Travelmonk:
Hello All,

Great forum as always.
Just want to ask about your opinion on my chances.
I just applied for my family:

Me: Been to U.S 3times (Bus.,/leisure),
Been to UK 3times (Business) still
with valid standard visa

Wifey: Been to US 3 times (2 holiday trips, 1 birthing)

Child 1: No history, under 12

Child 2: U.S Citizen)
Child 3: U.S Citizen). TRIPLETS
Child 4: U.S Citizen)

I applied explaining I already have a visa but it's a family holiday, I will be supporting with £1k as wifey is sole applicant with a total budget of £4.5k. Hotels booked, some family fun tickets purchased, others will be on entrance(communication with event centres sbmitted also), wifey statement 5mm. Your kind response is appreciated

Thanks

KDK:

Please relax, each case is reviewed on its individual merits. I know of someone that got a 10 year visa with a similar account balance. I wish u the best.

buddiemm:


KDK, thanks. We have a newspaper publication we did in 2016 but I have never submitted it in my previous application that is why I am thinking if I should go and do another newspaper publication so the ECO won't say I hided anything in my previous application. My wife has never applied for a U.K. visa before but I do write her name in my previous application under SPOUSE INFORMATION with her maiden name as her surname.

Thanks bro...God bless you

Is there a reason at all you think this won't fly? On the surface, it looks a done deal though as much as the basics were appropriately covered, like; form filling, no previous issues with them (and even with the US), eldest child/children being on holiday at the time, sound account running despite the N5m balance in wifey's account, etc....

Unemployment is only acceptable if your mother is looking for work. Home making/housewife is preferably if she is an elderly person. What was her status in her previous application in 2011? Just explain in your cover letter why your mother is unemployed.

You budget line should only be for her flight ticket and perhaps £100 for incidentals. Accommodation and feeding is free. She coming there to see her grandson, so all those expense like shopping, etc should be eliminated. Move money to you current account and re submit both current and saving accounts and explain to ECO to show you have access you saving account, you have moved £2000 to your current account. Then you can also credit your mum account with flight ticket money and £100 pocket money. Again move the fund from your savings and explain to the ECO that you doing this so that you have access to this account and she can buy her ticket from Nigeria. The ECO want so see that you have access to your saving account, so show it.

28days b4 visa application
2. How many years visa will be given to my dependants
3. How soon can my family ( dependants) join me, " can we even resume together in October" ?
4. What are the documents to be submitted for the visa application
4. On getting to UK will my husband be allowed to work
5. Are there day care for 1yr old babies
6. In how many weeks can we get a decision on our visa application.

Please Educate me.

Thanks alot!

sweetrie:
Good evening guys, Please how long does it take to get passport back in case of a withdrawal (passport is with UKVI but no decision made yet). Thank you. Cc justwise. Everyone. Please.

walmart:
Good day experts. I did my biometrics on the 6th of June, till date no passport in sight. Each type I track, no decision has been made. The training I was going for was to start today. That aside, I have another trip which I have already paid for which I do not want to miss. Please does anyone know if there is any need to call UK immigration to enquire, and if I cancel my application how long will it take to get my passport back?
Thanks.

justwise:


You have to call or email them first, have you visited to the visa centre to know if by any chance your passport is there?

justwise:


No idea, somebody here had the same experience but i don't know how long it took before he got his passport back, keep calling and emailing them.
