Hello Everyone,

This will be quite a long read.
Collection Mail: 13th January, 2022.
Visa Granted!

I applied for student visa August 2020 but it was refused because my CAS was cancelled by the University.
I called the University to tell them I couldn't meet the resumption date since I had not gotten my Visa and I was informed I'd be deferred to January 2021.

I called the UKVI to inform them that my CAS had been cancelled and the lady on the phone asked if I wanted to withdraw my application. I told the lady that the withdrawal will take a while before I get my passport back but I'm okay with a refusal so I can get my passport back immediately.

Two days later, I was refused but I wasn't bothered so I reapplied with priority in November 2020 so as to avoid the long processing time.

I was scheduled for a phone interview on the 5th day and I answered all the questions but I was refused.

The reasons given were blatant lies saying I didn't know much my fees was and didn't know what my sponsor did for a living.

I applied for AR and it was refused, did PAP - the refusal was upheld.

I proceeded to Judicial Review then the lies were upgraded to "the applicant states NEVER to return back to Nigeria."
The Judge asked the recording of my phone interview be presented the following week.

By the following week, the transcript of the phone interview shown I clearly stated how much my fees was and what my sponsor did for a living. No where was it stated that I'd never come back to Nigeria. Instead I said it was my plan to return back to Nigeria to open a Consultancy firm.

The representative for the Home Office reached out to the Barrister representing me and myself asking to settle outside court.
The Barrister asked if I was okay with a settlement, I said Yes but wanted them to pay all the cost I incurred during the JR process and a new decision to be made.

It was agreed and signed.

July 2021, a new CAS was requested for September 2021. I was asked to provide it within a week.

The University took a while to reply, before they provided a new CAS I was refused again. I WAS LIVID. I sent the Home Office an email telling them I'd follow it up to JR and this time THERE WOULD BE NO SETTLEMENT OUTSIDE COURT.

I applied for AR and it took 3 months before it was successful.
I got several emails of apologies and passport was requested for November 10.

I submitted my passport 10th November, 2021.
Collection email: 13th January, 2022.

This journey started August, 2020.

Wow! Just wow!!!! Congrats. When God steps in, everything leaps ��

Greetings from Dubai.

Visa Alert! And little testimony.

It's been heck of a journey. The last time I felt like this was in 2012 when Drogba was walking to take the last penalty kick...it was like forever.

It was almost impromptu. It was just late October we decided to apply. Almost too late for January enrolment. Admission came, but there was just no way we could meet the deadline for Pof at Bradford. But our agent said NO PROBLEM. so we took leap of faith, submitted four days POF. {don't use this as yardstick. It's just pure favour}.

Luckily, my wife was scheduled for interview. Alas, network took better part of the interview. Everyone she met on telegram got CAS but she didn't. We wrote a 'beautiful' letter to the interviewer and copied Andrew. Two hours later, CAS dropped. Hallelujah!

She applied but no date till 4th January and my son got Biometrics for 6th. I couldn't wait for them, I went ahead to submit my application on 20th, Biometrics on 22nd December. I applied for priority. (ain't that foolish? Main applicant has not done Biometrics, dependent dey do priority).

They dashed me NSF on 30th December and asked me to submit copy of my wife's application. I did same day. VAC dispatched my parcel yesterday, I received it today.

To crown it, my wife's passport arrived at TLS ikeja today also only after 7days. Wonderful God.

He who began the good work is capable to finish it as we await our son's application to be moved back to VAC.


SPECIAL THANKS TO @SIRWELLINGTON and hosts of others. Merci!

Hi, did you later send the mail?

STENON:
okay. No wahala

Awesome! Please, what’s the name of the second lab you used?

Acanubs:
Good news! The second test result is out and it’s negative . God is good . Thank you to all the Gurus here . I was so worried in the morning .

Hi,

Please kindly @ me when you get a response

Thank you

STENON:

hustla:
Got an idea of prices? Heading there on tuesday

Tejuosho, Yaba market. It is near the rail

Tolvin:
Can someone please describe where I can get winter clothes/shoes in Yaba?
I need directions from Abule Egba. Thank you

Hi,

Pls who knows a good 3 or 4 star hotel close to TLS center in Abuja?

Yes, all conditions have been fulfilled but no CAS check email yet. All conditions were also fulfilled before 3rd Dec.

Thank you, I’ll chat him up

Mikool101:

Hi. They must have told you to fulfil some conditions on your offer letter, most especially initial tuition deposit fee (£3k). If that payment was made, did you send your telex to admission team before Dec 3 along with the documents required from you?
Try and chat with Mr Wilson one of their nigeria reps on Monday, 10am via WhatsApp. He won't answer you during weekends. I believe he can assist you.

Hi, I’ve spent the whole week sending emails but no important action has been taken except removing the conditions from my offer.

I even had to mail them to do this then they replied saying I forgot to send a document and deadline has passed but o forwarded the email with the said document and they erased all my conditions. They said I’ll get a CAS email that day or the next which is tue/wed. Till this moment, nothing.

I have sent emails and they are no longer responding. I don’t know what to do. I have less than 5 days to get this done. Is there any other email or something I can do? I called David Cliffe and idk if I’ll say he just sounds overwhelmed and not sure what to do

Mikool101:
Good. Try and send reminder to IOTeam1@hud.ac.uk about updating your offer, so as to get your unconditional/CAS on time. Dec 17 is the final day for CAS issuance. Therefore, you have a short window to get your CAS check email to confirm that your profile and details are correct. Make sure you check your portal from time to time too.

hustla:
Which website did you check? Worked yesterday

Is it automatic? Like once I fill the form A, I’ll get a telex or how does it work? Pls

Thank you for this. I’ll be on the live call tomorrow and follow up continuously. Will keep you posted too! Thank you again

Mikool, you’ve been a big help. Thank you.

PS, I used the link and my payment has been received by the school yesterday ��

Mikool101:
Yes. Pay #8,500 to standard chartered Bank, lagos or Abuja depending on where you got the tb certificate with you. Then afterward print your receipt. Make sure you get to their office before 12noon. The painful thing about the whole stuff is if you get there early in the morning eg 7am you will get your corrected tb test certificate with someone that came around 11am or even 12 noon sef. I got to iom office at 8am, submitted my old certificate after 10am, I got the new certificate around 2.15pm.

Hi, where you able to change your address? If so, how?

Mikool101:
Good morning to you all. Please do any one here have an experience changing the uk address on their TB certificate. I have been trying to get in touch with IOM about changing the school uk address on the certificate, since I have decided going to another school. Email have been sent to them as well requesting for this change. Should in case they don't pick my call or get a response about this action needed to be done, can I visit their office to change the address and get the certificate same day.
Then, is the change of school address on the certificate same as reissued tb certificate which is #8,500 in their
website.

I know the Health declaration form is usually sent by the school. In short, it’s usually with the offer letter. If not there, then the school will send it.

I am not sure but DBS is usually done when you’re there

nellyball:
Gurus in the house, I need clarity on some of the conditions on my offer letter from university of sunderland (PGCE Secondary Mathematics through the gov.uk ITT scheme)
1. How do I go about obtaining Disclosure of Barring Service approval (Dbs)?
2. Completion of health declaration form and undergoing a prohibition order check.

I will appreciate response from anyone who have undergone this process or who has any information as touching my request

No, someone there transferred in pounds for me

Dagorobeto:
Used black market rate?

It was access. I’ve been so frustrated. I had to process a transfer to the school yesterday. I’ve sent them the receipt so fingers crossed. Thank you for your help ��

Any idea when visa office closes?

Mikool101:
Wow. Which bank did you use? I transferred my initial deposit from my salary account to UBA. Thank God for this thread. I was debited 3 days, got my telex 2days later.

That’s so cool. Unbelievably but since I initiated the payment, my dad hasn’t been debited. It’s been two weeks and I was promised today. I’m so so worried.

Mikool101:
Hello. Yes o. It took less than a week for them to send you a cas check email after sending the telex, which you will have to respond to on time by going through your details "carefully" and indicating if there are mistakes that needs to be corrected or not.
3 days after I responded to the cas check email , my portal was updated with my unconditional and CAS letter available.

Hi, just wondering have you got your CAS now? How many weeks after sending the telex?

Mikool101:
Goodmorning. Which bank did you use.
I used uba and got the telex 2days after being debited.

Yes, just go to the station at alagbon with his former police report

ocpaschal:
Hello... Pls my bro is in UK, and one of the jobs he found asked him to bring his Police Report from his local country. Is there a possible way for him to process and obtain a Police Report clearance while in UK ?

Wawu, thank you

onibokun10:
They changed it to unconditional offer and issued CAS.

Wawu. Thank you.

onibokun10:
They changed it to unconditional offer and issued CAS.

They said to give it another day or two

Mikool101:
Did you collect the number of the banker that treated your Form A. Try and call them. I called the lady that did mine 2 days after I was debited and she sent it that same I asked for it.

Hello, I used first bank. Paid last week, still waiting fir telex

Mikool101:
Goodmorning. Which bank did you use.
I used uba and got the telex 2days after being debited.

Lastly, after making payment and submitting the docs, did they change the offer to unconditional or they just issued CAS?

onibokun10:
I sent the documents immediately I got their mail and paid the deposit same time too. I sent telex after like 3wks of sending other documents, polaris bank delayed in giving me telex, CAS came after 4 wks of sending them telex.
