Hello house,
If you went for your bio on 19th of August (standard). Have you gotten any info?. Cu I haven't

I have gotten decision but not yet moved from DMC to vac

EmiKhaleesi:
I have benefitted so much from this thread so I thought to also share my experience .

Got ission offer from University of Dundee on 7 April. I was still hanging around to see if I would get a substantial scholarship from other schools, but did not so I requested for CAS on June 21. They wanted bank statement which I submitted on July 2.

Since then they were so unresponsive, I tried using a school agent to get the CAS but it didn't help because according to him, I had already started the process myself by submitting the bank statement. On July 21, they sent me an email for PreCAS interview, and then sent my CAS on July 26 after I requested a refund of my fees because CAS was taking too long. I already paid 50%.

I only had 5 days left for the validity of my bank statement but I went ahead to apply for my visa on the same July 26.

Biometrics - Aug 3 (V.I)
Transferred to DMC - Aug 3
Paid Mail - Aug 24
Decision Made on Letter - August 22
Collection- September 1

I had booked a flight on Aug 24 on Wakanow for Sep 13, it was Air . But the customer service assured me transit visa only takes 5 days, so I went to confirm booking. Unfortunately, there was no appointment in Lagos till Sep 15.

So had to go to Abuja for walk-in on Sep 2, Friday. A travel agency on twitter wrote it takes 2-3 working days at the center o.

As at Wednesday, the note on my online application was still showing transferred to the embassy, I wasn't familiar with the visa process tracking but I assumed it was already being processed hy the embassy. On Thursday morning , I started getting worried, so I gathered all the emails of the embassy s I could find online and emailed by 8am that I needed my visa to travel quickly, I sent this in French sha, thanks to Google translate.

No one responded o, but In less than 1hour I got notifications that my transit visa was being processed and then it was transferred to VFS for collection. VFS sent collection email by 5pm yesterday. Picked up today with stamp on it.

Crazy ride but God was faithful. Avoid any transit routes except you have atleast 2-3 weeks before your travel. See y'all in the Youkay!

Congratulations. Can I send you a DM? Looking at January intake

Bigboy75:
Hello everyone, has anybody gotten an offer from huddersfield recently? I got an offer on Friday and I was told to to accept the offer, I didn't create any name and while applying for the course. My question is how do I get the name and I'm required to with? I can't find the info anywhere.

Put “u” in front of your student ID i.e. “u2245678” as name then as date of birth in this form: 12jun2022 meaning day month year. January becomes Jan.

If you’re not clear check online (google)

Any adult member of the family can go pick up.

If you have not done biometric, there is really nothing to track.

Say after your biometric, you to gov dot UK, and choose the biometric option, which is usually the third green box, it will redirect you to your TLS page and you will see track, click track and you can know exactly where Ur application is.

Ask Ur agent for you details to to govdotuk to be able to do this

@dduchess
Pls is it advisable to apply for dependent visas at the same as the main applicant or is it advantageous for main applicant to apply first?

Please,I seriously need your help on UK Student visa application. Biometric was done on the 25th of July in Abj, I made my first paid mail on the 23rd of September, no decision taken. I escalated it on 24th of September, I was told to wait for 15 working days. Meanwhile, after the escalation I was requested to send my date of birth and email address, which I did. I made another paid mail on the 1st of September and it was still awaiting decision. I have been making paid calls each week till now and yet awaiting decision. I made a paid call on the 16th of September and it was escalated again. Am so worried,this is the 8th week of waiting. Though I have completed online pre-enrolement but my school gave 3rd October as a deadline for ing. What could be responsible for this long and unusual delay? Is there anything else to do? Anyone who has ed through same experience and what was the outcome?

No they don’t.

Home students pay 8,500
International student to pay 16,000
But then they will give scholarship or discount of 3000 and I'm suppose to be happy?

Reminds me of Jumia Black Friday where an item that cost 10,000 naira will be d as 20,000 naira 15,000 naira
