Good afternoon elders,

My TB certificate will expire on the 19th of August while my biometrics appointment is 27th of August, can I still use it on do another TB test?

Aslo, when trying to go to TLS homepage from Gov.uk to book appointment for one of my children I am getting this response "Application Creation Failed". I have tried several times but getting same response. Has anyone experienced this before and how can I rectify this error?

Will patiently await your input.

Thanks

I am not very sure if an expired TB will be considered. But I was told on this forum that one can be allowed to travel after it expires provided visa is issued. A suggestion will be you going to TLS ASAP and pay for flexi appointment. I think that should be around 42k unlike 58k required to do another TB certificate.At least 16k will be saved. But who knows . Maybe an expired one may be considered if not far from the date considering the lockdown. Anything is possible. But my police certificate expired and people adviced that I get another one.

Yes, I booked for two people at Ikeja today around 11 am after waiting for two days. You just have to keep checking. TLS make a few slots available at a time.

It is frustrating, my wife just went through the same annoying procedure, but keep checking their page, because they release the appointments every day. Especially between roughly 8 and 11 am and from 6 to 8 p.m., that is when you are most likely to get a date.

TLS has no known phone number, unfortunately, never seen any indicated anywhere.

Did you apply for a visa to attend an event which has passed or cancelled? If you did, that could explain it.

Sorry to hear this. Please who sent the message to you. Is it UK embassy or TLC? I will appreciate response please. Thank you
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by FYsol: 3:09pm On Aug 06, 2020
Quickly write them. It is either you are approved and they mistakenly missed placing the sticker or you were refused they missed putting the refusal paper.

I can only feel your nostalgia flipping from joy when you touched the nylon containing the passport and didn't feel any refusal paper to when you flipped through the pages of your passport and didn't see any visa.

Just keep up hope. I'm positive it is an approval with missed vignette. Write them ASAP.

Your passport should be ready by now. I messaged them through the “contact us” on their site.


Thank you so much...you have any idea for those at the "Application Received By DMC" stage, biometrics done same 12th March for visit visa.

Also does anybody know if Nigerians are required to isolate 14days on arrival in UK cos i have to factor that into my hotel reservation.

Thanks for the feedback

You are supposed to have gotten a decision already. Try and reach out to TLS or UKVI and tell them you are concerned about ur application. That they should update you.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by pufframmy: 6:46pm On Aug 06, 2020
thanks

mwenhen:
Initially I sent
Bank statement showing funds in account for 28days
Marriage certificate
Wedding pictures
Tb certificate

Three weeks later, I was asked to send in more Supporting documents because we got married a day after My husband’s Visa was issued, it was even after the wedding he picked up his passport.These are what I later submitted :

pictures of us hanging out with friends
Wedding invitation cards
Call logs
WhatsApp messages
Bank statement showing him sending money to my account
letters from best man and chief bridesmaid showing relationship with us, they added their ID’s
A letter from my dad too.
I just had to send anything I could lay hands on to convince them that it was not an arranged marriage. It was after I sent the supporting documents that lockdown started.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by moskito36(m): 7:04pm On Aug 06, 2020
UKVI has responded my mail by saying they will escalate my complaints. However they said that a decision has been made.

I used paid service.

Is yours standard business visit visa? I did biometrics on march18th and mine is still in "application received by DMC". I was to go for training and the time has now passed. So probably they expect us to reschedule the training date. I won't be surprised if they send a mail asking for new LOI reflecting a new training date. This is my first application though

Considering your age. His support will play little to no assistance at this point because the only visa you can apply for is a visitor visa and the decision will be based solely on your economic circumstances.
Except if he can come down to Nigeria to marry you.

What you will need is a marriage visitor Visa. It's about £95 and expires after 6months. You will have to submit documents to prove long term relationship between two of you. Two of you will have to get married within 6months of being in the UK. He will have to show evidence that he can support you or you show evidence that you can support yourself financially. He must be a British citizen.

No you don't need a covid test when crossing over to cotonou by land but might need it when flying into cotonou to cross over to Nigeria by land
