Soraco57:
good afternoo as a matter of urgency, how much is the visa fees and how is payment made, thanks

leef2022:
Oh yeah? TLS handles administrative review?

aminlove:
Just to reconfirm, anybody that went to UK very recently... Is COVID test or Vaccination still optional, I know they are on the website, just reaffirming?

Ayodelemi1:
Good afternoon, I sent a paid mail, after some hours, I received this message from them. I believe with God all things are possible. Has anybody receive such message?

Ekeadatrust:
Please can someone give me the email address of the UKVI paid mail or how to go about the UKVI paid mail

DFmum:
11 weeks of successful administrative review, nil mail for passport submission yet. When will this be over?

leef2022:
Sorry, but you can only wait further until you get a collection mail,whilst doing so keep using paid mails/ and calls as would be applicable.

leef2022:
A decision has been made doesn't directly translate to travel documents is ready for collection.

Toydex4real:
Can someone pls enlighten me on go about this maybe I can go back there again. Is there a particular office I have to go directly instead of waiting in line with the people who are there for their passport collection? Or is there a way I have to explain to them in other for them to be able to help me check if my passport have arrived or not? I thought they were going to help me check when I went there but they only explained to me that I have to wait till they email me to come for collection. I’m getting tired of waiting already. Biometric has been done since February.

LadyXB:
Thanks for the reply.

Ours was done on the 17th January

Several paid calls but still no decision

They’re just saying that the Ukraine crisis is causing some delays and they can not give specific timelines

I guess we’ll just have to wait and pray

LadyXB:
Hello house,

Thank you for all the posts, everyone’s testimonies have really been helping me through this excruciating wait.

Please has anyone who applied in January 2022 heard back yet?

My spouse and I have passed 60days but we have heard nothing

Toydex4real:
Hi everyone, I’ve been worried lately. Had my biometric around early February, (dependent). Main applicant (student) has been approved and is already in the UK since March, the main applicant happens to be my wife. Paid mail was sent on the on 04/05/2022 and a response was received saying decision has been made that I just have to wait to receive my passport. I will like to know how long it going to take for me to receive collection email because I believe the wait is getting too long. Thank you

Good afternoon my people, please can anyone recommend a cheaper car insurance company for holders of international driving license?

The price I'm getting from this comparison websites is killing. The cheapest is charging me 320quids a month ( go girl)

favoured247:
I don't live in lagos so I can't fly down when I have no confirmation that my passport is with them. I tried looking for tls phone number online but didn't find it. So I sent a mail to tls and they replied 4 days later that they will contact me when they receive my passport. That processing time now takes longer than it is stated on the uk visa portal.

favoured247:
Their processing time is inconsistent. Some take shorter times while some take very long. I did my own biometrics since January. Was supposed to travel in Feb. But up till now I haven't gotten my passport. I have sent 3 paid mails and they confirmed a decision has long been made. But they are still holding my passport and my status when tracked still shows dmc

Do you have to quote the whole thread? Run away..........

IcecoldDon:
My online family, a wonderful day to you all. I feel so blessed and grateful for all the advice, knowledge, support and help i get from this platform directly and indirectly. My family ( wife and 3 kids) arrived safely to join me in the UK 2 weeks ago, and little by little, we have been acclimatizing and trying to settle down as a family. I have been here since October 2021, but based in Coventry as I am doing my Msc in Coventry University. But I rented a place in Birmingham as I preferred to settle there and my extended family (2 brothers) also live there. The whole process of 'japaing' with the entire family, the mental, physical, emotional and financial stress will be story for another day.

This post is to give accolades to all the elders and everyone who regularly give feedback, responses and information on this thread, which i believe might just be the last genuinely world-class level of goodness and humanity left for nigerians to nigerians who despite being strangers are so good and kind to each other. May God continually bless you on here. There are too many people to mention here who have been towering icons of knowledge and help, to both me and hundreds, requiring information for life changing decision, God will continuously richly bless and keep you and your families.

From my experience, and following the give back culture of the elders of this thread, these a a few of what i learnt that might help other people as well;
1. If a family plans to relocate, It helps a great deal if the husband or wife comes alone first, to try to settle things down in terms of accommodation especially, and other arrangements especially if 2 or more kids are involved. I know this isn't possible for all families, but from my personal experience it helps sooo much especially in terms of cutting down initial expenses and ensuring the best decisions are taking without too much pressure.....e.g kids in winter cold..arrrgh.
2. Try as much as possible that you have family or very close friends in your final destination town. The help of people already settled in a place can be invaluable in terms of all the help they can give. I can testify to this. My brothers saved me over and over, from helping me pick up household items that i bought, to helping me install beds and carry couches, standing as rent guarantor, to doing grocery shopping and helping me set up the house before my family arrived. As much as possible, base decisions on where you have a deep prior relationship, it is very very hard when you do not know anybody.
3. The couple should endeavor to save as much as possible, in terms of the partner in UK as well as the one back in Nigeria. Plans for selling properties and possessions should start early enough and be organized for maximum returns. We started a month early, itemized all the things we would sale in a excel table with predicted prices and actual prices to guide us. You will be surprised how much can be done with Jiji website as well as a page called Declutter, as long as you know how to navigate these platforms. Try to avoid selling or listing things to family and friends, you won't get good prices but rather gift them what you can spare and use social media to sell your stuff.
4. Use scale at home to weigh your luggage before going to the airport to avoid some boxes being rejected due to overload.
5. Utilize all the free websites available in UK and ebay used sections when you arrive. You will be amazed the good deals on offer if you are patient and know just where to look.

These are all i can quickly remember for now. I am fully settled now, done inspection for schools for my barely 6 year old(in 2 weeks) who will join Year1 in April for their third term, and my 3 year old who will be in nursery. We are trying to get a healthcare job for my wife while I try to round up my Msc program and and simultaneously look for a sponsored job ( I am construction project management in case anyone can refer...Lol), so I am just looking forward to the next chapter in my family's life.

Thank you all so much, sorry for the long long post, I am just so grateful to God and all of you...especially those that constantly responded to all my constant questions and inquiries here even when searching for accommodation etc. Lol. Long live this thread.

Hi , I would like to track my application as well but when i log into the .gov.uk can't see anything like that. Or is it via TLS?

Theacefarm:
Been unable to track it like this,,,,, have you been able to track again,,,,

Mamatukwas:
Two our side families I’ve met now on that class came with visiting Visa. One full family. Father, Mother and 2 kids. The other one mother and 2 kids. They visited a couple of times prior Sef.

Apparently there’s a group of people who guide you properly on how to go about it but the info is scarce. I hear that if you’re not guided well OYO.

giselle237:
many oo. not hearsay. this is how most come in. Visit visa. Once they enter, at the border story changes…

Theacefarm:
How do you do this tracking tho?

giselle237:
they come with visit visa

Viruses:
By the way, when people come here and apply for asylums, how do they get in in the first place. Is there an asylum category when applying via UKVI's website?

To the people who have constantly made my post a credit issue when I clearly stated multiple times that it wasn’t the case. I’ve ordered the same laptop from Curry’s (without opening an account with them) using the PayPal pay in 3 option and the order was approved, I’ve been debited and the order has been dispatched. Please let the credit talk rest, that was not my issue with JL. And I did not "apply for credit" with PayPal, it’s a service open to everyone without any application on select stores.

dupyshoo:
What is wrong with checking LinkedIn profile if I may ask? Canada Immigration do it all the time to verify job experiences.
It is publicly held information, so anyone can access it.
Regarding cancelling debit card order, once a transaction is flagged as likely fraudulent, subsequent transactions will be denied. There will likely be a red flag that made them cancel the transaction.

I am sure JL don't care whether you are red or white, their first aim is to sell their goods. The more the better. However, they have lost a lot of money to fraudulent transactions, hence why they are very careful with transactions that involve large amount.
