Dear Lexus and Justwise, I didn't give an update of my application and all that after my unfortunate incident. I am currently in the UK with my baby and husband, Leeds to be precise. Been here since February 8.

I applied again as you advised as my husband was now on a tier 2 with his COS and letter of maintenance from his work place. Funnily enough, we forgot to include marriage certificate and during the wait I almost died. We used priority got the visa about 8 working days later.

This time we didn't go through London Heathrow. We used KLM via Amsterdam to Leeds. At the airport the immigration officer asked if I had been to UK before and I downloaded everything to him. He detained us for a while to go check inside. Came back and allowed us in. My husband almost died of heartattack when he saw every one coming out of the airport with no sight of us. Eventually came out and all of our worries over.

We have collected our brp and even registered with a hospital. Did baby's dedication recently. I want to thank everyone that replied during my trying time. I actually thought my travel was over. Husband and I even talked about him moving back to Nigeria if it was no longer possible for me to join him. In all I give praise to God for everything.

Hi all,
Please i need your advise.
In November 2017 my wife and i submitted settlement visa application-spouse. Am British and my wife is Nigerian.My wife had her biometrics taken and her passport collected in TLS. She asked the person who collected her passport "what of the TB test and english language proficiency certificates"? Which she had with her on the day she went to give her biometrics, she was told its ok and she didn't submit it. We thought all was ok since it was stated in UK.gov website that the 2 documents be gotten from accredited offices (British Council and TB Clinic) and we thought that the offices will correspond them to Homeoffice. I submitted all required documents required payslips (earning more than 18,600 Pounds),evidence of where i live and work, etc.
On 14th February 2018, my wife was asked to come to TLS to pick up her passport and documents only to get there and find out she was refused the visa. The letter stated that she was refused on the basis that she did not submit the two documents-TB and english certificate, but all others required are ok ie from my own side. Receiving this she made an appeal for the refusal to be looked into by First tier tribunal UK. She was told that she has to wait till 26th June 2018 for it to be looked into. No hearing date has been fixed yet.
I tried to get the 2 documents back so I can reapply using priority, Tribunal said they forwarded the hard copies to Homeoffice, its only photocopy with them. Homeoffice said is should contact Tribunal that since i submitted the documents to Tribunal they will have my documents. Now this is very confusing.
I wanted to know why the long wait till 26th June 2018?
How else do i do to collect me documents so i can reapply using priority since both tribunal and Homeoffice are not responding?
Are we going to wait till the appeal is ready to give a verdict?
What other advises can i get?
I was asked to ask for Justwise or any other capable, able person here in this forum by people who had used this forum and some who are in this forum.
Please awaiting responses.Thank you

Good afternoon my beautiful people in the house, Lexusgs430 I hail sir and my fellow brothers and sisters. Please, I am here again to ask a few questions as regards my son's visa application to the UK. My husband and I are presently in UK but we relocated from Saudi Arabia and my 6hr old son is schooling in Nigeria as at when we applied in Saudi Arabia in February. Presently, we are planning to apply for his dependent visa by July which is the end of the school year. Please, how do we go about this? My husband is d main applicant, d[b]o we have to keep another maintenance fund for both my husband nd my son or my son alone?[/b] Also, what supporting documents are we to submit at Ikeja on his behalf or are we send the supporting documents from our present location in London to sheffield? Please, I need more explanation on this as we don't seem to see any full explanation about this on the gov.uk site. Thank you and God bless u all sirs and mas.

Good Afternoon All! I have been a secret follower for over 2 years! The information here has been so helpful. I am British and my hubby is Nigerian.

We submitted yesterday at Ikeja. The only thing they collected was his passport.... Am I correct in thinking that I should include the paper application in the documents to send to Sheffield?

Please oo, how many working days do I have to submit the documents in Sheffield?

Many thanks!

OLAREWAJU1705:
Please house, kindly assist me concerning these questions I need to know?

(a). What is the minimum amount in naira or pounds my sponsor(father) can has in his account for me to use as statement of account.
(b). When is 28 days will start counting? is it after visa interview and application?
(c). Within that 28 days, I know he cannot withdraw from the money, but can he adds to the money, as in deposit? cos it is business account, can he adds to it as deposit?

Hello All,

Please i need some clarification in case there's anyone who has had similar experience in the past. I applied for a uk visa and did my biometrics about 3 weeks ago. I got a mail from SHEFO about a week later saying my application had been received. Today, i got another email stating the following in one of the paragraphs: [b]'Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward and we will be unable to decide your application within our customer service targets. We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make a decision as soon as possible'
[/b]
Is there anyone familiar with this phrase and what it may mean? I hope this does not mean that my passport will be held on to till God knows when as i need to make another application for a very important training.

Your views and comments will be appreciated.

Kaleydd2000:

Go to German student Visa thread below to source out information about studying in Germany.
https://www.nairaland.com/3941544/general-german-student-visa-enquiries/325

8,700€ is the amount for a blocked account for one year which is roughly equivalent to N3.8m, based on current exchange rate. I think you should be able to secure admission if your grade point is above 2.9.

Good luck.

Blessings bro, please i sent you a PM. Kindly reply

Kingsley1000:
it's worth it if you eventually succeed in getting to europe but note that the journey is a herculean task,out of 100people that will venture into it,about 30%will make it,40%will be end as slaves,25%will die and 5% will be wanderers in libyan territory.those 30% that made it are doing great in their respective european destination,menial jobs,some has already gotten a legal base(resident/work permit)in the country.IT'S ALL ABOUT LUCK

just no reasons, just like, advice from a novice. that is why i had to bring it up here for a professional advice. If i should, how?

Kaleydd2000:
Thanks for your response prof. As per cost, I don't know exactly but I know for tickets and visa fees, it should cost us like 1million, not sure though.
Yes, u told me about pension b4, but I think dat should be part of ties to Nigeria. However, like how much do u suggest we have in our accounts? Your guidance / suggestions will be appreciated.
Can you list the cost of this trip for a family of 3? Maybe that will give you an idea about what I'm talking about.

Pension fund is a future investment and not something you can withdraw immediately for family need.

wxyz1:
No, i have not and i was advise not to do so. Please do you advice otherwise

Please i need reponse

Anione:
Hi, please I need an answer to my concern. My wife has a British stay but was brought back to Nigeria by her aunt few years ago, without informing anyone that it will be invalid if she stays longer than 2 years outside the UK. Please I care to know if there's something that can be done with the stay document to get her back to UK? She recently found the photocopy of the stay document, is there a way forward for her. Thank you for your good work.

Aquaman84:
@ justwise and house, can I include my pension bank statement of my previous company which sums up to about 1.3million to show ties to Nigeria? My new company hasn't started paying my pension yet, or its not necessary to include that??
