I want to reapply for settlement visa on the third week of December but ielts lifeskill A1 test will expire on 11 January 2019
Which is few weeks from the day I want choose an appointment date... I don't know if it will affect my visa ... Please help a sister

Since visa application would be viewed after 11/01, I would suggest a new test to avoid any refusals.....

I am reading conflicting stories about test expiration.....

Good day all, pls I have an issue at hand and I will like suggestions from gurus in d house. I applied for my uk spouse visa on 6th aug 2018 did biometrics on 16th aug 2018. On 6th nov 2018 I received the not straightforward mail and since then I haven't heard from them. No call to sponsor nor me. It's been 76 working days. Your advise is kindly needed. I didn't know I have this kind of patience till now. Help a sis.

No cause for alarm, keep waiting........

Yes..... Make sure it's a full certificate.....

[quote author=Lexusgs430 post=73496560]

Yes..... Make sure it's a full certificate.....
Full certificate Please explain

[quote author=Beautifulasha post=73503159][/quote]

If you send your certificate to NARIC without your transcript, you receive a partial assessment...... Avoid submitting a partially certified NARIC certificate ( hence full certificate)....

You gerrit?

One of our very attentive students, always asking numerous questions, never missed a lecture and always prepared the best cups of tea and coffee for lecturer's......

For this reason, we exclude you from tithe payments...

Congratulations.....

Plan for Feb 14 in the UK..... (that we cannot crash)

I cannot express my absolute thanks enough to everyone here especially oga Lexusgs, justwise and everyone who has taken out time one way or the other to share experiences and advises.

Here is my timeline:
24th September 2018: Submitted application online
27th September 2018 (Earliest date): Bio-metrics
17th October 2018: Documents received
7th of November 2018: Hubby sent an email asking for update, and we got a response saying a decision has been made (apparently, I don't think a decision had been made then as I got a request for additional documents few days later and a not-straightforward email also)
14th November 2018: Request for additional documents (You have submitted a degree certificate from Covenant University along with a UK NARIC Certificate confirming your qualification is the equivalent to a Bachelors degree in the UK. In addition, although you have submitted a letter from the university confirming the course was taught in English, we require a UK NARIC certificate confirming that was the case. Please contact UK NARIC to obtain this)
14th November 2018: Not straightforward email received
16th November 2018: Additional document sent via email to the specified email address (after contacting UK NARIC, they confirmed that I only need the English language assessment to back up my already submitted statement of comparability. NB: To avoid plenty wahala for new applicants, jejely use UK visa and nationality if you are using the NARIC route)
16th November 2018: Email from Sheffield confirming receipt of additional documents
22th November 2018: Decision made email and passport ready for collection email from TLScontact (decision was actually made on 19th of November and vignette valid from 26th of November)
29th of November: Arrived in UK to my husband and the very cold weather (30degrees to 4degrees is the the real definition of culture shock)

Lol, but I thought we’re to send the IHS payment receipt and visa fee receipt to Sheffield with the supporting docs. I want to be sure it’s basically a printout of email they sent after paying those things.
