Congratulations Brother.
Please is there any person who applied around July and hasn't seen theirs?
NoUser0: Nah, not yet. I’m just trying to find people so we can connect, since the university is reopening for new students on the 15th of this month. We wouldn’t want to have a boring experience over there, so I’m planning to create a WhatsApp group where we can share our experiences..
Also, when are you leaving, or are you already in the UK?
Am still waiting for my Visa.
I just sent a nairaland push mail to u. Can u please check your email
NoUser0: Hello everyone. Please, for those already in the UK, could you share your experience at the point of entry? Also, is there anyone here attending the University of Sunderland?
Yeah, u am going to university of sunderland. Is there any whatsapp group for the school? I messaged the Africa manager but he said No
Please, does anyone knows what I can do to reach out to ukvi, I've already done two paid inquiry and since 30th July that I have applied for visa, Am yet to get a response from ukvi, I've already done two paid email but I was notified that it still under consideration. I now informed them to escalate it, but they told me that escalation can only be done after 12 weeks. My University enrolment begins on 15th of September which is 1 week away. Please what do you think I can do? I already emailed the MP Begum, but I was told that it will tke 10 working days before they get back to me.
Has we have a lot of cases of people with standard visa application still not getting a response after more than 6 weeks of application/no response. If one applied for priority visa, is he/she guaranteed to have a faster response or there are people that also have delayed response with that?
Then how much is the standard student visa application fee? And how much is for priority visa?
Tokzdapp: Yes I did paid call 2ce , sent an escalation mail to UKvi but was told I can't escalate cos I got a delay email. I've sent mails to school if they can help with the escalation as my sponsor
Try and reach out to the MP of the area where the school is located
Victoriousbabe2: Visa alert God finally did it for my daughter.

Blossomfirst: Thisis exactly my situation now. Biometrics 20th in Enugu. 26th automated email that they are working on my visa applicaton, 28th survey email which I am yet to fill.... Enrollment is in two weeks

xx1v: It's Crazy. Messes up the individual. Makes the individual useless to themself. Just keeps refreshing and staring for a mail with ukvi as sender... It's crazy man.
Am in this position right now, I've been waiting for thei r email, my Uni enrolment begins on 15th of Sept. I've applied for visa since 30th of July, I've even done paid enquiry, I was told to keep expecting it, I messaged home office directly using their sheffield.student email address, I was told that they can only escalate it after 12 weeks.
Imagine this people. Sometimes I wonder how many days it take to make a decision. I actually understand that if you get your visa earlier, your case is being handled by junior caseworker but those ukvi tend to send "unable to make a decision" to.... always have their case handled by senior caseworker for reviewing.
This people didn't even look my side at all... I just feel lost right now. I don check reddit tire, still pple wey dey wait plenty small.
I even contact my bank to ask if ukvi has reached out to them, bank staff told me they haven't received any message from ukvi concerning my statement. Just imagine since more than 30 days ago.
I pray God help me out IJN and everybody in this kind of scenario as me IJN
I did my Biometrics on 30th of July, though my university is due for resumption by October 2025, and enrolment start my Sept 15. But I haven't received any decision from ukvi. The only email they sent to me is "Unable to make a decision". After then I hve done paid email enquiry but the guy attending to me told me to keep calm that they will get back to me. But am yet to receive a response from them and am very scared as majority of people that did theirs on that same 30th of July has received their visa since at least 2 weeks ago

Some Nigerians/Africans are really making us proud abroad. We have Nigerians performing very well and competing against the majority from other countries. There are 3 Nigerians contesting in Aston University Student Union Election.
1. Adeshina Ajobo is running for SU(Student Union) President
2. Ufuoma Funmilayo Obanua is running for the position of Student Union Vice President(Welfare)
3. Stephen Ugochukwu Ikem is running for the position of B.A.M.E Officer
Amarathripple0: I said I wouldn’t comment on any job related posts but I’d be doing a lot of people like you a disservice.
Pivoting from sales to Data Analysis is pretty straight forward, some companies like TikTok and Amadeus even call their Data Analysts - Sales Operations Analyst/Manager.
If you don’t have the actual skills, there’s a guy on YouTube called Alex the Analyst, although I’m not a data analyst, I learnt how to use Tableau with his videos, he simplifies the process. He also has tutorials on Power Bi, SQL and more (see below) You should also follow him on LinkedIn!
Final advice is to tailor your CV and LinkedIn accordingly. If your CV is too diverse, might limit your chances of getting interviews. Your CV should be in line with the roles you are applying for.
I was given an admission (Data Analytics) to Study at Aston University, Birmingham. I will be resuming next year January.
My Question is:
1. Will I be able to get a job under Data Analysis Role considering I studied Compt Science in Nigeria, and I resigned earlier this month from the Role of (Sales-Analyst) in the company where I was working.

Long story but try and read
This journey started early this year Applied to University of Bedfordshire for Sept intake. Conditional offer was given, Paid 75% of Tuition. At the time of Credibility Interview, was denied CAS...Why? beacause I had a recent refusal this year.
Ok All hope wasnt lost...I requested for refund. A week 2,3,4 weeks went by ... still couldn't get the refund after sending lots of mail... funniest part was, they didnt respond to any of the mail. Applied to LJMU and Greenwich University for Jan intake since i couldnt meet up with sept anymore.
Received Conditional from LJMU and Unconditional offer from Greenwich . Went with LJMU though. I needed to make deposit of £4k, Bedfordshire still hasnt refunded the money..... My hubby Went online and saw a petition againt Bedfordshire where they didnt refund an Applicants money over 4-6months I think, Untill the petition. I was like haa Morire
I sent another mail to the school, searched for the school's admissions team email, the departments, every email i could find from their site and cc: all. Telling them I will also raise a petition or do worse if my money wasnt refunded asap.
Within 24hrs, they responded that that they are processing it and will take 2-6weeks to receive it.
Oh my God Within a week I received the refund ...All thanks to God Bedfordshire chapter closed.
Paid initial deposit , got unconditional offer from LJMU. Then CAS...Applied for Visa, on biometrics day I missed my appointment, had to reschedule and booked Flexi for the next day.
I was actually scared the school or the ECO might reject my application again because I had 5 refusals...But, a guy testimony here on nairaland gave me of hope and courage . Finally.....It ended in praise
Declared all refusals Canada study visa 2x Usa visit Australia Sweden
