Hey all

Apologies i have been away, not been well had 2 weeks of sick from my work sad with really bad anxiety, all well now though.

Im nearing for hubby to submit which is next month (jeez that seems weird saying next month ha ha)

Few questions:

i) Does hubby need a copy of our marriage certificate to submit in Nigeria, since I have it in the UK with me and Ikoyi wont issue a copy?

ii) My payslips are all online, they have the company logo etc, do I need these to be stamped too? (I am supplying payslips from April 2014 to the most recent) My bank have agreed to stamp my online ones, but did say HO should accept them.

iii) What is the website address to start the application?

iiii) Please can you advise me of what happens once hubby has filled out the application online, and is it worth to pay for the priority service?

Thank you

Karen

Romance / Re: What Is The Excitement Of Wedding Night When Your Wife Is Not A Virgin? by Portsmouth86(f): 1:22pm On Sep 19, 2015
Sagamite:


All these nonsense talk many of you engage in and think you are making sense?

Supposed?

Who told you it is "supposed" to be special night?

What is special about having sex with someone who would be reeking in pain and there will be blood all over the beddings?

What is "special" "suppose" "excitement" "look forward" about that? {Rearrange the words as you wish}

You are so stuuupid people tell you what should excite you?

Furthermore, you seem to have forgotten to consider whether the guy too is a virgin?

Can I just point out that virginity does not have to be broken by intercourse

Having a hymen and being a virgin are not the same thing. There are other ways that a hymen can be stretched open, by inserting something into the vagina (like a tampon or a finger) riding a bicycle, or doing sports. And some girls are born with so little hymenal tissue that it seems like it was never there.

A virgin is someone who has never had sex. But "sex" is defined differently by different people. A lot of people think that women and men lose their virginity the first time they have penis-in-vagina intercourse (vaginal sex). But this definition is really limited because it leaves lots of people and other types of sex out of the picture.

Some people who haven't had vaginal sex don't think of themselves as virgins because they've had other kinds of sex, like oral or anal sex, yet having any kind of sex vaginal, anal or oral is still sex smiley

So not all women bleed after her first time and not all women find it painful, if a man knows how to take the time to pleasure his women then sex should never be painful, if shes tense then your doing something wrong ...simples shocked

Would it raise red flags that I recently had a Natwest bank loan, which i decided to take out to consolidate my small creditors and tidy up my accounts which as a result I have much less outgoings?

I have a letter from Natwest, the loan was just £4000.

Theres a group on facebook called[b] "I love my 'foreign' spouse: defend the rights of cross-border couples"[/b] which I follow and noticed someone put on there about it

Hi all

I need some advice on the bank statements I will need to supply to Sheffield for hubbys spouse visa application

My bank statements are online PDFs ive printed, and I seem to be just going over everything like a million times.

I have seen conflicting information

in the immigration appendix it states this:

(1) on official bank stationery; or
(2) electronic bank statements which are either accompanied by a letter
from the bank on its headed stationery confirming that the documents are
authentic or which bear th
e official stamp of the issuing bank on every
page.

All my pdf have headed paper etc.

has anyone had to get these stamped, my bank NatWest have said they do not stamp statements.

Please advise

thanky you smiley

QUICK QUESTION; AS A BUSINESSMAN, IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN A SPECIFIC MONTHLY INCOME AS INCOME WOULD VARY MONTH BY MONTH DEPENDING ON BUSINESS. what should be used as monthly income? how does one go about coming up with a figure? would using 'N/A' be acceptable?

similarly, money given to family members and other dependents would also vary depending on how much income is made for the month, how should one input those figures undecided.

Im sure you could work out an average?

Im sure others will advise

good luck

Thanks Prof. Will buy £ from Nigeria.

Please do you know if Lufthansa is reliable?

Flying from Lagos-Frankfurt-Manchester

1 hr Layover at Frankfurt.

Lufthansa is a huge airline, very funny with fare rules, as a travel consultant i know them to be very difficult to deal with when making any changes as they have so many restrictions should you need to make changes, but as a passenger you should be fine.

http://www.airlinequality.com/seat-reviews/lufthansa/ the reviews are not too good, but then it all depends on what you are looking for or what is your preference when looking for flights, is it cheapest vs fastest etc.

Also dont be afraid to use other airlines such as Iberia(owned by British airways) , Royal Air Moroc where you will find tickets at a fraction of the cost of direct flights with Virgin or BA.

Now for the TB test, is there only one centre to do this, and does anyone know how much it is? He was told by someone else waiting for a test they were charged 30000 Naira, is this correct?

The property inspection thing is a bit of porkies, doesn't apply to your case.

Your employment contract and a letter of salary increase have enough info to justify your employment status and salary then you got your payslips as well.

Sorry for my delayed response, thats great to know one less thing to think about.

I really don't think there is any templates for it but if she got business letterhead it will be nice to write it on it.

Its simply confirming her full name, address of the property, the type of the property and that she has given her consent for you to live their with your hubby.

She only has the one apartment she lets, so doesn't have business letter headed paper, I will advise of what you said.

A few more things smiley ...

*I saw on another forum that a visa was refused because there was no property inspection report, is this required?

Letter from employer
* the person's employment and gross annual salary;
would this be: Travel consultant... Gross Salary £16426.68, plus Night Shift rate £2400.00, plus Incentive £variable
* the length of their employment- commenced 5th January 2015- Present
* the period over which they have been paid the level of salary relied upon in the application-
since 11th May 2015 (letter to show this)
* the type of employment(permanent, fixed-term contract or
agency). Permanent

What is it that my company need to specify, I have my employment contract and a letter for my salary increase in May.

Please advise, thank you

Hi all

I have asked my Landlady to write me a letter for the apartment that i rent, to specify that she is happy for my husband to live with me once he comes to the UK.

Are there any templates that anyone knows of, as she asked me what exactly is it that she needs to be writing, and if it is to me or to 'to whom it may concern'

please advise, or if anyone has a letter template, i could only locate ones online that indicated the applicant was already in the UK


Also is there any specific time period that the letter needs to be dated within from the date of application?

Hi everyone, Its testimony time!!! Yayyyy!!! After months of waiting, dear visa is here grin grin. I was tensed cos hubby wasn't called unlike the timelines I have seen on this forum.

Here's my timeline
May 21, 2015- submitted application online
May 26th - Went for biometrics and was interviewed
May 27th - recieved email from UKVI that they have received my application.
June 8th - supporting documents received by Sheffield. Note that I didn't receive an email to this effect, just the postal delivery report. I thought this as unusual unlike what I have seen on this forum, but hubby told me not to get worried.
And so the wait began, it was a long wait. I was waiting to hear hubby say he has been invited for an interview. For where, no info.
Jul 30th - hubby contacted UKVI via email requesting an update
Jul 31st - emailed response of no current updates. We were asked to provide info for case to be expedited
Aug 2nd - Case escalated
Aug 4th -Email from UKVI stating the application in question is awaiting ECO assessment
Aug 6th - Received an email from UKVI that a decision have been made. I experienced an intense session of heart palpitations. Hubby was not called for an interview and I was so scared it meant a refusal. Most timelines I have read, have that interview and then a positive response. He thought it probably meant our application was well arranged... lol. He was right grin
Aug 7th - Supporting documents returned to hubby. (we were both confused as d photocopies were returned, but all na tension)
Aug 10th - Email from teleperfomance that passport is ready collection
Aug 11th - Taadah!!!! Passport collected, visa stamped 4th Aug!! Hubby and I are over excited and extremely grateful to God.

Thanks girlfio,Lexusgs430 and everyone for ur contributions on this forum. I hope my timeline helps someone in need of answers.

So no interview, that's interesting, Congratulations to you ...this forum has alot of good luck ay

Stay blessed

Good day. Got married last month and we're applying for my visa this month. Please do I need the English language test for my spouse visa? I'm a Nigerian and a graduate. Thanks

Congratulations on your new Marriage, I hope it all goes smoothly

My hubby and I got married 25th March and we are waiting until November to apply, I don't want to rush it, I have all the docs ready now, just adding a few more up until the application date then he is good to go smiley

I will follow to see how you are doing with the whole process
