Oh I see we didn't fill that form. Didn't even see it it to fill but my hubby had an introduction letter written. I assume that is okay too. I pray not filling out the sponsorship form wouldnt in anyway affect my application. Hoping for the best.
When did you apply?

newbie715:



Hiya,

I think Portsmouth86 is referring to the enquiry yjb85 made about sponsorship declaration form.

@yjb85, like Portsmouth86 said, I doubt it's necessary but I filled it out for my application as well.

All the best.

Portsmouth86:


Yes this is what i meant, as yjb85 queried.

It's not necessary however I've chosen to add it to mine, after reading that some visa centres look out for it even if its a spouse visa, I am covering all grounds where possible lool

The form is called a Sponsorship undertaking form SU07/12

newbie715:



Don't worry if you didn't fill it, I reckon it's 'over sabi'. I applied in June got the visa in August.

babyisUS:


Wow! Congratulations.
LMAO @oversabi... well,no-one wants to give room for any loopholes. My fingers are still crossed.
So you are in the UK now?

babyisUS:


Okay.you did well by adding it.i would have done same, had I seen it while applying. I have applied and submitted. Now waiting for their decision. Praying it comes good. I applied on the 2nd of November. I wish you the best.

Portsmouth86:


how long have you been waiting now? were applying today just about to finish my 6th night shift doubt ill be able to sleep haha

good luck

babyisUS:


Hahaha, no sleep until I have my visa!
I applied on Monday, 2nd of November. Am joining hubby in the UK. I was called on the phone for a brief interview, hubby as well, ... so we are waiting for their decision. Hubby is in Nigeria at the moment, but we are heading to the airport right about now for his flight back to the UK.
Can't wait to join him soon.

Portsmouth86:


Bless hope it won't be long

We have submitted the application and I've paid for both visa and NHS fees registered on TLS.

Hubby has his appointment on 13th that's his next day off work

@newbie715, @babyisUS
After you submitted your application how long till the tracking on TLS showed green on the application submitted line?

Just happy it's finally happening lol

newbie715:


@Portsmouth86

I never tracked it on TLS, I relied on the emails from TLS and Sheffield. So I cannot say how long it takes to turn green. Truth is, I didn't even know anything turned green anywhere

Glad your process has started fingers and toes crossed

@Portsmouth86, the very day I went for my Biometrics I got two emails from TLS, the first two thingy turned green. First mail said my application has been received....second mail said my application was on its way to UKVI...The following day, 3rd of November, got another mail saying my application has been received by UkVI.
On the 4th I got a call from them for a short interview..hubby was also called same day.
I think mine was that fast cos it's an EEA family permit visa I applied for. No NHS nor visa fee.

hi all

any help ,will be greatly appreciated

application is completed online, my husband has his biometrics on Friday this week.

1. the appendix 2 form who sends this, me or my husband? I did fill one out and left it with him luckily when i was there last month.
i thought we would actually have to fill this online along with the visa application.

2. when hubby goes to his biometrics, he has his application form, and email confirmations, and payment emails for both the visa and IHS NHS fees
does the VAC send this along with his passport as on the form https://uk.tlscontact.com/ng/LGV/res/upload/ukvi-uk/West_africa-settlement.pdf it states:

You or your representative/sponsor should then send a completed application package within 2 weeks of enrolling your biometric information to:

UK Visas and Immigration,
International
PO Box 3468
Sheffield
United Kingdom
S3 8WA

This should include:
• The GWF reference provided at the time of application (eg GWF 123456789).
• One printed copy of the application form and photo.
• All additional documents supporting your application. These should include any documents originating in the UK, like evidence of maintenance and accommodation. If you want your supporting documents returned, you should send photocopies as well as the original documents. We will not return documents if they have not been photocopied.
• A stamped, self addressed envelope or prepaid return self addressed courier envelope to return any original UK documents.

3.Do I as his sponsor in the UK need to add a copy of his application form to my own documents that i am posting to Sheffield

Sorry just getting a bit confused lol

thank you in advance

Oreskid:
@ Rury29, nope, since she didn't stay more than six months

newbie715:



Hi Karen,

1. No, you don't fill out the appendix 2 form online, it's a hard copy

2. He will submit both the printed online filled out application form and the appendix 2 hand filled out form when he goes for biometrics. As well as the TB test certificate. I didn't do the English test so I don't know where that is submitted.

3. My hubby added a copy of the application form when he was sending supporting documents to Sheffield and a copy of the TB test certificate but he didn't send the appendix 2 form again. You can add it if it makes you more comfortable.

I hope this helps.

Cheers

Portsmouth86:


sorry another Q haha

Do i need to post my own passport with my supporting documents, or is my data page enough, i have scanned both my old and new one along with all 3 Nigerian visit visas I've had, I'm posting once hubby has done his biometrics on Friday, or do you think i should wait like 3 days to allow his to reach them around the same time (wishful thinking lol)

Thank you in advance x

newbie715:

Oreskid is right on all counts. Your passport stays with you and same day postage is a good plan.
Fingers crossed

Oreskid:
Don't send ur original passport but u can make photocopy of ur passport with the data page and all the visa in it and also the entry stamp to Nigeria. Also u can send ur supporting documents the same day ur hubby went for biometric cos biometric gets to Sheffield second day it was taken and also urs will get there around the same time.
Hope that helps and other gurus can response too

Hi @justwise

please i am a little bit confused:

1. the online application form the part where they ask family details is it my hubby details i will fill there or mine. (hubby is my sponsor)
you fill it in as your families details, i.e partner is your husband and his name etc, then your father and your mother's details, and if either of you have children

2. the financial requirement from, the part 4 am i suppose to answer it since hubby is not exempted from 18,600pounds
you leave this blank if it does not apply to you, e.g I meet the minimum salary requirements based on employment, so left parts 3B, C,D,E, F and part 4 as i only needed to fill the section relevant to me which was 3A, hope this helps, I am the sponsor but i filled hubby's form


Thank you for your quick response.

Rury29:
Hi guys!

I have a question and I hope that someone can help me.

As far as you know, how strict UK Home Office is when someone stays in the UK longer than declared in the Visa Application Form?
Basically, my wife is going to apply for a Tier 2 Dependant Visa, but on the last Visa she had (Standard Visitor) she declared she would have stayed for 5 days, but instead she stayed in the UK for a month.
Do you think UK Home Office could make any problems beacuse of this?

Thanks a lot!
