Thanks for your response.

Don't worry.. Scotland is cool, you will enjoy the landscape and the architectural masterpieces. The people don't speak English, you might have to learn another language.

Mind you, when you land, you will enter into a pact with the cold weather to take it easy on you. The cold is brutal!

Hello people

Scottiemi:
Good morning everyone, Pls would like to know if anyone in the house is living in Scotland, Paisley to be precise and how it has been. A student would also be wonderful as I am a student traveling down later this month.

Owk sir, thanks for your quick response, but 15 working days is not yet complete, should I just stay calm. @Justwise

Hubby passport received on Monday 6th and entry to the UK approved for btw 24th Aug to 24th Sept. He's to pick up his Visa at his school's Immigration Dept. Thank God we took a leap of faith and booked Emirates @ N192,000 to Birmingham on the 18th of Sept.

Best of luck to all those waiting
Thanks to all the guys and babies who make this group educative

Thanks for this

From what I've seen so far this year, UKVI has been treating applications within their official timescales except for unique situations where they might need more time to verify information on an application from a 3rd party.

OK, thanks dear

OlowoB:
You will get your visa within 3 weeks because students coming to the UK this year from Nigeria has been low for obvious reasons.

All the best.

Wow, hopefully mine will not take too long also. We will all get good news in this month by God's grace.

MaEssien:
Not necessarily, hubby was interviewed on the 11th of July in Abuja (standard) and he just received email this afternoon 1st Aug. that his passport is with Courier. Exactly 15 days.. We hope for good news

Congratulations, my visa type was standard not priority so I guess I have to wait for a longer period
