Dear @Lexusgs430

1)Please am a little confused about applicants after biometrics send have to send original supporting document to Sheffield UK. What i saw on TLS website is that all supporting document will be scanned to UKVI.

2)My bank statement cannot meet up with the maintenance cost but is it sufficient if i use my workplace cooperative society statement with sufficient statement together with my partners COS and the employer ticked "Y" for both her maintenance and dependant.

I need guidance on this.

(1) You only submit your passport and receipt of payment in Lagos (assuming that is your local office). In some cases about 3 or 4 documents are usually requested in Lagos (marriage certificate, ielts certificate, biodata page of sponsor)

The other documents gets submitted in the UK (Sheffield). Real original documents ......... Not scanned copies .......

Lexusgs430:



2) What would you say your yearly wage is ? And how much do you have in joint savings ? Do you have any kids ?

Sammiejokes:


I earn in the range of 2.5M annually, but i do not save on my personal bank account, my savings are with the cooperative society in my work place and i have 1M closing balance. We dont have children yet.

Lexusgs430:


How much does your sponsor earn ?

Sammiejokes:


I earn in the range of 2.5M annually, but i do not use my personal bank account for saving, my saving is with the cooperative society in my work place and i have 1M closing fund balance. We dont have children yet.

Sammiejokes:


We are travelling together, her employer gave her a Certificate of sponsorship with earning worth 32,000 pounds with 1 month accommodation sorted. on the certificate of sponsorship the employer marked YES to help cater for the maintenance cost.

Your partner is currently fully resident in Nigeria ?

Sammiejokes:


yes she is here but she just want us to go together same time but have been trying to tell her to go first. we just got married and she no want the distance at all.

Lexusgs430:


My personal advice, would be easier for her to travel first. Gets all sorted and you join her in about 10/12 months time ......... She can still visit in the interim periods (to ensure ekeate is not setting light to your wood)...........

For EEA family permit (which is a 6month multiple-entry permit) originals will be scanned during your biometrics but for settlement visa you'll be required to send your originals to the homeoffice in Sheffield just as lexusgs430 has stated.

Lexusgs430:


My previous advice was based on the fact that, I thought she was a British Subject residing in Nigeria ....


Let's tear all the previous handouts and restart..... (I thought you came for the Lecture in Economics, but you attended the Home Economics lecture )...............

Sammiejokes:

Most of the discussion is on visiting visa, i think i asked a ? on that thread and i was directed to this thread. Seems there is no thread for skilled worker migration to Uk.
