Babababy:
Some update from my end .
Family of Five.

Application date : 22/07/21
Biometrics VI : 23/07/21

Main Applicant : Super Priority
Spouse Dependant : Priority
Children Dependants : Standard

Collection .

Main : 28/07/21(weekend between)- 2 workings days
Spouse(Me) : 30/07/21 -5 working days
Children Nigerian Passport : 09/08/21 -11 working days
US passport : 10/08/21 - 12 working days

Submitted all applications on the 22nd of July, we couldn’t get any date for biometrics close by, but the moment we picked Super Priority for Main and booked for following day, we were able to get close dates for the rest. We all did walk in with main applicants appointment date for biometrics on 23rd July.We didn’t have any stress because the main had an appointment and they allowed us in with her, got in 08:30 we all finished 09:45. 1hr 15mins.

Basically got all our info from the web and Nairaland, I joined Nairaland 2013 when I was looking for info to have our daughter in the US, and got all the info we needed back then too from Nairaland. The information here is priceless mainly because its first hand from people that have gone through or going through same process.

Key points for me, you really don’t need an agent for this process as long as you have internet connection. Whatever info you also get from here, you would do yourself some good if you also search online for better understanding, I am not the student but I literally know the A-Z of obtaining a student visa, because I wanted to know.

Alot of people are mentally lazy, if you use the basic google search and type “how much is Uk student visa in Nigeria” , you would get thousands of hits and if you go through, it would even direct you to Nairaland post about same topic. We have 800+ pages mainly because of repeated questions and lazy questions.

Wifey is the main applicant(Northumbria), she had study gap of 18 years, we didn’t get any not straight forward email and she wasn’t interviewed. She has loads of job experience to cover the gap though . We also have a healthy travel history, combined travel history was 38 US/UK/EU/Dubai, and valid Uk and US.

I am a Pilot, hence I have some basic travel knowledge and all, also why I gave some input in regards best generic days to find cheap tickets to travel. I would have to do some conversion exams if I want to fly in the UK, and that would take a while. So I am still pondering on my best options as per work for me.

We have some very intelligent people here and surely would keep the follow of the page alive on my part. The main beauty is how individuals are willing to help regardless of ethnicity, religion, gender and age, especially those who already got visa’s and are still here helping out,God bless all your hearts.Hopefully we can transcend this vibe into this entity called Nigeria.

Let me add, it’s ok not to know some basic issues because as individuals we learn and grow everyday. So when in doubt, please ask. Whats not ok is giving out advise you are not sure about. It’s better to remain quiet and observe than to mislead, there exist consequences on the part of the person you are giving that misinformation. No one human is an island of knowlegde, and as long as you are willing to learn you would keep adding to your life. Wish everyone the best in your quest to better yourself and your families.I am Open to any questions about our process.

And don’t forget to give a good representation of yourself when out there in the UK, we owe those coming behind a chance to also use the process. In lay man’s word, “DONT Bleep IT UP FOR THE NEXT SET OF APPLICANTS”

@Justwise @scobby007 and to all the gurus in the house

Please i need you advise on this. I did my biometrics alongside my wife on the 2nd August at TLS VI, i did priority for my wife( main applicant) and standard for myself (dependant). My wife received collection mail yesterday and i’m yet to receive any mail as my application is still showing “Application received by DMC”, my question is can i take out some out of the funds i used as pof for her cause all the money was put in my wife’s account? 2. Can i send a paid mail to know if decision has been made on my application? 3. Is it possible they treated our case differently cause most times as i have seen on here that most family’s application come out almost the same time . Kindly please advise as ur kind advise will be much appreciated.

Congrats!!!

Since you paid for standard, you would have to wait out the 3 weeks, it might even come out sooner. And please don’t take out the proof of funds if it’s the same bank statement you used as that might mess with your own application. I’d say Just be patient

Hello Everyone!!!
Pls I need your help ooo !!

I collected my visa back from TLS vi without the Brp letter in it ,so I placed a call through to Ukvi because I was worried.
On calling them they said it Twas no issue that they’ll send the letter to me via email .

I just got an email asking me to submit my passport to the nearest visa application center for correction based on the call I made.

I really don’t know what to do . I already booked my flight for September.
Pls as anyone had this issue be for and how long will it take for my passport to get returned if I submit it .
I applied using priority earlier.

Finally collection mail dropped today. Tls tracking app shows that passport has been picked by applicant even though I requested for Dhl. I have tried tracking on dhl website but details.

Do you guys advise I pick passport myself and avoid dhl delay

Padraic:


You have two options

1. Used form A in any nigerian bank. Just walk in and ask. Usual requirements are... admission letter, valid ID, your BSc certificate if you're applying for msc programs, the school bank details.

It takes about 2 weeks to be processed.
Bank rates has been below 600 for the past 6weeks

2. Go buy £££ from aboki at 710 and open domiciliary account in any bank and do the transfer directly.

Max 4-5 days to do all these.

You are on the wrong thread.
I guess you are seeking for a visiting/ tourist visa.
This thread is for students visa. Check General UK visa thread.
Thanks
