Thanks got ur Point here on d issue of d individual VO either overzealouse or just mix up things I thinking d problem is on d earnings which can be called salary . Previous application d earnings was 200k and d former Vos dis not multiply dat by 32. This is a one man bizness money Go in out out as needed and really salary is not separated from d account I can only say here it is imaginary and its not all sales even in thousands u have receipt eg people coming to pick aso ebi from d shop when u have a job of supply thousands of such they just pick and go ur aso ebi on d day of occasion determine u eating rice and drink(LoL). So how do we address dis now coss d money is true d inflows are weekly from daily sales or payments from clients

What the Vo want to see is the inflow of income, they are more interested to see how much you earn monthly and see it entering your account every month and there must be documents backing that up like payslip if you employed. But for self employed you needed to be paying your self every month salary and that is what you need to declared on your application backing it up with tax papers and CAC documents. They are not interested in you having millions in your account. If is 200K you declared as your monthly income on your application and it reflects in your account statement for the past six months even if the balance is not even up to a million you can still get the visa since money always come in every month and is demonstrated in your account statement..

Same here, applied 6th June, travel date passed already, contacted them last week, was told still under consideration that I should note it can take up to 60 working days. However over the weekend I tracked using the link provided earlier on this thread and it shows decided last Thursday, yet to hear anything official from them tho. Fingers crossed.

was it vi you submitted your application? Which site the one I know always showing not recognise when I input my GWF number... Thanks

Sagamaje:
@ just wise and all the gurus. My wife applied since June 5th and up till now nothing yet. Called UKVI on Monday 7th of July and they told us decision not yet made. What can we do now? This is so frustrating

did mine on the 6th of June that is when I submitted my application too at vi till now no response.... But sent email on the 27th of June that my application remains underconsideration and apologies for the inconvenience that I will hear from them in the coming days. Did u get that email too? This is really bad... My leave is ending this friday.

I did biometric on the 6th of June till now no response is 6weeks and two days now... What should I do? I have been tracking ukvi and tls web site every seconds still no update yet....

SasaOgs:
My cousin did 12th June in Abuja no response

i did biometric on the 6th of June at vi any yet no response

27 working days now no response from ukvi, nawa oo... My leave period is ending month ending and I hope they will not give excuse with that?

Mine is also a visitor visa renewal though. Biometrics was done at Abuja collection center on June 20, received at Sheffield July 3rd, then I tracked it today on the home office website and noticed it was decided since July 6 and I have just received an email from TLScontact as well. That's a total of 12 working days.

give me the website you used to track it please

dcutey:
Just wanted to inform the house that I've been given UK Visa with less than six months validity on my Passport. Thank you all for your help, I'm grateful to all the contributors of the thread.

congratulations

My application finally showed "Decided" on the home office website however yet to be updated on TLScontact website. I will go to the collection center in 48hours to pick up our passports. Fortunately for me, my travel date is next week. Thank you all for your support. The wait is indeed not easy. Hopefully everyone gets their passports back before their travel dates. Cheers!

hello did you just checked it now? Where did you submitted your application? I submitted mine at vi since on the 6th of June and yet haven't hear from them now is 24 working days now and is a visitor visa application

justwise:
You need to build your salary account for at least 6months before using it for visa application.

If you can show evidence of that cooperate contribution then good it could be used as part of your account history.

All you have to do is to explain it in your visa application form..that you do cooperate contrition from your salary.

I am really worried because am supposed to travel on the 5th of July to return on the 12th of July just taking a week out of my leave vacation now by Monday it will be 10th of July.. Will they still considered the fact that my intended date and period is almost over? Although even after my intended period I will still have more than 2 weeks remaining for my vacation as stated in my leave letter and letter to the embassy, hope they will consider that even if my intended date of travel has passed and intended period is almost over that won't be a problem? Ekpotek, Justwise etc what to do Na?

I'm in the exact same situation. Same timelines. There must be a problem with submissions made around that week of June 6th. I knew something was amiss when I didn't get an acknowledgement of receipt from UKVI until 2 weeks after biometrics (19th June) and this apology on the 15th working day (27th June) I think they muddled up the applications around that time, hopefully it doesn't adversely affect decisions reached. I'm not in a hurry to travel tho', so I'm ready to wait it out. You could try to contact them on Monday, it will be 25 working days by then and that is unusually long for a standard visit visa, more so when people who submitted later already have their decisions and this delay affects quite a few of us.

And you even submitted before me. Did you pay priority service I didnt pay at all. I did standard service.

i didn't, it's standard service and it was at VI office ....

yispa:
@Xto4 why not go to TLS Ikeja where you said you did biometrics with your collection slip and let them check for you. It might be a communication error. It's possible your passport is there waiting to be picked up. If it's not there then send ukvi mail and they will tell you if it's still awaiting decision or if decision has been taking. If it has been taking you move to uk embassy at Walter Carrington and check. If decision has not been taking then you need to wait

This was the email they sent me last week

ekpotek:
Please note that refusal of visa are rarely based on travel date. I had once received my passport with visa a day after my proposed travel date. Just pray you get the visa, you can always used it within the 6 months valid period.

thanks Ekpotek

Hello house, I submitted my application on the 6th of June and did my biometric same day got email from Sheffield on the 20th that my application is under consideration and on the 27th got another email from same Sheffield that my application remains under consideration and they apologised for any inconvenience that may have caused me, now my question is it is a visiting visa for 7days and it is supposed to start today although my leave started on the 3rd of July to end on the 28th of July, what should I do since am supposed to travel today should I still wait? And hope this will not cause any negative impact on my application since my travelling date supposed to be today 5th July? But can still travel anytime if granted since I still have plenty days ahead but hope they will say my traveling date has passed. @ ekpotek. Justwise etc pls answer me
