Foreveryours201:


With regards to renting Private accommodation I am not entirely sure of the additional supporting documents you can provide, however, you can, in the first instance, provide:

-Tenancy agreement
-Letter from Landlady confirming your tenancy and that it is OK for your spouse to live there and that all bills/rent will remain unchanged.
-Utility Bills (Gas, Electricity, Phone etc)
-Council Tax Statement/Bill

Council rented accommodation:
-Tenancy agreement
-Letter from tenancy manager confirming your tenancy (they might not write that it is OK for your spouse to live there, not that it is not OK, it's just something I have found a lot of them do not do- there is no law stating your spouse cannot come and live with you in your rented council property, this only has an impact if you're in receipt of any housing/council related benefits).
-Rent account statement (if you don't receive this automatically, you can request this from them)
-Council Tax Statement/Bill
-Utility Bills (Gas, Electricity, Phone etc)

There maybe more that I have left off the list, especially regarding the private accommodation but hopefully others here maybe able to assist with that!

thanks foureveryours i appreciate

thanks good people foreveryours abakilikiboy wallg123 please want to add to my qestion is the housing inspection needed for all accomodation types or is just for shared accomdation or only for council houses.is it optional if i have other requirement like tenancy agreement,letter from landlord or landlady,stating my wife and i can liive there together,and my utility bills

will appreciate

abakilikiboy:

There is a room size requirement. She need the borough council of her area to come and check the size of the room and they will give her certificate or letter to confirm the room meet the standard required.

thanks abakilikiboy i appreciate knowledge is power

Foreveryours201:


As long as all the paperwork for the shared accommodation is in order and the Landlord agrees to the applicant being there. If you can prove/provide all this it shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you foureveryours i appreciate

Foreveryours201:


you're right, his employment in Nigeria has nothing to do with the application. A majority of the requirements are from his wife.

Thank you so much foreveryours and wallg123 i appreciate your kind response.

Foreveryours201:

thanks all just want to ask which accomodation will be suitable .will a one bedroom apartment be just fine for me and my wife no children yet or should we go for two bedroom .she is going back first week of december.putting all neccesary things in place before we apply.
she was there from July before coming back again in october but she is going again in first week of december
your response will be appreciated

Lexusgs430:


Let's assume you want to file in your application in December, let's count six months back.
November, October, September, August, July & June. Considering the listed months, does she earn half of the required amount? Would she have wage slips to back up? Would she have reflecting bank statements?

i thank you lexusgs for taking time out to answer me i appreciate .yes she would have earn haf of the required amount . yes she does have payslip to back it up and she have bank statement reflecting this. with this answered have we met the six month requirment? or its going to be 12 month. that is what i want to clarify 6month or 12month. considering that her income is from two sources

Lexusgs430:

Going by provisions of the legislation, a laminated document would not be acceptable.
Going forward, what should you do? Seek alternative ways to collect copies or take a gamble........

thanks lexusgs i very much appreciate your sincere answer will seek alternative ways to collect copies thank again

Lexusgs430:

Laminated documents

This policy confirms that Laminated Documents should not be accepted in
support of a passport application (see two exceptions below).
IPS regional offices have a very small percentage of applications supported
by laminated documents. Documents that are laminated are usually birth
certificates, marriage certificates and naturalisation/registration certificates.
IPS examiners cannot be sure that the laminated documents submitted with
an application are genuine
Major concerns regarding laminated documents are that watermarks cannot
be easily distinguished, nor can the quality of the paper be felt, and with
naturalisation/registration certificate the security features such as the heat
reactive number cannot be utilised.
Laminated documents must not be accepted in support of passport
applications, unless in cases covered by the exceptions shown below.
Examiners must request unlaminated versions of the documents submitted.
If a laminated change of name deed or a laminated marriage certificate has
been produced in support of a passport application for change of name
evidence only, then examiners can accept the laminated document.


I think English test is approximately £50.00

thanks lexusgs i really appreciate so what will you advice that i do
1.present the laminated marriage certificate or get a certify true copy from registry made enquiry at ikeja registry was told that it is 20,000
2. for my other certificate B.sc how do i go about it knowing that getting another certificate in nigeria instuition can be very difficult if not imposible

please your urgent advice is needed but any knowlegde of anyone one in my shoes now

thanks in anticipation of your response

Lexusgs430:


Question 1 - $925
Question 2 - Get a letter from your university, stating your course was conducted in English language, submit certificates and transcripts
Question 2(1) - NARIC - £55
Question 3 - Not best she applies after only 3 months of active employment(you need six months pay slips + bank statements, or else financial requirements would not be meet) . How much would both jobs collectively earn her in a 12 calendar month?
Question 4 - She should have a contract of employment from the agencies
NB : Do you have any kids?

thanks lexusgs430 i appreciate you kind response.
from your reply to question 3.if she met up with the financial requirement monthly with salary of 1580 pounds every month(alhough it is contract)does she have to wait for 12 month to apply or she can apply as long as she can present a 6 month financial bank statement to show financial requirement

Thanks lovely people in this forum been reading some of this post for almost 2 days now and i think i have some information now that will benefit me when i start.i see this as a full time project that requires a lot of details
please have some few questions
1. how much is the NHS surcharge for 33 month i.e 2 year 9 month
2. do i need to do the English language test or just get a letter and transcript from my university and attach my degree cert
if am to do NARIC how much is the actual cost now
3.my wife move the the uk 3 month ago and started work as a care support with an agency(not a permanent staff) but she works in 2 places and earn a combine sum of 1590 i.e with one she earns 1100 pound and with the second she earn like 400 pound. will this be good ground for her to apply.
4. can she approach the agency she work for for a letter of employment

Thank you VO i appreciate your earlier response to my question i also posted a second question which you did not answer i beleive it an ovversight. my questions
1 since my wife can apply for ESTA which is easier faster being a british citizen, how then do i apply since we plan on going on tour together.will i apply and appear alone at the embassy or we still have to appear together at the embassy.
2.If given the ESTA online that is my wife, will she appear at the embassy with me.if yes will i be paying for both of us or i will be paying for my own visa fee only

Thank you

Thank visa officer you are doing a nice job here, read through the thread so that i will not be asking the same question. My question is this
1. My wife and I our planning to go on vacation to the US by October we have been married for 6 years now(no children yet we are still trying) we both live and work in Nigeria.she has a dual citizenship she British by (birth) and Nigerian by(ancenstory),so she has both British and Nigerian passport, both passport carries her maiden. The British passport was issued last 2 years in her maiden name because it was stolen before we got married and the lawyer advice her to use her maiden name to get a new one which she did and she has since travel with it and back to Nigeria since then. Now that we plan on going together on vacation to the US on a tourist visa won't there a problem with the name since the name on her passport both Nigeria and British carries her maiden name and not her marital name i.e. my family name

2. I know as a British citizen she can apply for ESTA online. So what do you advice that she apply for ESTA online or we both apply for a tourist visa together at the embassy since we are going together

Your response will be highly appreciated

Hello Happy new year to every one here and my special greetings to zandora,Jesusway,and lovely people out here 2016 is your year in Jesus name.ok now to my question.I have been trying to evaluate my wife credentails i have made payment to wes and i have filled the institution she attended Bsc Ogun state university (B A English), Msc: Unilag ( English &English literature).the transcript from unilag is been processed and should get there this january but the transcript for her B.sc at ogun state university has not been proccess this is now 2month and i dont know the reason. now my question is it possibly for WEE to process the M.sc transcript and leave the B.sc since it is taking eternity for ogun state university ie Olabisi onabanjo universty to send transcript ? . your kind contribution will be appreciated

i have been trying to send my wife transcript from Olabisi Onabanjo University formerly Ogun state University its been tedious after paying 6,000 they said i will still pay for DHL.dont know the procedure in that school but can any one with the same experience enlighten me please




toksys

DanIndia:
It would be safer and better to put the Ogun State since that's what's written on her cert. That is not a problem at all.

thanks appreciate

hello good people have a question please want to do wes for my wife since it is needful but she finished from Ogun State University now Olabisi Onabanjo University.my question is for wes should i put Ogun state university or olabisi onabanjo universty she got her certificate when it was ogun state unniversity.your prompt response will be kindly appreciated

SlowlybtSurely:
For those who want to cut cost by sending their documents to WES through NIPOST, I will say; go ahead.

Hubby and I sent our certificates through NIPOST and it got there in less than 2 weeks, from Lagos. I was pleasantly surprised.

yes i did sent my certificate also through nipost and it got there like 2weeks but i think it is not advisable to to use regular mail for delivery from wes,because the guys at nipost do take extra time to check parcel coming to nigeria dont know why but you cannot rule out the nigerian factor,thinking that somone most have hidden dollars inside the parcel so they dont want to miss out on any thing befoe delivery if not why the delay.nigerian things

walexlo78:
Hello Friends in the house, quick clarification please. I have an original copy of my transcript, can i send it to WES for evaluation? Will they accept it since its not coming directly from the school? Has anyone done this before? Thanks

Secondly, I did an evaluation with WES and online check show that the dispatched the ECA since Sept 9th via regular mail but i have not received till now. Should it take this long even if sent to Africa through Canada post?

you have to be patient since it his regular mail and you know how it is with nigeria postal system although, its better now thats why it is advisable to do courier.
