Hello guys.. I applied for visit visa on april 6 @ Ikeja center and I have not received a decision as at this moment. I called their phone line and was told visit visa takes an average of 6 weeks and it’s within processing time.

What are my options as I am due to go back to the US third week in may and I am worried about this whole scenario

Ashirioluwa:


You can hold on a little bit and see if it will be ready before the end of 2nd week in May. Or you can change your travel date to the US if you can.

sensisosu:



Can I submit a complaint or send a paid email to them for updates ?

Good evening my nairaland family, please I need advice on visa application for my mom on visiting visa.
1)" I just concluded my msc and my graduation is July 28th I would want my mom to use the opportunity to get a uk visa, she's a single mom as my dad has passed and she does business(food) although she makes good money enough to cover her trip and proof of funds but most lodgment is cash and the business not CAC certified and sometimes she doesn't even pay to her account especially when shes try to say ny little hro school fees. Also she gets rent from her properties. I know I can attach my invite letter and certificates of completion to her application but the properties are in my name" so what's the best way to show the VO that she's has ties back home.

2)Also my younger brother who's 19 years still goes to a private uni enough to show ties?

3)PS, my wife just applied to switch to work visa we haven't gotten decision yet would this hinder hers?.....
1. My brother, the hard truth is, it will be difficult to convince the ECO to grant your mum visa
2. Your brother would need school fees receipt, school introductory letter, transcript, personal bank statement showing how he support himself on daily basis
3. No, it will not


please advice sorry for the long read

ditha:

ditha:

Hi all,

Please I need help with regards to UK visitor visa. Here's a summary of the situation below:

I am a student in the UK and my mom and sister want to visit for the summer holiday. My mum is a teacher with earnings of less than NGN50,000 a month. My sister is a final year student at a private university. What documents do they need for application and how much money do they need for proof of funds. Also, what is the application process?

Please let me know. Thank you.

giselle237:
omg!! so good to hear congratulations..

giselle237:
who will be providing accommod? The groom? If it’s the groom, the groom needs to write a very detailed invitation letter and say tht he is providing accommodation and feedn for 10 days. Attach tenancy agreement as well. Applicant also needs to bring this to eco’s attention that host/groom is covering accommo and feeding in his form and/or cover letter.
If it’s the groom’ home, there will be no need to monetize it. This is safer. If groom will put applicant in a hotel, then groom has to write a letter + add proof of his financial ability ie bank statement.
Adequate information eg room cost for such days will need to have a total amount put + proof of reservation.
This is not the absolute list of things to be added pls

Cashmadam:


No need. His friend is not paying anything towards the trip. He is not a sponsor. So, he should not tick the circle. His friend only needs to provide a letter of invitation and state that he will provide accomodation and feeding.

Cashmadam:


Very dicey. You mum's income is low and your sister is a student. Do you have like 5K Pounds in your account? You can sponsor them but their financial standing might be a red flag to the visa officer...

Hello fellows,
I attended biometrics on 23rd March at Ikeja TLS. However, up till now I'm yet to get mail from UKVI. Pls anyone who applied around the same period who hasn't gotten a response? I'm becoming more worried as this is the 7th week.

Navaisha:
Hello everyone
I am about to apply for dependent visas for my self and my 2 kids, to join my husband in the uk. Please I need help with getting an appointment with tls. How can I ensure that we get the same slot for our appointments and would I have to pay for the courier service 3 times? Considering that I have to get the appointments with 3 different applications.

Thank you

meashelle:
Thanks for your response. So, if the money is in my account, I can sponsor them? The reason I even posted was because i wanted to know if there'll be any requirement to declare source of funds.
If the money is in my account, they won't question it? As a student?

Good afternoon. I am trying to apply for a self service in TLS for my mum.

As an intl student, I have invited her, and also attached proofs of schooling and housing. She is retired, so we attached her retirement letter. My dad also has his financial consent letter (he is her sponsor). Do we need to explain the source of his income in his consent letter? Then also, where do I attach pictures showing family ties during the self service? Do I attach in the section tagged others?

Also, do I need to download and attach her visa application form on the tls self service upload?

Thanks all

adelforreal:
You do not need to download and attach, just fill it online and follow the process through to submission page.

For the pictures, you will put it under family ties.

All the best
