Prettyoye:
Dear Gurus in the house..,

Please does one get decision mail for visit visa,

We just did for my mum,she did biometrics last week friday and we got notification that passport has been shipped by DHL....it's all green in the tracking site...but we don't know if it was approved or otherwise yet...

Are we to wait for a mail like how dependants visa work or we just wait to see the passport.

If it is a refusal you still get the mail,... if no mail it is approved.

Hello. Please help clarify. Does your solicitor have to be UK based? I am in the process of sending a PAP after an annoying refusal even though all evidences provided. I have been following this thread for a while now.

I am looking at filing for the PAP too... so we can connect

Opeyemi007:
This could go on to six months though. My solicitor sent a PAP in October 2022, they replied after three months(January 2023) with another re-refusal(Reasons different from the initial ones). We sent another PAP in February (2023) and they replied in May(2023) agreeing with the challenge and granting the visa. It was a very long and daunting process. If I had reapplied without challenging, It would have been refused on some flimsy grounds. Wishing them the best

I just sent you an email not too long.. I want to speak to you about this PAP stuff.

Just sent you an email now. I need to speak to you thanks.

We challenged the ECO decision last month for reconsideration, like I said previously it is not all the ECO that knows what he or she is doing, some roasted me for that statement, I have seen so many refusals that made absolute no sense, they are humans, they have hormones too we have the bad eggs among them who just refuse you based on flimsy excuse(s).
I didn’t take the second refusal likely, as there was no difference between the previous refusal which was last year, and the this recent one and it is based on financial grounds( enough sufficient funds with proof). (Looked more like a copy and paste to me ) Pre action protocol (PAP) was sent to the home office giving them 14days to reconsider before taking it further to court for JR.
They responded on the 14th day and yes a senior caseworker in his/ her right senses looked at the evidence submitted and he/she did agreed it was sufficient enough to grant the entry clearance visiting visa in the first place.
If we had accepted fate and re - apply the third time it MAY be refused again and that is too much dent, although they claim every new application(s) is decided based on its merit but I do not want to believe they do not look at your past history with them in concluding.
So fingers crossed on when my aunt and her children will be asked to bring their passports, it shouldn’t take up to 3months sha.
Sometimes you just have to push some buttons.
Don’t let the refusal bring you down, but first, do the right thing.
And good luck to everyone.

Does anyone know how I can follow up to challenge a decision on my mum's visit visa, I know it will take awhile but I think I will do that this guys are being funny. I can take it.

Thanks.

Wisdom7400:

I think its 43k or so How much is flexi now?

89k

Wisdom7400:

Of course you have to reschedule. The can be very strict on appointments. You can also use flexi for earlier dates

Flexi is quite costly now

Have any one come late for biometrics, like an hour late. Is there any hope of getting it done today.. they are saying we should go and reshedule? Has anyone experienced this?

Thanks thanks...

My mom’s visa is out - Standard Application
Biometrics- 2nd of August 2023
Collection mail - 10th August 2023
TLS VI - visa collected today. We said date of travel for end of month but the Vo decided to put 15th as start date🤦‍♀️

What I submitted:

So, I was initially updating the document one by one, but I felt it was going to confuse the VO and decided to merge them based on the check list that was provided after visa application.
I created a Table of Contents in the first page for each checklist and listed the document and the page number.
I used I love PDF to merge all the docs with the table of content, it was work but I think it made the application very straightforward. In all I submitted 7 Pdf files


1. Evidence of Ties to Home Country – proof of ties to home country
— Letter of Visa Application by my mom where she declared what she does and what she is coming to do in the UK as well as declaration to abide by the laws of the land in terms of no recourse to public funds. In the Letter, she stated relationship between herself and the sponsor.
— Attestation Letter from her Parish Vicar
— Attestation Letter from where she currently lectures part time (note that I stated she was self-employed in the application)
— Attestation Letter from Late husband’s workplace and how long they have known her
— Land documents/ Receipt of Properties
— Pictures of my mom at Work and with other siblings in Nigeria ( I used Microsoft to build a template where I inserted pictures and stated what each of them was and where they were taken including the date they were taken)

2. Evidence of funds available to you
— Merged Bank statements of my mom’s personal accounts, created a table of content for each statement.
This was my biggest fear, cos during application, I asked my mom what she feels is her annual income and she said 500K, only for her to print statement and one statement had inflow of 6million+ with outflow of 5.9million, 6 months statement oh. Balance was 174,000 naira. I shock.
Her other statement too – inflow of 300,000 and outflow of also 260,000+ under 6 months. Summary is as she gets money, she distributes to different people as a good Samaritan that she is.
I questioned her and she said Nigeria is tough, she cannot have and not help people that come to her for help. Okay ngwanu,
*I didn’t include any letter of explanation because I didn’t want to draw any attention to it since she was being fully sponsored. And cos I filled 60k as her monthly expense in the application but was seeing expenses of over 250k in a month from her statement. SMH!
— Land document and Property receipt to show ownership (I also didn’t explain anything)

3. Evidence that Sponsor is not in breech of UK Immigration laws. – This also had a table of contents and page number of every doc in it
— BRP (back and front scans of me and my spouse’s BRB)
— International Passports data pages
— Visa Approval Letter from UKVI

4. Evidence of Support from Sponsor – Letter of invitation
— Letter of invitation stating how we were solely funding the visit, confirming relationship, current workplace, residential address, financial competence and stating that she wouldn’t pose as a financial burden to the UK. Attached phone number and email address and wet signed the Letter. (Just One page letter but very straight to the point)

5. Invitation from UK based family/evidence to be in the UK.
I still attached the letter of invitation here.
— Proof of reason why she was coming. – mainly pictures which I labelled all
— Proof of address – utility bill (only water and light)
— Proof of residency status – still attached BRP here too.

6 Evidence of Support from Sponsor
— 6 months merged Bank Statements – me and my spouse labelled each page on the table of content.
— Work employment contract of sponsor
— Payslips to show monthly/weekly income.
I didn’t draft any letter of explanation to explain anything cos the balance on the statements was adequate and transactions were clear.

7. Evidence of Relationship with Sponsor
— Merged – Birth cert showing her and my dad, my baptism cert, my marriage cert, wedding pictures far back where she featured, legal name change of spouse.
— Pictures of different events we have attended together, labelled all using MS word and converted to pdf

A very big congratulations. Can I speak with you please. I just emailed you. hoping you get back to me please thanks so much.

[quote author=TeeNaMah22 post=124801336][/quote] Congratulations....... How did you quote you will be supporting them with and how much is final balance in your account. Thanks.
