Honestly, I should. Thanks Amazoner01

Amazoner01:
You should pay me the pastor you know..... congrats

The address on my bank statement and my present address are different. It wasn’t an issue.

Emmyk:
I'd also like to know. I moved to new address recently, then I used it for admission application, meanwhile, the bank account I'm using for POF has my old address.

It's not an issue, I can update my bank address. I'm also interested to know if this is an issue.

Yes o. Thank you ma’am

Petdaughter:
Congratulations!!! so happy for you, I read your post here yesterday

Visa Alert!!!

Guys! God has indeed answered my prayers. Yesterday I said that I will get my collection mail today and indeed it happened. My story is this -

I had 2 Canada visa refusals, I was so confident that I would get the last one, that I took my study leave from work, meaning I practically resigned and started classes online which I did for 2weeks before the second refusal letter came from Canada.

Devastated does not even describe how I felt late September. I had spent my whole year chasing this study dream.

Long story short, I got a job offer Nov 1st, it’s fully remote and the pay is times 2 of what I was previously getting and now I have my Uk visa. The God of the 11th hour indeed showed up for me. My timeline is below:

School - York St John University
Conditional offer - Sept 29th
Unconditional - Oct 27th
CAS issuance - Nov 15th
Visa Application(Priority) - Nov 15th
Biometrics - Nov 16th
No NSF mail
Collection mail - Nov 24th
Passport picked up - Nov 24th

I give all glory to God and I thank the good people of Nairaland. You guys are simply amazing, I go through this thread everyday to get information and this was how I packaged my application and I met great friends here too along the way.

May we all get our heart desires and have our prayers answered. Amen

ritzzybaron:
I sent a paid mail this afternoon. I will receive my own Collection mail tomorrow in Jesus mighty name.

Basically, I asked for the status as I am due for a decision since I paid for priority service.

Chisom09:
Pls what's the content of your paid mail

Amen oo

Amazoner01:
Oya receive your visa!!!

I did my biometrics Nov 16th. No, I didn’t get any NSF mail.

joideviv:
When did you do your biometric and did your receive any NSF?

I did mine at TLS Ikeja too o. Fingers crossed, we will rejoice soon.

oluwashaun:
I so did on the 16th. TLS Ikeja and I haven't gotten collection mail..
I Don tire...

I sent a paid mail this afternoon. I will receive my own Collection mail tomorrow in Jesus mighty name.

Amazoner01:
You can try to send paid mail but I hope you’re aware that some priority takes 15 days and I also saw one that is just 4 days.

Hello guys,

Please is there anyone that that did Biometrics on Nov 16th, that has gotten collection mail? My application is still at DMC for a priority service. So annoying.

Didn’t get any NSF mail.

Have you contacted your school? Can't your school engage the Home office on your behalf to retrieve your BRP card? I feel like this will be the best way.

ocpaschal:
The person who paid visa on my behalf was based in UK, so I couldn't have known about the BRP collection process, and the third party selected "post office". The person didn't realize that in the CAS letter, there's a BRP collection code that gives the university the permission to collect BRP on your behalf, and i didn't notice this too. Sadly right now, the UK Home Office haven't replied yet by mail despite sending msg to Ukvi through their gov.uk website since last Monday concerning the BRP delay.. 3weeks don pas already..

Search for York St John University on Google and visit the schools website.

Bnaira77:
How can I apply to the school. Please drop the link.

I got a conditional offer from York St John University 4days after I applied.

bali233:
ok thanks. But how long did it take when u applied to get an offer?

I didn’t accept the offer from the University of Chester. I got another offer earlier as Chesters offer came late.

[quote author=bali233 post=107737902][/quote]

University of Chester asked for my POF and past visa refusal letters before I was offered a conditional admission.

iyutal:
I really do not think any school would ask for your POF before offering you admission....

Aproko Aunty, you could have passed your message without the sarcasm. I only asked a simple question. 8am or not for a walk in and you constructed a hate speech. Do better

Aprokodaughter:
People when dem don book at 8am till 5pm nko? Make dem wait for you because you don't want to spend your whole day lols.

Even people that they book at 8am sleep there. Anyway go there early hopefully they answer you.

Good evening House,

Please I need assistance here as I do not want to spend my whole day at the TLS tomorrow. I plan to do a walk in, please can I walk in by 8am tomorrow? Or is there a particular time that walking in can be possible?

I didn’t use UBA, so I am not 100% sure. However the following should apply,
1) Have an account with the bank.
2) Go with photocopies of your 1st degree certificate, Offer letter from your UK Uni, bio data page, transfer advice from the school showing the swift code/iban.

Just let the branch know that you want to initiate a Form A payment and you will be given a form to fill. Cheers

monvous:
Pls what is the process of using form A in UBA to make your school deposit...I mean what document is required and the process pls

GTBank’s turn around time is 2weeks. I am currently stuck… please flee from GTB.

RetiredAdult:
I’ve not seen anyone say they used GTbank to pay their fees. I’ve seen more of UBA amongst other banks. Is GTBank really that bad? Has anyone ever used them? How many days does it take?

You can direct this question to the moniker I quoted. Cheers

Lekods04:
Are you sure it's 517 or you want to say it's 571. Infact OANDA rate itself is not less than 564.


Just to confirm

Sigh. Today makes it a week I initiated Form A with Gtbank and I’ve been begging them to debit me.How I wish I opened a UBA account and used UBA

AKALAMAGBO:
UBA is blazing hot.... Got debited within 48 hours and got my telex within those hours with the rate of 517 naira to pounds and just a service charge of 11,500 naira for the service.... UBA remains the best

And your GTBank dollar card was funded? Have you been able to make the IHS payment now?

lawali:
Pls is anyone experiencing issues making payment for IHS or from yesterday till now?

The transaction was declined more than 5 times using my dollar card and have to start another application. It has declined twice again after that.
I have called GTB and they confirm no issue with the card.

Also, I am unable to book appointment on TLS Ikeja for a dependent I have completed his application. The site is forcing to pick super priority I don’t need/have money.

Kindly help if you have information on above 2 issues. Thanks

Hi Tawa, I had this concern too myself. My school asked about past visa refusals to other countries and even asked for the refusal letters before my pre-cas interview. I had past refusals from Canada…. So I was more than excited when I got my unconditional offer.

I felt free because I told the truth and I wasn’t hindered in anyway. What if these Uk schools share information with the embassy? And then the info you provide to the school and what you present to the embassy on visa refusals do not correlate? Will that not be a problem?

There is obviously a reason these schools are asking about it. This is my opinion.

tawa89:
The reason I'm asking is because I once got an admission in an Australian university, when I was filling the immigration questionnaire, I added that I have been denied visa to Australia before, my former workplace tried to get us to cover an event in Australia then, the school withdrew the application! I applied to another school informing them of the previous visa rejection, they offered me an admission and they said I have to pay the full tuition fee instead of the part fees that others were paying before they can proceed further, and I couldn't. I confided in some friends who live in Australia, and they blamed me for telling the school that the schools have no business with these, that I should have included them in my visa application when I was done with the school admission process and I was ready to apply for a visa, not the school questionnaire. I don't have any visa refusals from UK because I have never applied there but I'm worried if I include in the school's questionnaire they might discontinue my admission like the Australian school did years ago. I want to find out if there are others that have had visa refusals and the schools didn't withdraw their admission offers.
P.s the refusals were on my expired passport not the current one I'm using.

bali233:
what course did you initially apply for at chester pls?

Took over a month before Chester sent me an admission offer last week & they moved my session date to May instead of February. Good thing I had another offer already.

Omishor2020:
Anyone knows how long it takes to receive admission into the University of Chester. I submitted application just now

Got it. There’s really no free meal anywhere anyways. Coming back is the price. Thanks for clarifying

Benediktejike:
It depends on the scholarship.. chevening and commonwealth requires you to come back. And you somehow can't escape it cos they are in contact with the UK embassy and home office

Oh I see, thanks for the info.

jtech17:
yes I know of a lady in my area that came back this year from Scotland... don't know if shes working yet, but shes back.. so if you want a fully funded scholarship know that you are returning back

So those that get funded scholarships will come back to naija after their studies? Interesting

jtech17:
95% o ppl ain't on that path oo... come bwack bawo..n do weytin... ..

Yes I have.

Gigli:
Have you applied to the university?

Hi Anu sent you a mail.

Anunwereobi:
Yeah

Hello All , Please is there anyone going to or already in York St John University here ?

Thank you once again. I've gotten my medical appointment set for next week.

phadriz:
Walk in is not allowed again in IOM Lagos, just send the mail you will be given a very close date, that's what I did for my family but if the date given to you wasn't favorable you may reply the mail to appeal for a closer date.

I insist don't go there if you don't have appointment, because you won't be attended to, it is clearly stated in the memo paste on their gate.

I wish you best of luck.
