PtBlank:
Congratulations to you @toyclicks

I learnt PTAs are only made available for return tickets

pittoilet:
Just a quick one guys. Has anyone been able to get PTA (personal travel allowance) from his or her bank?

It's nothing to worry about ooo and pls don't let that demoralise you in anyway. Further insights I have gotten makes it clear that on the long run, its not about what you get, but rather what you do with what you get. In all your getting, make sure you accumulate experience in your field of interest. I gather that's what gives the edge. Btw, nothing stops you from adding short term professional courses in your related field too.

Ultimately, NEVER OVERRULE THE GOD FACTOR. THAT ALONE OVERRULES EVERYTHING

emyboy94:
Congrats once again!
Didn't see that advice you got on time. Already applied and waiting for Visa decision for International Management course. God dey sha

I think the thing was that they started routing DMC through Pretoria that day and probably Pretoria has less work load. My tots though

ralphtamtobi:
It is safe to say, those that did their biometrics from 7th of September, that didn't get a call or a non-straightforward mail, and gets a mail that a decision has been made on your visa, is always a positive results. From the testimonies we are seeing flying all over.

naledis:
Call wakanow or send them a DM on instagram. It’s the student fare and I booked mine for N214,000 this morning for Lagos to London. The student fare is only available for London, Toronto and Newyork destinations. If your arrival city is outside London, the student fare won’t apply

So I just got off the phone with Wakanow. the lady told me the promo on BA flights is for those under the ages of 30
so I am disqualified.

For the promo, the slots per day are limited. so if the slot for the day you intend to fly is finished, you will need to choose another date that still has available slots

Anyways Emirate was a good deal 252k, 2 hrs stop over in Dubai.


She also mention that C-19 test was compulsory including for BA travellers as it is an FG requirement and not just by airline requirement. So @naledis, you are right

After 28 days actually, they will pass it back to the issuing office. A guy in front of me had tis issue when I went to collect mine. His Visa had been ready just before Covid

mattfeuter:
You have to find a way to pick it up otherwise,

After 3 months , TLS will send your passport to the Immigration headquarters in Abuja.

The choice is yours.

Alright guys

Visa Approved
Here is my TL

Started this journey last year December
Initially chose Management as course of study.
I later remembered that NL was an info hub.
Got on this thread an d mentioned my course choice.
Some folks came up here and told me that I should not waste my money with that course that it is like going for a one year holiday in the UK at the cost of almost 10M investment. Rather I was advised to check the shortage list or choose anything related to IT. I wanted to settle for MIIT as it was an option that merged management with IT.
During this period, my Uni posted that they were going to start Fintech this 2020 sept session. I checked the course, it sited me excellently and it didn`t take long before I fell in love with it.
Course changed from Management to Fintech. Everything went smoothly but CAS was dragging and the wait was tiring. They finally told me CAS was gonna be ready one day. Later in the afternoon same day, School rep called me that he`s got a sad news. School can`t continue with Fintech for reasos beyond their control. CAS landed same day carrying FinTech as my course of study.
I reverted back to my MIIT jeje.
School took 2-3 days to effect change of course on UKVI

Submitted application on 28th of Aug
Made mistake on one of my parent`s DOB gave 3rd instead of 5th( I decided to leave it like that)
Got 14th Sept appointment date
Walk in - Monday 7th Sept. (They stopped face-to-face interview that day) so no interveiw
Bio metrics done same 7th Sept
Application transferred to DMC - 8th sept
Application received by DMC – 8th September
Application transferred back to VAC 10th September
Received this mail on 11th morning

UKVI Pretoria
Application received by VAC 11th afternoon
Received mail to come for pick up a few minutes before 4pm on Friday 11th
Couldn’t concentrate on anything through the weekend
Picked up Passport on Monday morning 14th Sept that was initially supposed to be my scheduled interview date.
NB : I did no interview eventually neither face-to-face nor phone call.
It wasn’t a priority Visa, I only did walk in to bring interview date forward.

I rather subscribed to Abba’s Super priority and Super favour. Fortunately, He doesn’t have the capability to shame His own

Btw, special thanks to @Mimilyrics, too much of a darling, She literally got me to mail my SOP to her and did a thorough editing and fine tuning. See ehn, I leave holyspirit to do the prayer for you. You are loved.
This family has been invaluable. God bless @Seun Osewa

Log in, go to the appointment page and click "track"

Laura123:
Hello @toyclicks, please how are you tracking your application? Cos I’m using the TLS app and it has just 4 stages. How do I get to see it like the attached screenshot?

Do I need to worry that this is too fast? I did biometrics just this Monday. No interview

Yeah yeah!
What course are you in for?

badtempest:
Is anyone going Salford here?

Lol! Not same for me. Preping for phone interview. That alone is enough keeping me busy

Bashybabe2020:
Omo the anxiety after submission and biometrics is unmatched ,I have not been able to sleep at all And I’m still counting down to end of September. Who has a time machine I want to buy

But you were only made to do biometrics. Right?

asatin007:
I did walk-in at Ikeja today. They allowed some of us and didn’t allow the rest. I think the code is, if you want to do walk-in, be there very early so you’ll be in front on the queue.

Stanbic has had the best reviews here so far.

SyberKate:
I can't believe the almighty GTbank just wasted my precious time.
After making me wait for long trying to reach my account manager who was not around, I barely managed to finally complete and submit my Form A on Monday, only for them to call me late Tuesday at close of business, telling me "sorry, we can't process your Form A from your savings account, please come to our office and open a current account with us"
I was like WTF... didn't you guys know this before telling me to go ahead and fill the form? If that is your policy then fine but the first question they should have asked me was "do you have a current account with us" I would have said NO and simply carried my money to another bank, simple.
Now I have to start looking for another bank that will process Form A for me with my savings account at this critical time.

Please who has an idea if Fidelity, Access or FCMB can process Form A from savings account?

My only concern about telephone interview is hearing. Form a face-to-face interview, you can read lips as well hear

Yes, you could give a try tomorrow

What's your original appointment date

mamacajah:
does this mean I can go this week and do walk in..submit my documents and await their call or decision?

Yeah I was at Ikeja for walk in today, we were only made to do biometrics and told we would be contacted by phone if need be

asatin007:
I heard interviews have been suspended. Can anybody confirm this?

p.s: I am not trying to mislead anybody. Please verify your info before quoting!

Ok. Thank you

mamacajah:
If it is showing uploaded..that means you have pressed the submit button and can't add any other document..
so the only way out now is to ask for assisted service and let them help you upload the letter or change the information in your application form.

Any help with this pls guys

Or is it nothing to bother about?
