Is your partner living in the U.K.? Does he has a valid permit to reside in the U.K.? Note American Citizens can only stay in the U.K. For 6 months without visa.

yes he has all his documents. and he resides in the U.S of A but he has a bizness in the U.K

GodandVal:


Yeah I went there to the application center today and they told me to call their home office which I did just this night.

After charging the 20 pounds, they said they had made a decision since last week Friday and that within 10 working days which started last week so by next week, my passport should be out for collection.

okey. i am actually in similar situation. submission / biometrics at ikeja TLC on 15th May. No responses on decision yet, and my travel date is barely a week to go. The delay is just.........!!!

I would prefer to settle in the USA but at least a visit to the UK will pacify me.

adeptonlin:
Hello guys. I'm about to apply for a standard visitor visa. Kindly help me check if the following documents are enough :
1. Letter of introduction from my office
2. Appointment letter
3. Confirmation of appointment letter
4. Statement of account of 600k
5. Ecowas passport
6. Stamped payslip of 6months from my office.
Kindly help me state there other things that should be included.
Thanks in anticipation

If you are sponsoring yourself N600K is not enough, the only time you should use such an amount is if you have someone sponsoring part of your trip or fully. This amount would fly before but not now, you should only risk this with a personal guide. Except you thoroughly scrutinize your form filling technique and your documents

This is a bit complicated. To visit him in the U.K., you must shows solid proofs of enduring relationship with him. To settle with him in the US you must marry him. Proving spousal relationship is very hard as the home office will expect you describe in details everything about relationship, etc. I will advise you conclude on the marriage aspect first before thinking of applying either to the US or U.K.

Ask you bank to profile your card for international transaction. Or open other payment channels like PayPal and Paga.com.

Thank you so much for this, I just checked my application status thru this link u provided, a decision has been made on my application since 7th June, should I wait for tls to send me collection mail or should I just go the embassy at vi and see if my passport is there... just confused

ekpotek:


Is this your first application or renewal? What is the main purpose of your visit?

Tanks a lot,yes is my first time.i want to spend my annual vacation and also I want to use the opportunity to buy my wedding gown.

travelland:


You are good to go. I wish you success
P. S: make sure any lodgement in your account is explained with supporting evidence

Make sure your hotel reservation is not cancelled by calling them to confirm

Ensure that you have enough money to cover all the expenses of your trip conveniently

Good luck

ekpotek:


I suggest you contact TLS to change it, since you cannot do it again. You can do this on the TLS websites. Note you must register on the TLS websites using your GWF number to book appointment and pay for added value services such as priority.

Thank you.I registered and I just paid d 30k for d premium.I guess most pple fell victim of these payment except agent and some part pple that are used to the system.

Abeg where are some nice places to go on the weekend in the U.K. I dey Central London.

Okay. The ECO will judge your application majorly on your finances which in turn is tied to your job. So what will be your bank balance when you apply? Prepare a list of places of interest you intends to visit and shop.

If you are a science freaks, I would suggest the Natural History Museum, Oxford Street for Shopping. Westminster and Buckingham palace

Sorry about that. N30K is a lot of money to pay for a service that will not add any influence or advantages to your application.

Okay, thanks. I am just an Okay guy, indifferent about science and stuff !

since a decision has been made since may 24, u can go to their embassy at walter street VI to complain to them, they might give you your passport if its with them.
only go to the TLS contact centre if they have sent you email for collection, if not, go to their embassy at VI and complain to them, don't forget to go with your collection slip when going them, they will return your passport if its with them

Go to where you submitted your application. If your passport is not there then go to British Deputy high commission office on Walter Carington Cresent, Victoria Island. Go with your collection slip.

tmoneyluvsu:
Good day my people
I heard UK center in Victoria island now charge extra fees, how much exactly is it?
And I plan to visit the UK for Xmas and New Year, when is the best time to apply, as I've seen a requirement that says not more than three months from the day you're planning to travel, thank for your helpful responses.

What about tax clearance, is it required as well?

@justwise @ekpotek
I have made the online application for parents from UK.
Can I scan the supporting documents ( payslip, bank statement , grad invitation from Uni and tenancy agreement ) and send together with completed application via email instead of sending it down via DHL?

Hello guys this is my first time here, but I must commend how much problems have been solved through you guyz.
My fiancee is a nurse and i work as an insurance executive. She just got a job with an healthcare ptovider in uk and Certificate of sponsorship has been issued to her. She wants us to get married and apply together on her tier2 visa. I have a statement of account of over 2m as a dependant and I can get letter of introduction from my company. I like to know if our young marriage will not be an issue to the VO. We have been dating from university days.

House, what can replace the apartment rent receipt to be submitted along with the other supporting document?

Sure you can do that by email. However, the printed application forms are no longer required by the home office. You will need to register your parents on TLS website and book appointment for them to submit their passports and other supporting documents from you, as well as their own supporting document.
