Hello have you been refunded? I think TLS just ignores refunds. Since September 2019 till date no refund no apologies....it is well

I send emails every other day, they recently replied that they have transferred it to accounts where they are verifying the transaction but I will keep sending emails.

When banks refuse to refund Atm false debits, do you know that phone number or email that was publicized for people to make complaints?

If we can get it, we can send our complaints to them.

Can anyone in the house help with it?

Brainbox0806:
Thanks a million for taking time out to reply my post,I really appreciate. I've done a change of name for my wife,I believe I can add the newspaper page with the documents to be submitted.?

Yes together with the marriage certificate

Brainbox0806:
Greetings to you all, please i need urgent /sincere advice from gurus in the house. My sister in-laws will like to travel on a tourist visa with her baby of abt 6 month, the trip is to be sponsored by her husband, (her husband reside in the US, a citizen but visit Nigeria not often -part of reason she wants to go for holiday to catch some fun). Her husband sister ( lives in the UK for almost 30 yrs now, a citizen i supposed ) ,she is to send an invitation letter for the trip. My sister in-laws who believe she will be lonely during the holiday, has now decided to take my wife (also with a year old baby) along to juice up the holidays. Here are the challenges. (1). The woman they are to visit doesn't know how to write an invitation letter, what details to include, so she asked me how to go about the write up.. Kindly help analyze what to include in the letter, also does she need to DHL it or just write and scanned via email?

(2) my wife was once denied a UK visa before, some 11 yrs ago, we filled it then that we were to go on a honey moon, BUT under a name different from what i use legitimately now , my wife only used just my fake surname then and thumbs printed on that single name

My co brother-in-law is the one to sponsor the trip, (account statement well capable) but i guess i might need to add my own acc statement (also well capable), house documents to back up my wife trip, I've got three properties docs i can add (i hope they accept Lagos land use docs? Surveys available but no cfo)

Questions begging answers are:, should i add my own documents to support my wife trip ( bearing in mind that she will be using my real surname now and she already used the fake surname 11 yrs ago).

Or should i just let my co brother-in-law documents do the magic? The bank statement to be used from my co brother-in-law side is in her wife name ( unfortunately my wife can't add her own bank statement because no tangible funds in there)

(3). Regarding the plane ticket, do we need to book and pay for it for real or how?

(4). Do we need to file the two applications together or separately?

(5). How much is a uk tourist visa fee?

(6). The two infants, do they need to get their own passports or visa will be printed on mother passports?

Also, i was thinking to push my sister in-laws application in first so my wife bad record won't jeopardize her chance, thereafter, i will push my wife application in with the same invitation letter writing by the woman .what do you think gurus in the house, awaiting your sincere advice.

You as the husband should sponsor your wife or she should sponsor herself to boost her chances

Details in the invitation letter should include duration of travel, purpose, full name and passport number of the people being invited including the children, she should state that she will be providing accommodation and feeding during their stay. She should state the relationship between them.

The letter should written, signed and she can scan and send through email. She should also provide house documents, account statement, council tax bill etc. Pictures with her brother can also be used as evidence.

You will have to submit separately and also get Intl passports for the children, fill forms and pay for them too

Your wife needs to come clean about the past application and also use genuine information now.

You don't need to book plane tickets before your visa

Hello any news? Have you been refunded by TLS?

Unfortunately, No.
I have even sent a reminder but they have still not refunded. I ll keep sending them email everyday now so they can do it .

What about yours?

Aibisoye0:
Hi, have u heard anything from TLS concerning the refund?

No, I have not been refunded the 10k

1blessing:
yes i have another money and ready to make a fresh application, but the page is still static on that message. Does it take long before the payment confirmation and do they refund the full amount?

thanks @customized87

Oh, I just read that You didnt cancel your application.

Confirm that the money truly left your account from your bank

If it's no more in your account, then contact the UKVI
My earlier suggestion only counts for if you cancel your application because they normally confirm immediately

1blessing:
Thanks everyone that has contributed to my worries, only God can bless you more. i am so grateful for this platform. i have done as you all have stated. I will appreciate you to show me a breakdown of ideal itinerary according to my income N174000 so as to not over shoot myslef. i have declared that my personal expenses is now N20000. i am left with N154000. please note that i benefit other income which all reflect in my statement of account interest from my investments and my children's investment which i am signatory to., extra bonus N460000, leave allowance N260,000. All are showing in the statement of account. and cover letter from bank as well. The application page is still showing payment pending till now since 9th Oct. Please advice me on these. I appreciate everyone. So sorry for my troubles.

If you cancel your application, refund will be processed within 30 days. My sister's own took 20 days before it was refunded.
So if you can spare another money, do another application and make another payment pending the time they refund you

Suuz:
Thanks!

Hello, please I sent you a PM.
I need some clarification from you. Kindly reply

Aibisoye0:
How long did it take them to refund you?

They said it takes maximum of 28 days. They are yet to refund me

Hello house,

Why is TLS making it difficult to book appointments in Ikeja. I was to pay for assisted service for my brother and I was debited and website said unable to process. I just tire.

This happened when I tried to book appointment for my sis. Your best bet is to re-do the appointment, you will get a message that you would make payment at the TLS centre, you ll be able to choose a date that way. Afterwards, go to contact us and shoot them a message, they will reply with a rebate form to be filled for the processing of your refund.

Donclaracuzo:
Thank you brother. Please, Which one is Flex time and that sign will appear for self service appointment. curious to know please. Thanks bro.

BizBloke:

blossom101:
Hello Justwise and co. Great job here. Well done. Pls, I would like to know about an info pls. My cousin was jailed in uk for 10months in respect of sham marriage, after the 10months she voluntarily signed an immigration document to come back to Nigeria and she was given £1000 or thereabouts as at 2014. She went in with an Msc student visa and she finished her course before she got herself into the aforementioned case.

Here is the question, when can she apply again for uk visa. Is it after 5yrs or 10yrs?

Its attracts a 10 year ban.
And you must make sure you pass the very month or your application will be denied, i.e if you returned to Nigeria on Dec 10, 2014, you should apply only after Dec 10, 2024. If not, your application would be denied

Beehandz:
I have not resolve the "unable to validate order" Sent a mail to TLS and yet to get a response

Please advice how to resolve this

That person has found a way around it. I think the normal.procedure is for you to pay the 10k for the assisted service on the day of your appointment at the venue. So it's a system error that redirected her to the payment page, the money will most likely be refunded.
She simply chose that very time again and she got a mail that she is to bring the 10k to her appointment with a copy of that mail.
That way, if her money isn't refunded, she ll just tell them at her appointment so she may not need to pay the 10k cash again.
Try it that way and let's see

Beehandz:
After successfully paying for Assisted Services on TLS Website and I got a notification that Payment succesful, the page redirected me back to to TLS Website and i saw an error "Unable to validate order"

Meanwhile TLS updated their site yesterday and removed self service from the option due to several complains.

Please what do i need to do for the Unable to valide order.


Also, How can i link my daugther's application to her mum that she's applying with.


My daughter is 2years old. i'm filling her own application. (what do i write in amount she earns (its not accepting NGN 0 or GBP 0)) .
Also amount budget for the trip. I put same details i filled for my self there. (Is this correct?)
Lastly, My brother is an EU/ EEA resident permit holder which means he is my daughter's uncle but[b] ( see 2nd attached)[/b] no uncle in the option of relation in the UK. What can i fill

I know somebody affected by this issue of unable to validate order too. How did you resolve it?

You can choose Other for the relationship
For your daughter's budget, try and estimate how much her ticket will cost and put it. You can put 1 in the budget for accommodation for her if it will not accept 0 (same with how much she earns) Then you explain in the cover letter

giselle237:

Thanks alot, I just got an appointment for 27th September.

Please can anyone give me tips to get an earlier appointment. The earliest self-service date is m seeing is 11th October which is quite far.

How do I get an early date pls?

OfficialMURIC:
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has accused Adeleke University, Ede, Osun State, of persecuting Muslim students in the institution. According to the Islamic human rights organization, the private tertiary institution is serially violating the fundamental human rights of Muslim students in the institution.

This was disclosed in a press statement circulated on Tuesday, 18th June, 2019 by the Director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola.

“Adeleke University is a serial violator of Allah-given fundamental rights of Muslim students. This institution forces Muslim students to attend church on Sundays. It makes it mandatory for students living in the hostel to attend church every Wednesday and Saturday.

“The practice of any other faith on campus except Christianity is banned. Muslim students must not be seen observing Salat. Hijab is a taboo in Adeleke University. Yet all these Islamophobic practices are smartly hidden from prospective students of the institution until they have paid the exorbitant school fees and can no longer withdraw.

“We call on the National Universities Commission (NUC) to come to the rescue of Muslim students in Adeleke University. It is a religious scam. This institution hides under a non-religious nomenclature to ensnare Muslim students into an enclave of religious apartheid.

“In particular, we invite NUC to take a look at the students’ handbook of this institution, especially pages 7, 49, 50, 56 and 60. These pages, to our mind, contain rules that infringe on the religious freedom of Muslim students. As a regulating body, NUC has a duty to intervene in this matter as part of its oversight function on Nigeria’s universities.

“Such intervention is necessary at this juncture to enhance quality control. We remind NUC that man is body, soul and spirit. These three organs must function without hinderance for students to perform maximally. As things stand today, Muslim students of Adeleke University have been deprived of the spiritual component of their humanity. We therefore call on NUC to investigate this issue as a matter of urgency. Religious repression is a potential threat to peace, law and order.

“MURIC is aware that such practices of religious intolerance exist in a few other private universities. We therefore advise Muslim parents and Muslim students to take necessary precaution. They should investigate very well before picking universities of interest.

“Many private universities do not bear Christian names but they pursue Christian evangelical goals. Worse still, they lack the spirit of tolerance. Muslim candidates who have already chosen private universities where they are likely to become victims of Islamophobia are, therefore, advised to apply for a change of university before it is too late.

“Western education was the weapon used by the British colonialists to coerce Muslims into converting to Christianity in the past. The new trick is to use private universities to achieve the same aim or to compromise willing staff of public universities to do the dirty job. It is neocolonialism pure and simple.

“The children of Muslim victims of religious oppression under the colonialists are today the targets of apartheid private universities. Those who oppressed the father when he was in school are bent on persecuting the children. This is the gospel according to the slave-driver. This vicious cycle must be halted at all cost.

“As we draw the curtain, we warn that private and public institutions where Muslim students are denied their Allah-given fundamental human rights are sitting on kegs of gunpowder. We call on NUC to investigate this allegation of religious persecution in Adeleke University, Ede and take appropriate action if found culpable. It will serve as a deterrent for other neo-imperialists masquerading as higher institutions.”

This is coming from people who won't allow you eat openly during their Ramadan in countries like Saudi and UAE even though you are not a Muslim.

Such sense of entitlement! If you can't go by the rules, leave the school, can they allow Chriatians hold church services in Muslim Universities?

Always doing unto unto others what they can't accept.

Hi guys, just to gather as much info as possible (i have read through the thread)

Myself, hubby and 2 year old son will be attending husband's cousin wedding (legit US Citizen) in late June at florida.

we have filled out the DS-160 form and have also picked an interview date for June 10

we are applying from the UK where I'm currently a PhD student, prior to travelling to the UK 7 months ago for study, we all do not have any travel history.

while filling the forms, we stated that the person getting married is sponsoring the trip and we intend to be in the US for 2weeks to also view some tourist attractions.

In order to A's our interview,

1. with the above claim, which is the whole truth, what are our chances?
2. is it okay for her to be the sponsor? if it is what other document do we need from her aside from the invite? If it is not, how do we correct that on the already submitted application
3. Lastly, from our end what documents do we need to go with?


Many Thanks.

The bolded may work against you

GboyegaD:
Good one, hope it is well managed and those who need it are those who it is used for.
I still do not understand why this is news though. Thought Bible says when you give with your right hand, your left hand need not be notified.

People must always talk sha. These men of God do so much more in private and people will still say the only thing they use their money for is to buy exotic cars and build big auditoriums. Now this is given publicity and people still say it's a show off.

You can never please everyone!

cream4eva:
Hello, pls, how do I get a correspondence from John Peter Smith? I’m planning to use them

I don't think they give letters, you walk in and register at the hospital

Hello house, please has anyone who used JPS (John Peter Smith) in Dallas gone for renewal recently? What was the outcome and how was the interview?
Thanks

Grubsk:
Hello everyone,

I really need your help; I have a B1/B2 valid visa which I have use before; am due to travel in February and I sent an email to the embassy informing them that I would be traveling to have my baby and I got the below response from them less than an hour ago. Please I need advise on how to book a second appointment and what to expect. Thanks

“Thank you for your inquiry.

Our records indicate that you applied for a different purpose of travel during your recent interview and/or DS-160 form submission. As your purpose of travel has now changed significantly to include medical treatment in the United States, you will need to return to the Consulate for a second interview. Please note that your visa is not valid for travel at this time.

For your second interview, you should bring all available information related to your planned medical treatment including correspondence with your doctor, the estimated cost of the procedure(s), any receipts showing prepayment for care, and evidence that you have the ability to pay for all costs while in the United States up to and including living expenses for yourself and any dependents. If the purpose of your travel is childbirth, you should also include a detailed birth plan.

If you have received any kind of medical treatment in the United States on previous visits, you will also need to bring evidence of payment of all fees and charges incurred to the interview. You should note any discounts or price adjustments received and indicate the source of these adjustments if known.



Regards,

Lagos Consular Section Chief

Wow! Did you put your passport number in the email you sent to them?

SaladsandChapman:
Please someone should respond to me, I didn't have the right passport photograph when I filled my DS-160, is it compulsory for the photograph to be there or I can take it to the embassy on the day of the interview as stated on the form? Thanks

Its complulsory. You will be turned back if you do not upload it.
