Biotoxic:
Please how long does a Temporary Work Visa UK take after biometrics?
Is there a chance to get it before the 3 weeks?

I gave biometrics on 24th May (16 days ago). I need to submit my passport urgently to another embassy for stamping.

Any suggestions?

Mine was 29th April. Have u sent them a paid mail. They keep telling me "awaiting decision"

NwakanmaLife:
Hello Guys,

I just got an email from TLS VI, that my travel documents are ready for pick-up if applicable. I don’t know if this means my Visa was approved.

NB- My biometrics was done on the 20th of April, 2022.

LONG MESSAGE ALERT
Thank you, interview went well
Q. Your name, DOB, Nationality
What are you going to do in the UK
Your role?
What's your salary
No salary, it's a volunteering and charity work
How did you know about the job
What made you the best candidate for the job
Who is the head of the organization?
Do you know him personally? No
Where will you be staying? I told him
Who's stays there? Idk but it's an arrangement from the organization
Is it a private facility or a hotel? Private
Tell us about the recruitment process with dates?
Have u travelled out of the country before? No
Have u done charity in African countries before? No
So why UK? This is where the opportunity is coming this time and I want to take it to give more to the society, it's going to be an added value to me and it will open more opportunities for me internationally
When are u meant to start work?
April 1st
That has passed, do you think it's still necessary
Charity and volunteering has no time bound, giving is not meant for a particular time,
And I've also been in contact with my employer and they're willing to reschedule once my visa is granted
What do you do here? I told her about my business
Who will manage it when you're away? My wife is an accountant and she can manage it properly when I'm away. My sister too can handle a number of things being a staff and has taken several lead roles
What's your monthly income? I said roughly N150k
Who will take care of your wellbeing there? My employer
Including food? Yes
How will ur family here be taken care of? From my biz
In case you need to take care of something, how will u do that? I have about N500k as savings with a cooperative society and I have access to *4 of that if need arise but I don't think there will be such emergency
Did you do this process yourself or someone helped you? Did myself.
These are the questions I can remember now but there were even more questions that this.
Spent about 1hr25mins for the interview.
She said she's impressed and inspired and also said she's not the one to take a decision that it's just a part of the process, that she's going to send the video and typed answers to the department that will take the decision.
I even said I thought there was going to be an apology due to the delay, she made some explanations and apologized on behalf of the team. In all, it was a long but interesting and interactive conversation.
I just hope my financial figures is OK as I dont know what their minimum requirements are for my finances. Just told them the truth about it. Hopefully I get a positive decision soon.

Good afternoon All,

Please how do I call UKVI? The instruction says "input your card details and press dial" I have tried adding the # and * key but it is not working. I also inserted only the details and waited but it keeps repeating "press dial". Please who can help?

bakol:
Please, have you sent them paid email? Kindly do so asap if you do not receive collection email today from them.

Good news await you.
