In some cases, it takes one week and in others, it takes longer.

Sometimes you don't even get it till you go to the BHC. I don't know if you can just go to the BHC now because of the Covid-19 situation.
Case in point, for one overturned refusal, the passport wasn't returned to TLS within the normal expected timescales and it was only handed over by the BDHC after 2 visits. On the 1st visit, the applicant was asked to contact UKVI by the security guys but on the 2nd visit, the applicant was allowed in after stating that Sheffield redirected to the BDHC even though it wasn't exactly stated in plain terms.

Upon receiving the passport, it showed that the visa had been issued like 2 weeks back but had expired because it had a 1-day validity; this had to be reprinted and it took roughly 1 hour.

Steelbangz:
Thank you so Much.
Would I be able to get the passport at the BHC if I go there?

Ameey:
Please do you have any idea about how one can schedule an appointment to visit British deputy high commission? It's been about 6 months since I made an application and a decision has been made with no feedback.

mimilyrics:
I'm not sure about what's obtainable during these Covid-19 times but you stand a chance. Just go with the decision to overturn your refusal + your passport photocopy and tell the security guys that Sheffield has made a decision and redirected you to the BDHC. The security guy will take your paper in to consult with whoever they need to consult with and you might be allowed to enter while you wait to collect your passport. This might or might not work on your 1st visit.

Hi guys

I need quick advise on my wife's Tier 2 dependant application.

We will be getting our Court Wedding Certificate on the 21 of this month, along with pictures of the ceremony. Is it sensible to use the certificate to apply for the Tier 2 visa on the 28th (7 days later)? Or would it be prudent to wait another week?

Why exactly are you worried about date? Except there are other reasons bothering you like if the marriage would be seen as genuine.. are u goin to be newly married or u both have been married and didnt have a wedding certificate?
If u are goin to be newly married and then next you are applying for Tier 2 visa of which this newly married spouse too will make an application as a dependent, I think the greatest onus lies on you to prove the relationship is genuine.
The key lies in your hands to submit all and more to prove the genuinety. As the close date to your application seems to be bothering you. I totally understand that.

Just make sure you submit pictures of you guys together before the wedding, chats and message,email exchange.

Wedding pic is not a priority to them...cos I know few people that got dependent Visa without filing wedding pics.
And it doesnt matter how long.

ashieduplus:


Thanks for the response.
My concern is whether the marriage would be seen as genuine. I live in the UK, while my fiancee lives in Nigeria. We have not seen each other since last year. But I have evidence that we have been on constant contact everyday.

giselle237:

Yes it will help someone! Thanks for comin back.
.. esp someone that asked just a few pages back about wanting to opt for a :2 year visa instead of 6 months after he/she cudnt travel due to covid 19.
I cnt remember the exact moniker. Congratulations!

Rerin:
Congratulations madam, can you please help people like us who are interested following same the procedure you followed such as number of days for the visit that you stated,did you add days for quarantine, reason for 2years request, budget for visitation(range ), months you choose for visit, did you state you were invited by someone or booked hotel, please assist with other relevant information. Please enlighten us how you went about it.

giselle237:

Have pictures together too. Dont wait to use only pictures from the wedding ceremony.

ashieduplus:


Sure. But most likely they'll be very recent pictures. I have 2 weeks before the wedding to take them and maybe a few afterwards.
I'll take some with several members of my family too.
It had been a long distance relationship.

Merceline:
Please I have been trying to book my visa appointment, for my son and I on that TLS contact website... But I just don't understand the site. I click and click no response. Please help.

The page to book the appointment opens and then nothing more. No guidelines too
