Did you apply using gov.uk or visa4uk.fco.gov.uk?

I applied using Visa4uk this is alarming, I was told yesterday that a decision has been made on my application and I also sent an email to TLS yesterday to know what's happening. Which site did u use when applying? Any news on ur end?

EFX001:
Urgent : i applied for my mum's vacation visa to the uk on the 7th of may, till date no decision has been made. We've called the ukvi center and they gave us a" reference number " no word, no decision, no passport. She's been traveling since the 80's and has never been rejected. She has a passport filled with uk and American visa histories. What in the name of God is going on. Someone please advise.

I think we are both in the same boat.. I submitted mins and did biometrics on the 10th of May.. I called UKVI today and was told a decision has been made.. but no email yet.. I also want to TLS Ikeja last week Thursday they said passport not yet ready.. so am still hoping to get their email.

When did u call UKVI? If today maybe u shud make plans to go to the TLS office where u submitted.

Please keep me updated on ur application

PrechyJoe:


Have you called UKVI?

I just called UKVI now and I was told a decision has been made on my application.. but still no email received from either UKVI or TLS

PrechyJoe:


Have you called UKVI?

No I haven't called UKVI, I actually went to TLS Ikeja office last week Thursday, they scanned my barcode and told me my passport is not yet ready.. that they will send me an email when its ready.. Am just worried cos it's taking too long

PrechyJoe:
Good Morning everyone.

My mum and kid sister got their Visa this morning.

Biometrics - 22nd May
UKVI mail- 29th May
Visa issued on 11th June

This visa thing is just grace, because we were so scared since we didn't provide some information we thought we needed.

We applied for Family visit Visa, we would be going for my Sisters Convocation.

Mine is yet to come as I did my biometrics few days after them, I wasn't in town.
I hope I get tooo.

Thank you everyone, this group helped me a lot

Congratulations... I have not gotten any response on my application.

Did Biometrics on the 10th of May
Received by UKVI and prepared for consideration by ECO ON the 14th of May

Just yesterday received a mail in my spam that is a survey if I have received any decision made with my application within the last 3 months.

Until this moment I have not received any mail from UKVI PR TLS. It's been about 30 working days now.

thanks buddy.. I am reapplying asap. just met a woman at tls ikeja today, she is an immigration lawyer and she told me she will write the British high commission on my behalf to review my case..
she charge me for her service which I pay but just wondering if something like this truly exist or not...

Were u allowed to appeal /administrative review? Cos I realized a lot of people at the gate there tend to want to help help reapply.. so am not sure if they are immigration lawyer.. but there is no harm in trying. But u shud have asked the gurus here first before paying..

alert20:



congrats Bro... mine was refused.. the ECO said I lodge money from an unknown account...

the money has been entering my account from my wife's account now for over 2years now but I am surprised the eco refers to the money sent from her account to mine as inconsistent

also when asked while filling the form how much do you get in a year I calculated my salary and money from family members together, but the eco only saw the money as my other income and not total income.

I was refused on
paragraph 42 code...

Am really so sorry about the refusal bro.. just stay strong I know it can be depressing but u can always reapply... just make sure to put some things clearly the next time.. I really wish u the best

Ezechinwa:


I added that just my brother providing accommodation

Ok dats good... once again congratulations. Enjoy ur trip

Ezechinwa:


I have never left the shores of Nigeria ...lol

Hahaha... U are not serious, how then did u do it.. even with my travel history after all I read here am a bit nervous about the UK visa though am positive. So did u have some other back up documents from family or just urs?

Ezechinwa:


First time bro

Ooh dats good.. Am happy for u. Am still waiting to come pick up mine.. it's been over 22 working days now.
How about ur travel history have u gone to other countries before now? Just trying to find comfort with ur visa approval while waiting for mine

Ezechinwa:

To be honest , the statement of account I submitted had only 80k as closing balance, but I was never worried as I ensure honestly in my applicantion .

Good luck guys hope this information would help someone.

Congratulations... is this ur first time applying for UK visa and have u been previously issued a UK visa before this?

[quote author=Ronnygold post=68464628]Thank you so much for your precious time.
Will 3 months bank statements do? Thanks.

You will need to present a 6 months bank statement which is the required months of transaction

just got a pickup mail and sms respectively... I also checked on tls website ready for collection ticked...

Baba I am hoping for the best ooo... I go update u as e dey go Bro... thanks

Wishing u the best bro... please update me when u pick ur passport of the outcome.. keeping my fingers crossed

alert20:


I haven't received pick up mail from tls...
still waiting for their mail even though I paid sms service fee which they have not send any sms so far to me..

To those guys at TLS are slow and I don't even think their sms is active again.. if u stay close to the centre maybe u can try to see if it's at the centre and they have not updated their system. Keep ur fingers crossed and hope for the best. It's as if those agents at the tlc centre there want people to be denied so they can offer to assist to help secure a visa...

alert20:


yes this is my first application with UK...
and it's a virgin passport...
I have another passport expiring this month, and it has only west Africa stamps Ghana twice and Togo twice respectively...

Ok so have u gone to pick up or passport? Did u get the visa?

alert20:


just checked tls website and saw decision made ticked...
submitted 22nd May @ ikeja.

Is this ur first time? Have u gotten a British visa previously?

churockng:


I tried registering to see if I can track but I still can't... I filled my form via visa4uk website so it's not from TLScontact.
I guess I will have to go check tomorrow cos it might have been returned and I will still be waiting without knowing.cos it's already 22 working days. Which is far gone from the stipulated 15 working days...

I went to TLS Ikeja center this morning to check and pick up my passport. But was told it's not yet ready. And I was told I will be sent an email when its ready for collection. I did my biometrics on the 10th of May.

Funnygirl1998:



Can someone pls reply this

Did u fill in information for any family member over there? If yes then it's ok, but if no then it might affect ur application as family visa shud be for those going to visit there family member over there in UK.

cdbaba:

Got a mail yesterday evening from Tls to pick up passport.
Picked up the passport this afternoon, visa stamped since June 6

When did u apply and when did u do ur biometrics?

Ezechinwa:


Standard... Priority would have been too expensive as I am travelling with my family.

Mine is even worse , I already bought my flight tickets, I am suppose to be leaving today , Today makes it the 15th working day and TLS are yet to update my decision made status, I called UKVI they said they have already made a decision but thanks to my TLS with their so called poor services are yet to update our status

Is ur application a standard one or priority service?

Ezechinwa:

You shud have waited for the visa before buying the ticket.. am sorry about dat. I guess maybe a decision has been made on mine.. please how did u call Ukvi, maybe I need to do the same. Besides I don't know how to check the status on TLS website, any idea?

Ezechinwa:


Have they replied you? What did they say

Until this moment I have not gotten any reply from them. Are u in the same situation?

monchat:


Just calm down. Probably many applications bc of summer

Thanks..

monchat:


Which visa type did u apply for?
Normally if it is tourist visa it takes just 15 working days. When I submitted this Feb, I only received the 1st mail that my application av bin received, then the last mail was my visa is ready for collection.
Atimes if it is taking time to come out, there are many people that applied, especially now that summer is around the corner.
For the tracking check the website and see if u can find it, the last I applied a sister assisted me to track it. Other house members can contribute.

I actually applied for the tourist visa for 6 months.. it's been about 21 working days now after my biometrics on the 10th of May. Am still waiting for an email, though I already wrote to TLS yesterday.

Hi, I applied for UK visa and did my biometrics on the 10th of May, I received an email from Shefo that my application has been received and being prepared for review by ECO and that a mail will be sent once a decision is made.. but until this moment I have not heard from them or the TLS.
Am a little worried not knowing a decision has been made and no mail to me and also don't know how to track it on TLS website.. please our gurus in the house I need ur advice here. Thanks
