Wish us all the best with our applications.

I really appreciate. I’m sure we will be hearing good news from your end in the next 6 weeks.

Please kindly share the address you used so I be sure I'm not making any mistake.
Pls don't forget to come back with your timeline when you pick your visa!

The address I used was:

Settlement Applications
International Operations and Visas
6 Millsands Vulcan House
Sheffield
S3 8NH
United Kingdom

I did Priority, don’t know if the standard is a different address

God has done it!!! This God is too much. Just picked up my passport and the entry clearance/visa in there *dancing******

After everything he has done it for me and He will do for those waiting as well. Below is my timeline:

Type of application: Settlement(wife) but I put in Settlement marriage(mistake)- Priority
Application Submitted: 28 September 2017
Biometrics: October 4, 2017
Sent for Decision : October 4, 2017
Application received by UK Immigration: October 5, 2017
Supporting Documents sent to Sheffield: October 10, 2017
After coming across this topic on Nairaland, I realized the mistake I made in my application by choosing Settlement-marriage instead of Settlement-Wife and it was already too late for another application.
Wrote them a letter explaining the error and asking them for the IHS link : October 24,2017
Surprisingly got a an email requesting for payment for the IHS : November 22, 2017 (I leaped for joy)
Decision made email : December 1, 2017
Collection Email: December 4, 2017
Picked up : Today, Dec 5, 2017

Thank you to everyone that shared their experiences and everyone in the house. So excited!!!!


Baba God, Thank You.

P.s. I thought paying for Priority would mean faster process but all the same I’m happy.

He is wrong, pray that you submitted other evidence of communication that will compensate for excluding your whatsapp chat.

Whatsapp chat you submitted is not for VOs to read all the pages .

I didn't submit any evidence of communication as we've been communicating only through WhatsApp chat and FaceTime videos - for which I couldn't retrieve historic phone records. I only submitted about 40 photos of us with evidence of timelines linked to the photos where feasible. All the same, it all worked out as my wife got her visa.

Still wouldn't advice anybody to exclude evidence of communication..call log, whatsapp, Facebook etc.

Finally, a decision has been made. A mail popped in this morning, tho mail to pick up my passport is yet to come in but that one no concern me as I'll be on my way to Lagos first thing tomorrow morning..

Documents returned since yesterday morning too..

Hi guys, really grateful for being so helpful during my application process. Now me and my spouse are playing the waiting game. I’ll keep my timeline here for now:

I put date to travel for 12 February 2018
Standard Application (got refused a US visa once)
Application submitted: 1 Dec
Documents sent to spouse: 2 Dec
Biometric: 4th Dec
Document sent to Sheffield: 6th Dec
Documents received at Sheffield: 7th Dec

So waiting game. God willing I will be back with good news.

I don’t think it’s fair that they have to keep our passport for months- what about frequent fliers? They can always tell applicants to submit their passports a month before the decision is about to be made, or so. Sha, I complained about this in my feedback to TLS, hopefully they upgrade their services to consider people like us.

It's ridiculous really. 3 whole months. I am hoping a work trip does not come up during this period for me.

Amen, thank you

Hello house,

Please does the 2 weeks to send supporting documents ply to both standard and priority?

My documents will get to my sponsor tonight to send all tomorrow.

However, I received the email from UKVI that they have received my application and must ensure my sponsor has sent all documents. And if not received they will make a decision.

No reference to the 2 weeks for sending all documents in.

Is this okay/normal?

Thanks

It’s 2 weeks from your biometrics (priority and Standard) so relax. Just ensure it gets to your spouse on time so they can send it out immediately too.

Please did anyone submit in Abuja recently? Are they scanning supporting documents because it says so on TLS Abuja website.

https://uk.tlscontact.com/ng/ABV/index.php

Please can someone confirm.

I got told the same thing by UKVI... I bet they send that generically... Please don't worry! It's better u get everything in than to rush... Have it at the back of your mind that u've got within 2 weeks.

Priority Settlement- Husband! Biometrics done 5th Dec, Doc sent to Sheffield 7th Dec.
Waiting game begins!

They didn’t scan my docs. But they said that scanning will change from 5th December, however, I don’t think they scan for settlement visa, but you can take your docs, just in case.

Thanks Oga Justwise, you and everyone in this house did it for me! If not for Nairaland, I would not have seen my error... God bless you
