Wow, just imagine.
I called them at midnight concerning my husband's application. I mentioned that 15 days had elapsed and all she told me was that a decision has been made and he'll be contacted soon for his passport.

gistbite:
I'm so sorry about that. Let's see what will happen in the next two days.

Jarus:
These guys just messed up my travel plan. I did biometrics on 13 Oct. Today is 31st working day.

My departure flight is this Sunday.

Don't know what to do now sef.

viktoh12:
This is good news tho most times
Means they will contact you soon

Jarus:
Standard or fast track?

Jarus:
Has anybody that did their biometrics on 13 Oct or later received their passport? Standard visitors

First of all, I'm so sorry about your refusal; but how many months bank statement did you print out?

The truth is, if you print out a 6-month bank statement from any Nigerian bank, it will only display:

"Total debit transactions within the chosen 6-month period" ,

"Total credit transactions within the chosen 6-month period",

"Opening balance as at the first day of the chosen 6-month period" and

"Closing balance as at the last day of the chosen 6-month period"

There's no way the system can generate an 11-year debit transaction if you request for a 6-month bank statement.

However, If you can hide your name and other sensitive personal details, pls post the front page of your acct statement so we can really see what went wrong.

Secondly, you stated that you would spend about NGN700k during your trip. I think that amount would not take care of your flight ticket, hotel accommodation and feeding for 17days, considering the current cost of purchasing flight tickets.

My humble opinion, subject to correction by the gurus.

Demotintin:
Please can someone work me through how to make this call. What numbers to call, is it a paid call. or I just need to have sufficient call credit on my phone. Kindly explain to me, as I have tried to call the numbers on UKvi but they were not connecting.
Tx.

Oh. I'm going to stock up food for two more weeks. I'll probably be in Nigeria till the second week of December.
It's been 32 working days for me now. So either this week or next week.

Debbieeeeeee:
My consolation is that after this application I won’t be applying to them until the next two years. So they’re free to misbehave as they please but they should return my passport by their 30-35 working days timeframe

Debbieeeeeee:
They charge so much for nothing , no embassy takes as high as they do for visa fees. The revenue they make from visa applications from Nigerians is enough to always auto fast track our applications. They now took away admin review and appeal rights to make people always reapply.

viktoh12:
Please did anybody noted ukvi have stopped the escalation service.

Debbieeeeeee:
Just got off the phone with our people. Current processing time is now 30-35 working days. I’m going to rest

gistbite:
Same ó. The next time is 2023 and it will be within their country so no stress.
I have 3 more days to complete the 35 working days

Lems2:
what number did you call please?

Debbieeeeeee:
Today is my 21st working day. Prophetess is tired

Debbieeeeeee:
I hope they contact you “soon” because they can be funny. How long has your husbands been ?

Soft42k:
Good morning to you all, i received a refusal letter this morning. I'm not pleased with the decision. I want to reapply immediately i get back my passport.

Debbieeeeeee:
Sorry about this refusal but I’ll say wait for 6 months before reapplying and make sure you address these issues raised by the visa officer.

Soft42k:
I don't think i need to wait for 6 months before reapplying. I'll reapply with same submitted documents, and reduces my budget to #650k or 700k.

luiginho2xl:
Also, what was the reason for the first refusal? Did you effect the change prior to this current application?
600k and below would be better. You could also reduce the number of days you plan to spend too. Anything to cut down cost.
