Good day everyone. Please I really need advice on what I can do here, my appointment is on Monday, how do I get the appointment confirmation letter to show them. Please I applied for UK visiting visa and I paid for biometrics via the TLS website but I didn’t get the appointment confirmation email. I have checked my junks and spam messages but nothing is there. My appointment is Next week, please what can I do? Am I alone on this or had it been happening of recent ? Thanks for your advise |

Hi guys, Made a renewal visa for my mum, she had 6months before now and I applied for 2 years, but she got her passport today and she was given 6months again. Please Can I do anything to this or it’s to just leave it as it is? |

temodent: Sure yours wills drop this week as well, I am optimistic. My decision mail and collection mail dropped the same day after waiting for almost 3 months (May 24th). Please my mum chose the option that the passport to be delivered to her as she can’t stand the VI stress again. Who knows if the courier can be tracked or how soon they will deliver. Do they give tracking ID when such option is chosen pls. |

livewithpurpose: This is ridiculous! Please have you gotten your passport now? You shouldn’t wait for your passport m. I guess something has happened to those that apply at that time that they are not saying because I don’t know how renewal visa is taking 3 months to be issued. They are not being honest and they are not disclosing what has happened: it’s unfair. 1 Like |

Now this is annoying.. did biometrics in VI on the 24th of May. Sent to DMC the second day and till date it is still awaiting decision. Sent several paid mails. It’s more than 55 working days now and Last mail from them said it’s been escalated to relevant department and need to wait for another 15 business days. This is really pathetic… renewal visa taking three months |

peace2peace: Hi, Please have you gotten any update? I submitted an application which is more than 10 weeks now, and decision has not been made. It’s not a first time application.. |

MarryWhiteasap: I really feel either renewal or first time application does not matter again. We don’t really know for sure how these applications are dealt with… I have a renewal that is almost 3 months now and more than 9 weeks and still counting. One thing that is certain is that the visitor application now takes more than 15 work days, I don’t know if other types though. The processing times have really changed. Nothing is certain. 1 Like |

toemie: Hi Bro, I agree that it’s a bit confusing but let me acquaint you with why some people might need school details in their application. Take for instance my younger bro is schooling in Netherlands, came to visit me in the UK. He works part time as well so I’m his application he added admission letter from school, his result thus far, school ID card that showed that he would go back to complete his studies. He also added other relevant details about his part time job and he added proof of funds. So what I am saying is the situation you are determines the type of document you will present especially as home tie. However, for this applicant, I feel there are lot of information missing and he needs to let us know what type of visa was previously refused, and what type did he apply for now, since you are now a graduate why including these in your application… I doubt if he was applying for visitor visa anyway… |

Rogundipe2000:We all are in the same situation. I told them via the mail that mine is over 44 working days and was just asked to wait for another 15 working days. I hope they respond before then. |

Lems2:Let her state it that she will be heading back home to meet her family. She should provide marriage certificate to show she’s married and she stays with her husband and she will be going back to meet her kids after her stay. Family is a very strong home tie. My opinion |
Travel / Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by kod161: 9:14am On Jul 28, 2022 |
gutter: Honestly and to be fair, I don’t know what they need again regarding your school info, if he has stated he is a graduate and he has provided certificate and admission letter from school, what other evidence do you need to show you are a graduate? The only issue I have is, in your previous application, you chose that your dad will sponsor you, did you fill it there that you had no job or that you were employed? If you were unemployed in January and you got a new job now then you should able to show a new letter of employment that showed that you only got employed after the last application, also the ECO is wondering why you ain’t touching your salary, it could be that you strategically put the money there for the application… so if you genuinely saving your salary and you have other means of living… then you need to state it that you have other source of funds maybe from friends and family and explain why they give you these funds maybe pocket money from parents. You also need to show where the funds are being paid too and how often you spend them cos you can’t be living without spending money no matter how small. But if all these doesn’t reflect in your statement m. The ECO will be confused. As for your school, maybe you should add your transcript, pictures of you In School, student ID card, other proof that you went to school since they need more proof even though I feel you have demonstrated more than enough in that regards. Keep the faith bro, it will happen 2 Likes |

[quote author=temodent post=115044682]You both are getting this thing wrong, granted we've been told about long delays due to the Ukrainian crisis, but it becomes extremely worrisome when you begin to read about someone in the same visa category with you and who submitted almost 3 - 4 weeks after your own submission receiving collection mails while you're still waiting That exactly is where is the worries lie. Please did you read the part where I stated that my mum’s application is involved in this? She has done biometric since 24th May but no decision had been made. This is just a renewal that shouldn’t take more than a month, with other countries valid visa on her passport. That said, I have a friend who applied for her tier 2 for more than 8 weeks and she is yet to get it. (We are both in the uK) and all her travels are canceled cos she can’t leave the country during this period. It is not the same person that is responding to all applications, hence the reason why some people get it on some days why others that you apply together won’t get it. Does it call for anxiety? Yes. Should you be worried? Yes. But what can you do? You can send paid mail from now till next year, they will only do what they will/ can do. I agree that there could be internal glitch or other issues but we don’t know what the reasons are. The best we can do is to be patient. Or what do you suggest that we do? Sue them? Or call them out? If you are in dire need of your passport, you may send a cover letter to them and tell them you need the passport back asap. But there is nothing we can do than to be hopeful and wait for their decision. I am worried too cos my mum’s renewal application is pending and it’s two months and counting…. 2 Likes |

I think we all need to be patient. Yes we paid for the service, but they have responded that request are high which is unusual and we all know the reason. I understand that it is really causing anxiety to some people. Best thing is to await their feedback. Today makes it exactly 2months (since May 24) that my mum did biometrics and application is being considered, decision he not even been made. She has valid US, Canadian and other countries visa and she has been in the UK within the last 10 years. Yet she is experiencing this. But what can we do, just be patient and be hopeful. Thanks. |

Larryconcept:This is a bit funny. You have sufficient funds o. I feel they do not believe that you’ll be here for a visit and you won’t see your own siblings, they really feel you are not being honest. You could have just said you’ll visit your siblings though you won’t be staying there. It makes more sense. Also, they believe you are spending more than your financial status. Yes you have the money, but they don’t think anyone who is wise would want to spend such money on just 7 days travel. And to cap it all, you do not have travel history, in certain if you had travel history, they might believe it is what you have always done and allow you in. Just apply again, let them know you’ll be staying at your brothers’, also get a letter from him and it will reduce your expenses and makes the visa application reasonable. You do not need to say you had issues… they will treat each application as a new one, as if none ever existed but please, declare the refusal while applying again… My opinion…… |
