Hello everyone, please I have a worry.

Have completed biometrics and submitted passport to VFS, then later realised I did not add a scan of all the pages of my passport as it was a new one and all pages are blank, only added the data page to my self uploaded documents.

Please should I be worried about this? Any responses will help, thanks

Giftedmilli:
Good afternoon
I need a fast response- did I have to demonstrate tie of landed property in uk student visa application.

Gracey95:
Good afternoon guys.
Please I did my biometrics on the 8th July with a priority service. The processing time is 5 working days and till now nothing yet from UKVI. I received an email on the 16th of July that my application is under consideration, and till now nothing yet.
The its a business trip and my employer is sponsoring. The issue now is that the event has passed, the event held on the 19th. I'm a little worried, will the application still be considered and even after the event has passed?. Please any one with similar issue or advise on what to do? I'll really appreciate.. Thank you

Debbieeeeeee:
Hi Gracey, please at what point did you pay for the priority service?
You can call the paid helpline or send them an email regarding your application.

Gracey95:
I paid before my biometrics

giselle237:
Not needed.
Student visa is points based. Meet the points and you would get the visa.

jmoore:
Why not? Any tie in Nigeria that gives them reason you would come back should be given.

Debbieeeeeee:
On the vfs portal?

Gracey95:
Yes Debbiee. From the VFS portal

And there's no number or email address to reach.
I only did the priority so that I can meet up with the event date, but now the event has passed and nothing from them. It's really getting me worried

Davinton:
Good evening guys, i got this mail 3 times within an hour. It seems like a mistake as i did my biometric on 19th of May. Also, a subsequent mail was sent to confirm my application. I have been waiting for a decision since then. I dont understand why i am getting an e-mail to book an appointment for biometric. Should i be worried or it's just a technical glitch?

Hello house,
I am in the process of applying for a six-month visa to write Plab 2 in Manchester.
I am in a dilemma concerning the middle name on my documents.
My birth certificate issued by NPC (in 1997) reads Muri Abdul Akin while all my other documents (Passport, NIN, Degree Certificate, Plab 1, IELTS, Plab 2 booking etc) reads Muri Abdul Ope.
1. Is it necessary to attach my birth certificate as part of my evidence during the application process?
2. Will this disparity pose any threat or raise any red flags to my visa application?
3. If yes, how can I please resolve this?
NB: As typical of most Nigerians (esp Yoruba), I bear both middle names. As this is not a case of change of name.

giselle237:
You don’t need the birth certificate.

Biometrics 16th July, Decision arrived 21st July -- Standard visitor visa, 2 years. Thank you guys!

Ayoleyi77:
I got a refusal on a visit visa to attend my MD Son's wedding which was 100% sponsored by him but i was refused based that the VO said he was not convinced I was not going to work since i was going in the capacity of a personal assistant, the refusal letter came 5 days after submission after which my MD suggested we reapply again to address the reason raised by the VO. I reapplied and did my Biometric since 3rd July, since then, no response while someone that had biometrics for 2nd July already had her visa since last week monday and i am yet to receive any mail or response from UKVI. Do i need to be worried?

jmoore:
Someone I applied for did her biometrics on same 3rd July. No decision yet. I think decision should come in this week.

Visa Alert

I am happy to announce that I was finally issued a six month visiting visa. I was a first time applicant.

Thank you to everyone that contributed and still contributes to this platform. Your contributions were quite instructive.

Please, I tried to book my flight for end of August but I discovered that Royal Air Maroc is the cheapest. Please, regular travelers, is the Airline a good option?? All other Airlines are too expensive.

Please do you think my application was successful this time??

Also, how long does it take before the courier delivers my International Passport cos I already booked a visa appointment for 1st August for Schengen Visa just in case UK wan cast me again.

I am just anxious and haven’t been able to focus. I live in Port Harcourt and also did my biometric in Port Harcourt.

Is there a way I can track the movement of my passport to know when it will arrive in Port Harcourt??

I see a lot of people looking through the forum regarding UK visas.

They are not particularly difficult to get if you approach it in the right way.

I have a lot experience in UK visas, so maybe I can help, let me know.
