Hello everyone,
I hope you are all having a splendid weekend, I need help!
I applied first week in December and last week Monday I contacted ukvi via email with regards to the status of my application and I was replied that decision has been made.
Till now I haven't gotten a decision mail from Sheffield and Teleperfprmance hasn't even ticked the decision made button.
So Wat do I do next?? It's already 12 weeks

So I contacted the HO about my BRP.

This is the response.

Thank you for your enquiry.

You will not require a BRP as your visa is valid until XX XXXXXXX XXXXXX

Accordingly, you should use the Entry Clearance vignette you have been issued in your passport to enter the UK and evidence of your right to be here.
You will not receive a BRP.
Please do not reply to this e-mail.


Thank you

It was introduced newly I guess.

Saratkum:
Good evening lovely peeps, for those who have had a call regarding an interview here in the UK.. does the call come from a private/unknown number or a normal landline? What does the number start with if u remember? Thank you kiiindlyy x

mover:
Good evening house.

Am so glad I found this forum. Unfortunately the gist has gone on for so long and I haven't been able to follow from beginning. please I need your advice on the following:

Am getting married in march and intend to apply for visa to join my hubby in the UK in April. is it too early to apply?

He's on a tier 2 visa currently, what documentation do we need to provide and what's the complete application process.

Thank you

Karen, you played tricks on me. You purposely replied this message after Mr Bakare arrived the uk. Lol

Lexusgs430:


Is their any space in his luggage for me, Mr Bakare lives in Bariga, I live in palmgrove, not too far?
Just one danfo ride away!!!

Lexusgs430:


Above listed probably no longer required. Another P60 is due soon and hopefully you still get paid, hence payslips still rolling in.
So that ikoyi registry certificate was safe on delivery?

Lexusgs430:


Did any of your submitted documents get eaten by rats?

@phardey and @portsmouth86

I have been wondering about the biometrics resident permit myself since lately everyone seems to be talking about it. I guess putting the visa on it is recent because my whole visa for the 2 and a half years is on my passport. So phardey, maybe when we renew we'd get the biometrics card. Thanks portsmouth86 for making me understand it better. Congrats once more.

phardey:
Awwww! Finally

I'm so thrilled for u. I remember seeing all your messages when I was about applying for my Visa last April.

Thank you, long wait and didn't rush things so not to make any mistakes

Quick one please. Does everyone on spouse visa needs the biometrics card. Whats the card for? the biometrics residents permit is your visa and this is what shows your entitlement to work, you just get a 30 day entry clearance into the UK that gets put in your passport

Yes, the decision is usually made on the day of the spouse's Interview in London. (Thats if the spouse was called fro interview)

A woman I speak to had an interview on 17th January was refused, yet the decision was already made on 12th l, can you imagine going through that it's utter crazy

My visa was dated 26th May, Same day my hubby was interviewed in London

Lexusgs430:
Portsmouth86, are you guys too busy making babies,that you have not updated Mr Bakare's arrival?
You cannot miss in action now!!!!

blza:
I hv airline tickets , boarding passes (can't find all), hotel booking . Do I need to include copies of entry and exist stamps

Also hubby submitted his app on tuesday and got reception notification from Sheffield Wednesday . Is it usually this quick. I am under pressure to finalise my docs and send to Sheffield

Lexusgs430:


Medway I hear is borough in Kent, United Kingdom. Does a borough land at the airport?

justwise:


Congratulations! I'm not surprised though because you did your job with the application.

Enjoy your marriage.

They used to be called Dana airlines. Had a very bad rep with local flights in Nigeria and had a plane crash .. Sorry I wasn't trying to scare you. Just passing on the scare i got from my sister when I saw a return for Christmas last year for an unbelievably low rate of £580 .

Davdar:
@ Portsmouth86

Thanks @Portsmouth86...
I'm still waiting for mail or message from the embassy to go get my refusal and haven't heard notin yet. On the Tls tracking page still displays " sent to ukvi Sheffield " even tho I've got the mail saying decision has been made...

Is it advisable to visit there office to check if my passport is with them cuz it's suppose to take 3-5 working days?

Saratkum:
Oh wow, you have done so much.. i've literally went from studying/Uni to a permanent job ▪_▪

Roforofo:
Thanks to everyone that replied. Unless the change the laws we will just have to keep getting visas. The 15 year residency rule in Nigeria rules us out. Thank you all once again. Ajali thank you very much.

Saratkum:
Oh gosh, thats exciting! You make my life sounds boring Lol And inexperienced.. i only got my 1st proper job this summer :| Bless ya x

Saratkum:
Lol so am I.. :O Am off to a night shift too, start in an hour >_< What do you do?

Oreskid:

Saratkum:
