Seslie:
Hello Everyone. I just got an email saying my application has been concluded. I applied for the priority visa on Friday (4th October). My question is this; after getting this email, does anyone know how long it takes for the document to get transferred back to the VAC and for pickup?

This happened when I tried to book appointment for my sis. Your best bet is to re-do the appointment, you will get a message that you would make payment at the TLS centre, you ll be able to choose a date that way. Afterwards, go to contact us and shoot them a message, they will reply with a rebate form to be filled for the processing of your refund.

I'd like to chip in some pointers:
1. These loans to friends/family, are they often returned?
Unless "these loans" are gifts, they shouldn't count as monthly expense. You need to address this on your cover letter and mention what & what are loans and when they'll be returned and if any has ever been returned, that should go some way. This helps reduce your monthly living expense. If they're gifts, different ball game.

2. This means you earn 478k/month.
You need to explain how you earn this side income and also, show that you get at least 178k per month from that; I'd suggest you work with the minimum side income instead of the average. Here, minimum will help you present a more realistic financial proof than average.

3. Is your rent calculated in your NGN160,000/month living expense?
If no, here's what to do: divide it by 12 and then, you can effectively show what your rent is on a monthly basis and also explain that your rent is annualized and not monthly but it costs so so and so per month which at a certain time in a year (indicate when you usually pay your rent), you pay in bulk to your landlord.

4. NGN1,000,000 is too much (per UKVI consideration) to spend on a trip.
I mean, it's your money but it's their rules. So you need to reduce the amount you've budgeted per expense category. Because you didn't specify the details of the different expense category, I can't say much about this but even without the knowledge of that, I think you need to cut your budget in 2, for starters.

You've got a Leave Allowance? If so, should also help.

Good luck!

How long did it take them to refund you?

Thanks for your input. It's been really helpful.

Regarding the living monthly expenses. Does one-off purchases like electronics etc count towards it?

And yes, I have a leave allowance of 100k. But it wasn't mentioned during the first application, I feel like bringing it up now may look a bit weird. What do you think?
