Anitaamich:
August applicants are being handled by ukvi Sheffield while September applicants are sent to ukvi Pretoria. I guess there’re not much backlogs in Pretoria, that’s why theirs is faster.

Lawrence6:
And no phone call or email?Lol

Mattocoinzz:
Visa approved! I did my biometrics on 8th of September. Who is going to University of Reading here? More visas for us all. AMEN.

DareFadi:
Does that mean you don't trust this comment you posted below if you are uncomfortable and scared ? ..... if you dont then why post it as others might read it , taking it as gospel truth and submit early which can lead to rejection.

dami24:
My dear, I think the house has already advised that you be positive and hope for the best. Some others have even said that you have nothing to worry as you have the 28days covered.

Besides, if you cancel your application, you will not get a refund because you have already done biometrics.

So just relax and wait for the outcome.

Lawrence6:
Good morning everyone,
Pls can anyone who did walk in on Friday 11th sept pls brief us on update so far pls.

TheGuyFromHR:
This is unfortunately not in line with the rules.
You should have submitted and paid for your application any day after your 28 day count ended ( 6 September in your case).
Just hope it's overlooked.

If I cancel my application , and resubmit, I guess the statement is still valid or do I need to put another money in the bank ? My statement says from August 8 to September 6 and I applied September 5 And did walk in September 9th at VI. so from the response I have gotten here , it seems the statement stayed for only 27days instead of 28th.

So the guru in the house should advise me if I should cancel and submit again and I go would need to leave the money in the bank again for another 28days

inphoenix:
Never attribute to "discretion" what could very well be an "error", afterall, as you noted, the ECOs are human who make mistakes - which is the only reasonable explanation for why that someone, according to you, could have successfully used a statement "way before" the 28 day maturity.

It has been rightly noted here that the UKVI uses the tickbox approach in decision making, so it is in the applicant's interest to abide by guidelines in order to avoid stories that touch.

fatima04:
That is not being disputed because I saw same and abide by same. Just trying to correct the insinuation that kinwin was lying.

Lawrence6:
Which statement did you use in getting your CAS?

brainz360:
Cancel if you can and start afresh for your own peace of mind.

Lawrence6:
You really don't need to worry,i printed my statement from 4th of aug till 1st of Sept, it was same statement i used for my CAS too and i submitted my application on the 6th of sept but except i am not understanding i am pretty sure you are safe cos you have extra 15/30 days to use that particular bank statement.

fatima04:
The days do indicate 28days so I believe you should be fine. All the best.

fatima04:
Seen several cases as well of it being approved. It actually made me assume the date of biometrics is deemed your application date.

In any case better to be safe than sorry.

inphoenix:
What matters in the 28 day count is the start date (August 8 ) and the online submission date (September 5) That's 28 days dear. It's a close one, but you're covered

inphoenix:
A little far-fetched in my opinion too.

inphoenix:
Don't you think this is a little too extreme?

@kinkwin Put your mind at rest as @Lagosismyhome rightly noted, your dates are clear 28 days so no need to worry.

amaeve:
Have you heard about Grace dear? There’s no need to be worried, just pray, be positive and be patient.

mattfeuter:
Highly doubt this . . .

How is this even possible ?

What would be the date of application?

How will the ECO count back the 28 days of funds being held if your “person” didn’t wait before applying for visa ?

LagosismyHome:
This covers 28 days ...Aug 8 to sept 4 or 5th so maybe you should be fine although cutting it close. But i cant say for sure as it always good to leave one or two days allowance

Next time if unsure then ask or clarify before not after .... after is medicine after death

dami24:
I think you should have waited atleast one more day. You may or may not be safe.

From my calculation, you statement shows only 27days before your application and not 28th ie counting from 9th.

But if ukvi includes 8th in their counting, then you should be safe.

You have already submitted I guess so no need crying over spilled milk. Just hope for the best.

Cheers

LagosismyHome:
I dont think this is the proper way to do this....if your 28 days ends sept 3rd . You must wait till that day to submit online.

If you submit 1st of September then that not very wise regardless of what bank details you print . You really should wait until your 28days is complete before you submit an application. .... surely you could have waited for 2 to 3 days

They do but they do not tell them if it’s a yes or no straight out but it is inferred sometimes through tone.

shawlar:
It might be an issue, although it’s just a slight possibility the ECO could think he has lost his job and is planning to jaapa. �
Why doesn’t he just wait until he is paid before applying? So as not to leave anything to chance?
