Was your application standard spouse visa? And did you get a Non- straight forward e.mail?

youniq:
I don’t know how you’ve been able to wait for 126 days, I would have bombarded them with emails and calls. Normally, when they say “not straight forward”, it takes a few weeks to hear from them. I pray you hear from them soon.

Yeah I know it's gonna take a few weeks, but 126 working days is long enough, I Dont know why they are so incompetent of their job, I ve done paid enquiries countless times but all I got is a generic message:*awaiting decision* The application has really kept me on hold.

The wait is really getting a troll on me and my mental health has been affected.Biometric was done Nov 26, Got a non- straight forward mail on my 58 wd, Today makes it exactly 126 working days, and no other info or update from them. Just confused and Dont know what to do again.Contacted MP no feedback, just made a complain tho, I hope I get something positive out of that. Pouring this out here to hear some positive stories that will make me feel better

[quote author=Ray7878 post=113248421]I have included the link here and the screenshot of how and the pages that I went via.

You all would be hearing your good news ASAP. I am praying for all you too. I feel like family here. Someone said they “Screamed” when I posted my news yesterday and that just brought tears to my eyes. Because we don’t know each other but they are just happy to hear good news. That’s how and why I love my people.

Ray7878:

nelsola:
Good day everyone, i just got my passport from TLS contact in Lagos and there's no visa in it and i didn't get any email saying i was denied the UK visa. I'm really not sure how to proceed on the issue. Any advice would be appreciated.

Wen was your bio and what type of visa? probably you should contact your local MP to know what's up.

Here is it, I really don't know if its a generic one, but this has really got me upset coz my application was really a straight forward one

I got a Non straight forward email today which is my 58 working days. What does this really mean and for how long do I have to wait. Anyone who has got idea about this

Ray7878:
What card are you using? Visa? Mastercard? Is it a Nigerian one etc? I used a British card and it went through without any issues.

It's a Nigeria master card (UBA), could that be the reason why it's not going

I tried making a paid enquiry through e mail, but the payment has not been going through, pls house any idea on how best I can go about it

Congratulations, so happy for you, I pray my own come soon

Richardelorin:
Good evening everyone
Pls I need answers as I am a novice on this. Can some one appeal and at same time re-apply?

I don't think so, were you refused and why So we can all learn

Akins2021:
I mailed them and got a reply just now. That a decision has been made on my application on January 31st. And that i should allow 10 working days for the VAC to contact me.

When do you think i should go to to Ikeja.

Pls wish me well o.

Waoh!!! Congratulations, share the positive news with us o

ninirizzle:
Thank God a decision has been made. I have been waiting on them, my bio was done on the 7th of September, i am currently on 100WD. Their phone lines weren't connecting, so i did a paid email and they said no decision has been made, so i asked for an escalation. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions. Am sure you will hear from TLS soon, you have done the most part of the waiting.

Congratulations, Did you get an e mail from TLS or you ve not been contacted at all??

Did your tracker change

Akins2021:
Not yet, i am still on 3 greens as at yesterday tracking . It will be 60 days by February 9. If i don’t hear anything by then, i will do paid enquiry.

Datz just the best thing to do, coz there is this group I belong too, nd most pple ve been complaining of not get an e mail after decision ve been made and the tracker not also changing, so once they do a paid enquiry nd decision has been made they just go to their VAC and they find out their passport has been sitting pretty in their office without contacting the applicant.

soldout88:
Please I'd like to know anyone did biometrics 3rd of Nov 2021 and have gotten their passport back.

It is past 60WD (exclusive of the 3 days holiday). I called UKVI last week and they said decision has been made. It has been a week now and TLS haven't emailed for passport collection and my tracker is still at the 3rd tick.

Thank you

I think you should just show up there to, coz its seems its taking forever for them to send a mail.

Akins2021:
November 8 here. The anxiety is building up. Will be 60 working days by feb 9 .

Ohh!!! Almost here, have you done any paid enquiry

Debbiespicy:
November 16 and still waiting.

I hope we get the positive response soon�
