True it’s not… Infact they have recently added it to their requirements

Especially if you have study gap

Congratulations
I think you mean 5th of May 2026 not 5th of April 2026

kevweflex:
It was standard. But regretted it though. Should have used priority, because the school offered to pay for it at the initial offer before they deferred it June. So we thought the offer will no longer be available due to a new deferred CAS and just opted for standard as there was ample time from 5/5/2026 till school start date June 15. But little did we know that it was like a case of "penny wise, pound foolish". Not like we can't afford it on our own, but you know na, you want to save money in every step of the way.
The letter was sent by UKVI June 16, after a paid general inquiry was made to them with a strong case.

Good day house, please can one use a uk bank account in applicant’s name for pof? The student was in the uk for one year foundation program and will have to come to Nigeria to renew for the remaining years of university. If they change the money to naira and back to gbp, they will be losing money. Kindly advice. God bless.

Yes, you can. You can also combine it with a Nigerian account.

Congratulations to your brother.
I’m also here for my sister.

She couldn’t meet up with January due to delay in visa processing.
Did biometrics priority service 9th of June, got SLA not met email and unable to process within the published time email the following day.

We are truly hoping on God like this.

Bigbabyy0:
lol cuz you saw their new post about cover letters

It doesn’t still stop them from calling you for interview… the interview is even more better so as to explain yourself more

Please how can one get latest news or updates like this?

Please guys i have two questions

1. Can one submit documents before going for biometrics or you have to do biometrics first?

2. Is it necessary to pay for priority visa or you can do standard and get your decision within a month?

Submit documents before going for biometrics.

Priority service possible chance for early decision or feedback but not guaranteed. Standard might take longer but depends on one’s circumstances.

Thank you Boss

Remove your CV, you don't need the CV
Your reference letter is already enough

I would say include your employment letter, payslips and reference letter from your Boss. This should do.

You can as well add a cover letter to briefly explain what you have been doing since graduation.

Okay, I can get the rest but there are no pay slips, it's more like a stipend pay job, I was mostly paid in cash

Apart from doing priority, what other measure did u take to get a faster visa decision.... Did u include a cover letter to explain anything

profpius:
If your father is the true source of the money, then you should clearly state “parent/family sponsor”, even if the funds are currently sitting in your own account. What matters in most visa and school applications is the origin of the funds, not just whose account they’re in.

Please I genuinely want to know, have you personally filled a student visa form? Cos this is not an answer anyone who has filled a student visa application will give? I'm just asking please.

This question should be for the person whose brother got his visa some days ago

Oh good. That's a good sign. Just hold on, a decision will be made sooner than later.

2. Is it necessary to pay for priority visa or you can do standard and get your decision within a month?

1. You may submit it before it before going for biometerics. You may use your phone to scan your documents, where the documents have more than one page, just combine them using Word or any document processor you are comfortable with. But if you wish to submit the documents on the day of the biometrics, be prepared to get that done with a fee. I think this might take some time. I recommend submitting at home in a relaxing environment before biometrics, that way you know you have uploaded all the required and supporting documents.

jaydave:
Are d conditions required to get your unconditional offer personal statement and your waec confirmation via request for confirmation option on waec site ? If yes, how long did it take them to issue your unconditional offer after fulfilling the conditions ?

Yes, it is, but I can’t remember how long it took because I did the application since last year.
