Just wanted to inform the house that I've been given UK Visa with less than six months validity on my Passport. Thank you all for your help, I'm grateful to all the contributors of the thread.

xto4:
hello did you just checked it now? Where did you submitted your application? I submitted mine at vi since on the 6th of June and yet haven't hear from them now is 24 working days now and is a visitor visa application

cookies:
Mine is also a visitor visa renewal though. Biometrics was done at Abuja collection center on June 20, received at Sheffield July 3rd, then I tracked it today on the home office website and noticed it was decided since July 6 and I have just received an email from TLScontact as well. That's a total of 12 working days.

xto4:
give me the website you used to track it please

Hello @cookies, Please did you pay for priority? It took too long to get to UKVI but was promptly attended to. Was it standard or priority please? Thank you.

daddysgal2015:

sandraa:

Hello guys,
Please is there any difference between the Ikeja and Victoria Island Visa Application Centre?
I saw in the website that there is an additional charge to use the VI centre. Please how much is this charge and what is it for?
I intend to come into Lagos on the day of my appointment and if possible leave same day, so I will like the more convenient option (though cost is a consideration too.)

Thanks guys

ekpotek:

VI is user pay centre. So you pay to use it, whereas ikeja centre is free. The cost will be added to your application fee when you choose VI centre online.

Kpele, I went thru this same stress but relax. I eventually used paga cos all the people that tried helping me with dollar cards were having difficulty. I called the paga customer care and upgraded my account by scanning some documents to them (proof of location, BVN and some other security questions) and I conveniently made payment. It's a safe way to make payment if you don't have a dollar account. Just keep calling their support line.

All the best.

Castalia:
Thanks Ekpotek and others
Please what is the exact cost this extra service? What exactly is being paid for?
Is it paid per person (we are 3)
And is there any REAL difference in any of the centres - e.g Speed of Visa, time at application centre etc?

Thanks ooo

@Sandraa,
I learn't GTB has increased their monthly limit on debit Naira Mastercard from $100 to $1000 monthly, effective from 10th of July. It means you can pay for your visa with GTB Naira Mastercard. Mind you someone told me he transacted yesterday and was charged N375/$1

ekpotek:

Exact cost? Check on the TLS website for that
What exactly is being paid for? Nothing. That is their policy and can be review at any time.
Is it paid per person? Yes
Diferrences? Yes. The queue will be fewer at VI, submission can be completed within 15 minutes, beside you easily get an appoinment date to submit at VI. At Ikeja the place is like a crowd!!

sandraa:


Thank you dear,

i have finally called them and sent the documents to them..... i hope they answer me on time so i can pay.
the lady said they charge in CBN rate?
is it true?
and can i make 3 visa fee payment at a go?

sandraa:


This information is not correct. I went to gtb today to ask their foreign exchange desk.
I don't know where this info came from. I did not get any mail from gtb as I use their bank..... or the guy working there does not know no
@ Sandra,

The information is correct. I have confirmed and attached the mail from GTB

ekpotek:


If you live close to the TLS, I will suggest that you visit them with your collection slip. If your passport is no there, Go to nearest the British High Commission. Buying a ticket just a week to departure will be too expensive. Anyway, that the price you will have to pay.

HunkyPumpin:

I submitted the application on 31st May, 2017 and the TLS center is VI.

senn:
