Good morning people
You guys are truly amazing... I have been a silent follower for a while now and I have learnt a lot.. So my BP is almost sky rocketing at the moment lol
I did my biometrics on Tues and I got a not straight forward on Thursday (priority) this morning I got a mail from the Pretoria team that I should send a stamped and signed statement that they need to verify, attached with the mail was a statement, however the statement attached was for another bank that I had used for a visa application last year to UK and I was granted, and I quickly responded pointing out the error and also attached the new bank statement, behold my peolple, they said the know its for my previous application but they need a stamped and signed one, I sent it to them but I have not heard anything since, am so worried...
Has this happened to anyone before

The way I understand this is if you send your documents with a bank statement that is not stamped by the bank, this form of statement is acceptable by ukvi but if in the event you are selected for verification they cant verify a statement that is not stamped by your bank,even though you downloaded the statement from your banks website. The banks would only respond to queries about verification with statements signed by them but wont respond to statements not signed by them.

In context, ukvi does verification checks at random or if they are suspicious of the statement, So I am of the opinion that you sent a downloaded statement and since they cant verify they want a signed one so they can verify.

Hello everyone,

After Completing the self service upload on the TLS site, can one pay for assisted Service on the day of Biometrics in order to replace a document?

Anyone with similar experiences, thanks.

Yes you can.

Good afternoon all. Paying for vi centre (the 55pounds) seems difficult. Please, who has successfully made payment on the site. Secondly paying for priority, can I pay wen I get there? Cos it's not going too? Any suggestions??

No you cant pay for it when you get there.

Check the card if it doesnt have any restrictions, if it's properly funded, also try and complete all fields like phone number or owner of card and address . If all fails still, call the bank to make a complaint about not being able to transact.

Hello my people. Urgent one biko. I used foreign passport for TB test for minor. I was told at IOM that it should be the same passport as will be used for visa application. Naija passport wasn't ready but it's ready now. Which passport should I use for the visa application? I recall that someone here said he used foreign passport for minor and hadn't got the minor's passport back from UKVI even long after he (OP) and his spouse got theirs.

All inputs will be appreciated. Thanks guys

I dont believe the delay is due passport type. A family also applied and the Kid with the US passport got his first before the rest of the family. Factors like like priority and time of processing can affect when it is issued.

Think your birth certificate should be under family evidence and TB certificate should be under others. But the way i see it, whenever you load it , it would be seen . it’s just more ideal to get the right category

Good Afternoon, help needed on the previous questions and the ones below.

1) Does paying for Priority service save one the need to go early to TLS and book a walk-in appointment for Biometric?
2) Does one need to pay for Flexi appointment when booking for a Family (Primary and dependent applications)?. How will all family members do the Biometric on the same day if the primary is Priority and dependants are standard.

Thank you.

This is literally rush hour and i believe ukvi are actually overwhelmed with applications. Priority would get you a closer date than standard would get you. That being said, if you book priority and still not ok with the date you can do a walk in which would cost you an extra 42k.
Priority is a ukvi service, while walk in is a tls service.
In context, if Mr A books priority and Mr B books standard and they both do walk in and pay the 42k on same day, Mr A would get his decision before Mr B because ukvi would attend to Mr A before Mr B.

Flexi is same as walk in, only difference is that you pay for flexi online while you pay for walk in same day you walk in and both cost same 42k. If a family wants to get same date, it’s easier if they all book flexi and they can all go same day or do walk in and still go same day.

So if the primary applicant books priority and dependanta book standard and they want to do their biometrics same day, they primary can pick a date he gets online and pay for flexi online for dependants and they can all go same day. alternatively they can still go same day and pay for walk in.

It’s getting really tight now, someone paid for super priority on 23rd, and only got pickup message today the 28th. They currently have more applications than they can handle at the moment.

look at it this way, if 100 applicants apply and 20 pay priority, they can easily sort that out but when you are now having 80 out of the 100 pay priority then it’s like they have to handle all applications same .

Hello Good people,

I submitted my biometrics at TLS in Victoria Island yesterday.

I got an email that my application was transferred to Decision Making Committee yesterday.

My question is: How do I track my application on TLS website given that I have applied for priority application and I am expecting my visa next week Monday.

Thank you.

It’s easier to track with the App,just download Tls track my application app on either App store or Play store then input your Surname and Passport number and track it

BA will be the most direct. Check BA...BA is British Airways, Britain's official airline...use flexible travel date option for your search and pick the cheapest.

I've been seeing people complain about high fares from Lagos to Heathrow but idk if it will be the same for Lagos to EDI. If it is high you may compare with prices on travelstart (travelstart.com) which is the only agency I have used with 0 issues so far o

I dunno if BA will let you see fare in NGN and pay with naira card or if you'll def need a dom card for it. I've had both experiences at different times.
Travelstart shows fares in NGN and will allow you use your naira card.

Just to add, General rule of thumb when booking flights... Tuesdays and Wednesday are days you would find the cheapest tickets while Fridays and Sundays tend to be very expensive days to fly, Mondays and Thursdays follow closely on next cheap days

Goodmorning, I am filling the visa application form. I have these questions, please, put me through
(1)I am going with my husband (i am the main applicant). I filled my hubby's details where they stated "spouse/partner details. Then the part of dependant details, do I need to include his details there too?
(2)on the dependant details, I filled my children's details, but they are not going with us. The part they stated "is this person travelling with you to the UK?" Do I say yes or no (like if I say no, won't it attract questions like why are we leaving them behind, with who?)
(3) on my husband's visa form (the dependant form. The part they asked "which Visa is xxxx applying for or been granted?, what option do I choose? Is it tier 2 (general) visa or which one?.

Guys, I've finally received my CAS from Bradford University.

I have a question, the statement I submitted to them was from May 29th - June 29th, can I still use this statement to apply for my VISA today? Actually, I've paid for the VISA process and my appointment date is next week Wednesday the 4th of August, but I'm hesitant to upload any documents yet until I confirm this information.

Considering the fact that the appointment is next week, or will they use the payment date to check the statement?

Please someone should clarify this for me.

I have no issue printing another statement for UKVI, but I feel as though the school and UKVI work together, and wouldn't want to send them any different statement than the one I sent to the school.


What day did you pay for the application? That's the index and any statement you plan on submitting should be within 31 days of that date of application

Hello bros,

I want to walk into TLS office in Victoria island for my Biometric. Although I have booked online but the date is too far for me so I want to pay walk in fee and do tomorrow.

Pleas will they attend to me in TLS VI office without hassle? What is the best time to go for walkin biometric?


It’s rush hour now at both V.I and Ikeja VAC’s , they literally have more applicants than usual. Walk in is possible but it would take time. Most people go a day before to book an appointment the following day, even at that you still have to stay on the queue for a long period of time. That’s also considering you have to pay an extra N42,000 for this service.
