CastedDude:
For those who submitted in Lagos, you should know that the date VFS forwarded ur application to Embassy in Abuja might be different from the day it was received by the embassy. I submitted my application on 8th of July in Lagos and it was forwarded to Abuja on 9th (the next day) but the embassy told me that my application was received in their office on the 11th.

For you who submitted ur apllication on July 3rd, maybe there's a mistake somewhere because it cannot take weeks to reach Abuja embassy. It might only take few days. So I think ur application has been with them since and they are working on it. You will get good news soon.

i guess this people are playing with us or mind o

Please how important is PTE in visa application, is there any implication of not including it.

Same response with me from visamail

I knew there was an issue somewhere
How come applications submitted from third week of July and above were already receiving their visas.
So we are supposed to wait till middle of September while mist schools are starting soon.
These people have really dealt with us

Henrykingiv:
Congratulations bro. Where did you apply from and what state did they deliver to you.

I am asking because I applied on the 12th of July and nothing yet.

Congrats bro

When did u submit? I submitted on the 1st of july and still no news yet

Tarzan253:


I applied at vfs Abuja on the 8th, it got to the embassey on the 9th of July. haven't received any update yet

I also applied on 11th July, it got to Abuja on the 12th of July. Still waiting for visa. It's general, there is nothing to worry about.

I have a friend who is giving out his accommodation for 15days at 11euros per day and 175euros for 15days from 3rd of September in Dublin 1. That can be used pending when you get long term accommodation.

alusiala:
Guys this accommodation thing is deadly. How are you guys doing it? I've been checking booking.com and all the properties there are either unavailable or very expensive. I need somewhere temporary to stay for like 1 week.

ifechez:
Please how important is PTE in visa application, is there any implication of not including it.

I hope you submitted you submitted the copy of your PTE result or any other recognized standardized tests. But if not, I think you might be lucky because of this busy period at the embassy, there are hundreds of applications waiting in line to be attended to, many visa applications might not be closely look at. Just be praying.

whattttt? �

I think we should do something about this.
Send emails and complaints
We can’t just stay like this is nothing
It’s really unfair

I dont think there is a need for sending many emails, they stated that they had much more applications this year so its not like they are doing it on purpose.

I was already panicking thinking I am the only one.

We wait!!

Sorry, location is dublin 7

How did you get a long term one?

Hmm...they have to step up their game. Turnaround time shouldn't exceed 28 - 30 days max for student visa.

....and then, they're asking way too much documentation for a study visa

Hello Orji16,

You should inform the embassy about your resumption date and update your school on your visa status.

I am supposed to attend my orientation on 4th September and lecture start date 9th September, but after I sent an email , they replied (see the attached image) requesting that I ask for letter of extention of resumption from my school. I have done that yesterday and I was exempted from the orientation, ,my resumption was extended to 18th September and I have sent the letter to the embassy accordingly.

Regards.

Louis

A friend sent me a facebook group link where ads are always posted for Dublin alone

breezy147:


How did you get a long term one? Can you assist with that as well?

Seg11:

You can you share the link.

I think the link cant be shared here,i tried sharing yesterday and it got deleted automatically. Probably its against the rule of this platform

breezy147:

Oh OK can you share the link? I wanted to reach you offline because I discovered you are also going to TUD

Exactly what I've been saying! Their visa process hasn't really adapted to the increasing number of applicants. I don't think it should take more than 3 weeks to decide if someone should study in your country or not. And they ask for too many documents smh.

Seg11:
Wow! smarter!

Thanks bro

It is almost the same mail I received from Abuja embassy. You will soon get ur visa even before the date u were asked to send a reminder. Hope u are tracking it via UPS.
