Hello, pls I submitted my app on 18th April and on 8th May I got a mail saying my application is not straightforward. I'm anxious because my date of travel is on Friday and I haven't heard from them. Hope the delay won't exceed my planned travel date

Pls I want to apply for a 6 months work visa from Nigeria, do I need a tuberculosis test? From UK visa and immigration website, they stated that tb test is needed from people applying for visas that last longer than 6 months. Since mine is just a work visa for 6 months, I don't need a tb test right?

Hello @justwise and co., I submitted my visa application online last week for Tier 2 General visa application. The agency recruiting me paid for my IHS but the payment has not reflected on my online page.
Please can I cancel the application? And if I do will the money be refunded back to the agency?

Thank you for contacting the UK Visas and Immigration International Enquiry
Service.

We have received the following update from the Decision making centre on
your escalated case.

'Your passport is held securely by the British Deputy High Commission in
Lagos until we have advised them that a decision has been completed on the
application. Your application is still being processed but we are unable to
confirm when a decision will be made.'

pls my people whats the meaning of this?

Please I will like to know the reason behind your assertion that my friend can't apply for a Canadian Study Permit while on a tourist visa in the Uk? To shed more light to his situation, he already got a police certificate from Nigeria and he communicated with Vfs UK about it and they said so long he has a residential address in the Uk, he told them he will be using his friend's(Host) residential address and they said that is fine. The only question they could not respond to was the issue of using a medical done from IOM in Nigeria since the UK has its own accredited physicians and that was the reason for my initial query which I will really appreciate gurus and anyone in the house with knowledge to share. @Justwise, @Ausinepee @MichV @Mikymiko. Thank you.

Hi, Good morning...

A friend of mine just got this job offer in canada(contract). Please he wants to know if he is meant to apply for visa on his terms or the company would probably send a link or something because in their offer letter,it was stated that he should send his signed agreed terms and also send his passport photograph,visa size 45mm + 33mm(this was what got him confused). If he is to go ahead to apply on his own please how will he do it(the link) or any other seamless way of going about it (procedures). They agreed to give him a free air boarding ticket also.

Secondly how genuine can this be although he applied and online interview was conducted(written).

Thank you in advance

Someone please answer

Its even funny that the bloggers are creating awareness ignorantly when we should be demanding good economic policies from our own government. If they decide to start charging $210 because of the pressure the exchange rate brought, it will be the US embassy's gain and our own loss.

femi321:
In my opinion what they are raising awareness for doesn't make sense, Nigeria charge US citizens about $210 for visa fee while they charge us $160, if they use the rate of #400/$, it is still less than when they charge us the equivalent of $210 at #385/$. This awareness might result in them charging us the normal $210 and I am sure no one will be able to say anything them

Pls JUSTWISE, what truly does this mail clarify? HAVE SOMEONE RECEIVED THIS MAIL AND STILL HAVE HIS VISA APPROVED? I submitted my documents and did my biometric on 18th April and had my interview on 20th April and was now waiting for decision to be made by UKVI until I got this mail below today.


Thank you for applying for a UK visa. Your visa application has been received and is under consideration. We aim to process non settlement applications within 15 working days (unless you have opted for the Priority Visa service), and settlement applications within 60 working days.

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.

We will write to you again if there is any change to this. Please do not attend the Visa Application Centre until you have been advised that your application has been decided and that your passport is ready for collection.

Kind Regards,

Sheffield Visa Section

Damn! Your agent must have used fake documents with or without your consent. You definitely need to arrest them if it is without your consent. Sorry man.

The only option left is to challenge them to court. but you are likely not to win the case.

All the best, bro!

But, I can't get the company bank statement because the other signatory is not around, can't I explain that the other signatory is not around and make use of my personal bank statement alone and company's documents and company's previous issued cheques?

Don't you know that UK operates Right hand drive?

Tunnyz7:
See whether do am I do u or do dem I do dem. The official rate ought to be used. Nobody is saying its not 160 here and 180 there. Why would they use unofficial value. 400 to a dollar by the embassy is so not fair on Nigerians

argob44:
mu'mu cant u see its photoshopped? there is no right hand vehicle in uk...uk is not china... the man on suit is the one driving

If you dont know that the Royal's lifestyle is daylight "thieving", I don't know.

Don't be disturbed by the fact that their economy is strong, they have been thieving way before the word thief was invented.

jagugu88li:
The commentors in this thread want us to measure up to the queen inorder to enjoy our hard earned salaries. I wonder

Can't Africans just stop the silly comparison........as if the Queen has worked for what she has. We wake up every morning to go to work unlike her, who has wealth as a "given birth right". Now why wont we spend our salaries as we please. Auu!

Dont mind them

@justwise and ekpotek

Please I need your advice.
I intend going to the UK next year for my masters studies, and my friend is the one sponsoring me. Everything from tuition, accommodation, and all.

Heard if it's not a family member sponsoring you, that might be a problem. Is that true?

It's a one year program, how much do I need to have in my own account?

Please advise on how to proceed.

Thanks alot.

LagosismyHome:
using 198 as directed by CBN. I should complain about it

Are they not governed by CBN so if they are using the rate as directed. Why should anyone complain...... Is that a favour done or what they are expected to do..... na wa. That why people get away with anything in naija . When you expect them to use market rate and go against CBN directive

LagosismyHome:
What has reciprocity got to do with exchange rate used ...... the fee is fixed yes at $160 based on "do me i do you ".... yes that not in debate .

What i been going on about is the exchange rate used cannot be higher than even black market

LagosismyHome:
The UK embassy charges £322 for student visa . .... Each embassy can fix the rate they decide no problem but the exchange rate used is usually official rate not a rate picked from a hat

Nonimmigrant visa applicants from certain countries*/areas of authority may be required to pay a visa issuance fee after their application is approved. These fees are based on the principle of reciprocity: when a foreign government imposes fees on U.S. citizens for certain types of visas, the United States will impose a reciprocal fee on citizens of that country*/area of authority for similar types of visas.

LagosismyHome:
It is not the dollar value that is in question but the exchange rate used that is in question.... the embassy should not used an exchange rate even higher than black market .....
