For those who want to make payment for visa fee I can help with my Dollar card

Please how important is a cover letter or evidence of landed property when applying for a UK tourist visa.
Letter of Introduction from employer and leave letter has been provided alongside bank statements, marriage cert, hotel and flight bookings. Is a cover letter still needed?

And want to know when submitting deed of Assignment for property, is the first 2 pages and the last page for signatories enough or the entire deed.?

What documents do you need to take for your biometrics aside the checklist, passport and appointment letter?

Visa alert!

6 months visa for my parents
They have both visited the UK a few times between 2011-2014. Their last visas was 2years but I decided to apply for 6months since it’s being a long time they travelled.

Biometrics- 5/11/24
Received by DMC- 7/11/24
Collection mail- 21/11/24
Passport collected- 22/11/24

Documents submitted:

My Brp
Bank statements
Payslips
Tenancy Agreement
Contract letter
Utility bill
My birth certificate
Letter of Invitation

Documents submitted for them:

Property documents
Bank statements- Dad got a letter from church as he had some large deposits for church construction
Mum’s bank statements also had large deposits but we didn’t bother to explain
Their marriage certificate
Consent letter from my sisters who live with them

My dad has his own company and they have always used the company document to apply for their UK visa. However, we chose retired for them as the company is no longer doing well with the present state of the economy. As such, we did not submit any retirement letter or pensions.

Photocopy of the data page of passport, this is on the assumption that you must have uploaded your documents before going to the site

Ideally you submit all relevant documents and information that would help you present a better case to the case officer

I'll always advise that you upload your documents yourself cos at the centre, they'll help you remove some documents that they would say it's not relevant

Please are they the ones to determine what documents get uploaded? Can one not insist on what he wants to submit?

Just asking for guidance please, cos many of us actually chose the assisted service cos of the difficulty in getting self service appointment with TLS earlier.

TLS is not same as VFS

TLS probably knew they're leaving, and decided to do Nigerians dirty by deliberately blocking all free dates, forcing people to device the means of using assisted service to book appointment.

There are so many free dates with VFS that you don't pay a dime to anyone

Hello everyone,

Please. Thank you

I applied for my two children as dependents. They did their biometrics on 7th of October, we just got an email yesterday 25th Nov (rather 2 emails but for the same child) to come and pick up the passport. Up till now the email to pick up the passport for the second child has not come.
Finally, we have not received any email from UKVI. That email came from TLS. Is this a good or bad thing?

You shouldn’t be worried if you actually work there na, they might want to confirm your employment status, etc. I think it is a good sign.

They were trying to verify your employment.

You should be happy that they did.

They want to be sure you actually work with that organisation and once the Organisation confirms that you're an employee, your visa issuance is sure.

Australia did this on me in 2017 and after verification (not my job, but another organisation I did a partnership with based in sane Australia) I was granted

Not sure they verify after submission, as it's what you already submitted that would be reviewed
