@justwise @Zoey1 can I walk into TLScontact to make enquiries about my passport without a dispatch email?

Yes you can.

Okechukwu2686:
@justwise @Zoey1 I spoke with the ukvi yesterday and I was told that decision has been made and I tracked my application on tls website and still with th3 DMc. When I called tls contact Abuja the guy started requesting for money 15500 for Vat. I think I spoke to a wrong person

You probably spoke to a scammer.

@justwise I got this number on TLScontact abuja website: 0802 058 1173.

Paste the link here, that number took me to a dodge instagram website page

Please @Justwise or anyone who would help me with this issue.

My visa has been issued for sometime now and I paid for courier service as the distance from my location to Lagos is much.

I haven't heard from TLS and I would like to get the number that I can directly call to lay my complaints as I have written them yesterday but it'll take 3 working days to get a response.

Bros it won’t be as easy but it’s not impossible.

Assuming u work 40hrs a week at £10/hr rate that’s £400 weekly (about £320 after tax and maybe £1280 monthly)

If you take out expenses like house rent, feeding, transportation and other miscellaneous for u, ur wife and ur son. You could survive on £1280 a month depends on where u live and the lifestyle but I’m afraid u might not be able to raise enough to pay ur tuition for 2nd year.

Baba thanks so much. Madam did her first degree and masters there, hopefully she will get a job to assist me. 1st degree HR and masters management, I pray God help us she gets a job while we plan from there. Once again thank you for the information.

Is your son up to school age ... if yes then better . If no then there still some jobs that have night shift and you both work around your schedule . If you work 20 hours and she works 40 hours , together you can earn £1800. Let say £700 of that goes into savings for next year and you manage on 1100..... after one year it is possible to have built up fees for the next year with both parties working and everyone been prudent . This calculation is based on almost minimum wage. If she gets a graduate job then you become even in a better position

Good day everyone.
Firstly i want to appreciate everyone here for their informed and timely contributions towards the tier 4 application.

I want to give out some piece of advise to those yet to apply or have already applied.
1. Please be sure you really want to study in the Uk. not just going for fun or sight seeing or even work. There's no point going through soo much stress just to go and underperform academically.
2. Read and read and read. Prepare and prepare and prepare. Check for contents that would make you able to be well prepared for the interview and the whole process. I watched youtube videos, downloaded materials etc.
3. While applying be careful. My experience opened my eye. For those using agent, don't be careless to leave everything for the agent. While appying i remembered that my agent scanned my documents to upload them. Then before my agent pressed the upload button, my spirit ministered to me to tell her to cross check...lo and behold she had mixed up the whole thing...infact no bank statement, rough scanned paper was showing... hmmn it could have led to a big disaster. So please be there and vigilant as your agent fills the form and upload documents.
4. When you go for the interview be calm. I wrote down ny keypoints on a small piece of paper and was going through them from time to time while at the interview premises. Be calm, composed and very confident. I made some mistakes i know but your confidence can cover it up. It didnt take more than 5 minutes.
They asked me:
Why the course
Why the school
Why the UK
My future plan.
5. Above all...be prayerful. This is a destiny something. I mean this opportunity, if maximized well, will take you to your canan land. I prayed and prayed.

dami24:
Hi, please my visa interview was on the 7th and I got a mail yesterday saying the processing of my application has not been straightforward and thus they will be unable to make a decision within their customer service targets.

I have been so worried since I got this mail, searching for an explanation to this. I’m so glad I found this thread.

Pls anyone, what does this mean essentially?
