Not entirely true. My wife's visa was processed in Lagos and it was a Family Visit Visa. Blessedfavour was right when she posted this:

I don't know if the process has changed but what i was told in 2012 was that if its your first time of if you haven't traveled to the UK in the last 2 years, then its Abuja, the frequent and recent travelers gets processed in Lagos which explains the red and black bags, though right now i cant remember which bag goes to Lagos or Abuja.

Though things have changed. The Yellow folders are for visiting visa (all types). Red Folder for settlement visas and Black Folder for study visas. Red and black may e vice versa, cant quite remember; trust me, i asked when i went to submit my application.
I guess you are right but some family long term visit are processed in abuja.

Family visit visa are processed in abuja with yellow bag, irrespective of where you submit it. General visitor visa processed in Lagos, Abuja or Sheffield depending on centre of submission. I hope this helps

@justwise Have previous family visit visas but last visa that was issued was a visit visa too but on d account of the exam.

I'm sorry but he is wrong, he lives in the UK and not Nigeria. you can't use his Nigerian contact because of the embassy wants to contact him are they going to call him in Nigeria to speak with who?

Were you working when you got your previous visa?
No I was not but my sponsor indicates that all the traveling cost will be on the sponsors, from ticket to accommodation.

Lexusgs430:
Your unemployment status, would jeopardise your application status.
I think it's best you defer exams, wait for all valid documents and apply for settlement visa.
thought as much to,can I apply for the route that enables me to use the exam as reason to visit cuz that was how I did the last time,though unemployed and I still got the visa cuz got confirmation from the council that I had an exam.

justwise:
Put all his UK details, he may be contacted but that shouldn't worry you. Don't make any mistake else you ruine your up coming spouse visa application
@justwise and @lexusgs430 thanks, but spouse is saying that being a Nigerian first before being british,and thinks putting his Nigerian contact might help to proof that I have ties here in Nigeria as am currently unemployed. This is not my first visiting visa and does not that to jeopardize the application.

Lexusgs430:
Now I remember your request (organising documents for settlement visa, about 4 months to go).
Now here is the dilemma, if you give his Nigerian address and reapply for a settlement visa in about 4 months, and then give his UK address. How would both of you explain the anomaly?
Give it a deep thought, and apply accordingly.
Well am just going to put his Uk address and all. Thanks a lot

Does spouse live in the United Kingdom? If yes, UK address and details are required.
Yes, spouse might be contacted.

@lexusgs430 , @justwise while filling my visit renewal form,a section for married came up. Was asked about spouse details,spouse is british and Nigerian. Spouse is not the one sponsoring this trip. Should I give his british details wiv address or the Nigerian details. Phone number is also required, would spouse be contacted or it's just for documentation? I need ur advice asap.

@lexusgs430 lol, we have about 3-4 months, we actually dey miss each other lol. And have an exam to write over there before end of july. Now the thing is that standard visitor visa can also be used for that too. So was thinking of renewing my visa.
TravelRe: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by nma01: 1:21am On May 14, 2015
@lexusgs430, what if someone had previous visiting visas that expired and wants to renew it while awaiting completion of documents required for spousal visa, do i think is a bad idea?
