Good afternoon house. I applied for a uk visit visa and did my biometrics 9th of May 2023 at Ikeja. I have been tracking my application and then today I saw that my application has been transferred to the VAC. I didn’t receive a mail from anyone (either TLS or UKVI) does this mean my application was successful and when the tracker says application received by VAC is when I would receive a mail from TLS

You should receive the mail after a few hours. The embassy is a little way from the vac and it's the VAC that will send that information of collecting to you

Thank you. I have just received it, will collect it on Monday

Please house,

What has the day of visa commencement been these days?

Is it the day your visa was stamped or a few days before your intended date of travel?

Hello

Complaints are about the services offered and professional conduct not on decision made on your application

That is for an administrative review, if you don't have that option,you have to reapply

Cheers

Ohh thank you

No i didn't, but someone actually ask me to since I recharged my prepaid online there's not way I could get receipts.

The only thing I added was the screenshot of email I received monthly from LIRS tax office

Teegal215:




Please Did you submit utility bill?

You have a better chance with what I read here. You don't need all those utility and rent agreed stuff.

Bcuz I didn't add any of these not even marriage certificate but I added my traditional marriage pics.

Teegal215:



Thank you for your response. Tbh i can't retrieve the rent receipt and the utility bill is not in my name so i thought it better to leave it out. I have always submitted utility bill tho but i moved apartments. All other documents are in order i believe. I do have an extensive travel history to UK, schengen countries, US and canada. i have a current valid US visa (used a few times) and a used valid canada visa. I don't know if to risk it

The visa has been approved, conflagrations in advance

Hello everyone. I need some advice on UK visas but please read this background.

Background: I'm a dual Nigeria / UK citizen and currently separated from my ex-wife who I married legally (court marriage) from Nigeria and I worked very hard over 6 years to sponsor her to relocate to the UK. Immediately after she got her UK citizenship 4 years ago, she changed and got violent whenever we disagreed so I moved out of our home to avoid me vexing one day and hitting her. So we're separated and not legally divorced. This separation happened 4 years ago.


Currently: I'm now living back and forth between UK and Nigeria and I met a lady last year who I married (only traditionally and not legally).

My question: What is the easiest way for my new wife to visit the UK considering that my ex and I are not officially divorced. I only want her to visit as I've decided that we will stay together in Nigeria for the long term. But I'll like her to be able to travel with me whenever I go to the UK. My new wife is unemployed and has no income. I've heard that I can plan her bank statements ahead of time but I'll like ideas and any advice from the experts in the house.

Please help a brother!

Hello everyone. I need some advice on UK visas but please read this background.
r!

she will never be regarded as your wife by the UK until you divorce the 1st woman. I am sure you know this as they only believe in 1 man 1 wife. Secondly if she wants to apply on her own merit and say she is going as a tourist that means she cnt mention you as husband yet?
She is not working so how do you want to show ties? Unemployment is a huge negating factor. Arranging bank statements mean u want to make a story of her been an employer of which it shud be a company, crediting her acct monthly with salary, then providing her with employment documents(payslips, employment letter, promotion letter maybe) as though she is an employee etc. a lot of hardwork and making up things that dont exist. Or self employment is another route. Those are d only ways
Truth is thats not the only thing they look at, the whole process is wholistically approached by the ECO who after all this might still deny the visa as he is not convinced she will return to her home country based on other factors

hello everyone, please anyone going to middlesex university, i was asked to wait for POF to get matured which is 28days before submitting to middlesex univerisity. Pls how many days will it take to collect my cas letter after submitting my POF to the university.
Secondly, after collecting the cas letter, am i still going to wait for another 28days to apply for my visa.

Have a look at rightmove or zoopla they have lots of properties in the south east where your Lewisham is located.

If you already on ground then churches and shop ads are a good place to start.Always view before you make a commitment as the photos they use are not always what you see especially flat shares.
Good luck.

If your planned trip is still ABIT far

You need to work on your account statement.
Have an account that only receives money from your employer, on a fixed day every month. With transaction details written as "salary for the month of May" for example when you are paid like say, on the 5th of June.


You will need letter of employment from your workplace backdated to two, three, four years ago, clearly showing congratulatory message addressed to you with breakdown of annual salary, monthly basic salary and entitlements which is like 50,000 less of the what has been deposited in your account for the past two or three months. This letter must be a letter headed paper from your workplace signed by your employer.



You will need letter of promotion back dated to say 3 months ago, showing congratulatory message addressed to you of an increase from your previous fictitious salary to what it is now this letter must also be letter headed and signed by your oga.



You will need a casual leave letter of a week duration with documented date of leave and date of resumption. Also signed, watermarked, thumbprinted by your oga.


Goodluck in your next attempt

God bless you this is detailed, and feel perfect please would you advise me to re apply?

I mean when can I re-apply

isholex:


God bless you this is detailed, and feel perfect please would you advise me to re apply?

Rather than a transit visa you can apply for standard visa as it will justify all the stress you are going to go through from procuring documents to self uploading.



Reapply 2months - 3 months to when you want to travel

In say, 3 months from now.


Your bank statement should be clean with only payment of monthly salary as source of income.

Your withdrawals on a monthly basis should remain consistent as well with stated purpose in transaction details above 10k for example feeding money, shopping spree, interstate transport fare.

Disposable income at the end of every month should remain same or 10 to 20k more or less.



The Open account balance if high must be explained as accumulated funds since employment. Though it would be a good idea to not make it too high so as not to be flagged for lodgement for visa application. If it is as low as 200 naira also explain why it is very low.


The closing account balance must have enough money such that once your stated trip expenses were to be removed, what will be left can reach to book express flight out of the UK on even British airways.


Don't forget to attach cover letter containing summarised details of who you are, where you work, details of how much you earn, Letter of employment, casual leave letter, letter of promotion, breakdown of expenses to be made on this trip scaled to oanda GBP to NGN exchange rates(your expenses should be only slightly above 2 times your disposable income at most) and finally state emphatically why it is imperative that you return to your work in Nigeria before the leave expires.

Please I have a question. I am applying for visa with my wife. She is applying for Skilled worker and I as a dependent. I have used her GWF number in my application. Getting to payment, hers is showing error during payment while my payment has gone through. My problem is that if she starts a new application, I will have to cancel mine and restart because I need her GWF number in mine. Has anyone encountered this and how should we go about it. Also I heard that if you try payment 5 times and it’s unsuccessful that you are forced to restart the application. Is this correct. Please I need help to inform my next decision. Thank you

Cyprus immigration denied me entry, I want to know if this a red flag while applying for UK visit visa. Please someone should advice me on what to say on the form where they ask if you have travel to any country before, or should I go and enroll for another passport.

I was told at port of entry that my name was not in the school system while I have my acceptance letter with with me showing deposit of $1k I paid. It was fraustrating though I was not the only person, we're about 6 in number that day. Worst part be say they don't understand English and they will never give chance to explain yourself.

OK. Declare this information on your visa application,because there is no way you can hide it, your passport will be scanned. Also, you may need to explain why and how it happened in a brief. I wish you the best.
