Thank you

Ray2018:
Thanks guys, got my visa today

Congratulations

Is it possible for a dependant to arrive the UK before the main applicant. Will there be a challenge at the POE

Also if one patent is traveling with a child ( less than 2years old) what are the likely questions he would be ask at POE and what documents does he need to show.

Thanks!!!

Thanks kagari, I tried checking the flight but couldn't find it, l kept seeing the date is not applicable. What could be the issue?

kagari:
i think you would get better feedback if your visit either of their offices in lagos or abuja

.
Hi Kagari,
I couldn't reach you via email.
I need a cheap one way flight for one adult to Edinburgh Scotland on 16th October.

Thanks

My TLS mail has been updated to Decision made, is it possible to check if my passport is ready for collection at VAC?

Your passport should be ready for collection tomorrow morning.
As soon as Decision made was thicked for me, I started going to TLS, I was at their gate when collection mail came in which was few minutes before 4pm.

Hello Mimi, Thank you for all your efforts at answering questions on this forum. I really appreciate.

I would love to ask a few question regarding the dependant visa,

1. For the wedding and family photos, should it be hard copies (like normal picture albums) and is 10-15 okay?

2. For the emails and watsaap chat, should it be just chat/email logs or should I print the chats/emails themselves. Also, assuming I have like watsapp chats for 9months, do I print screenshots of the 9 months chats and paste in a single ms document or just print the screenshot in different documents (this will make me have too many documents to submit)

3. Is it neccesary to submit utility bills showing we have been living together? As I and my husband stay in his official residence that came with his appointment, we don't pay bills, the company pays all the bills so the bills are in the companies name. If utility bills are necessary, can I submit the companies utility bills and explain this in my cover letter?

I am applying separately from my husband, he's already in UK

Hi Joyeeeee.!
1.yes hard copy of pictures on A4 sized paper, you can print multiple pictures on a page (coloured)
2. Your whatsApp chat can be printed through your email on A4 paper.

Ray2018:
I called UKVI to get an update on my application and I was told it was approved on 2nd October but I’m yet to get a mail or message on collection. My TLS portal is yet to be updated too. Has anyone experienced this situation before and what’s the best way to go about it?

I had a similar issue, 2 working days after I called UKVI TLS portal was updated to decision made, I immediately left for TLS just as I was leaving with my passport, I received the pick up mail.
Your passport should be ready for collection by Monday or say Tuesday

Testimony time!!!

PS: Decision is yet to be made on main applicant's and we submitted as a group. i'm still so surprise

mimilyrics:
You need the following documents:
Valid international passport
Two passport-size photographs
Application fees: minimum of (N3,500-N8, 000) it varies.
Bottom line: You may have to negotiate to get the best price.

You can get your police clearance report using any of these 2 methods:

*Applying in person at the force CID, Police Criminal Registry, Alagbon, Lagos State (getting it from Nigeria).
*Applying from your state through Nigeria Police Force website ( http://www.npf.gov.ng/character/index.php )

You can apply in person at the Central Criminal Registry in Lagos, the address is as follows:

Central Criminal Registry Force C.I.D. Annex
Alagbon Close Ikoyi
Lagos, Nigeria.

If you applied at the criminal registry in Lagos, you can get it within a day, but it could take some days if you applied at the state command office.

Since you're in Abuja, apply online or go to:
Visit Zone 7 Police Command Headquarters
Wuse, Abuja
Nigeria.

[b]Note: If you are applying from your state command (Abuja in this case), you may have to wait between 5-7days because it will still be passed to the Criminal registry office in Lagos.

Thank you mimi, so expicit

ekpotek:
Pal your post is in the wrong thread. Try the crime thread

Really?
I read it somewhere on this thread that if you wouldn't mind doing a security Job in the UK you should get a PCC from Naija. Reason I asked for how to get it.
Or did I miss it?

Can I get a police Character Certificate (PCC) in Abuja?
If yes how do I go about it
Thanks!!

Can I get a police Character Certificate (PCC) in Abuja?

dovies:
Yea we got it.

Air of hope!!!!! Thank you so much dovies.
Kindly reply my mail

dovies:
It happened to my husband as the main applicant and my daughter. Only my passport was returned exactly 6 working days (priority). We waited till the 10th working day, called them and they returned my husband and daughters passports the following day.

Okay!!! Was your visa granted??

My self and 2 dependants did a group Submission at TLS Abuja.
I got a message today to pick up the visa for my 2 dependants ( spouse and son), whereas decision has not been take on mine, the main applicant. This is turning my head.
-Has anyone experienced this before?
Please house shed some light on this my case.
I'm worried.

jennyhumphrey:
My son was born in June 2017 and I got his birth certificate in July 2018. Since you already submitted just hope for the best.

Waoo!!! Okay.
Thanks

jennyhumphrey:
I included an affidavit stating that I am his mother sworn at the high court, included more pictures from his birth till date( I included this in the first application but I don't know why they ignored it )addressed the reason why the birth certificate was obtained late in my additional information then included a cover letter explaining same in details, I gave example of my own birth certificate which was obtained late as the norm in the country and I also outlined how his welfare will be sorted in the UK in the cover letter. Also pray, pray and pray. All the best

If I may ask, After how many years of your child's birth is the birth certificate issued. Because I had my son May 2017 and his birth cert issued June 2018, I didn't provide additional information to this effect and we are awaiting his visa. What's your take on this please

walefale:
Yes I did!

Okay. Have a great time in the UK

LaaJiblik:
I know someone who forgot to include (or so they said) her TB certificate.
They sent her an email address to forward a scanned copy for them.
It delayed her application by about 12 working days.

What!!! I need my visa ASAP.

justin86:
@kaad,I also submitted in Abuja. Which date did you submit? I don't think it will affect your application. prayer is all we need

13 Sept

I got a mail few hours back from UKVI that they are treating my application but unable to complete it because they don't have my ATAS Certificate which I submitted for scanning during my biometrics @ TLS Abuja, I'm surprise they didn't see it.
They provided a mail to send the Cert to which I just did.
- Has anyone experienced this before
-what's the implication of this on my application
- will this delay my visa? Like how many days extra?
Thank you

walefale:
God is great! Tier 4 Visa application successful!!!
Thanks to God, everyone on this platform and also to @justwise for the correction.

Thank you mimi and every other contributor.
My son's NHS fee has been refunded after 5 working days

mimilyrics:
It takes 6 weeks. If you don't get it in 6 weeks, you should send them a mail.

Thank you mimi...

mimilyrics:
As available on
https://www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigration-application/refunds

Refunds
You do not need to do anything to get an IHS refund - it’s automatically paid to the account or card you paid with.

You’ll get a full IHS refund if:

you paid twice
your visa application is refused
you withdraw your visa application

Yes I saw this on the website. But my worry is; how long will it take to get the refund?

Pls how do I get NHS (immigration health surcharge) Refund. We had to pay twice for my son.
Thank you

Is anyone up.
Please I need help
Paid for NHS, then I needed to book appointment for Wednesday but the only time popping up is 8:00am (prime time with extra charges) I want 12:30PM or later
Is there a way to go about this?
Hope my NHS surcharge won't get stucked?
