Please just wondering if the ECM can refused to overturn the decision to grant the visa based on another reason and not what it was originally refused on.

Hi Everyone,

Are these the only documents submitted by applicant here in Nigeria and the rest sent to sponsor in the UK for postage to UKBA:

- Application form of course
- Applicant's passport
- TB test result
- IELTS Test Certificate

Please I need your help.

AdaNewbie1290:

Passport photograph too. The sponsor can submit the IELTS straight to Sheffield . Depending on the TLS center you use, some of them refuse to collect the IELTS certificate.

Batba1:


They've stopped taking passport photographs well as at mid April at VI. I think it's one of the new changes they made in how they operate

AdaNewbie1290:

Does it mean I will have to send my passport photograph to hubby?
Thanks for the info

Batba1:

You are welcome
No they don't need it at all...they don't take it anymore. They have your picture from biometrics already.
Good luck!

hello just to share the good news with you that the decision to refuse husband's visa has been overturned today and he has been asked to send in his passport and TB test certificate. Thanks so much for your help and advise. You are doing a great job on here. you would not believe is thanks to you that I gathered the courage to contact my MP as my solicitor refused that it was not a good idea to contact MP and I did all my paper work my self and sent to the Home office and the MP.

thanks so much I am so over the moon. Honestly some of these solicitors are goats just wanting to eat peoples money because he wanted my case to go to court so he could represent me and make money but I have a law qualification and worked with a law firm for years so did my paper work alone. they got paper work two days ago and overturned the decision today. thanks once more and may god bless you
