I did mine July 14, did the paid email last week and they said a decision had been made and I’ll get it within 10 working days. Nothing yet...

You are still within the 10days waiting period, please what date did you call ukvi and what date where you told decision has been made on your application??

My sister called last week Friday and was told decision has been made on Wednesday same week, her biometric was on July 14 as well Ikeja TLS ✌️✌️

HumanityYak:
Dear All,

I am from a middle eastern country and I found your forum and its honestly amazing! so much information and exchange of information! I have applied for 2 year visit visa for UK- Standard Visit Visa . this my first time and I have never been to UK before - but Schengen Countries -Once

I have submitted my application end of July and done my biometrics beginning of August 2022 . and I am so stressed since it is over 7 weeks now! I tried to do a phone enquiry but it tells me to press 3/1....etc and when I choose my visa application it is automatic speaker whom confirms that they cant do anything at this stage and they understand it takes longer bla bla!

I have submitted employment support letter and bank statement with over 5,000 GBP balance for one week visit visa. family IDs and bunch of other documents (rental agreement, payslips...etc) all I wanted is to see an [b]English [/b]country but now I am so paranoid since it took long enough and I am afraid if it get cancelled!

apart of that, I have indicated where I stay in the application, however, if I don't cancel soon! full amount will be charged! and If I cancel! I am afraid ECO will contact the hotel and my booking is canceled by then! and it leads to a refusal!! the problem is I am not sure if whether my visa getting approved or not!!!! and I know somebody else who had over 4,500 USD per month salary and his visa refused due to accommodation not confirmed by hotel and 2nd reason was employer didn't confirm that they will renew your contract after expiry!!!!!! Like seriouslY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sometimes they are just desperate to refuse your entry! I found this out only after applied for this sh**!

I understand my visa processing center is different from yours since each set of countries visa applications sent to different centers around the world!
I can see its just stuck in "Application Received by DMC" forever! any advice??

Thank you in advance.

Hello, since you have submitted you can only pray for God's favour, and besides I don't think the Eco can refuse your application because your hotel reservation was cancelled.

My sister hostel reservation was cancelled before we even submitted online... All effort to book other hostel proof abortive, so we had to use it like that.... Atleast they only need the address she will be staying in UK, and since she was not invited I don't think she can be denied based on this, plus we did not include flight itinerary as well as I thought it's not necessary ✌️✌️

Ceocards:
It was truly in active. I was following this group and I observe refusal can happen too and when I check it was in active then Softlife did an advert here he was the one I run to contact. To active it and he did that and I guess I notice that lately. All this application was done by me. No agent involve. Image attached

You can see where you shot yourself.... If you had not made that paid call before you contacted softlife they won't notice.... YOU MADE A PAID CALL ON THE 2ND (YOU ALERTED THEM), YOU CONTACTED SOFTLIFE ON THE 4TH WHEN YOUR COMPANY WAS STILL INACTIVE XXXX, UKVI CAN DECIDE YOUR APPLICATION IN 2DAYS(FACTS) YOU GOT A REFUSAL MAIL ON THE 6TH PLUS WHEN DID SOFTLIFE GOT BACK TO YOU AND YOUR COMPANY STATUS CHANGE BACK TO ACTIVE ✌️✌️

Ceocards:
Bio was July 6th paid email September 2nd. And the reply says I should get back with email after 15days if no decision yet. Decision actually came on the 6th Which I don’t no the decision came in the spam. Note always check ur spam as well but no email for collection because I was only waiting for collection mail not knowing a decision mail as come to the spam. Yesterday I call around 1:27pm and the lady that attend to me say a decision as been made on my passport. I ask her no email for collection yet and she said might be delay from TLS that I might track on there website and I don’t no how to track and since I was still in the time of meeting up to ikeja. I just went with one mind. Getting there my passport was ready. Then it when then I was now checking all my inbox before I jam a decision mail since on the 6th of September


Perhaps; once you paid for email you can always reply under the paid email. Paid email can only be once on each application. It’s also stated in the website

Ok, between that September 2nd that you sent the paid mail was your business still active on CAC portal or not??

I guess as at the time you made that call, decision has not been made yet on your application and that's why you received the mail stating that you should wait for 15days, if you had worked on making your company status active then you would have gotten the visa...

We learn daily and your application will be approved if you re-apply immediately since your company is now active.... ✌️✌️

Ceocards:
CAC
House documents
Marriage cert
Invoice on payments in account in and out from the company account and savings account
My child birth certificate
Family pictures
My wife data page copy
Statements of account both savings and company
Tax card front and back
Business ID card front and back
Letter of consent from my wife
Letter of introduction from me
And from my company HR
That’s all


And also details of the hotel reservation and the details of where I will be visiting while in the UK for the 10days like the tourist places

Please the first time you did paid mail, what was there response, is it your application has been decided or your application is still waiting for decision?? ✌️✌️

Ceocards:
After all struggles and bugles. My passport finally came with a refuse letter because of CAC only. When I submitted my CAC info was active. But I have right to reapply immediately. This is to inform the gurus and experience members in the house. You are really doing real job. Kudos to you. I will be reapplying back next months. The reasons was at the attached documents

Sorry for the refusal.... It happens to my client application as well, when I submitted it was active and after some weeks it became inactive, so I contacted KMO consult here on this thread on Sunday and by Tuesday the company was active again on CAC website.... We decided to make it active to avoid this kind of story....

Lastly when you made the paid call, were you told a decision has been made on your application or you were just told to wait for 15days?? ✌️✌️

Mrsoriginality:
You better delete this nonsense. Carry your fraudulent act elsewhere.

God bless you for this jare.... Nah fools like him go contact him... @justwise pls do the needful boss... ✌️✌️

Mindrenew:
Hi please us your visa first time application ?
Not sure what's delaying mine

Like I qoute earlier, you should get a pickup mail before Friday.

Also I think it depends on date and when your application was decided... Like my sister biometric was on July 14, and her application was decided September 14, last week Wednesday, so we expecting pick up mail this week ✌️✌️

rab4sure:

Mindrenew:
Hi ,please I need a feedback of those that applied for standard visitor visa from July 14 - 20 if anyone has gotten a response .my biometric date was on July 18 at ikeja TLS .

I have an exam in Uk next week

I made a paid call on Friday on behalf of someone who did biometric on 14th July, and I was told a decision has been made on Wednesday which is 14th September which is exactly 9weeks.. so I was told to wait to be contacted within 10days which I believe we should see a pickup mail this week, so calm you will get a pickup mail latest this week Friday ✌️✌️

viktoh12:
Any body tried to call UKVI via paid call/paid mail of recent.
I am not able to call and even trying to send paid mail I keep getting payment failed while for call the numbers were not connecting at all.
Anyone with similar issues?

I called ukvi twice yesterday and it went through, try call with MTN or Etisalat ✌️✌️

lantrenzo:
Please my people. Does TLS Lagos accept cash or debit card for extra services? I selected self-service but I still need to upload other documents requiring assistance. Thank you for your help.

Go with your card ✌️✌️

carsonchuks:
It'll still come. Just that you will just have few days to go. Some people got at 9 weeks plus 1 day, some 9 plus 3, some plus 5.

Exactly ✌️✌️

Mindrenew:
BCH Lagos/ tls Ikeja is something else; I did biometrics on July 18th for standard visitor but haven't gotten a response after several paid calls and mail .including escalation.

Nah next week you go get pickup mail, 11th-15th July should get a pickup mail latest tomorrow, 4th-8th got theirs last week so cool down till next week Friday ✌️✌️

esdajo:
Good morning everyone,

For someone who opted for the self-upload, does one need to upload the visa application checklist as well or one only needs to show it to the TLS people on the day of biometrics submission? Your inputs would be highly appreciated.

Nope... Just print it out and take it along on your biometric date ✌️✌️

Niggaxboy:
Hello Gurus. I guess it's okay to book a flight ticket as my application has 4 checks (transferred to VAC). If not, please let me know. Thank you.

I guess this is a student visa right

oluwashaun:
It's just that it's frustrating trying to get a date.. Bin searching for days now..

Is it this difficult getting a standard visa biometrics date?

Sorry u just have to keep trying... Try midnight or afternoon you might be lucky to see a date✌️✌️

oluwashaun:
I am desperately in need of one..
How can you help?

You are inviting scammers ✌️✌️

oluwashaun:

Can't you cool down and search yourself Don't come back and tell us you were scam oooo ✌️✌️

Mindrenew:
Mine is July 18 biometric for standard visitor and no response yet ,please if July biometric for standard visitor has started receiving response, please let us know

They have started receiving response already... 2 people got their visa last week Friday here on this thread and their Biometric was on July 4, check like 2pages back you would see their update ✌️✌️

TruthCorp:
This isn’t entirely accurate. I know people who did biometrics on Aug 4th and got their visas on the 1st of September.

It’s really not cast in stone

Read my post again, I said "I think"... I was referring to application submitted in July not August..

Most applications that are treated within a month is either a student visa, skilled worker visa or probably a renewal, first timer that got decision barely in a month are just few ✌️✌️

Mindrenew:
Awaiting decision , it seems the paid call and email is just formality

I think applications now takes exactly 9weeks and some days to decide, 2 people got their visa last week and their Biometric was July 4th... ✌️✌️

Mindrenew:
Is there any update on the Standard Visitor Visa? My biometric was on July 18, and today makes it eight working weeks .
Have escalated via paid mail and call but no Improvement .


Please what's the current Standard visitor visa date that just got moved to VAC ?

My biometric was at Ikeja TLS .

What's was the response you get when you sent those paid mail??

PS when was your biometric date??

nathanfas123:
Got this refusal mail just now.
Thought refusal of 2009 won’t be considered cos of the time and totally ignored to fill it in application.
Hope this is not a ban?

And there is another application, biometrics yet to be done, there was a refusal on that in 2006 and 2yrs visa approval in 2009. This refusal is not stated in the submitted application, should the person cancel and submit another application stating the 2006 refusal.
Help urgently needed.

And can premium lounge be canceled too, date is still about 20days time

You have not been ban, however why do you choose to lie about your application

Thank God the entry clearance that worked on your application is a Godly person if not nah bye-bye to United Kingdom until 10yrs before you can apply again ✌️✌️

Ezufree:
hello gurus in the house ,please i need your opinion or advice as i await my visa . last monday made it 3weeks since i submitted my application for uk study visa.my biometrics was at abuja 14th aug. its still at DMC when i checked the tracker and my latest date of resumption is 10th oct. as stated on my CAS.

thanks for your kind responses .

Leave the money there until your visa is approved.... Also when traveling make sure you have your maintenance fee to show the border police... My 2cent ✌️✌️

homesinabuja:
I beg to differ
Application processing is 3 weeks
Any thing other than three week can be escalated.
Can you show proof of where you saw 7 weeks?

It's written on the ukvi website that application now takes 7weeks ✌️✌️
