I picked 11th Jan, that was the earliest date available.

I applied for a business visa, I am not going to the UK for school.
Good luck.

tyllapia:



What date were you given at the long run? And also which university abi you are already in UK?

babylawyr:


Hi, it's very likely flexi appointment could be the reason you are not getting dates. Flexi appointment means that you can come at anytime during opening hours and they are limited slots, perhaps all the slots are taken.

Thanks. I finally got a date for 11th but I had to remove Flexi from my cart. I noticed it was the Flexi because I had same issues when I was trying to do mine on the 23rd too. I eventually got 6th for myself when I removed Flexi so I had to do same for my husband.
I have a question though. Can I walk in without booking Flexi online and go pay for it onsite? Will that be allowed?

No

Hi Everyone ,
In September,I went for my interview/ submitting my application and I haven’t heard anything.
Beginning of December, i visited VAC at Ikeja only for my passport to to returned without a UK visa sticker or any stamps.

On the 10th Dec, I wrote to UKVI, only to get this message :

With regards to your enquiry about the status of your application, our records indicate a decision has been made on your application. We cannot discuss the outcome of your application on-line or by telephone.

If your visa has been granted, a visa vignette (sticker) will be stuck inside your passport allowing you to travel.

i wrote them back explaining that I already have my passport but without a visa.

They responded that I write to this email (BRPLetterRequests@fcdo.gov.uk ) requesting my BRP decision/ letter.

it has been over 16 days ( 10 working days) and still no news.

I called them again today and was asked to wait due to the holidays. I’m getting FRUSTRATED!!

Do you think it might be a positive or negative outcome?

Hello good ppl of God! Please does anyone have experience with the global talent visa application? The digital tech route?

We did bio on the 8th; hubby (MA), me and two kids but we’re yet to get any update. Saw that we can track it on the tls portal which we’ve done but still showing that it’s at DMC.

No mail whatsoever, pls help with the timeline for the decision or is it still same as 3 wks(15 working days)?
Thank you in advance.

So we got NSF mail for the kids but no request for additional docs, just that they’re working to make a decision and would notify us if there’s any change.

So should we do a paid mail/call or wait it out? Or what’s the process? Thanks

How then do I book Flexi since it is unavailable online?

Hello House,

I am about renewing my visitors visa for 2yrs duration.

However, I have concerns around the balance in my salary acct. Asides my personal savings from monthly income, most of my funds are held in fixed deposit or mutual funds hence the low balance. I hope that the ECO will not rely solely on salary açct balances for arriving at a decision even though other supporting documents will be attached.

Note that my financial circumstances have improved from the last application and i visited the U.K for the exact number of days indicated in my last application.

Kindly advise pls.

Thanks for your anticipated responses.

Since you have choose a date and time. Click on amend booking and see if you can add an additional service.

If it does not work....call Tls contact center/customer care.

Goodluck

Please I need some enlightenment.

My husband is a student in the UK. I would like to go visit him in February and I have the funds to fully sponsor myself.
Since I would be staying at his place, does he need to invite me and state he is supporting with accommodation? Or do I just mention I would be staying at his place and show his tenancy agreement?

TJunoma:


Oh I never knew that. I thought all visit Visa have vignette sticker?

Mine doesn't have
The only thing is how you will obtain your brp because I think you will get it when you arrived UK
Infact they're even planning of converting every visa to electronic form

For a standard visitor visa, you will need a vignette sticker on your passport, so you will need to wait for their response.

Hello, i also applied for business visa. One of the documents I got on my checklist is for my sponsor (company) to provide evidence that they won't be in breach of government law by sponsoring me. We are not sure what kind of evidence specifically is requested here. Any thoughts?

It is good when you have a fixed deposit account because this will show that you have financial assets, but in making visa decisions, they like to see what is called "available funds." Available funds are money in a bank account that you have immediate access to, not necessarily a huge amount of money because the balance in my wife's account when she did her biometrics about 2 weeks ago for a 10-year visa was less than 2 million nairas.

I believe you will be fine because you have a travel history and you didn't overstay.

Thanks for the response, this is noted.
