Justwise, the 15 working days i was given by UKVS lapsed yesterday. So I decided to contact them back today and i was told that my case has been treated, I was asked if i receive any email from them and tls office and I told them that i haven't received any email from both. Is it possible that my passport is with Tls office now.

You probably hear from them next week since your application has been processed already. Yes your passport could be there but you still have to wait for the email

Fiwakewa:
My ten years visa was approved.Thanks to God and every one who has contributed to this forum, those who posted their successful story and those who posted their refusal letter. I did it all myself without any agent. I read from this forum that i can apply for ten years visa after my 2years visa expired and i did. My last two visa application i used 3 months statement and it was approved but this one i had access to my 4 months and some weeks statement so I just decided to use it. The only money i spent for this visa was #3,000 and my visa fee only,the 3k ws for printing,scanning and data subscription. If i can do it then you can,just make sure you pray and submit the right document. Prayer without work is useless.

ibraheemolasupo:
Thank you very much guys, my cousin’s visa has been approved for 6 months. It has been God, my friend and everyone on here. May God bless us all.
I pray for the people on the waiting lists to also have a successful story to share with us. He’s going to be with us in the UK tomorrow.

Congratulations !!!

The baby has a Nigerian passport already

Then they can proceed to visa application..apart from the baby's name every other info will come from the parents as if they are applying for themselves. They need to add an explanation note that its a family trip and include their won visa copies

frickyjohn:
Yes boss

I really don't know how to go about that..doesn't sound good though going on holiday with a 2months old baby.

They may start by getting the baby a passport first

Hi Justwise and to everyone in the house. I opted in for keep my passport service when applying for my UK visa and I got the email below from TLS on Monday. I am not currently in the country.

Dear Applicant,

You have chosen Keep My Passport when Applying Service during you visa application. Now your visa application decision is ready, please re-submit your original passport where you submitted your application as soon as possible.

Please make sure the submitted passport:

- is same as the one you have provided copy during you submission appointment

- is not damaged in any way

- has at least two complete full blank pages, without any visa or remark

You can submit your original passport during VAC opening hours at Passport Collection window.
Please make sure you bring a print out of this notification email with you.
Please note that if you fail to provide a compliant passport before latest admission date, your visa application process will be stopped, all fees will not be refunded.

PS. DOES IT MEAN THAT THE APPLICATION HAS BEEN APPROVED IF SUCH EMAIL WAS RECEIVED
Will appreciate every response

Nobody can answer that question accurately here..you just have to go and submit your passport.

Hi Justwise and All,

Can I apply for a visit visa 6 months after joining a new company. I was denied in 2016 based on my previous salary which was 100,000. However, I got a new job in February with a salary above 300,000 and I would like to apply by August.

Your advice would be very appreciated.

Thanks

Sure you can

frickyjohn:
Please oo oga justwise. My brother and wife had their UK visit visa last month but did go because his wife was almost due. Now the baby is here and he wants to apply for the baby too. Kindly advise on how to apply for a month old baby.

Justwise come on bro. Please I need a few assistance myself from that group. Can you please unban me. I'm sorry

Unbanned

danberg:
Thanks Oga Justwise!
Those were exactly the questions my interviewer asked during my interview about an hour ago. She seemed satisfied with my responses and was friendly.. She however didn't say anything about the UK passport after my interview.
Thanks again for your help.

Don't worry yourself about that..that was my experience when i attended my own interview, nothing was said about the passport at the end of the interview but i received the passport a week after the interview.

You can get the assistance from your WhatsApp group you created from that thread

Omega30:
If u are give 2yrs multiple entry,them stamped 6 months at POE, so far he doesn't exceed 6months, I don't think he should have a problem

He will have a problem renewing that visa

Omega30:
I did a little more research for you:


According to the State Department reciprocity page a B visa issued to a Nigerian will likely be multiple entry and valid for 2 years from the date the visa is issued. You can use the visa to enter the US as long as it is valid on the day you enter.

When you do enter the US the immigration officer you see will authorize you to stay in the US for a period of time that has nothing to do with the visa expiry date. From 8 CFR 214.2(b) a B visa holder may be admitted for up to 1 year, but in practice the admission will typically be for 6 months even if this extends beyond the expiry date of your visa. Note, however, that a 6 month admission is not guaranteed; the IO can limit a B-1 entry to time requested at his own discretion, and a B-2 admission can be similarly limited if the IO has good cause to do so and his supervisor agrees. You need to leave the US within the time period you are allowed on that entry unless you apply for an extension.

So the answer might be 2 years or 6 months depending on the question you are asking. The visa you are granted may be valid for 2 years but for any trip you take to the US your stay in the country will be limited to 6 months or less.

Let me ask you this...what will you be doing in US for 6months if you declared that you work in Nigeria during the interview?

Hello boss..

It seems there is no more tracking of decision making in the TLS contact website...

An account was opened for me on the day of biometrics, but I still can't sign in nor activate online by choosing a password.

Should I be worried? How will I track updates when I send docs to Sheffield and my time starts counting?

I also didn't get any emails from UKVI.. just emails from TLS on the day of biometrics that they've sent my visa application to the decision making centre for processing

Also, do i need to write my GWF number on the front page of the online application letter? do i need to write my full names and sign behind the passport pictures? am i attaching it to the front page of the online form where there is a space for passport picture or i just add the passport pictures in the royal mail envelope?

I'm sorry for all my questions but the fact is that this process is tedious..

Thanks for anticipated response.

Yes I think the tracking function is gone

Sadly when you send documents to Sheffield sometimes you will not get an acknowledgement for weeks, so don't worry yourself about that just make sure you sent it to the right address and use special delivery.

I suggest you write the GWF number on the envelope and write the full details on the first page of the package..e.g. GWF number and name of the applicant

Put the passports in a separate envelope and mark it then add it to the bigger package.

Good morning gurus, as a student, i want to apply for a tourist visa,but my sponsor’s new account(UK bank) is only 3months old, can i submit the statement of the account like that(3months),with hopes of being granted?

6months is always the standard, i don't know anybody who submitted 3months, you can give it a go and support it with his payslips

nonoski:
No waiting for their response.

However please is there a way I can request for a refund?

So I can fill a new form, I don't mind waiting 28 days for the refund

I think you should be able to create another account with the application ref number and you can also cancel and request for refund.

danberg:
Thanks for your response Boss.
Yes please, I am a British Citizen. I am applying for UK passport and have been slated for interview tomorrow dv.

I wanted tips on what to expect.

Thanks in advance

Ok i get that now..

Obviously they will ask you questions about your parents , where about you lived in the UK, your history in the UK, things like the school you attended, hospital where you were born etc

Seeyat:
Hello, Oga @justwise

Does it matter if my opening balance is is below #10k in the last 6 months, I've managed to save 1.100000 which includes the rent i get from my tenants or can i submit 5 months payslip?

It doesn't matter..your closing balance matters most

Nativeborn:
I have a salary job in Nigeria and also do freelance mainly

Do you have any paper work to support your income from freelance? If you do then submit them and explain nature of your other source of income.

If the agency you run with the guy in the UK is registered then you also need to submit the paper but if its not registered it will be very difficult to believe your true intention of visiting the UK

If your salary and the money from freelance is not above average then getting a visa will be difficult.

If must explain in details why you are visiting the UK and also a letter of support from your business partner in the UK.

Nativeborn:
Hello everyone! Thanks for all the information shared in this thread. I have been learning from this thread and this is my first time of posting. I intend to visit the UK on visitor's visa in two months time. I need advice on the best process to follow. My English friend and I runs an online creative agency in the UK. He has the business registration and had wanted to add me as a Director. Does adding me as a director to the company give me better chances to apply for a UK visiting visa from Nigeria or a red flag? I haven't been to the UK before but I've been to India, Kenya and Rwanda. I will appreciate your advice and suggestions.

Peace and blessings!

Is that your main source of income?

danberg:
Good job Op and to all the wonderful contributors here.

I know this isn't the right place to ask about passport applications but I feel I can get help here.

I have a UK passport interview coming up tomorrow and need tips on what to expect...weeks ago, I was asked to submit more documents in addition to the ones couriered to UK with my application.

Interview is taking place via video because I am not in the UK. Kindly, note that my son born in London last year has already been issued his British passport (my wife only used my UK birth cert.).

Please, also note that I have applied before, in 1998, and it wasn't successful (was a teenager then).

Your prompt assistance would be greatly appreciated sir.

Are you a British citizen? If yes then who applying for visa this time around?

nonoski:
Yes it's been paid for.
Wanted to choose date for appointment on TLS only to notice the mistake

Have you tried creating another account with the real email address?

lilfreezy:
Hello guys. I made valuable contributions to the German threads by encouraging people to book A even advised people to call the Consulate for verification. But can you imagine that the mod banned me from commenting in the travel section f[b]or dropping the phone number of the Consulate[/b], even deleted my comment . I'm banned till October ending. I believe its not fair as I was trying to help.

You are not a very good lair, you were banned for adverting whatsapp group

profemebee:
Thanks boss..

If flight tickets and e-boarding pass will be ok ..I won't mind that tho

It will definitely not harm your chances of getting the visa

Seeyat:
Hello everyone,

Is it necessary to include a flight reservation when applying for UK visit visa?

You can do that

nonoski:
Good evening @justwise
Please while filling out my family VISA forms (5 of us)
My wife made a mistake on the email address and therefore unable to login with the email.
We have sent TLS a mail notifying them of the mistake.

Please has someone else had a similar issue and how was it resolved.

We all applied for 5 year Visiting Visa and i can forfeit that amount..

Thank you in advance for your response

Is the application completed and paid for?

profemebee:
Sir Lex.. Oga Justwise and my able wise ones

Please i have a question.. want to send my docs to Sheffield on thursday, the 30th of May, 2019...

However, i need to confirm something..

My wife (sponsor) used her Nigerian passport to fly down here in oct2018 for our wedding so her green passport has the entry/exit stamp.

Her British passport has other entry/exit stamps of trips we've been to..

Is it okay to show the entry/exit stamp on her Nigerian passport as part of supporting docs to show she came to naija for the wedding?

NOTE: The online form already asked if she has dual nationality, and i replied Yes to that..

Thanks for anticipated response

Sure nothing wrong with that

Dlaw6578:
Is there way out? What do you think I can do?

I can't think of any way out of it
