Hi mates!
It seems the processing time for any category of UK visa now extends beyond 15 working days. Am I right?

What about your employment documents?
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Nengisbestie(f): 8:18pm On Nov 26, 2020
God bless you all for your help. We went to TLS office today and the five of us paid 11700 each for their document upload assistance, 65k each for visa fee + their assistance because we still weren’t able to pay using my husbands account.
20k each for urgent biometrics tomorrow.
Appointment is for 9am.
We hope for the best.

Why do u want to waste so much money??
Which one is you heard ma?
You have email address, you have log in details still you refuse to at least log in and see the dates available and then upload your documents and choose a self service/free date. I dnt understand though
There are appointment dates as people cancel every night once they change their mind. 42k per individual times 5 is a lot of money minus the visa fee. Check during the midnight hour for visa appointment and you would find.
Mind u if u have not uploaded ur documents, if u pay d 42k thats not d end of it, u must then pay another 12k each for them to help u upload ur documents. That is 54k per individual.
Dnt be rushing and make so many mistakes.
take ur time to know what d whole process is about.

For you to use the flexi appointmnet, last I heard is you must have an appointment date at least. Any date, have a date . U cnt just stroll in there without a date except you want to go and dash touts free money outside the gate because trust me they will rip you off very well when u are desperate and asked to go get an appointmnt date first.

I understand.
We couldn’t pay the visa fee and that’s the step that leads to document upload and all. We went to TLS office today instead of paying for walk-in appointment, they gave an option of paying 20k each for urgent tomorrow. We later did everything today and got appointment for tomorrow morning for same time.

My husband insisted on paying them so we can get it done with. We waited till they uploaded documents, paid and got appointments for us for tomorrow.
Our intended travel date is 18th December.
We really hope for the best because that 20k pepper me for body too. It is well. APPROVAL is what will make me calm down. We really hope for the best. Thank you so much for your concern. You’ll be the first to know as soon as we get a reply.

This is a seriouse one oooo.. try to mail them n excalate it
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Sanmigbola: 6:41am On Nov 27, 2020
I sent a mail after 15 working days of submitting my application and it was escalated, yet no response after the initial escalation.
I called the second time and it was also escalated but the second escalation will elapse next week Friday. It's frustrating, even the date for my vacation will elapse on the 29th of November, so what's the use of the visa except I want to keep it and apply later for the entire family.
It's so frustrating when I can easily visit other countries.

Is it possible for me to retrieve my passport and how? Please I need help!!!

My cousin just paid her Settlement Visa Fee but when directed to the TLS APPOINTMENT BOOKING PORTAL SHE COULDNOT FIND THE OPTION FOR ASSISTED SETTLEMENT SERVICE.
THE PLAN IS TO PAY THE £75 SERVICE CHARGE SO THAT HER SPOUSE CAN SEND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS TO THE UK SCANNING HUB. BUT THE WHOLE THING HAS BEEN FRUSTRATING HER SINCE YESTERDAY. PLEASE, SOMEONE SHOULD KINDLY HELP OUT.
