Hello,

Please I need some urgent help and apologies if it has been asked before.

How do I make the combined ihs surcharge, U.K. Spousal visa fee and priority payment using a gtb Naira MasterCard if the limit is just $300.

Is there another payment method for making larger payments?

Thanks

tunderule2016:
They try to complete that 60 days... so am sure u will hear something before friday IJN. i think u should call, it can not cost u more than 2 to 3 thousand naira. This 35k thing you talking about if i can remember properly they were referring to Tier 2 holders.... dont worry yourself too much about it .. because when you get this 2.5 years visa, u will still need to apply for another 2.5 years... so abeg leave that matter of 35k...

waiting for ur good news oo...

Thank you for replying
This is the email, successful appeal letter

The decision to refuse your application has been overturned and your visa will be issued.

Your visa will be printed at the British Embassy, Rabat, by UK Visas & Immigration. We are not able to print your visa using the original application form that you submitted due to technical reasons, so in order for us to be able to print your new visa, you will need to do the following:

Go online and complete a new Visa Application Form at the following link: https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/home/welcome.
You need to complete a new form in order for a new GWF number to be generated that will enable us to print your visa - this is a technical workaround.

As part of your original application, you were required to make a payment for the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS). This payment was refunded to you following the refusal of your entry clearance. As this decision has been overturned, and you are to be issued with a visa, you must now ensure that this payment is made again. Please make your IHS payment after completing your new application form.

When you have completed your new application form and made your IHS payment, please make an appointment to resubmit your biometric information (fingerprints etc) at the Teleperformance Centre. On the day of your appointment, please take one (1) copy of your application form, two (2) passport-sized photos, and your current passport to the Visa Application Centre in Rabat. The address can be found in this link: https://uk.tlscontact.com/ma/RBA/page.php?pid=center_info

To avoid paying visa fees online, select the option: Pay at the VAC. The team at the Teleperformance Centre will be aware not to charge you for this new form.

Please also provide a new TB certificate from an approved establishment. This requirement is necessary since your previous certificate is no longer valid. For further information, please visit the following website: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tuberculosis-test-for-a-uk-visa-clinics-in-morocco

We have informed the Visa Application Centre that they should expect you.

Once you have submitted your new Visa Application Form, the information will be forwarded to the appeals department in the UK where the original category of visa that you applied for will be issued. Once your visa has been printed at British Embassy, all documents will be returned to the Visa Application Centre, who will contact you when they are ready for collection.

Should you have any questions, please contact us via our website: https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-outside-uk

PLEASE BRING A PRINTED COPY OF THIS EMAIL WITH YOU TO THE TELEPERFORMANCE CENTRE.

Kind regards

@justwise

hello just to share the good news with you that the decision to refuse husband's visa has been overturned today and he has been asked to send in his passport and TB test certificate. Thanks so much for your help and advise. You are doing a great job on here. you would not believe is thanks to you that I gathered the courage to contact my MP as my solicitor refused that it was not a good idea to contact MP and I did all my paper work my self and sent to the Home office and the MP.

thanks so much I am so over the moon. Honestly some of these solicitors are goats just wanting to eat peoples money because he wanted my case to go to court so he could represent me and make money but I have a law qualification and worked with a law firm for years so did my paper work alone. they got paper work two days ago and overturned the decision today. thanks once more and may god bless you

Visa granted and collected.thank God.
To all my fellows sisters and bros hang in there ,relax cos God is in control

zinfly:
For all those waiting it will be all over in exactly 12 weeks. For those about to apply, do yourself a favour and pay priority. the wait is gut wrenching. I cant wait to celebrate with you all. God bless

tunderule2016:
Yes they want to justify it .. and also... if it is settlement there is BRP factor.... they kind of consider it ...there is NEW BRP rules for overseas applicants. Here is the international rollout schedule for biometric resident permits for overseas applicants for visas of longer than 6 months. Once a country goes live you will receive a temporary vignette in your passport which gives you 30 days from the visa issue date to travel to the UK and you have 10 days after arrival to collect your BRP from a designated post office.

Here is for 2015 i will try and search for 2016 later.. but they will be similar though

Oh really thanks for the info although am having problem viewing the links here....please in what sense are they considering BRP along with 12weeks. Pls let me know am just curious but patiently waiting.

tunderule2016:

tunderule2016:
Hello my lexus friend...

tunderule2016:
Between now and 11th week you will hear something ... and if you do not ... then you are one of the people that do not require interview... I have seen a lot of people who did not get interviewed and received their visa.... stay positive sister... it is well.... less than 2 weeks to go ...

lashani01:
hello all happy sunday,

i just wanted to find out does the 12 week (non priority application) wait start once the application has been submitted online or does it start after the biometric appointment. really confused

thanks

tunderule2016:
Happy sunday ..... something i have come to realize is that it seems they only ask ppl around the London area to come for interview... I might be wrong though ... but from previous experience and researches; i noticed most interviews has been done by ppl in England (i.e. london).

I have not heard someone in wales, or Northern Ireland or scotland say they called them in for interview... Have a lovely and blessed sunday ... Out to church
