Hello@justwise

Thanks for your advice. May I ask you a few more questions through email?

justwise:
Ok so declare all the visa refusals, you got no choice, visa refusal is not the prob, the prob comes when people are not honest about it

Hello@justwise

For the US nonimmigrant B1/B2 visa application, refusals under section 214(b).
For the Schengen France short stay visa refusals, 'There are reasonable doubts as to your intention to leave the territory of the Member states before the visa expires.'

justwise:
Why did they refused you visa to those two countries?

For those who are yet to travel, please ensure you download your share code and save it, also ensure your PoF is intact because you might be asked to open your app. Some students were sent home two days ago at the airport, so pathetic!

Hello@Feyisharah

Big thanks for your message.

Feyisharah:
It is one way ticket you will book

Hello@Everyone

I am going for a one-year Master's program. Should I book a one-way ticket or a round-trip ticket?

...

mrphysics:
Was this recently? I mean the time you made this booking?

...

Dottune:
I think in your cover letter, you should acknowledge your previous issuance and explain the reason why you did not use at the time, so that you can present a case as to why you'll use it this time and assure them that you'll travel.

...

On the same day I did my biometrics, I received notification that a decision had been made. Then, on the third day after my biometric appointment, I received an email confirming that my visa was successful.

FactBoyz:
Okay. Was it after paid email? That you got the decision made or was it the visa successful email?

YES

Innookafor1:
Did the decision email you received say visa is SUCCESSFUL before you created your UKVI account to link your e-visa?

...

donpata:
Wow that's great. Pls which scholarship is that? What field of study?

I received an email notification of a decision, but it did not include a link to my e-visa. I created my account directly on the UKVI website to link it.
I have been to this VFS website to access my e-visa. https://visa.vfsglobal.com/ita/en/gbr/news/eVisas-digital-immigration-system

FactBoyz:
Please did you receive visa alert email before attempting to link. Did paid email last week and paid call today and they both said a decision has been made

It took me two days to attempt the process with my Samsung Galaxy A16 LTE. When I borrowed an iPhone 15 from my family, the process was smooth and it took no more than 10 minutes to successfully link and receive my e-visa.

liberallatty:
Good day house.
Anyone who have linked up his/her evisa should please suggest phone that can work for scanning the chip on Nigerian passport. I have used iPhone 13 pro but still didn't work. Any phone recommendations pls. Or if there is any guide, I will appreciate.

Submitted on August 19. I have not received any update from TLSContact Lagos and my travel date has already passed.

miharbi01:
Submitted 18th August and haven’t gotten feedback yet.

Hello@Everyone

I have been trying to create my UKVI account to link or get my e-visa but I am unable to receive the SMS from UKVI.
What other options should I try ?

Hello@Ghost0925

Have you received any update on your application from TLS contact Victoria Island, Lagos ?

Ghost0925:
Anyone who submitted on Aug 20 here, haven’t heard from the TLS contact yet

Hello@haymoneyszn

Thank you for the update.
Good idea, I will keep you updated on any information received from UKVI.

Hello@haymoneyszn

Thanks for your response.
They insisted that I must pay ₦48k for courier service for my passport, which hasn't been delivered yet.
I have only received an email confirming submission of my application to UKVI.
Have you received emails from UKVI?
Fingers crossed🤞

haymoneyszn:
i did my biometrics this morning too and i paid for priority. i also got a message to come and pick my passport back. i think they are returning the passport because it's an e-visa and doesn't need visa stamping

Hello@Everyone

Please, what does this mean? I had my biometrics appointment this morning. I paid for priority service, but not for super priority service.

Hello@Cashmadam

Ok, thanks for your response.

Cashmadam:
Yes, you can

Hello@josh4me

Thanks a lot.

josh4me:
You can simply open a Chipper Cash account, buy a virtual usd card (you don't need to create a usd account to get one, and it can be funded with Naira). Once you open the Chipper Cash, buy the card (I think it should be $5 for the visa card), but just know that you are funding the card at black market rate. For the Grey, you need to have an approved USD account with them (this might take time to get), so I suggest using Chipper Cash.

To use revolut, you need a friend (a trusted one o) in the UK to help create a disposable GBP card on his or her revolut bank app and send you the details. You'd send the person Naira to fund the account and then make payments with the details he gives you.

Hello@Everyone,

I am in urgent need of an answer: Can I pay THE UK VISA APPLICATION FEE with my GTBank Naira Mastercard?

Hello@owenizes

Can I pay IHS and Visa fee with my Naira Master card?

owenizes:
You pay for priority on the VFS Global website. Just after you have paid for your IHS and Visa fee you will be redirected to the VFS Global website where you can pay for it.

Hello@josh4me

Could you please guide me on how these works, Grey virtual card or the Chipper Cash card and Revolut, what if I don't have a dollar account?
Thank you.

josh4me:
Try using grey virtual card or chipper cash card (these are the cards that worked for me. Or if you have someone that uses revolut, that one should work also.

Hello@Everyone,

I made a mistake on my UK student visa application. Can I cancel it and submit a new one?
I haven’t paid the IHS fee yet.

Hello@Everyone

What points should I include in my Statement of Purpose for a UK student visa?
Thank you.

Hello@doublestar21

I wasn't aware that I could upload it; my institution's agent didn't inform me.
I already plan to pay for super priority processing.
Thanks for your help.

doublestar21:
You are supposed to upload it earlier as there is a space for it. Some schools will just decide to give you precas interview because of that.

But the most important thing now is that ur cas is under processing. With the volume of applications going on, I will advise you to book priority if you have the money as there are lots of pending applications before you. Few late July applications are still pending. A lot of people who applied early August are yet to get decision.

So ur best bet is to go for priority visa (my thoughts though)
