Please guys, my visa gold card (USD dominated) is not going through for visa fee payment. What could be the issue? Any other method?

Please, how do one answer "How much money are you personally planning to spend on your visit to the UK?" if I am going as part of my family and someone is taking full responsibility to pay all bills

Thank you very much for this. I do appreciate. Did you do for standard visit visa also?

Blessedsteph:
Used KMP in May. You must submit your passport for scanning on the day of biometrics but they will hand it back to you immediately. Once your visa is ready you will get a call to resubmit it to the tls office. You have 28days to do this. Once submitted, it shouldn’t take more than 48hrs to receive collection mail. Mine came in less than 24hrs though. Abuja tls.
All the best.

Thanks a bunch. Can I delay in submitting my passport after a decision has been made? How much time do I have to submit it?

Opeyemi007:
You'd only submit your passport after a decision has been made on your application. Turnaround time is most times 2-3 working days.

Has anybody tried the "keep my passport" option before? Please I will require more clarification / answers on the subject.

I do not need to submit the passport when I do biometrics?
Once I am informed of decision, what is the timeline to submit passport?
Also what is the timeline to collect passport back after submission?

many thanks for your help / assistance on this. @justwise and everyone.

ok, thanks. was decision made and passport returned ticked on the tls website?

Olugerm:
yes I summited on 30th of July at Victoria island but I don't pay for priority just paid normal fee they charged me 207 dollars and I got mail on Friday last week which is the 15working days for pickup and also made decision that same day

Hello @Olugerm. You said you submitted your documents on the 30th if July. Did you apply for Priority? Also, did your tracking read that decision has been made and passport arrived? Thanks.

OK, thanks. It takes three working days normally. Your should get it by Monday then.

No update yet ooo.
Only got a mail on Wednesday from tls that my application has been reviewed and decision and docs wud be sent back to the VAC over the next few days. I am so apprehensive as I av a US visa interview next week Wednesday.

House, how long does it take to get ones docs back from the VAC from the date sheffied notifies one that a decision has been reached.

Please, Any update on this? Thanks.

bimbotek:
Hello house,
Thanks for the good job you guys are doing here.
About a week ago, I got a mail from Sheffield that my application is not straightforward. Today, I got a mail that a decision has been made regarding my visa application and.it shud be ready for collection in 3-5 days.
Now my question is, what does it mean when they say an application is not straightforward? I read sometimes ago here when a lady had a lengthy ban after she got a mail that her application was not straight forward.

Ok, thanks.

No
It is entirely up to you to apply in good time.

Good day house, does UKVI speed up application process knowing that the date of travel is very close? Thanks a bunch.

Hello people, Justwise, Frontpage lawyer et al, as we are advised not to pay for flight what do we present as travel plan document. Please I need answer on this as I need to submit my documents. Thanks.

This is where my main question is. I have not made payment as suggested on the UKVI website. How do I book?

askari01:


Your Flight booking is ur travel document.

Have you made payment already?

Kindly help provide answer to this. I have asked earlier. What do you present as travel document since you are advised not to pay for travel? Also, can you reschedule submitting your application to a later date after booking an appointment with the visa centre. Thanks a bunch.

Hello all, good morning. How do you book air ticket without paying for them? Or better what do you present as travel plan documents. Thanks

Thanks a bunch.

FrontPageLawyer:


Any original document given to you by your stockbroker or bank.

What are the documents you need to present if you have shares and stocks. Thanks

FrontPageLawyer:


You should also tell us your status, how much is available to you for the trip and the documents you have.

I'm working currently, Salary about 150k... Have about 300k for the trip excluding course fee... Friend is on full scholarship Doctorate in the uk.

Hello People, I need to travel for a short course (10 days) and I intend staying with a friend who is also schooling (higher degree). What should my budget be like? Also, what evidences should he provide to support my application. Thanks, I await your responses.

If one applies for a priority visa (Visit) in Ikeja, how long does it take to to get an appointment booked (for document submission) and the overall time taken to get the visa? Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks a bunch.

justwise:


Technically date of biometric because it's part of application process and your application can not be processed without that.

Please, is the visa processing time guidelines on the website of UKVI starting from the date of online application or the date of biometrics or the date it was received by UKVI? Thanks

Ok... Gracias!

justwise:


I was not referring to your current application my post was referring to the old one you were having problem with.

This is the application history. What do you think?

justwise:


Yea it's only a problem when you logged on to the same account.

What problem? Still don't understand you please. I just created a new application with the same email and account I used for the first.

New platform as in?

dave07:
Oga justwise , imperialebony thanks for letting it go.
@zoe07 maybe you should start a new application and let it be on the new platform if you are applying from naija. The short term student visa has been merged with others to become the standard visitor visa and you will get that on the new visa application platform

Yes, I did that. Thanks. My fear earlier was using the same account to apply but someone told me it wasn't a big deal that I could have as many applications for one account.

Have you tried starting a new application?

Hello people, good morning. I was trying to apply for a short term study visa (6 months or less). I started out the application, confirmed, booked appointment and brought me to make a payment for IHS. After inquiry from others, I was told I am not meant to pay for IHS as I have selected the wrong visa type while applying. Every time I log in back to my account, it takes me back to the IHS payment page and there is no button to cancel my application. Please what do i do?
