Bourne007:
1. No you don't need to take photocopies.

2. I don't think you will get an acknowledgement letter cos you using the 24 hours priority service. You will get approval email / letter within 2 days.

Your company no get chills ni? If not, proof of appointment and/or payment ideally should be fine.

Why you dey waste kishi on solicitor na?

Anyways, all the best

2. How long does it take to get an acknowledgment letter since we submitting the application online through a solicitor? As i need to send the acnnowlegdment letter to my employers ASAP......


Thanks

You can request for your contracts now...but the letter from your employer stating your salary in the past 12 months etc should be dated within 28 days from your date of application. That was the time limit when I did mine, dunno if it has changed. All the best
thank you carphy...x

Thank you very much...

It takes about 3 to 5 working days to get the letters.. I think i'll just request it now and file it.

Bourne007:
If I request for a letter from my HR, it will usually take a day or 2 sent via email. Guess you will have to check with your HR how long it will take and proceed from there.

Contract is optional. Payslips and letter from employer is def required.

Please I have a quick question.

I'm about to request a copy of my contract from my employer as well as a reference letter stating my income and to support my application for FLR (M). Just trying to put my house in order ( Avoiding last minute preparations)

Can I apply for these supporting documents from my employer now or should I wait few weeks to when i'm to submit my application?

Bourne007:
You need to run from a solicitor who isn't aware that a degree in UK already meets your English requirements.

You have initially made a spouse visa and nothing has changed requirement wise (unless you've not done your research. UKVI guidelines scatter all over google) so not sure why u doubting.
Thank you my friend.
These solicitors just dey find how person go dey spend scarce resource....

Good Evening everyone.....Hope we are all preparing for the few weeks of heatwave (summer) coming up soon? wink...
Please i need some advice!
I will be making my application for FLR(M) some time in June this year. I was told by my solicitor to take some English test (B2) which got me confused...

I got my Engineering degree and Masters in the UK and did not do any other English test when I made my initial 2.5yrs spouse visa application....
why do I now have to do an English test just to renew my spouse Visa?

I just need a second opinion as I believe the solicitor is wrong about this, but am not sure...
Please make una advice me (Biko)

letter from your employer stating your annual pay would also be an advantage...

Happy NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL......
I believe when you did your 1st application in Nigeria, you sent the home office some sort of proof that you meet the English and Maths requirements. Hence they issued you your resident permit. I believe that same document is sufficient enough as proof. No need for another (IELTS). This is my understanding, Others would give their advice as well...... Goodluck

Not sure why you will need maths.

MANY THANKS ARE DUE TO ALMIGHTY GOD. Today is one of the happiest days in my family. My 2nd application was successful today, after many years of separation with my family. I want to sincerely thank the following people for their encouragement for me to submit a fresh application without waiting for the hydra-headed appeal;@justwise, @Abbylove,@Lexusgs430 @ @portsmouth86, @newbie715, @light me @Uchman365, @dday101: I want to sincerely thank justwise for encouraging me to scan the refusal letter so that other people on this forum will advise me which I found very invaluable in preparing documents for this my successful 2nd application. I quoted the definition of subsisting marriage as suggested by @light me. In fact, people in this forum are very helpful it is far better than paying a huge amount of money for ignoramus lawyers. Almighty God will bless you all for your selfless service. Those of us that got help here, we should not abandon this forum because we have been relieved. We should recommend it to others. I was not aware of this forum when my lawyer prepared my first application that was refused and even when the appeals was prepaRED and they refused to overturn it. Thanks, thanks.I pray for those that are waiting that God will put smiles on their faces.

Hello everyone. I'm new here and I need some advice please. My son age 8 applied for an eea family members visa recently,And he was refused. He went to Ikeja to submit ,and I sent all original documents (pay slips,DNA test,employment letter, tenancy agreement, letter from landlord etc) to Sheffield the same day. To my surprise, I received an email exactly a week, that a decision has been made.
The refusal letter states the reason he was refused is because we didn't include evidence of employment in the UK. So they are not sure if I am exercising treaty rights in the uk. But everything is with them in Sheffield. They didn't even bother to check because the decision was made just 5 day after. He was given a right to appeal. Please does anyone know how long it takes to appeal or should I put in a fresh application?
Appeal these days takes a lot of time and patience. Waiting time can range from within 6 months to over 1 year. From what you said, It appears you have a strong case and it would be overturned in your favor before or during the appeal period. While appealing address the ERROR made by the ECO and any other areas you fill was'nt considered. If possible supply more evidence. On the other hand if you have the finance you can put in another application as it would save you time. I also recommend you read back through this trend and you'll be more enlightened as to how to go about appealing.......

Just an update if anyone cares. Reached 60 days today. Contacted Sheffield because two weeks ago in inquired and they said decision was made but I still don't have my passport. They responded and asked for more information so as to escalate the issue ( not even sure what said issue is). Now I am supposed to wait anoth 3-5 business days to head back. undecided
Sorry to hear about the delay in you getting back your passport/Documents......60 days is a long time.... If you are within walking distance to Tls office... Go there and check for yourself... with my 1st application i never got a message from Tls .... I went to there office and my passport was building dust there...
