Ok

giselle237:
congratulations.
it’s not a spouse visa tho. (for learning purposes only) It is a work partner dependent visa. Spouse visa costs way over quadruple the amount (you) paid and wont get sorted out now if biometrics was May 11.

I'm happy to have learnt this. Thank you.

meccisoft:
Is it renewal or fresh. Then is it work or visit

Fresh. It's a spouse visa

babyfaiz:
congratulations are in order, based on testimonies here. Was it a visit/ tourist visa? Renewal or fresh applicant? Seems like you also applied with family or group of people?

Thank you. I'm praying for a positive outcome. I applied for Dependent Visa (Spouse). I applied alone.

meccisoft:
Congratulations. Please when did you do your biometric

Please, I got this email from TLS. What does it mean? Does it me the Visa is approved.

Dear Customer,

Your travel document (and supporting documents, if applicable) are now ready for collection at the TLScontact Visa Application Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos. Please carefully read the below instructions to retrieve your documents.

If you have made more than one application at the same time using the same email address, please wait until you have received email confirmations for each application before visiting this Visa Application Centre to collect your documents[color=#990000][/color].

Akinwalesuarez:
Please I just want to ask you what the interface looks like when uploading photos, is it allowing unlimited photos or you put all the photos in one PDF file and uploaded once. Also is there like maximum size for documents or picture upload

Thank you very much

I put all my photos on a single pdf file. I didn't notice any maximum.

*Your passport ID
*Your Police clearance result (character report)
*your Tb test results
*Your partner's Visa
*Your partner's CoS
*Cos maintenance letter from Your partner's employer
*Your partner's BRP
*Marriage certificate

Thank you

mcTrinity:
You're right...

Go with your passport,of course. Then very importantly too, the TLScontact appointment email... Then the printout Checklist. If you paid for added value service, you'll need to print out that TLScontact receipt. Then, a copy of your passport data page (I did mine coloured).

I believe you uploaded the required documents when you were applying. Otherwise, you'll need to physically go with them and have them uploaded there ...

Thanks

Thank you. Please could you list the required documents again, let me be sure that nothing is missing.

Dear Vikaosi,
Finally I see someone that speaks same "language" with me..lolz

I've read some posts and I've been confused. Attached is actually my application. Cost was just $317, as the only fee, unlike the over $3,000 I've been seeing here for Spouse Visa.
Really seem there are different versions of Spouse or Partner Visa. And I also remembered that when my wife and I were applying for it, we changed application 3 times. The first two links were strange and has so many questions and requirements, including the English results or degree and many other things someone has listed earlier here.
But she was like, it can't be those, and later got the link we finally used from a colleague.

And decision was concluded within 3weeks. (Applied on March 29th, went for biometrics on April 5 at Abuja VAC, and got mail that Visa was ready for collection on April 27)

Collected my Visa just this afternoon, and by God's grace, it's approved.

So, it actually seems there are different versions of Spouse/partner Visa, for different reasons or benefits I believe

I also pray that those still awaiting decision would receive theirs soonest...with favourable decision.
Cheers all

I thought as much. With Maintenance ticked on the COS of your spouse, some of the requirements are waived. From your papers you pasted, we applied for the same type of visa. I paid $322.

Please what documents were requested from you at the biometric centre


Congratulations.

Ray7878:
Yep that makes sense then. Good luck, your should be quick then, we have been waiting since 28th of January.

Thank you. Good luck to you. Hopefully, soon you shall update us with positive news on your application.

Ray7878:
Yes it could be different, ours is settlement/spouse visa. We ended up paying £3700 in dollars.

I paid about £260 pounds. Mine is not settlement. My wife is a healthcare worker.

Ray7878:
Not sure how that happened but my spouse was asked for it. Our first appt was turned down due to this. But she doesn’t have a university degree though. Because if you have then it would not be a requirement.

IELTS was not mentioned anywhere in my application process. And it is not in the checklist. Could it be that there are different types of spousal visas?

Ray7878:
You only need your passport, photocopy of the database side of your passport and the tick documents letter to go with to TLS. Since you have uploaded all your supporting documents they wouldn’t need that from you at TLS.

Just make sure having the English IETLS or whatever it’s called isn’t on the list of your requirements.

Thank you very much. I didn't see any test of English while applying. I guess it is not a requirement for a spouse visa.
Thank you.

Good morning. Thanks to everyone answering questions.

And hope I don't need evidence of proficiency in English because I never saw it anywhere when I was applying.

Please for my biometric capturing at TLS, do I need to come with the originals of all the documents that I uploaded? I'm applying for a spouse visa.

The photos I uploaded, do I still need to go there with them. Thank you

royalmu:
The first question is like Jamb question and besides no one is forcing you to pay it. You can choose Ikeja and still be happy. For the second question, you need marriage photos to prove the marriage actually took place.

Thank you for your response. Please which will you advise, the VI centre or Ikeja. And for the photos, can I merge all of them as a pdf file instead of uploading individually.

Thank you

Please I have two questions:

1. Which TLSContact centre should select for my UK Visa biometrics? Is there any difference between VI and Ikeja? Why will I have to pay to use VI while Ikeja is free?

2. For proof of marriage, asides marriage certificate, which other documents should I upload. Thank you

Greenm5:
1. Marriage registered with any government agent - LGA, any court etc is acceptable.

2. It is highly advisable to include any further information to proof that the relationship is genuine and subsisting. Example pictures of the couple, messages, any document that shows the couple have lived together such as bills. Note that it is not a requirement that you guys must have lived together.

3. As above, LGAs are the most popular agency that conduct marriages.

4. General - once you start the online application you find out other supporting documents for the application.

5. Good luck!

Thank you so much. Your responses were helpful.

Thank you all

Woooo this life ehnnn. Some people are not with their spec and this their non spec is not giving Dem peace of mind.

LOL. Funny but true. It's not the case that a non-spec will translate to peace of mind.

Krissy01:
Hi guys so does anyone here know how to create a CV, or rather show me how you did yours. one of the schools am applying to listed it as one of the requirements and I'm hoping someone here did the same. I'm going for a bachelors program. Pls help

You can get a format or a template, with that you adapt your CV to it. And since it's for admission to a school you should tailor it to suit that purpose.

Hedonistically:
Nigerian law enforcement agencies always rely too much on prima facie evidence and the self-indicting "explanation" or "confession" of suspects. This is laziness of the highest order, and is one of the reasons why corruption cannot be defeated at this time.

Granted, the director is clearly corrupt - as EVERY OTHER civil servant and public office holder in Nigeria is (including the so-called investigators themselves and the High Court Judge handling the case). But that is besides the point.

The investigators have not established a paper trail showing exactly how the director stole public funds and illegally acquired his assets. The charge that he could not "explain or justify" his wealth is absolute nonsense. To begin with he is not obligated by law to explain anything to you. Besides, you are not competent to arbitrarily decide whether his explanation is acceptable or not.

What you should do and must do is to investigate how he corruptly acquired the funds and how he illegally acquired his assets. Which contracts were illegally awarded or inflated? Which kickbacks were paid and how were they paid? Which documents were forged? Which government funds were unremitted? Etc. Etc. That's the hard work in criminal investigation, and you cannot shy away from such hard work! It is daft to just rush to court and say that somebody cannot explain their wealth.

Without this, I'm sorry the case before the court is watery, and the director and his brother will easily be acquitted even with an average lawyer.

READ CAREFULLY: Sec. 15 of Advance Fee Fraud and other Related Offences Act provides:
In a trial for an offense under this Act, the fact that a person -
(a) is in possession of pecuniary resources or property for which he cannot satisfactorily account and which is disproportionate to his known sources of income; or
(b) that he had at or about the time of the alleged offense obtained an accretion to his pecuniary resources or property for which he CANNOT satisfactorily account, may be proved and may be taken into consideration by the High Court as corroborating the testimony of a witness in the trial.
Similar laws have this clause.

obamd:
From verifiable evidence, exemplified by the "ritual killers" nabbed at ile zik in Ikeja, most People who kill and slaughter do so for organ harvesting. They then sell the organs to exporters.

This is not to completely say there's nothing called blood money or something fetish that vomits money. I'm just giving a very logical approach and scientific explanation.

It's no longer news that people need organ transplants daily and those who have direct contact with buyers mainly from India know that its a multimillion dollar business and Nigeria is a major contributor.

The last time,a bad containing kidneys/liver was labelled 25,000 naira. The tunnel had a refrigerator and other dissecting instruments in it. So it's clear the organ harvesting business is a thing.

Una wey get juju experience, come talk your own

You made a nice point. But I don't think these are usually for organ transplantation. Organ transplantation needs a bit of technology. Most organs begin to deteriorate immediately they are out of the human body, that's in simple terms. A transplant will usually be done, even the organ harvesting in a medical facility and not a bush.

I think Nigeria needs someone like Atiku at this point. No offense intended, but he seems to understand and appreciate Nigeria's diversity more than Buhari

heybel:
I wil b teaching chemistry in dat sec school and i study chemistry education

Go for the secondary school job. If you distinguish yourself, students will flock to you for extra lessons. Some science teachers earn much more than their salaries through extra coaching.

Secondary school is preferable, especially if you teach maths, English, chemistry, or physics. You will get the opportunity of taking some home lessons. And if you want to take a job somewhere, having taught in a secondary sounds better, esp in your CV.

I won't even advise anyone who didn't study an educational course to teach in a primary school.

This is the most intelligent comment I have seen on nl for some time now, more grey matter to your cerebrum. He that hath an ear let him hear.... Good governance transcends all

Thank you, Sir.

henryhemon:
You are very intelligent let's be friends.

Yes, Sir. It will be a huge honour to me.

My thoughts summarised:

1. This is victory for democracy, let he that is in power today know that one day he may not be there again. Nothing is permanent

2. Let those in Aso not get too excited, in 2019 they may join Mimiko and Aninih in retirement. People voted Aketi not necessarily party

3. You reading this, don't get too excited, unless you are the governor-elects's close relatives or in-laws. This is their victory. Ours come only with better roads, healthcare, education and security.

If you are not part of them, know that you are with us(the masses), just chill and pray for good governance.

Thanks
