I am a bit confused:

'Your parent' as you wrote here, is that in reference to you deji2009 as the father of your daughter or is that your own parents as the grandparents of your daughter.

If it refers to you then none of them is correct for you because if you got your British citizenship by naturalisation then you are British otherwise than by descent so you can't pick any of those options.

Just out of curiosity, you said you are applying for British citizenship for your daughter but since you are British by naturalisation, why not apply for her British passport straight away.


Do you know what I meant to do was to apply for her British passport online, I just confused myself. You're right!

Thank you for using the HM Passport Office online application service. You have successfully created an
account for your passport application. I will complete it when she arrives

Thanks alots for answering my questions. Take care guys and good luck to those waiting for the visa cheesy cheesy cheesy

Congratulations........ Now you can nurse in peace........

I am getting ready to apply for British Citizen for my daughter when she arrives in 2 weeks time
and wondered if anyone can break this down for me. I was born in Nigeria and gained British
through naturalisation years back. My parents were born in Nigeria and British if that helps to
answer my question. Thanks


"Your parent is British by descent and lived in the UK or a British Overseas territory for at least 3 years before you were born

"Your parent is British by descent and you and your parents (unless they are legally separated) are now living in the UK or a British Overseas territory

She is very busy ? Does she want you in the UK with her or not ?

Would she also be too busy to send the documents to Sheffield?

So she would send all the documents to you in Nigeria, and you would post all the documents back to Sheffield?

You only submit receipt of payment and your passport in Nigeria, all other documents are sent to the UK ......

Is she funding this application or you are fully funding it ?

My point is, it's best both of you put in the effort to achieve a positive outcome.......

Are you using normal or priority visa?


And yes, you can book a flight (only after you have received the visa)....

As a nurse with heavy workload, I have had to work less hours 3 days before and prior to that to ensure
we complete the process together. Just be organised and commit time to it. Dont do it with one hand.

You’ll send all you have after biometrics to your wife and she’ll add the rest and send everything to Sheffield.
If she says she’s busy, she’ll have to send what she has with her and you’ll post to Sheffield yourself.

As a nurse I've had to work less 3 days before applying to have time to pay attention to details
and send everything all at once. My wife documents was DHL from Lagos for N20K and received it within 3 days.
Both of you needs to be organised. If you're not using priority expect Jan-Feb reply.

Just like my son and I as well. My two year old’s IHS was £0 at the initial stage. On 14 WD they sent an email with a link to pay for him which my husband paid. We are on 53WD Standard. I just pray it doesn’t take forever seeing that other people have been waiting for a while.

Priority or non-priority ?

Please can u share your timeline from the application day.

Sorry, I had to quote you to post my message.
I applied for a spouse visa with 1 dependent child of 11 months old whom was asked to pay £0 at the time of application and was given IHS ref number which was submitted. UKVI emailed me to pay IHS fee. Any experience? Looks like they’re be granted their visa. Both priority visa deferred until I pay and contact them as instructed to further the application.

Thanks for your 2 cents, but please understand me, this isn't being done for me, it is their laid out procedure(they even have it on print)...I guess a means to cover up for the outrageous sum of N62050 they charge for the special license marriage.
After asking on this forum and finding out it makes little or no difference registering as a foreigner or Nigerian for my visa application. We decided to go for the 7days process because we don't have an extra 100k to give to anyone for no reason.

The system is flawed, the cost of a registry marriage all over Nigeria should be standardized but unfortunately, this isn't so.

I would advice you to do a proper registry wedding at a genin registry centre and have your certificate. If possible

also have a church wedding with your certificte. I've submitted my priority spouse visa application with
an 11 months old daughter not long ago. We also included Affidavit, Punch Newspaper public announcement of
my wife's change of name Dec 2015 of name.I was a student studing nursing at the time as a British Citizen and
we had to be patient and now I am in full time employment earning close to £30k per annum.

We had spent close to £7k for the spouse visa and wedding cost excluding wife and daughter's allowance of which
the evidence was also provided. Your relationship needs to develop or have a child and provide evidence are ways to
suggest that you're in a geuine relationship. If I were you, I will ignore DSS. Moreover, wiki is not a reliable website for information to
do with your life. Simply call or email UKVI for information. I spent close to £20 on phone calls and emails. Dont assume anything.
Dont forget your English requirement, wife's UK NARIC was C1 which is above the requirement. The UK is a financial hub and want our money at all cost. I was reluctant to type these, however, I had to because others
also took their time out to type when I needed help.


Good luck to both of us !

Hello Deji,

The VAF4A form is the same as the online form you filled. The hard copy is designed for countries like North Korea. Just print the online form out, sign where necessary and submit it instead of the VAF4A form

You only have to PRINT, FILL AND SUBMIT the appendix 2 form and I believe the SUO7 form.

Good-luck with your application.


Hello Minnienellie24 ,

I thought as much, however, the online form did not stated if it was VAF4A we are filling. I saw "
Family settlement application form VAF4A (for North Korea only)
PDF, 1.19MB, 1 page This file may not be suitable for users of assistive technology. Request an accessible format.


Okay, so the VAF4A is the same as the one we have just filled online ? I see, the information on the VAF4A seems to
be the same on the online application form. I will now destroy the VAF4A form.

We will print the online application forms sign and date them. Would I include the Appedix 2 financial rquirement which
I had already filled ? I had also filled the sponsorship undertaking form last week and signed it. Visa, IHS and
priority fees paid and confirmations printed out. TLS biometric is the 28 of this month. Thanks for taking the time out to
reply.

Hello guys,

Where on TLS website should I click to buy priority service as this option was not
available during application. We've paid visa fees and IHS and remains priority.
All email confirmed. Just the priority fee.


Also, I take it that the form Personal details form (VAF4A)
and Appendix 2 would have been completed or do we fill
these forms in separately ?

I have got these forms and will just fill them
to be on the safe side.

I've found the option for priority on TLS, thanks.

You proof the child is yours by your name being on the birth certificate. You also have to submit pictures of you with the child and your wife since the child's birth

We’re more than providing DNA test, this isn’t applicable to us. There are some people that needs to provide that, certainly not us. Secondly,
my dad a doctor and jnr bro a doctor both wrote
support letters to confirm everything. Moreover ,
as a nurse in the UK that follows
NMC code of conducts I don’t think I’ll
put my life long job for survival on the line
by misleading them. Don’t get me wrong I know
you’re helping I’m just saying my bits for you
to know. The UKVI replied to my mail and said
that she’s eligible for a British visa.

The only way would be for it to be delivered to the
person’s address. No matter what you say
to make easier the HPO also advised the same
and they can’t post it to me in the UK nor Brit embassy for pickup. We have affidavits, registry
certificate, punch newspapers change of name,
wedding IV, pictures with dates and descriptions at
the back. Relationship pics, TB test, Naric English
ass and comparability with her Abuad degree cert
with letter of proficiency. Daughter and wife birth certificate, 3 bedroom house, and many more.


I’m replying to this post to help others here. Don’t assume anything, find out first. Had we not assume that she would get a Brit passport last year she would gotten her Brit passport by now.
Thanks to everyone inputs. I’ll update you when they both arrive.

Update and to help others on the way

I phoned the passport centre and was advised that she would be eligible for a British passport in Nigeria or when she arrives in the UK if we pay the £2000. In addition, I was also advised that once she get her British passport she can come to the UK without no hassle just like citizens travel anywhere in the world. What a relief ! I will stick to this option rather than pay 1 million naira for their application for my wife to bring her along. I was also advised to speak to home office regarding if she would have to pay her own fees when my wife is applying. I have emailed UKVI for information regarding that as I don't want to call them, they're often used delay tactics to keep you on the phone and will end up paying more consultation fee from your bank. I have paid the usual £5 or so for their email and expect reply within 2 days. The reply from home office would determine if they confirm she would pay £2000 including NHS surcharge

https://www.gov.uk/overseas-passports
Use that link. You will answer some questions and it will give you guidance form, application form and list of supporting documents. It's like spouse. Visa. Your wife will send original documents to you and you will send it to Durham. They only take original documents. Your wife will fill the form on behalf of your child and get someone to countersign one of the child's passport. The passport should be countersigned by someone with a professional job that is not a relative that hold either a uk or Irish passport, EU passport, common wealth passport or US passport. However the application will be faster if the person that countersigns has a Uk or Irish passport. The person must have known your wife for at least 2 years. The person doesn't have to know the child but the person must be able to identify that's the child.
The identity documents needed will be your wife showing proof of address however you will have to submit your child's nigerian passport, birth certificate, immunisation card, your uk passport,your neutralisation certificate, your wife and yours birth certificate and your wife's Nigerian passport as well. You will provide all these as well as 3 identity documents which will be your wife's identity documents. Everything has to be original. Photocopies and laminated documents are not accepted. They will sent the passport to your wife via DHL and supporting documents as well.
Good luck

Thanks Ibkbosson, this was exactly we did last year until we decided that she can get a British
citizen when she arrives and that we wont have her visa fee since she is 11 months. We later
abandoned it. Given what you've advised, I will also email home office and pay the usual
email cost and contact the website you gave me to clarify and we base our decision on this.

Thank you for taking the time out to reply. I appreciate.

As long as you are British citizen your child get the passport. My son was 3 months when I applied for his passport and he got it in 7 weeks. Don't waste £2000 on visa. If you don't want to wait for passport apply for right to abode in the child's Nigerian passport. It's the same things as getting a British passport

Could you tell me how to go about it please. I thought about that as well. The whole thing is
very confusing. Please note, I am a British by naturalisation. How long ago did you applied
for your son ROA. Did you picked up the ROA in the UK or in Nigeria ?

Like I said earlier, I did not receive any email saying my documents were received either and same for a lot of people here I presumed.

The best way to guarantee peace of mind when delivering to UKBA is to:
1. Use a "trackable & signed for" delivery service. That way you can track the delivery and have a recorded signature of the recipient.


2. Be sure you use the right delivery address, I used:
UK Visas and Immigration, International
PO Box 3468
Sheffield
United Kingdom
S3 8WA


If you have these two points checked, then you should be fine. All the best.

Do I include the whole online application form with the supporting documents to Sheffield ?
