Hello house, please how long does it take for a decision made passport to be returned to TLS for collection?

i received a message notifying me that my passport will be at the TLS 3 to 5days after making their decision, since last week Thursday, but am yet to get a message from TLS.

thanks

Gurus in the house! I need your URGENT advice, after my application for family settlement, was refused last year on flimsy reason, I immediately appealed the decision since November 2015 up until now my appeal is still lying fallow (9) months after without a date fixed for the hearing after their usual 15 weeks of review which has lapsed 4 months ago, their usual response is with many emails, they have not got respondent's bundles, they have not overturned their original decision, therefore the appeal will progress through the appeal process .....please note that we are unable to provide timeframes for the appeal process (as a whole or each procedure within the process)due to a number of varying factors. Even,If they maintain that appeals are currently heard within 12 months on average, and 9 months hearing date has not been fixed by HM Courts & Tribunals Service at the Ministry of justice? what can we do?

any luck yet at abdulsalam

Please my wonderful peeps,

This is the breakdown of my husband budget, we reduce it from 12 to 9 days
pls am about to submit please make corrections, if am wrong

How much do you spend each month on living costs?
65

How much of your total monthly income is given to your family members and other dependants?
0
What is the cost to you personally of your trip in GBP(£)? 0

The total amount of money you have for this trip
750
The cost of the aeroplane, boat or train tickets
600

The cost of your accommodation- I filled 0 becos the reservation is for 2 persons but am not applying, though the cost of the accommodation is 368……this is the part that is confusing me

The cost of your living expenses – 150

Who is paying for this trip- My Wife

How much will they be paying towards your trip? - 750

now my confusion is do I add the amount of the accommodation to make it 1168 pounds or leave it at 750 pounds by excluding the cost of the hotel

Cc,justwise Askari,frontpagelawyer,vicjustice,fakmurphy and any with similar experience..pls all the gurus make inputs


God bless you.

You presented a complicated story, the figures are difficult to understand.
By the way, you stated that this is a breakdown of your husband's budget (and that makes me to assume that you are the wife), yet, you said your "wife" is paying for the trip.

I think i got it now.
Well, you were asked about the amount that you would be spending for the trip, and that include the accommodation cost and the estimated costs of other expenses. So, combine them and give a round figure for example "£1200 Approximately".
By the way, what do you mean by 65 in relation to your monthly living cost?

Are you travelling together? If yes, then the cost of accommodation for your Husband should be = N/A

The print out of the Hotel reservation should be attached to his application and you have a chance of explaining this to the ECO.

Therefore the total amount available for his trip (Husband) is £750 and not £1168

@Vicjustice, frontpagelawyer, i sincerely appreciate your responses, let me state that, i am sponsoring my hubby on this trip, though i already have a visa, so am not applying,but we are travelling together, he is the only one applying.so do i stick to 750

Frontpagelawyer Justwise I just read of the visa-free entry to the UK for Commonwealth countries. Any truth in the article?

It could be one of those jokes.

Just a lie on some boys blog.

No truth in that, it was started by a lady who is wanted by British govt for an alleged visa fraud.

She has been spreading this false news for months now.

Hello Gurus in the house, I had a two years UK visa which has expired. I used this visa twice and on the last occassion, i mistakenly over stay for a period of 9months and at the point of exit, the officer told me that I will only be given a punishment of 1yrs ban but I have not apply since my return two years ago.

My question now is that If I apply now, is there possibility that I will be given the punishment now or it has already pass since I havent apply since two years ago. Also, if I apply, do I stand any chance of getting the visa again?

Thanks

9 months is Damn much really, i'd advice you stay way for now until u have established ur self here.. better still, look for another country for now if you must travel. But you can give it a try but be ready to answer lots of questions.

Hello ALL,

Can someone please give me the approximate visa fee amount in naira for 2 yrs visa ($449) and 5 yrs visa ($816). I'm not exactly sure what rate is being used to calculate the naira amount.

Thank you!!
