Hello Nairalanders,
My family of 4 Visa applications has been approved except for one. It has been 2 weeks now. what should I do at this point, send an email/call, or still wait further?

Your viewpoint will be appreciated especially from people with similar experiences.

Thank you

Hello guys,
Who else heard news/rumor that Nigeria could be moved to RED LIST country today? I read it on Lindaikeji's instagram handle today. A British data expert, Tim White, was quoted to have said Nigeria is among the countries that could be moved to red list today. No other source was mentioned.
The implication is of this is that only British nationals and people with resident permits can enter the UK. God forbid!

Dear Nairalanders

Please ensure you declare on this platform if you want to contact me privately. This is for security reasons. I will not respond to any private chat if you do not declare it on this platform first.

I have observed that we have travel/visa agents who have been paid to do visa jobs and what they do is to disguise to me as a genuine nairalander to seek my support privately. If you call yourself an agent and have been paid and you still give that your job me knowing very well that I do support freely at no cost then that's wickedness and you should refund that your client.

Thank you

Nuisance people everywhere, destiny destroyers, wrecking havocs to people's lives. May they never know peace. Amen.

Please how do you deal with the challenge of References for those who graduated up to 10 years ago.

Can you use references from your past or current employer or someone you know In the academic field?

I used both and it wasn't difficult to get.

All the best.

I was scared an error on my BA Certificate would get my application denied, an extra letter "n" was added to my first name (Oversabi Unilag officer), I swore an affidavit and a "One and the same" name declaration in a newspaper, but ended up not including it in my application. I was advised not to draw unnecessary attention to a detail that may not have been noticeable or overlooked as it was handwritten in italics, or add any document that may delay my application (each documents uploaded will be verified), so I decided against including the affidavit and just prayed about it, I guess that worked or I was lucky. Thank you for all the contributions on this platform, I was practically living on nairaland.

Congratulations malwem.
I can relate to that error made in your name.
I had something similar, incorrect DOB on transcript. I didn't attach anything as proof against it. Look! My visa was issue in 5 working days! All glory be to Jah Jehovah!

@scobyy2007: thank you for enlightenment at the right time.

A million thanks to all nairalanders for various contributions which have positive effects on my application.

To all expectant visa applicants, I wish you the very best.
Please don't close mouth, a closed mouth is a closed destiny. Ask.,....and you shall receive.

Hello guys,
Please who have phone number to UKVI as I paid for visa delivery and since on Tuesday that I received collection mail, no communication from them?
I need to call urgently.

Thank you.

Gurus abeg make una help me

What I know is that on the page to upload documents, you have option to attach bank statement as one of your supporting documents.

Can't remember of a particular pop up option!

lasunakin:
I got a "cas used mail" from my school. Please what does it mean?

Your visa application is being processed.
Go to TLS tracking site for update.

All the best.

ericpetters:
TLS didn't issue me a tracking ID and my passport is showing picked by applicant for like 3 days now. I called DHL and they say I can't be issued anything without a tracking ID. What's all these abeg. Since August 11th, my mind never relax

I am I your shoe.
I received their mail that a decision has been made on my visa application. On the tracker site all stages have bn ticked. Since Tuesday no communication again.

haydenscorp:
Good evening everyone, for my proof of funds, I plan to use my personal savings account. However, I have been using the account for daily expenditure as I did not take note of the fact that the 28days counts from the date of last transaction. Is there any way round this? As I already booked my flight for 9th of September. I read that a letter from my bank can stand as an evidence (could this work?) please note that the balance never dipped below the amount required for proof of funds

I don't think you will have any problem as far as POF is concerned if the maintenance fund is intact. There's nothing wrong if the account is transactional.

Hephzi04:
Hello people, please is there any way i can reach out to Teesside University fast? Their office in Nigeria is not picking their calls. I got a conditional offer from them, but i just noticed it was for 1 year and i want the two years with advanced practice, I’m hoping it can still be changed to 2 years

The Nigeria office does pick calls. Please keep on calling at different intervals or send mail (3 days max). Concerning your change of course, I will advise you route it through the school admission team.

Cheers.

kenniekel:
Good evening everyone I am kindof new on this page I posted earlier and I don’t know how to read my reply maybe I will just retype here
I want to apply for my masters study in Uk my question is- is it a must I write IELTS and can I get a list of school that those not require IELTS and I want to start my application immediately. Thank you for your time.

Generally not a requirement. With your WAEC or NECO result is enough as proof of English. However at the discretion of the school you may be asked to write IELTS e.g if you've graduated more than 10 years ago. My school requested that I write before offering me admission.

I am on the UK Visa section of Additional Information.
After adding my information, the page refuses to accept giving me the error message 'enter letter only'. I used alphabets only.
Why am I getting this error?
Thank you
