You don’t receive decision email when it’s positive. Just go and collect your passport mate

You do make a lot of false assertions .. i pray ppl are sensitive not to follow alll the fake/wrong info you put out

Haha.... nobody will send u mail that ur visa is successful before they say it’s up for collection.�� No cap

I stand to be corrected ......at least until 2019 before brexit lol

Bro, I don’t think you are correct. In some cases, (few) applicants do not receive decision mail which I feel it’s due to error from the VO or DMC.
But in most cases, applicants receive decision mail. Though the decision mail will not tell you that your visa application was successful or refused. It will just come with your application number and to notify you that a decision had been made on your application. However, if a refusal mail does not follow the decision email, it’s 90% certain that your visa application is successful (this is one way people prepare for their travels even before collection mails). But if it’s not, just few minutes after decision mail, you will get the refusal email as well.
I hope this is clear.

I need to look over my shoulder for you in this forum haha..... that’s exactly what decision email means except u knw what else it means tell us

Bro, I am in the UK and I have families (siblings) in the UK too. I can as well post my decision Mail and that of my siblings. Please see below:

Dear Xxxxxx,

REF: GWFXXXXXXX4

Please be advised that a decision was made on your visa application today. Your documents and visa decision will now be returned by commercial courier to the visa application centre where you applied (unless you paid for the courier fee in which case it will be returned directly to you). This can take a few days and be subject to unforeseen delays so please wait for the visa application centre to advise you when your documents and decision are ready for collection.


Regards,
UKVI Pretoria

After this comes a collection mail:

Dear Applicant,

Reference: GWFXXXXXXXXX
[b][/b]
Your passport is now ready for collection at the TLScontact UK Visa Application Centre. You can collect your documents in person or by a representative.

Collection in person

Please provide following:

Your Application Checklist;
Your Original Photographic ID;
Copy of Your Photographic ID;
Copy of birth certificate (if collecting for a minor)*.


So if the first email is not a decision mail, please what is it called?

Thanks

not yet

Hello people,
My brother applied for 6 months visa with his family in V.I and he kept his passport with him because he works in Liberia. Now he has gotten a mail to submit his passport. My question now is:
Does he have to submit his passport to the TLS in Lagos and does he have to do so in person or can he send his passport through courier?

Thank you

Greetings All.

Just to give you my own experience.

I live in Paris. My mum came to visit me from Nigeria so she had Schenghen visa on her Nigerian passport.
I decided to apply for a UK visa for me and for her from Paris TLS.
I submitted my documents as sponsor for myself and for my mum.
I applied on June 6 and we got our visas on July 4.

Best regards to all.

I kept my mum's passport and when she got the message, I went with her and submitted it.
From my observation, it didn't matter if it was her or me that came with the passport because, it's only to drop the passport.
Your brother will receive another email informing him that his passport is ready (probably the next working day).
However, he'll have to go collect it himself or send someone (with letter of authority + ID Card; the form will be in the email sent).
But if he paid for courrier, then I believe they'll just post it to him.

VI, self upload.
It was really there headache, hence my not sending a paid mail or anything, there was no reason to renew a 10yrs visa for 2months, but we cant complain�‍♀️

Well.. i asked that question because your current visa application will be linked to your previous applications, so apart from meeting all the requirements you also need to declare those previous refusals and address them.

Can someone please help me understand and check if this is right

We are applying for 3 children to join father in the UK
We paid the IHS for the 1st child lastweek and was quoted $900
And now I’ve come to finish the rest, the other children IHS has been quoted for $1470 each
I’m wondering what changed in a week as it’s same info for parent i have put in

The father’s brp was given in Jan 2022 to end Aug 2024
So between now and Aug 2024, is abt 2yrs and 1month left

So the $900 seems more appropriate or am i wrong please

Please experts help me understand o

Thank you
