One thing that still bothers me is; is it that UKVI cannot confirm via the online application website if you actually applied and paid online?

sashacoleman: I've gone there ooo. Was there most of Friday. Will go back there on Monday.

What did they say?

3sha4lyf: ...

Told you that guy is the lucky one.

sashacoleman: So guys I have a really serious issue and I don't know what to do. I applied on the 3rd and after waiting for over a month for my visa to come out, sheffield finally responded to my numerous mails, informing me that they have no record of me applying for visa. This is after I have submitted my application, paid, done my biometrics and my interview and for submitted my supporting documents and waiting for over a month. I am at loss at what to do because I feel like yelling at someone. I need some advice please. I submitted at vi (unfortunately)

Jeez, this just got ugly.
I told someone in the general section that those guys are having management issues but he didn't believe me. Tier 4 visa would never take that much time to change status. Mine took 1 month to change status to "package received and waiting to be accessed".

You need to print that email, go to teleperformance and demand an elaborate explanation.
If you don't be a pain in the a$s to them, they won't solve your issue

Really feel sorry for you

Pweety1: Hello Guys(@justwise, @donoms etc), Please I need more assistance in completing my form.

I will list all the parts below

1- Have you been assessed by the sponsor by other means(I don't really understand, because it includes artwork etc, I was assessed using my certificates only)
2- Please indicate how you meet the minimum English lang. requirement(I am using waec eng, don't know the choice to pick)
3- Fees (paid to uk education provider or overseas higher education institution, i don't understand.... pls explain it to me)
4- What original document supplied showing evidence of payment
then this is this part Points Claimed

5- CAS and Maintenance, Total

Kindly assist me... I don't want to fill the form wrongly.

Thank you guys for the usual support

1. No
2. You've been accessed by your Higher Education Provider and they have determined bla bla bla. I think that's the last option
3. overseas higher education institution
4. Parent bank statement, personal bank statement etc.
5. Cas: 30 points, Maintenance: 10 points, total: 40 points

gmolen: Yes, I do. I have for GTB and Firstbank.

Good. You can use the mastercard gateway, it is way cheaper than other gateways.

For GTbank mastercard:

You'll need to get your activation code from the internet portal.
Follow all instructions on that page. It should forward you to mastercard secure code website where you have to do a registration.
After the registration, you should have an activation code and a secure code.

You will be required to use those codes to pay via mastercard gateway

xkobans: I've done these,
Gotten admission for him.
Paid fees.
Gotten CAS.
Booked for Tb test aswell.

What next.

Go to that link i gave you and read all you need there.
If you have any specific question, then you can ask

kemkem30: I said I have my CAS already. I was hoping I could use my letter.

Good, therefore your school should recognize you as a sponsored student.
You can apply with the sponsorship letter

Tuesday

gmolen: I have a GTB master card that I normally use to make payments directly on the website of interest. How exactly do I use the mastercard gateway if it is different from what I have been doing. Thanks.

Do you have a token?

xkobans: Goodday house. Please i want to apply for tier 4 visa for my younger bro. Where do I start from?

Get admission, pay your school fees and get your CAS.

Then head here: https://www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration/study-visas

kemkem30: @justwise @spikesC @donoms
I am really grateful for your help. They wont pay all at once, because ppl may abscond. My school fees is 19150 and maintenance is 820. Now 820x36= 29,520 while 19150x3=57,450. The total is 86,979 GBP. My scholarship in naira is 24,816,000. At the current exchange rate of 280 (oanda is 276) my award in pounds is 88,628. This is still above 86,979.
I am asking if I can use the letter since it is still above my total. I am hoping I can explain using the space for additional info. Please I hope u understand my explanation!
Ps: I have my CAS

So you haven't gotten a CAS?

You need to show a total of £26,530 for now and that is a little above 7.4M.

So, when the money is paid into your account, pay your school fees in full and leave the rest in that your personal account.
After, 28 days, you apply for Tier4 student general VISA. You don't need the sponsorship letter for the application.

gmolen: @ SpikesC, which card and gateway will you recommend? Thanks.

Mastercard via mastercard gateway

kemkem30: do I have to pay fees to apply?

Have your school given you a CAS? without the CAS you can't apply for VISA.
How much is your school fees per year? The 8m that would be paid next week might be able to cover that and the maintenance fund.

The thing is that, we're trying to determine if you should submit the sponsorship letter as proof of available funds or you have to get the money in the account, leave it for 28days then submit.

kemkem30: My start date is 1st of October. I intend to pay in the second week of September.

That's risky. visa is processed in 3 weeks

Chaze85: Guys how much is d application online by naira?thank you

Depends on the card and payment gateway.
Between 85k and 95k

kemkem30: Its not stated in my CAS. The award is from a Nigerian university(where I work). I hope I can still use the letter.

How did you pay for school fees?

gmolen: Greetings great people, please I want to know if I can do my TB test with a photocopy of my passport data page. I have an appointment for 19th August at the Abuja test centre but my passport is unavoidably absent for now. Thanks.

Yes, they only need a copy

royal34: Hey guys,
please i need urgent answers. I just got my CAS and i intend to book an appointment for my tb test next week and also begin filling out the application form but before doing so, i want to confirm if i can use a fixed deposit account?. My dad told me that i could use it at first oh now he is telling me that it isnt an account per say that the would take money out of it and put it back the same day some confusing statements like that so he told me that this process is due to be carried out on the account on the 18th of this month. Now im confused as to when to use the bank statement. can i use it before the 18th? and has anyone used a fixed deposit account to apply? how did it work out for you?

You cannot use a fixed deposit account

justwise: [/b]

I found one....you should have said stuff like....its 'god' that issues visa,....you know of an uncle who sales ice water under the bridge that was issued 5yrs visa even without inflow & outflow in his account.....

I think VISA is overrated, my aunt actually got to UK without an international passport

justwise: Nope...i prefer a slice of Thailand

Now i think you're a North Korean spy

justwise: [/b]

There are loads of kids there these days ... browsing nairaland....looking for ways to get to the UK through Sahara... ....with mum's family business bank account

Now that's wicked

Vicjustice: I was actually assuming that you are an adult when you said something about going through a university.

I've learnt to stop such assumption. Some educated black people had warm and salty bath yesterday you know

worry359: Vicjustice & justwise BAD PEOPLE!
Now we have been told by an expert!

And all these thousands of threads we thought that they were trying to help and guide people.

I think they're russian spies, sent to disrupt people from travelling to western countries

Shlt just got funny

.

worry359: Big screen is ok at home.
Remember if you have huge laptop then you have to carry it round to school and lectures.
Big laptop is heavy and clumsy to carry.

Do not be influenced by boys who have to carry biggest / latest laptop because they have small joystick.

Which one is small joystick again.

Many people need all that power, you know. It is not for fun, that's why they keep churning out very high performance gigs.

I for one manage an I7 server gig, 64 gb ram and lots of ssd. It is even interfaced with a seperate cache server but the damn monster keep crashing down once in a while when faced with very heavy traffic.

3sha4lyf: Rotflmao. But seriously, C'mon... I can imagine going to the library with that widescreen... what am I using it for? lol. Well that's just me. Heard guys won't mind using that kind of screen but I like small things. Used a 13" Sony for my first dissertation and then Apple IPad for all assignments, note taking and even partly the second.

Wish I could manage a big laptop (not computer) like that.

13'

Well, i believe everyone uses laptop differently.
For me, the wider the better. I am a software and web developer, so i need all the screen real estate i can get. I prefer a 17' and a 32' external display or even wider.
Entertainment is best on wide monitors. Can't imagine myself playing games on a mini

Ishsoph: 'There was never any catch' baa?
I pity softsparky

Blood of God!
Gat to quarantine you here

Liar!
Mention names if you're saying the truth

softsparkyy is not a catch. She's sent from heaven

Me don already Quarantine myself indoors

A is for Amaka, B is for Blessing, C is for Chinelo, D is for....

Make i continue


BTW, hope say you don take your own dose of salt and water

akinke: Please I will like to ask, has anyone used UK Embassy at Teleperformance, In Victoria Island Lagos, I have applied for Uk Visa for over four weeks and I have not heard from them, and the update on my application on the internet is nt corect also, it says I havent even applied when I have already.
Please has any one used these people, and should it take this long, I cant even report because there is no contact on their website, they opened the branch july 1 2014 tho. Pls helpppppp!

You are not alone

The tracking website data is always fluctuating. But i hope you actually registered on the website before submission.

They have a feedback form but they don't reply emails. Just get the correct status of your application from ukvi here: https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-outside-uk

3sha4lyf: Just curios, pls how come no one is concerned bout the size of this lappy screen? 17" screen for studies
...

Don't get me started

tobee: @ Justwise, please is it necessary for me to include my transcript in my supporting document? My CAS only stated BSC from UNilag. It didn't categorically say Certificate. If yes, do u have an idea of how to get transcript from Unilag as they DON'T issue transcript to individuals.

It doesn't matter, just use the certificate
