Good morning everyone. Thank you for all the support here so far.

I'm not sure if this has been addressed in previous posts, but... I just did my biometrics yesterday. Please when and how could I be informed if there'll be an interview?

By mail.

Thank you for applying for a UK visa. Your visa application has been received and is under consideration. We aim to process non settlement applications within 15 working days (unless you have opted for the Priority Visa service), and settlement applications within 120 working days.

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.

We will write to you again if there is any change to this. Please do not attend the Visa Application Centre until you have been advised that your application has been decided and that your passport is ready for collection.

Kind Regards,

UK Decision Making Centre

There’s nothing more to do than wait patiently. Hopefully your application is decided soon.

Afternoon all. Please premasters feb - April (3months) then the masters starts September that is 4-5 months break. (1year masters) how much IHS am I suppose to pay?
2 I heard standard chartered dollar card can’t pay for more 6k dollars per month. Thinking of using UBA prepaid dollar card.
Thank you all

Use the IHS calculator to figure the amount you’re to pay.

Either go to the first page of this thread to get the link or type IHS on google and get redirected to the calculator.

danzolla32:
Pls the self service option to upload my documents not pop in option only assisted service am seen, Pls what can I do ?

Adonisenny:

Distinguish Gloria,

I and my Main applicant had our biometrics on Nov 2. She got a brp mail exactly 2 weeks after biometrics and a passport collection mail a day after. I on the other hand got a brp mail 3 weeks after(Nov 24) but till now, no passport collection mail. I have called and done the paid mail thing but to no avail. I got the Sheffield escalation mail on Monday but till now nothing has changed. I am thinking of visiting the TLS center, do you think it is a good idea?

Escalation takes 15working days, just give it time.

ourhumanity:
Please help with the email address.

visa.abudhabi@fcdo.gov.uk
brpletterrequests@fcdo.gov.uk

Try any of the above. Don’t forget to include your name, GWF number and passport number to the body of the mail.

ourhumanity:
House,

Thanks to all.
Passport received with 3 months vignette visa. No BRP mail. Please do I need to send an email for that?

I appreciate @Gloriyah @duchess and all other contributors advice and encouragement.

Congratulations, you can send a mail requesting for your BRP letter.

danzolla32:
Pls guru, is it same format of counting my 28days POF maturity I will follow for assisted service for document uploading ? Or my 28day must cover the day of biometrics/assisted service ? Urgent pls confusion ..

There’s no rule stating this. Printout a statement that covers 28days or more and take along with you on the day of your appointment.

dirxpensive:
No, I paid for IHS on the 6th of December, MY POF is 33,677£.
When I started my POF I only needed 17.6m Naira and I had 18m Naira in my bank statements, As at today POF required is 18.250M Naira.

Try paying some part of your tuition to reduce your required funds, that’s the only solution I can think of or you add more funds and counting all over again then amend your appointment to a later date.

@dduchess90
@Gloriyah and all

I was given conditional offer at Salford to pay 5500GBP.
I was asked to pay via flywire at cbn rate.
How can I make this payment to enjoy the rate without sourcing from black market.

Thank you.

Through form A.

dirxpensive:
Please I need help concerning mY POF, OANDA rate has made my POF to increase by 260,000 Naira and my biometric is on Monday. Has any one experience this kind of issue and Visa was approved.?

When you paid for visa/IHS , was the rate within the amount in your account??

If yes, there’s nothing to be worried about.

meljoe:
I want to pick it up , it was sent to the school , I’m confused on if the school will be open by the time I arrive in the Uk

When is your arrival date??
You can also confirm from your school you know, call and ask.

meljoe:
Oh I already have the France visa now , my family will be in France so I want to meet them there for the holidays

So I’m asking is it possible to get my brp from the school ( because of the holidays ) so I can meet them up there or I can use the Uk visa ?

If you’re going to the UK, why not just pickup your BRP, why wait till you’re back….!!!

naxclimpsey:


The CV I submitted was only for admission application not for Visa as I am still waiting for admission. I submitted reference letter from my NYSC place of work. Is it necessary I submit CV when applying for a VISA? Thanks for your swift response

Cv isn’t necesssry for visa application.

cuzomba:


I haven’t submitted the application yet. Please assist

Have you paid for visa and IHS?
If yes, there’s no going back except you want to withdraw your application.

sotaba:
@dduchess90 Let's imagine this scenario


November 2022: Main Applicant applied as single. Used POF of 9m (tuition bal. + Maintenance)
June 2023: Get married and spouse decide to join as dependant

1. Is she required(and able) to submit another POF during application?
2. If yes in whose account and How much?

1. No. But if she still has some tuition left to pay, they might request for her bank statement.

cuzomba:
This accommodation part in visa application is kinda confusing.

Please, are these my answers correct?

You’ve submitted the application I guess…..!!! So there’s no need stressing over your answers.

mainstreets:
Hello Duchess,

God bless you for your good works.

Can I use my SOA generated from my bank app. It's already stamped and signed online.

I want to do this cos the branch is far from where I stay. Hope I am safe?

Thanks.

There’s no difference between the one gotten from your mobile banking bank/ the one gotten from the bank. Use it.
