Iver57:Why not check for the visa requirements on their website for people out the UK or common wealth nations. |
Iver57:I do understand how you feel regarding the refusal of family visit visa. Unfortunately, visit Visas cannot be appealed. The only option is to address the reasons for the refusal and then reapply. Good luck. |
benileo:You will need a sponsor letter to confirm that you consent or support your spouse application. The letter is needed as part of evidence of your r/ship. See attached and a copy I used. Address it to The Visa Officer UK Visas and Immigration, international Sheffield United Kingdom. I hope this helps. Good luck.

MG2801:Madam Portsmouth has created a forum on flr. If you can dig into previous pages you will see the link. Some of the people with successful application are there. I visited the forum once, I need to be done with this before crossing over there. |
@Darcy16, w.r.t. timeline, my wife's application was submitted online on 16th October Biometrics @ VI on 24th October Supporting Documents was posted via DHL on 27th October. We have not received any email from HO to acknowledge receipt, however DHL tracking showed that my supporting documents was received on 31st October Nothing else since then. Good luck to you and everyone applying and appealing. |

@justwise, the second option is not applicable to degrees taught in Nigeria as Nigeria is not recognized as an English speaking country under the UKBA. |
@justwise pls see the link below my post. |
@anyichi16 It all look spot on. I will suggest you take off your Nigeria degree certificate. Your U.K. Certificate is more than enough. |
@justwise and @foreveryour201, from what i read about the english language requirement, if using degree to meet the english language requirement, one has to have it assessed through NARIC. providing just the certificate and letter of proficiency in english is not enough. You need to submit the NARIC assessment, degree certificate and the english language proficiency letter. https://www.gov.uk/english-language/degrees-in-english |
@foreveryours201, Sorry about the refusal and the ill health of your mum. Regarding the English requirement, Nigeria is not recognized as a Majority English speaking country. Since you use the degree criteria to meet the english language requirement, you should have had it assessed by NARIC. All your husband needed to do was to get his degree cert., letter confirm english proficiency, and your husband's academic transcript. Your husband only need to create an account with NARIC and upload these documents, pay about 56gbp, and the certificate will be with you provided you use your UK address. Secondly, regarding getting a letter from your property manager, I guess he is just scared. You only need to let him use the condition statement or clause "If your husband is been granted the visa that entitles him to live and work in the UK". I guess that will solve it. Also know that this is your entitlement. Thirdly, if you submitted all the documents that they claim you did not submit, accept it. Have this in mind that most caseworkers are not educated and professionals. They have in the past used someone's decision for my wife. we made a laugh of the refusal letter. Just know that these people are under pressure and careless of the emotional torture applicants go through. My candid advise is in agreement with Lexusgs430 advise. Just address the reasons on the refusal letter and reapply. If you read through the first page to the present page, I don't think you will want to go through the appeal process. All the best. |
@abakilikiboy Any information or suggestion that will help will depend on you telling the house team the full gist, the truth and nothing but the truth. then gurus like lexusgs430, justwise, portsmouths, and a whole lot of other gurus can then brainstorm on your case. |
@abakilikiboy I understand your plans. My main concern is about your baby whom was born while in previous marriage. HO may see it as infidelity to your ex just as my friend's case was. We can only proffer a reasonable cover between now and the time you make their application. It's better to cover every loopholes with truth. We can only do our best and believe in God to perfect his plans for us. Keep your communications with your baby mum from the date you started your communication after your divorce to the day you will file for them. Good luck! |
@lexusgs430, I no know ooo, it's left for my wife to answer the question. You know if one work for something, one will appreciate it. if it comes easily without sweat, one won't know the value. She no sabi wey ti people (we wey they no born for UK) dey pass thru to get the pali, the thing dey come her front door easily. Abeg make una pray for us make the application go smooth. from what i don read on this forum, i no get strength for appeal. I don even repent part-time for this application. |
@ Lexusgs430, I pray it will not hunt us. The thing is my wife is not really keen on relocating from Nigeria to UK 1. because of her job, and 2. She sees UK as too boring and prefers U.S. The thing is no one knows tomorrow and what it will bring.. I'm just doing what I have to do as a husband and for my kids when they arrive into the world. |
@Lexusgs430 thanks for your response. I did not pay for priority, considering the fact that my wife has been denied UK and US visas four times each, and I am currently in Nigeria, I did not bother paying for priority. We don't mind the wait game provided HO give us what we want. |
@Lexusgs430 regarding the laminated document, i emailed sheffield on tuesday last week as you advised, they never reply me sef. in addition to this, I posted supporting documents from here (Nigeria) via DHL on 27th October, it was signed and received at Sheffield on 31st October. Up till now, no email has been sent to my wife to inform her that supporting documents has been received. abi they no day send email? |
Good morning all. @abakilikiboy my advise to is to be prayerful because your application MAY not be an easy one. My former flatmate very similar issue as you. He impregnated his current wife while in marriage with his ex. his divorced. when he got his papers, he filed for his baby and baby mum and their application was refused. Why? He filed for divorce after obtaining his papers. the reason for divorce with his ex as stated on the extract of divorce was as a result of infidelity from his ex. HO further stated on the refusal that his child with his current wife was born while in marriage with his ex. to cut the long story short, they concluded that the infidelity was on his part. They further classified his marriage with his ex as bogus marriage all with the intention playing on the immigration rule. As at the last time i communicated with him in June this year, it was still a negative news. However, do not be discouraged by my friend's experience. My candid advise is do not rush into marriage yet for the purpose of bring your baby mother over to the uk. Get your red passport first before entering marriage with her, and use this time to gather lots of info, documents, and establish subsisting relationship, communications, pictures and holiday trips with your baby mum so as to boost your application. Good luck! |
@toksys to my understanding on the financial requirements, and considering the fact that your Spouse's income is from two sources, that does not qualify you to go for 6months income with one employer. If your spouse's income over the past 12months from various sources exceeds £18600, then you have met the 12months route. Provided you have the pay slips and bank statement as evidence. This is my opinion, I stand to be corrected. |
Good morning All, I was catching up with previous pages where I stopped, and read that HO do not accept laminated certificates. How true is this? We have posted our documents and my wife's degree notification of result is laminated. However, we have collected her degree certificate on last Friday. I want to know if they don't accept laminated certificates, should I send the degree certificate immediately? Thanks in advance for your advise. |
@ Lexusgs430 Junior is on his way to earth.. you go kill person with your sense of humor. With all this tension, you still make it easy for people to laugh and worry less while providing your wealth of knowledge to the best you can to all the need it. God bless your skills and talents. I will be back to UK on 2nd Nov. I know I have two weeks to post, but not sure if the two weeks counts from date of submission or from biometrics. if from biometrics I can return to the UK with the documents, and post from UK. |
Good morning house, please what is the correct address to post documents to sheffield? I arrived Nigeria last night to arrange the neccessary documents for my wife, and I will be posting from Nigeria. The addresses I have are: iNTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS AND VISA 6MILLSANDS VULCAN HOUSE SHEFFIELD S3 8NH UK AND UK VISAS AND IMMIGRATION INTERNATIONAL, PO BOX 3468 SHEFFIELD UK S3 8WA. My wife's appointment is on Monday. your quick guide will be appreciated. |
Best of the day to you All, My wife's application has been submitted online and all fees paid and appointment booked. I have gone through the checklists posted on previous pages, which I have ticked. But with regards to evidence of support, must i provide it? I have been sending money to my wife from feb 2015 part of which was for wedding preparation and up keeps, through azimo and small world fs. The amount varies as the max I sent in one transaction is £1876 and min £175.50. in total its about £8716. My question is, if I provide this, will they query the amount and do I need to write what the money was for? Secondly, at the start of this whole process, my wife was not taking this application serious, I gave up on the application about two weeks ago as the documents I asked her to get since Feb 2016 where not forthcoming. Then, I booked my flight to Nigeria for this Friday to go visit her (and to pour out some ... as the thing don full). Last week, all documents were ready and her passport too. I want to double check with the gurus shey I still fit send my original documents from Naija to Shefield? I intend to travel with them and i have gotten the prepaid envelop with stamps. |

@ AdaNewbie1290 congrats e no easy.. I want to enquire if you used the priority service. if yes, have you been denied any visa before? I am hoping to use the priority service but my wife has been a denial customer to UK (4times) and US(3 times) visas. I read on TLS that one can use the priority service if one has not been denied any visa. any advise house? |
MG2801 Be advised that the second option is if your degree is from an English speaking country which Nigeria is not included. My candid advise is for you to get your transcript, letter confirming that your degree was taught in english, and degree certificate. If you can't meet this, then do the IELTS exam. I understand that Universities will say that they don't issue transcript by hand, my was issued by hand. My spouse used her company to receive hers. If possible and if you have it, spread some money around. N10K it enough to get it. Using NARIC is a good option if you have all they need. it only cost approx. £57 inclusive postage. My case was that degree certificate has not been issued. Statement of result was ussed in place of degree certificate. NARIC was still able to confirm its equivalent to level C1 which is what they confirm generally. the only difference is the additional information section recommending that I make it available should an employer or an institution requires it. I also got an Attestation letter from University which includes my spouse name, degree studied and date of completion, and also confirmed that degree cert. is going through inscription and signing and would be issued when its ready. With the NARIC letter, letter confirming degree was taught in english and Attestation letter from my spouse university, and spouse statement of result, the english requirement is met. These documents will be submitted as well with the application. |
oladuuni4real Page 28-29 answers your question: 5.5.7. Overtime, commission-based pay and bonuses (which can include tips and gratuities paid via a tronc scheme registered with HMRC) will be counted as income from employment where they have been received in the 6 or 12 months prior to the date of application as applicable. Sometimes the person will receive the same amount of income from overtime each month; sometimes overtime payments will vary, with different amounts (if any) each month. All overtime in salaried employment will be calculated based on the approach to income from non -salaried employment. This will be an annualised 6-month average for the overtime which will be added to the level of the gross annual salary."

MG2801 If your husband is using the option of degree for the english assessment, He needs his certificate, a letter from his university stating that the degree was taught in english, his academic transcripts as well. If you check my previous comment, I did similar, but I have not been issued my degree certificate so i used my statement of result. NARIC assessment was equivalent to level C1, but in mine, as i did not provide degree certificate, they recommended in the additional information section, that I should provide my degree certificate to potential employer or university. So with this NARIC letter, I requested from my university, a letter to confirm my name, my degree and date the degree was awarded, as stated on https://www.gov.uk/english-language/degrees-in-english. I will include all these document in my application. I hope this helps. |
