Hey Guys

I still haven't got my documents back from the HO. My husband got his visa since 10/11. I thought that the documents would have been back by now.
How long does it normally take?

Thanks hun.... I booked it already with Med View he is coming next week God's willing.

I am still checking on here for your good news

Abbylove:
A member of their staff is my close relative.

Its a good airline

Fear not!

Medview is quite a new airline to run between Lagos and London. I don't know of any one that has used it.

Have you had good reviews about them?

Abbylove:
Wow. Scam website?

Use medview. U can get a one way ticket for about £300.

Let us know how it goes.

WOW...good thing I just came to check here. The website I was on was different and it was a pakistani guy I just spoke to on the phone who told me £442.

Thanks so much!! I wouldnt have booked over the phone anyway had to speak to my hubby first.

Lexusgs430:


Ensure you either buy from the airline directly, opodo or other recognized travel agencies and not those Pakistani fake duplicated websites

www.medviewairline.com

Thanks @ Lexuss just called medview £442 for economy plus. Plus two bags at 32kg each that really good. better than the 23kg Virgin give.

My hubby only gonna want a direct flight.

i'll check medview cause Gatwick is like 20mins away, so much better. Thanks

Thank you, I posted it earlier.


GUYS, Whats up with the flights from Nigeria though. I went in March, June & Sep this year and never paid more that £600 on Virgin.

All the direct flights apart from like Arik are like 1k plus. It's crazy.....

Hubby received an email today at 1:57pm I saw it at 2pm that his passport is ready to collect. I called him and said babes they close at 4 please go there now I cant wait any longer.

He collected his passport today and his visa was issued!!

Time to book his return flight!!

Thanks guys for all you support especially @Abby LOve and @Lexus

No I dont mind. My husband got the lawyer before he left in december last year. I told my hubby I could have done the application but he believes in lawyers to much. We paid £550 to the lawyer, total piss take! when I used to call him and say the application is taking longer than normal he said when a decision is made we would be contacted...

Foreveryours201:


Wow. Sounds like you have been through alot. Why did you hire a Lawyer if you don't mind me asking?

No..The HO claim my husbands case was not straightforward. Then the lawyer provided an incorrect email and the mobile number for my hubby missing a digit. So we were not getting any correspondences.

Thanks to myself being proactive and not waiting on the lawyer who I paid in full upfront, I managed to update the contact details and pay the IHS charge that the lawyer said he had paid. Long story with back to back DRAMA! Just awaiting the decision now... So fingers crossed its good news...

Foreveryours201:


Wait. was this from an appeal?

Hey guys

Hubby just got an email from tlscontact that a decision has been made and he will be emailed when to collect over the next few days...

Not long now fingers crossed its good news! Not easy waiting from April 16 for a decision.

thanks @Abbylove

I pray I will be celebrating soon as well.

Will keep you guys posted.

Abbylove:
Wow! That was quick.

I dont want to Jinx it but av got a very positive vibe about this!!!

I pray we can celebrate with you soon!!!!

Fingers crossed on your behalf

Ok- Thanks

Lexusgs430:


I have known it range from 3 days - 2 weeks

Thanks..

How long is it normally after the decisions been made email do you get your documents?

Is it 5 working days?

Lexusgs430:


The perfect present this Xmas is your hubby. Hope you have an appropriate fitting chimney?

Hey guys

Especially @Lexusgs & @Abby Love

My husband received a decision made email this evening at 5:30.... The HO has confirmed receipt of the IHS payment also. I sent and Email Form and they confirmed they received the payment!

I really pray it's good news. Hopefully his documents are sent back some point this week. Will keep you guys posted.

I Pray oooooo (in my naija accent..lol)

I'll update you guys with the progress!

Lexusgs430:


The next news from you should be, Hubby picked up his visa today and he is on flight to the UK tomorrow .................

Thanks for the positivity! Hopefully I heard something soon!

Lexusgs430:


Once payment is acknowledged, a spousal visa stamp is the only thing left.
Hubby would be with you before Christmas. And you can have a double celebration (anniversary + xmas). If only I knew what Santa would put in the socks(would love to be a fly on the wall).....

Thanks @ wallg123 I have been sending numerous escalations and phones calls. lol

wallg123:


Don't worry everything should be fine...
just keep emailing them for updates after 2 weeks ....

u need to see how I was busy bombarding them with emails ....@ a time I felt bad for my actions .... lol

Hi Guys

Just a quick update....I paid the IHS this morning and sent the email with the details...e.g. the old and new GWF, IHS ref and the payment amount..

I called the HO today they said the application is still being processed so hopefully they were still waiting for us to pay.
Fingers crossed I don't receive a refund in the next couple of days. I really pray after all this waiting that my husband would be here for Christmas.
