Thanks to everyone who assisted in answering my queries. I have another question, after submitting the applications and the payment been made, I discovered that my 3 years old son's appointment date is a day prior to the rest of us ( I paid his application 2 days before the rest 3). I'd like to ask if it's something I should worry about?, because canceling/changing the appointment date will attract lost of 77$ user fee and some other long process.

Hello everyone, justwise: ekpotek and other. Please I need your help... I was denied my first application with foolish excuse. The docs I submitted was not checked and in the refusal letter, all the stuff they used to consider my application was not related to me. let's fastfwd... I have reapplied and I'm trying to link my new GWF with TLS but it keeps bringing the old GWF number. Please what can I do to rectify it? I don't want to created another profile on TLS

Finally got my passport today with Tier 2 work visa issued.

Timeline:
2 August 2018 - Biometrics (paid for priority)
2 August 2018 - Passport transferred to UKVI
3 August 2018 - Got mail from UKVI confirming receipt and consideration by ECO
15 August 2018 - Passport collected

The above shows a 2week timeline (9 working days) instead of the 5 working days they said. In between the dates I've had to call UKVI twice and even visited TLS twice before finally getting it today. I'm not sure what's causing the current delay in returning visa as I met people with same delay issue. wahala dey o.

Off to book my flight. Goodluck everyone.

An evidence to show you have strong social and economic tie to your home country

Thank you very much. I just wanted to ask if there was any suggestions as to what would constitute as evidence of strong social and economic ties.

Congrats on your visa! I know nothing about Tier 2 visas. Almost switched from a tier 4 visa 6 years ago but skipped because I moved to the US.

Can you tell me a bit more please? Thanks

Oh I got a permanent role with the UK office of my current place of work hence I was required to apply for a work visa before resuming there. I guess one's employer has to be one of the licensed sponsors before the visa can be granted. I sha didn't do anything extra so I'm not sure how you can independently apply for jobs with recognised sponsors.

Good luck.

please how can i withdraw an application that was just submitted on monday ... The passport is being requested for by the Canadian embassy next week. Thanks ... (very urgent)

Why not send them an email and explain the why you need your passport. They could return the passport why still processing your application. To me this should be the first approach before withdrawing the application.

Exactly this was my case too....I have every reason to believe my documents were not checked...
The decision was made without any assessment

Utility bill is necessary only when you residing on own property.

Birth certificate is necessary to proof your age

Use prime time if you can afford it.

I am really enjoying this platform.

Pls I also submitted my application 30th of July its going to be 15 working days tomorrow and I got a mail today from VISAINFO. SHEFO that my application is not straight forward so they can't meet the stipulated time they usually process application so I still need to wait cos its still under process. (This is the 2nd mail I am receiving from them the 1st one was they have received my application and its under process). I applied for a standard visitor visa (Non Piority) and this is not my first application I have been given their visa more than 3 times.

I dont know whats happening oo... Pls has anyone seen this kind of mail and what was the end result..... Pls what should I do.....do I need to call them?

Pls kindly respond.
Thanks.

Many people got that email too. My friend got it. He submitted in June, escalated two weeks ago, nothing yet.
I heard this time of the year is always busy for them; summer break and international students starting their courses in September.

You can go with any of the dates which ever you prefer. Register on the TLS site as a group. Happened to me, my son had an earlier date and i went with his.

Thanks a lot. Have already filled and submitted the form online without using the primetime. How can I change it to primetime?

Right, I see. Makes sense. Used to be an option to switch from T4 to 2 when I studied. Thanks.

Enjoy working in the UK.

Pls help I need your advice

I am a first time UK visa applicant, I did my biometric enrolment on 15th of August. what amazed me is that the person that did my biometric told me to look up at the camera up and say my name and my date of birth. Is this how they did for everyone?
