Please keep your faith in God,my friend is also in this shoe and his biometrics is 15th Aug ,but till now is still at DMC. Please keep believing it will end in praise.Thanks.

Amen. It must end in praise.

Biometrics was done on the 25th of August for a family of 3 (Main Applicant was Priority, Dependants were Standard Applications).

Moved to DMC on the same 25th

CAS used mail on 27th of August

Then a mail came in saying "Your UK visa application has been issued" on the 7th of this month.

But till now, when i track the 3 applications, they are still at the DMC and no further mail or anything.

So, I would like to know, how long does it take them to move it back to VAC or even get collection mail if one received "Your UK visa application has been issued" mail.

Today makes the application 12 working days

ogbenijamal1:
You should receive collection mail in 2 or 3 days ..congrats in advance

OK Chief.

I pray so o...Cos the wait period is tiring.

Poanan:
lol i am not the owner o. The guy was asking wht the mail means. So i was wondering

Thank you man. I am hopeful it shouldnt pass 2-3days as stated.

Kukujajaja:
Good morning to all.
Planning of travelling to UK with my Kid.
Do minors need international passport for traveling? At what age can a child fly without a passport. She's is just 2year.

She needs a passport. My 4 months old has his passport already

Please what does this mail mean?


Your UK visa application has been issued.


PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THE VISA APPLICATION CENTRE BEFORE THEY CONTACT YOU.


You will be contacted by the Visa Application Centre when your documents are ready for collection or have been dispatched via courier where this is relevant.


You are reminded that you should avoid making travel plans until you have collected your passport, as the outcome of your visa application is not final until you receive your passport.


Please ensure you check the details on your visa when collecting your passport. If you need to contact us you can do so via our International Enquiry Service at www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-outside-uk


Kind regards,

latinahola:
Priority?
No mail since 25th right

Sadly, none. We only got the "transferred to DMC mail" 2 days after and since then, both mail and tracking have been on standstill.

i don't know how to feel sef

latinahola:
Please

Is there no family that did priority august 27th
Ikeja here

25th here and nothing till now

ijeshaprincess:
Because the greedy Lagos state government took over the test to make extra money. So you get redirected to the recognised Lagos centres after filling the form on that same platform. That is why outside Lagos, the test is 39,500 while in Lagos it's 52,000 or thereabout!

Na wa o....So which Lab are we going to use now?

ijeshaprincess:
Why not do it in the approved clinic on the travel portal?

https://nitp.ncdc.gov.ng/onboarding/lab-directory

When I filter "Lagos", there are no centers shown.

Why is this please?

VISA ALERT! Long post o

Good morning everyone, been quite busy to pen this down.

Biometrics- july 8(standard) for me and 2 dependants
1st not straightforward mail- july 20th for myself
1st not straightforward mail- july 26th- dependants
2nd not straightforward for 3 of us- August 3rd
3rd not straightforward for myself- August 4th

Then i got a call from the Home office without notification asking if i can go on with an interview, i said yes but call dropped. I was sent a mail 35mins later scheduling me for 9th of August, 2pm. 9th came they didn’t call. Around 3:52, i saw uk missed call on my ALTERNATIVE LINE wch I tried to call back but kept bouncing back.

I sent series of paid mails and called the call centre but all responses were, you will be contacted.

Then i got another call on Friday asking if i am ok to go on with the interview, another yes and this lasted for 1hr 34mins because i gave them full/plenty points on questions asked.

By 18th of August i called and told its still awaiting a decision. I told the lady that its past 15 working days i did biometrics and i want it escalated, i told the person the type of visa i did.

20th, I received a mail from pretoria saying i was under mandatory checks and its still processing.

24th of August my dependants collection mail came wch I collected the following day.
25th, past 5pm mine entered wch I collected on friday.

I declared 4 uk visits refusal, 1 uk visits for myself
3 uk visits refusal for my dependants also.

It took them 32working days before returning my passport with visa. I was really worried, i fasted alot, praised alot(all with a sincere heart o) still prayed to God to give me a strong heart if it will be a refusal but I GIVE HIM ALL THE GLORY COS IT ENDED IN PRAISE.

I left Naija through Qatar Airways on Sunday 29th,(ticket was booked on Thursday after I collected my dependants visa) and on getting to uk border, the C.O asked, who are these beside you, i told him my daughters(1 was almost my height), asked name of my sch,course, duration, and if i have visited before and if i had any immigration problem in the past, I answered all. i was told to step asidewith my dependants for more investigation to be made. I was scared but I kept my calmness, gave my daughter my phone to send msg to her father(he stays in the UK), my sister and my pastor should incase anything comes up. I didn’t press my phone at all. And within 30mins i was released to go.

ONLY GOD’S MERCY!!!

Our visa processes differs, if there is any mistake you might have made and no how to correct it, speak to God, where one can’t reach, HIS MERCY AND FAVOUR will get there.

God will see everyone through. Aamen.

Wow!!!

Congratulations!!

kayalade123:
Na wa ooo…

So Teesside just pointed that out to me today and said I might need to get another statement for visa

why? did Teeside accept it or what ? what's the basis for this new statement of account please

DoubleN:
Hello House,

Must the POF be in the Principal Applicants account? Can't the POF be in the accompanying spouse's account?

The School we are processing is saying that the POF must be either in the Applications account or Parents account before CAS can be issued even though they are aware that the applicant is married and marriage certificate, change of name etc. have been shared with them.

Even with his guidance is stated there https://www.gov.uk/guidance/financial-evidence-for-student-and-child-student-route-applicants

Partner account can be used if in UK or accompanying.

Am I missing something here

Please which school is this?

Favouredforever:
I have been busy and cannot respond to everyone on this issue. Many thanks to those who are genuinely interested in helping and those who are not.

So, I've had a meeting with the school immigration adviser and they advise that I should go for an administrative review but not until I asked UKVI for the document(s) that they deem not genuine. The representative also mentioned that she has never seen any refusal letter where the reason for refusal is omitted. Even though it may be pointing towards POF but better not to jump into conclusion as any document could render the POF inadmissible, such as a marriage certificate etc. Because it is inconclusive and they cannot categorically say this particular document is what they have a problem with, there is a need for me to ask them for further information. I was give some things to aid in my request and all. The school is also going to come in at some point if the request is taken too long. Anyway, I will update you guys once I have further information to provide.

I wish you the very best of luck

Good day good people,

For people that have done TB, please there is a form they asked us to fill, how am I supposed to fill it for a baby without an international passport yet? It's asking for passport issue date ans expiry date

hustla:
Just got debited by stanbic for form A

Rate = ₦575.5

Stanbic HQ in VI

Was there any additional charges?

AAO7:
After submitting your visa application online, you’ll see the prompt for “provide documents & biometrics “
When you click on this, you’ll be redirected to the TLS Website where you’ll have the option of paying for TLS services like courier, sms & UKVI services like priority, etc.

After you select all the services, you’ll then select a date and then make your payment.

I hope this helps

Thank you for your response. From different messages on this thread, I am inferring that the biometric slots are kind of scarce, so I want to know if paying for a priority visa makes you get a slot or slots are independent of priority or normal visa application.

Thank you

AAO7:
I hope you’ve at least booked your biometrics.
It’s fine.
Just go ahead and book your biometrics and also upload your documents before going for biometrics. Biometric dates are scarce.
Try going to IOM to get an earlier booking

Good morning,

Please at what point does one book for Biometrics? If one does a priority visa application, will it make the applicant get a slot for biometrics?

cedar3:
Same problem here, signed in with 5 different e-mails and even twerked the last two digits of my Passport number, yet no show. Any help?

I went to their office in Lagos, it seems the website is not OK for now cos a lot of people were there also with the same complaints. Anyways, we filled a form and they gave us a date. They said we would get a mail confirming our appointment and if we didn't get any mail, we should just come on our appointed date, they would use the form we filled to cross-check our names.

hello house,

I booked for TB test for August but had to cancel when I saw a closer date but while trying to submit the new one, it kept on bouncing me, telling me my email exists in the database. Even I tried with another E-mail address and I got an error message on the email verification page. Is it possible that I have been banned or something? How can i fix this, please?

SOS Please

jamesobedbaisel:
How long do they take to issue the CAS after 20th June?

I really don't know cos i am also waiting for information
