Thanks. I submitted a student loan letter along with my POF. The short of it is that they didn't recognize the student loan letter.

corpershun:


Hi Tolvin
So sorry
Did they later send you a reason for refusal
Been following your story few weeks back.

Thank you. I will

justwise:


It takes about 6weeks up to get that sadly but you have to keep disturbing them through email until you see your money

Hi Guys, please how long does it take to receive IHS refund from UKVI after visa refusal? I received a decision letter on August 2nd and it's been over 7 weeks already. I have sent series of paid emails to them and they've not responded.

cc @justwise and others

Prodigy Finance does that too. Although they have select schools they give out to.

EmeeNaka:
Please, is there any body in UK that offers Student Loans? Just like the Mpower for US/Canada.
Please, I need to know.
Thanks

Thanks, I just sent an email to you. Thank you

seanblax:

I am. How can I help?

Hearty congratulations!!!
Thank you very much.
With the faith of everyone here, I believe I will get a positive feedback and share my testimony too soon!

Owlette:
Visa Alert! Visa Alert!! Visa Alert!!!

What God cannot do does not exist ooh! ����
Story time guys!


So here’s my timeline below:

Application submission: 20th July
Biometrics: 26th July (priority for main applicant)
Paid email sent: 4th of august
Response from UKVI: 5th of August - Application still awaiting a decision
Collection email: 9th of August

(For main applicant and 3 dependents)
My daughter’s application is still at DMC and I’m sure it is because they had a very difficult time getting her fingerprints on the day of the biometrics. Different staff in different booths tried before we managed to get the fingerprint. Now, this made her own passport get separated from the rest of ours. By tomorrow I’m sure hers will drop too.

Collection: 9th of August and Visa Granted!!!
The wait was almost unbearable but we thank God that it ended in praise.
I wish everybody who’s expectant speedy processing.
@Tolvin, you will testify soon. I’m rooting for you.

Hi, the best time to call is actually 1am - 5am. I called them around 1am and I waited for about 15mins before one of their agents picked. Then, I called again to follow up around 8am and waited for over 20mins before an agent picked.

Henrowalata:


Pls is there any specific way to call this number because I have been calling it but it’s not connecting. Pls throw more light to this.

Please Tolvic can you share their contact number. I need to put a call through too. Thanks
quote author=Tolvin post=104582948]Update - I just finished making a paid call to UKVI and the agent I spoke to collected my visa application and contact details. She was really surprised as she said she had not witnessed this before.
She said that she saw that a decision was made on the 2nd of August but she is unable to view the decision as it's 'private'. She told me that I should expect a feedback within the next 15 working days (ideally, she said it should come before then). I believe that it will end in praise!!!

Thanks to everyone for your posts. I really appreciate you all.

@justwise

I am really scared tbh. I uploaded all the documents myself and even went over my application severally. Why do you think my passport was left untouched? No vignette and no refusal letter. Like I followed the rules to the letter. @others please, has this happened to anyone before?

It's been a rough couple of days but I believe that all will end well. Thank you

Ymc007:


I really hope it ends well for you and in your favour. I can't imagine how worried you would be.

Amen! It will end in praise.
Thank you very much.

kayalade123:


It might not be a refusal after all maybe they might ask you to send your passport back cos have read this kind of case here before. Just wait for their response. It is well!

Thank you. I have done that. I'll share an update as soon as I receive one.

perisabc:
IMO, it was an oversight. Report via paid email and it will be sorted asap.

Thank you

mattfeuter:


Yes it has.

I’ve also seen some cases where you’ll get the vignette on your passport and no visa letter.

I don’t think there’s need for you to be scared as long as you did not get a refusal mail.

Maybe they forgot to affix the sticker in your passport.

Best thing is to follow up with the paid email.

All the best.

Thank you very much. I have checked my spam and all inboxes and I don't have any mails from UKVI at all. I will follow up closely.

leggyb:


This is really disturbing. Please check your application to ensure you didnt cancel or withdraw your application. You should reach out to UKVI as soon as you can. I really do not think this is a refusal.

Also search all your spam folders just for possible mails from them. It is likely that a decision on your application cannot be confirmed under this circumstance.

You will be fine regardless.

Don't entertain negative thoughts. I got my passport back without a decision i.e. no vignette nor refusal letter. Like just blank. Sent a paid email to them already though. Please be optimistic

morinto:

Ok just anxious

Why did you ask though? It usually comes with the passport

morinto:
Must the embassy send personal mail to someone that has been rejected uk visa

Thank you

rayralph:


It will surely end in praises.

Keep your faith/hopes high

Amen!
It's not been easy but I am keeping hope and faith alive. Thank you

OpemipoEsther:


I like how calm you sound, I pray that God makes a way for you to get a favourable response with ease.

Yes I did. Every single page

Oliviaxx:

Did you check in all the pages of your passport?

Okay, I have sent a paid email and I'll follow up with a paid call on Monday morning. Thank you

justwise:


Contact them

I picked up my passport and there was no visa and/or letter in it. What could be the issue?

justwise:


No, they will always attach a letter to explain why you were refused

Hi guys, is it possible to get a refusal without a letter being attached or without receiving an email?

@justwise and other gurus, please assist

Thank you very much. I'll do that on Monday morning as their phone numbers are not reachable

perisabc:
Send a paid email to UKVI and also do a paid call. Call them from 1am - 5am in order not to exhaust your call card during the day.

No, there was no attachment in the collection mail.

MissOwaa:
Was there an attachment to the mail.

Yes I have done that. Thank you

Chocomilomilo:



I'd suggest you send a paid mail/call UKVI for explanation and clarification.

Yes I did

Pascalinho4real:


Hmmmmm, are you serious about this , did you get collection mail before going to pick it up

Yes I did

Olawale1993:

Did you receive collection mail prior getting the passport?

Hello guys,
I just got my passport and there's no visa stamp nor letter in it. I have not received any mail also.

What could be the issue please? All documents were uploaded by me.

Guys I got my passport without a visa stamp.
No email and no letter.
What's going on please?

Please guys how can I make a paid call to UKVI? All their contacts seem not reachable
