Hello my people. God is so good to me, pls join me thank Him. I picked my passport today and it was a positive outcome! I was so scared of the outcome because I mistakenly registered and wrote the wrong English test. Instead of life skill test, I took the general ielts!!.I had to write to them informing them I'm processing UK Naric which they didn't wait for before making decision.
Thanks to Lexus, justwise and other people who helped in one way or another.. I'm grateful, pls continue saving lives.

Vulcan House is where they process priority applications. That's where I sent my wife's supporting documents. If you applied priority then it has gone to the correct team. If you applied standard then you've done the right thing calling them. As they have escalated it then it should be sent to the appropriate team for processing.

Yes my application is Priority. Thank you

GodandVal:
I’m here, how may I be of help?

Thanks, I have replied your email.

Apologies for bumping on the thread this evening.

I looked through the thread and saw that @GodandVal sent to the Vulcan house address and visa issued already.

Somebody help me find GodandVal

Lexusgs430:
No point just sending an SAE, without them knowing the purpose or you having a contact for reference @vulcan.

Do you know any contact @ Vulcan or can you send the email you have for Vulcan to confirm if I sent to the same address..

Thanks

Lexusgs430:
In the interim, why not send an email to Vulcan and gauge their response?

You might have to send them an SAE for onward transmission (better than counting your fingers).....

I have sent an email and got the generic, they get back to me in couple of days.

My initial package has a SAE in it. Do I have to send another?

mamarazi1:
Which post code did you use?

S3 8NU

Lexusgs430:
02034811736

A credit or debit card number would be required, before you speak to an agent.........

Thanks I have done that and all she said was that they would escalate the issue.

Someone help me..

We have sent our supporting documents but we used parcelforce and not aware they do not post to po box ( they didn’t mention as well).

Story cut short, parcel is at Vulcan House.

How will they get the documents, who do I call?

Very worried.

Thanks

ronvlaar:
We have considered your application under paragraph EC-P 1.1 of Appendix FM. However, you do not qualify for entry clearance under the 5-year partner route for the following reasons: (one only reason tho)

Eligibility Financial Requirement
You do not meet the eligibility financial requirement of paragraphs E-ECP 3.1 to 3.4

You have stated you intend to meet this requirement through salaried employment with your sponsor having worked for her current employer for less than 6month. I note you have submitted evidence of her previous employer (Bleep). However if you are using employment with a company for less than 6months, you're required to submit 12months wage slips and bank statements, so we can confirm your sponsor total income is sufficient over the last year.

I note you submitted the following evidences:
Employment letter: Provided confirming salary and start date of July'16 for Bleep and also yyy May '17

Wage slips: Provided for both employments Bleep 19/08/2016 - 20/03/2017 and yyy 31/05/17 - 30/07/2017

Bank statements confirming salary submitted for the period Dec '16 - July '17

Therefore I'm unable to be satisfied you have submitted all of the required evidence to meet this rule.

Right of appeal
You have 28days from the date you receive this decision to appeal.


Meanwhile, we stated clearly we're using both salaried employment plus savings to meet the financial requirement and all evidences were submitted but its very obvious the savings part was neglected and ignored. She had over £25k in her savings for well over a year before we applied.
Job Bleep was paying £17,500 and she stopped in May, got job yyy paying £19,800 till August when we applied. Got another job (present one) paying £19,000.
What I don't get is why the case officer totally ignored the savings part.

Decision was made Nov 17, can u imagine that

Hello ronvlaar, sorry about your refusal. From what you have posted I can try with the little knowledge I have (I stand corrected).

You are using income from the last 12 months. Which means

1st Job August- March (7months) : 17500/12 * 7 = 10, 208.33 ( I did not add August pay as I am not sure of what pay slips say). If August salary on pay slip is lower than the rest( I think the HO uses the lowest income *12 to get annual pay)
2nd Job ( 2 months) : 19800/12 * 2 = 3,300

Savings Calculator: 25000
25000 - 16000 (min savings) / 2.5( valid visa year) = 3,600

Total Financial Requirement: 10,208.33 + 3,300 + 3,600 = 17,108.33 (shortfall of 1,491.67)

Do you have a British Child in UK for exceptional circumstances?

Please seniors in the house, advise.

Please did anyone submit in Abuja recently? Are they scanning supporting documents because it says so on TLS Abuja website.

https://uk.tlscontact.com/ng/ABV/index.php

Please can someone confirm.

Hello house,

Please does the 2 weeks to send supporting documents ply to both standard and priority?

My documents will get to my sponsor tonight to send all tomorrow.

However, I received the email from UKVI that they have received my application and must ensure my sponsor has sent all documents. And if not received they will make a decision.

No reference to the 2 weeks for sending all documents in.

Is this okay/normal?

Thanks

dasataj:
tech tests bother on the role you have applied for. With the examples you have cited, I am guessing you applied to a role bothering on IT security or something of that nature. For audit or forensics, tech tests will encompass accounting, auditing, fraud etc.
I spent about 3 hours writing the tests. Be prepared to spend 3 to 4 hours on their premises.

Thanks so much dasataj. I appreciate

dasataj:
Yes you are right. It was the usual aptitude test plus technical test. They have not gotten back to me yet.

Thanks so much dasataj,

Please what was the tech test like cyber security? Networking? Or?

How long did it take for the process at their office?

Thanks

Lexusgs430:
Now you are almost becoming Oliver Twist.......

Whatever you do, only submit original documentations (chinko aka scan or photocopies are not allowed)

You submit scanned or photocopy documentations, we would tell you the result of your application, way before you submit......

Thanks for clarifying.

Bond140:
In my case, I simply arranged the documents the way they requested. No pins and staples.. After your biometrics, you will be instructed on how you will arrange your documents too

Lexusgs430:
Yow17 - Bond140 don fully answer all your questions now.

Thank you Bond.... James Bond.....

Thanks Bond140 and Lexusgs430, that is noted

Sorry one more for now,

Please can someone confirm if I can scan documents (TB, Degree Certificate, Birth CERT. etc.) so he can print in coloured to add to supporting documents.

Thank you.

Lexusgs430:
The post below yours, answers one of your questions.....

Thanks Lexusgs430,

Yes I saw that..

Any help with the other clarifications/questions

I will appreciate.

Hello house,

Great work and support going on here.

Please can someone confirm if I can scan documents (TB, Degree Certificate, Birth CERT. etc.) so he can print in coloured to add to supporting documents.

I initially thought the scanning service was available in Naija and told him to scan all his documents. Printed all today and lo and behold I found this great forum.

1. Does anyone know the current timeline for priority settlement visa based on posts?

2. Did anyone use the VFS Barcode Separator for their supporting documents or just went with a flow( please share).

Thanks for your help.

dasataj:
Congratulations to everyone who just started their careers with Pwc. Just got an invite for Assessment (technical and aptitude test) for the position of Associate Forensics. I humbly seek advice from anyone and everyone here. What am I to expect, what should I prepare for, etc.

Hello Morachi,

Sent you an inbox mail, kindly respond if you please...

Thanks.

Hello Dasataj and RayOB1,

Please let me know if you were able to make the technical and aptitude test for pwc and what was the experience ( what sort of questions for the tech test as I am guessing it will be the usual aptitude test format)

Thank you

yow17:
Morning sleyflash, my AR came back and the refusal still stands..they said I tried to reintroduce new information which I said during the interview and the interviewer did not right down I.e understand the technical terms.


What is the probability of getting the Visa reapplying and make sure all my points are passed across clearly and make sure the interviewer understands?.


Please advise, I have deferred to January for resumption.


Thank you.

Please can anyone advise? I will appreciate

mrgamers:

Morning sleyflash, my AR came back and the refusal still stands..they said I tried to reintroduce new information which I said during the interview and the interviewer did not right down I.e understand the technical terms.

Thank you.

sleyflash:
So I thought. But I was call upon this morning over a phone interview.. I guess to clarify some stuffs about my application..

Going for Masters or PhD?

edirex:
if your reasons was based on funds, you can re-apply then use super priority after correcting the reason.

I had my points for both maintenance and CAS 40points.

My full tuition has been paid as well as sufficient amount for maintenance.

edirex:
what was ur previous course of study the one u intend to study ?

Information Security and now

Internet of Things with Cyber Security.

sleyflash:
Have you now figured out how to go about the relationship between btw the previous course and the new course? Because I did super priority and I was asked this at the interview..

Yes I know, and stated the difference, I even broke it down to simple terms so the interviewer could understand. I had a telephone interview and the line was so bad that the interviewer called back almost 6 times.

I thought there was no interview. Was it Skype I.e face to face?

I am just worried and doing this is a lot of money.plus I have little time.What the ECO says why didn't I explain this way before now, like I just went to do my research. GOD FORBID ANOTHER REFUSAL.

Plus it's another masters but it is a progression and more advanced as I do not have sufficient funds now for a PhD now.

What do you think?

Hi Experts in the Forum,

@justwise: sent you an email. Please check

What are the chances of getting a visa granted after refusal and applying for a walk-in appointment for Super Priority as the school resumes very soon and admin review could take time.

Refusal ground: no specifics on difference between previous study and the new course.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Thank you.
