Bisunique25:
Hello everyone, please I need your suggestions. I booked for Medicals manually for myself and dependent early this month, but unfortunately we were given the 30th of September. I sent several mails to IOM and even made several calls, still yet, no positive response from them. Please what will you advise I do?

And please, how long does it take for Northumbria university to issue CAS after uploading payment telex copy. Hubby made transfer from his pounds account at UBA on Monday, and we got the telex copy that same day which will uploaded on Tuesday.

Go there in the morning, join the line for complaints. When you get in, explain to the people in there and they'll give you a closer date IF it's a student visa you want to apply for.

Booking for what

For biometric

If you have evidence of your travel history in a different passport, you may
want to submit that with your application.

The above statement is on the checklist.

Does this mean that I need to submit my older passport since it has all my old visas and stamps?

I haven't used my new passport for any travels since I got it about 2 years ago.

collinsfbi:


For biometric

But, I think TLS centre is for those that can't find any booking, so you just do walk in and do your biometrics. Please guys correct me if I'm wrong.

TLS is where you "do your visa application", its where you do interviews if you have any, its basically the uk immigration representative in Nigeria. your visa bookings is in TLS. if you have to go anywhere for your UK Visa, TLS is most likely the place you have to go to.

TLS also attend to appointment booked online but I just want to confirm if the walk in is actually possible like if someone can go to either Ikeja or VI without appointment and he will get it done ?

Tobexin:
it depends on the school. Some will issue while some won’t show you.

Chester University

Can't I do my visa application myself upload my documents and just do the walk-in at TLS for my biometrics.

Since you have visas and genuine stamps on the passports, scan and upload them if you're using the self upload mode on TLS website, otherwise, those guys at the TLS office will not allow you to submit your old passport during biometric.
I experienced this at the VI office.
The lady said she can only allow me if I choose assisted service.

You are wrong TLS is where biometric is done, you most book a day before going for work in. Note people that go for walk-in are the once that have a date that is far and the need a closer date

They won't take your old passport from you.
No need anyway, because a) the UK student visa is points-based so travel history is not a factor (except where it is adverse of course), and b) you will fill out your travel history in the form, so there's no need for the physical passport and visas.

koloyewo:

Of course.

I completely forgot to upload evidence of my previous travels. The visas and stamps. I just hope they overlook that mistake.

I don't know about that...you can get a dollar card from your bank. Buy dollar from black market to fund it .

Congratulations....

I tap into your grace and success. My application is with DMC as at Friday and I applied for priority.

lexychuks:
Visa Alert!

Application date: 16th of July

Biometric: 23rd of July (The two days Muslim break really delayed my biometrics date, first time I'd ever hate public holiday)

Application type: Priority VI

Application transferred to VAC: 30th of July

Collection email: 30th of July with visa sitting pretty on my passport

Declared: previous USA study visa denial , and schengen visit visa approved

I'm really lost for words. I have followed almost all the study threads on this nairaland, I tried German study route but I was denied admission, same with Canada, Even Unilag denied me admission... Eventually when I got over 4 offers from schools in USA, Trump's visa people dashed my hopes. Already gave up studying abroad then this UK 2 years post study came up and I decided to give it a try.

Thanks to nairaland for all the priceless information. May all of us achieve our japa dreams. ✌️

Austinadex:
1) yes of course
2) yes

Have you gotten your visa? Having same case as yours too

Thanks for they reply. I haven’t applied yet, where will you be staying in London? My place is about two hours to uniHerts. I’m hoping everything goes as planned by God’s grace.

Please what type of jobs do you need a police report for in the UK?

missuzoma:
Good evening my good people. That police report needed for getting some jobs in the UK, what is it called? Where is it issued? Panti?

Dayo1980:

There is this general belief that travel history is not taken into consideration when eco’s considers an application, this ain’t entirely correct. It’s part of their brief and guideline, it is considered and more so if you have a clause on your travel history. The link below is the approved ukvi guidelines for assessing applications and i also attached a page from the same guidelines.
