Thank you @justwise for the response but unfortunately I can not sit for the correct test because without my passport which I submitted with the application I cannot write the test. The only option is the UK NARIC. To get transcript is a problem because schools only forward the transcripts to schools not individuals and I need the transcripts for upload on the UK Naric site for them to process it. I just don't know what to do now whether to apply with statement of results only?

You should get a response next week hopefully
Pele, its almost over

Lamakinde:

I did on 17th of August too as the applicant. But I think you have to count the working days which won't be up to 11 week. I hope Saturdays and Sundays is inclusive.

AkeAlbert:
My biometric was on the 8 of august, on day 57 today...my wife is making it worse as she cries everyday.

You need to act fast, without paying the NHS health charge you are likely to be refused.

AkeAlbert:
you're on your 10th week today which is day 50, I just checked the working day calculator. And no, weekends aren't included when counting

Thanks for the response. Please how long did it take to receive the transcript? And how much?
You mentioned that I have to follow up with my institution! How do I go about that? Do I have to call or go to my school again after paying them to get the transcript?

Phoenix77:

Thanks so much I really appreciate I will get on with this now and ask questions later and do I need to take d English test? So I can get that out of the way before the application is ready.. or what do u suggest.

Phoenix77:
Pls house, my wife is British and I plan on relocating there, does that make my application a settlement husband or is it the settlement wife pls. It's better to ask silly questions that make silly mistakes.

ronvlaar:


Someone once said his/her visa was stamped on a Sunday #justsaying

AkeAlbert:
Really! Sunday??....that's strange. Well that's even better

Lamakinde:


Sunday ooo, Saturday ooo...........May God answer our prayers with Success, amen.

Phoenix77:
Pls @Aphrodite007, @justwise and the house who has an idea on how I can take the correct English test as going through the NARIC will be to stressful for as I don't have the time to be travelling all the way down to my school from lagos.
2) do I confirm my application after I have filled the online portal form or how do I proceed from the confirmation of my application thanks.

Aphrodite007:
I did a master’s in the uk, so I don’t need to take the test, but the test is very important. You can go the NARIC way if you have a Nigerian degree or take the IeLts life test (I think it’s called). Please scroll back 3 pages and read from there someone mentioned the tests and another mentioned the method with NARIC. Some gentle man even posted a way to get your transcrip faster if you scroll up my response a bit.

I would implore you to go back at least 10 pages from this, to see what you can gather.

Feel free to post questions, even if I might not be of much help, someone will.

GodandVal:



Should I wait for them to send the link to me to pay as I stated in the letter or go directly to the website and pay?

Remember to chose settlement - Husband or Wife
Actually we all learnt through reading up because of different circumstances relating to each applicant.
For starters as the applicant, you will need your sponsor to be earning £18600/annum if you are without child or if your child is a British citizen.
With a child it increases to £22,400 and additional £2400 for subsequent child.

P60 of that year
Six months account statement
Payslips
Letter from the employer on letter head signed stating the year of employment, Remuneration

Guys you won't believe this, got a decision made email and passport ready for collection 4 hours ago without knowing... I just checked TLS now, the weekend is really gonna be long. Day 58 today standard

justwise:


The applicant doesn't need to add his or her own bank statement or letter from employer, the sponsor needs to submit all that.

Tenancy agreement is enough you don't need to add receipt of rent payment.

If you are renting 1 or two bedroom flat you don't need a letter from your landlord allowing your wife or husband to live with you, show me where that is mentioned as a requirement. You only need a letter from landlord in the case of multiple occupation accommodation

Please the matter of licenced marriage certificate from a licenced church ie form E FGN marriage certificate issued in a licenced church to be used for spouse visa has being my concern. Please @justwise and other moderators, will this pose a problem?
