Dafemnent...i also made mistakes on mine..what i did was write a letter explaining my mistakes signed it and put among my supporting docs. One of the mistakes was putting a diff hotel address from the one i actually booked.. another one was wrong date of birth of one of my children ( dont judge me i was tired) . And since we all gpt our visa I guess they were fine with my letter.

Thanks a lot.

Hello everyone.

I want someone to shed more light on this pls.

I am going for Msc and I have made the first payment of tuition fees £7636 and i was issued a CAS. So far I still have to pay the remaining balance of £3817 by January.
Now i have N2.5M in my account for my living expense ( I'm still counting for the 28 days) , and someone told me that I must put the N2.5M + £3817 (before printing out the bank statement) . If not my visa will be refused.

BTW my course start date is 21 sept, and final enrollment date is 5 oct.

I'm so worried and confused, pls how can go about this

wow the rule is u should av the minimum living expenses plus the balance of ur tuition fee in acct for 28 days. I.e 7380 + 3817£ (dats 4 outside london). U need like upto 1.5m to add up going by the oanda rate

Was there yesterday after waiting for over 3hours,they said my documents were not there yet.. However, I got the decision made email right in the TLS office yesterday. So its looking like they will contact via email again before collection is done. Been waiting for that email all day, Nothing yet. Tired of the wait..

Obioraezike:

@pet01: please did u receive a message from teleperformance to come for collection ? I received a message yesterday from them that a decision has been made and that my documents will be sent back; but I am yet to get another message to come for collection.
I applied at their VI office.
Thank you.

Yes, I got their mail today to come for pick up after the mail yesterday that a decision has been made on my application.

Hello house. This is my first post here. Your answers have been really helpful.

My school is resuming 14th September. I am submitting my online application tomorrow and I'll be using the Abuja center. I am told I can only get an appointment day 2 days after online payment. I am a bit worried as time is against me. Your thoughts please. Thank you

Drop me your email pls

Replied your mail

It's been 10 working days since I submitted my application at the VI VAC, and am so eager to get this email saying a decision has been made. I am really anxious. I can't wait to pay for my flight and bus ticket to school.

I was also there yesterday around 10:45am and waited till around 2:45pm, only to be told (at the room upstairs) that my passport and documents havent arrived. I got the mail that a decision has been made while I was there. I may even have seen you.

After my experience there yesterday, I can only say that their service delivery is very,very,very... poor --to say the least. The security guys at the ground floor are quite unprofessional and disorganized.

congrats bro

I got a full scholarship from an oil company abroad for my PhD,I want to know if I need a letter from my university to the embassy as part of application docs.I'm a lecturer in a uni here in Nigeria.its just a study leave letter.

U're almost there, just a little more patient and I'll get ur visa.

usqoh:

kk. i guess u ar waiting for d 28 days to elapse. i still dont know y dat company neva give una award letter. if de av, wit it only, u can apply and get ur visa

LOL! They haven't. Someone from last year got his on the second week of September. So I've decided to go on without them instead of waiting till then.

Abeg, there's no point going to the collection centre if you haven't got the email inviting you to come collect. I was at the V.I collection centre today, sat in a long queue and then queued again upstairs. I had gotten the decision email since Saturday (but not the collection one). The guy at the counter simply tracked my application and said "it's not ready". That was all.

If I had got the email, I could have at least argued that I was told to come, but I just wasted my time going there today. I guess I was just really curious to know the outcome because time is very vital in situations like these.

Please I am having difficulties paying for my visa because of the new daily transaction limit of $300. I need alternative ways of making payments. Urgent help needed

Your best option would be to pay the balance of your school fees to your school as soon as you can, so they can reflect in your CAS that you owe £0 in tuition fees. That would leave the N2.5M in your account sufficient for your application. If you put in an extra 1.5m into your Nigerian bank account to boost the amount, you would have to start counting the 28 days from the start again, and wouldn't make your school start date of the 21st.

For banks such as Standard chartered and First bank, (and I think GTB) the limit on online transactions is 1 million naira plus. Try paying with another card. It's only overseas ATM withdrawals that have the $300 limit.

Wasn't a nice experience in there yesterday.. But I will be there tomorrow again-email or no email.

Okay, thanks

I returned from the UK after my graduation in June. I still have a valid student visa up till October. I have now gained admission to study Law in another university in the UK. I want to obtain my visa here before leaving. My mother has an investment with kakawa Discount House which she has operated for over 3 years. It is a monthly investment that she rolls over which runs into millions. Kakawa has also given us a letter to that effect and we have printed copies of the monthly letter they always issue to her. We printed each month for the past 12 months. The question is: Does the British embassy accepts Kakawa Discount House. It is a financial house and First Bank has the highest shares. It has also been given approval to operate as a merchant bank. Please I need advice. Has anyone tendered a letter from Kakawa in the past? What was your experience?

A friend of mine is applying tomorrow to come join her husband in the UK who is on a tier 4 visa, my question is, will she be interviewed like a tier 4 student and if yes, what are the likely questions that will asked??

Thanks in advance for your help guys

I tried severally with GTB without success. Can I fund my paga wallet or am I likely to have same issue?

I would very much doubt that U.K.B.A. will accept that as finance.
They want to see an account in a bank with instant access.

But what you should do is contact them and ask your question.
Here you can only get an opinion, they will tell you the facts.
