Good evening guys
Please is there a limit to the number of times one can enter the UK on a multiple entry 6 months visa?

Good morning guys
Can we say for sure that the 'Travel Document Ready for Collection' mail means visa is approved or do you need to pick up to confirm?
Logistics and cost of travelling to Lagos twice means it is preferable to pick up passport on the way to making the actual trip. But need to be sure there is an approved visa.

giselle237:
they believe no ‘genuine’ person will spend up more than 2 to 3 times of their monthly allowance on a trip of one week.

I certainly agree. What if however, you application is for a month?
Also do you mind confirming the addressee for letters of invitation, introduction, etc? Which of the following should it be please?

Deputy High Commission
British Embassy
11 Walter Carrington Crescent
Victoria Island
Lagos

UK Visa and Immigration
Entry Clearance Officer
Lagos, Nigeria.

giselle237:
it is a problem

Can you expatiate please?
What amount ideally should one budget for a month's trip?

Opeyemi007:
You should try reducing the days and the budget. When you get your visa, you can decide to spend twenty days or more, it shouldn't be a problem. £5k would be deemed too much for a three-week visit unless you earn more than that monthly, and probably have a shitload amount of verifiable funds in your account.

Why is this a problem if you budget more than you actually spend? I know someone who has recently applied and budgeted same amount for a month visit visa application?
Also is the UKVi usually inclined to approve shorter visit visas (say 1 to 2 weeks) than longer ones (1 month)?

Guys, please who is the invitation letter and other letters typically addressed to? I've seen these two addressees, which of the following is correct?

UK Visa and Immigration
Entry Clearance Officer
Lagos, Nigeria.

Deputy High Commission
British Embassy
11 Walter Carrington Crescent
Victoria Island
Lagos

giselle237:
I don’t think ECO will be reading the fine lines of your agreement. Also who said you will not be getting the letter closer to the visitor’s coming date?Dnt stress about the little things. Its the applicant the torchlight is more on

Thanks Giselle. Just the confirmation I needed.

Another quick question, guys, please, when you invite someone applying for a visit visa, do you typically include the rent agreement.
The rent agreement I have includes a clause that the landlord needs to approve in writing any occupier in the apartment outside those named on the agreement.
Given the above and the fact that I do not have Landlord's written consent, should I still include rent agreement or use other documents like council tax and other bills to prove my address?

Guys, please will really appreciate your thoughts on this?
Is a rent agreement critical as a proof of address when inviting someone on a visit visa or can bills alone be used?

Good evening guys
Please has anyone used the priority or superpriority service with UKVI / TLS recently?
I'm trying to schedule biometrics appointments, but cannot seem to find any slots once I select priority or superpriority service?

Deed poll not required for name changes due to marriage. Request for updated name on BRP must be made within 3 months of changing the name on your passport.
Passport needs to be renewed first as the only name that can go on your BRP is the one on your passport.
If you want to change immediately,
1. apply for a new passport in the name you want to use.
2. Apply for a new BRP and follow instructions here: https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/product/biometric-residence-permit-replacement-service

If you want to wait till when it is time to renew/extend your visa/BRP,
1. Apply for your passport in your new name few months before BRP expiration.
2. Make an application to extend/renew your visa, fill out the form with the new name on your passport, give details of your previous name, passports visas and whatever has changed.
3. Submit your marriage certificate + new passport to support the change in details.
4. Register your biometrics and wait for your BRP in your new name.

Thanks so much.

mimilyrics:
Not necessary. Deed polls are not required for name changes due to marriage and updated BRPs have to be requested within 3 months of the name change (in this case, when the passport is updated to reflect the new details) in order to avoid paying a £1,000 fine.

Just to confirm, when do the three months start counting, is it the marriage date or date passport is changed? The information on their website seems to suggest that it is marriage date.

Hello guys
Many thanks for the work you are doing.
Quick question please, if someone enters the UK with their maiden name on their Nigerian passport and BRP, but wishes to update the BRP to husband's name, what is the process? Should an update of the BRP be applied for when the passport still has the maiden name or does the passport need to be renewed with the new name before the BRP can be updated? Or can the person just start using the new name here while the BRP and Nigerian passport still have the maiden name since there is a marriage certificate?
Note that the marriage took place shortly before the visa application commenced and the Nigerian passport still has up to 2 years before expiry.

Guys, please does anyone know how long you have to pick up your passport once you are notified that your visa is ready?
The applicant is currently not in town and can only return a week after the notification was sent.

Nice. Still happening in 3 weeks in some cases.

Hello guys, so on the average, how long does it currently take to process a UK work visa and is there anything in writing to that effect say on their website or in an email response?

Good morning guys
Thanks for all your contributions.
Quick questions:
1. Based on your experiences, how does self service compare to assisted service in the VI office? Would you consider any to be more efficient?
2. Can you have your biometrics on a different day from your scheduled day using the walk-in option? We would like to have our biometrics together though we got different appointment dates.

Hello guys, I have found this thread very useful. Obviously, I came here because of numerous stops by the police due to the tinted glass matter. I had a tint permit, but that still did not stop them from obtaining me because of lack of medical report.
So I have decided to remove the tint. My question now is, does removing the tint on the 4 doors suffice or should I also remove the tint on the back windscreen? Some people have assured me that I don't need to remove that as long as the tint on the doors have been removed.
What do you think guys?

Thank you so much. I just realised that my NOC on the EE profile 1111 is not among those listed. Does it make sense to select a similar NOC, like accounting technicians and bookkeepers though it is different from what I have on my EE profile? Will appreciate your thoughts.

Hello, for those who registered for the new brunswick information session, do you get an acknowledgement email? I didnt get any

Hello, please how did you register for this session? I have searched online but could not find the link to register. Kindly assist.

Hello guys, I am completing an expression of interest for Manitoba PNP. There is a question that asks if I have a pending immigration application in Canada? Does this question refer to simply being in the pool or is it about candidates that have received an ITA and submitted an application?

Hello house, based on your experience which is better between Smile and Spectranet? My only consideration is reliability and internet speed because I do not imagine that any price difference will be significant. I will also appreciate any suggestion about other similar internet providers outside these two. The area of use is the Lekki-Ajah axis.

How are you guys so sure of b2b draws?

Erigo23:
ITA 470
4,500 invited
This is extremely good news especially for the 460s

Actually, depends on how you look at it, 4,500 ITAs were issued this time, which is quite high compared to the average of previous draws - around 3,500 ITAs. Except the 4,500 is sustained, the scores will go up again. Let us hope this 'tempo' is sustained for us 460s.

Which date is the tie breaker?

Eraytee:
na wa oooo Cut off for the 1st draw of the year 473

Na wa o. Seems its time to move on from this thing.

Kabz:
Next week Wednesday is more feasible.

This suggests that the cut off will still be over 470 by the next draw. Wonder when the thing go reach us again.

Guys, please how many points does French as second language add to CRS?
