Thonybayo:
Hi Everyone,

Following @cumulus announcement i have been tracking my application process (practically every five minutes) using the ukvi provided portal and to my surprise, the last time i checked my status had changed to DECIDED.

I am now waiting for the notification mail from tls contact and i am nervous as hell concerning the actual decision.

The ukvi site works, just keep on checking using your application number (GWF).

Thank God for another good news. More of this will be coming our ways. Please how did you track on UKVI?
Priority application should take a minimum of 5 days if I'm correct?

@Mimi, you should expect yours soon..

cumulus:
I got my decision mail today. Still hoping for the best. Thank you.

Wow!! I'm so happy for you ohhh.. When did you get the mail? You should expect collection mail by today's evening or Monday morning.
I'm so happy for you. I pray to get mine soon.

Who has gotten a decision mail please?

cumulus:


I have gone past worrying. I am on the waiting game. Today is my 30th working day after biometrics and still no decision mail.
Hoping for the best

Just keep praying and hoping. we'll laugh last. You could start shopping for your flight self

5hyguy:
august 15 is two days ago or u meant july

Oga 2 days ago oh.

danielloso19:

submitted Aug 15 at Ikeja Priority. The last mail was prepared for consideration. Still hoping

ajoke007:

I did my biometrics on the 21st July at Ikeja.

Priority?

Yes let's give them till Monday. It might be the paperless visa processing that is cause this delay ooh..Schools will soon start resuming oh

Susom:
Not at all o..I bought my ticket in faith tho...the rate at which tickets will go up by august ending ehn

I'm telling you. I just dey pity myself oh..

You paid for priority right, what was the last mail you got? What is the stage of your application by tracking on TLS?

The tension is really real ohh

Susom:
I am a lady thanks. My visa is still not out

OK madam. Have you gotten any mail from SHEFO that your application is currently being prepared for consideration?

danielloso19:
good day rafael please i am also in the same situation i submitted my documents and did my interview on the 13/07/2017 at the ikeja VAC received email from tls on the 14/07/2017 that it had been received by ukvi and then on the 20/07/2017 received another email from VISA.INF sheffo that my application had been received again by ukvi , now it is well passed 15 working days and at 21 working days and still no decision made email and no contact. i am even more worried because my intended date of travel is on 20/08/2017

i wonder why its taking so long and hope this is not a bad sign . please feel free to contact me if you want to talk further concerning this matter.

Was the Mail stating you online visa application has been received at the Decision making center and currently being prepared for consideration by the Entry clearance?

CapitalCee:
Hello guys, after submitting my application, can I still be told to submit my statement again? Because a lot of ins and outs have happened in that my account since 31st of July that I printed the statement. I will be having my interview and submission of documents next Monday.

Mini lyrics, Justwise

I'd advise you should try printing a new bank statement somewhere around Friday or Monday morning before submission.
Either ways, you need to submit the most recent Statement of Account.

Susom:
I paid for Priority Access, Submitted my application at the centre in Abuja on 3rd August, it was sent to sheffield that same day but, decision is yet to be made. So what i think is paying for Priority Access means that your application will be pushed to the front from the centre however, (Correct me if I am wrong) I dont think the Officers in Sheffield will leave other applications to attend to yours. Premium Access might be different tho. Also Remember that this is Summer, so many people are travelling

Oga how far with your application?

expertman:

Please House how can some one track Uk application status .

application for visit submitted at TLS Ikeja since 5weeks ago but no mail or sms yet from them.kindly help out.

Jesu!!!! 5 weeks

obeauty21:



Thank you. If the money is not up to 10k dolls I dont need to declare it right?....

When did you apply for your VISA could you please share your Timeline with us?

Has anyone used Priority Ikeja for his visa processing?

please How do I confirm that my payment for IHS has been successful, I didn't receive any mail from WorldPay, though I got an IHS reference number but I didn't see where I was supposed to include it on my application(Or Am I supposed to write it with pen on my visa application).
NB: I've booked and paid for visa already.

Happy Sunday everyone,

Please who knows how best you can pay for IHS fee, I tried using someone's card from the UK but the payment was declining.

mimilyrics:
You probably selected Abuja on the first page you got when you started your application. You might have to restart your application. I've attached a screenshot to guide u.

You just saved me

Question1:
Quick one please..

Have I made any error somewhere... I'm trying to book an appointment. But the only location that appeared was Abuja, but I want Lagos..

What should I do?

CapitalCee:
Please will I have to state the amount I have in my statement of account during the online application? I mean the amount stated in my statement,will I have to state it on my online application? Or it's just during submission of my documents that my statement has to come in.

Cc justwise, mimilyrics

No you don't have to.

What about this ?

Lastly, I just figured that my uni made a slight mistake on my final cas, My CAS has my Place of Birth to be "ABEOKUTA" While It was "LAGOS" according to my passport. I wanted to submit my visa application this night or tomorrow morning before, so should have to wait for my Uni to rectify the error, or I should just submit, and pick a date whiles the Uni do the correction on Monday?

justwise:


There is nothing wrong with your CAS or the explanation by your school. So I don't know why you are worried about it. The CAS made it clear that you received some discount and the actual amount you paid.

Thank you sir, and May you live long.

Endlessgrace:
Pls dont get your self worked up dear, your CAS is explanatory enough. I got a scholarship as well from my school and it wasn't stated on my CAS but calculated as fees paid, it was added to the amount i paid and that was it.



quote author=Question1 post=59391189]

@ Justwise, I was confused about it so I screenshot that section and forwarded it to my school. Here is the case. My total tuition fee on my offer letter then was 15k. And There was international Student scholarship of 6k for me, and I paid the remaining 9k to the school myself. So, when I received my CAS letter, in the Financial Data, it shows COURSE FEE: 9k, underneath it I saw COURSE FEE PAID: 9k. And that was all, there was nothing like 15k on my CAS letter. Except that towards the end of the letter, My School noted something like this:This student has been awarded a University of East Anglia International Office Excellence Scholarship which will
provide a reduction of £6000.00 per year in the international tuition fee of £15000.00. The course fee shown
includes the fee reduction.

So I became super confused and I mailed my school for clarification and they said: I’ve checked the advice from our International Student Advisory team and the questions regarding the financial sponsor is usually for official sponsors – such as Governments or financial sponsors who are wholly sponsoring students. You would not fall in to this category with your scholarship from the UEA, therefore you should answer “no” to the question about receiving support from a financial sponsor.
As we have given you a scholarship your fees will only be £9,000, therefore you should state your fees as £9,000 on your visa application. If you stated your fees as £15,000 you would need to show evidence that you can fund this amount, however you don’t need to fund £15,000 as your tuition fees are only £9,000 because of your UEA scholarship.

Oga, kindly help me oh

Thank you, may God bless you for me.

Where did you read that from?

sleyflash:
@justwise and @house...
I finally opened a second account (sterling bank) and trasferred the fund into d acct becos my main personal account I also use it for business purposes so as not to be tempted to tamper with the cash during the 28 days count.

Question 1. hope this new account holding the cash have no negative effect on the visa decision?

Question 2.. the transfer was made today wen I ordered for statement d opening balance didnt reflect. will d opening balance reflect on saturday or on monday? So i can know when to start count the 28 days..

Thanks and God bless u all

Yes, it doesn't matter whether you just opened the account. Normally the money should reflect tomorrow so then you can start tomz.
I hope it helps.

cumulus:


Any update? Please share

No update sir. I wanted to seek her opinion.

@cumulus, have you checked your mail today?

mimilyrics:
A decision will soon be made. I've got the same on my page too. Once it is, the other options will be marked or might skip to passport returned.

Mimilyrics, Kindly check your mail. It's a matter of urgency.

Everybody, I am just getting to know that it is either you get a full scholarship or nothing.... As UKVI does not consider half/partial scholarship that the universities normally give to their students, such as International Student Excellence Scholarship or discounts. Please take note.

Hence, a question like this appear on my visa app.

Do you receive support from a financial sponsor that meets the UK Visa and Immigration definition of a financial sponsor?

Make sure you just answer "NO" to this question, its for those who received a whole scholarship. Eg, I answered "No", cos my school gave me 6k scholarship.

How do I answer this subsequent question.



Do you have any remaining fees and maintenance still due for payment?

Course fees:

Maintenance:
Note that, I have completed my fee payment.

Lastly, I just figured that my uni made a slight mistake on my final cas, My CAS has my Place of Birth to be "ABEOKUTA" While It was "LAGOS" according to my passport.
