Congratulations! Sorry for posting this late

Hi All

My hubby has just done his IELTS A1 English test yesterday, he said he found it very simple.

Now for the TB test, is there only one centre to do this, and does anyone know how much it is? He was told by someone else waiting for a test they were charged 30000 Naira, is this correct?

Thanks all

Its 26,250 naira. Standard chartered bank has a customized teller for IOM,tell him to note his passport no. He can just walk in and tell them that he want to make payment for his tb test,they will put him through.

Thanks for the heads up there.

Does the bank give him a reference to show he's paid this amount?

thank you

Was your case complicated or straightforward? In the case of both applicants?
If case was complicated, the home office is probably seeking Legal redress or procedures on this case.
In the absence of patience, more patience is required!!!!!

In the communication you received, it was clearly stated 8 weeks for determination!!!
You only sent the passport this month. The length of time you have been waiting for this, is definitely longer than you gave left to go.
Patience is a virtue!!!! UK is hustle continua, no rest @all.

Hello people, this was the message I received from the determination team yesterday. I want to know if anyone facing similar problem received this message and what is the next stage for me to follow. I also want to use this median to thank all for their contributions so far. The message reads as follows:

"The SAT minute and determination was re sent to the ECO today this concludes our involvement.

The issuing of the Visa is now in the remit of the ECO in Lagos.

He will consider the Judges determination allowing the appeal and Specialist Appeals Team Minute informing him we are not challenging the appeal and once he has considered these findings he will then make his decision on the issuing of the Visa.

Unfortunately we cannot give a definitive answer with regard to timescale as this can only be obtained from the ECO.

Thanks

I have passed all this stage of determination, they have requested for my passport and I have sent it seen 7th. I have lived in uk for almost 8 years so I know what it entails to live in uk.

The shoulder of responsibility lays more on your wives door.
She has to provide all supporting documents. You don't need to submit much.
Makes sure her income is above or on the threshold set and she has other up to date documents to back your application.

Hello everyone,
I am new to nairaland, I am currently waiting for my spouse settlement visa. I applied sometimes ago in December 2014, which was refused. We logged in an appeal in 2015 which was successful. The determination was promulgated in 31/07/2015, ever since I didn't hear anything from them, until I wrote to the SAT(specialist appeal Team) they wrote me back, to inform me that they have concluded on my case, that they have since forwarded the matter to ECO in Lagos on the 11th of September and they further explained in that email that they were not going to challenge the decision of the the Judge. The email also says that the ECO in lagos is now responsible for the issuing of the visa.
What's really the true, is that the spouse settlement visa can be issue in Lagos or in Sheffield? Please, if there is anyone in the house with any ideal concealing this matter, please don't hesitate to advise. Your advice and comments will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Winso26

That ban would expire in 2022. Expect the ECO to stretch their long arms on you!!!!
