The email is generic and means nothing. Just wait for the decision email.

smallbuhmighty:

I hope uthis is true. Thanks

Kaleydd2000:

@Ekpotek

I sent you a pm.

Thank you for your time.

Good day Justwise, ekpotek and all other gurus in the house, what do you advise I do at this stage?

I applied for a 6month visit visa to attend my brother's convocation coming up on the 18th of April , I submitted the online application on the 10th of march, I had my biometrics on the 14th of march, I got a mail from UKVI acknowledging receiving my application on the 22nd of march.

Till this moment UKVI is yet to make a decision, it been over 20 working days since I had my biometrics. The convocation is just 5days away.

Is this delay a ploy to refuse me? Do you advise I contact them? If yes, which medium is best to reach them?

kesx:


@justwise @ekpotek ..... Your advise is urgently needed!

justwise:


I don't think its a must to submit both but submitting both strengthens your application

ekpotek:


What was the main purpose of visit from which your previous visas were issued? Did you used a sponsor in your previous application?

ekpotek:


Yes that’s true. Read section of 150 of the link on english language requirement posted by Justwise.

ayofe72:
@justicewise. Please how do I link up with you?

buddiemm:

Ekpotek, I have read the section 150 but that talks about APPLYING FOR LEAVE TO REMAIN. She is not applying for leave to remain but want to apply afresh for ENTRY CLEARANCE from Nigeria. So we want to know if dhe doesn't need to apply for UKNARIC certificate conversation once she was granted a PREVIOUS LEAVE as Tier 2 minister of religion migrant. Please read section 164 to understand what am saying and let me know sir so she won't be confused. Thanks

sutelk:

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the UKNARIC certificates are issued once and are valid for life unlike IELTS that has a 2 year life span.
In my opinion, if she already has UKNARIC issued once, she should just include that same certificate to her fresh application, no need reapplying to UKNARIC to assess qualifications they have previously assessed.
This is the opinion of a small learner like me, but I think I'm correct with the little I know. Gurus in the house over to you.

buddiemm:

When she went to the UK in 2012 as a Tier 2 minister of religion migrant, the law doesn't say they should send their certificates to UKNARIC for assessment. She only submitted her degree certificate and English language proficiency letter from the university she graduated from to the embassy and her visa was issued. But now it requires sending your certificate to UKNARIC for assessment before submitting your visa application. We now read on section 164 of the Tier 2 guidance that points will be automatically awsrded for English language if u had previous grant of leave on Tier 2. That is what we want to be cleared of if she won't need to send her certificate again to UKNARIC. Thanks

mightyola:
Visit/Tourist. Yes,same sponsor for both application

phinajoe:
My uncle wants to invite my sister to the UK, if the procedures start this month.. Can she travel before the end of next month if approved.

I ask because I saw somewhere that it should be 3 months before the intented date of travel.

Kindly respond.. Thank you.

Guys, I am glad to have found this thread on Nairaland. I have surfed through the pages, gathered quite a number of information, actually almost dizzy with the volume of information am taking in. You guys are really doing a wonderful job here.

I intend going to the Uk for a short course in the oil and gas related safety in August. Based on the things I have read here, let me write down some details about my situation that I need your advice on.

1. My present employment commenced in Oct, so it's less than a year.....Does it affect me negatively?
2. I was in my previous company for a period of about 5 years which ended in October last year. Is it going to count?
3. My salary is above 600k per month - after all deductions......Does this suffice for the visa?
4. I have no tax certificate as my previous company defaults in tax payment....Is it necessary to include?
5. My dorm acct has 5000 dollars now, but tuition fee for the course is 2700 pounds ..... Should I pay for the course before applying?
6. Savings acct has only 2.5M naira, Salary Acct has only 1M naira at this present time, all accounts are in same bank. Have other accounts but want to keep it simple for any explanation as I want my source of income to be only salary. Is this enough?
7. Will visit a relation who is resident and works in the UK, so trip will be 4 days course plus 5 days visit. Should I include the visit in my application and collect letter of invitation?
8. No previous travel history. I already read that this does not matter, hope am right.
9. Married with children.....What kind of proof should I include?
10. Own my own house...Do I need to present evidence and what kind of evidence should I present for this.

I will like to report my steps here as I progress and will appreciate every piece of info that will help me, the course is for August and I hope am not late yet in starting this process.

CC justwise, ekpotek, etc, make una come o.

Grateful to you all and Almighty God.
