From Nigeria

Thank you

Hello house, please would I pay the 210 pounds for the test kit from Nigeria or when I get there?

oppsonn:
Congrats....

thank you

[quote author=ferguson1 post=99824724][/quote]Thank you, The questions were very straightforward. 1. Why did you choose to study this course? 2. Why did you choose this particular school in this city? My school has like three other branches. 3. What are your future plans? I can see you have a visa refusal from Canada, what was the reason for the refusal and what course were you going to study? What are your course modules?

[quote author=Sulee23 post=99823678][/quote]Thank you

Visa Visa Visa Visa!!
What God cannot do does not exist!!
After 9 visa refusals, God said the set time to favour me is now.
3 Uk tourist visas
3 Canadian study visas
1 France tourist visa
2 American tourist visa
Priority Application: on the 3rd of February

Biometrics: On the 4th of February at TLS Abuja.
Then came the longest wait ever! On the 15th working day when I didn't hear from them, I sent a paid mail. They replied the next day saying a decision hadn't been made on my app. Omo, I tire. My TB test certificate expired the next day.

On the 2nd of March, I got a mail from UKVi requesting proof that I have been attending lectures which I got from my school and immediately submitted to them.

I started rejoicing and hoping for a response soon. Then boom I was sent an interview mail on the 8th of March, and the interview was scheduled for the 9th of March by 2 pm. I prayed and prepared. I couldn't even sleep that night but God isn't man, he doesn't break his promises.

On the 9th, I got a call by 2 min past 2 pm and the interview lasted for 14mins. I was surprised o cos I had already prepared myself for an hour-long drilling but God showed himself merciful.

On the 11th of March, I got collection mail with my visa intact. What God cannot do does not exist. �����

Now I can sleep well.

I have met some truly supportive people on this platform, who kept checking in and encouraging me, may God bless you all. Thanks for all the support, answers to my questions, and information shared on this platform.

Ps :- I drafted this message in faith on the 9th of March, the same day I did my interview.

Ezriela:
It is well. The comment self shock me but learn to ignore dear. It will end in praise before the end of the week,you will get positive feedback

The thing tire me. Amen, thank you

segzyndpep:
Please are you already in the UK?you enroll without visa?I actually dont understand your situation.

Because of the lockdown in the UK schools are operating online which means as long as you ve paid ur fees you can start lectures.

Thanks for answering this.

TB test is not usually asked for at POE, I believe it more mandatory at the time of visa application so I would say No, you don't need another TB test

You think they have time to ask me if I have been receiving lectures if they have confirmed it for themselves? It will be outright refusal without wasting time. I haven't missed classes as was stated on the letter from my school.Please carry your negativity elsewhere

Regex:
UKVI can only ask you to prove your attendance if you haven't been attending lectures or your attendance is very poor.

Best of luck. For your TB, do another one, because you may be asked that at the point of entry.

Ok

nicerichard05:

DeeOneBangin:

Congrats in advance.

DeeOneBangin:

eddymatti:
What is the name of your University?

Good morning, After almost a month of paying for priority I got a mail from UKVI yesterday asking me to provide evidence from my school that I have been attending lectures. I have submitted a letter from my school stating I have been enrolled and I have been attending my classes. My question is my tb test expired while with UKVI. Please will that be an issue?

Congratulations!! God be praised!!

TIMELINE. Silient reader here.
Being following daily since this new page was created at 1. To be honest, I would say our case is really a testimony. I want to say a big thank you to someone I reached out to on here since day one, he was constantly checking up and praying even after he left for the UK, plus his kind words really lifted my soul. I can't remember handle but I have thanked him personally, so here.

Biometrics 21 January, ikeja priority.

After 2weeks, we started calling, we called atleast 4times to know the update. Decison hasn't been made, not knowing they had been trying to reach our sponsor.

18th February, refusal email was sent, that sponsor could not be reached, the days he was communicated but didn't response was listed. 4 times. Twice each in 2weeks.

19th February, sponsor sent an email stating why email wasn't responded too, gave reasons and we waited with hope. Tbh, I had alrdy given up because I felt like this wasn't AR, it was like try your luck and they probably won't reply to the email.

23rd February, email to pick up passport was sent and my spouse went to pick up, no visa was issued in it.

24th February, email was sent to confirm that Sponsor has been verified and passport be resubmitted back to VAC.

Today, 2nd March 2021. Passport collected with visa.

I really don't know how to feel, just really thankful, the efforts, monies spent into this. In all I am so glad that we didn't relent or relax when the refusal came in.

I wish everyone still waiting all the best.

Thanks for sharing

Tips to pass credibility interview because I had mine.
1. Make sure you don't let feel u have tie with country you are going. If asked, don't admit you have relatives in that country.
2. Make sure tou try to let the interviewer see how u could come back to Nigeria and make use of your studies. Find away to take their mind off thinking you want to work in the there after studies. Don't even say u will further to your studies there after u finish.
Make them feel u are strictly going to stay at the school accommodation or recommended accommodation. Research if the school has accommodation or the accommodation is the one the school recommend for students. Know the address and cost and different option they have.
3. Don't ever say or show interest in football if u are mistakenly asked. I knew someone who was taking through that path
4. Make sure you research your course. Know what the course is all about and make sure you relate it to what you want to use it for back home.
5. Know your school ranking. Awards and so on and so forth
6. If you have study gap, tell them u were working and make sure your job line relates to the course u are going for. Form something. Connect the course to your work experience.


The main idea of the interview is psychological to test you and find out if u have any plans to not return back to Nigeria. So u must show how relevant your course is to u in developing yourself back home.
Talk slowly with confidence. They can read your voice and the way you respond to questions.

If you need more information just let me know.

Ablecrystal:
Please do your research well and be articulate with your response.

Did you consider any other university?
For the same course?

After your NYSC, what have you been doing?
What job description and role did you occupy?
Why do you want to return to your studies now?
Where you able to use what you studied in your undergraduate in your job roles?
What core modules will you be taking?
Which module will you be interested in?

Disclaimers question/ talks
Is there anything else you will like me to know regarding your application?
Are you still feeling well at the end of this interview?
Are you happy with how your interview went?



I hope this help someone to prepare well.

Thanks for sharing

VISA ALERT!!!
God Almighty has done it.

Application submitted – 02/02/2021
Priority payment and appointment date selection – 04/02/2021
Biometrics – 05/02/2021 (TLS VI)
Got a not straightforward mail on 11/02/2021
Got an interview request mail on 16/02/2021 to take place on 18/02/2021
Interviewer called 4mins before time advised. The interview, from what I have been reading on this thread, seems to be the shortest because it lasted for just 13mins 10secs.
Then the anxiety began, I will refresh the tracker like 10times an hour every day.
Got another not straightforward message on 19/02/2021. Hmmmmm, my heartbeat increased.
When anxiety no let me rest, I called UKVI on Wednesday 24/02/2021 and was told decision has not been made yet.
Then on Friday 26/02/2021, during my regular tracker refreshing, I saw application transferred to VAC @10:54am (Screenshot it immediately…as if they will reverse it…LOL). Decision and collection mail came in 11:19am.
DHL delivered on 01/03/2021 with my Visa smiling at me. Visa has been issued since 24th Feb.
1 UK visit visa refusal declared.
What God cannot do does not exist!!!
For all those waiting for your VISA, it will surely come.
This thread is loaded with wonderful people, I have learnt a lot from questions and answers provided, I have got help for TB date swap, I have silently and dutifully followed Part 4 and 5 page by page and all I can say is WELL DONE everyone.

Ibm08:
This is really serious.

The best reason is known to them but you suppose to have escalate this after 6working days without getting a response from them rather than waiting this long.

Hope your fund is still in your account?



I have been receiving lectures online. Course start date was 29th of January. Intended date of travel was 16th of February. I did my biometrics on the 4th of Feb at TLS Abuja

Yes, my fund is still intact. If I don't hear from them by 4th of this month I'll contact them again

[quote author=OmoMay03 post=99506242]Sorry about that. But please, how did you contact them via paid

3 weeks now, and my application is still at DMC after paying for priority. Contacted them via paid mail on Friday and they said my application is awaiting decision

Viola2017:
Please I just got my Telex today but then my 28days count will commence by tomorrow. Is it proper to send the Telex to the school (Ulster)now or do I wait until my POF is up to or close to 28days

still, send the telex to the school

Dembele11:
See eehn I understand the wait, for me it wasn’t easy. But I personally don’t worry about the things I have no control over.

To your question, I didn’t get any mail at all. In fact it was at still at DMC. Just be patient that’s all I can really tell you. It’s a waiting game.

I haven't gotten a mail too, it's just at DMC. Do you have previous visa refusals?

[quote author=Dembele11 post=99369210]VISA ALERT!!!
So i finally got my visa after registering biometrics at the TLS office Abuja on the 12th Of January (PRIORITY), yes you read that right 12th of Jan 2021.

The date on my passport showed that it was approved on the 15th of Jan (3 days after my biometrics) and sent to Nigeria. I really do not know why it took that long. i still feel cheated and i want to get a refund.

i like wahala

Congratulations !! Your patience needs to be studied. I did biometrics on the 4th of feb at TLS Abuja, Priority and till now no feedback. Did you get a non straight forward mail? Did you ever contact UKVI? The anxiety this wait causes no be here o.

I'm getting worried o. I paid for priority processing since on the 4th of Feb and till now no news. No mail from them saying anything. Please, who has been in this situation before? What can I do?

Pegzzyg:
You shall announce your testimony too, please hang in there....

Amen, Thank you

Hello, please I have a question. When applying for a UK student visa, does one have to go for a visa interview like that of the US?

Not at the moment because of covid
