VISA ALERT! Long post o

Good morning everyone, been quite busy to pen this down.

Biometrics- july 8(standard) for me and 2 dependants
1st not straightforward mail- july 20th for myself
1st not straightforward mail- july 26th- dependants
2nd not straightforward for 3 of us- August 3rd
3rd not straightforward for myself- August 4th

Then i got a call from the Home office without notification asking if i can go on with an interview, i said yes but call dropped. I was sent a mail 35mins later scheduling me for 9th of August, 2pm. 9th came they didn’t call. Around 3:52, i saw uk missed call on my ALTERNATIVE LINE wch I tried to call back but kept bouncing back.

I sent series of paid mails and called the call centre but all responses were, you will be contacted.

Then i got another call on Friday asking if i am ok to go on with the interview, another yes and this lasted for 1hr 34mins because i gave them full/plenty points on questions asked.

By 18th of August i called and told its still awaiting a decision. I told the lady that its past 15 working days i did biometrics and i want it escalated, i told the person the type of visa i did.

20th, I received a mail from pretoria saying i was under mandatory checks and its still processing.

24th of August my dependants collection mail came wch I collected the following day.
25th, past 5pm mine entered wch I collected on friday.

I declared 4 uk visits refusal, 1 uk visits for myself
3 uk visits refusal for my dependants also.

It took them 32working days before returning my passport with visa. I was really worried, i fasted alot, praised alot(all with a sincere heart o) still prayed to God to give me a strong heart if it will be a refusal but I GIVE HIM ALL THE GLORY COS IT ENDED IN PRAISE.

I left Naija through Qatar Airways on Sunday 29th,(ticket was booked on Thursday after I collected my dependants visa) and on getting to uk border, the C.O asked, who are these beside you, i told him my daughters(1 was almost my height), asked name of my sch,course, duration, and if i have visited before and if i had any immigration problem in the past, I answered all. i was told to step asidewith my dependants for more investigation to be made. I was scared but I kept my calmness, gave my daughter my phone to send msg to her father(he stays in the UK), my sister and my pastor should incase anything comes up. I didn’t press my phone at all. And within 30mins i was released to go.

ONLY GOD’S MERCY!!!

Our visa processes differs, if there is any mistake you might have made and no how to correct it, speak to God, where one can’t reach, HIS MERCY AND FAVOUR will get there.

God will see everyone through. Aamen.

When I filter "Lagos", there are no centers shown.

Why is this please?

bolagabriella:
Good morning, pls I'm still on getting a date for TB test. It's not going and I've sent an email as suggested since sunday but still nothing. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks.

MissOwaa:
Wow, It just a normal mail though. Kindly reply mail.

Boofrenzy:
So guys i feel you can avoid paying for walk in by starting your application early.

This is what I mean. Starting the visa application say 2 weeks before your POF matures .
Pay for IHS and Visa fee then select biometrics appointment date which will be 2weeks ahead.

In 2 weeks time when your statement matures. Print the statement and upload all documents

Then go for your normal appointment.

I'm not so sure how long the application is valid after creating the account but I think you will have about 2 weeks to complete that. So it should work.

By the way, You are free to criticize this. Let me hear what you think

This is untrue, and the representative is talking rubbish.

izyblaze:
It was an agent.

izyblaze:
This is the statement if you must know. Is this not sufficient transactions? And that transaction thing is bull. (Modified) I’ve deleted the screenshot because she’s received the Cas. Thanks for your contribution

ijeshaprincess:


Because the greedy Lagos state government took over the test to make extra money. So you get redirected to the recognised Lagos centres after filling the form on that same platform. That is why outside Lagos, the test is 39,500 while in Lagos it's 52,000 or thereabout!

Yes i'm 110% sure of what i'm taking about and i'm also sure that you and that agent are making things up.

Not really, if the embassy wants to know if the account is functioning they can call the bank. There is no rule that stated that applicants must make a transaction before printing.

Clarine:


Please go to the he website to read the rules. You can not apply for visa before your money matures. Most times you won’t even get CAS before it matures because you need the Statement for CAS. Let be guided. Don’t apply before your POF matures. It’s their rule

May97:
Is there anyone who did biometrics on the 27th of august (vi priority)
Whats the status of your application now?

Futureukstudent:
the CAS is with the Nigerian rep. Which means the school wants her to show the proof to Nigerian rep before the rep releases the CAS ...she is representing the school. You are mistaking agent for representative

Futureukstudent:
making what thing up? I just asked you a simply question, kindly answer yes or no, you have not seen school deny someone CAS cos the person declared refusal to the school? Please answer this! I just told you what my school is doing and you are saying I am making things up. Bro people don't know it all óò. Sometimes you learn, you don't have to be right all the time. Have a lovely day if you can't answer what I asked. Say what you know and learn from what you don't know

justwise:


You don't know what you are talking about.

She got the CAS without making any transaction, so what are you going on about?

justwise:


Who is arguing that with you? What has that got to do with making transaction before submitting bank statement to the school?

Futureukstudent:
scroll down and you will see an example

justwise:


I saw it but still the school is wrong, making transaction doesn't proof that the account is functioning (Whatever that means)

Futureukstudent:
the point is every school has their rules of releasing CAS to students. Some do interviews, some share questionnaires, some check if you have past refusals. So you can't dictate to a school how they should issue CAS or follow same process UKvi use in issuing visa. That is the point I am making

justwise:

[/b]
It took you this long to make that simply point? You are talking as if all school follow the same rule

boblabob:
Please teeside applicants,can we communicate?

Futureukstudent:
lmao, you were the one talking like all schools follow UKvi rules bro. I only stated what some schools does before issuing CAS and said they may not give her till she met their condition. So I don't know what you are talking about

Futureukstudent:
the school will reject it straight up
