Appeal takes a very long time. How do you know it was rejected?. Was it from Abuja or Dublin that u got the news and when was that?

I saw it in the last decision list published for Dublin, so are u saying I shouldn't appeal? Its really weighing me down

Good afternoon everyone, my visa was rejected and I'm getting my docs tomorrow. Please is it advisable to appeal as lectures for my course begins around October 5.

Othniels:
I have received my passport with visa. Applied March 6th 2020 before the lockdown. Decision was made last week of July. Passport received today 20th August.

Wow congratulations

Please those who just obtained their visas, how long did it take for them to process yours, let someone have small hope

Ritah53:

@ preye Good evening.
Please do you have an idea when she submitted her documents at VFS.
Was it before 29 July 2020 or after.

On the 27th

TONYE001:


Hello Preye..

Did you finally make it in?

I didn't go for uniabuja any longer. Wrote for uniben but they didn't get back to me

Ritah53:
Good morning family
Please any news on Biometric.Like has anyone done his or her biometric after 29 July 2020.

They called my friend to come for hers tomorrow

Dwebb55:


Yes you can. Ensure you send them a mail as well!

Wow, ok thank you

Olivesmusic:



Put those documents in a brown envelope, including 2 colored photocopies of each and send it to the embassy in Abuja via a courier service.

Address the envelope to the embassy and also write your reference number (very important).

Please can I do same for bank statement? I submitted a bank statement from December last year. Can I send an updated one?

Remson23:
Hello Nairalanders, please I would like to know if the 25% administration fee removal is applicable to test cancellation on account of suspension of exam activities by the British Council. What is the steps to follow in order to process refund in this regard. Thank you.

I have applied for a refund since May, no positive response up till now

johnsonolumide:


When did you submit?

On the 28th. So now we haven't done biometric, would they start processing our applications without it? This thing is not funny sha

abuhusna1:

You only need six months statements of account

Would they reject the one I presented, cos that's what my sponsor printed and it was already late to print another one.

Akindelepeter7:
They just attended to me after I fainted at there gate. Thanks for your suggestion. Peace.

Seems This fainting technique is really working oo. Thank God for you

Dwebb55:


All the lodgements that are lump sums in the printed account statement should be explained. You can submit the 7 months statement but it should not be older than 30 days.

Ok thanks

Please I have a question, my sponsors bank statement is 7 months. Would it still be accepted?
Again, would a bulk sum that was made before the 6months interval still be questioned?
@IcasNg @Dwebb55

Dwebb55:


Go to another branch. All their branches can't be having power issues at the same time!

Its nationwide dear, their server is down. Everyone is complaining

FCMB bank have been having power outage since last week. We haven't been able to print updated bank statements. The last statement we printed is already a month old.
Please guys do you think I can still use it

Dwebb55:


Lump sums and educational gaps not fully explained. Any lodgements above 100k should be explained and every gap as well

Wow. Thanks

Dwebb55:


So, I got my Visa approved today. I applied last year and was rejected but was told I could appeal. I did this and with the help of Icas and most especially God, I appealed the decision and today, my visa was one of those on the approved list.

I am awaiting the reopening of our international flights and will be in Ireland when school resumes in September. My advice is to put God first and seek the counsel of experienced people on the forum. I pray that we are all favoured in the coming weeks

Please what was the reason for refusal initially

Yaaay. Good news rolling in. congratulations dear

SameeD96:
Lol, na real wa o
Sent my appeal since January jare
Thank you very much

Such a long time

SameeD96:
It’s a study visa appeal o

Kai, na wa o. These pple are just giving someone unnecessary tension o

Just be patient, probably its cos of the ‘said’ technical challenge they are having. I wish u a favorable decision.

Meanwhile when did u apply?

SameeD96:
It’s getting confusing oh, I thought they said they were opened for applications and appeals processing.
@ICaSng, Please, Sorry for the stress. I sent a mail as you advised, this is the response.
They’ve closed again?

Was yours an appeal? And was it for student visa?

nalizzzy:
Good day people pls I took duolingo test they said they couldn’t certify my results because the speaking is not natural it looks rehearsed that I should appeal. Please has anyone had this experience before and do the appeal work or do I have to take the test again .
Thanks

My first result too wasn’t certified because my cursor left the test page.., i appealed and explain that it was because I’m using an on-screen keyboard. However I couldn’t wait for the appeal result so I just took another one, for free

IMustWin:
na wa o

Lets hope, it opens up before next week

IMustWin:
@Preye21,
Have you been able to book an appointment?

No I haven’t

abelorode:


That's a lot of money. Thank you for this. I made B&W copies of all documents at hand initially, now I have to make colored photocopies.

Same here o

Gladitor01:


Make sure you don’t go if you’ve not booked an appointment though, they won’t attend to you. I learnt that the hard way.

Yeah, they said so. Sorry dear

Hello folks
I submitted my application at VFS Lagos today and I think there are pieces information y’all need to have:

-2 COLORED photocopies of all your documents (Bank Statement included qnd 32 pages of all international passports)
Trust me I paid hugely for this negligence by vfs website.

This means your documents must be in 3 sets i.e Original of all and two different sets. You should make extra copy of your bio data page cos you'll definitely need it.

Take extra cash... It's important

Asides the 27k paid online to book you'll only pay 28950 at vfs.

- Bring ATM card no cash allowed for payment (maybe cos of the way covid spreads) to pay the 28k.
- Come early, that time on your appointment is scam. The earlier you go, the better.

I sense there will crowd in coming weeks cos the capturing machine used by the Ireland desk is faulty and this makes each person to spend close to 30 minutes getting captured.

Shalom.

I wish this was me . No slots for booking available anymore.

Woah, 2 coloured photocopies ..... that’s serious
So all the pages of the international passport should be colored too?

Please who has started his/her visa application

Sarina6002:
For those asking for prove of funds and all, I did education bond when coming here and I did not have to show any sponsors account, I paid the 7k euro and Edu sent me a receipt I attached the receipt with my documents I submitted to the embassy, I only get a letter (preferable a letter head I did not show any company’s registration certificate ) from my mom saying what she does and that she is my sponsor and that I have paid my fee and did the education bond.

For those asking for cheap school, Dit is the cheapest, and among the best in the country but around 8-12k (but it’s highly competitive)

Dbs, Griffith is from 11,500 to 13k

Nci, university of limerick and UCC are among the best free range from 12k to 16k

Trinity and UCD are the best but fre is from 16k to 35k.

Feel free to ask any question

So you didn’t submit any Financial affidavit? as I heard it’s compulsory. I dunno
