litterbug:
Congrats

JKilz:
Congratulations Sir. God is worthy of our praises.

Naijaforeigner:
Congrats, thank God.

Am suspecting this too, its obvious their database for June- August applications have crashed ,mayb that was their reason for the frequent maintenance around that period. cos its not sensible holding up to applicants of June - August and replying to those that applied September and October. There is something fishy they are not disclosing... If their database have crahsed, they should just give everybody that applied from May -Ausgut approval since the fault is from them.. Am seriously suspecting those people..

Hello Nairalanders,

I join my faith in prayers with everyone who is still waiting ( my hubby inclusive), praying and fasting for an approval for our visas.
Heavenly father i put you in remembrance regarding your word in Mathew 17 vs 20. ''Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

I command the heavens of the blessings of our awaited testimony be opened.
Dear Lord, let your mercy and grace prevail over our applications In Jesus Mighty name.

Amen.

Have a week filled with blessings and testimony.

goingforward.

Hello My People,I received my approved TRV/stamped passport today at VFS office,Lekki,Lagos.

I've been a quiet follower of this thread.I stumbled on it after submitting my study permit application.I must confess some assertions made on this forum made me want to lose confidence in my application and made me leave my fate in the hands of Jehovah as my only Advocate.For instance,a member of this forum stated education loan cannot fly and while another member affirmed that Fixed Deposit Certificates as proof of funds is a no-no.

My Timeline
Paper application at VFS Lekki Lagos.... 18th April,2018
Linked my application online....5th May,2018
Medical Call....8th May,2018
Medical Done.... 9th May 2018
Medical updated as passed on my online account...18th May,2018
Contacted by my school (UBC) to give consent to confirm my acceptance and release my personal details(student number,date of birth,program,program start and end dates,etc) to CIC....8th June 2018....I consented immediately.
My online account started reading Account/Profile Updated..... 21st June 2018
Within minutes,my online account started reading 'New Message' (no longer Account/Profile Updated).... 21st June,2018
Yet and even uptil now my online account was and is still reading 'Your application is in progress','we are reviewing whether you meet eligibility requirements....We are processing your background check' (even after collecting my stamped passport...this shows the website is having issues).Even the 'new message' does not open for me to see the details.
Contacted by VFS to pick up my processed passport at Lekki.....25th June,2018
Visited VFS to pick up my approved TRV/Stamped passport.... 26th June,2018.

To all TRV hopefulls,it will end in praise.Keep on keeping on!!!Now i can sleep very well and plan ahead...What a big relief!!!
