Yes, 7th week. I sent a paid mail yesterday and the stated no decision made yet which is taking longer than expected. It's a Direct Airside Transit through UK and taking forever, can I withdraw my port since I have other means.

Hello, does anyone now how long it takes for ones port to be returned by ukvi after you cancelled an application of 8weeks( visitor's visa). I am tired , i need my port to process skilled worker visa

So sorry R Ogundipe. U should know better that any form of payment made into ur would raise eye brow...May i ask you how much you had before you sold your land and how much was your balance when you applied? Lets start from there pls

Before I sold the land in feb I had bout 2.3 after selling the land I had about 22m which I bought a car for my wife and and did an investment for 6.5 which all receipts and certificate of investment where included in my application.

Finally I applied with a balance of 2.420 in June

It is not wrong for someone to have huge deposits in his bank s as long as it is well justified with documents evidence. I mean anything can happen, sale of house, car, land etc. What would have happened is that in the application where it is mentioned "Other Sources of Income, investments" etc, you could have ticked and mention the total amount you received. When it comes to filling the part about employment status, monthly income, other earnings, you should fill it together with what appears on your bank statements to be on the safe side In fact, your figures in the application should match with bank statements. I believe you have good reasons and explanations to address the concerns on the refusal once you re-apply.

2.3m in February, 2.4m at submission, 22m in and out before June doesn’t look good IMO. Made it look like someone ran funds through your .

Yes I did click other sources of income, investment and also submitted all receipts an investment cert and all was stated in my cover letter… will definitely try again in January. Not in a hurry

If you are to apply again in January 2023, make your bank statement very flexible, have a dedicated salary where your company pays you monthly stable income and you have your tax evidence, spend from the salary the money you will state as your monthly expenditure,Visa success is not always about the millions of naira in business transactions but the steady inflow of monthly/yearly income, that's why it's easier for the ECO to applicant financial stability through the salary . you can use your other bank s for your day to day business transactions. It becomes complicated for the ECO to understand if you keep adding and subtracting millions of naira from the same because you are the owner and want to use the same bank statement as visa proof of funds. Have genuine ing documents for your other sources of income, especially investment documents, receipts etc. The ECOs have enough applicants to attend to daily than trying to spend time on a single application for genuineness of your financial situation especially if you are not a frequent Traveller to the UK and other developed countries.

How did you pay for your flight ticket? Via travel agent? Or our naira debit cards are working?
I.e I saw a qatar flight like 550k, but it's payment by debit card? Any solutions?

Qatar has payment via bank transfer… where are you booking through?
Set your location to Nigeria on their website, do payment on hold.. it will give u 2 options.. go ahead with 24 or 48 hrs hold.. u will receive their naira numbers to make payment before the deadline

The best thing to do is to also contract the VAC services to another agency such that it won’t be only TLS. It’s obvious that there might not be an end in sight in the delay of port sadly.

I am also a fresh UK applicant caught in the wait time even when I did my biometrics since June 7th 2022. Received at DMC about 4 to 5 days after and till date, it’s still at DMC. I tried sometime last week to send a paid mail but it didn’t accept my GTBank naira card nor my Firstbank Dom card. So I just gave up on that. However, a colleague did her biometrics like a week after mine and she has her port and visa with her already. Although that was a renewal (2 years) from her previous 6months Visa.

Just decided to give an update on my previous post.

I received a mail from TLS now that my port is ready for collection. I have checked my inbox and spam to see if there is any prior mail that i skipped but there is none.

My biometrics was done in Ikeja, Lagos on the 7th of June 2022.

I don’t know what is there yet but I intend to go get my port tomorrow and update the house on the outcome.

You just used the land money to kill ur application, if the money stayed in ur till when u wanted to apply , the ECO might think its savings . but u received large sum of money in ur and you later bought car and investment of 6.5... You shot ur self on the Leg ni...There is no need to boost ur when u already had 2.3 in the . perfect ur withing the next few months , pay urself 400k salary, spend 120-150 each month and worry less about boosting yout ... with 1.5m you can get ut visa if ur is perfectly done.

Greetings all. My aunty has a valid US visa and would really like to make a party in the UK. If she arrives the same day of the party she can leave the following day to the US. So I went to the UK Gov website and entered the criteria. Please someone should help me read. The way it's looking it's as if she doesn't need a transit visa.
