How weird i booked mine for 2nd, jan just yesterday

Royalejr:


My advice! First lock down that 13th January, then maybe you can start pressing for them to assist you with an earlier date. Slots fill up fast, so don’t delay any longer.

Thank God for this thread sha, saved my ass.. I saw someone post about this issue last week and I acted fast, Got 2nd January.

Lagos??

Yes lagos, you?

Lagos??

kode12:

When did you submit your biometrics? Did mine since Dec 2nd and still a decision hasn't been made. Its up to them really.

Standard or priority?

smileyluv:


Lol! That tracking needs improvement. Since 13th, it has only checked the first 3.

At least there should be Decision made, in transit to VAC, then we can understand its Lagos traffic that's holding it down.

Has it checked any other stage apart from the first three?

Please is it only my phone/network, or is TLS site not going through again?

This is just what it is. Paid for priority to avoid long wait and yet will have to wait for more than 2 weeks now because VAC has officially closed today for the week.

Until next week now before there can be any update. When Ukvi claims the decision has been made since last week Thursday. Yet nothing on Friday, Monday and now today.

I thought they said they only close on public holiday, which is tomorrow and next, hopefully they can open on Friday

Wow.. I submitted biometrics 19th Dec
This is serious, have you tried writing to them?

ThatEngr:
Good morning all.
@Kode12 I'm having same issue with you, regards the "not straightforward application".
Please has anyone scaled through this before? Do we wait their decision or we need to make complaints to them? Thanks

i think UKVI is lazy in processing application this xmas period so those who paid for priority are getting the "not staightfoward application " to cover up for them to turning it around quickly. Annoying because these priority paid a premium for it and are not getting any faster service

Nah. I've been there today. Was told to come back on Monday. Its pasted in their offices. 25, 26, 27th is public holiday for them. And then 1st of January too

‘Moral’ of the story :
Always prepare your applications well ahead of time. Plan well. As much as it’s within your power, plan way way ahead of time.

Please for those who printed their bank statement, is it a problem if only the first pages and last pages are the only pages that are stamped ?? Because my bank statement I’m using from Stanbic IBTC Stamped only the first and last pages . I was told that it might be a problem, that I should return to the bank and ask them to stamp all the pages.
Please how true is this ?

you are right in the sense that i have no evidence to support it ...........but knowing UKVI , government work in Uk is just like Nigeria . Nobody will stress themselves and a lot of people will be off for the holiday . Nobody send work load . They just pick and process a handfull and push the rest to later. So the fact that one or two have been processed no mean

I actually suspected this was going to happen, that's why I didn't even bother with priority. I just did standard Jeje. My school is supposed to resume Jan 24th so I still have some time. I guess being a busy period the work load is more.

I paid for super priority and had my biometrics on 13th of December and called for interview yesterday 23/12. No update as at now. This is a general problem and I think it's affecting everyone no matter your package, even if its supreme super priority.

Mehn this thing is looking somehow oh, I'm supposed to go back to work on Friday (offshore), but the agent I used is telling me not to go, (her point that they might call me and not be able to reach me, because call network doesn't go through there at work) because when they try and they can't get me it's going to be a refusal.
I'm just confused, if I go on Friday I'm supposed to be back 6th January.

Tho I can receive emails from there

Merry Christmas to y'all btw! �

Apparently, there was maintenance don on TLS site and this is the new look

I guess they want to use the break of the next two days to quickly upgrade, since UKVI won't be working either.
