If it helps anyone . I have breakdown of the docs I sent to Sheffield in support of our application. Please note that everyone's case is different and these things should act as guidance. Each section has its own transparent presentation folder with the documents list for that section pasted on the cover page, and then all included in a large transparent envelope folder with the complete table on content stapled on the cover page. I added 1 year payslip and bank statements cos there was a period I was on maternity leave even though my maternity pay still exceeds the threshold . I just thought I give it all then they choose what they want

KemBee86:
Thanks a lot, I got it today! I was so scared that I hid the package in my car booth and I didn't open it until 10 hours after...lol

blza:
God has done it for us!! I can not Paris HIM enough.

My husband got his visa this morning . I really want to thank everyone on this forum. Especially portsmouth86 (she is a special lady) , justwise who put this useful forum up and many more.

We used priority , we both not patient enough for the 12 week wait

Can always provide docs if requested.

All the best to anyone still waiting . I'm off to search for airline tickets

KemBee86:
Hi everyone, I have a funny question to ask...lol. Is it possible to know if your visa was granted base on the package? I heard if the spousal visa is given, the package won't be flat because some books welcoming you to Uk and showing destination places will be added, so it won't just be ur passport and TB cert. How true is this?

KemBee86:
Hi dear, which of the test results did you submit? I submitted the General ielts for ukvi and I have been scared. I heard the recommended test is the life skills A1.

blza:
All the best. Crossing everything for u

blza:
Lol. u never know. Your Passport should be there by today I believe. Even if it's walking back to lagos

blza:
If I were u, I am there tomorrow morning . Will tell them I got an email to pick up Passport. Just go with your collection slip

makB:
Best of luck to you guys @thatula @kembee86 @blza

KemBee86:
All the best sis....fingers crossed

blza:
Same here tracked my app last week, got decision already made email. No formal email confirming this. Hoping to hear something this week. Please let's keep ourselves informed as per any email, supporting documents return etc. All the best. no interviews as well

KemBee86:
Hello everyone,
I hope you are all having a splendid weekend, I need help!
I applied first week in December and last week Monday I contacted ukvi via email with regards to the status of my application and I was replied that decision has been made.
Till now I haven't gotten a decision mail from Sheffield and Teleperfprmance hasn't even ticked the decision made button
So Wat do I do next?? It's already 12 weeks

KemBee86:
Hi everyone,
Please I need direction, I sent a mail on Monday regarding the status of my spousal visa application to ukvi and I had an automated reply that decision has already been made. Until now I haven't gotten a mail from Sheffield that decision has been made. Do u think something is wrong? What can I do next?
Thanks

Portsmouth86:
I know right even the priority applications are taking longer than usual

"Use of this Priority Visa service guarantees that your application will be placed at the front of the queue for processing ahead of others" is the statement for priority for Nigeria so does not specify a timescale, just that the applications are put ahead of standard applications

"The Settlement Priority Visa Service ensures that your application will be processed at the front of the queue. We aim to process Settlement Priority Visas within 15 working days from the date of your appointment at the UK Visa Application Centre" this is the statement from the priority service for Tunisian priority applications.

So the UKVI have covered themselves with this wording, as someone pointed out to me the other day

justwise:
The one in bold

justwise:
That one

Portsmouth86:
I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, and a prosperous New Year 2016.

May we see many more successful visa applications.

God bless us all in our journey of life

They don't care about your financial situation. As long as you have solid proof of your relationship and also your partner meets the financial requirement you are good to go!

jangolo:
There is no need to explain much tbh, they already have in their records the reason why you got rejected. But include a copy of the rejection letter when applying.
