Just here to update, I was advised by the house that TLS wouldn't take documents but to my dismay they only took my husbands passport and scanned the front of his application form. No IHS, No TB, No VAF form, they said he's got to post every single document to Sheffield.

Is this what every one else has experienced please? I don't know if I'm over reacting but if we've spent £1500, the least they can do is scan the applicants docs while I post mine here in the UK. The most revolting part is TLS then sent a feedback request email. I mean is this a practical joke?

21 Nov - Passport taken, biometrics done

Print as much as u can off the whatsapp and facebook (not 500 pages o)

Thanks oga justwise, infact it's not me here at all.two things at once ( what I 'll see tomorrow and no info on kids).
The 2 that I didn't receive email are for my daughters. received mine and the smallest girl. Meanwhile they have returned documents to my hubby so what will they be using if they havnt decided on theirs? Just baffled.Really sorry for my rants, just emotional.

Thanks

@ justwise, I so much appreciate your time to reply me. God bless you real good. Thank you.
I will put everything together and seek more advice as we proceed.

justwise:


You will finally hear from them unfortunately not at the same time for all 4 applications, i got no idea why they separate it the way they do but this is common.

deebaby05:
Oh Thank you sooo much Oga justwise. You are really Just and wise.lol.
My heart rate is now normal and I can sleep ok since I now know it's common. I really appreciate you.
God will honour you as you keep helping People.
Below is what I saw on tls.

Hello house,

Good evening to you all, please I need help. I am a tier 4 student that just got into UK. I want to apply for dependent visa for my husband and baby. please do we need to show maintenance for the 3 of us? or only maintenance for my husband and baby? it is just the both of them applying, I am already in UK.

please I will appreciate your responses, please help me out. thanks.

Aphrodite007:


Well I think it’s safer to get the documents mailed to you in the UK then you mail everything to Sheffield yourself. It is better to guarantee that the documents have gotten to them than have them scan the documents and then some important pages would now be missing.

I know the price is outrageous but my dear, little price to pay to be with your partner.

Please did they keep his passport or tell him to mail it too? So all they wanted was just to scan the data page of the passport, no other document at all? Not even for sighting? I just want to know whether to just walk in with my passport or carry all my docs along for my biometrics. Thanks

ronvlaar:
Guys, madam no get patience again o lol..

For example, a Tier 4 (General) applicant who is applying for leave to study in London at the
same time as their spouse and 2 children would need to show that they have £845 per month for
their spouse and a further £845 per month for each of their children, in addition to £1265 per
month required for their own support. In total the family will require evidence that they hold
£3800 in available funds up to a maximum of 9 months (3 x £845 = £2535 + £1265). (Source: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/603815/PBS_dependent_guidance_Jan_2017.pdf)


Can I ask a question:
1. Are YOU self-sponsored or you are on a scholarship?
2. When Exactly did you arrive the UK?
3. It is actually expected that you show maintenance funds for: ANY Dependant as well as YOURSELF). Since you said you just arrived recently, it is expected that you still have a large chunk of the 9-month maintenance money you showed during your own application right?


Thank you so much for your response. I am on a full tuition fee only scholarship. I arrived UK 2 weeks ago. I am outside London. Was just confused if they will still expect my own maintenance money as well in the account. Or just maintenance for my husband and baby without mine in it?

Maintenance for 9months for ur hubby nd ur child is very important

I am the applicant here in Nigeria and my wife is the sponsor.my employer here is willing to assist with employment letter that I work with them but if it is not necessary I will forget it ,just your opinion. I had already fill the online form that I work

I am already in UK since 2 weeks ago, I am on a full tuition fee scholarship only. Just confused if immigration still expect to see my own maintenance money too, or just husband and baby maintenance is okay. Thanks for your response, I appreciate

Minnienellie24:


It does work as I used the GWF number of Hubby's spouse visa and My grand dad's visiting visa both in June and July respectively. It could probably be that your number has not been updated or something.

Two Weeks Ago. Means you still have your own Maintenance money in your account.

Full tuition ONLY means you are responsible for your own Maintenance right?


Given the Above, You need to show evidence of Maintenance funds for:
Your child
Your Husband
Yourself (Which shouldn't be much of a problem considering that you are expected to still have a humongous account balance since you are only "2 weeks old"in the UK

deebaby05:
God is good ooo and thanks @justwise for this forum and to the wonderful people of this house. Our Visa has been issued. Still waiting for 2 for my daughter's but I believe it will be issued also. Though I had submitted my application b4 I got this thread, I was able to use lots of advices. Like 3 weeks or so ago, I had to tell hubby to get his co tenant to write a letter that he's aware of our relocation and is ok with it and that the accommodation will not be overcrowded.

They don't always update your page in line with your application progress.

Thanks for your kind words.

Lamakinde:

I used only tls, I tried the other one too but wasn't successful. Just hold on and check the TLScontact checker.

Good morning my people, I have been following this thread for sometime now. I really appreciate everyone here.
Please I have few questions to ask;
1) my supporting documents has been returned to my husband since last week Tuesday (7th November). Up till now I haven't gotten any decision made email. And I can see from the previous post that most people get decision made email immediately they returned their supporting documents.
Do I have to send a message on tls website about it. Probably, they forgot to send me a mail or I should go to the embassy to check.
2) Can my husband (sponsor) call home office on my behalf?
Please I need your advice. Thanks

Lamakinde:

Well, it seems they have a lot on their table. Myself and someone got decision same day and passport delivery. We are yet to get our docs delivered and can't even track online since it is yet to be sent, according to the Royal mail staff. So, I will advise you relax as TLScontact and UKVI don't update their timeline same time in some cases.
