88k TLS appointment.
Asking specifically for a first timer. As I know date for biometrics are now a bit far into the future, does it make sense to fill my form saying i'm travelling July, only to end up not having a close by date for biometrics on TLS portal. Lagos state

Alexie89:
What do you mean pay for biometrics?
Is it the 88k tls appointment thing? Or the visa fee?

Pls who has paid for biometrics recently. What's the earliest date available.
Asking for a colleague who wants to travel in July.

Pls what is the current date for with regards to appointment date.
Lagos pls

Hello, please does viator.com still do reserve and pay tours? I've been trying to book some tours but it's not going past the payment method. Any idea of any other sites I can use for booking tours to use for applications?

Thanks in advance

Hello mums, has anyone travelled back to US recently after giving birth on the same visa

Good Day All,

Thank you for this platform, it helped me in application process.

I applied for 6 months visa with my spouse for a family visit to UK to visit my brother and his family

Date of biometrics; Feb 21
Date of approval ; Mar 13

Docs submitted:
Self introduction letter with detailed travel itinerary
Introduction Letter from employer
Employment letter
Tax clearance certificate
6 months salary acct statement
6 months mutual funds acct statement
6 months payslip
Marriage cert.
Birth certificate
My child's birth certificate
MSc. ission letter showing I'm enrolled in a part time studies in Nigeria
Pictures with my brother I am visiting to establish relationship
Pictures of me at work with colleagues and awards won at work
House rent payment proof
My brother's UK port data page, utility bill and letter of invitation for my family
Copy of port stamps from previous travels, and other previous visas

My visa was approved, however that of my spouse denied. We would re-apply for his.

Thank you for your response.
We were/are both first time applicants. I am on this platform to gain knowledge on the right thing to do.
I won't be here asking questions and wasting people's time if i "know the right thing to do"
I am not refusing to present his personal statement, it's just that as advised on this platform, there are credits from multiple sources which is not advisable to use such an acct statement. Hence me saying "the personal acct is not in good state".

giselle237:

You and your spouse are perhaps headstrong.
He was refused for not presenting his personal acct statement.. here again you are reapplying and still refusing to produce this and now claiming business statement-
You know the right thing to do.

It will take more than 2 wks for your visa to be ready, why not make your date like 3 wks to a month's time?

SPDAZZY:
Hello everyone,

Please does it matter to the ECO if one makes a visit visa application to visit family two weeks before intended travel date.

My personal budget for 8 days was 1,600 pounds. To stay with a sibling too. Includes flight, feeding, transport, sightseeing.
was granted the visa

christopheru:

Is the June date for Lagos appointments ? Abuja is likely April/May[/quote]

It seems so

Alexie89:
Goodafternoon, please is the visa site down? Im trying to book appointment, it keeps saying maintenance

Book for biometrics now.
All documents are submitted physically.
the earliest date for biometrics is currently mid June.
Just fill your form today and get ready

oaa333:
I have a question please. I plan to apply to travel to . My proposed travel date will be in July. However my documents/ bank statement will not be ready until May end. I am reading on here that the wait time for biometric is long.
Is it possible to book for biometric in advance before submitting my documents?

Or all my documents must be ready for submission before I can book an appointment for biometric ?
If its like that, Do we think its feasible to submit in May end, do biometric afterwards and get the result of visa outcome by mid July?

Pls help me guys

You don’t need a multiple entry visa if you are visiting these countries on a single trip.

You will only need multiple entry visa if intend to leave the shenghen zone and come back again with the same visa .

Hello house,

Pls I intend to visit and some other Schengen countries in July.
I am a first timer, pls what are my chances of being given a multiple entry visa?
Most first timers around me were given single entry visas..
Do I write in my application that I intend to visit multiple countries? will that help my case?
I have valid UK, US and Canada visas, does this help my chances of getting a multi entry visa on first trial?

Awaiting views and responses. Thanks house

Good Day house,

I applied with my husband (family application) to visit UK.
I stood as the family sponsor (I have enough money to sponsor us both)
We didn't submit my husband's acct statement, we only submitted pay slips.

When the decision came back, I was granted, while my husband was denied on the basis that even if I am sponsoring the family, he should still have presented his statement to show his financial status in Nigeria.

When he applies again, we will attach that. However, I wanted to ask if I can still stand as a sponsor?

Hello, biometrics done 21st February 2025

crackcrack:


What date did you do your biometrics?

Your visa has most likely been granted. You’ll confirm when you pick up your port.

AMAZING YEEEEY

eniola1010:


If u do not see a refusal letter enclosed in pdf then it means ur application has been granted

Pls I got a mail that a decision has been taken on my visa, how do I know which decision? or it it until I go and get the port back?

Pls have you gotten a response yet? I'm in exactly this same situation

Ajalalomo:
Good morning, everyone. On February 18, one of my relatives submitted his application and received an email from UKVI the following day stating, "We are still processing your application."

But when I checked the application tracking portal today to see how his application is progressing, I saw no information update there.

Hello all,

Pls have those who submitted in Mid Feb received decisions already?
I'm still waiting for my visa approval, I went to the VFS website to see if I can even track my application, no progress is showing up. Do I keep waiting?

If you don't try, you will never know. Apply.

Agidipie:
I live in the UK and have an event coming up in September. I have already gotten the event tickets and want to apply for canada visa in April, but the stories I am hearing about rejection rate is alarming. Because I don't want to waste my time and money. I am worried, I don't want to add visa rejection to my record, lol. I am a content creator, don't work for anyone but myself, the event is a day event for people in my line of work. Surely, I am coming back to the UK after the event. I hope the will issue me the visa?

On adobe reader, print to save as pdf. It should solve the problem

Michaelcoolid88:
no it isn’t altered straight from my bank mail, did same for my employment document. Saw similar complaints on Reddit about same thing

Thanks a lot

Cashmadam:


Yes. I've used it a few times for myself and to sponsor my children
