Hi ,

Please all the gurus and experienced travelers kindly help answer this .

I have always traveled to UK through Edinburgh airport cos my family members were based in Scotland and i schooled there too . I'm planning to use Heathrow airport for the first time, don't have any families in the UK anymore they moved to Canada.

I'm travelling to UK as a tourist with 2 kids and we will spend 4 weeks but in our visa application form i stated 7 days, will this affect us at Heathrow airport ? i never had issues at Edinburgh airport was never even asked how long i plan to stay - not an issue at all. You can stay as long as your visa has not expired

I have heard a lot about London Heathrow and want to go prepared . I also made arrangements for a short term vacation rental for 4 weeks cos i will need to cook and be more comfortable as i have minors, so this means I'm not going to the address stated on visa application and i even had to change travel date as the cost on British airways was very expensive for the date i filled on visa application, i moved travel date to a less expensive date in July and our return date is in August - it's fine. Plans change all the time. If anyone asks you at immigration, you say the truth. You need to have space and the freedom to cook etc hence your own private arrangement for accomodation.

1. will it be an issue that we changed the length of stay in London form 7 days to 4 weeks? - not at all. My kids have stayed for two months with no issues. And the length of stay in their forms were much shorter.
2. will change of address also be an issue ? - No. Again, say the truth when and if you are asked why you plan to stay somewhere else
3. must we have prove of accommodation printed? the flat we will be staying belongs to my husband's child hood friend , we can provide address but no booking evidence cos we will pay him directly ? what will you suggest we do? - Not necessary. Just ensure you know the address cos if you are asked, you should be able to answer that question immediately.

even if you add your salary account bank statement, it can only justify salary payments, if you can't explain or categorize other Inflows showing in the bank statement (s), they will give another refusal reasons. Any income asides salary as an employed applicant needs to be explained.

Guys; earlier this afternoon, I received an updated response in my paid email that a decision has been made on my application.
Please, when is it likely for me to receive a collection email? And any idea on how many days it would take courier to deliver from TLS VI to Ibadan?

(Biometric on 4th May)

This UK wait time is rubbish. Imagine [b]January applicant [/b]still waiting whereby someone who did bio in May has received their travel document. Everything about them is money. I regret paying so much for visa fee. I should have opted for somewhere else for vac. I hate when someone keeps me waiting. And they still do priority for visit visa. The visa is about who get money pass. To book appointment- payment, to request status paid mail, everything is paid. I dey frustrate abeg

Omo....I thought my case was the worst oh. Been waiting since March 15th. Finally I was able to send a paid mail last Friday only to be told that my case has been escalated to department handling the case. My take is that my application was abandoned else they would have provided usual response like... awaiting decision... decision has been made etc. But they rather told me to wait to be contacted within 15 working days. Imagine!!! After 13 weeks already for something they gave an average of 6 weeks. It's frustrating really.

I will be going to the UK on Sunday via Virgin Atlantic. I know the UK has removed all travel restrictions as per COVID. However, I am wondering if Virgin Atlantic does not have their own boarding requirements like negative PCR test etc. Their website didn't offer so much information on that. I really don't want to be caught off-guard by anything
