Please my visa is valid from the 20th of August. Hope it’s okay for me to travel the same day, 20th?

@duchess90

Cashmadam:


What you did was wrong. You learnt the hard way.

Go to the head office TODAY and beg whoever is in charge to respond. Don't leave the Head Office until it is resolved.

If they don't respond, your visa may be refused.

I pray you get this resolved.

heykims:
I don't have 2 documents in both names but I have our marriage certificate, our child birth certificates, receipt of property bought in both names(but no address stated).
Can I choose NO for an answer?

giselle237:
I hope you are filling the right application?

duchess90:
Hello

If your entry date starts from 20th August you can travel that day

Cheers

kingstonkk:
Please will I be required to present an up to date POF at point of entry? I heard it's a possibility..
So I can request for an up to date bank statement a day to my travel date

Thanks 🙏

Credit me the 60k I used in paying for it now.

Scottiemi please how do you know that the UKVI contacted your bank ? And which bank did you use for your PoF:
@duchesss90 and all the gurus in the house good morning and God bless you all for the amazing work you do.

My husband and I got married in May 2023, he is the main applicant, and I am the dependent.

We did our biometrics at tlsIkeja on the 28th of July and we have since been tracking and monitoring, no mail at all but we knew our bank was contacted and they confirmed our proof of
funds.

This morning the tracker changed to "Application Transferred To VAC", but still no mail, nsf, or brp, none.

Please should I be worried, I feel so shaky.

Thanks and sorry for the long write-up.

I use my company letterhead as reference for uk student visa application. UKVI now send mail to them but they are refusing to reply the mail saying I didn't follow due process by informing the headquarter office before using the company letterhead for such things. Which I did not know because it was the branch office I use the letterhead from and I was thinking that they ukvi will contact the branch office bcoz the official email of the branch is on the letterhead. I have plead with the headquarter office but they are adamant that they will not reply the mail even to the extent that they want to sanction me. Please what can I do in this situation? I have spend a lot to get to this stage

skayT:
My questions are

1) Do you work at the branch office?
2) Did you get the approval of your line manager/superior before using the reference letter from the branch office?

If both answers are Yes, I don't think you should be blamed here. The branch office is an extension of the HQ.

You can also go to your HQ and plead with them, but if they refuse to listen to your plea, just hope the ECO won't use that against. Cuz you can actually still be given a visa even without them replying. Its not all organizations that even reply UKVI to even start with.

Of I may ask, how did you hear about UKVI wanting a reply from your organisation? Was it your HQ HR that informed you?

olajide2021:
Pls on the reference letter you submitted,hope it's carries only your branch Admin officer email address?Then, ukvi should contact your branch admin officer alone and not the head office.
Except,if you use head office letter head and it's show head office contact email.
I guess...

Yes it carry the branch admin officer email and even branch official email,suprise that ukvi went to contact head office.


quote author=dave0450 post=125126647]


Yes I work in the branch office my believe was ukvi will contact branch office since they are the one that know me vry well.
Yes I got the approval of our AHR(Admin officer) in the branch office, he is the one that even help me to draft the reference letter.
Yes it was from HQ that dey contact me,that UKVI send them msg to confirm if I'm a staff.

I even sumbit my appointment letter,promotion letter to UKVI when applying just to prove that I'm staff.

Hello

Yes those slots are reserved for SPV

Yes you have to pay for prime time service

There are some late free slots you should grab if you don't want to pay for any extra service at TLS

Good afternoon my Nairaland family. Thank you for always. Please can a single parent guide me on how they were able to get self custody for dependent kids, especially if the divorce process has not been concluded. While considering the fact that the person has from now to December to take the kids because of the new law and will a consent letter from their dad enough?
Please advise. Thank you

Hello

1.People have struggled with paying using their naira master card, it might be worth speaking to your bank and getting a dollar version perhaps

2. You have 4 years study gap, the request for study gap evidence is when it is more than 5years.

Keep your application simple, provide what is stated in your CAS and the additional Tb test and bank statements

Cheers
