Hello

Screenshots of emails and jobs is not enough evidence

PoS statement of is irrelevant

Your Smedan certificate is okay, although I don't know if that replaces. CAC registration documents

You need to get proper references from the previous companies you have worked for, fulltime or freelance


Cheers

You must have made an error in dates, go back and correct it or restart your application

Good evening sirs & Ma, Please I just filled out my form and on getting to the IHS payment, I was shown a zero dollar ($0) to pay. As I clicked the continue tab, I got the IHS reference number which was automatically updated in my application. Now, my application has been moved to the next page where I have to pay for a Visa application.

1. Please, Is it advisable to proceed with the Visa application payment or do I need to cancel the entire application since I wasn't made to pay for IHS?

2. Should I proceed with the visa application payment, would I be able to pay for the IHS later time at TLS center?

Please if you've had similar experience, let me know how you resolve it. Thank you.

Good Morning guys.. Flight prices these days aren't funny again 😭😭😭.. Please who has travelled recently?? What flight did you use??

The cheaper ones I've seen have two stopovers and require transit visa on most cases 😭😭... What's the process for getting the transit visa please? Has anyone gone through the process before??

Hello duchess90,


Good day.

I just wanted to inform you I got my visa. I did everything you advised, I didn't pay anyone and God did it. I applied ( Bio date july 30th) from Qatar and it took one week ( standard ) to get the good news. However, I only got the email from VFS global, I've not received the collection email or BRP mail FROM UKVI.


Thanks for all you do. Ignore haters please.

Tip101:
Pls gurus in the house… @duchess and everyone pls.

My brother applied for a study visa and has since gone since February. So he decided to bring in his wife and kid after settling down. They were both the dependent when he applied.
So due to port issue, the wife did her application first and then got her visa since 3rd of July, but had to wait because of their son.
So when his son’s port was ready, he had to pay for a date for his appointment at TLs Abuja and he successfully did his biometric on the 26th of July.
Till today, they haven’t gotten any email. Now they’re really worried because he doesn’t want to leave his son behind. Also, he thinks him already there and his wife having a valid visa should help with their son’s processing/application but nothing yet. Please what can be done or they shouldn’t have to worry about anything as both of them have a valid visa?

He paid for standard and not priority.

@Duchess @Giselle237 there’s an update regarding my nephew’s application that I posted about.

We got an NSF mail today regarding his application. Please what do you both and other gurus thinks he can do to go about it.

Nothing was asked of him. No other documents was asked to be provided.

Dear Gurus,
Please my application has moved to application transferred to VAC but no nsf, no collection mail either. Thank you

When did you do biometrics? And was it priority?

I'm tired already, since on the 1st ooh.

Datakey:

I did my biometrics on the 2nd August 2023 and I did priority service.

Hello House…Please how do I pay for my visa fee and ihs fee,I only have a naira …Please somebody should put me through

gthots:
I will let the experts respond, but I do not think a naira card works; I recommend you use a dollar card.

@duchess90

I used GTBANK naira master card and it worked.

Let your carrier be 9mobile or airtel.

MTN call rate was too high. 7 minutes I paid N2,200.

I used 9mobile for 28 minutes call and paid a little above 900 naira airtime.

Good luck.

Where did you do your biometrics?

Please who else noticed this new update from ukvi application website?
I finished filling the form (dependant) and was about to make payment for IHS, I delayed and was eventually logged out. Immediately I looged in. I was presented with this page.
I have ed the state of filling the application form and this just popped up. I am very confused

Hello, Is there anyone with Bio date 31 july that has gotten visa from VI TLS. I did priority and got empty NSF but nothing yet. I mailed yesterday and they sent generic reply but nothing yet still. Its getting boring now

good day house

I did my Biometrics august 2nd got no nsf and BRP mail. My application sent to VAC on the tracker, got a DHL pick up mail just now

Should I be worried about this 🤔

Apologies, just checking online.
I finally aborted the plan, it's not making sense. Searches will show you one thing and attempt to book, you'll be seeing increased fares. BS.

Stick with wakanow, keep refreshing every few mins if you can afford to, you'll get lucky. Just make sure you're searching for next day flight. My wife got for herself eventually even when we're searching at the same time, but the UK IP possibly hindered me from getting the deal. She got Egyptair 803,239 for tomorrow's flight.

Don't give up please

afrolegend:
Yes i
and my partner planning this week

How can we go about it

Prices are high

Priority or Standard? Which Centre please?

Dont be worried, as long as no refusal email, your visa vignette should be on your port.

Imagine after I already booked. BS

Please, I seek for opinion.
We intended to apply for Visa together with our child but we have to let her stay back till Dec due to financial reasons.
Should the MA still declare the child under the people that financially depend on him or remove any traces of the child in the application and family photograph? Note there is sufficient POF for 3 of us and she will be applying in December?
Thanks

I am so grateful for this thread. I don't even know how to process my gratitude.

Specially, I'll like to say thanks to @duchess90
I don't know who you are but you are such a special soul. Your selflessness is unmatched. You answered every single one of my questions very clearly and this visa success is because of you. I don't know you but I love you and I wish you all the best in life. Everything you have sowed, you will reap in million folds. Amen.

I'll also like to thank every single member here for your questions that gave me new perspectives and also for the answers you provide that helped me to understand things better.

MA was initially in september 2023 batch, then we felt we needed more time and so we deferred ission to January 2024. When we heard the news about the no dependant rule from January 2024, we moved back to September 2023 batch. we are so grateful the school (University of Hull) was very prompt with our requests.

I pray that everyone seeking visa on this thread will testify and also have a visa alert to share. Amen.

Yes, they the bank to confirm.

Luada:

What if you use a naira with a huge opening balance and they is no transaction made for 28 days. Second question do uk visa office the bank to confirm if they was or is money in the bank
