Everyone, please be very vigilant especially if you have gotten a decision but it's taking longer than usual to get your passport back. I know they will tell you to wait 10 working days after getting decision before you will get your passport but THAT IS NOT NORMAL! We all know it doesn't take that long to get your passport back. People that get a decision on the 13th working day usually get collection mail on the 15th working day.

Today made it 10 working days after decision/brp letter and I hadn't gotten my passport. I called British High Commission Abuja customer care and the staff that took my details called my mobile line later that night and was demanding 50k before he could track my passport for me. I did my bio since the first week of August so, the past 8 weeks have been from one battle to another. Luckily, my friend told me yesterday that she had a family friend in BHC so I quickly gave her my details. The feedback I got was that my passport had basically been abandoned! UKVI didn't even bother to inform BHC to print my visa. It was my friend's family friend that sent an email to UKVI and they finally approved it that same yesterday. My visa was printed and was dispatched by DHL today!!! Due to their negligence, I have already missed a lot in school and I will still miss classes of next week and a bit of upper week because one-way flight tickets for this coming week are showing 2M and above.

All I'm saying is that be vigilant! It's not normal for our passports to just be sitting in BHC office collecting dust. Infact, if it's taking longer than 3 days after decision, start sending emails and blasting them with calls. BHC o, UKVI o, all of them are incompetent!!!

If e hard
Take a ride to Ghana...and buy the ticket.. it's can't be the same thing with Nigeria

With all these issues mentioned here about delay in visa approval, what is the fate of those whom are yet to recieve admission offer but it is expected to come out this month. Would it be possible for one to meet up against resumption in January?

I asked myself this same question. Let's just hope. I'm expecting an offer too for January resumption. I'm praying both unconditional offer and CAS drops this month.

Please,I seriously need your help on UK Student visa application. Biometric was done on the 25th of July in Abj, I made my first paid mail on the 23rd of September, no decision taken. I escalated it on 24th of September, I was told to wait for 15 working days. Meanwhile, after the escalation I was requested to send my date of birth and email address, which I did. I made another paid mail on the 1st of September and it was still awaiting decision. I have been making paid calls each week till now and yet awaiting decision. I made a paid call on the 16th of September and it was escalated again. Am so worried,this is the 8th week of waiting. Though I have completed online pre-enrolement but my school gave 3rd October as a deadline for joining. What could be responsible for this long and unusual delay? Is there anything else to do? Anyone who has passed through same experience and what was the outcome?

Good evening,
Please I will like to confirm if you have gotten response from UKVI. Monday will be 15 working days after my escalation and I haven't gotten any feedback from yet.

Sure. Don't be discouraged, a friend just got hers visa yesterday 30/09/2022. She did biometrics on 07/09/2022. It is very possible to get it in 3 weeks. What I don't understand is why some are been delayed. Never be discouraged.

Thanks for the encouragement

Sense is far from you. The people involved have been married with a child. They got to UK n having marriage issues.

Learn to stop concluding n focus on the question. If you don't have an answer, just pass through.
If you have the same sense you would have dropped a clearer message for better input.

You can do better!

Visa Alert!!!
Family of 5

Application 5th of August

Biometric 16th August (Dependants did walk-in on this day)

All Moved to VAC 16th August

On the 7th September, Paid Call was made using Skype and Chipper cash virtual usd card, decision was made for all

MA received collection mail on 16 September

3rd Child received collection mail on 17th September

Husband received collection mail on 18th September

2nd Child received collection mail on 19th September

On the 20th, another paid call was made again and the agent confirmed well that the remaining application’s decision was made sale day with the others.

I started getting worried

On the 23rd, I went to British Embassy to complain, they noted it down,

I said this isn’t normal, at this point, the battle isn’t for the eye alone.

Started fasting and serious prayers, and on the 25th, the last application moved to VAC in the morning and before evening, 1st Child collection mail was received

Picked it up on the 26th September


@dduchess, Thank you for your support. I have been following silently for a while. I wish everyone the best.

Meanwhile, I have more questions

1. The last passport collected, the BRP letter didn’t come with it like the others and nothing in the mail yet till this moment, should we be worried about this?

2. Will transit visa be needed flying with Lufthansa airline?

Thanks.

Thank you.

Also please, is it a must to submit study leave?

dduchess90:
Hello

Yes you can study if you have your first degree

There is no extra process, its the usual admission steps you need to take.Ensure during your visa application you declare you worked for one of the armed forces

Hello house,

Please is there any special thing a married woman who wants to relocate with the kids alone (husband not going with them) need to provide or do?

She is a housewife so she didn't work after her bsc. Is that an acceptable reason for work experience they normally ask to cover years after school?



Even if he not going , for visa purposes it would be best he applies as well. It very difficult for kids visa to be approved without both parents application
