides going their physically and asking for your passport

If you intend to sue you have to have enough trail as evidence to show you have chased this

2.can you appeal with your Uni to allow you resume online pending when this is resolved

3. Because a decision was made/ visa granted you won't be getting your IHS back, again this will depend on the evidence you have and how far you are willing to take this up legally


An immigration lawyer might be of help

Cheers

I have done several paid mails, have been to UK embassy in Walter Carrington, have written to them, my school have also write them. The paid mail keep extending the date for me, and right now my school told me not to bother coming again. Right now I am so tired and all hope has been lost. How can I get my IHS refund, can the visa be transfer to September intake, also how do I get immigration lawyer that can help me to sue UKVI. The paid mail is not helping at all, what they are after is the money they wanted to charge you for using them. Please I need help.

Good afternoon famz,

I am going through alot of mental stress right now, UKVI has really dealt with me so badly without committing any crime. I applied for a student visa, priority to be precise, bio was done on 20th of January, decision was made on 23rd January and I got BRP mail on 26th of January but could you believe that since then ukvi refused to send my passport back to TLS for collection, I have been battling with this for long, I keep going to IKEJA TLS but the truth is even the so called TLS are not ready to help and now my school told me not to bother coming again even if my passport is return back to me. Right now I want to ask, can ukvi be sue and also how can I request for my IHS refund? Please house help me

When i was living alone in one bedroom house my water bill was £16 a month with no meter but now family of 4, bigger property, the same water company, the same post code area and my bill is £24 a month with meter.

Though i think you are right regarding the usage factor, i just logged on to my online account to check our usage and i saw this: You are a super water saver. Let's keep working together

MrDetermined:
Sorry but my question is;

Having arrived the UK to study a 3 years degree course and plans changed, now he wishes to drop out of university and Change his visa from tier 4 to tier 2 (which will enable him work)

My question is if it'll be possible to drop out of university and then switch his visa to working visa? and reside in the UK because he has no plans to return back to Nigeria for now.


The truth is that he used study route to japa.

Thank you.

You people have started ruining things for others, since you know your plan from the beginning you should have applied for tier 2 visa from Naija now u won change visa status and if multiple disciples follow u do the samethin una go spoil things for other people projecting to go to UK for studies

Hafeez6948:
I was trying to watch a movie on my phone just to distract myself from IRCC delay when i suddenly fell asleep with one side of my face on the pillow. Awhile later i woke suddenly to hear my heart pounding as if it was located at the back of my ear. I rushed to my dad's room to use his Bp machine to check and behold my Bp don rise. I am a 25 years old guy i no deserve all this mental stress wey IRCC dey give me ooh. Today makes it 5 months and 5 days since i applied, i have missed May intake and September is just around the corner. When i write to them ,they will tell me to withhold from writing further. Na student visa i apply for abi na for days of unending misery and pain. I am trying to be strong Aswear. To anyone in similar situation as mine may God give us the strength to see this journey through.

It will end in praise in Jesus Mighty Name Amen

Either option. It depends on what you want though it is sometimes better for the main applocant to come first to sort accommodation and the likes.
If your dependants don't mind the initial stress of settling in, then nothing says that you cant come at the same time.

Thanks for your prompt response, really appreciate it.

DuBooVay:
Yes. Me my husband, my son and all our kaya entered uk same day

Thanks for your prompt response, really appreciate it.

Feyeemi:
Absolutely. Your Dependent can apply together with you and enter the UK together with you

Thanks for your prompt response, really appreciate it.

mimilyrics:
Pardon the confusion. Must here is relative - it was used to convey the importance of the situation. I should have typed "should ideally" since this is advisory.

The dependant won't have access to "free" (subsidised) NHS services since IHS is not paid for visas that are 6 months or less. What if something happens and your dependant needs healthcare? The bill might be crippling and end up being more than the yearly IHS.

Also, coming too close to when the main applicant puts in an application for the graduate visa might raise flags as to the timing. You need to have lived together for some time before the application - this shows genuineness and doesn't come across as arranged. Coming few weeks to the visa end date might raise some doubts around being genuinely married except there are genuine reasons for this.

If you plan to arrive less than 6 months to the end of the main applicant's visa and for some reason, UKVI delays your application or other circumstances beyond your control happen, it means that you might not arrive before your partner has to put in an application for the graduate visa which may see you living without your partner for the better part of 2 years, in the absence of a work visa. If you're not in the UK as a dependant prior to the application, you won't be able to apply as a dependant.

Some HRs also don't have a strong grip of immigration rules and it might be difficult to get a job (if you want one as a dependant) because 1. You don't have a BRP (even with BRP, some of them still errorneously delay employment checks because it's not a situation that they are used to and 2. The short duration on the visa might deter some employers (the ones who will employ you will do so irrespective of the hurdles).

So to avoid stress and plenty "explanations" or last minute issues, better to join earlier.

Please note that each application is different and is subject to the ECO's discretion.

My question is, can your dependants go together with you and enter UK together with you, or you will first go and they will come and join you?

Good morning house, someone ask me a question though i have no answer to it but i believe this great room members will have answer to such question. The question is that the person has MBA in National Open University and is seeking PGD program in Canada, he want to know is chance of visa issuance, is there any academic progression in this?

jpride:
Please I need your objective criticism or advice on this: My bank blocked my account because it received more than it's limit, hence I was asked to upgrade. That long process prompted me to seek loan of just 10k from Sokoloan to pay back 19k. On the last day of the loan I pleaded to pay 10k and pay the rest in 3 days time because my account was still blocked. I paid the 10k. The next day they started sending sms to me threatening to alert my contacts. I pleaded to wait for the next 2 days which is my salary pay day, she was so rude and blatantly refused. I made effort and raised the 9k to pay them. After that, they started telling me of late payment fee of 1100 naira. I told her I'm koboless, I'll pay when I get my salary in 2 days time as I'm unable to withdraw from my Fidelity account. The next day, my photo along with degrading sms went viral. Virtually all my contacts got the sms. Because of the sms, I decided not to pay the 1100 naira again. I see this as total unprofessionalism.
Now I want to take legal action as backed by my family and friends. I need your advice before I proceed. Do I stand in favour of the court?

They are so demonic, you need to take action on them, if you know how you can do that. i was once a victim of the app and they sent a degrading message to all my contact that almost cost me my job and led to fight between me and my elder brother because in their message content its says i used them as a guarantor for the loan. I was blackmail because of N800.
