This was the same message I was getting from them until I withdrew(cancelled) my application after sitting at DMC for three months. How can they still be doing mandatory routine checks on an application that the decision has already being overturn for approval by their so called admin board? Is it not the same documents you submitted, abi na fresh application?...the UK student visa process is becoming complicated, from a simple PBS to requesting additional documents, who knows what's next...Kai when country man country no good, na this kind thing u go dey experience, God bless my country o make my children no need go through all this rubbish. Anyway, I will advise you go to their head office/embassy, or inform your university to help you look into the issue, mine tried but they were also disappointed by UKVI's response.....

Please i need help on my matter
I applied for a student visa and had my biometrics capture in July 2021, I got a refusal letter on the July 2021 and applied for a review of the mistakes on the decision in August 2021
I received a turnover from the administrative review in October 2021 and got an email to submit my passport to TLS Abuja November 2021 the said passport and TB test was dropped at the TLS Center Abuja Nigeria in November 2021

I resent my TB test as it was not uploaded when a lady called me from Pretoria in December 2021

Since then, I have been waiting to no avail and my school resumes this March 2022 I have been calling UKVI non stop and they do not have a tangible reply for me except that my review is in progress and application undergoing mandatory checks
it is over 3 months since I dropped off my passport, does anyone know what is happening

Oga stay married o, don't confuse things for yourself, you apply for your student visa as married.... No b everybody way marry dey carry their whole family go, Na simple question of status nothing more, if you are going with ur dependants then you go need proof, anything else you will be treated like a single applicant. Just my suggestion o, best of luck....

Generalkoye:
Question:

I declared married in my refused visit visa last year and I intend to apply as a single man for a student visa this year. Is a divorce certificate okay or I should carry on with my married status?

Madam reach their first now, Haba! when una reach their una fit bigin the work of baby creation, at least una go use eyes see how things b b4 night and day duty go start...."am getting pregnant this year" like say na mandate, na "in Jesus name" remain make e be declaration .....blessings to the unborn

Good morning All,

Hahahaha u never see anything, that is what you get when hope is lost, imagine spending 15 to 20k pounds just to japa, but that is what you get when poverty, ignorance has been weaponized against the people, opportunities marginalized towards a set of people, while the rest are left to faith. If the old are running after failing to do the right thing, is the young you want to stay? You've not seen anything yet o calm down, very soon you go see person dey carry ehn whole community with ehn ancestors, and oracle, even herbalist go dey ask where my own ticket? ... ewo, kai the dream of the average Nigerian is to be born and to run, what a life, all na Glory to God say I don escape, abi na God plan for us now be this bah? It is well...

Student visa is not a japa visa and it not that there Notting God cannot do (uk settlement) we Nigerians and agents have twisted everything upside down .the teir 4 student visa has a lot of limitations and the psw is a dead end if you can't move to other category of visas .all this heavy baggage Nigerians carry as students lead to more stress. Person on a budget will carry wife and 3 kids at a go on a student visa (12k tution fees) on your neck plus accomadation and day care .one student even carry him mama and mother inlaw on.a student visa .ontop how much 20 hours work .the student visa bring you close to the opportunity the uk has to offer if lucky you grab it but honestly many will be back to Nigeria after 2 years psw visa same mass movement happen in 2011 and many are back in Nigeria with shining certificate and hustling same jobs kogi State University graduates.

Just asking....Did u provide evidence of employment/studies during ur application, hence why they needed further evidence again?

choky26:
Good day house. I sent a paid mail and got the attached reply.

Today is the 17th working day for me. Did bio on 14th Jan Abuja TLS and got NSF to provide further employment or studies after graduation in 2014 on 29th Jan and I replied with on 31st.

Is anyone in this situation or did anyone get such and later got their visa?

Baba trust me when I say that u are not the only one experiencing the inadequacies of the UKVI's system, I also applied on the 15/12/21, NSF Jan 5 replied on the 6th, 11th, and 14th (last paid mail I sent a decision has not being made was the response I got). First, don't be sad about this, is quiet unfortunate that we paid close to 500$ for this mediocre service from the UKVI's office. Just communicate with your school, if they have not reached out already (becos some of this UK schools ur money is their priority, that is the sad truth, some won't support you emotionally or physically with your visa process and challenges, but will put their boot on ur neck asking for fees payment on time or they threaten to sabotage ur process. Well why are we surprised, we signed the bad deal with our two eyes wide open, hence the consequence thereof) don't be sad, you might start considering admission deference, I understand the fresh cost that comes with that, trust me I know its huge, but you might have to start dealing and preparing for the reality of the effect of these delays ahead of time, like I am, my school's late deadline is 10th Feb as stated on my CAS. Also check with ur school or department to know if they have other late deadline for your course, like mine, though its stated on my CAS that the late deadline is 10th of Feb on their website my program has a late deadline of 20th of Feb. So communicate with your school for more infor and support. You would think that since an NSF mail was sent it means once the applicant responds, his/her application would be prioritized for processing, since all other documents are believed to be alright, already verified, but no, it doesn't apply to everybody, ur application might join the cue again, some get immediate response, while others wait indefinitely, What a System? Don't cry abeg, UK no be heaven, you will go their and go to other countries as well, Don't worry it will end in praise...

Guys I’m in a very sad and frustrated mood right now.i did my biometric on 15th dec 2021, got nsf for work reference on Jan 5 2022,replied same day cos I’ve only worked in one place and I’m still working there at the moment.i have sent plenty paid mails all they just say is awaiting decision,I have called countless times all they say is still the same thing they say in the mail response.i am so sad .everyone around me has collected their visa even people that just did.I’m I the only one experiencing this .i have cried tire.I’ve had so many thoughts go through my head.have they dumped my file somewhere or have they misplaced my files .i have tracked tire it’s still on DMC. What can I do please help and school deadline is 7th of February.what can I do

Baba u can use it, if he can write it on the letter headed paper of the university or department that will be great, becos some universities even companies don't give out their official letter headed paper to their employees or lecturers like that, my university had that issue only the HOD of my department had access to such doc. So if he can then great, if not, a well presented letter of recommendation will be OK.

rhymaholic:
Please guys, is anything wrong if i use an academic reference letter from a lecturer that teaches in the university i graduated from but he never taught me. He is a doctoral degree holder and teaches in the art faculty but i studied mechanical engineering. He never taught me but i have a personal relationship with him. I graduated over 10 years ago, going down to the school to meet lecturer from my department might be cumbersome. Would his reference letter be acceptable? Thank you guys as you respond

These are part of the inadequacies of UKVI, we pay 500$ for quality service yet u get mediocre at best, and we are all suppose to be grateful for it...mcheww I rest my case, it will end in praise 15/12/2021...

Davdav01:
Pls Guys advise cus I'm loosing my mind

Did my biometric on 14-12-2021@ ikj TLS
No NSF mail
No any mail or information whatsoever from UKVI
Sent several paid mails with decision made responses
Waited weeks for collection mail without any response
Visited TLS several times without result
Called UKVI and case was escalated but yet without result..... please what else can I do to get my passport.

Please, live matter 4 matthew, like @justwise said take a study loan, simple, becos after the visa Na BILLING O! ur pocket go dey leak like weak bladder. Second, if the Eco handling ur application has any doubt he/she will just send an NSF mail asking for a reprint of the statement, with specific dates, and verify it with ur bank simple, so if u don remove ahm OYO LO WA! Be wise people....it will end in praise!

Atk1nson:
I know there has been an argument here in the past, however, I can fairly confidently tell you they can't do that. What they can verify is the authenticity of the documents provided to them. If they need additional information on your financial status or doubts about it at the decision-making point, they will send you a NSF for a reprint of the statement (some people here have been asked to reprint to a later date)

Upload those documents plus any other online and offline certificates you have....its ok

ShalewaT:

joideviv:
What about me, 15/11, 1 NSF with no request. The good thing is that it has been transferred to VAC

U can send it anytime just make sure you get the automated response mail stating/acknowledging the receipt of your mailed documents if not send it again until you get the automated response, I did not get it the first two times I sent my documents until the third time maybe it was network.

vibes7:
@justwise and seniors in the house
Can NSF mail be replied to on a Saturday? Someone got one yesterday to provide proof of education and work within 10 working days.

What was their request?...

BeeJay1477:
NSF mail - Non-Straightforward mail. You get this mail if they need more documents from you or if they won't be able to decide your application within the set timeframes.

I have received this mail and I have reponded back to them since on the 10th of January. But I haven't heard from them. I'm January intake. Please kindly advise what to do.
