I have answered this question before you are not listening that is all. Review of eligibility is almost never started and it goes back to pending. Possibly a few of your documents needed to be further vetted and it went back to that department. I know some people here told you that it is a glitch that will correct itself within a few days. That it has not corrected itself after one week tells you something else.

Nigerians always look desperate?

I’d be damned if you haven’t lived anywhere else, or God forbid stepped foot out of Nigeria. ...This is deep and LOUD

Paying fees in my opinion isn’t desperation, it’s putting to rest the VO doubts about your financial capability to pay your fees.

Insufficient fund is a valid condition for visa refusal! Paying your full tuition most times makes you invisible to this visa refusal condition.

It’s not that deep.

Everyone should package his/her visa application whichever way he/she feels is best and stop forcing questionable opinions on others.

Naijaforeigner:
God I am so happy.

Naijaforeigner:
Guys I just got my request letter.

I can’t believe this. God is the greatest. I will get back to you guys shortly.

Why paying school fee when u never get your visa.
Fee payment doesn't guarantee approval.
It even looks desperate to some VO

kpizzle:
I suspect people are hoarding information and only coming out with the true picture after been approved. Well, we can't fault them since it is to their prerogative to share or not but I think it will be beneficial to be open and reduce the brain work the gurus are doing.

shegxyt:
Thanks Doyenrey.

Documents Submitted:
- Applicants CIC forms (although omission and mistakes in the section: tuition fees, room & board and funds available for my stay)
- Uncle's account statement ($24K) and financial support letter
- Friend's Company account statement (N86m) and financial support letter
- University Admission deposit receipt ($500) and online application payment receipts ($145 this year & $130 few years back)
- Retirement Savings Account statement (N2.3m)
- My Registered Company CAC Document

Supporting Documents:
- LOE
- Educational Certificates (Nigeria & UK)
- Marriage Certificate
- CV
- Employment Letters
- Just 2 Payslips (last year Nov & Dec from foreign country...couldn't get others)
- Resignation Letter
- Current & Old passports with travel history (Good travel history to about 12 countries several times without issues - passport filled up before expiry)

Observation: Does the CIC come for physical background checks? The house I reside now is my personal building and I forgot to include the document in the application but It was used in the registered company as office address. About 2 people came to the house shortly when my status changed to "Background checks is in progress" to ask my wife questions.

It shall ALL end in praise for those waiting IJN. Amen.
Note that "Waiting time is not a wasting time" Pray and seek for God's favour in your waiting time!!!

Biakwa:

sisikemo:
For those who have done medicals, or if you have any idea on how much medicals cost at Children's Practice or Q-life, please I'll like to know, and also which is better.
Thank you.

chisiudeh:
Like must they see every Nigerian as a ticking time bomb??

Naijaforeigner:
I got it bro, there is no way we can meet yh day date cos even when we get the visa, we still need to submit passport.

I will send them a mail tomorrow asking for at least 2 weeks extension. If they cannot do that, let them return my money.

chisiudeh:

jnyuwa02:
You need to write the school and tell them that due to the backlog in visa processing in Nigeria, you need an exception to the rule to allow a little bit more time for the High Commission to finish processing your application.

jnyuwa02:
This is not correct! The embassy has all the info they need from the IRCC form the school sends you to apply for visa. They almost always never contact a school for these information. They have these info also from the forms you have filled. The school doesn’t know whether you are approved or denied visa until you tell them.

Lagos2canna:
If the embassy is about to approve your study visa they normally send mail to the school confirming your student number, names, date of birth and start date.
So I will advise you screenshot your cic online account to your school or forward the responses from the Web message to your school
