No decision email yet. Fingers crossed though

EggPlant:
Please bro, lemme know when you get a decision made email I am really hoping it'll come today.

Thanks Ekpotek. God bless you real good.

ekpotek:
You track your application from this website outside TLC
https://ukvi-international.faq-help.com/

Just enter the required information and you should get a response within 24 hours.

Yea I would have to change the date to a later date.
I haven't made payment just to avoid debits.

ekpotek:
You have no other options than to wait until a decision is made. I suggest you cancel your reservation or change the date, which ever is appropriate. The guideline says that you should not make payment for accommodation or flight ticket until you have gotten your visa.

EggPlant:
How did you track it, any other website apart from the TLS contact's?

The TLS VI website oo. No update atall

Same boat no news yet
Please Ekpotek n Just wise. Did the biometrics since 3rd and no info till now and I made an unpaid hotel reservation for 24th that's Monday. Considering I haven't received an update till now and when tracked real time status yet to be considered by the ECO. Please what do you propose I do? Cancel the reservation to avoid charging room rates from Monday or change dates? Thanks n God bless you

EggPlant:
Hi, I submitted my application for visit visa since 29th March and did biometrics on 3rd April. I am yet to get any mail from from them apart from the initial mail that my application was recieved by UKVI. Should I be worried? Should I send them a mail?

Thanks Ekpotek. Will do.As advised

You can always reschedule your appointment and prepare well. The ECO will be interested to see your saving retirement balance? However, if you do not feel strongly about it. You can go ahead to keep your appointment.

Would have but appointment is tmrw. My certificate has my PEN RSA account number. I feel it's just to show I pay pension as my pay slip indicates monthly deductions or I should just ignore add that.

ekpotek:
I will suggest that you visit your Pension Fund Manager, and request a statement from them, or letter from them. This could be the difference between approval and denial. No document is too insignificant when applying for UK visit visa.

Thanks Ekpotek. I would only include my certificate as I couldn't print the statement. Hope that's okay.

@Mialate, @dcutey. This is very good and smart move in my opinion. A lot of applicants do not know that a pensionable job is a very strong home and economic ties, as it demonstrates to the ECO that you're not likely to overstay by AWOL. Besides you can only access your retirement saving after retirement at 60-65 years. However, there must substantial amount in your retirement savings to satisfy the ECO. Go ahead and include your retirement saving account documentation.

Thanks dcutey. I will explain the debit as it was made to my sister as a loan.

dcutey:
Mialate, in my opinion I don't think it matters what company is on your pension account since it's a retirement savings account but you can state that you started your career and opened the account while still with your former employer. I'm planning to submit six months statement of my retirement savings account as an economic tie. You can explain the 300k debit if it will strengthen your application.

Thanks Ekpotek. Last Questions:
Pension is deducted from my monthly salary and I have been contributing since 2012 I started working using my previous company name. I spoke with Stanbic way back on changing details on thw company name but they said I could continue using same account. Please can I include my Pension Registration Certificate OR just leave off to avoid contradictions or include an explanation in my cover letter.also is there any need to explain like a 300k debit on my account

ekpotek:
No. You still do not have anyone in the UK. It's your friend brother who probably does not even know you.

Thanks Ekpotek. Will disregard then.

ekpotek:

Good evening Great people. Am back again. I submitted my online application and stated I don't know anyone in the UK which is true. Due to the card restrictions here my hotel reservation was done with the help of colleague at work who's brother leaves in the UK while I pay her back. Please do I explain this in my supporting letter. So the ECO doesn't see a contradicting reply.Remain blessed.

ekpotek:
Yes you can use highlighting pen. Also include a note to explain to ECO these payments

Thanks so much Ekpotek. God bless you guys.

ekpotek:
Your salary is your primary source of income. This you must declare. Your business is secondary, declaring it is optional unless it is reflected on your bank statment. You only need to point out to ECO any suspicious large or irregular inflow into your bank account as coming from your online business. This disclosure, remove the suspicion from ECO of inflating your bank balance for visa purpose. You are free to take many snapshots (www.screenhunter.com) of your online business webpages and include them as supporting documentation. This is fair enough, after all, there many people making a lot of money online on e-bay, amazon.com, Jiji, Jumia. Disclose any large amount inflow into your bank account which is not salary as this help to clarify things for the ECO.

Thanks Ekpotek. Last question please my business isn't registered and considering its online business the sales and profits vary per day. Should I just declare only my salary am sure of than declaring amount that varies from day to day. God bless you all as you help clear my doubt.

ekpotek:
Yes you're free to use additional sheet, if the space in the additional information form is not enough.

Thanks Ekpotek. Am grateful. A quick question the note should be typed on an additional sheet of paper?

ekpotek:
Yes you can use highlighting pen. Also include a note to explain to ECO these payments

Please how do you point out these payments ad reflected in your bank statement. The use of a highlighting Pen or

ekpotek:
Receipts, invoices, purchase order, delivery notes. etc to show that you are earning additional income for artworks and point the ECO to where these payment are reflected in your bank statements.

JajaAmbula:
True? It's real?

You get a wide coverage and also serves as an advert platform for your business. Make sure you are a verified seller though. I have been for 1year and 7months same with .

Great People, I have been a silent reader for years now. Finally I have some questions :

I intend to apply for a visiting visa for my annual vacation which is for next month ending.
I started with a salary of N197k in after tax n pension and got promoted with a salary raise to N 282k after tax n pension. Having a closing balance of almost N 1.82m. I do some online selling business on Jiji.com.ng n n konga.com which is managed by my sister in terms of taking orders and scheduling delivery and all payments from customers goes into my salary account as it's still an unregistered business but I have purchase receipts as well as sales receipt generated for 100k n above purchases.
Please do I use the space for additional information on the new application portal to explain the extra deposit sources.

Ok thanks. Please send the contact of the mech who can handle it.

Kashif:
I suspect high line pressure, broken accumulator springs or worn clutches.

MODIFIED:

Did not read properly; now I understand it happens only cold. Meaning accumulator spring and clutch should be struck off the suspect list. Line pressure control system is where my money is.

Thanks Kashif, do you know any good mech who can check and fix..

Hi great men, I drive a Nissan Maxima 1998 model
Issues:
1. In reverse it jerks really hard before taking off same thing when it's in drive.
2. Morning ritual: it just never goes into drive without delays so if in hurry you need to use 2 or 1 for about 2 to 3 mins before it slides nicely into drive. At this point it doesn't give the hard jerk noise like the engine is about to fall off. Someone standing close by feels the jerk noise. Please I need a solution. Am based in Lagos

What is presently trending on most of the online sites now is the Apple iPhone replicas especially for iphones 6 and 6 plus, 6s.

These iphones replicas originally cost N 17, 000 in the local market while they are sold on these sites for as much as N 90000.

How to identify fake Apple iphones

1. The Ringer set key on the left hand side of the phone is bent and not straight.

2. An original iphone never comes with a Screen protector.

3. It's running an Android operating system and not an IOS operating system.

4. The Safari setting on the phone is only in Chinese.

5. Doesn't accept an Apple ID especially if you are an iphone user.

Note : This replica or fake is exactly like the Original. Always insert your SIM card before paying for any iphone you intend to buy.

Don't fall a victim of these selfish individuals
