Olaniiks:
Hi everyone,I just received a passport request email for my visitors visa application.Can I walk in and submit at Lagos Vfs myself?if yes what are the requirements and how long does it takes to get passport back? Thanks

Congratulations!….while we wait for the gurus in the house to respond, please when did you submit and do biometrics? And what type of visa?

Hello,

Hello House, @emmafe please i intend to apply for for both visit visa and permanent residence. is this safe? can i apply for VV first then later apply PR? or vice versa?. will be application be visible to VO?
i ask because, for VV i will claim my sole purpose is to visit and return but with PR application, it means i desire to relocate to Canada hence a contradiction. And is tourism purpose alone enough reason for visit visa application?

Hello House, @edafe please i intend to apply for for both visit visa and permanent residence. is this safe? can i apply for VV first then later apply PR? or vice versa?.

is tourism purpose alone enough reason for visit visa application?

@edafe, i have looked up previous pages and comments, i see you usually post to 2 links for fresh applications.
1: to generate invitation code and the 2: to create a profile.... is this the sequence? i will appreciate if you can clarify please.

I used the 6months visa once.

VISA ALERT!

This might help someone!

my first 6months visa expired in April after only 1 trip to the UK.
I applied for 5years renewal and did Biometrics on 26th May with KMP.
i got submit passport request on 14th June and submitted passport on 15th June.
Picked up passport on 19th June with 5years visa.

Truth106:


Biometrics: 17th May
Call from UKVI to submit passport: 5th June
Picked up passport today: 6th June

Thank you.

Truth106:
Please how long does it take for TLS to send a mail to pick up passport. I choose the Keep my passport option and was asked to submit my passport today. Also asked at their office but they said they can’t give me a definite time. Any information would be appreciated.

Please what is the update on this please?

When did you do biometrics and how long before you got mail to submit your passport?

I can’t but agree with Keyamo here! Very valid points and logic on point.

Please i prefer to use my dollar card to book the british airways online or is that not possible ? the black market rate is too expensive for me

leef2022:


Visit their ticketing desk at the airport or any outlet nearest to you, you should be able to pay in Naira but at a black market rate!!!

Scandinavian:
Hello Everyone, I've been trying to book flight on British Airways now and cannot make the payment with my dollar MasterCard. How do one pay for flights on British Airways site, or is there a trick to it?

please who did you resolve this? i am having same issue with my zenith dollar card please.

Please I have been struggling to pay for flight ticket on British airways with my dollar card but it keeps failing and my bank confirms my card is fine. Any suggestions on what could be the problem? Please

You have a bright chance to get the visa, if you reapply immediately. Yes state you savings as additional income and tick savings. If the source of fund in your dorm account comes from your salary, you will have to itemize these transactions by highlighting it in your salary bank statement and dorm account. I can assist you to write a cover letter if you want.

Turned out you were right.

VISA ALERT

First refusal in July 2022, major issue was that VO wasnt satisfied that my economic circumstance could accommodate my vacation.
Re-applied in August and stated clearly that VO did not consider my dorm account in arriving at a decision.
Bio-metrics: August 18th
Travel document dispatch mail: October 25th
Passport received: October 26th
6 moths visit visa granted.....first timer and no travel history.

The gov invited the provost of civil defense to train vigilantes on the use & handling of pump action? And you say they don’t have licenses to carry pump action? Why train them on the use of what they are not licensed to use?

First ... Your budget was too high... (U must have used black market rate for ur calculations). Ur budget should be between £1300-1500 for a 9days trip even if ur a billionaire. Did you explain how you were able to save $5k? Do u get paid in dollars or are you into forex trade ? Since when have you had the £.5k in ur savings? Moreso ur naira account balance must have been so low in the past months so they realized you couldnt afford to finance the proposed trip. Let me ask you this, Have you ever had more than 1.5m or atleast 1milla in ur account in the past 6 months?... Cos the ECO is more concerned with your naira account

Yes, i have had such amount in my account in the last 6months, i dont do forex trade but i do my savings in fx. my total budget was less than 1mio naira, is that budget too high?

Yes, i explained that i do my savings in dollars and that the dorm account was my savings.
someone suggested i should have ticked additional income but the savings is also from my salary.

dirolad:


How were you able to save it overtime? Did you explain it?

Did you State you are also Self-employed or receive additional income from anything or why did you feel that dorm statement was wrongly Ommitted or why should they take it into consideration with your paid employment? Company Customer money? Because there's a hint of no believe. You only said you are employed and that's why only your salary was traced and only your salary account was being considered. You probably Ommitted something on your application that requires them reviewing the dorm account. If it's truely your personal account and you got it rightly, you can do better.


God bless you Giselle237 for your inputs.

ekpotek:


Sorry for the refusal. The ECO is justified as you did not enough disposal income for the trip. If you did not tick additional income options in the application form, the ECO is right not to consider the $5K in your dorm account. However, this can be rectified if you reapply and provide documents to back up funds in your dorm account as legitimate. Most importantly let the ECO knows you have additional income sources in a cover letter. Itemise each $ deposit and explain the sources. In my last application I also submitted my dorm account statement and back it up with documents on how the funds were earn.

Alright, thanks.

But the dorm account balance is savings from my salary, should i have declared it as additional income?

giselle237:

I am not a professional.. simply my opinion
did you provide proof of how the money in the dorm account came about and how the funds are accessible to you?
Eco quoted a savings / ?account with 6k pounds… is this same account been referred to?

Yes, the bank statement was in my name and clearly accessible to me

Did biometric on 18th May in Ikeja, Got refusal on 7th July, so confirming that post on if you did biometric earlier with no response yet then most likely you have good news coming.

Professionals please what is your counsel on this refusal, provided dorm account statement with about $5k and stated in cover letter that the dorm account is my savings. Access statement & payslips showed other allowance i get aside salary but it appears the ECO didnt take time to assess application

Thegamingorca:

You can't opt for assisted service when all along you chose, self service.

You can upgrade to assisted service on the day of your biometrics if you have additional documents to upload after submitting self service earlier.
You will have to pay the 11.6k.

How does Gov Ayade accompany asiwaju to his own state? last i checked Ayade is gov of cross river.

How you connect different meetings to suggest its gona be BAT is interesting.
anyways it could be BAT,still a possibility.

Gov Ayade receives Tinubu & Ganduje to cross river would be better.

Realist12:
This should answer a lot of questions, I think its right for all southern politicians to ask for zoning to the south. It's the duty of the south east to ask PDP to zone the ticket to the south and they'd clinch it easily.
If they can't have PDP zone the ticket to the south why are they asking APC to zone it to the south east?

Yeah….the south east should demand this from the PDP. No other region as been more PDP than the south east.

South East Stats: 2015 Election.

PVC Ratio: 86.3%
Voters turnout: 42%
National Assembly: 87.7% PDP.
Total Pres.Votes: 89% PDP & 7% APC.
The South east were very intentional with its support for PDP so much that without it’s 198k votes APC’s buhari would still have won regardless. Political suicide you might call it.
But in 2019, even with a lesser voters turnout they took their chances and made same bold statement for PDP only that Imo state gave APC the 25% constitutional requirement.
This region have sacrificed for the party…it’s only fair for the party to in turn support the region in its quest for the presidential ticket. The south east have earned it.

Hello house,
Please I have uploaded & submitted documents(self service) on tls but I now need to add additional document plus my appointment is for tomorrow. Is there any way to can go about this please?

Hello gurus in the house please, for the "where do you plan to stay" question : can i put details of an airbnb apartment or it has to be an hotel?
