DaveWonder:
Hello House Good afternoon, a quick one please.
I'm going in as a dependent , please I'm I booking a round trip or one way trip? I'm kind of confused it's a 3years visa

You don't need a 2-way ticket if you don't plan to return soon and that won't be a requirement for your entry.

Yemi234:
Okay, TLS just sent a collection email

Great! Congrats in advance.

Yemi234:
Hello everyone, I received an email today from DHL, it says my passport has been picked up from tls and ready for delivery. I hope this means good news. Also worried cause I didn’t get any email from tls that my passport is ready for collection.
I applied for standard visit visa, 2 yrs validity on the 17th of Oct. didn’t pay for priority so I’m wondering why dhl sent the delivery email

Have you checked on TLS portal for the current status?

IamMobisola:
That's the issue. I usually turnover my monthly income/profits with my capital to get more deals because it grows my capital and helps me make more money the following month.

But make the money enter your personal account first. It will show as inflow and even with the origin being from ur business.

Cashmadam:
Congratulations!

Amen

Nairaland family
I just picked up my passport, my visa was approved.
Thank you guys so much for all the info I got here. It was my first time and I didn’t use an agent, got most of the info I needed here. Did my bio last week Wednesday and it was approved yesterday.
I appreciate @giselle, @cashmadam and every other person for their input. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Congrats. If you don't mind, was this for work/official trip?

happygirly:
Yes I did standard ...I'm kinda worried while I haven't received any email yet like other people do.

if it's showing DMC, then you should have received one email saying your application has been transferred. Check ur spam folder and good thing you already know how to check the status by yourself.

i get a job online that pays 800 to 1k pounds thats what i am surviving on... mind you this is a business model i developed in Nigeria that took years of experience.


now am referring to school fees aspect. if i get job now then i will channel that into school fees.

i repeat if you don't have any backup plan or school fees and house rent u can access while u are hear.. please think twice.

I am in my room in Manchester saying this.. thinking of what next to do as quickly as possible to pay second installment

you'll be fine amen!

Estarera:
Good evening guys. So I did my biometrics last week. I checked status today and saw that everything has been completed- just passport picked up that’s left. I got a mail today that my travel document and supporting documents are ready for pick up and also to come along with some documents when I’m coming to pick up. Please what does this mean?
Thank you.

If you didn't get any email about your application not being successful then it's likely ur visa was granted. Congrats in advance.

BItt:
Can't stop others just Because of you're current facing.

It's alright 😂

FM19addict:

I forgot to mention my phone is white.

DaveWonder:

Biko has anyone experienced this. This is my first time applying for visa. I'm worried guys. MY ogas at the top please help me before una guy faint with too much thoughts

If the primary purpose for your trip doesn't have a fixed date that's a few days away, just chill for a week to 10 days.

KillIgbohoN0W:
You will regret this bitterly.
Let one of them volunteer his meter and not you.

I won't say more than this.

I dey suffer something like this now 😂

Prioirty Application suppose to take MAximium of 5 working days ,and i have used this twice in the last 1 year .Dm me on whatapp 08066793981

Why should they DM you? You dey work for UKVI?

Lexusgs430:
Yes, available for immediate pick up......

OK, how can I learn more about the condition of the device/see photos. I'm not based in Lagos.

Lexusgs430:
This is available for ₦135K .......

https://www.nairaland.com/7730967/google-pixel-5a-sale

Is this available in Lagos?

Lexusgs430:
My only advice to you, we have loads of scammers, in the vehicle trade business, to catch out JJC's........

Facebook marketplace is a scammers den....... Be warned....... 🤣😜

Thank you. Does this mean I'm always going to get a better deal by going to a dealership than buying from a private owner?

And if you throw some light on my question about other costs like issuance.

I'm an incoming jjc (my partner is already in the UK).

So, I plan to buy my first car ever once I arrive. I've been checking on Autotrader but definitely know that Nairaland is the best place to get real life advice.

Can I get something affordable (under 3k) used, that won't give me trouble?

Besides the cost of the vehicle, what are some other expenses like tax and insurance (will both cost over 1k per year?)

Cc: Lexusgs430 (I saw one of ur car advice on part 2)


And finally, any general good advice is welcomed. Thank you in advance.

giselle237:
only carry documents there if it is assisted service. If it is self service u don’t need to take them there again if they have all been uploaded

Yeah, I opted in for assisted service. This is not my first time at TLS tho... But thanks for pointing that out.

halimadb:
Thank you

I submitted:
1. My employment contract
2. My payslips for July, August and September
3. Bank Statement
4. Accommodation booking confirmation (just added it because I already had it but I doubt it was necessary/made any difference)

Thank you. Going for my biometric tomorrow. I carry plenty documents including cover letter

halimadb:
Thank you. Got my passport yesterday and was granted the visa.

Congrats, can you list the documents you submitted?

PoliteActivist:
It is a TRV, a visitor visa, said that right at the begining!

Please stay in Nigeria and do your 500K Tech job. Keep applying for remote and in-person roles in North America and even Europe, you'll get it eventually and japa if that is something you fancy. Life as an illegal permanent resident for anywhere no easy oo.

Sola154:
Please sir I have a question
Concerning the house rent and land property
You had with your dependent, since you married this year
I want to ask which name is written on the documents

You're quoting the wrong person. Check well.

PoliteActivist:
But those in the know say I need PR or it's menial "hustle". I'm "upper class" here and cold makes me sick. Why can't things be simple for ONCE?!

If the visa you're going with allows you to work (it's not a tourist visa) you should be able to work tech hubs if you already have the skills and experience.

EzekielBams:
Thank You
For dependent

Submitted marriage certificate we got married this year February.

I did paid calls and e-mail on the 9th of October and I got an email on the 10th that decision has been made.
Got my approval mail on the 11th and passport picked up on the 12.

Thanks a lot. But in our case we don't have a lot of these documents sha.

PoliteActivist:
That's exactly what I wish I could do but I know it's not possible.

If you're a software developer or devops guy, go to Canada. 500k na just 500 USD. For Canada you can easily land a better job remote or in-person.

Kenbert:
