So how can I view my recent application on my ukvi account because it's only the previous one that's showing, no sign of the new application in my ukvi account
Did you change Identity document? Can you be sure that your passport number is correct and you havent changed passport?
Start afresh with linking you evisa. All afresh. And read through each page carefully if you will find a hint to add your new GWF number or other request.

Guys I need help / advice from experienced people
Last year I did my first biometrics for UK study visa 18th December there was no response until I withdrew the application February

Applied again and did biometrics may 11th same delay issue again but this time no additional documents request or interview invite, they only reached out to my bank which the bank confirmed they responded June 15, after doing a lot of paid mails and getting same generic response, I filed official complaint on the ukvi website as well as reached out to my school complaining about the delay , the school reached out to ukvi and on July 29 th ukvi responded telling the school that my application is at the last stage and I'll hear from them soon

I responded to an open paid mail July 31st and they still have me the awaiting decision response
Fast forward to August 10th ukvi responded to my complaint telling me that a decision was made on my application July 28th and was sent to my email meanwhile I didn't receive any emails concerning decision made, In short I logged into my evisa portal as I created an account in January and it was still stucked with my old withdrawn application ( meaning either the decision sent was unsuccessful or it was negative)

I forwarded the complaint Mail to the school and they were surprised that I still haven't heard from ukvi since they last reached out , so the school reached out to ukvi again to resend the email to me or send to them, we're still waiting for ukvi's response till now , I don't know what other measure to take for them to send me my decision email because I didn't receive anything in my mailbox till now
Meanwhile on Friday they sent me a ukvi survey email which I heard they only send to people they're done with their application


Right now I don't know if my application was approved or denied and I don't know what further step to take for these guys to resend the decision email that failed to drop in my mail

Please I need assistance
When you login into your UKVI account, you should be seeing your recent and previous applications. All you need to do is to click on the most recent application and try to link your evisa.
The survey email sent to you is a sign that a decision was made and likely positive.
So try to view your evisa by linking the application. All the best.

I got a mail from TLS to pick up my travel documents and that's the only mail I got today.
Please what should I expect?
Hope for the best, best you can only be sure when you get the passport or receive BRP email which might drop tomorrow. But I believe your visa has been approved. Congratulations.

Ukvi home office schedule my online interview today at 15:30pm Nigeria time I log in @ 15:07pm till now 19:11pm no single person join me for the interview..am so depressed now..how do they do this to Me today 💔🥵
You would have sent an email while waiting, notifying them that you are still in the meeting room waiting. Someone I know had same issue and after sending an email they join 20 minutes later.
Make sure you send an email notifying them that they didn't show up for the interview, otherwise they might deny you visa claiming you didn't show up.

Stop deceiving people. Processing 25% pension benefits doesn't take more than 10 working days in all PFAs, provided you submitted authentic and not forged documents.
Probably you encountered a problem during processing which I'm so certain the error will be from you.
Kindly contact the PFA and ask what the problem is so they can direct you properly.
You can mention the name of the PFA for assistance.

I have gone through hell trying to to access 25% of my RSA after being out of work for more than a year. I cannot recommend it to my worst enemy. Maybe it works fine elsewhere but here in Nigeria it is a total SCAM.

Apart from IBTC, the rest employ different delay tactics to frustrate/dissuade you from accessing your fund.

Vo: Why did you pick Michigan Tech?

This is my area of research interest and experience. Furthermore, they have many labs dedicated towards this research area.

Vo: (nods like he was satisfied with my answer). What is entropy?

Me: (saying to myself that my village people had finally gotten me; question was unexpected) Entropy is the energy related to movement of matter or particles but I’m not really sure

I need advice please
I went for my capturing today at a federal polytechnic and also submitted my account details at the bursary department but I made a mistake with one of the digits of my PEN pin making it incorrect and I have been restless ever since I found out.
I have now traveled out of the state where the polytechnic is located. I know I should make the correction but I want to know if I wait till next 3 weeks before going back to correct the error if it will be costly on my part. Who has experienced this type of thing before please?
Kindly go back ASAP to effect the correction. Ensure you collect the old letter you wrote, effect the correction and resubmit. Once uploaded it will take time, protocol and serious follow up before it can be corrected and your pension contributions start hitting the RSA. Better go now.

@iyanu6000, greetings to you. I applied on Monday for Trade marketing representatives role, got numeric assessment on Tuesday(initial assessment) , did verbal on Wednesday(initial review) and on Thursday my status has changed to further review. If it is only the position u applied for and the date dat is showing, it means u have been rejected and the regret mail will come in the coming days. BATN can break one's heart n morale with their recruitment. Even my portal dat is still showing further review as at today mayb next week, it may change to reject. And then they will send a mail saying they have find someone that is closer to the requirements they are looking for... At times BATN will make one question the value of one's degree
Please how many minutes did it take you to complete the numerical test and verbal

Food › Re: Does Mixing Alcoholic Drinks With Non-Alcoholic Drinks Reduce Effect? by xsanctus(m): 9:49pm On Dec 08, 2019
zekepio:
Yes and it's simple science expressed by the formula
C1V1 = C2V2

C= Concentration
V=Volume

So if you add a non-alcoholic drink to an Alcoholic drink there will be an increased new Volume (V2) while the new Concentration(C2) will decrease.

Proudly a science student cheesy
For better explanation.
Concentration = No of moles / Volume
That is to say that increase in volume results to a corresponding Decrease in concentration but the moles remain constant.

So if you need lesser effect of the alcohol do not consume the entire volume after diluting and if you do, you have consumed same alcohol content in alcohol to diluant ratio
