Hello. Please how did you get the letter from UKVI? I'm in the same situation. I got a BRP mail since last year but no collection mail. How do I get my port back kindly help out. Thank you

Thank you so much.
I eventually got a collection email few days back after visiting TLS again with the instruction letter from UKVI to release my port.
UKVI gave me the most frustrating times of my life in 2022 both financially and emotionally. I lost 2 travel scholarships (Asia and Europe) because of their delay in returning my port (over 4 months) for nothing. I realised that £55 payment VI is nothing but an offering. If not for the letter I took there physically, I doubt if I will ever get my port back.[/quote]

Have you gotten a collection mail now? My hubby is in the same situation.

OptimisticK:
Nawa o

I hope this won't my case o.
Waiting for collection mail since 29th of Dec, after a successful BRP mail.

I don't understand this people o.

port collected today.

The first application got refused on the 9th of December. Made the necessary correction with the help of the wonderful people here and reapplied.

My mum is absolutely buzzing. Hahaha

Not sure you can apply as her dependant from outside the UK. You might be better off waiting for her to get her ILR since she is on her last 2.5 years.

Davinton:


She is on her last 10yrs( private route) period before she can apply for indefinite leave to remain. We have been advised to apply for spousal visa since we are married. I checked the UK website nothing saying for or against it but I'd I appreciate you or someone that has same experience to point me to the right direction.

Thank you.

ed is her type of visa status and didn't say much about marriage but says his/her family member can apply on the same application.

I’m afraid you’ll have to continue with professional help as I don’t want to mislead you

Really? Is there any information to back it up? As I speak an immigration lawyer in UK is willing to take up our case but I need to be sure if we have a good case before I pay him for his service.

Wow! Have you escalated?

OptimisticK:
No

Yes.

I went to TLS today, they said my port isn't ready.

I just have to wait till God knows when.

Arrywendie:
Wow! Have you escalated?

I just can't find under which category you will apply. Maybe you should ask the lawyer before commiting yourself. What I am sure of is that it os definitely not spouse visa.

3.6m as budget for 7 days.. pls how much do you earn monthly? This is too much. U want to clear out all ur money in just 1 week? 7200 pounds for 1 week. I am afraid oo. As you have done biometrics ALREADY.. there’s no advice to give as it is late. Wait for the outcome. Good chances if your income is at least twice this amount +/- acceptable travel history

Wow wow I’m very very happy for you autumn, pls if I may ask how much you stated as your travel cost? Do you draw a budget for your travel cost ? What’s your closing balance and opening balance ?

Pls can you list all the doc submitted autumn

3.6m for a 7 days trip is definitely too much. Even too much for a 14 days trip. Whichever ways, I wish you goodluck and God’s favor in your application.

Is Estimated cost of trip below ok for disposable income of 450k monthly ?

Ticket 2ways : 450,000 :. £810.655
Accommodate for 8 days : £433.79
Feeding: (8 days £30/day):. £240
Transportation (8 days£15/day):. £120
Tour/miscellaneous :. £ 170

Total Est. Cost trip : £ 1,774.445 : NGN 983,092 @ £1: 554.028

With closing balance of 4m plus

Is my budget for flight ticket for 450k ok? Because I don't want my trip cost too high or too low

Please any adjustments?

Hi
Please, how did you get someone to listen to you at TLS? .I'm in the same situation, got a successful BRP letter on the 21st of November, till date I'm yet to receive my port. I've sent several mails and UKVI has replied on different occasion saying they have told my VAC to release my port. Please who do I meet at TLS to show the letter. My employer is worried.

Thanks for your anticipated assistance �
