Good morning house...I've just checked my application progress and it's on "application transferred to VAC"...how long before TLS texts one today pick up passport?

Your own is moving. Hopefully by end of the day it'd be received by VAC and you'd get a message or email.

Mine is still on the 'application received by DMC'. I'm hoping for today as well

ebosh:
Good day how did you track your application

If you read the previous two or three pages you'd see how to track it

Abiscoco:
Not TLS Abuja though. Because I was there.

I don't know about Lagos but I assume they follow the same time table. For the past two weeks that I've been going there, the notice was pasted around the offices. 25, 26, 27th and Jan 1st.

Also note, TLS is different from UKVI.

It's same with Lagos

dajayeoba:
TLS only observed 25th and 26th as their holiday. They worked on Friday, 27th.

No they didn't

Apparently, there was maintenance don on TLS site and this is the new look

Abiscoco:
This is just what it is. Paid for priority to avoid long wait and yet will have to wait for more than 2 weeks now because VAC has officially closed today for the week.

Until next week now before there can be any update. When Ukvi claims the decision has been made since last week Thursday. Yet nothing on Friday, Monday and now today.

I thought they said they only close on public holiday, which is tomorrow and next, hopefully they can open on Friday

Please is it only my phone/network, or is TLS site not going through again?

OnyiFel:
Thank you so much . Please did you upload your documents online your self or you took it to then to upload for a fee ?

I uploaded them myself (self service)

OnyiFel:
Good morning all ,
Please when filling your visa application form online, at that part where you’re asked if you know where you’ll be staying in the Uk , I provided the school address .
The next question, “Will You Be Staying Anywhere Else in the UK? E.g like a hotel , or bed and breakfast inn, I clicked ‘NO’. Please am I on track or I should’ve provided another information on accommodation?

Thank you

You are on track

iamfelixy:
Please how do I track it?

Login to your visa application and click on "provide documents and biometrics", then "continue" it'd redirect you to TLScontact site and you'd see track there

smileyluv:
Lol! That tracking needs improvement. Since 13th, it has only checked the first 3.

At least there should be Decision made, in transit to VAC, then we can understand its Lagos traffic that's holding it down.

Lol... All we can do is to be patient

smileyluv:
Likewise, I submitted my application on the 12th of December, priority. Yet to receive any mail. UkVI confirmed decision has been made. VAC ikeja is keeping us in suspense

You know you can actually track your application to know where it is?

kreatorsink:
Please I will like to send direct message to you. Thanks

Alright

smileyluv:
Likewise, I submitted my application on the 12th of December, priority. Yet to receive any mail. UkVI confirmed decision has been made. VAC ikeja is keeping us in suspense

When did you do your biometric and interview?

OnyiFel:
Good evening everyone .
Please when printing out my bank statement, should I include the day the money came into the account , or I should print it with the opening balance (showing the maintenance funds) down to the 30th day ?
Thank you

Opening balance down to the 30th day. Closing balance date should not be more than one month to your visa application

Newbetterphase:
Hello Pals,

I will do tuberculosis test on the 27th December and apply for Ukvi afterwards and I still want to do standard visa, because I don't have money for priority.

Please I want to know if I am safe.

My school resumes on 27th of January with extension period til 17th of February.

@justwise

You better start saving money for priority if you don't want story...

BelleQ:
Good day House..
I went for my biometrics on Monday 16th Dec....when is the 5th working day( used priority)...is it wrong for me to call today?

No need to call anyone.

I did my own on Monday as well, Ikeja VAC. Priority

From what I have read so far, we should be expecting something by Monday or Tuesday.

Just because they said 5 working days doesn't mean it's exactly that 5 working days

I ve be tracking my own and it's still on the third stage, hopefully by Monday something positive will come out

Xtension18:
@justwise please do you know what it means when the ukvi sends a message that my application is not straightforward because I called them today about my application that I submitted on nov 25th standard, the rep said a decision hasn't been made

If you read the email well, you'd see it's an automated message they send to every applicant...

If you have read through some pages on the thread, you'd also notice almost everyone got the same message as well.

I think it means that your application is on the decision table and since you used standard, you'd have to wait a lil while...

Just calm down, your visa will be out

akinbo3:
No it hasn't taken me to where to Upload Documents

Go back to the email you use to login to your visa application and continue your application, you'd be directed to where you'd select whether self service or assisted.

If you select assisted, make sure you have all your documents in PDF format. You'd see the upload space from there

akinbo3:
Meanwhile I have not seen any page asking me to upload or would i get there after my booking appointment.?

Did you choose self service or assisted?

akinbo3:
I tried booking appointment on TLS Ikeja while on the final stage of Visa Application after Payment. But it displays failed.

Pls do the TLS have closing time or could this be their network.?
Experts pls help me out...

I even select other locations like VI TLS but displays failed again.

Have you uploaded your documents ?

alegria07:
I got the passport pick up mail today and VISA issued and STAMPED.

TIMELINE:
Priority
Applied Dec 06, 2019
Biometrics and Interview Dec 10, 2019
Passport ready for pickup Dec 18, 2019.

Congratulations

Macjayboy:
I've done my biometrics and interview

Go back to the TLS and tell them, they may have a way for you before a decision will be made on your application.

Macjayboy:
Guys please help me

I did self service but I didn't upload my tb test result. Is that going to be a problem??

Thanks.

If you have not done your biometric and interview, you can upload it on the day you'd do it. Just go with your ATM for assisted service charge

harriseen:
Good morning all.

I’m new here and have zero knowledge about this process. I do however know that there’re previous parts, but please reading all threads maybe very daunting. So I’m pleading, can I be lead through all I need to know about applying and getting a UK student’s visa?

Also I have a school in mind- London School of Commerce (LSC). Going for an MBA. Anyone here know anything about them. Should I be concerned? Any red flags?

I had this same mindset at first. And I would give you the advise my sister, who introduced me to this thread gave me, if you can't read through these pages, which contain almost all the information you need, then you are not ready to study in UK.

So, bring out time, read through the first and second pages and then glance through most of the pages and you'd be good to go, then you can come back and ask specific questions where it concern you.

You are welcome �

LagosismyHome:
That cant be the total fee


1) PRIORITY VISA?................ $767
2) AND IHS For 2-years course?.............. $1012

Oh, yeah, just checked well now..

The $767 is for visa fee and priority service.
2 years IHS plus four months is $1012.50

Xtension18:
Please guys, who has the Ukvi number to call for the status of my application because it has passed the 15 working days for standard, I did my biometrics and interview on the 25th November

Track your application

akinbo3:
He asked how much for:
1) PRIORITY VISA?
2) AND IHS For 2-years course?

Please give us the total of each.
Thank you sir.

Everything was paid together...

OnyiFel:
Good evening everyone ,
Please what’s a strong reason to give , if asked at the interview why I was refused a Canadian study permit and why I decided to then apply to the UK ??
Please I’d appreciate any contributions or if someone has previously gone through a question like this at their own interview ?

I don't think the person interviewing you will ask you any question pertaining your previous visa refusal.
Everything about your visa refusal has been answered when you uploaded the details of your visa refusal when filling your visa form

winzy:
Please can someone that recently paid, tell me how much he or she paid for priority visa... ihs included for 2 years academic duration.

$767
