Any update from your end ?

I've been using Travelstart.com for years now

Maynne:
Please what's the safest way to book a flight? Can booking online on Wakanow or Skyscanner be trusted?

Well, mine was on the 13th, standard application, received the same email on the 1st of September... But we're hoping to get a response shortly

ukapplicant:
Student visa, 18th August

There are so many of us in that same shoe, it simply means the application won't be decided at the original time frame, and that doesn't mean it will be rejected either. Just pray the decision comes out soonest

ukapplicant:
Hello good people of nairaland, my sister applied for standard and it's 25 working days but no visa only to receive this mail today please who got similar mail from ukvi and what happened next? Was visa granted? Thank you

when did she apply, which TLS, and what kind of application?

Same here, it's definitely our week... I'm hopeful before the end of the day we'd get mails

Paneka:


They sent their generic reply this evening. Hopefully I will get something positive this week.

Go to the bank, ask for requirements, they will advise you on what to bring... That should do

Ehimanuel:
I have been having some difficulties with paying my deposit which is £3500. First Bank is declining my transaction. I was told to open a domiciliary acct. This domiciliary thing is delaying me. I am still searching for a current account holder who's not using it for salary, to stand in as a second referee.

Does anyone here have a similar experience and how did you resolve yours?

When did you receive the collection mail?

Hallylim:



Thank u. Same day? What did they say? Have u tried sending paid mail? Cos I did. I was abt to call wen I saw the tracker has advanced to VAC.

Wow, your testimony has given me hope, because we did our biometrics same day, same TLS Ikeja, got the the non straight forward mail a day after yours, that means possibly tomorrow we'll get ours as well... I really advice anyone applying to avoid standard if you don't want high bp

Hallylim:
Alhamdulilahi Robbil’alamin. I’ve begged God so much to give me the grace n opportunity to be able to type this.

Visa alert! Visa alert!! Visa alert!!!

I see this visa as a miracle.
Application 12/08/2021
Biometrics 13/08/2021
Non straightforward mail 31st/08/2021

Then different negative thoughts started ringing in our heads.
Issues we had;
•mistake in my baby’s consent letter (could be seen as minor)
•hubby was refused in US and two other countries but we tot declaring only one was sufficient and we declared only US.

Those 4 weeks and 4 days we waited for seemed like forever. Waking up with sadness mixed with headache, anxiety, high BP, fear and all sort. But we really prayed, my mum over prayed. Alhamdulilah it’s all joy now.
In fact, it was the non straight forward mail that led me to nairaland because I just needed to mix with pple who can understand me. I mailed a number of pple privately here, all due to my fear. Standard application is indeed something to stay clear of!
I pray other waiting applicants get their visas with joy, aameen.

The address you'll stay while in UK

hardae:
Please on the passenger locator form is home address supposed to be uk or Nigerian address

Did they request for additional information?

Hallylim:



I got the non straight forward

Any of those European airlines will require a transit visa... Hope you have made arrangements for that, else reconsider your decision

fman15:
Good day All,

Wow, congrats finally. When was the not straightforward mail received and what do you think was the reason for that

Bibahb:
Alhamdulillah robbil alamin

I said I would come back and testify my own and God did it

Visa alert!!!

Some of you will know my story from cas to recently non straightforward mail but thank God it ended in praise.

Super priority, biometrics on the 30th of august


Pick up my passport today with visa granted

Thank you to every person that help, guided and encourage during the journey… those encouragement goes in long way to me …

This is a course I plan to do in future... If you're in the IT field, you should know that selling yourself won't be a big deal except you're just switching to IT but along the line during the cause of study, you'll know what you are faced with globally

My fellow senior in CyberSecurity please I need tips on how to transition successful into the labour market around the world. How I can sell myself.

Thank you all for the encouragement and word of advice. For those awaiting visa it is done already. Almighty Allah will perfect it and I'm using this as a point of contact to my friend here awaiting his visa. You will testify soon Insha Allah.

In case they want to make some verifications or a required document not being available.
For my own case, my wife was supposed to be exempt from TB test as we haven't been in Nigeria for the past 6 months, so they requested evidence of the exempt in a different mail and also sent each of us the "non straightforward" mail stating that our visa won't come out at the expected 15 working days but will still as soon as a decision is made

Mizmotun:
Whats the meaning of no non straightforward email

Please does anyone have an idea on how long it will take to get collection mail after receiving the "not straightforward" mail from ukvi (standard)

I and my wife are going to bristol as well, expecting our visas soon... How do we link up

omolara123:



You never replied my message

If applying as a dependant, then you are on track

teejay45:


Thanks for your response

The name of the link I am using to apply is below, Am I on the right track ??

PBS,start-up,Innovator or Global talent-Partner Visa

Then I wonder why yours hasn't been approved since you didn't get the 'Not straight forward" email

Hallylim:



TLS ikeja as well

Mine was at TLS Ikeja. What about you?

Hallylim:



I’m not understanding the issue with 13th of august. I’m still waiting for my good news as well as I did biometrics on that day.

Hey guy, after my biometrics on 13th August, I got a mail from pretoria decision center on 1st September, requesting for additional documents which I did on the 8th, please I want to know how long it will take to get my collection mail after receiving non straightforward reply.

Binance will freeze their coins until they fulfill their transaction after you've made your payments... I also noticed that most of the sellers use Kuda microfinance bank

dwilliams:


How safe is it, judging from the fact that I have to credit someone else?

Good morning house, I want to apply for spouse visa, I'm based in Dubai and my partner is based in the UK, we want to visit Nigeria by the end of this year prior to my application, should I apply from Nigeria or here in UAE... I need an urgent response. Thanks

We would like to know. Thanks

She must have committed one sin or the other(probably had sex with a brother or even the pastor) hence the wrath of God was poured upon her and she was smitten!
RIP anyway, I just hope the heaven you believed in is real and you're there now

See judgment... If men are God eeh

I have been following this thread for a while now but I'm yet to read about anyone who lives in Canada or landed with a Temporary work permit... Does that mean that it doesn't work for Nigerians or what? Pls someone should clarify me because i once met somebody who wants to travel with the W-1 visa to Canada.

Thanks

I posted this earlier but yet to get a single response from anyone... Please respond to this abeg

Protest has never helped matters in this country, so let's at a better solution

Almaheed:
I believe restructuring means a lot of things to different people across boards, but the Paramount thing I would envisage is an halt to the Nigerian government and governance like a two weeks retreat where every Nigerian would come out and lay his or her own problems. the rot is systemic that is why we need a very strong agitation to make Nigeria great again

That's the main purpose of the thread... How do we actualize that?

LOL .As commendable as your move is,I doubt if most members of nairaland will have anything constructive to suggest.
Over 70% of them don't even understand how politics works,how a nation is built,the few that understand are too blinded and blighted by ethnic and religious jingoism to give any meaningful suggestions
It's not hopeless though,so I'm following

We just need the few to achieve our purpose, people like you and I can do it.... so i don't mind waiting because we ain't in a hurry
