Hello good people,

You may recall my "saga" of making the wrong application category - Settlement instead of Tier 2 Dependent.

I am here to share the good news that I have finally gotten the correct visa (within 2 weeks of applying). In everything I thank God.

I now need some advice..

As we all know the vignette visa required us to travel within the 30 day period which I have done, with my 2 children. I have collected all of our BRPs. We stayed for a week.

The issue now is that I had to come back to Nigeria to tidy up a few affairs, close out on projects at work, clear the Nigeria house, sort out some family matters.

I reckon I will be out for about 2 months - after which I will move to the UK finally. My husband is still working and living in the UK

I hope I am not flouting any rules? I am seriously considering getting a lawyer considering the costly mistake of earlier...

Many thanks house.

If you paid priority and application was successful. You would be enjoying UK summer now. I heard the summer is in full swing now......

We emphasis on priority application for one simply reason, you take out the possibility of developing HBP......

Quick question for you, Would I include a TB test with other documents to sheffield or for my wife to keep and take it with her on departing from Lagos to Uk when she get her visa?

Thanks

Send her a copy via WhatsApp, but it's generally not required at POE.......

She will be going for it in June and mid July due to grandma funeral and will get the other documents
when my dad arrives UK for holiday. I'm looking at my options, the only thing that would delay us is a TB test.

As far as you’ve gotten your BRP and don’t stay in Nigeria for more than 6 months, you’re cool. Enjoy.

Update: my wife called UKVI yesterday and she was told that a decision has been made on my application already. They said the delay might be from the courier service bringing it down to Naija or the VAC (TLS Ikeja). Whatever or whenever the delay is from, fingers crossed.

We shall all share our good news soon

Be advised that you cannot stay outside the UK for more than 90 days in a year. If you do, you will have problems on return or possibly at renewal.

It took about 4 weeks before I got a replacement. After I reported it lost online and posted the replacement form, I got a letter telling me to go for biometrics on the 3rd February. did biometrics on the 6th February and got my brp on the 7th of March 2018

Please if you don't mind me asking did you receive any letter after biometrics? Also did you receive your documents before you received your BRP or did it come afterwards? Thanks

You can't stay outside the UK for more than 90 days in a calendar year.

I received my BRP same day my document came back. I got the document with a letter that my BRP will be sent i think in a week ( cant remeber exactly except i look for the letter) and not long after a delivery guy came with my BRP.

Hello Lexus,

Would my wife and daughter need all of their supporting documents with the exception of their passports when she go for biometric in Ikeja?
My dad will be coming to the UK before she go for her TB test appointment and biometric due to grandma funeral. I'm not sure if the people in Ikeja would ask for all these documents if she send them to me via my dad for me to send to Sheffield. Hope I'm not confusing you or anyone else?

Thanks

Documents submitted in for two, would not exceed 6...... Copy of your biometric page,

Sorry if I am. What I meant was, would they request for registry wedding certificate and TB test certificate at biometric session. I'm trying to find out if she need to send these via my dad or take them to biometric and send to me using premium service to receive in time for Sheffield.

I'm just reading this on TLS

"From the 5th of December customers applying for a UK visa in Nigeria will benefit from digital improvements to the UK visa application process. Supporting documents will be scanned whilst customers are at the visa application centre, and then given straight back immediately. These digital documents will then be sent securely to UKVI, with the passport, and visa officers will then consider the application in the usual way. This new process allows customers to retain their important supporting documents during the application process. This development is made available to customers using both our standard and Priority Visa services.

Apart from an applicant’s passport, all supporting documents will, where possible, be handed back at the Visa Application Centre after they have been scanned.

All documents submitted by customers applying for PBS Tier 1, 2, 4 and 5, EEA applications and other settlement and non-visit visas will be scanned at the Visa Application Centre and sent electronically securely to UKVI.

In order to avoid delays in the Visa Application Centre it is recommended that customers follow the instructions below:

• Bring your original passport (or travel document) and residence permit/national ID card (if applicable);

• Bring A4 copies of all of your supporting documents. Copies should be of reasonably good quality to be readable when scanned. Use coloured copies if necessary.

• If you would like to submit an old passport or a sponsor’s passport as supporting document, then you must provide copies of it as well;

• Remove any staples, clips or pins from documents before submitting them.

Presenting the documents in the format set out above will allow us to scan them more quickly, return them and reduce waiting times at the Visa Application Centre.

If you give her all the supporting documents in Nigeria, she would have to courier all back to you in the UK or she couriers them directly from Lagos to sheffield.........

Thanks to both of you. I appreciate your precious time.

Congrats once more!

Quick question for you, Would I include a TB test with other documents to sheffield or for my wife to keep and take it with her on departing from Lagos to Uk when she get her visa?

Thanks

I think u can just make a photocopy of the TB test result and keep with u but she wouldn't be asked to present it on a normal day.
I wasn't asked when I arrived tho.
Hope this helps??
