Hi all, I got an email this morning our application is about to be considered. It’s a standard application. Do i start counting from now or when we did biometrics?

Lexusgs430:


Lol... The applicant was already tired.... So I thought cancelling the application (without refund), might be a more palatable resolution......

Lexusgs430:

Hi everyone

Please I need some information if anyone can help.
I and my son was refuse settlement visa in Feb 2018, for stupid reasons. We appealed in March 2018 , I received an email 3 weeks ago from Home Office Sheffield saying that they have decided to overturn the initial refuse, they want to grant my visa but I need to withdrawal my appeal. The tribunal contacted me and requested for letter of consent for the withdrawal, which I gave. Last week I received another email from Home Office stating that the decision to refuse your visa application has been overturned and our office is now ready to issue you a UK visa, that we need pay Immgration Health Surcharge with a link , after making the payment we should take our passport along with a copy of the email sent to me by Home Office to the visa application centre where we initially made our application.
Question 1- Are we just going to walk in ?
Question 2- Is it possible for someone to Submit our passport on our behalf?
Question 3- Do we need to do another TBS test when travelling by God's grace, since the previous one is more than 6 months?
Question 4- Are we going to pay any fee for this process again at application centre?
I will really appreciate your suggestion or response. Thanks and God bless.

If i may ask why were you guys refused?
Question 2- I don’t think it is possible for your passports to be submitted on your behalf because your biometrics would be taken again.
Question 3- If the TB test duration has not expired you can still use it.
Let my ogas at the top answer further. Lol

Congratulations..... The beauty of taking the appeal gamble route, you might just be lucky to have a reconsideration....

Do as the email stated, pay your IHS fee. You submit your passport and await collection date.

TB test not required & you pay no more fees.....

Why do you want to submit by proxy? I am sure you can submit by proxy, just write a cover letter to that effect and hand over all receipts and documents to your proxy......

Priorygroup:


I stay in port Harcourt. TB test only last for six months but from information I gathered , that TB was only need with the previous application but whichever way , we will get a new TB to be on saver side.

Please do anyone know visa application centre ikeja lagos phone number?

First of all, I am happy for you on the decision to overturn your refusal, that's awesome.

On your questions, here is my take:
1. When you made the IHS payment, weren't you directed to an appointment page? If not, I will advise you take along the previous application receipt and refusal documents received from Home Office along with copies of your IHS payment confirmation and the overturn emails from Home Office. Just carry all, you will know what you need when you get there. But more importantly, take your passports.

2. Will advise you submit yourself.

3. Do not think you need to do another TB test, if it's required they would have asked for it in the email. The original TBS test certificates have been assessed during your application.

4. Do not think you have to pay for anything again. Maybe unless you want your passport couriered to you.

I am sure someone with a similar experience would respond shortly, again we are happy for you.

Once that TB cert has expired you ll need to do another to be on a safe side

oxygyne:


Ok I didnt know that!

But let me ask, what do you need this new TB test for? Is it to be submitted with the passport?
Because you definitely do not need it at immigration check when you land in the UK.

Lexusgs430:


A new TB certificate is not required, for the same application.

If OP was to file a fresh application, then validity would be put into consideration....... Hence new TB certificate would be required.....

couple of people that just arrived uk, said they did not ask them TB cert.

Good afternoon people.

Just a small question (may sound stupid though but no vex pls).

Does maintaining your maiden name passport affect your visa chances?

Thanks.

Lexusgs430:


No...... My name is for sale if you want to add it too.....

I sent someone today to the application centre to find out if someone could help me submit my documents, they said I can only submit it myself, nobody can do that on my behalf. Not sure how long it will take to get my documents back, anyone with idea?

Kakushia2:
Success!!

We applied on priority. To be honest I think priority is daylight robbery, extra 50% charge and you’re not actually guaranteed anything as UKVI can’t be held to account for the timeframe.

Here’s our timeline.

Applied: 5th May
Biometrics: 21st May
App prepared email: 1st June
Escalated @ 30 BD: 3rd July
Emailed MP for assistance: 6th July
Email saying app is in last stages: 10th July
Email saying they’re too busy for a decision: 13th July
MP emailed to say UKVI informed them we had been successful: 18th July
Decision: 18th July
Passport picked: 18th July

41 working days from bio to passport collection.

I have been waiting to hear from you!! Congratulations!! I key into this.
