No need to fret i believe, I received two of this mail and I just picked up my port on Monday, No interview at all
I got my decision mail a day after receiving the 2nd Nsf email

( Although i did put in 2 paid calls, 15 working days after receiving the first Nsf )

VISA ALERT!!!!
VISA ALERT!!!!

Finally, I have carried my evidence. After 5 weeks of waiting, anxiety, and prayers, God showed himself faithful.

A special thanks to:
Everyone on this platform that finds time to share their success stories.

Those who find the courage to share their failures coz we learn from mistakes.

Those who make time out of their very busy schedules to respond to people's queries. God bless us all specially

I also pray for all that are waiting for a response anxiously as I was, God in heaven sees and knows all of your worries. Your efforts and resources will not go to waste. Amen

A breakdown of my application process:

Biometric date: 16th June

Nsf mail requesting additional documentation of what I've been doing since graduation: 22nd July

Submitted documents: 23rd July

Interview mail: 31st July
Scheduled for interview on the 8th of August

Interview date: August 8th, interview lasted over an hour 15mins

No words from Ukvi so I made my first paid call on the 16 of August and was told to wait until the 21st if I haven't gotten a decision then they'll escalate. I was nervous during these times and prayed in my heart all day as I waited. First thing on the 21st morning I looked at my emails, but there was nothing. Tracked my application, but it was still stuck in decision making so I made another paid call and was told a decision had been made that I should keep looking at my emails.

A few hours after the call, TLS mail came for pickup...

Visa was dated: 19/08
Picked up: 21/08

I come too fine for the vignette ☺️

No paid mail/call
Keele University (they were really fast with their CAS and they also respond fast to mails(
Yes, my POF showed when I transferred my school fee /living expenses (I think that was why they asked for source of funds)

Okay, congrats, e no easy. For me I did my biometric on the 19th (Monday) and it got received by DMC the following day (20th) followed by an empty nsf that same day and since then I haven't heard anything from them, it's still on Received by DMC.
I know it's still too early to be worried but the NSF mail is what scares me.
Though I have no study gap, graduated last year and completed NYSC last month (included that cert too in documents ed) and my POF shows no large transactions. I did everything fine. Just wondering why I still got empty NSF but hopefully I hear from them soon.

While they sound similar, one is Engineering while the other is management, but it’s not a problem regardless, you’ll get your visa

Good day all

I came in last week Friday, not sure why but i wasn't even asked for accomodation details. I was just asked what the name of my course is and my Uni. Had the same concern before that tbh.

Seems Stoke-on-Trent universities (Staffordshire uni and Keele uni) issue their CAS fast and quick with email replies too.
