Please I have appointment in few days.am currently on the download and print page where application details cannot be changed.i cant remember if i untick or not cos i was displace with the card payment issue before my cousin card went through.please is there anyway i could verify anywhere because am seeing premium lounge appointment must be paid for before you attend your appointment. You can do this on our visa
application centre partner's website at: https://www.gov.uk/find-a-visa-application-centre written on my document checklist.
please will i also register my details with the TLScontact after appointment for submission.

Thank you your reply will be appreciated

ekpotek:


VI center as the crowd is small, but you need to pay to use the VI center. Ikeja center is non-paying fee center but getting appointment may be difficult.

Batba1:


Thank you!

Can we scan and send the documents like bank statements and letters from our side to her rather than having to send physically?

Oluebbie:
@ekpotek thanks for the response.
I am making the application online, can I make the two applications from same account or do I need to create a seperate account with another email to make the second application

tmoneyluvsu:
How do I show prove to the eco that am Abt to receive a monthly contribution, without been accused for lump sum of cash.
Also does the fact that I'm going to apply for UK visa, stop me from using my account for normal transaction, like receive up-to 200k and above.
Thanks

Hello, I'm new here...

My mom made her visa application about a month ago. About three weeks ago, it was confirmed that her passport had gotten to Sheffield.

But she has not received any update since then. Is this normal? How many weeks does it take to get a decision and receive her visa?

MiracleMum:
My passport will expire in December this year, can i apply for a tourist uk visa now?

ekpotek:


Hi there is a general backlog of visit visa application pending for a decision. You just have to be patient or contact home office at their website to know the status of the application.

GodandVal:
@Ekpotek please check my post, thank you.

ekpotek:


No. Your passport will be least than six months validity required for a tourist visa. Get a new one.

MiracleMum:


Okay, thank you. I'm to apply alongside my husband and my infant daughter. He has an expired Schengen visa and has been to the UK, Spain, and Greece once. But recently he was denied a US visa with the reason that he's now married and shouldn't go on vacation alone. So now he wants us to go as a family, he earns above 400k while i earn above 200k (he is our sponsor). I and my daughter's passports are virgin, do you think we'd have a good shot at it.

Brightingsus:



Huh...

You can't send any scanned anything, that's automatic refusal. You need to send physical hard copy documents like bank statements and letters, etc to the applicant to submit alongside other documents to the applicant's appointment. You can only send certified documents like the sponsor's passport. For the records, certified means making a copy of the original and getting a solicitor to sign on the copy saying the copy is genuine (or whatever wording they use)

ekpotek:


Yes. You can scan and send the documents by email and ensure that the applicant print it out using a color laser printer on A4 paper. Documents are no longer retained by Home office as the TLS application centers are equipped with high speed scanning machine to scan all submitted documents directly to Home office. Only the applicant current passport will be collected. All documents to be submitted must be sized to A4 including photos. You do not need to certified your British passport or any passport since it's a e-passport which can be verified from any immigration office anyway in the world.

Unfortunately you just have to wait to hear from them as your case has been escalated

ekpotek:


Only the ECO can determine your chance. However since your husband have a good travel history and have been to the U.K. before, he stand a good chance of getting the visa in spite of the US visa denial. I will suggest that both of you contribute to trip and if it the visit is for vacation, do a list of places to visit, where to stay etc.

Thanks @Travelland, justwise and Ekpotek. I got my passport with visa.

Hello @Travelland, Ekpotek justwise, please I am really confused and don't know what to do. I applied for UK 6months visa on 23rd of May and received an email that the application was received the next day 24th because I paid for priority.. I was scheduled to travel on the 6th of June because the wedding is 10th of june (reason for the visa application) and since then I have not heard or receive any email... each time i track my application online it says decision not made yet... please what do I do? Can this affect my application since travel time has past.


You should contact the UK Visa customer service right away though you will be charged. You ought to have done this before the last day of May. It will not affect your application if you stated that besides the marriage, you also intend to have a holiday in the course of your visit. I also think you should visit the TLS Contact office where your application was lodge to ascertain by a long chance if your passport is ready for collection. Lately, there have been some issues with regards to transmission between the UK Visa Office and TLS Contact.

My wife and me submitted our application on the 10th of May, we picked up our passport today after 20 working days(After I contacted them twice via phone call and mail Thursday last week, I was informed a decision has been made despite there was no update on my TLS account.) We are grateful for my renewal and my wife's first visa. The visa stamp was dated 30th of May. Thus, we got back our passport after 9 days, it might have been longer if we neglected to spend the extra money to contact them. Good luck to all waiting for response and prospective applicants.

Batba1:


Thank you for you time! noted!

As a matter of fact, those documents are in black and white like the payslips with stamp from HR, the bank statements printed from the bank, and the letters.

please if you have abit of time can you point me to what documents/cases where a scanned copy of bio page of passport has been an issue.

thank you sooo much for your time. i truly appreciate it!!!

ekpotek:


The 15 working days is only advisory. As much as the home office will try to reach a decision within 15 days. Sometimes due to nature of the application there may be some delays. The 15 working days actually start counting the day you submit your document at TLS. If you have not received the decision email after 15 days, then you need to contact home office at their website for visa query.

GodandVal:



I was told just yesterday by a friend that had the same problem. She went to the embassy to complain and actually found out that the visa was issued and a decision made a week ago but they didn't send any update or notifications so I would be going there today...
