You did not submit enough document to support your application at all, the refusal letter pretty much explained all you need to include in your next application.

Proof of relationship is very important, call history, chat log, emails(not just 1 or 2 days, months-years of them) Pictures, both current and old. evidence of gift sent..money or material gift etc

@ justwise, I will like to ask, does the amount he sends monthly matters or they just need the evidence . For example if he sends 10k monthly just to support will the ECO think that money is too small ?

What are you talking about though huh What has tier 2 got to do with the person's situation? The applicant says he is to be married to a British citizen after which he would like to relocate to join her. Settlement visa is for those who are outside UK and have the rights to join their spouses (legally resident in the UK).

Dear great people on this forum,
I want to apply for tier 2 visa shortage occupation with my wife as my dependent. We have a 2 year old son, but we do not want to take him along for now. We made the decision because we want to be well settled before we take him there. He will stay with my mum here in Nigeria for now.
My questions are:
1. Won't it be a problem that we decided we don't want to take our child with us for now? Won't it raise any eyebrows?
2. Do I need to fill a separate form for my wife, or I'll just mention her in my own form?
I'll await your clarifications on these questions. I'm grateful
. He is not applying for settlement visa, so that's the wrong place to post I made the same mistake and I was refused because I applied under wrong type of visa. He should look for details in regards to TIER 2 visa and Tier 2 dependant visa . You can't apply for a settlement visa cos you are not settled in the uk. Settled pple are those that have British passport, refugees and have indefinite leave to remain. Don't make the same mistake I made

Hello guys,

Applied for Tier 2 General on the 16 of August, 2017. Also applied for Tier 2 General visa up yo 3 years for Wifey same time but we had different appointment times on the same day.

TLScontact assessed us as a group and sent off on the 18 of August.

From the timing of the emails received regarding the status of our application. It appears our applications are treated separately which worries me.

I have received an email on the 8 of September that a decision has been made regarding my application and another email to come pick my passport at TLScontact VI lagos. Nothing yet about my wife.

Why were the applications separated?
Aren't they supposed treat the application together? The strength of our application is in my own application package I think.
I worried.

Any ideas?
. Pls I will like to ask some questions even tho It's not relating to your qs asked. Pls I am about to apply for TIER 2 dependant and I don't know if all supporting documents will be sent to Sheffield or collected in nigeria.

Hello all,
Update. Finally got m
Timeline;
Biometrics: July 24 ( Priority Tier 2)
Not straightforward email; August 15
Told my agent of this and i was told it was escalated though i didnt get an email to that effect.
A week after i sent an enquiry to Ukvi and i was sent a mail to fill out the reason for escalation. This i did and sent back but i did not get any response.
My agent sent me a mail on Friday 25th August that d application has been sent to the 'express escalation team' whatever that means.
Got a mail from TLS on Monday 28th that decision has been made and another one later in the day for passport pick up.
Passport picked up today. Visa granted grin from 26th of August(which is a saturday).
Hope this encourages someone. Thanks to all who supported me.
pls I will like to ask, did you submit all your documents in Sheffield or it was collected in Nigeria . I am about to apply as. Spouse dependant for a tier 2 emigrant .
