Maybe it's the summer rush..but try to visit the ikeja center to have an idea of the situation.

today makes it 6 weeks after applying for my visa at TLS ikeja on the 31st of may 2017 and its still not out. im really scared. on june 25th they emailed me and told me they are sorry for the inconvenience but they wont be able to make a decision within 15 days and since then i havent heard from them. please house what could be wrong and what should i do ?

Capital no, do not buy your ticket until you have your visa at hand.
sure you can request for 6 months

fpeter:
House please, is it advisable to buy a return ticket before applying for a UK visa? And can i apply for 6months even though i am due for 5yrs renewal?

Thanks.

I also know someone who submitted on the 14th of June at Ikeda but has not received a mail concerning the decision till datJust remain optimistic...remember that refusal of visa is never the end of the world but just remain optimistic.

so sorry @yispa, its the guy in the gtb bank that gave me the wrong information.
i went back in today to blast him. i also received the email today too.
please do not be offended with my response.

and you are very correct about the charge being @ 375 per 1$

sammoR:
thanks a lot. i sent someone to check n dey said its ready. dey also updated the details on my application tracker. i'll go pick it 2moro

Please what information did you give the person who went to check for you? I didn't know you can send someone to check. I don't reside in Lagos and ukvi shows that my application has been decided since on the 28th June but no update from TLS.

There have been applicants who got emails from both UKVI and TLS that a decision had been made with a follow up email about passport being for collection. There are also others whose applications were decided but they did not get any emails and they went to pick up their passports without getting emails. Your case is not exclusive.

Hello @justwise did you get my message

It is the GWF**** number generated when you made your online application. However that ref no can only be recognised when a decision has been made on your application.

Somebody to please for God's sake respond to this question. Please n please.

xto4:
I am really worried because am supposed to travel on the 5th of July to return on the 12th of July just taking a week out of my leave vacation now by Monday it will be 10th of July.. Will they still considered the fact that my intended date and period is almost over? Although even after my intended period I will still have more than 2 weeks remaining for my vacation as stated in my leave letter and letter to the embassy, hope they will consider that even if my intended date of travel has passed and intended period is almost over that won't be a problem? Ekpotek, Justwise etc what to do Na?

Thank you.

You can still get the visa even if your proposed travel date and intention for travel have passed. That would not be a yardstick for denying the visa application.
