If it is an HMO, provided you can produce tenancy agreement + Landlords authority letter......... And of course, property inspection report.........

Lexusgs430:
Ideal travel date, is only for reference. If you apply in December and apply via priority, put a travel date of mid January.

If you apply via normal application route, put a travelling date to reflect about 3/4 months afterwards .........

NB: As stated, date are simply for reference. They would never speed up application to meet your travelling date ......

Lexusgs430:
If your application has not yet been dealt with by 1st February, what do you do ?

Lexusgs430:
You submit an application in December, the aspect of satisfying the accommodation prerequisite, is of an accommodation that your sponsor is yet to reside in.......

Your application status must be live and not only on paper.......

Lexusgs430:
Don't try this at all, at all ....... Why not wait till he moves in ?

What about if the rent agreement falls through and UKBA phones landlord to confirm tenancy?

Lexusgs430:
The contract of the love next would state commencement of contract nah .....

You want to submit an application with an address, that your sponsor is not living in ? Am I right or left?

Lexusgs430:
Application is submitted on what month? Love nest contract is signed on what month?

Lexusgs430:
A perfect love nest for two .......... Carry go, Nothing do you ......

Hello all,
Pls I really need all your help. My wife and two children are all British citizens and are currently living in the UK. Pls i want to know how much should be in my account as cash saving for six months before I can apply for a spouse visa due to I'm not a salary earner

I would advice you to do a proper registry wedding at a genin registry centre and have your certificate. If possible

also have a church wedding with your certificte. I've submitted my priority spouse visa application with
an 11 months old daughter not long ago. We also included Affidavit, Punch Newspaper public announcement of
my wife's change of name Dec 2015 of name.I was a student studing nursing at the time as a British Citizen and
we had to be patient and now I am in full time employment earning close to £30k per annum.

We had spent close to £7k for the spouse visa and wedding cost excluding wife and daughter's allowance of which
the evidence was also provided. Your relationship needs to develop or have a child and provide evidence are ways to
suggest that you're in a geuine relationship. If I were you, I will ignore DSS. Moreover, wiki is not a reliable website for information to
do with your life. Simply call or email UKVI for information. I spent close to £20 on phone calls and emails. Dont assume anything.
Dont forget your English requirement, wife's UK NARIC was C1 which is above the requirement. The UK is a financial hub and want our money at all cost. I was reluctant to type these, however, I had to because others
also took their time out to type when I needed help.


Good luck to both of us !

You are to help confirm if that is the information you got from your visit to the Registry.

I just read somewhere online that the Special License Marriage is valid for Marriages that involve non-citizens no information about cost and DSS waiver though.

@lexusgs430
Lol... I get your point but like @Veacon said, some people just don't know about the DSS clause for foreign credentials and for others their partners aren't Nigerian. At the end of the day, we hope this forum would shed more light on issues like these. Thank you for always hitting the nail on the head in a funny way.

@everyone
Please note that just as we have fast-track for visa application, there is nothing wrong with fast-tracking applications in Nigeria. Just make sure it is a legit/authorized process and a genuine receipt is given for any payment made. But I still believe that for registry marriage a notice period is an imperative part of the process.

@veacon
Thanks for shedding more light on this issue, now others will know what to do when they face this challenge in the future. From your messages I can deduce the following:

1. Special License Marriage - This is valid for Marriages that involve non-citizens . Apparently obtainable within 24hrs and requires a 100k DSS waiver (integrity not guaranteed and unverifiable). Seems to be the only option for couples with foreign credentials.
2. 7-days notice period Registry Marriage - which does not require DSS waiver and can only be used if both parties have Nigerian credentials. (yet to be verified)
3. 21-days notice period Registry Marriage - which does not require DSS waiver and can only be used if both parties have Nigerian credentials.
4. Caveat - I believe this information is for Abuja Registry right, so might not be the same for Lagos.
5. @veacon - Please correct me on the information above if I am wrong, thank you.

1. Special License Marriage - which can be obtained within 24hrs costing about 62k and requires a 100k DSS waiver (not recommended)

When one of the intending couple is a foreigner or has dual citizenship & Can be obtained as soon as they want it, as long as it falls on their wedding dates (Tues, Thurs, Sat).

2. 7-days notice period Registry Marriage - [i]which does not require DSS waiver and can be used when one member of the couple has a foreign credential.

No, this is used when one if the intending couple is both a Nigerian citizen & foreigner (dual citizenship) or is a Nigerian and has a foreign address. Such person must meet the full requirements Nigerian locals meet (Local govt ID).

3. 21-days notice period Registry Marriage - which does not require DSS waiver and can only be used if both parties have Nigerian credentials.

CORRECT!

4. Caveat - I believe this information is for Abuja Registry right, so might not be the same for Lagos.

I've seen a different procedure for ikoyi registry from my findings, though haven't been there to inquire in person. Hence, I believe so too, though not 100% sure.

Please correct me on the information above if I am wrong, thank you.

derbylicious:
I’m currently searching for link to a DSS official, if the security clearance is actually done, I doubt it would cost what the registry is unrealistically asking for.

Alternatively, as @Lexusgs430 stated, a higher ranked employee in the said registry can induce a slash.


Smdh!

Lexusgs430:
If the sponsor does not have dual citizenship, he/she would have to do what it takes to jump all the necessary hurdles.....

If DSS wants 100K and its a documented payment, it would have to be paid....
