VISA ALERT

Today is finally my day to celebrate!!!
Family of 4
VISA application: October 19 -20
Biometrics: Abuja TLS October 26 (standard) (walk in for the 2 children. We couldn't get the same date for them)
Non straight forward mail: November 1st (4 of us)
Request mail for more documents: November 1st (main applicant only)
Requested documents submitted: November 4th (main applicant)
We waited for one week and nothing happened we had to send paid mail asking for progress of application.
Paid mail: November 11th
Decision mail : November 12th (about 20 hours after sending paid mail)
Dispatched from TLS on Friday 12th (same day as decision mail)
We waited anxiously for DHL to deliver but they didn't because of weekend.
We got our visas yesterday evening finally.

It wasn't an easy wait o. If you have money, pls pay for priority because High BP is real o. We endured a lot during the 3 weeks wait.
This journey started early 2020 and I have been reading this thread everyday religiously.
I must thank everyone on this forum for all the helpful contributions. I gained a lot.
My advice is for everyone to try and read far and wide, use Google a lot and ukvi sit (gov.uk) has almost all the information you require as well as your school website and course page. Don't also shy away from asking when you hit a brick wall too.

You can do everything all by yourself and it is far better because you are sure of what you submitted.

Aston University January 2022

Another piece of advice: if you come across any information you feel might be relevant to you during the process of application, screenshot and keep it in your picture gallery. It is better that way because sometimes this information may be difficult to search for when you need them most.
Over this 2 years I have over a thousand screenshots from nairaland alone.

Congratulations !!! Did you have to start your application all over again or how did you get your waec cert across to them?

Visa alert!!! Visa alert

God did it
I know it could only be God
I am that person that uploaded my degree cert instead of waec cert, as I didn’t realize on time that my CAS stated waec not degree certificate.
Despite this, God still showed up for me and my family.

Submitted VAF for me and my family on 4/11/21 (priority visa)
Did biometrics on 5/11/21
Got non straight forward mail for my dependents (husband and 2kids) on 9/11/21
Didn’t get any for myself
Got collection mail for all of us on 12/11/21
Visa granted
It can only be God

I and my husband did the application ourselves. We also opted for self upload. All the information we got was from this platform. And we r so grateful for all the valuable insight & info this platform provides. Thanks to everyone. I pray you trusting God for yours, shall share ur success story soon��

RGU here we come

Congrats ! can I Pm you?

Hallelujah.
For those that received a mail requesting for additional documents -Proof of education and employment.
No need to be worried.
My visa was approved the following day I sent the documents.
Thanks to everyone who provided information.

okay. thank you

justwise:
Evidence of that is what they want from you. Employment letter or a letter from your company will help

Thanks for the response. Stop studying since 2015, been working since 2017

justwise:
Do you have any gap is your education? I mean is there anytime that you are not working or studying?

Thanks, did provide nysc cert. and do you know if your employers were contacted?

EBUNME:
No worries. I guess it's because of the study gap.

Hi everyone, i was ask to provide additional documents by decision making center i.e Proof of employment/education from 2015(graduation) to present. has anyone else being in similar situation because a lot of people i know were not asked to provide this.
should nysc certificate be also included ? im kind of worried and nervous. anyone with similar experience should please advice. Thanks

Hi all,

is it okay to pay for priority while applying for visa now when the course start date is around January ending....or is priority only meant for people who have to travel urgently. ?

Thanks chief!

Mindlog:
As long as the discount will reflect on your CAS, you can remove the 2k from the total to be shown as POF.

Hi all,

For POF, if the university give me a 2k pounds tuition discount, can i remove the 2k from the total to be shown as POF, or must i have the original complete tuition + living expenses in my account?
