MamaGiovanni:
It's been 11 days since I did my biometrics and submitted my documents at TLS.

The TLS tracker shows received by UKVi but I'm yet to receive any email from UKVI decision making center in Sheffield confirming receipt of the application and saying it's been prepared for the ECO.

Other times, I got the email from Sheffield within a few days of biometrics.

Should I be worried? Or could the Christmas break be affecting the process.

Anyone in my shoes?

Hey Justwise, how come there are so many random Canadian threads in this section? Aren't there several dedicated Canadian threads in this section already?

Hello Justwise and other gurus in the house . Pls I need your attention on here, I applied for two years visa although have been to the Uk before with my first 6 month visa . I also applied for my wife and kid we all got the visa . Now this is the issues am facing now cause of work schedule at my office I can’t make it to the Uk with my family so I had to let them go for Xmas on getting to the point of entry they were questioned but at the end of the day they seized my wife and kid passport but they are allowed in to go and sleep wherever they want to . With that opportunity I told them not to come back to Nigeria again . All I need to know now house do you all think I won’t be questioned or can I just go through another airport apart from Heathrow. I need a quick response pls House on what to do

Good morning house
Please I really need advise on my application as I need to reapply again
I applied for UK visiting visa to visit my fiance sometimes in November in which I was refused with the reason stated:
I am not satisfied you have sufficient funds available to cover your cost whilst in the UK without working or accessing public funds and also I am not satisfied that your sponsor can and will provide sufficient for the intended duration you stay in the UK
I actually did the application myself but what I notice was wrong was our statement of account.
I work and I earn N69,000 monthly,I got a reference from my employer,I got my pay slip, I am also a student but I didn't state it in my application so at the time I printed my statement of my account i only have available balance of N70,000 thinking my fiance statement of account and payslip and all his permanent residence document and tax slips and all his document is enough to speak for me
My fiance earn 2300 pounds monthly and this was seen in his offer letter and all but the statement of him i use was having a balance over draw and I stated I will be spending N500,000 for my trip and he will be sponsoring N450,000 while I pay just N50,000 in which I have limit I can I have in my salary account at work.I can't have more than (N200,000 )else I get an approval to get more than that which will involve lot of interrogation
So now my fiance want me to reapply by next year march so I come for Easter and I can build a statement of mine in which my salary account is bank A while I have another personal account that's in Bank B and presently I have just N30,000 in it so he said he will pay some amount of money in my account from now till when I will be going for next submission but I am confused and scared of how the embassy will see the judgement in relation to my salary,and how the money is been build up and also I want to add now that I am a student in my new application,because the initial one I applied I only mention the son I have for the tie I have in Nigeria.
Also please I need a break down of the amount and document i will need to add as a student and working person should have since I will be accommodated in his house and he will be the one sponsoring the trip or is it advisable I get another sponsor here from Nigeria with him to sponsor the trip while I maintain my salary account with the maximum of N200,000 in it
Please I am so scared of rejection now
Please I need a serious advise on how to reapply meanwhile when I was initially rejected a lawyer collected money from me to help do a reconsideration letter which was responded too and I was to reapply but to address the issues raise against me.
I look forward to great response.

I applies for the UK Tier 5 religious worker visa and my application was denied by the entry officer whow claims that the salary I was offered does not meet up with the UK minimum wage regulation system...but it was part of the immif ration law that ant body that works with a charity body, religious organization or community is to be exempted from the UK minimum wage.I have documents that states that my enployer is a charity organization they even wrote a letter along with my employment letter clearly statung all this ...I see no reason my application should be unfairly treated. ..meanwhile the application of my colleagues that we were both offered the same job, we're given the same document and we're to resume the same day was approved and grant entry. Please I'm so confused I don't know what to do

Most foreign businesses do well cause we patronize them more than our own. Is this not a complex?

Naiobi:
@justwise thank you.

We had informed his employers that we wanted maintenance ticked for all 3 of us, however, when the CoS was received (over a month after), it seemed to only cover for him. Although, in the note section of the document, it said maintenance was ticked (for the migrant, which was questionable) and in the section where they were meant to actually tick affirmative, it was N. This didn't look good.

So we raised this with them and they said the note part would suffice, that if it was for the principal applicant alone, it would have said "migrant only".

Sadly, we had not prepared funds for 90days for all 3 of us as we had been assured before that the CoS would cover. We were also running out of time because he had to resume his job (because they had already moved it forward a couple of times before).

Like I said, it was all avoidable as we would have simply not trusted them 100% and set out own maintenance funds aside.

I hope someone learns from this.

Naiobi:
Good evening all, please this newbie needs some help with reagrds to PBS dependent application for myself and child. We had previously applied as a family and my husband's visa was granted but I was refused, which meant automatic refusal for my child too (we made an avoidable mistake).

So, our plan is to reapply, but we have had to start a fresh with the maintenance funds, so our 90days is still counting. However, reading through this thread, @nomad26 stated that he got a letter from his employers which basically says they'll take care of his partners maintenance.

My husband's employer is an A-rated sponsor, so for sure if he requests for the maintenance letter, it should cover for the applicant(s) right? Does it help to explore this route?

Also, with regards to tenancy agreement (part of the documents required) I hope dates on the document won't be an issue, for instance if my husband moves into a property a few days or weeks to our application (cos you never know with these people).

And lastly, I'd appreciate tips on other supporting documents we can add when application, just so we don't have issues again.

Cc @lexusgs430 @justwise @nomad26 and anyone else who can advice on this.

Many thanks in advance.

Hey guys...
Sorry, I know my questions are becoming annoying, but I got just this one.

I m in Australia at the moment, but filled and submitted my application as though I am in Nigeria because I will be traveling there in a few days time. So I answered the question "where are you applying from?" as Nigeria because I didn't want to get the Australian options for biometrics. I want to do my biometrics in Nigeria.
Now I m seeing that I could still have filled it as Australia, yet select Nigerian biometric locations.
I m not sure of the gravity of thiis error. I am thinking of cancelling the application and submitting a fresh one. Or should I explain the error in the cover letter? (biometrics date is still on the 28th)
.
Pls, your advice is highly needed. Thanks everyone

Darla:
Thank you sir @justwise

Took 14 working days from the day I did my biometrics.
God bless you and Merry Christmas!

BrownCarton:
@justwise
Pls with regards to my enquiry. I am thinking of making my application here in Australia before I travel to Nigeria. Is it possible that one could apply for a visit visa, but since I will be traveling, I will take my passport alongside with me, then submit only copies for my appointment and return back for the final decision with the passport?

Sohoo123:
please I was able to get a date for myself but I couldn’t get any for my little son. Can he use my date because we are applying together? Thanks

@justwise. I have been unable to secure an appointment date on the UK VISA website. The dates are simply not highlighted and therefore not clickable. I checked both DEC., 2018 and Jan., 2019. The only available date was 21st of DEC in Abuja, which unfortunately I can not make.
Kindly give any advice on how to proceed.

Regards
