What of in a case the grandma is a pensioner, will that kind of visit be proper?

Like using 5 months, use 1 month in Naija and come back for another 5 months

justwise:


Then a frequent visit will be questionable. Once a year is not bad

Please house, I have a few questions about passport renewal in London.
1. From people's recent experience, please, when is the earliest one can collect the renewed passport after capturing? I applied in may and was booked for appointment in July.
2. I couldn't see any appointment slip to print after passport registration, I don't know if this is a new development due to website upgrade or something. I need someone to confirm this for me please.
3. My passport expires in September, and I should apply for Schengen visa in August, do you think there would be problem if I apply for Schengen visa by having less down three months on the expiring passport? It's just a three days trip.
4. Does fast tracking exist with passport renewal in London?
Thank you for your help and God bless.
u need minimum of 3 months validity from the time you leave the Schenghen area for visa approval. Lower ur expectations about getting a passport in time. The workload given the amount of Nigerians in the UK has put pressure on the High Commission. Turn around time’s recently have been a big faff.

Good evening,
I need dire assistance regarding what address should be shown in a court affidavit done in Nigeria for a forthcoming passport renewal/name change due to marriage (passport renewal to be done here in london very soon).
Should the said affidavit have my Nigerian address or my current UK residence?
Please help!
nigerian address is fine

I guess there's no traveling for me be that. Thanks for your message. How about risking to apply for the Schengen visa or writing them to explain my situation?

My new employer paid for everything using a consultant so I'm not sure if they deducted or not

Like I said they might have deducted the amount.

I will suggest you call ihs using the paid phone call. They will be able to help

They didn't deduct anything as it's a different visa category. Unfortunately, the previous IHS is gone. Remember you chose not to complete the cycle of PSW visa by switching. Lol. Honestly, I wish you could get a refund, and that would be a precedent that can benefit someone I know.

It will be better you don’t spread fake information. My friend did and the remaining ihs was transferred to the application. Another one did his own and they didn’t transfer. However he called them and the remaining money was refunded.

Boss what do you consider as a frequent visit?
She's a Pensioner
Has just been granted visa presumably coz we just got a mail for collection.
Plan to stay for 5 months 2 weeks and return.
She's ever ready to visit at the most possible time even if its a week after. She's lonely and am her only daughter cool


If she visits and stays for 5months and returns to Nigeria and comes back again next year for another 5-6months that sounds reasonable but coming back to the UK after 2-3 months is just questionable to be honest. Nothing wrong with grandma visiting once every year or two to see grandkids .

Like I explained above yes that is questionable unless she returning back for medical check up or some other urgent reasons.

[quote author=Peerielass

There’s a bit of ambiguity here. The govt website says a refund is due if the IHS was paid twice. In my mind that means people that switch visas are eligible for a refund on the unused portion of their IHS. If you look online in other forums, you will find that people that have successfully switched visa have received IHS refund for the overlapping periods. I might be wrong but think it’s not so clear cut as you put it. [/quote]
Thank you for your response.
