Please, is the visa processing time guidelines on the website of UKVI starting from the date of online application or the date of biometrics or the date it was received by UKVI? Thanks

Hello Toksys,

1. She should have a passport in the name that she uses exclusively for all purposes. Married couples are not required to have the same surname.
2. It will be easier, cheaper and quicker for her to utilize the ESTA program. Learn more here: https://www.cbp.gov/travel/international-visitors/esta

Hi guys,

Justwise and house

Please I made a tier 4 application which was refused, While waiting on the decision to be overturned, my ihs fee was refunded. To God be the glory the refusal decision was overturned and I was notified of this by a phonecall from british deputy high commission at Walter carrington telling me the outcome and I was told to bring in my passport to the embassy. However after submission on the 26th of May, I am yet to get a phonecall telling me to come and pick up my passport with visa and my course resumes on the 26th of June.

Please how long does will it take before I get my visa? Does anyone have similar experience? How do I repay the nhs(ihs fee)?.

So, I'm the lady the mum was refused and banned for 10 years under false misrepresentation last month
And I went out of my way to get documents from a UK lawyer stating she owns the business name.
An affidivat claiming she owns the business name
A letter from CAC stating the shes the true owner of business name
A letter from her bank stating she owns the company and they opened an account for business in her name

I'm so happy to tell everyone that she GOT her Visa today with a letter.

Justwise,please my wife is applying for her settlement visa as well but she told me that the immigration lawyer she was using advised her to write the IELTS exams.Am just confused with the whole thing.Do you have any link to this?

You may need to prove your knowledge of the English language when you apply.

You can prove your knowledge of English by passing a test at an approved test centre. You need to get at least CEFR level A1.

Check the current list of approved tests and test centres. This list changed on 6 April 2015 - tests on previous lists won’t be accepted.

Alternatively, you can give evidence that you have an academic qualification that both:

was taught or researched in English
is recognised by UK NARIC as equivalent to a bachelor’s or master’s degree or PhD

Justwise Good Morning. God bless U with all the good work ur doing here. I say a BIG AMEN ooo. Jsutwise, so no need to get d IELTS since I have a B.sc certificate right? I already looked up the list of documents I saw on a page here (dec. 2015) that d person used to apply. Please, Justwise I just want to know the current fees for: application, IHS and priority. Also will I need my statement of account for d application?

dday101:

Good Morning Everyone,

I just got this important information my wife which her lawyer friend just told her.

The lawyer said the Home office is debating to increase the financial requirement from £18,600 to £34,000 at the moment. He said this is the case going on in the Home office behind the scene.
Please anybody wanting to apply for Spousal visa should do it fast cause this British government are trying hard to cut down immigration.

please help...
hello and how r you ? i just stumped online on this forum and wish i can ask you my question pls
i am currently in the US, a foreign national from nigeria and me and my USC girlfriend are been planning on getting married here in the US, but just recently i checked online for her background, i saw things like Traffic Crime, Murder, Petty theft, Murder, Aggravated robbery, all these appears on her background check which i conducted.. With all these crimes committed, am i good and safe to go ahead with marrying her ? With all these crimes committed, will she be able to file for me for AOS and Greencard ? I need your advise pls

LagosNIV:
Approval of the application is determined by another agency, USCIS. We simply do the interviews at the Consulate. I can tell you that they will run a criminal background check on the petitioner and it can play a part in whether or not the petition is approved, but I don't know much more about it than that.

As far as being safe... Just don't make her angry I guess.

Lexyp:
Did you mean i should withdraw my application ?

I am an employee with a monthly salary of N250,000 directly credited to my account on a monthly basis but equally collect rent from my late parents inherited acres of land. The rent due is credited into my salary account virtually every week. I have the lease agreement prepared by our family lawyer where our names( junior sister and i ) are stated as the beneficiaries of the payment.

I have the following to submit with my application:
1. Employment letter
2. Six months payslip duly stamped by my company
3. Tax clearance card I obtained before joining the company. Direct assessment is written on the card but tax is monthly deducted from my salary on a monthly basis.
4. Marriage certificate and family pictures
5. Wife and son UK visa data pages
6. Property receipt jointly owned by wife and I
7. Six month statement of account with a closing balance if N1.3m but well operated for over 6months.
8. Bank Reference
9. Introduction letter from my company
10. Additional information explaining other income to my account, itinerary, budget analysis for 7days as £1000
12. Lease Agreement
13. Rent Receipt.

Kindly help me review and comment.

Hi every1 ..dear justwise..thanks for your great help.
As per my previous topic-
Uk vist visa refused due to my shoplifting offence which I missed out to mention in application while applying for UK visa.
I emailed VFS about my refusal and below is the reply from Visa office.
●Thank you for contacting the UK Visas and Immigration International Enquiry Services.
With regards to your enquiry, please read through your refusal letter as it
will state whether you have the right to appeal. If you do not have the
right to appeal then you will need to apply for a new visa on the visa4uk
site provided that you have not been issued with a ban.

Justwise plz advice as per refusal letter do I have right to appeal? Plz advice what next best I can do .

Cool. Just heard about Kodi from my colleagues last Friday. It seems to be good but at the same level of legality as other streaming sites.
NB: Justwise, Disguy you can use vipleague.is

I started looking at UK immigration laws recently(as it pertains to my visa type i.e Tier 2) and I seem to have found a minor "loophole". Waiting to hear your tip on this

Lexyp:
I have gone there myself and they contact them directly from the submission centre and their relpy is under reconsideration,I just don't know if there is anything left I can do.

7Alexander:
Hello guys, somebody should please help me out. I changed my surname, recently, hence, the surname on my B.sc certificate is different from the one on my recently acquired passport.
If this will be a problem, please what do I do? Justwise

I noticed that too on the site i use, even some footie match

seems the right holders are really going after these websites to grind out every penny for TV subscribers
about BBC offloading F1- one of the reason no one without a cognitive reason should pay for TV license I mean if they really want to save money they should scrap BBC4 and half of their radio stations altogether

DisGuy:
@Justwise and crew

you posted some sports streaming website some time ago, please help a brother out


missing out on live F1 this season, this Euro2016 is a bit slow and diplomatic for my liking
