Okay okay, thank you
Elfavour:
If it's Emirates, I suppose you don't need a transit visa for a 3 hours layover in Dubai.
Just get your UK evisa ready
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Pearlcom: 7:47am On Jan 23, 2025

You shall receive yours too. The case is so similar. Don'tknowwhy they like to give e someone high bp. That's why I shared my visa alert story so as to give hope to people in my shoes. Try to notify the school too that you are still expecting your visa
Julius444:
I have similar case as yours. Biometric Dec 9th, several paid call and mails. Extra documents supporting what I've been doing since 2016 was asked on Jan 17th and I uploaded it same day. Just that I haven't received my visa till now. I hope I receive mine. Latest date on enrollment is Jan 27th. I also have one US refusal in 2019

VISA ALERT!!!!!!
OMOOO, I GATS CHECK MY BP. I wait till 12:07 before sleeping every night. This mail went to sit in my junk since 12:07. It was my agents that informed me this morning ooo

Bio Dec. 2nd VI LAGOS

Nsf mail Dec. 3rd

Paid calls, dec 24, 27, 28. (They kept saying it was not yet 15 working days after nsf)

Escalated Jan 6

Nsf mail for additional documents Jan 14 (because of 10 years study gap )
I sent it Jan 15

RESUMPTION WAS YESTERDAY JAN 20. I was sad throughout yesterday, had to go clear my head somewhere

Success mail January 21 at 12:07 am

Latest day of resumption on my CAS is 27th January, next week Monday, if not omooo.

This journey ehn, but I am grateful for all the inputs from here.

My agents did all the processing so I can't really list all what they uploaded.

They didn't upload my work experience, employment letters and references at first, they said they'll still send nsf to demand for more. So when they asked for additional documents last week, we just sent them

My two employment letters
Reference letters from the 2 employers
My BSC. Certificate and transcript.

I pray all those waiting shall be favored

Oh, I forgot, I have one VISA refusal in July 2024, Schenghen tourist Visa. Reason been that, there is reasonable doubt I will return after expiration of my VISA. Guess I didn't submit enough ties
I am grateful oooo



Pearlcom:
I did biometrics on the 2nd Dec. Still hoping and Monday is my resumption (jan 20). They requested for additional documents of what I have been doing for over 10 years just this week after several paid calls. Don't know how long it usually takes to review that again. Had 1 previous tourist visa refusal too from shenghen. Maybe that is why they are doing all these. Wen is your own resumption?
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Pearlcom: 10:02pm On Jan 18, 2025
Okay thanks, I will now
Iansunderland:
Yes, urgently reach out to them NOW.
Most schools have a regular deadline, and a late start deadline, which is only granted on request, based on exceptional circumstances (such as visa delays).

Not reaching out to them in a timely fashion can result in your CAS being withdrawn which will cause UKVI to refuse your visa.
Buy yourself the time NOW!!!
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Pearlcom: 5:09pm On Jan 18, 2025

When did you get the "decision will be made as soon as possible mail" before you got this recent one? Got the same this afternoon
Rimdans:
Hi everyone,
After receiving a " your application is being worked on and a decision will be made as soon as possible" after escalation, I was hit with this email this afternoon.
At this point, I am confused as to what to do seeing as my last day for registration is 14th of January.
Also it doesn't say anything about my application not being NSF, but is this still a NSF mail? Just so confused.
Please any advice?

TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Pearlcom: 4:10am On Jan 08, 2025
Please house, I maid a paid call to ukvi but the attached generic mail sent to me is from Sheffield student team escalation. Please how come? I didn't apply to sheffield at all. Or what could be wrong?

TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Pearlcom: 4:06am On Jan 08, 2025
I was also told mine is awaiting decision during the call only to get the particular mail after 24 hours
LilChamp:
No I didn't. I made a call and was told during the call that decision hasn't been made.
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Pearlcom: 3:39am On Jan 08, 2025
Good morning and congratulations.
Please did you get this attached generic mail after your paid call before getting the NSF mail requesting for what you have been doing? I escalated and only got the attached mail after 24 hours.
LilChamp:
NYSC Certificate
Employment Letter
And Reference Letter

TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Pearlcom: 4:22pm On Dec 28, 2024
I have not escalated o. My agents advised me not to. Globus removd my POF unexpectedly so they credited it back last week. My agents said I should wait for another 28 days before escalating
Olamii54:
E be like Ukvi no work at all this week ooo
Nobody got visa huh 🤔
@pearlcom did you later escalate yesterday
What was their response
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Pearlcom: 8:55am On Dec 26, 2024
My bio was 2nd Dec. Got nsf on the 3rd, since then nothing. It's now looking like they pack some people's application and put in the store or folder and keep. Because if you need some more documents, why can't you reach out immediately or after few days to demand? Ah, na wa
Starways:
My own na since 6th Dec and nothing from them yet. I can’t even understand how am feeling.
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Pearlcom: 6:57pm On Dec 25, 2024
Hmm, I called again o, they said I should call on Friday that Tuesday was the 15th working day after nsf so I'm to call a day after,not on the day. I just weak immediately. Friday, we go again

Olamii54:
Hwfr boss
Did you later escalate yesterday ?
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Pearlcom: 8:38pm On Dec 24, 2024
I should have paid for priority in the first place. Now I have to renew POf which is more expensive than priority visa. God abeg help we nsf candidates 😪😪
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Pearlcom: 5:57pm On Dec 23, 2024
December 2nd, empty nsf December 3rd

Worst part is, vfs site is so useless that one can't track the progress. Everything about vfs is annoying. They used Gig to deliver my passport when I applied for Schengen VISA and I had to be called to come to their office after several days, they didn't do home delivery
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Pearlcom: 1:27pm On Dec 23, 2024
I also have previous Schengen refusal and 10 years study gap. Maybe that is why. But empty nsf and prolonged silence is so unfair. Just state what you need and let's send. We will send documents again and start waiting. I don tire
alozieanselm202:
Amen,my arrival is 6th too nothing yet ,am just worried, could it be that it is delayed because of my previous USA and Canada refusals,in which I declared

Abi huh
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Pearlcom: 10:37pm On Dec 21, 2024
Holiday is on Wednesday and Thursday. They will work till like 2pm on Tuesday. So I will try to call early on Tuesday. I was charged about 10k airtime and over 3 pounds on my card
Olamii54:
Firstly
Holiday Dey on Tuesday now
Can we count Tuesday and Wednesday as their working day or it’ll be excluded
And i only spent less than 5k to make that call
How did you spent 20k 🤔
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Pearlcom: 3:26pm On Dec 21, 2024
Story of my life o 🤧. Empty nsfsince 3rd December.
They told me to wait for 15 workingdays i will do another paid mail on Tuesdayis I don'tsee anythingon Monday. Paid call is too expensive. Spent almost 20k before I could talk to them
Olamii54:
If you’re a new applicant and you see empty nsf this dec
Just sit down for bed
Cry for like 10mins😩😩😭
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Pearlcom: 8:11pm On Dec 19, 2024
Paid with someone's uk card,was debited about £3.5. I also recharged about 12,000 naira airtime and I was left with about 1k. The call is fvkn expensive.
xzeal10:
I paid with my dollar card... cuz they will ask for your card information. i recharged 5,000 and before I could conclud with the call it dropped. I recharged another N8,000 and completed the conversion.

They will ask for
Your name
GWF number
Date and location of biometrics .
If you received an nsf..if yes? when?
TravelRe: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 9 by Pearlcom: 4:47pm On Dec 19, 2024
My advice as someone who did paid call today,14 working days of bio.

1. If you didn't get any nsf mail, Wait til after 15 working days of your bio before doing paid call/mail
2. If you got nsf mail, wait till 15 working days after nsf before making paid calls/mail.

I just wasted money because they said they can't escalate yet so I should call back when it's after 15 working days if I did not get any mail from them.

So I gats wait till Tuesday, 24th again. I just tire. My resumption is Jan 20
Olamii54:
Pls ooo
Anyone huh
Paid call
Paid mail
Escalation
Which is best and advisable to know your application progress
And how are these done
Pls somebody answer huh
