I've been a silent reader. I learnt alot from this thread. I applied for myself, my husband and 2 kids. We all got. My husband's biometrics was on the 30th May, (my kids were same as me on the 26th May) but we got mail to collect same day. Thanks for all the assistance rendered here.

I used @sokotogudali cover letter format, I also got an invite from a relative in the UK. A lot of pple discouraged me, said I shld build travel history first, but I read alot here and had faith.

For Abuja TLS, once it six weeks, u can go there and check. Immediately I got the paid mail response on the 14th, I prepared to go and check, I got the collection mail after I had collected. Lol
