I've always preferred Abuja, but I hear the level of insecurity is high on that route. Who has travelled that route from the West of recent?

Visa Alert!!!

Guys! God has indeed answered my prayers. Yesterday I said that I will get my collection mail today and indeed it happened. My story is this -

I had 2 Canada visa refusals, I was so confident that I would get the last one, that I took my study leave from work, meaning I practically resigned and started classes online which I did for 2weeks before the second refusal letter came from Canada.

Devastated does not even describe how I felt late September. I had spent my whole year chasing this study dream.

Long story short, I got a job offer Nov 1st, it’s fully remote and the pay is times 2 of what I was previously getting and now I have my Uk visa. The God of the 11th hour indeed showed up for me. My timeline is below:

School - York St John University
Conditional offer - Sept 29th
Unconditional - Oct 27th
CAS issuance - Nov 15th
Visa Application(Priority) - Nov 15th
Biometrics - Nov 16th
No NSF mail
Collection mail - Nov 24th
Passport picked up - Nov 24th

I give all glory to God and I thank the good people of Nairaland. You guys are simply amazing, I go through this thread everyday to get information and this was how I packaged my application and I met great friends here too along the way.

May we all get our heart desires and have our prayers answered. Amen

Read through the last 3pages, someone made an offer there, yesterday precisely.

thank you @all the Elders!...i dey loyal

I understand your point better now, it has helped, thanks.

efosa:

I am not an Expert on this, But i will give you my 20 koko advice, If you add bulk cash, then start counting 28 days all over again from next day.

wait for other to respond to your question, i am sure you are not the first person in this position

Okay... Thanks so much!

lobinche101:
Yes brother. The next day after the second fund was added.

The adding up is actually to make up for the required POF amount. Will this affect the 28days rule, or we'll just start counting from the day the second transaction was made?
Thanks for your timely response.

Kennykayy:
The opening balance and the closing balance shouldn’t go beyond the required funds needed. You can make any other transactions within those periods but it mustn’t go lesser than the amount you need

Thanks so much for your response. The challenge is that it's a family of 5 applying together, but the initial amount covers the main applicant and 3 dependants. We need more for the remaining dependant, how do we go about it so we can print out the 28days statement at once?

efosa:


provided thee initial amount on the account already covered the amount you need,,, you can add or remove as long as your balance do not go below the required amount, even for 1 day within the 28 days.,,BUT, JUST Avoid adding bulk cash,, or you will be asked to explain.

Please house, is it possible to add some amount to the already counting POF and still print the statement out at the end of the 28days window for visa application?

That is, for instance there's #10m in the account at day 7, you now add up some more funds to make up the POF, when should the statement be printed for visa application?

I hope my question is clear enough. Please help!

University of South Wales, Heriot Watt, Bedfordshire...

Bnaira77:
Hello which school is still accepting January 2022 intake asap.

Thank you.

Congratulations to you and everyone who just got their visa miracle... God is indeed faithful!

Tolvin:
Visa Alert!!!

 

God has said that the rest of the year is the best of the year for me! It has been a tumultuous journey but I dare say that God has been ever faithful. I bless Him for giving me the strength and the will to hold on, take crazy steps of faith, and now and I’m here. Phil. 1:6 & Eph. 3:20 & daily thanksgiving has been my routine since Oct 1st.

 

Submitted new POF to the University in order to meet a Visa Compliance Check condition due to the visa refusal received in Aug – Oct 27th

POF Accepted by the University – Oct 29th

CAS issued – Nov 2nd

Visa Application – Nov 5th

Biometrics – Nov 9th

NSF Mail – Nov 12th

CAS Used Update – Nov 17th

Paid Email – Nov 19th

Application moved to VAC – Nov 22nd

Passport received with Vignette – Nov 23rd

 

I will never forget when I received the last refusal on the 10th of August. I was devastated, depressed, and pressed down. It seemed over for me at the time but God said He was just getting started with me. A number of friends I’d made during my biometrics in July at the time traveled to the UK and this made me sadder because I felt left behind. Few of them stood with me and kept monitoring my progress, just to ensure that I didn’t give up and I am glad I didn’t. I dare say that GOD CAME THROUGH FOR ME!

 

University of Strathclyde, Glasgow here I come in Jesus name (Amen)!!!

Amazoner01:

Try university of bedfordshire but you’d pay 65percent deposit and pof before cas. Resumption date for January intake is 17th January if you can meet up.

Ps: Kindly note that the school is majestically seated at the last position of Uk university ranking.

Congratulations!

Zangovinchy:
Thank God. Visa dropped for family of 5. Standard. 12 and 13 working days.
It can only be God

Mikool101:

I am planning to change mine anyway. I heard sometimes your school may ask for your TB Certs before issuing CAS. Likewise someone advised me here to change the address on the certificate, since am no longer going there.

Okay.
But I don't think it should be an issue especially if the reason is well explained to them since it's the content that matters...
I personally dread that Ikeja office because of the horrible experience I and family had on our appointment day.

ifunanya84:

The address shouldn’t matter on the form – when you fill in the visa form, put the correct address and in the notes section at the end of the visa application, put a note to explain the TB certificate has the wrong address and your new UK address is in the application form.
If u still insist on changing it, its ₦8,500 for your each member of the family.Just go to their office and ask for a change of address

All the best with your application!

Your response lifted my countenance, thanks so much. #8,500 each for a family of 5 is alot...

ifunanya84:
Just your international passport. Then subject should be "Urgent"
They respond within 3 days.

Good day all, thanks for the good work done here, God bless.

Please is it really necessary to change the school address to a new one on the TB test result if applicant is no longer heading to the initial school? If yes, can it be done after visa application before biometrics? I'm confused please.
Thanks for kind response.

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 to you and family, I tap into this breakthrough.

Good evening everyone, pls who is processing schooling at leeds Beckett university January entry? Let’s exchange contacts and help each other.

This is interesting!
Please elders in the house, is there any link that confirms this? Share please...

Bourne007:
Even with this, where you get take am from?

You don't need to meet any financial requirements/maintenance funds/POF whatever you wanna call it. Just gather money for IHS and Application fees . Make we then spend the balance for ASUU joint

It is well...

ndidibabe:
My brother landed in Teesside University today. I really don't know but he sounded moody on the phone. I am really worried about him...

Okay, thanks... There's no difference then in whether we apply at thesame time or later.
I appreciate your response.
