You guys need to chill. Processing time is now up to 12 weeks from day of biometrics.

Please house i need help on how to go for administrative review on my application or advise on what to do because I was wrongly refused by the eco, I received the refusal letter this morning with my kids own.
The eco stated that I want to spend 21 days meanwhile I stated in my application that we want to spend 14days.

And also he said my business is unknown on CAC search and that my business is not trading which is all lies..

Meanwhile my business is active on CAC search website, I have always been paying my annual return since 2016 and I have evidence of all my payments and my tax which I submitted all.

And also my husband has UK 10 years visa and he said in the introduction letter that we are all going together and he will be the one to sponsor our trip why i will add little of my quota but the eco refused my kids because he stated he refused because i am the one sponsoring the trip meanwhile it is all lies, it is like the eco has a preconcluded mind before making a decision on our application...

Please house i need help on how to go about this, please kind the refusal paper and the search results of my business on cac

I am not an expert, neither am i in a position to advice you, But I will share my experience with you.

I had a similar experience as you, the only difference is that in my own case, the only reason that was given is that my business was not found on the CAC website. In visit VISA applications most times, you don't have the right to appeal, the only option is to go for judicial review, which involves the court. But before then, you can write a preaction protocol letter to the home office.

I wrote a pre-action protocol letter to the home office, narrating the decision and pointing out the error of the clearance officer with screenshot evidence that my business is active on CAC.

By default, they will have to respond in 14 days. 13 days after i wrote, they responded and requested for another 14 days for a substantial response . The second 14 days came and they responded, stating that " The secretary of State has reviewed the decision and will now proceed to reconsider the decision based on the information i have provided. They said the believe the solution they have provided is good enough, but if i still want to proceed with judicial review, i am free to do so.

They stated that i will be contacted within 3 months of receiving the letter, it is almost 2 months now and I am still waiting.

So you might want to reapply and point all these out through a cover letter, provide more evidence of business transactions, audit, tax etc. Or you follow the preaction protocol method.

Note: if your husband is funding the trip, he should state exactly how much he is making available, present his own bank statement, tax etc.

Sorry, I am talking about Standard Visitor Visa

I did biometrics 28/3/2022 in Abuja for student visa still no update. I'm feeling something is wrong with the Abuja tls.

The sad part the company as no valid means of contact. No b juju b dt, for company that renders services.

Spoke with someone on this forum that promised to visit tls tomorrow

I hope he does and gets us something concrete

We are tired mehn

It seems to be peculiar to Abuja tls

Good day, guys. I don't know if this is the right platform for this question; I’d appreciate it if anyone could help. I'm currently in the UK and am planning to bring my parents over to the UK to attend my graduation ceremony, which will take place in July. Does anyone know about the process of getting a visit visa?

For study visa?

royalmu:
Your assertion might not apply to everyone.

Standard visitor’s visa processing time: Up to 12 weeks means your application will be treated within that timeframe. You might get it early if you are among the lucky ones. Some people get it within 4 weeks after biometrics while some are still waiting after 2 months

sawdikk:
For study visa?

No, standard visitor’s visa

You sounded very certain here that's why I said what I said. It's good you have now made the proper assertion as everyone's case is different. Cheers mate.

Damn! Where did you read it, please drop the link

Got this email today after a week I did biometric. It clearly explain how long it take to make decisions. Arriving UKVI today and I will stay counting 15 working days from today since I’m not for super priority or Priority and they also state it might exceed 15 working days.

I got the same email today too, exactly a week after biometrics in Abuja. Although TLS had one week ago sent a mail stating that my documents had been received by DMC and updated same on their website.

Away from this:- I think TLS Abuja is overwhelmed. I spent nearly three hours for my biometric appointment last Wednesday.

I also did biometric in Abuja last week Thursday and I didn’t spend more than 1 hour there, I was even attended to before my appointment time. My appointment supposed to be by 9:30am but we were ask to come in with 8:30 people

Please if one goes for self-upload service, what documents does he need to come with to the visa appointment center? Is it coloured photocopies of all the documents he uploaded?

GO with photocopies. If possible make all your documents A4 size as anyone you do not present in A4 size will be photocopied and you will pay N50 each for every of such.

Also, they will likely reject documents in A2 size e.g architectural drawings document.

Print your pictures in clear black and white as Abj tls photocopy is not so nice in photocopying pictures.

Go with your passport, photocopy of your passport data page and tls appointment confirmation. You dont need any other baggage, but make sure you must have self uploaded all supporting documents.

They actually denied you visa because you have not visited other country for same purpose of business show ? Hmmmm this UK is alway looking for any opportunity to denied visa.
