Hi thanks for the reply. But looking at the online application form which I believe is where you got your info from (I have attached to this quote), it only states self employed. Can’t see ... or director of a limited company..

Can you help me explain further how you got this? I’m kinda confuse..

Thanks

Any chance you can share this here or do I need to receive via email also? Cheers

Hey, this is Kakushia2’s husband.

WARNING, swerve FDM group. I joined them straight from the army for fear I couldn’t find any other employment. They basically give you usually 9 weeks of training, which they self assess to be worth up to £20k and then make you sign a training agreement promising to pay it if you leave within 2 years. Not to mention the training is dog shit and you get just one professionally recognised qualification worth about £140.

Then they get you a contract on client site, they will make you sign a contract agreeing to be “geoflexible” so will send you anywhere in the country they please. Then the client will usually pay £260 day rate for you, however FDM only give you about 40% of that money.

They are exploitative and bullying.

I’m free of them now thank god.

This is why I love nairaland.. you both don’t how how many lives you’ve saved. I already told a lot of my friends to apply, so now I have to tell them to abort the mission

God bless you plenty! Wish you guys the best in your endeavours.

Hi, what are people’s experiences with Lagos Ikeja tls office? I’m asking as I called UKVI today to enquire about my friend’s application and the lady over the phone informed me decision has be made and sounded very surprised that we hadn’t yet received it. We’re deeply worried about this as she’s paid for courier so don’t know how long we’re expected to wait before receiving the passport.

Hello Admin, I have just been refused on my application for a uk settlement visa on the grounds that I provided scanned copies and not the original copies of my wife's payslips, I was deemed eligible for every other requirements, relationship, English and others..

My passport was returned along with the refusal letter, am supposed to follow this link https://www.gov.uk/immigration-asylum-tribunal/appeal-from-outside-the-uk to start the appeal process as stated in the refusal letter, however after following link am not sure of what to click at this point.

Also I understand following a successful application, the supporting documents are sent back to the spouse in UK, but my wife hasn't received anything, is this normal in a refusal case like mine, thanks for your much anticipated response. Patrick24u2001@yahoo.com

And why did you submit photocopies? If you throughly went through this thread, you would know the photocopies and laminated documents are a NO NO....

Your wives documents would be returned to her soonest.

Now you have 2 options - Appeal (22 months wait) or re application (pay all over again (but IHS payment is usually refunded)......

Really 22months, the application was a priority application, does that not count for something at all, all that money gone like that?

You no know say UKVI dey hustle too

Guy this no be laughing matter, my wife has been crying, since I gave her the news, we re both exhausted financially, if I am doing a new application, can I still do a priority one?

No vex baba ... I know how it feels

I think you can. You just need to state clearly why you were denied and that you have now attached the original documents.

In UKBA's policy statement, it states that once initially denied a visa, you cannot use priority application again.

But on this forum, we have known people that used priority application, after an initial rejection. And spousal visa was still issued..

On this forum too, we have seen in the past of an applicant that got refused, they put in an appeal. After the appeal was lodged, UKBA advised them to withdraw the appeal (in less than a month). And the visa was granted (simply because UKBA also realised that their rejection was very flimsy).

So all the above options are open to you. Your choice and pocket to decide......

Hello house,
please this is very urgent, I submitted my application at the UK office at VI on Tuesday and also did my biometrics, I applied for a tier2 dependent visa of which my husband is the sponsor, the kind of visa I applied for is usually called Tier2 PBS or categorized under work visa l, but when I got to the office, I was told all my original documents which I brought that were not in A4 paper size should be photocopied to that size e.g my marriage certificate and our wedding pictures, I later got an email from TLScontact asking me to create an account, which I did and when I logged in, I realized I was registered on their website for visitors visa less than 6 months and that wasn't what I applied for, and i dont want to get refused due to their mistake,please what can I do? I don't want to get refused,and would I still need to post the original documents to UKVI? Please I need your help before it's too late. Thank you

Hi, i am about applying for mine too. I am shocked that you were asked to get A4 copies of your wedding pictures

Hello everyone, time for me to say a big thank you to the Group for all the support with no recourse to public funds (lol). But sincerely you guys provide a great support system here and we (definitely I) do not take it for granted.

So the twist to my application is that:
- I have been in and out of England for a couple of years, on Tier 4 Visa and multiple visit visas
- But my wife and I got married in England while I was on my current multiple visit visa because we did not know it is not allowed.
- But when we gave notice at the registry, our details were sent to Home Office
- We got a letter from UKBA about an ongoing investigation into our proposed marriage
- A few months later, we got another letter saying we could go ahead with the marriage
- We got married in January 2018 in England.
- During the spousal visa application process, found out about the Do not marry on visit visa clause and that made me worried that this might affect the visa application

But below is the Timeline for my Settlement (Husband) Visa Application:

Online Application Submitted: 22/02/2018 Priority
Biometric Taken: 26/02/2018
Doc Sent: 08/03/2018
Confirmation of delivery to Sheffield POBox through Royal Mail Special Delivery: 09/03/2018
Generic email from VISAINFO.SHEFO@fco.gov.uk: 17/03/2018
Called to check if supporting documents were received but not meaningful response: 13/04/2018
No email from UKBA at all
No Calls to sponsor or sponsor's employer (well not that we know of)
Passport collection email: 25/04/2018
Passport collected with visa: 26/04/2018 (30 working days from receipt of the document in Sheffield excluding Easter Holiday)
Settlement (Husband) Visa Successful.

I have attached the checklist of all the documents we submitted and how we arranged it. Please note that this is a personal preference, this arrangement, and documents submitted are based on our personal situation.

Thank you all once again. Nerve racking process, however with God and attention to detail it should be fine.
My take home is that the evidence of sponsor's financial capacity and proof of relationship are the key aspects to pay attention to.

I applied for a tier 2 dependant visa in January and i just got my passport back after 70 working days. They only asked for photocopies of all my documents including wedding pictures. At the end of the bio metrics, they returned everything back to me.

sorry to bother you please, did you have to send any supporting document to Sheffield? and was the visa granted.

mzapplication:
Sorry o. I have come again.

I have done much more investigation. Spent about 30 mins on the phone with these UK visa people.

It appears that this is not the thread for Tier 2 PBS Dependant visa. This is a thread for settlement. Whih is a beast.

Apparently PBS is much more straightforward, takes 15 days, and there is no document to submit other than the Maintenance document (and other standard docs).

LexusG and justwise can you please confirm?

please can I have the contact number

I might be wrong but I do think the TLScontact site is just for tracking of your application in Nigeria. I do not think any information about your visa type will affect your application. You filled out your application on UKBA portal and you picked the correct application type, yes?
Check you application form, if it has the correct information then I wont be borthered much about TLS site but I will let others respond as well.

Yes I picked the correct visa type on my application form, but would I need to send original supporting document s to Sheffield? since they were returned to me. Thank you very much
