Picked up yesterday and vignette is 3 Oct till 2 November.
Thanks to all gurus in the house, Lexus God bless for replying my post then.
I think it took 40 days from the day of Bio.
Was removed from the uk in 2014, but no criminal records though. If you have similar issues, get your doc right, no qualms.

The good thing is that your wife came to Nigeria to get married to you, please focus on meeting every single requirements and state clearly what happened with your immigration history.

Nobody here can tell you truthfully what your chances are, like i said just focus on getting it right and hopefully your application will be a positive one

@ justwise, I so much appreciate your time to reply me. God bless you real good. Thank you.
I will put everything together and seek more advice as we proceed.

Hi everyone, kudos to the likes of justwise, Lexus, and other gurus in the house. I've been following this thread for while, and I appreciate ur inputs in the success stories so far.
I need your brotherly advice, pls . I traveled to the UK in 2012, on a visiting visa with help of an agent. I had issue at the port of entry cos the lady that invited me was called and she didn't pick up. After the long hour delay, the eco asked if I had anyone to put up with in the UK, as a novice I said no. I called the agent in Nigeria and he arranged a lawyer, I spoke with her and I was taken to an hostel... The lawyer told me, if things get out of hand I should claim asylum to buy time since I wasn't allowed to go out, ehich i later did. Some Nigerians in the hostel gave me a clue on how to go about the asylum... A month after I was given an accommodation. I Couldn't work but I worked as a volunteer in an org. I ve a partner whom I met there and all is well. My asylum was refused and asked to leave UK. My partner was pregnant that moment and all efforts to stop my removal was futile. Well, I was removed in 2014 and after the fight for my stay we lost the 6months old pregnancy too. While on the plane, one of them (HO)told me I shouldn't feel bad cos if she can come home and marry me I will be back before I know it.... We are married now planning to process the application. Cos in the letter they gave me the HO stated that if I apply as a partner or as a father of a British child banned is not applicable to me. My lawyer said the same, that i should have apply all this while. what are the chances Pls advice
I forgot to add that we meet all the requirements too, British, finance and accommodation.

@ justwise, and the rest of the house pls help
