Hi guys. My UK visit visa was refused yesterday.
My application was air tight - if I do say so myself.
However, the officers reason was that he checked my employers business registration online and it was inactive. I work for a company with over 250 employees
When I checked the registration website , realized that almost all companies register before 2020 were appearing as inactive. The website isn’t updated.
Please house, what can be done in this situation ?

AbbeyBidemi:

Hello! I’m in the same predicament. Please how did you go about it?? I and my husband were rejected for inactive company. Have you reapplied?

Good day my people, I am here to give back for I have learnt a lot from here.
I and my husband applied for UK Visit Visa and here is our timeline below;

--March 11th, 2022- Biometrics appointment, I did self-service by uploading all our documents online a day before.
--Hubby dropped his passport while I opt for "Keep my passport" option.
--- Hubby got a mail to pickup his passport on March 25th, 2022 while I got no message.
---March 29th,2022- I went with hubby to TLS V.I to lay a complain in respect of my Visa and the lady told me to send a Paid mail to UKVI if a decision has been made in respect of mine. I sent the mail that Morning, got a response by 1pm same day that a decision has been made, printed it out and fortunately for me, my passport was with me hence proceeded to drop both email and my passport at TLS V.I before they close by 3pm that day.
-- March 31st- I received an email to pick up by passport

Help me Praise God my people as we were issued VIsa...

Lesson Learned
1) Don't opt for "Keep my passport option" unless it is absolutely necessary and if you do, please and please be proactive to send email by 2nd-3rd week after Biometrics to find out if a decision has been made, use that email to drop your passport at the TLS center.

My advice to those still waiting for email from TLS is that the process does not take that long(this is subject to complete documentation please )as mine and husband took just about 2 weeks. You can send an email (paid of course) to UKVI to know your status of your application.

Bon Voyage and all the best my fellow Nairalanders...

You DO NOT have to pay any other fees as long as your annual returns is up to date. Once your payment has been acknowledged send an email as I have earlier stated, your account will be updated to become ACTIVE.

Mattycoke:
Congratulations, i did biometric on March 9th and it's still showing application received by DMC, It's tiring to wait.

Ray7878:


Forget the tracking update from TLS. It’s unless, they probably have your passport waiting for you there now. Send a paid email to UKVI as encourage by the poster. And they would tell you whether a decision has been made on your application or not. If a decision has been made just turn up at TLS.

Mattycoke:
Thanks, can i have a link to send the paid email?

Hello House, just a quick update. I had my friend in the UK call UKVI for me. they said a decision was made on the passport on thursday but till now no update on the tracking site. I really hope we can get the passport before wednesday coz that is the actual travel date.

captainlondon:


Hi. Send them a paid email or put a call across to them. If the response is a decision has been made, dash off to TLS office.

Aaapp:


How do you pay for the annual returns their site is complicated must one walk into their office to pay

Ultrafast123:


I have sent them message and also gotten a reply. But I’m confuse with their reply.
A decision has been made but i don’t if they have returned my passport to TLS.
You will see the reply below

captainlondon:


The understanding from the email is that there's a delay in sending documents back to TLS and you need to wait for the confirmation email before you go. You could decide to take a risk and go to TLS without the confirmation but I'm not sure if they will ask you to produce the confirmation mail

When did you send them this email?

sparkleoke:
Go to UKVI website and look for how you can send a complaint. Fill the complaint form and make sure you give details from when you applied and timeline of the paid mails sent with their responses to your paid mails. Make sure you highlight how long since you did your biometrics.
Be polite yet firm stating you paid for a service and still haven't gotten value for the service after ...working days for a visa that should take 6 weeks.
This was what I did and I got collection mail in 24 hours with my visa having being issued 2 months prior.
Going to TLS didn't help even when UKVI asked me to go check my passport there with TLS claiming they haven't received it yet. But the complaint mail worked.
