Visa alert

Skilled workers visa

Submission date: June 10th

Biometrics: June 21st

Decision made: July 4th

Just had the longest 8 weeks of my life thanks to UKVI and TLS Ikeja

Oladapoajayi:
Hello
I submitted my application for skilled worker visa June16, my application has been at DMC ever since and I haven’t heard from them
Please who knows what I can do?

Did you do paid calls and email?

Mine was June 22nd and I only got it back yesterday.

Please pressure them. 9 weeks is too long.

Aquuare:
Good news coming for us all soon

Did you eventually get back your passport please?


I’m in a similar situation, decision made since 4th July for a 21st June bio, no collection email yet.


I’m exasperated.

ponmbe:
Sincerely, i really dont know the reason for long delays after decision has been made. I applied for skilled worker visa, had my biometrics on 13th july, iv made a paid call and numerous paid mails. i was told a decision was made as far back as 20th July, what is now causing all this delays??

I was told to wait 10 working days for VAC to send collection mail, i did and didnt receive anything, i then called and i was told my application has now been escalated. Do escalation really work or its just a placebo because im just so confused right now.

Mine has been made since 4th July, no collection email.
Biometrics was 21st of June. Had to have my start date pushed forward.

Fishlink:
21st is still early though but notwithstanding, you will get a decision soon. My wife is the main applicant and we did our biometric on 14th at ikeja tls and on 21st we made a paid call which decision has been made already. Waiting for it to move to VAC

You mean 14th June right?

Jblogs38:
Hello Heeyhun, have you heard from the embassy now, I also did my biometrics on the 21st and have not heard back. Hoping to hear from you. Cheers.

I haven’t heard back. What visa did you apply for? Healthcare? Mine is IT related

Kaylaonah:
As far as it carries the unique UKVI number, it's accepted

Thanks a lot for this.

My solicitor also says it’s okay.

I have a very crucial question, is it possible to use a TB test certificate from an home office approved hospital in another country if I am going to have my biometrics in Nigeria?

This particular thread is one of the reasons I don’t come on nairaland anymore....it used to reek of bigotry and sadly, it still reeks.
Someone’s said African food smells and some of you are being tribalistic about that. Tueh. A black man is a black man’s plague.

Are you people dumb? Meals will have a certain kind of odour, particularly when it’s not indigenous to you. Asians/South Asians use a lot of fermented fish and soy sauce, it doesn’t smell great to me, but they love it...the same way we love iru or ogiri.

If every homeowner discriminates against tenants based on what they cook, I wonder how Africans will get homes to live in the UK. Some of you know nothing about getting discriminated against based on sampling a few people in a population...it hurts and it is demeaning.

In Asia, some people hold their breath when they walk past Africans because they feel we smell, or they keep a distance from you when they manage to talk to you. They don’t care if you’re Kenyan or Igbo, you are all black people and you smell.

Africans are never united....and it is annoying. A misinformed white person says something and ya’ll wag your little tails and diss yourselves based on their nonsense comments.

Nairaland should be a place where we are in unison, foreigners come on this page and they see the hatred amongst you guys. People that don’t love themselves expect to be treated well when they leave the shores of the country. I feel so sorry for you bigots.

Hello guys! I’m having difficulty with uploading my passport on the website...it’s not showing where to upload it and I can’t get past it.

Kindly help!!

I actually just tried this but it didn't go well at all.�

why is he the only one folding his hands

I prefer what she got sef

Cutehector:

I'm good. Trust you are well yourself

Cutehector:
hi.. This is your future husband.

You sure know how to take your time...don't you?

Tolams16:
Nairaland you guys really need to upgrade, this post is almost 3days old and you guys re jst posting it now. This is like the 5th time i am reading something i already came across 2 or 3 days ago on other platforms. This is stale news on ur frontpage as the latest post. NAIRALAND YOU GUYS NEED TO UP YOUR GAME. and also try to change the nairaland interface, technology has really gone beyond you.

Thanks for shaking this table.

Nairaland needs to upgrade abeg, the interface is shitty...it was cool in 2011 but this is 2018 already. Several stale news on the frontpage. I used to love Nairaland.

When will our yeyebrities diffentiate btw am & I am?

Self-acclaimed best-selling author at that.

1. I hate juice, five alive, caprisone, boost, anything juice

2. I hate pineapple

3. When I write stories or imagine scenarios, they always have to be scary, morbid or queer. Not like I'm a fan of horror movies, I just have a very active imagination in that aspect.

4. I bite my nails, especially when I'm nervous

5. I hate to talk on phone sometimes and will deliberately not pick up calls because I don't feel like it, doesn't matter who the person is.

6. I hate to lose or fail. This is bad because I end up not trying out things, applying for opportunities because I'm scared of rejection

Glo. 2k5. 8g. 60days.

How true is the 60days please

Am I the only one who thinks dolls are creepy?

Tolexander:
Good

But which one of the two guys is the Fulani herdsman and which one is Sam Loco's son.

Cos I can't really get the difference between the two.

Nairaland.
one of the reasons I love nairaland. There's always gonna be someone that speaks your mind
