FfeJ:
Another good news and encouragement to all here, your approval is coming soon. We got our approval this Monday. God is so good!

Yaaaay...congratulations, FfeJ.

Congratulations Dwebb55! I also got my approval this week. I applied early March.

Update: 5 Dec. List is out...there are so many family visas

Olaiyatunnex:
Early March, pls what's ur number like? 49.. or 51.. or 50... Let us know so we can deduce the ones they are on now

FfeJ, May application, what ur number like too?

Hi Olaiya, my number is 496...

FfeJ:


Nothing yet, I just want to know if they are even making decisions on family visa so I can estimate the time I may get a decision for my husband’s application. No one is saying anything. How can they update 50 decisions and non are family. When students are no longer applying, so what exactly is stoping them from attending to family?

Some of the '49' numbers are most likely family.

Also, I submitted early March, no decision yet.

FfeJ:
@Cyntopath I’ll try this.Thank you very much!!

Hi Ffej, were you able to reach them?

Oh, I understand.

Whattttt, the layovers are longggg. Total time is like 34 hours. I couldn't do that to my wife let alone my 3 month old

I got KLM so

Congratulations! Check Qatar.

8BitGee:


Thank you.

What's worse is that I had to ring KLM to ask them that I wanted to pay in Naira via transfer because they won't let you pay in Naira with your Naira card. Naira is not on the list of currencies.

Got KLM at ~$2800 for an adult and infant

Turkish is even more expensive.

Currently i think they are treating October 2021. I’d say give or take by December they could have gotten to March 2022. If they maintain the tempo or even improve on it. So, if you withdraw and apply by October for a study visa, it would also be around the same time it will be treated.

I’d say keep the patience. Provided you are 100% sure your application satisfies all the requirement on the website plus income criteria and you didn't deviate from the purpose of your application which to unify with your spouse the outcome will be favourable.

Like someone mentioned, we didn't go overboard in our application. Critical skills work permit, signed employment contract, IRP (it was even stamp 2 we used back then because the stamp 1 was not out), marriage certificate (requirement for it to be apostiled was not in place back then), NPC birth certificates for our children and bank statement, proof of dependency (funds sent frequently for family upkeep). All these were what we submitted.

If you choose to apply for study visa, i can say categorically, it will be certainly treated without prejudice to your previous family application provided you satisfy all the requirement.

Best wishes

Thank you so much.

Hey, I have thought of doing the same too. And I have asked around. No one was able to give any assurance of what the outcome would be. You never really know with this embassy.

Well, true.

Olaiyatunnex:
Student visa, sure u will be granted if u meet the requirement, they want ur money nau. You should get a response before Oct, hope you application is under critical, if not I can't say you will get response before Oct.

Thank you so much for your response. Yes, it is.

Hi everyone, I submitted a spouse visa application in March. I plan to withdraw that in October if I don't get a response from them by then and apply for a study visa. I'd like to know if anyone here has done something like this and what are the chances that the study visa will be approved?

Thank you so much

I don't see how that will help when you are currently without a job. You can't spend your little savings on foreign trip without any strong source of income.

My dad is sponsoring the trip. The whole thing plus the allowance.

justwise:

You don't have strong tie to Nigeria so i wouldn't encourage you to reapply now

hmm. ..what if I have shares...
And any other alternative please I want to travel before my service in October. ..
Pleeeaaassseee
