lanrewajew: yipeee! got ma visa today!
I applied on the 30th of July and picked it up today at ikeja.
Now i see how easy the whole thing is, follow the rules to the letter and you will be given your visa. simples
thanks to Justwise and every other person that helped with needed advice and instruction.
Actually we were Three(3) that arrived the collection section at the same time, and we all got the entry clearance.
To all those waiting, if you have done the right thing then you dont need to fear or fret, just chill and pray, pray and chill.

Congrat mate! 17 working days? wow!

justwise:

That is not true at all, all applications are processed before been refused or issued a visa. You may be refused a visa after 20days or given after the same period of time.

20 working days frm 2day i§ on d̶̲̥̅̊ 20/09/2012, my CAS has 17/09/2012 as my starting date and my course starts on 24/09/2012. Are U̶̲̥̅̊ saying ϑaτ̅ i should wait and apply 4 a visa den??

hmmmmm thanks...

please justwise and co... is it true if your application hits 9 to 10 working days, there is a probability it would come out positive cos a friend argued if they gonna refuse it, they dont waste lots of time.. from your experience what do you think.. please reply.. anyone with experience.. I LOVE THIS FORUM.............GEEEZ.. all info

Well, we don't really know how the embassy does these things but the consensus from an earlier debate on this issue was that the UKBA can only confirm the authenticity of the bank statement provided or your current bank balance.

So that's why it"s safer to keep the required money till the Visa comes. if you could wait patiently for 28 days, then why not another 3 weeks ? Why shoot yourself in the foot

As it stands, the only way your friend can scale through if they check only the authenticity of the bank statement provided. if they check the current balance, he"d be refused the visa.

So since you haven't yet applied, I suggest he returns the money and keeps the required balance till his Visa comes out. That's the surest way.

Thanks Donxavier, hmmmmm ... He already submitted on the 10th of august. I pray it comes out successful

hello, i am new up here.. i have been reading all your post and i appreciate people like you guys helping out and making it easier for others through the application process. I helped a friend arrange his documents with the help of what i read here everyday. A quick question, he has everything he needs to apply, including the CAS, FUNDS and other supporting document but my fear is, he withdrew the fund from the account the day he printed out the statement and transfered it to another account, though the money is still available to him when ever he needs it but i think it contradicts the ukba policy of fund remaining in the document provided. do you think the embassy would confirm if the fund remains there or not. just want to know to ease his tension as i am his guide on this and i need to make him feel better... thanks....
