Wow please when are you resuming??

Boldpeppy:
Please when was your biometric done and where is your VAC And was it priority

jubrilx:
My brother run away, try other places. Cost of living is too expensive

Criptonyte:
Did u contact them? How did u know and why not today?

Criptonyte:
Nothing yet oh, has been at the decision making center from 14th up till now.

akinbo3:
In the meantime, Email your School for an Extension if u don't receive ur Visa latest on Friday this week.
They may give u up to 10-days EXTENSION. But I believe ur Visa will be out soon......

kode12:
I never expected it to be as long either. My school resumes 24th so I felt, apply early December would give ample time for them to reach a decision. I guess I thought wrong. The wait isn't even the issue, its the suspense and having to suspend other major plans.

kode12:
Spent close to 12k on calls now. The call centre agent that I spoke with today was so evil lool. She basically read all the pre-call instructions to me all over again, then offered zero help, only to tell me at the end of the call that I already had an escalation, and if she did another it'd put me at the bottom of the queue. The year is still new, if not I for use calabar juju take swear for am lol.

kode12:
Submitted biometrics Dec 2nd,via standard application, and till now no decision has been made. Called UKVI this morning and they just wasted my money giving me the usual run around, even after escalation over a week ago.

Criptonyte:
How long did it take for your decision to be made?

Criptonyte:
Please I would like to know if there is anyone who did his/her biometrics from the 1st to 6th of December using the standard visa application.

Please what is the status of your document if yes? Because I did mine on the 6th and on the 14th got a msg that my documents were at the DMC, but since then I haven't received any mail and no progress has been made so far.

If I mark 25,26dec and 1jan as holidays then I'd be left with 17 working days unless the count began from the moment my documents were received by the DMC.

Answers to my questions would be gladly appreciated.

Passport collected and visa stamped.
I can't thank this thread enough... Thank you guys.

Biometrics - Dec 16th.
Passport collected - January 2nd

I hope to be part of the people that'd help others get there as well...

Once again, I really appreciate this thread.

Thank you @justwise @zoey1 @lagosismyhome and many others

Lateef9699:
Thanks for the response. how many working days will it take for me to get the CAS statement?

Lateef9699:
Goodday Everyone,
I want to present my bank statement to Robert Gordon University in order to get my CAS statement but the required fund is not yet up to 28 days in the account. I currently hold an offer to study a masters course which is to start by 28 of January, 2020. is it possible that the school issue the cas to me with this statement. I will be using a statement from the same account to apply for my visa after the fund has been held for the required 28 days. please i need a response on this.
Also, i want to make a clarification on the 28 days rule. Does the 28 days start counting on the day the fund enters my account or the day after.
Thanks in advance

BelleQ:
Good morning house...I've just checked my application progress and it's on "application transferred to VAC"...how long before TLS texts one to pick up passport?

Nedu20:
If you read the email well, you'd see it's an automated message they send to every applicant...

If you have read through some pages on the thread, you'd also notice almost everyone got the same message as well.

I think it means that your application is on the decision table and since you used standard, you'd have to wait a lil while...

Just calm down, your visa will be out

iamfelixy:
Oh wow, I do imagine what they are trying to find out tho

iamfelixy:
Wow, what are the documents you submitted?

AmbHenry92:
I received a mail from TLS an hour ago that my passport is ready! I rushed down to TLS office here in Abuja. Picked it up!
VISA GRANTED!!!
timeline:
Got admission and CAS from Bounemouth University.
Applied for Visa on 26th Nov!
Biometrics and Interview on 27th Dec!
Earlier today i called UKVI and they confirmed a descision has been taken already. In an hour time Tls mail came in.
Passport collected 1:20pm.!
I used Standard.
Visa was granted even after having Two student Visa refusals from Australia this year (Feb and August).

God is wonderful!!!! I dedicate this to him. Thank you guys. This forum is just so helpful and blessed. For those waiting for their Visa, may it be granted for you. Amen.

AmbHenry92:
They charge like white. During the call, you would have to type out your debit card number. Then you would be debited, on confirmation then your call linked to an available person in the office. You would only be charged when the call is linked. Also note that aside payment via ur debit card, Ur still gonna be charged via airtime, standard call rate applied.
