Hello everyone.
Please does anyone have an idea how long a visitors visa is taking these days?
I know it’s typically 3 weeks but I just wanted to know if anyone has gotten theirs recently and if yes - when did they apply.
Thanks

Jomobobo:
Does the UK still attach vignette stickers for visit visas ?

I read online that this starts February 25th.
So it’s still about 11 days away

Hi guys.
Please does anyone know how long one can expect to be stuck at this stage ?
Or if it means there was an error with the application?
Because one can’t search for dates with this page showing.

I would really appreciate a response.
Thanks in advance for your answer

Hi guys.
Please does anyone know how long until after the requesting to schedule an appointment that one gets a response ?

Just looking to know when I might get a response from them.
Interview request was submitted on Monday.


Thanks in advance for your response

Good evening everyone. I applied for a Tier 2 Visa and did Biometrics on the 23rd of June. Can anyone help me with the current timeline Visa is taking at the moment?
I was under the impression that Tier 2 Health and Care visa takes a shorter time than usual and this is already 10 working days.

Hello All.
Got my Visit Visa today.
Biometrics: 11th December
PICK UP Email: 6th January
Thank you all for all the deliberations on this forum.
Helped keep me sane while I waited.
God bless everyone.

Online.
Payment for priority is made online

awumen:
thanks.
Ok,the dorm card will be used at tls center?

Its about the same.
And it is safer to do it from accredited BDCs at the airport because those ones won't give you fake dollars.
Road side Abokis can be dangerous
quote author=Shalom4life post=97565468]Is the exchange rate for aboki better than the ones in international airport[/quote]

In that case you may have to reach out to them via email. Its somewhere in this thread

Ivymich:
mojohnny Have you tried tracking it using the TLS app from the Playstore? That should be your first port of call.


Yes he has the app in his phone and constantly checking. It's at stage two which is decision making center since 9th November.

A friend used this 3 weeks ago.
The rates were better because she was charged about 51k for the 130 US dollars. 2 weeks before that, I used a Wema Bank card and I was charged about 58k.
So its definitely a much cheaper option if you ask me.and definitely better than black market rates

Ivymich:
Compliment of the season to everyone, please my husband applied for UK visiting visa and did biometric since 9th November and till now we haven't gotten any message. I read here about mailing and calling them. Although he paid an agent to help him with the process which is why I want to ask if calling or mailing them is the right thing to do. And also has anyone gotten any positive respond from calling or mailing? Thanks

My brother, I am in the same shoe as you o.
My closing balance is less than yours and my expenses are just about the same.
I am really bothered about this.
But I have submitted so I just want to hope for the best.

Annonymous2:
Good afternoon everyone.
I just got to know about this disposable income stuff after I finished my biometric and it has been bothering me.
Monthly Income after tax= ₦330,127
Monthly expenses= ₦130,000
Disposable income= ₦200,000
Balance in savings account= ₦1,970,000
My approximate estimated travel expenses for 18 days are as follows:
1. Airline ticket [with return ticket] = ₦280,000
2. Accommodation = ₦282,212
3. Living expenses = ₦102,191
TOTAL = ₦664,403 which is a little bit more than 3X my disposable income as against a maximum of 2X being preached here.
I am going for PLAB 2 Exam (foreign licensing exam for doctors) and I submitted the necessary documents to back this up.
No shady credits in my bank statement.
Please do I still stand a chance to get the visa or the ECO will query the disposable income stuff?

Hi guys.
Please what's the average wait time for a 6 month Visit Visa? And also does anyone know if the ECOs take time off for the Christmas season asides 25th,26th and 1st of January?

Good afternoon everyone.
Please does anyone have a reliable connect at Unilag Certificate office?
Thanks in advance.

Good morning everyone.
I am new to this thread.
I want to take the PLAB 1 examination in the UK in June. I will need to be in the UK for about 1 week. I have an Aunt there so I will be staying with her for that duration.
Please I would like to know the documents required, Account balance that should be sufficient and any other relevant information.

If there is a particular portion of this thread that has the above information I would like to be pointed there.
Thanks in advance.

Hi guys.
I said it before but I just must reiterate how amazing you guys are to each other.
The support you all give each other is something worthy of note.
I finally got my IELTS remark back on 03/01/19 and my writing remained a 6.5. It took 53 days in all. Thankfully my speaking changed from 7.5 to 8 so I will be getting my money back from BC.


Reading through the several stories on here was what kept me sane through all the times I waited for my IELTS and made me more resolute to write the exam as many times as it takes, till I pass my writing.

Keep up the good work guys.
You lot are amazing.

Please I sent you an email.
Kindly respond.
Thanks.

DrMrsCK:
BC. They sent a mail stating they had received it. UK too sent a mail. When I didn't hear from them after 4weeks, I sent a mail to them and they replied after 2days stating it was ready

Searched online couldn't get an email.
Finally found a complaints page and I filled my complaints there.
They promised to revert to me in 5 days.

COPR:
Send email to Cambridge (get their email address online) to make sure your EOR was sent to them. BC can be crazy at times.

15 weeks.
Blood of Jesus!!!!
Please which year was this? ���

daks02:
Mine took almost 15weeks, those guys can be proper bastards, I went to their office continuously for almost two weeks before it came back, unchanged! So my advice is for you to keep bugging them, might help. All the best.

So I visited their office as advised on Thursday and I was informed that they haven't gotten a feedback from Cambridge yet.
I just hope that they haven't forgotten my Re-mark somewhere on a table in Cambridge.


Please has anyone ever applied for a re-mark with BC that took longer than the 6 week time??
The suspense is killing me.

bharbhyie:
May I suggest you visit their office on Friday and find out the status.

I submitted my EOR form on the 13th, received an email on the 19th that it had been sent to the EOR team

I got a mail on Sunday last week that the remark is completed and I should pick up anytime from 15th.

I’m trusting God and keeping faith for upgraded results in Jesus name.

It will end in praise. Amen

I will probably have to visit office on Friday.
I have emailed them incessantly and I haven't gotten any response via email. I even called them last week and I spoke to a rude officer who told me its only after 6 weeks I can be asking for status of my EOR.

Sorry about your re-mark.
Currently in the same shoes waiting on a response about my EOR submitted since 12th of November 2018.

I am yet to get a response from BC and it's making me super anxious to say the least.

May I ask when you submitted your EOR so I can know whether to go to their office to disturb them?
Thanks

Daybour1:
4th Attempt on IELTS with BC: LRSW - 8.5,9,8,6.5

Applied for remark of my writing and came back unchanged yesterday... I'm literally exhausted. ECA had been completed since August and could not wait to dive into the pool this year.

Can anyone please assist with writing tips that are sure to work anytime anyday?

Tired

No his 6.5 remained unchanged!

MummyO24:
From personal experience, the longer it takes, the more likely that it was actually sent to the UK. Was your friend's remark positive? Mine took 6 weeks and my writing was upgraded to 7 from 6.5.

Meanwhile team 444, are u sure we wnt locate one ori-oke and stay interceeding for the next two weeks?

This is to give an idea of the current timeline with British Council.
My friend and I both put in for EORs on the 12th of November. He selected only writing for re-mark while I selected speaking and reading. We both got emails on the 19th that the EOR had been sent to the UK team and we should expect a response from 2-4 weeks from the 19th of November.
He got an email on the 24th that his EOR was ready while I am yet to get any subsequent information from them since then. I guess because I requested for more modules to be re-marked mine is taking longer.

Anxiety wants to finish me.
