Good afternoon house. Please my brother has already filled his visit visa application and directed to TLS webpage. After proceeding to step 2 which is APPOINTMENT BOOKING he couldn't book a date because those dates are not highlighted and he only saw ASSISTED/ SELF SERVICE AND UPGRADE TO PREMIUM LOUNGE at 10am. He clicked on it and the system is not highlighting the service. Please what can he do because he is trying to submit on June 3 and email was sent to him by this contact that he only has 60 calendar days to book his appointment. Please help us. Thanks

Good Evening House,
Please, how long does priority Visa application take? I received application transfer mail to UKVI @ 5.30pm on 23rd April 2019 after biometric in Abuja. No further update since then.

This is a misinformation ! I didn't receive a mail that says decision has been made, I was rather sent a dispatched email as shown below.

Dear XXXXX,

Your UK visa application has been despatched from the UK Visa Section.

If you are applying from Europe, North & West Africa and GCC countries:

- And you submitted your application at a visa application centre - You will receive an email shortly from TLS or VFS about collecting your decision. Please ensure you check your e-mail account and do not attend the VAC until you are advised to...

I'm sorry about your case. I think u need to be patient and prayerful at this juncture because I can see on the thread that you have explored all the possible means to retrieve your documents. I will keep in touch if I see other possibilities. Good luck !

Tawakalituolas:
seriously, I'm sick and tired of everything. Cos i have contacted UKVI several times and they keep rejecting my debit MasterCard.

ozymes:
Glory to God! Got despatch mail yesterday @ about 3.50pm and got application assessed and passport ready for collection @ about 11.47am today. Passport picked up with a 10 years visa issued. Gracias amigos.

Tawakalituolas:
thanks for the correction.

OmoBendel24:

Pls guys just a quick one, made a little mistake on my name one letter was before the other and i have already booked an appointment. Can i accompany it with a note on my cover letter?

Thanks for all the good work guys.

OmoBendel24:

Say “you have tried to contact” UKVI several times, not “that you have contacted” please. Kindly use another card if that particular one isn’t working for you. Sorry about your predicament!

Hi good evening everyone, please I need help and clarification on something. My spouse(female) who is Nigerian and is also an EU citizen staying in Greece, she recently got a job in the UK. And she's coming to Nigeria in August for our marriage. Now my question is what type of marriage should we apply for at the ikoyi registry so it would be easier when we start the process for me to come to join her in the UK. Thanks in advance.

OmoBendel24:


Congrats dude, nice one there!

Yommieyomi:
I'm writing to all applicants that applied within the first week in April at Ikeja VAC to post their timeline or current status so that we can help ourselves with the application tracking.

No single email or news till date.

Yommieyomi:
Seem no one is willing to post their timeline here
This is to aid tracking of applications submitted first week in April.

Thanks for the wonderful job. I instead to travel to d UK am a student my cousin instead to sponsor me, she send d invitation letter, payslips, etc expect her statement of account

femiart:
please anyone. she has both eu and nigerian passport. i urgently need an answer please as it ll help me to proceed. thanks

Abini2012:


Go to the UK student thread.
Although it has been repeated countless times that nobody can sponsor an education except one's parents or self.
You can ask your cousin to transfer the money to your account or your parents.
Except you want to dash UK govt money

Pls guys just a quick one, made a little mistake on my name one letter was before the other and i have already booked an appointment. Can i accompany it with a note on my cover letter?

Thanks for all the good work guys.

chukyrooy:


I appreciate all the answers guys but pls can one letter mistake on your application name ruin your whole application?

Infiosa:


Please leave no stone unturned! Your little mistake might be seen as an oversight if you are lucky enough but if you are not, it could be used as a reason for denial. I made mistakes on two different applications during mine and I had to cancel the appointments and I was refunded exactly one month later. I did fresh application while I was cancelling the other applications with mistakes. Refu ds and decision came out the same week and it was all positive. I will advise u to cancel the appointment and wait for refund , u can also start a fresh application at the same time. Then u wont be thinking of your little mistake while waiting on decision. Best of luck.

@justwise @d-law, and the rest,you guys are doing a great work in taking your time out to enlighten people on this forum,you're all well appreciated.
I applied for uk visa in 2007 but i was refused.unfortunately for me the guy that help in the application process then misleaded me to use an age that's totally different from my real age on my international passport,i was single then he also arranged married on the P. He also said i have two kids in the visa application then all was lie.
Moving forward i have to find means to do another passport that has my real information and i've tried application to us twice with my new passport but was also refused, pls what's the way forward for me if i have to apply to uk and how do i go about it.
I am the MD of my company and i also have other personal business with good acct but i run most of my expenses on my coporate account since i don't have personal account.
Your wealth of knowledge will be of great help in this my matter. Thanks

The only money you people will be spending here is her ticket and maybe £200-300 for her shopping nothing more, so there is no need moving money into her account.

In addition to all the documents you listed you also have to add proof of accommodation e.g tenancy agreement or mortgage papers.

Let your siblings sponsoring write a joint letter stating that they will be sponsoring her to the UK and that they will be paying for her ticket while you takes care of her accommodation and feeding. That they will also give her £200 or so amount for her shopping.

Then they will submit their bank statements, payment slips and employment letter just to support their source of income.

@justwise I'm in a fix right now. Finding it difficult to answer some questions here because of my mum's situation, she's just a petty trader and gets money from children every month (no fixed amount)
1. How much do you earn in a year?
I intend writing #300000

2.Total amount of money you earn in a year
I intend writing 750000

3. How much do you have in savings? 650GBP
4. How much money are you planning to spend on your visit to the UK? £850
I am the one sponsoring. Budget is £650 for return flight ticket and £200 for shopping. I will be providing feeding and accommodation. Planned visit is for four months. Is this realistic?

5. What is the total amount of money you spend each month? #25000

6. Will anyone be paying towards the cost of your visit? Yes
7. How much will they be paying? £850
8. Why are they helping to pay for your visit? She is my daughter and I am dependent on her and my other children

Please help your girl. My head is scattering with all these questions, tier 2 application was not like this. Please and please, I need to submit her application ASAP.
Is it advisable to mention in the application that I just had a baby and I want here so that we could reunite and for her to bond with her new grandchild?

Will a closing balance of £2700 fly?

I have few cash deposits, one £220 and £400, all gotten from cash gifts gathered during my baby's naming, do I need to explain all these?

Abeg no vex o, plenty questions for my head

Thank you in anticipation of your usual kind gesture. God bless you plenty plenty
