Hello everyone.

Thanks

Hello Gurus

Please help me out.. I have gotten a refusal letter for over 2 weeks now but yet to receive my passport.

Reason for refusal:
1. sponsor telephone wasn't reachable.
2. Discrepancies in the amount sponsor stated in their letter.

Biometrics done since 2nd of September.
Decision made since 21st of October (refusal letter sent already).

I am really wondering why its taking this long.
UKVI has really dealt with me psychologically because I really need my passport urgently.

I have made several paid calls, paid email ( they claimed to escalate and ask me to wait for 15 working days). I have also made complaint to UK GOV (to. wait 20 working days)

I have contacted TLS and visited physically but all efforts proved abortive.
I later got to know that all passports are with the embassy. I visited the embassy but was not even allowed to enter.

I don't know what to do again. I need my passport and this issue is having significant effect on my mental health.

How can I loose two fully funded opportunities because of UKVI delay. I thy know I would have opted for "Keep my Passport" before biometrics.

Please what can I do?
Can anyone link me to BHC lagos?
Has anyone been in my shoe?
Please help and save a soul

Any response yet from Ukvi because I have similar issue and I’m yet to get any response from them...get in touch please

Pls guys how much do I need to Hve for pof for care workers dependant

for more visibility and Opinions. Please share. Thanks in advance

I think he is trying to establish his longevity at a previous employment and that he is still working now even though only recently started this new job and I can’t fault it. I could or want to do the same to want to explain source of funds before August as ECOs can be funny.
Also when you have had a long employment or a well
Paying one, it gives your application an overall good credence
Secondly, Have a planned itinerary, research on what you are going to the UK to do and reduce budget a bit as u said ur monthly expenses are more than 300k but thats what u want to declare.
U must research and tell them how u will be touristing.
If any other assets in Nigeria add them to show you are well established- some add lands, cars, property documents etc

You must have held at least £1270/£1300 for a 28 calendar days @ OANDA rate, yet if maintenance was ticked on MA COS and extends to DAs you don't need pof.

Thanks for the reply, I used my dollar card, in the end I used my brother's UK bank card

Are you using a Naira card?

Katcheegirl:

Nothing positive yet oo.
Imagine, UKVI only sent me an email 2 days back that I should contact my VAC directly (TLS Victoria Island) that they have updated them.. I have emailed them but their response is generic..

Good afternoon everyone, please I want to make enquiry about Sponsorships visa
Please I need a guide on how to start the process.

[quote author=giselle237 post=118762524]
If your husband has done a student application he should be able to assist you as these questions are similar to his situation
1. Gov.uk has the amounts spelt out
2. POF should stay in acct minimum 28days before visa application
3. Tb test needs to be valid for the application.. as longs as application is done on/before December 20th it is fine
4. Apply with the current one. When the new comes u join both and travel
5. Documents to prove relationship to main applicant + tb test + financial documents. Check d students thread for anything else
6. Choice is yours and depends on your pocket [Thank you so much giselle.God bless you]

Please what is the average processing time for UK visit visa now in Nigeria. Planning to submit now

My people I’m here again as usual

I humbly wait for a response!

Thanks

Seunara101:
Guys I need answer... I did apply for UK visa but later I decided to cancel my application due to some personal issue, do you think I will get my visa fees back and my TLS fees

I also did the same thing and I am yet to get a decision from UKVI.
Please did you get a message if your cancellation was successful?

I registered with a new mail and proceeded from the scratch but I am hoping I get the money back asap

I got just the visa fees
