Lucky you. Was it Lagos or Abuja?

Lagos. I tried as much as possible to make it a straightforward application.
For those always wondering, you do not need to submit a copy of your COS. I didn't submit mine. Neither did I submit my offer letter or anything, only the things on my checklist.

Wisdom7400:

just walk to the post office in your town center where you want to receive it and tell them what u want. They will request for your port and brp letter, and you will pay. It usually takes 7 working days or so. To arrive.

Thank you so much. I have been worrying about this for a while.

*PLEASE HOW DID YOU SETTLE THIS? AM IN THE SAME SITUATION*

I returned the port to TLS and I was called the following by the British embassy that it is not an issue that the name was too long.

Just as I guessed ! So I went back to pick the port 2days after, no changes . We are over a month in UK now.

For those who have travelled. Pls

2. Is it free?

To make your application straightforward, DO NOT submit unnecessary documents. From my point of view, all those CV, pictures, fathers history, cover letter etc are not necessary unless requested.

Documents i submitted are:
TB
Police cert
port
IELTS

For spouse and kids:
Marriage cert
TB
Police cert
birth cert for kids
ports
Letter of consent for kids (signed by both parents)

Your question isn’t worded well. It’s confusing. You can start application anytime you wish. But all documents should be ready before ur biometric

Thank you sir.... Please let me rephrase.

My wife the main applicant has already applied for her visa, her biometric is tomorrow.

Me and the kids haven't applied yet, because the kids TB test is tomorrow which the result would be Friday.

My question is that, can we start our application, immediately on Friday or Saturday, considering my wife application is just been processed, it's not out yet.

Asking for a friend.

For someone applying for a skilled worker visa from Nigeria, on the application form, they only ask for the MA info and that of their partner. There is no where in the form that says how many children do you have or where to put the childrens info. Is that how the form is? And how are the kids to apply with their mum later?
