As long as you haven’t done biometrics, you’ll get a refund. You can start another application

OK, from the received mail is there any notification stating her application being considered. If so, then it's in process you have to wait and if not probably they are still on it.

I don’t understand these UKVI people!!! My mom’s tourist visa application is 9 weeks now. They’ve been with her port for 9 weeks going to 10 weeks!
I sent a paid mail and they said decision has been made and I tracked her application and it’s still at DMC??
She did her biometrics on the 2nd of June
Please how do I get her port back?

She finally got her visa yesterday…
Application that lasted for up to 2 months plus
I sent paid mail twice then the next day, she got a collection mail…

Please house please help. I got a new job last year September, earning 200k monthly with a small private company. We don't have payslip and tax deductions has been removed and I can't show it. Will it be an issue in my visiting visa renewal? (This will be my 5th renewal with no refusal). Please I also want to as if police character certificate is a must in visiting visa application? This time around my host will be my sister and she is deaf, can she put her ear diagnosis report? Please help
peace2peace: 9:41am On Aug 05, 2022
Not yet, still waiting for the collection email. Although a decision has been made since June.
kod161:


Hi,
Please have you gotten any update?

I submitted an application which is more than 10 weeks now, and decision has not been made.
It’s not a first time application..
peace2peace: 9:44am On Aug 05, 2022
It seems those that did biometrics in May are the once experiencing this huge delay! Has a decision been made on her application like mine? What else do we do?

My mum’s biometrics was 24th of May and no decision mail yet

Absolutely and extremely disconcerting. As though those who submitted in May/June did something wrong. If there was glitch in their system they should have rectify it than allow people go through such an harrowing and prolonged waiting period.

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.

Goodmorning all,

An update on my last post.

6months standard visitor visa

Biometrics was done 7th June 2022

Got to UKVI 12th June 2022

Wanted to send a paid mail about 7 weeks after biometrics but card failed and I just lost zeal in sending. Eventhough I was frustrated but I kept my cool cos I don’t really have any need for the port for now.

Got a collection mail from TLS on 4th August 2022
Got port with visitor visa on 5th August 2022.

Visa starts from September 2022 probably because my intended date of travel is September.

I have two travel history which is UAE and Ghana.

Prior to this application, I have three visa refusals which were all declared. One for USA in 2018, UK 2016 and UK 2021. All were handled by agents however, I did this one myself with the help of of this forum. Cos I whenever I had any challenge, I dashed here to ask and got answers.

Documents submitted,
Letter of introduction from employer
Work id
Payslips 6months
My certifications earned
My travel history stamps
Reference letters with statements of from PiggyVest, naira and dom .
Self introductory letter
Additional information letter (where I detailed everything which includes my work, ties, detailed financial inflow and outflow analysis of significant funds)
Property document.
hip certificate
Leave approval
Hotel booking


My take home from this is that, we should all try to fill the forms ourselves and not contract it to any agent cos only you can explain your situation better.

Also, there is no such thing as too much information. I explained every single thing and actually put myself in the VO’s shoe cos I figured most of them won’t call to clarify and will most likely make a decision based on what we submitted so I addressed everything I felt might need clarification with proof.

Also I addressed my previous refusal which was the most recent that talked about inconsistencies in my salary (when multiplied by 12) which doesn’t correspond to what my company gave as annual. Noticed it was due to the fact that the agent didn’t declare I had additional income which were my allowances. Company added allowances and salary but VO only summed up salary and it didn’t match up to the annual. This, I declared in the form and did a breakdown while addressing it.
The other reason for refusal was that I had unexplainable lump sum in my , I also made sure my was clean and any money in there could be explained.

I hope this will be useful to someone else out there.

Thanks to everyone on this group for the good work and I will still be around as I intend to do two years after this.

So feel free to ask questions and I will answer to the best of my ability.

My previous salary was 120k and it was a bigger company and I pay taxes and it showed. I am just worried about the tax not showing since no pay slip

Hey fam! Help me out here. I tracked my visa and it says "Application transfered to VAC"
What does this mean? Is the visa approved and eligible for pickup? Its only been 2 weeks.
Thanks
mamawa123: 1:02pm On Aug 05, 2022
Next June (2023) my port will be no longer valid. Can I apply for a 5- or 10-year UK visa using the same port?

I have received a 2-year UK visa three times, thus my next application will be for a 5- or 10-year visa.

Absolutely YES. Just get a new port once that expires and with your existing and valid visa, attach the new one.
