I woke up to see that the ihs fees for my 3 kids have been refunded to my . I applied on the 1st of august and they did their bio on the 7th august. I got an empty nsf on the 14th of august so i called on the 16th and I was told a decision has been made but didn’t get any collection email. 25th was the 15th day so I made escalation call yesterday and this morning I’m seeing their ihs fees refunded. Is everything okay?

I’m the ma and I’m already here with my wife. I’m worried 😞

From trends and from the little I know. IHS refunds usually mean a refusal. But let the gurus come online to give their suggestions.

whereisblak:
Congrats please your globus bank statement was it e-bank statement or you went directly to the bank to print

It was printed directly from my mobile app. I didn’t go to the bank.

jurhnsyn:

I just want to thank God for he showed himself at every point in this journey because humanly speaking, this feat wouldn’t have been possible(this japa journey isn’t for the faint hearted😩). At some point, I was even going to give up because of all these ‘UK this, UK that, look into another country Kinikan Kinikan 😩☹️but then we kept on! The process was indeed draining mentally, emotionally, psychologically, financially but we return all the glory to God😊

zieraw2005:


No ooo bro.

Still at DMC and I just made paid call and it was escalated yesterday.

I am still hopeful.

Okay, I wish you the best. I am a sis though😊

zieraw2005:



Sincerely I don't know.

In my case I used wemabank and gtbank.

Hello, has your dependents pick up mail dropped now? Just asking as I saw how bothered you have been from your previous posts.

Naffy2022:


Not at all. How about you?

Yes I just did now. Had to switch my card to UBA prepaid dollar card and it went through! Exactly a week today. The thing showed me shege 😥

Naffy2022:


Not at all. How about you?

No, not yet too…. It’s just tiring😩

Keemy88:
During my visa application as MA, I filled, signed and ed part 1 home office consent form and got my visa.

Okay, thank you.

TheNewAgeFarmer:
Consent letter for you to use MA bank ? No need to that on MA application.

Okay, thank you
I was confused.

Hello everyone, please I would like to confirm if it is compulsory to the home office consent letter(page1) on the visa application form for the MA? I know pages 1 and 3 are required for dependents but is it compulsory for the MA?

For those that have applied for visa(MA) , please did you it?

Naffy2022:

I guess the payment is successful now, right?

Hello, have you been able to pay yours now?

Star721:
Have you been able to resolve the issue? If not get some to pay for you. Preferablya trusted person in uk.

No, not yet. That's what I intend doing so I am trying to start the application all over as I have exceeded the 5times declined transaction. Thank you.

Good afternoon people, please I have a question as regards visa application. While filling out my daughter’s application, when I got to the page asking about home address and how many years she has lived there, I got sort of confused. She's just 1year 2months, so I filled in 14months.... I was then directed to another page to fill another address where she has been living as address where she has lived(of which she hasn't lived anywhere else)for 2 years is what is required. Please, how do I answer this? I await your responses please. Thank you.

Justpat:


Hello for your issue, you seem to have exhausted the allowed card transaction limit on your gtb card hence no other payment is going through successfully. You may need to use a different card to pay the remaining payment. There are usually monthly/quarterly/ annual limits on cards for web transactions. Cheers

Thank you very much for your input. However, I ed the bank severally and I was told the card has no limit. In fact, they confirmed the declined transaction(which I have done like about 8times) didn't hit their system at all. The last successful payment was the one they saw. Option of using another card is worth trying too, I hope to try that today and I pray it works out. Thank you.

Naffy2022:


Hello ma'am.. Have you been able to resolve this?
I'm currently experiencing same with my dependant application.

Hello, I haven't been able to solve it o. It's draining and exhausting. I don't even know what else to do. I intend entering the bank tomorrow.

Hello everyone, I have been having issues paying IHS fee for my last daughter. I was able to pay for everyone else(4 of us) using my GTB dollar card but hers kept on declining. I have reached out to the bank severally but they kept saying the error isn't from them. Please has anyone else experienced this and how were you able to solve it? It's quite tiring and exhausting! Please help!

Please I am stuck while trying to pay my dependents IHS fee. It’s asking for my visa expiration date but I do not have a visa yet as we are applying together. Please what do I fill in there?

shawrygal:


I also used Globus, but I made sure I requested for my SOA via email from the bank. It was signed, stamped and contains details. I will advise you to do same to avoid issues.

Please what email address did you request for your SOA from?

Hello everyone. I have a study gap of 10years. For my visa application, is it advisable I submit my CV? Then I also intend submitting only reference letter from my current workplace. Is that okay or is it compulsory/necessary to still submit my employment letter?

Hello everyone. For my visa application, I have a study gap of 10years, I plan to submit my CV and reference letter from my current workplace. Is it also compulsory/necessary to still submit my employment letter or reference letter is just okay?

Mattle:



Even a day old baby needs TB test certificate,lol.

Lol, I get it, thank you. I just wanted to be ‘double sure’🙂

Please people, I would like to confirm if my 1year 1month daughter is also eligible to do the TB test.

duchess90:
Hello

Yes, as long as it is regulated by the CBN

Cheers

Okay, thank you.

Please can I use my micro finance bank to print my POF statement for Visa application? Is it acceptable by UKVI?

Please, is there anyone going to Northumbria University Newcastle this September? Also, is there any Whatsapp or telegram group?

Hello everyone, please does anyone have an offer for May from the University of Wolverhampton here?

Thank you to this ogbonge nairaland platform for instigating the boldness of I CAN DO IT mentality on us . I did the process alone ..
Last year , paid deposit for RGU for September 22 intake, couldn't get CAS and so I asked for refund and I got it .. in that same spirit I applied to other schools and got ission to 2 schools , UWS and UnI of SALFORD for may and June intake.. had to go for uni Salford ( international student friendly 100 percent). Their took just 3 days to get after pof and TB test submission.

Amme018:
VISA APPROVED @ 4th attempt

Date: Friday, 21st June 2019
Location: Abuja
Time: 7:30am Appointment
Status: Was on AP till 25th June when it turned ISSUED.

BACKGROUND
Previous attempts: 2 attempts in December 2017 for Ball State University (for Spring 2018) and an attempt in July 2018 for George Washington University (for Fall 2018) ....All at Lagos Consulate.

I posted past transcripts when I needed help in preparing for my 3rd attempt. I also posted my proposed transcript for the 3rd attempt, but I did not post the outcome because I was quitting then. Although there was no much difference between the proposed transcript for the 3rd attempt and the outcome other than that not all the questions I prepared for were asked.

However, I requested my ission be deferred to the following term (Spring 2019) only to be informed that ission to the program is strictly for Fall . I requested it be deferred to Fall 2019.

Finally when I decided I was going to try the 4th time (which I promised it would be the final), I returned to this thread as a full-time reader, I chose not to ask any question because there are answers to all the questions that anyone would want to ask here already. I read every posts everyday 'as e dey drop'. I researched more about my school and program. I looked for unique features of my school and program, which I integrated into my proposed transcript. I did not post my proposed transcript because in my head, I was not returning to the embassy the 4th time for an interview but to go and talk (have a conversation)

I chose Abuja this time because I learnt there is a bit of serenity over there than Lagos; like not too crowdy and you could sit for a little while before ing the queue for interview (important for someone like me that doesn't like stress).

I had my conversation with the VO, an elderly white woman at window 6. I was the 3rd she attended to that morning, the two before me were denied.



LASTLY.
Will I be able to get Okada or Keke to take me from Washington Dulles International Airport to my school?

Congratulations

Adedayo65:
Of course, they sent a mail and even an sms.

Okay, thank you

[quote author=Adedayo65 post=78692563]Yes!! Mine was postp. till june

How did you get to know your interview was postponed? Was a mail sent to that effect or what?
