Present what you have and explain why you don't have marriage certificate.

@ Justwise that means I can present the wedding I.V in 2011, wedding pictures, current & old pics with my wife & 2 years old daughter and then explain that the engagement & wedding was a traditional marriage ceremony in 2011. I hope theses docs are sufficient? Thanks.

I am a married public servant and I intend to visit Uk with my spouse for 2 weeks in Feb 2015 dur my leave to mark my wedding anneversary with my half brother a Uk citizen.
I intend to apply month end and submit the following:
1 Letter of intro from my office
2 6 months payslip
3 Appointment letter
4 6 months salary acc with balance of NGN 1Million
5 Marriage certificate, our passports.

My sponsor wants to send the following :
Letter of invitation stating he will handle our flight,accomodation while I provide spending money
Utility bills for both his rented flat and our mothers house which she owns
6 months acc balance with GBP 9k savings
British passport

My dilemma is
Is it appropriate for him to state he will pay for our flights
Is it appropriate to mention 2 possible accomodation for us?
Thirdly,I earn about GBP 1k monthly and intend to state in the application form that I spend GBP 200 monthly(my spouse is unemployed) Is that okay?
Thanks for your assistance.

Yes that is all you have to do and the ECO will decide if it's sufficient or not

Does your sponsor work?
And why do you want to lie about your salary?

@Justwise firstly, my sponsor is employed in Uk and has a reasonable bank statement. Secondly, theres no lies about my earnings. I have just saved up for this trip up to that amount and thats it.

Sorry I just noticed my mistake with the second question.

Since your sponsor works then there is no problem if he wants to pay for the flight, he needs to send you his bank statement as a proof of his income

I posted this yesterday but im asked to re post it. This attached letter is given to my nephew as refusal letter at uk embassy. My nephew is almost 65 and i told them in letter i will be sponsoring her but they keep on refusing her. I want to know if i can appeal this case and how to go about it. Thanks.

The refusal points are very clear, you need to address them all one after the other

Thank you very much. What i want to know is that do i go for appeal or i reapply, thats my question.

Yes. We approached them the second time we reapply even we added pictures of my nephew and i on my wedding day but the consular is unbent that is why i want to know if we should reapply or appeal. Thank you.

Your rights of appeal is limited, it means, you can not appeal the decision as you need the FULL rights to do so.
By the way, you are referred to as a nephew to the applicant who is a 65 years old woman, therefore, she is your AUNT, not a nephew as you described her. Also, you may want to look up the word, Niece

That is a long time....you should have contacted the embassy long time ago. Their contact details are on their website.

@justwise
Thanks for your information,
Have called them several time today but they wouldnt pick, but have sent them an email now
and i will also try to check VFS tomorrow morning maybe it would have been available for pick.

@obig

Which centre did you apply as Teleperformance has been known to take long because they send to Sheffield directly.

Please note that if you applied through VFS your package if ready will be collected at Teleperformance.

@ace101
I applied through VFS ikeja.

@ace101
Please were you notified that your package is ready for pick up or you just decided to go there and check if its out,
why am asking is that the status has not changed on the tracking site.

@obig

Thats where i applied from as well. Go and check for your package at Teleperformance Ikeja, Etiebets Place, Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way as VFS is no longer a drop off or collection centre for UK applications.

@obig

I received an email from UK embassy lagos but not VFS and i collected a few days later from Teleperformance office. The status will not change on VFS website as they are no longer the collection point.

ace101
OK, Thanks.
I will go to Teleperformance tomorrow morning to check.

@obig

Ok, goodluck.

Try that and see what happens.

@ace101 and justwise
Please is it compulsory to receive a mail from tp or Uk embassy to confirm that my application has been processed before i could go and check if my package is ready for pickup?

@Justwise and other gurus in the house. I want to study a postgraduate course next year January and I want to sponsor my self. I have more than sufficient fund. I want to know, should I submit my CAC certificate and TCC while applying for visa?
