congratulations! dont worry good news awaits you.

what tls and what was your date of biometrics?

ignis:
I just received a collection mail from TLS. However I paid for courier delivery.

Please how long does it take for DHL to deliver the passport after receiving the collection mail?

My heart is beating very fast....

i think you may need to keep sending emails to UKVIand TLS. Until they answer you. notify them that your school has your BRP.

a. School Application 15th Feb
b. Unconditional Offer 15th Mar
c. Pre-CAS interview 14th Jun
d. CAS Alert 15th June
e. Visa application 8th Jul
f. Biometric 19th Jul

b. Biometric 19th Jul
c. Decision made for dependents 10th Aug
d. Movement to VAC 12th Aug
e. Collection mail 12th Aug

Tension-filled waiting period. 2 weeks after submitting biometrics MA received NSF mail to provide TB test certificate. The said certificate was the 1st document uploaded during the application (a bit concerned when it came). The immediate reply was done and an escalation mail was done 5th of August. The rest as they say is history.

Documents submitted:
a. TBT Test certificate
b. Passport Bio page
c. CV + Employment/promotion letters & reference letters (to show 14-year study gap)
d. Studies evidence
e. Marriage cert + family photos + family change of name affidavit
f. POF statement + LOE (to show the reason for 1 lump sum payment received and disbursed for an unrelated payment)

I have been a silent reader but I can say categorically that this thread and all the participants were the reason we did it ourselves against using paid agents. The confidence espoused was motivating, hence our decision to go alone, even after agreeing with an agent.
Immeasurable thanks to @justwise, @Duchess90 and so many others that made it look possible and kept the stress levels down with words of encouragement. The Lord replenish your effort.

See you there!!

do you know if a decision has been made?

Liell:
No, still at DMC

quote author=TANTUMERGO007 post=115632496]
Have they transferred you to VAC??

yes i did.

Liell:
Hello,
You did your biometrics on the 25th of July at V.I TLS?

its 0.69 pence per minute. but you wont be charged until they link you with the call agent. and the call wont last up to 2 or 3 mins. its very fast. once you tell them your ref number they reply you and thats it. but you will have to input your card details.

TANTUMERGO007:
How much is the paid call??

i did mine on the same day as yours vi TLS. i just did a paid call and they said decision made. but TLS status hasn't moved. so may be do your paid call too. at this point i guess its just a waiting game.

TANTUMERGO007:
I did biometric same day, please where did you do your biometric??

amen o! we are waiting!

TANTUMERGO007:
The God of 11th hour do it for your children

amazing! congratulations! may we all testify soon!

@duchess90, @mimilyrics, @justwise and all the Gurus in the house. We are really grateful

turn your phone horizontally so you see a spread of dates. go to august, all the dates you see the "sold" orange tag means those are dates that time slots can pop up. for now you have to pick whatever date you see and then amend later. i think there are time slots for Aug 20th or so.
hope this helps.

but you have to put your phone horizontally or use a laptop

Kellyd2:
what do I do hear

you have to pick a TLS service at step 1, either assisted or self service, then the icon will allow you click to step 2 and 3 respectively then you can book a date.

Kellyd2:
Thanks a lot. I kept my phone horizontally and I was able to view it. I guess step 3 is for booking appointment but it’s not highlighting.

the linked icon is what you will click on. i assume you are using your phone , if you turn it horizontally you will see the linked icon change to book appointment. from there you will choose the service you want from tls and then book a date.

if you can use a laptop please do its better.

Kellyd2:
Good evening all. Please is this where appointment is booked. If yes why is the buy a product not highlighted like the others

self service

hurry '

mrkonibaje:
Self service or assisted ?

there are early dates in TLS VI check now.july 25th - 26th

Massive congratulations!!

Paid Call for all dependants: 8th of July ( Decision has been made ) Ope o��

Transferred and received by VAC : 15th of July

Collection Mail : 15th of July

Collection of our 5 Passport: 18th of July with Vignette sitting pretty on it ���
------------------------------------'
Ok, Back to the main gist ;

I submitted a proof of Fund from 1st of May to 30th of May.. (30 days pof)

On the 3rd of June , Someone here said she was refused because she Applied and paid both Visa and IHS 5 days to her POF maturity of 28th days .. when i saw it, I was devastated because I applied on the 17th of May, Paid both Visa and IHS same day...but printed from 1st to 30th of May which means I only held it for 17 days .. MOGBE!!!��‍♀️�‍♀️

I became so worried , but Thank God for God , @duchee90 and @Mosinmiloluwa that came through for Me and gave me hope for NSF .

Kindly note, My pof has been in my account since March, Paid my full tuition fees in April ... submitted my pof for cas ... from March 30th to 27th of April ( Cas was given on the 12th of May)

Hence , NSF became my everyday prayer cos I really needed it to print another POF for them .. infact I've informed my account officer I'm coming to the bank very soon .

When I got the first NSF for my 10 years study Gap , I kept on praying for the second one so I can send the POF to them .. but it's didn't come . On the 28th of May I made a paid mail and I was told decision has Been made and Collection mail dropped! How ? Why ? Without NSF for the POF ? That was when I realised what my school told me then that they are sending my documents with my POF and Bank Reference letter to UKVI for my CAS , so it has to be up to date .

Documents submitted : Passport,POF, Degree Certificate,Transcript, Neco Certificate, Change of Name , Marriage certificate , TB Certificate, IHS and Visa evidence of payment, Cas file ,checklist , Visa Application form ..(Infact I uploaded enough documents for them )

Dependants: hubby - his POF , Marriage Certificate, Biodata page, family pictures in a file , TB Certificate
.
For the kids: Hubby POF, Consent form signed by both Parents, biodata page, birth Certificate, TB Certificate.


I declared 2 Canada study visa refusal 2015 & 2016
1 UK Visiting visa 2021 December.

The kids also declared UK Visitor visa refusal ..

It was Only Hubby that was given the Visitor Visa and He Spent just 2 weeks

All declared !!


I'm just so happy seeing our passports with visa stamped in it ...

It's a dream comes true Fam...

Like what Pastor Jerry said on NSPPD on the 6th of June : He said.. "STOP THE FEAR , NOTHING WOULD GO WRONG" I held on to the word and God Came through for me and my Family ...

I'm also saying to everyone here waiting for their Visa that You should "Stop the fear; Nothing will go wrong .

As we are Investing into our future and that of our Family , May God Smile on Us and Ours�May We All Eat the Fruits of The UK Land . Amen

Sunderland.. He We Come .. You Must Favour Us �

Thank you so much Everyone, God bless �

Congratulations!!! I receive mine soon too in Jesus name.

NOTE:
I made a mistake in my POF calculation.POF was held in account only 9 days when we submitted the application and paid. I never knew the money has to stay full 28 days before submitting the online application. My POF matured on the date of my biometrics. I calculated from the date I deposited my POF to the date of the biometrics.
We have to eschew unnecessary fears cos must of the things that make people cancel their application doesn’t really matter to the UKVI.

To all of you still waiting for their decisions, it shall end in praise.
Cheers all.

i just noticed something from the picture you sent. under TLS services its showing no services. you are meant to pick the service you want from step 1. if its self service you want, there's an icon showing more services, click on it and choose self service. then it will show under TLS services (it will still show as 0.00 because its free). but by doing this you will be able to see time slots under the dates available.

NB* The time slots may not show now.. but refer to my previous response to you and keep trying. but you should see icon's showing "Sold" in orange. time slots will come under any of those dates showing sold.

hope this helps.

Jidonu:
I am trying to book a biometric appointment for VI TLS but I the page isn't loading any dates or time slots. Please Is anybody else encountering this problem. Any solution please

you are welcome. I paid in pounds (used a pounds card). if you have a dollar card from your bank it should work. your naira card may not work because of the $20 limit. what you want to pay for is 55pounds. just make sure you have a card that's working ready.

Jidonu:
Thanks a lot for the response. Please Did you pay in naira or in dollars?

Yes it happened to me yesterday, but i kept reloading for hours. time slots will pop up but you have to be very fast. i first got Aug 10th but my card declined and then i tried again and it was gone. eventually i got Aug 9th, then in the evening i refreshed and saw the 8th then i amended it.
so just keep trying any date you see for now just pick it because it will go within minutes and then try to amend later.

Online application – 14th/15th June (started around 11:30pm, so finished in the early hours of the next day).
Biometrics (Abuja TLS) – 27th June.
Application transferred to DMC – 27th June.
Application received by DMC – 27th June.
TLS collection mails (I don't know why they sent two, but they did) – 14th July.
Passport (with vignette) collected – 15th July.


Documents submitted/uploaded:
1. Passport data page.
2. Transcript.
3. IELTS test certificate (I could've used my WAEC result, but I had already written IELTS since February last year).
4. Tuberculosis test certificate.
5. My bank statement generated via Zenith Bank's mobile app (no stamp/seal/signature).


Here's me wishing you all good luck in your respective applications. Try to be as honest as possible. Even if you make some mistakes, as far as those mistakes are not grave, UKVI will rightly access you. After all, you're only human – and so are they. Good luck and Godspeed to the rest of you once again.


PS. If there's anyone here going to Nottingham Trent University in September, I'd really love if we could connect. If there's a WhatsApp group to join, that would also be swell.

Check the airlines website directly OR check Wakanow. the only downside to wakanow is that theres usally issues if you want to change the ticket date. However, if you buy directly from the airline the process may be seamless. if you are sure of your dates then wakanow or Travelstart has good prices,
