@tunderule2016 Submission of application at Teleperfomance Ikeja attracts extra N18,000 and applications are treated here in Nigeria and it takes from 5-14 working days for UKBA to reach a decision, while at Teleperformance Victoria Island, you don't have to pay the extra charges aside your visa fee and applications are treated at Sheffield UK. @ifyalways was right.

The uk in sheffield can not verify any document from uk... The uk government from Abuja have a way of calling banks.... and trust me if there is one thing i know about uk... they are stingy with funds... the government does not even want to spend any amount on your application... so taking your documents to sheffield when it is a visitor visa i disagree..

tunderule2016:



If you are submitting a settlement visa it is treated in Sheffield regardless of where you submit in nigeria. Every zone have there section.. Every submission from Southern Africa Goes to Pretoria , South Africa; Every western africa goes to Sheffield in UK....American also are directed to Sheffield, Australia and that part of continent are directed to Manila in Philippiness.... so every section have got there Zone..

Nigeria states can not have two zones.... what is the 18 000 naira for ?

I Believe you do know that when you check visa processing times.... which you can check below... you can either chose Lagos or abuja, there is nothing like lagos VI or Lagos Ikeja so i will disagree with that except you show me otherwise..


I just got a UK visa for someone last month and it was applied @ VI... I can confirm to you it was issued in ABJ.

VISIT visa is issued in Nigeria (Abuja) , Settlement Visa is Processed in (Sheffield , Uk)

Please stop misleading people here. All I can do is laugh since you don't know what N18,000 is meant for and you cannot differentiate the consulate/embassy from a submission centre. Let me give you a little assignment, start reading from 2014 and you'll know what N18,000 does at teleperformance IKeja.

What is mis leading here .... I asked you a simple question.... which deserves a simple answer...
Firstly, The UK Visa Application Centre in Ikeja is converted to a User Pays VAC and not the VI.... secondly, every payment you make it is online so please THE MAN that does not mis lead.... educate me ..

I am telling you categorically that what you said about processing of VISA is wrong; this is my point to you ... the Visitor visa is done in NIgeria (abuja) and Settlement ( Sheffield).

Mr lecturer giving assignment ... why dont you give yourself an assignment and gets your facts right. 18000 Naira is for what that is all i asked you ...
Mr LECTURER IF YOU NEED GLASSES PLEASE TELL THE ROOM WE CAN HELP YOU OUT .... because in no shape or form , have i told or mention any location to anyone here or specifically told someone about the cost of visa fee... SO IF YOU ARE HAVING A BAD TUESDAY GO DRINK OR BITE YOUR PEN(BIRO AS IT IS CALLED)

I won't contest with you since you can't even differentiate the embassy/consulate and a commercial partner. You're too desperate. Just start reading from 2014 to know that the UK Visas and Immigration's new commercial partner is Teleperformance and they have ONLY three submission centres in Nigeria. Ikeja, Victoria Island and one in Abuja.

At Ikeja you pay extra N18,000 to submit an application. I won't educate you on this subject. Use google, but please stop misleading people here. Bye

Maybe if you have spoken the right words then i might have even understood what you were talking about ... An additional 52 pounds not 18000 naira... please try to always quote the UK GOV quote not your own... and there is noting in here that states... Because of that payment you will be getting your application reviewed at ABUJA... LMAO!! dude you are lost!!


An additional fee of £52 will be charged to use this visa application centre of Lagos Ikeja. You must pay this fee at the same time you pay your visa fee and before you attend the Lagos Ikeja visa application centre. Failure to pay this fee in advance will result in your appointment being cancelled.

My Tuesday is well. I come here to help and give valid and useful information to great people because this same forum blessed me. I get more than 60 PMs in one month but unfortunately I don't respond to personal messages because of the doctrines here which includes transparency and honesty. So my brother I am not bothered with your inconsequential tales. I don't need fame. I don't run a visa consultancy service, but project management firm. This is where I spend my leisure except on weekends.

My point is simple. Don't mislead people here. Don't come here to tell us UK Government can't spend money calling banks to get information because they're stingy. It's unprofessional.

Since you don't know Ikeja charge N18,000 extra to submit an application. I won't forgive you on this one. You also do not know Ikeja's timeline is different from Victoria Island's. I forgive your ignorance for this one, but my brother you goofed seriously as an agent. I don't just come here to post, I do extensive research.

I pity anyone that listens to you.

MR MAN. Don't say what you don't know. Haba!!! It is N18,000 extra, it is included in your visa fee if you're using Ikeja.

Dude..... READ!!!! and answer my question about what you quoted me saying.. did you see my message . You are accusing the wrong Human being.... that alone shows you are confused.... go and read when you speaking say facts ok... You owe me a big APOLOGY!!!! because u confused me to another and secondly , you tagged 18000 naira , next time say 52 pounds, then i will understand you clearer...

Good luck to you and for record purposes .... i can show you facts that my outcome on UK visa is excellent... I could be getting paid for this but i do it for free .. personal reasons... this is a way of giving back to my country as i Live here in UK...

Listen dude, i am not a professional i only give my knowledge and experience , for you it might be unprofessional but to me i am geninue and honest about me and i proof my words with links...

What is unprofessional about it... do you know how much stupid mistakes they have made on nigerians appliciation. Go and ask Mr google your friend it will tell you that THE UKBA was underfire for the wrong denial of applications coming from africa especially nigeria..

Anyways , i do not have time for this... YOU BETTER apologize or else.... you also will get a mis taken identity, because you have accused me wrongly

Apologise for misleading people? Done talking

Show me in the attachment where it mentioned tunder2016.... You are just confused if you can not just answer the simple question... Munch where i went against the person you claimed.... You are a waste of my time... It was a good laugh though but try to know it is a forum... when speaking include links, saves you from been confused.... and stop using 18 000 Naira... it is 52 pounds i believe that is what you are referring to.

We are not professional here so stop claiming professional, at work we can all be professional , here there is nothing like professional...

Lastly , you better apologize or i will come meet you there ... LASTMA has been called to come settle our convo... knowledge is always shared stop accusing and pointing fingers, i stand to be corrected any time but with facts and relevant links. so read everything before u start typing and see the attachment.

thanks For your response, i will do as you said, pls kindly answer my Question.
1. i hope dis £400 will not be too much for my transport and feeding ?
because am staying in an hotel at Ilford.
Thanks.

That figure is not too much considering the fact that your salary is above average. but if i'm making that list i will put it at £300, £100 for transport, £100 for feeding and £100 for ticket fees for those places you tend to visit.

I will adjust it to the said Amount...
thanks Bro

Na wao.

I still maintain that VI applications are sent to and treated at Sheffield. On the package or rejection letter, it's there " Sheffo"
People have being called on phone from Sheffield for visit visas when they invite family or friends. 2 people even affirmed that on this thread.

Embassies don't call to confirm bank statements, they email the banks concerned.

No one here is all knowing or an island. We are here to help each other, so all this pettiness is uncalled for, IMO

tunderule2016 and FrontPageLawyer, You both should sheath your swords please. Let's move on thanks

FrontPageLawyer:


If the funds are from unverifiable source. Do not submit the account, the outcome won't favour you.

Thanks frontpagelawyer. The fund in the account has been there for over a year. its actually a fixed deposit that drops into the account every month and rolled over with the interest.

What do u think. can I go ahead with this explanation?

Also can I just print the statement to the day before the lodgement.

nairacountry:
tunderule2016 and FrontPageLawyer, You both should sheath your swords please. Let's move on thanks

Noted... and thanks...

I never doubt you my dear... As for the Bank statement either way via email or phone call they contact banks because , when i used my bank statement once for a family.... i was contacted by my bank that the UK embassy called .. requesting if the funds were genuine but my bank never disclosed the balance... Anyways, the funny thing about visa is every situation is different for each person... It all depends on the circumstances.

What was funny to me was i never commented on your post or thread but if i get accused of something i try to clear my name off. Anyways, your point is noted.. cheers

Frontpagelawyer and tunderule2016... relax pls. Experience is the best Teacher, I want to state categorically that all applications submitted at VI center are treated in Sheffield UK.... All applications submitted at Ikeja center are treated in LAGOS.

My Aunt submitted her application last year at ikeja, and her visa was issued here in Nigeria which shows on her visa.

My friend submitted on a Friday at VI centre, church gate tower in lagos and my friends mum got a call from sheffield UK on Monday and few days later when we got the parcel on the 6th of April, 2016, the visa shows that place of issued- SHEFFO.

@ tunde... U are in UK and You believe in reading thru UKBA website, Frontpagelawyer had applied so many times and afterwards he got the visa, I am not an agent but I have helped so many people around me to couple documents for UK visa. UK can spend more than your application fee to verify whatever document submitted. The embassy sent a delegate from lagos to verify a microfinance statement account last year, Finally and I quote, sheffield and Ikeja belongs to the same UK Embassy. Shikenna

I do see your point and example.. and if you read the thread very very...good and unbiased; I said Visitor visa application which was applied for in VI was issued at ABuja.... this was a visitor visa....

Dude please because am in uk does not mean am not updated or i dont help people with UK Visa....so as i said everyone situation depends on how UKVI tackles your application... your last paragraphs (@ tunde... U are in UK and You believe in reading thru UKBA website, Frontpagelawyer had applied so many times and afterwards he got the visa,) Please try not to say things you do not know... because already you judging but i will stop at that..

and please when talking about VISA people should try to specify is it VISITOR VISA or SETTLEMENT VISA!!! but just saying visa complicates everything ....

I stand to be corrected but again i will repeat the Visitor visa issued to a family of two applied for at VI was issued from ABJ..

Me being in Uk does not justify my knowledge and experience so i disregard that point... but every other point u have made is noted.. and thanks ... but also, remember Every one case is different and handle differently . As you have stated Uk embassy sent a delegate to a microfinance... I have never heard that before but i have learnt from your sister case...


Someone said earlier UK only email bank.., However in a case years back UKBA called my bank this case u mentioned they sent a delegate which i have never heard but it is not impossible.. thanks again for sharing

Case closed not talking on this issue anymore...

Have a blessed Wednesday everyone!!! clamgo on my mind!!!
