The 909 pounds is enough for your trip, make your trip 10days, your brother shouldn’t sponsor you with money, only use him for the accommodation section.

After successfully paying for Assisted Services on TLS Website and I got a notification that Payment succesful, the page redirected me back to to TLS Website and i saw an error "Unable to validate order"

Meanwhile TLS updated their site yesterday and removed self service from the option due to several complains.

Please what do i need to do for the Unable to valide order.


Also, How can i link my daugther's application to her mum that she's applying with.


My daughter is 2years old. i'm filling her own application. (what do i write in amount she earns (its not accepting NGN 0 or GBP 0)) .
Also amount budget for the trip. I put same details i filled for my self there. (Is this correct?)
Lastly, My brother is an EU/ EEA resident permit holder which means he is my daughter's uncle but[b] ( see 2nd attached)[/b] no uncle in the option of relation in the UK. What can i fill

I know somebody affected by this issue of unable to validate order too. How did you resolve it?

Good day all.Submitted and did biometrics on 28th Aug. Received mail from TLS same day informing my application has been transferred to UKVI.Received mail from UKHUBVisainfo that my application has been concluded on 17th Sept. Still awaiting mail from TLS for pickup. Is this normal? Mail from UKHUB is specific about waiting for mail from commercial partner which is TLS before collection

pls all d Gurus in the house pls look into dis application before I submit if am on a good track, anywhere I need correction pls do tell me my salary is 230k.. my living cost is 50k..income given to family members is 10k..... total cost personally for d trip is 900 pounds. the cost of aeroplane is 223,405. cost of accommodation is my brother..cost of living expenes 1000 pounds(my brother want to support on dat) how much will be paying towards your trip 1000 pounds ( the money my brother want to support me with) the total amount in Gbp 1,900 pounds ( my personal cost and my brother cost) please all do help me recheck if I can go ahead and submit...waiting for reply.....Thank u all..thank u

How long do you plan to spend in the UK? £1,000 is high for cost of living; since your brother will accommodate you, won't his support come in form of feeding as well? If his support will come in form of feeding as well, why would you spend £1,000 on living expenses?

What I think:
1. Specify the number of days you'll spend.
2. Find a daily expense figure that takes your brother's support (accommodation, feeding) into consideration.
3. Multiply by the number of days.

Yes, and that's because some companies here in Nigeria don't pay leave allowance

I meant "if" is a conditionality & it wasn't specified by the individual who asked, so it's supposed his girlfriend won't get any leave allowance.

If he updates the information he provided with a "leave allowance" heads up, then that's a different ball game entirely - if the amount isn't NGN100,000 or lesser.

Hello House

Please for those who used self service at tls VI, do I upload my document checklist on the website before I go for my appointment or do I take it along with me to the appointment?

I'm asking because it says on the form that I shouldn't sign it before my appointment but on the appointment confirmation email sent to me by TLS the checklist is not listed as one of the documents I should bring along for TLS

Thanks for your help

Hello all

Please does anyone have an answer to this?

Please all..
whenever your passport gets to TLS they will contact you..
several people have written how sometimes their passports took up to 2 or 3 months to get back to them.
Nobody is yet to report a case of missing passport on this thread so y’all shud hold on
Stop undue panic.
Worst case, send them an email to complaints@homeoffice.gov.uk
Blessings.

You can choose Other for the relationship
For your daughter's budget, try and estimate how much her ticket will cost and put it. You can put 1 in the budget for accommodation for her if it will not accept 0 (same with how much she earns) Then you explain in the cover letter


I have not resolve the "unable to validate order" Sent a mail to TLS and yet to get a response

Please advice how to resolve this

I do have travel history but have not gone anywhere in 4 years.

I submitted basic stuff (Acct print out, employment letter, letter of introduction from employer, hotel booking and the TLS print out)

It is important I point out myself, wife and son all applied to go on vacation and we do not have the passports back since 8th August. I am the sole sponsor

Not sure about the uploading aspect but if it won't hurt your application to do so, why not upload it? Also, go with the checklist for your visa appointment because you do have to sign it there.

Good luck.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by luvlaja80: 4:07pm On Sep 23, 2019

Good day wonderful people.
I was denied a tourist visa in 2017,i re-applied this year on the 17th of May with a balance of one million, five hundred and fifty thousand naira.
Travel budget 693k
Salary 325k
Biometrics 17th of May, 2019.
I got a mail that my application has been received, uptil now, no email from UKVI, I've called and sent emails.
Nb : my documents are legit, even asked my office if they've received any call or email from UKVI and they said NO.
Is anyone going through the same? This is becoming tiring.

Anyone with any idea of what I can do?
I've called and sent emails.

That person has found a way around it. I think the normal.procedure is for you to pay the 10k for the assisted service on the day of your appointment at the venue. So it's a system error that redirected her to the payment page, the money will most likely be refunded.
She simply chose that very time again and she got a mail that she is to bring the 10k to her appointment with a copy of that mail.
That way, if her money isn't refunded, she ll just tell them at her appointment so she may not need to pay the 10k cash again.
Try it that way and let's see

Making those recommended changes right away..

Apart from Booking.com where else can i get to book cheaper hotels, the intended travel period is in November ending?

What date of arrival would my UK application carry in this below case? Date of departure from Lagos with layover in Dubai or date finally arrived in UK, bit confused with the date to use now really since I plan to cut the number of days to 9 days




giselle237:
what currencies are these? And your hotel budget is much..
Miscellaneous, sight seeing, intra city transport budget are not compulsory to be mapped out... you can sum it up in one and write a lesser amount
redo your budget using 400000-180000... which is 220k x 2
Ur safe budget shudnt be more than twice ur disposable income.
My advice

Reduce your disposable income,
Look for a cheap hotel or hostel
Reduce trip to 6-9 days
Finally reduce total budget using disposable income x 2 as your yardstick

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by buddie(m): 8:54pm On Sep 23, 2019
But since the leave allowance isnt started in the application, it is better to stick with the 2 times disposable income rule jeje.

Thanks to you guru in the house

dilodavid:
If the applicant is entitled to a reasonable leave allowance, the budget is fine. With the leave allowance, only a small part of the monthly disposable income will be added to the trip budget and you will realize that the budget is just fine.
