OBYNOWEST12:
Will they charge you certain amount When contacting them through email.

No, it's absolutely free to contact TLS through their contact page.

Good day to everyone, I got a refusal email today and I don't understand it much. Can anyone explain to me

Just to understand something. If your employers were sponsoring you, did you attach their bank statements? Any letter corroborating that from your HR department attached?

Isn't it contradictory that you also plan to 3k pounds on an all expense paid trip?

Hello house please i have several questions that i need answered for a friend who's looking to travel with her husband and 3 kids for the coming Easter holiday 2021. She doesn't want to use an agent and came to me for help but my problem is that when i applied in 2018 for a UK visa, i applied as a single so i don't really know how to assist her with their family visa applications.
Q1.. Are their applications supposed to be filled individually or is there a link for dependents.
Q2.. I f her husband chooses to pay for prime time appointment, assisted service and express courier does he have to pay for all 5? (their oldest is about 11 years) I remember reading here where it was suggested to a lady who couldn't book for her 6 months old son to take her son along with her to the TLS centre and explain to them there. Can they do the same?
Q3.. I suggested to my friend who is a seamstress to include her statement of account and if possible her business lease agreement and also her children's school fees receipts, school admission letters in addition to her children's birth certificates, i hope i advised right?
Q4..Do airlines do reduced airfares for kids cos i looked at ticket fares for 2021 easter period and they charged kids same as adults and the prices are not Happy Hour oo!!! lol!
Q5..Is 2,140,000 too much for a family of 5 to spend on a family trip to London for a week.(they have no invite, they'll book accommodation throughout their entire stay. (one week). Her Husband has a good job and hes been at it for about 8 years now.
I know I'm asking a lot of questions but id appreciate it if i get authentic answers so as to assist her properly.

Thanks in anticipation

Hey people! Back again cos I’m about to start freaking out. So I called UKVI this morning to ask if there’s any reason my application is taking so long (today being the 17th working day) and they told me a decision has already been made on my application and that my passport is back with TLS contact. However I never received any email apart from the one they sent when they said they’ve received my documents. And I’m not sure why TLS hasn’t emailed me about my passport. I paid for courier service so they’ll bring it to me. My question now is:

has anyone experienced this before and should I be expecting a refusal letter with my passport?

Is there a number for TLS?

Pls may I know if u have been tracking your application online via TLS app? Want to know the stage the app is indicating currently... Thanks and I pray it works out fine for u IJN.. Amen

Sorry about ur refusal.
What I got out of the refusal.
1. U intended to spend 3k pounds on a holiday when ur disposable income is 491k naira. Red flag number 1 . Keep ur expenditure at maximum two times of ur dispensable income. In essence this means ur travel budget shud have been maximum 982k naira
2. Were u paying urself a fixed salary monthly as u presented urself to be self employed?
3. They also had issues with the multiple credits in ur personal account of which was not ur acclaimed salary neither did you show proofs of who and how these deposits came about. In a nutshell, ECO was convinced u used those monies to inflate ur account.
4. Lastly the acct statement u presented had roughly an equivalent of 4k pounds in it and u budgeted to spend 3k pounds for holiday. ECO is probably thinking why would u go and spend all ur money on holiday and have such little balance to return to. This means this person is not genuine.. ur intention was doubted.
My thoughts.

Q1.
Every one would fill out separate applications and each will pay visa fees. However to show a link between the applications, in each form they wud be asked if traveling with anyone. Fill out the names of other family members in such a section

Q4. Airlines do reduced fares for kids so make sure you are choosing the space relevant to their ages. Either as child or infant traveller. However some would simply tag all children 12 and above as adults and hence charge adult fares. In summary, this differs from airline to airline

Who is sponsoring the trip?

anybody coming into Uk should endeavor to do the compulsory 14 days quarantine.

whether they call or check u up is not ur problem.

I have just finished 14 days quarantine and nobody called me to ask if am indoor.

yesterday, a student was decieved by his friends to go out only for the police to check him up at home and was not found.

he is awaiting deportation and he has being banned from UK for 3 years.

Another person was called and she did not picked the calls, she was checked up at home and she was so lucky she was home.

if u have ears hear o. no let anybody decieved u.
one of my friend too told me quarantine does not matter but I had ears and I listen.

Thanks so much for your input, it makes a lot if sense to me now.
First I made a mistake by taking a friend's advise who suggested I play down on my income. I make close to twice what I quoted. Unfortunately he was not sensible enough to advise I play down my intended expenditure too.
Secondly the large deposit that was mentioned occurred sometime in April when I moved cash into my Gt account from my access account for a business transaction . Both are my business account and they carry the same name but I only tendered one of my business account because I felt it will be sufficient. I hope to address all the issues when I reapply next year. But for now I rest my case. Thanks once again for your help

Did you provide tax clearance certificates?

Chijiuba:
Greetings to everyone in the house, in early march I was denied UK visitors visa due to unexplained funds in my account, which the gurus in the house pointed it out and adviced I keep my account clean with my salary been the only credit, which I decided to embark on and resubmit this early November. But now I need your advice on what to do I the following situation.

NB: My salary normally comes in 2 parts (a smaller part, and then a larger part).

At first
1. I printed my statement from may 1st to 27th October, but due to the pandemic the first part of my salary (the smaller part) was paid on 25th april, while the larger part was paid 10th of may
And on 25th of that same may I recieved the 2 legs of my salary for may on the same day (which is how is normally is) but now do I need to explain to them that the salary paid on that 10th is due to the covid19 issue.

Explain your salary structure in your application and in your cover letter. Do the math and explain it clearly. 1st leg + 2nd leg=October salary, do same for each of the months affected. State clearly that covid-19 affected your company's operations hence the cash crunch that led to payment of your salary twice.

Hello guys. Has anyone travelled with Emirates recently? Did you have to present a covid test certificate at the airport?

Please I like to ask a quick question. If I decide to set aside maybe a sum of 300k montly into one of my savings account. Not a salary per say just solely for my vacation for the next 6 months. No addition nor subtraction just that amount from my business account monthly. Can this be used to apply because don't want to use my business account again if possible.

Yes they charge if you email them or at least that’s what they said. I called them cos I didn’t have the patience to wait for 2 days for a reply. They charged me about 60p I think per minute for the call.

OBYNOWEST12:
Will they charge you certain amount When contacting them through email.

Thank you!

Congratulations in advance!

It says they have delivered my passport. Although I haven’t received it

I picked my two years visits visa, six months for my 21 years old undergraduate daughter and thirteen years old sec school daughter six months visa today.

It takes 12 days to process. We submitted and did biometrics on the 14th October.

I pray for everyone of you trusting God for approvals, you will celebrate too soon in Jesus name.

Hello everyone, please I need your professional advice on this.
My cousin applied for a tier 4 Uk visa but was refused based on the fact that her brother submitted a fake bank statement on her behalf and she has been refused under 320 A . I will like to know if she can reapply and kindly share if you’ve experienced such before and was able to get your visa approved

A refusal under 320(7a) triggers a ban. Reapplying means an automatic refusal and is accompanied by notice of a 10-year ban if not included in the 1st application refused on that grounds.

@mimilyrics kindly go through the rules please, maybe something positive might turn up. From what I can deduce 320 7B comes in play if you’re unable to prove that you’re innocent
