padua1234:
It has exceeded. She said it's not under her control. Maybe I will call again tomorrow.

Altern8tor:
Naira or dollar card?

padua1234:
Thanks. They still told me that my application is still waiting for a decision. I asked them is there anything I can do to make it faster. She said that it's not under her care

Altern8tor:
Someone called from Nigeria and they asked for her card details,, how can she pay?

padua1234:
Please do you have their number

Phenmeson:
I wud have advice people to cancel the application but I know most people invested alot in it.
February 9th is near my brother. Imagine school latest resumption na Feb 9th. Some people even dey get Feb 6th for interview.
Meaning people got to pray decision pop in within 24hrs.
Then you carry your bags ASAP & fly.
You won't be surprised late march that few school go they organise exam or finish semester so that people can have Easter holiday /school break.
I neva see people experiencing such type of waiting before.
I advice people to sha take decision which is best for them.

Kmmk792:
Please guide me on the escalation

Kmmk792:
Honestly I don give up.

I no fit make am for the latest date 9th February.

On top of plenty paid mails and calls. Same feedback " I can confirm that your application is being considered and is currently awaiting a decision."

LogikalJay:
Just prepare proof of study gap and source of funds .that's the next they will ask

Or worse case interview to validate your a genuine student

Veyy:
I am not talking about work. I am talking about the possibility of granting a study visa for these programs.
Any idea if uk embassy in Nigeria grants study visas for program like PGdip or PGcert?

Lindiwesooft:
Is it true that the Home Office has not made any decisions for people who applied for an MRes, and has only made decisions for those who applied for MSc?

Altern8tor:
Maybe it's d study gap

Bigbabyy0:

Charlex23:
Your visa should be out tomorrow. Bcs most people are getting visa approval on the 17th working day after the SLA mail.

Altern8tor:
Finally I found someone that got visa after receiving that SLA message...

Friday 28th November biometrics
Friday 19th December SLA message
Friday 16th January visa...

Let's be patient,, hopefull and prayerful 🙏

Altern8tor:
Someone responds by saying;;;


"""The first one could be true cause someone got visa mail on 16th January but the date was 19th December

Meanwhile all paid mails he sent , response was awaiting decision
I don’t know what took them so long so send the mail if visa was granted on 19th December,2025"""

Altern8tor:
Can anyone who got late visa confirm the below statement to be true;




"""For those awaiting decisions let me say a bit possible scenarios in the ukvi backend that could finally happen.

.... they might have issued you visa but they have not emailed you about it.

....they might have issued you refusal as far back as December or above but they have not sent you the decision letter you will still receive.

.... they may invite you for interview before making decisions

.... they may request additional documents"""

Smile1234:
I regret ever paying for standard, I don learn better lesson, anywhere I see standard, priority, and super priority for anything in my next life, I go just go for the super priority, be it visa or anything in life, my mental health is really at stake, the worst part be say school no fit help in visa process

mzmee:
same here, they said mine was 16th of December, meanwhile i did biometric on 11th of December…. I have cried severally today

Altern8tor:
Just did a paid call,,so I did my biometrics on 16th December...

Here are my shocking findings... D lady says my file got to their desk on the 22nd of December and that I have to wait for 21 working days to get a decision,,,if I don't get a decision in dat time,,I can then call to escalate it... So all ds while we have been told it's 15working days whereas it's actually 21 working days.... May God help us all

Chochenna:
