I've made my online application for My Tier 2 visa, I used IELTS for my English proficiency, used my IELTS reference number in filling my application. I intend going for my biometrics tomorrow using the walk in option, my question is; do I need to go with my IELTS certificate to the VAC? My IELTS results was released on Friday April 20, and I'm not sure if the certificate will be ready for collection by tomorrow Monday April 23. cc: justwise |

Urgent advice needed please. Is there any difference between these sites https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/apply-uk-visa & https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/home/welcome. I understand the latter is the old site which is gradually being phased out. I started my Tier 2 application on the new site but someone told me the new site is for visiting visas for now and he wasn't sure if the new site can be used for Tier 2 applications yet. To be on the safe side I opened an account on the old site and restarted my application, however, the old site has been giving me this error message since yesterday and I can't continue my application but my account on the new site isn't having such issues. My question is; can I continue my application using the new site? Is it accepted for Tier 2 visas yet? I intend using Ikeja. Please response needed urgently, I wish to sort this out today. Thanks. |

Good day all. I'm having some issues with my Tecno L8 plus and I need your help. I can't access most of my apps it keeps asking me to check my internet settings, I can still access opera mini and WhatsApp but I can't use my banking apps, Facebook , Yahoo etc, I've tried updating the apps but I can't even access play store. I'm thinking of a factory reset but I don't know if this will work or even necessary. Please I need suggestions, no money for another phone now. Thanks. |

Please what's the difference between TLS ikeja and Vi in terms of cost, processing time, etc. I'm currently processing my Tier 2 application and I intend using priority. A friend advised me to use VI although Ikeja is closer to me, his reasons were issues of touts at ikeja but i think i've come across some comments about extra costs at VI either in this thread or related threads. So I'd like to know the cost of biometrics at VI and Ikeja and anything else I need to know about both centres. Thanks. |

buddiemm:Okay now I understand you. The gurus in the house need to step in then. But I advice you act fast if she'll be needing UKNARIC to avoid the delays associated with postage especially when the mail gets to Nigeria. I'm yet to receive mine as at today even though the online tracking revealed it left UK March 16 despite the fact that I used the international signed for postage option, that's about a month now waiting for my mail. |

buddiemm:Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the UKNARIC certificates are issued once and are valid for life unlike IELTS that has a 2 year life span. In my opinion, if she already has UKNARIC issued once, she should just include that same certificate to her fresh application, no need reapplying to UKNARIC to assess qualifications they have previously assessed. This is the opinion of a small learner like me, but I think I'm correct with the little I know. Gurus in the house over to you. |

mumynoella:Hmm, hope you don't need this urgently. I'm in the same boat but my saving grace is that I did IELTS and expecting my result 20/04/18 Mine was completed 14/03/18, arrived Heathrow 15/03/18, on its way to Lagos 16/03/18 and I'm yet to receive it as at 12/04/18 despite the fact that I used international signed for and used my office address, where you can meet someone to receive it 24/7. I guess the delay can be attributed to the Nigerian postal services and I have no idea how to track it within Nigeria. Me I've given up on them, I'm just waiting for my IELTS results so I can begin my visa application, a colleague of mine also told me hers arrived after she had gotten her visa and left the country. Maybe a lesson for those who intend to use UKNARIC is that they should apply early, let's say 6 months before planned take off considering what our postal services can do. But if anyone knows how to track posts within Nigeria I'm also interested, so I can console myself that I didn't waste my money on UKNARIC. |

Good day house. I'm trying to put things in place ahead of my resumption in June. My biggest challenge now is accommodation. My employer won't be providing accommodation. They do have staff accommodation that is managed by another related company which is cheaper and within walking distance of my place of work. However, I cannot apply for the staff accommodation until I get some papers from my employer which can only be issued after my resumption. I have been advised to seek temporary accommodation for about a week or two till I sort my preemployment/induction issues. I'm quite familiar with Rightmove and Zopla but they are giving conditions that I cannot meet for now from Nigeria, like 3 months statement, deposits etc. please what are the other options I have in getting a temporary accommodation of 2weeks Max a month aside hotels, something like budget hostels. I don't have any friends or relatives in the area (I'm talking of Cambridge, Cambridgeshire) Thanks. |

fatima04:Thanks. Its £184 on the TLS site, what confused me was the settlement/non settlement visa. I thought Tier 2 was a settlement visa. |

fatima04:Thanks. I'm planning to go for TB test this week. My challenge now is English language proficiency. I had some challenges with UKNARIC application, I had to quickly book for IELTS which was done yesterday, result expected April 20. I don't know if the interval between April 20 and my resumption date of June 4 is enough to get my Tier 2 visa. Someone advised I use priority but I can't get the cost of processing Tier 2 on priority from Nigeria, I'm getting different information from different sites. please does anyone know the cost of Tier 2 on priority? Thanks |

Good day elders in the house, your boy needs some guidance. Got my certificate of sponsorship for my Tier 2 visa 2 days ago. I'm scheduled to resume June 4. I was originally scheduled to resume May 14 but someone in recruitment forgot to issue m the COS after it had long been assigned so resumption date was changed from may 14 to June 4. I wouldn't want this date to be moved forward again although the COS expires July 6. My challenge now is my English language proficiency requirement. I had issues with UKNARIC so I had to quickly put in for IELTS which I sat for yesterday and I'm very confident of the outcome. Results expected April 20. My question is, if I commence my Tier 2 visa applications after April 20, let's say April 23/25 will my visa be out well before the June 4 resumption date? Someone said its a gamble and advised I use priority but I'm a bit confused about the cost of priority for Tier 2, I'm getting different figures from different sites. https://uk.tlscontact.com/ng/lgv/page.php?pid=added_value_services#Priority-Visa £184 for non settlement visa within 5 working days. And £551 for settlement visa within 30 working days ( which sounds strange to me, I thought it's usually within 15 working days without priority) https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-priority-applications says £941(I'm on the shortage occupation list, but I suspect this doesn't apply to me cos the site says you can only use this service in the UK. In summary, what's the cost of priority for Tier 2, applying from Nigeria. And what are my chances of getting a reply well before June 4 if I apply after April 20 without priority. Thanks |

Finally got my COS yesterday. Expected to resume June 4. Funny thing is COS had been issued to my employer since February and I was initially scheduled to resume May 14 but one oyibo woman forgot to issue it to me until I called to ask if I should start looking for another job (didn't use those same words sha) Good thing is now I can start work on my visa. Abeg I will be counting on the experienced guys in the house, I've not done this before. So expect some very dumb questions from me in the coming days, when you see them don't vex for me just know say I be JJC. You can yab me small I don't mind as long as you show me road, but only small yab oh. On a serious note I will be counting on your guidance through this, don't want to make any errors. The General UK thread is full of visitors, if u ask any JJC question somebody will tell you to go and read the thread from page 1 like say I de prepare for jamb. Let me go and prepare for "dumb question one" Thanks in advance. 10 Likes |

Hello everyone. I'm expecting my COS for a Tier 2 visa soon so I'm trying to make sure everything is in place before I commence my application. My question is regarding visa payments and all such payments I will need to make in the course of my application. What's the best method of payment from Nigeria? Do I need a domiciliary account? I have Access and diamond bank visa cards and a first bank verve card. I've seen many referrals to GTB naira Master card, I also have a dormant GTB current account. Do I need to reactivate my GTB account or will I be okay with the active accounts I mentioned? I paid for my UKNARIC application with my access bank visa card without any issues, is the ukvi payment platform in anyway similar to UKNARIC? I know this issue has been treated somewhere on this thread but can't locate it. Will also appreciate any other counsel regarding making payments to ukvi. Thanks. |
