justwise:

Alright! Thank you very much.

Do you know how long it might take for me to hear from them? Sorry I am just a bit shaky.

That is normal, if they couldn't process your application within settime you will receive that email

Good Morning,

Hope you are all doing well,

I am worried about my application and I decided to check in with you guys. @justwise, please help out.
I made an application on the 29th of June(priority) but I got an email yesterday saying that my application isn’t straightforward.

I made application with my Two dependents, I have been to the Uk once and also been to Schengen area couple of times.

In my last visa application to the Uk, I didn’t include one of my dependents because as at that time, she wasn’t financially dependent on me as she was staying with her older sister, so I didn’t add her as my dependents and also didn’t travel with her as at that time. I don’t know if this is the reason to why my application is on hold.

Also I have been denied an American visa.
Please can you guys give me any advice on how to follow through.

Another question, when one receives this kind of mail, do they call the person? And how long do I normally need to wait before I get a response considering I paid for priority.

Toughest questions asked,

1. how did you (or your sponsor) get the money in your ? Be prepared to explain this.

2. How much will you be earning when you return to your country.
For me, I said I wouldn't know how much I'll earn, but at the moment, I earn .... and I strongly believe after my Masters program, I'll definitely earn higher.

Congratulations Dear.

Can you share your time line?

Was it super priority or priority?

Anyone going to KINGSTON UNIVERSITY? or knows someone there. Kindly reply.

Hi everyone, Good Morning!

Please I need someone to advise me.
Yesterday I tried paying for me IHS and I tried twice but it wasn't successful "it wrote our website is currently not available, and try again later" but I got debited from my bank. I had to use another method of payment, but with the same card, and it went through.

I got an email later saying "Transaction confirmation" three time with different IHS reference number. How do I get a refund? Or is this from my bank?

This is a sample of the email I got, I have like three of it.

Thank you

Hello Good evening.

Please I want to use 3differebt s both in my parents name that have exceeded the 28say rules for my visa application.!

Hope it wouldnt be a problem for me?

Hello everyone.

Anyone going to KINGSTON UNIVERSITY, LONDON this January? Or has an idea of anyone going? Please let me know. Thanks.

Good evening everyone.

So my port came out today, and yes I was issued a visa, I posted the other day that my Mother and Younger sister also got.

I would list the documents I submitted,

I am a student, and I couldn't even get an introduction letter from my school, so I submitted

1. School ID
2. Payment receipt since I entered school
3. My school results.

I wrote a cover letter to explain that I wasn't able to get an introduction letter and that my exams were starting by August, I also gave them details to my school portal (name and ) for further enquiries.

My Father is my sponsor, for that I submitted
1. A letter he wrote introducting me and saying he would sponsor my trip(plus mum and younger sister)
2. My birth Certificate
3. Dad's land CofO
4. Dad's statement of almost 5Million.

Our budget for the trip was about 1775pounds each person, I also booked my flight ticket before my Biometrics and submitted it.

Reason for the trip Is for my Sisters convocation, so I submitted her

1. BRP
2. port Data page
3. Her invite letter
4. Schools convocation letter
5. Her statement.
6. 6months payslip

That's it for now.

After submitting I backed it up with prayers.. LoL..

I am so grateful it worked out.

Thank you so much, everyone that answered my question and everyone hat helped one way or the other.

This means a lot to me.

And my port is even a Virgin port.. I have never left this country before.

I was supposed to travel today, but I just got my port and had to shift my trip.

Thank you!!

I don't know how to check for the status from TLS website, I have tried to do dat a couple of times but I didn't succeed so am just waiting on mail from TLS.

I guess soon urs will be on its way to u

I think it is the reason your application it's been delayed(I am not sure ooo) . You are supposed to on the TLS platform

I got your mail, I replied.. Lets chat

churockng:


Guess u will have to change ur ticket, but then have u called UKVI regarding ur application? Have u ed TLS? Until now no news from TLS yet

Mine has ticked "Decision Made"

So I will just have to wait for mail from TLS.

Omoll:
Good day to you all the Gurus in the house. Please I would like to invite my dad for my graduation coming up next month. Am planning to go for priority service but I don't know how much that will cost me. Please any idea on the amount for priority service please!! Thanks all

212 pounds + the visa fee.

churockng:


Guess u will have to change ur ticket, but then have u called UKVI regarding ur application? Have u ed TLS? Until now no news from TLS yet

I called UKVI on Tuesday after the holiday, they said they had made a decision.

So I reached out to someone I know I TLS and he said my port hasn't arrived TLS. It's still at the high commission. Me I don't understand.

I am legit weak.

churockng:


I applied using Visa4uk this is alarming, I was told yesterday that a decision has been made on my application and I also sent an email to TLS yesterday to know what's happening. Which site did u use when applying? Any news on ur end?

No news yet, and it's the 19th working day,
I am supposed to travel on Monday, but then..
Let me see how it goes.

I am not in Lagos, I would had gone to TLS.

opomulero:



Visa4uk.fco.gov.uk

Maybe you should consider going to TLS today, tell them you called UKVI and they said a decision has been made.. So what's with the delay.

I am not in Lagos, I would had gone there..
Goodluck and keep me updated too

churockng:


I think we are both in the same boat.. I submitted mins and did biometrics on the 10th of May.. I called UKVI today and was told a decision has been made.. but no email yet.. I also want to TLS Ikeja last week Thursday they said port not yet ready.. so am still hoping to get their email.

When did u call UKVI? If today maybe u shud make plans to go to the TLS office where u submitted.

Please keep me updated on ur application

Did you apply using gov.uk or visa4uk.fco.gov.uk?

churockng:


I just called UKVI now and I was told a decision has been made on my application.. but still no email received from either UKVI or TLS

Maybe you should go back to TLS.. I haven't still gotten a mail from them

I am not in Lagos, I would had gone a long time.

churockng:


Congratulations... I have not gotten any response on my application.

Did Biometrics on the 10th of May
Received by UKVI and prepared for consideration by ECO ON the 14th of May

Just yesterday received a mail in my spam that is a survey if I have received any decision made with my application within the last 3 months.

Until this moment I have not received any mail from UKVI PR TLS. It's been about 30 working days now.

Have you called UKVI?

Good Morning everyone.

My mum and kid sister got their Visa this morning.

Biometrics - 22nd May
UKVI mail- 29th May
Visa issued on 11th June

This visa thing is just grace, because we were so scared since we didn't provide some information we thought we needed.

We applied for Family visit Visa, we would be going for my Sisters Convocation.

Mine is yet to come as I did my biometrics few days after them, I wasn't in town.
I hope I get tooo.

Thank you everyone, this group helped me a lot

MissNK:


Yes, got a decision made mail today and port has been dispatched. Hoping to get it by tomorrow all things being equal.

enthusiasm:
Yes I submitted on the 25th. I collected my port this morning. I called them yesterday and they told me decision had been made, afterwards I got my notice to pick up mail.

I am yet to get a response from them.

Anyway hope you got the Visa

Anyone here who applied on the 25th of May?

ekpotek:


Sure book another hotel and include the new reservation as part of your documentation and explain the reason for change of reservation in a cover note.

Thank you very Much.

bigbus:


I don't know. You can try make a fresh booking at the same Airbnb. If you choose to make a fresh hotel booking, you can include the info about the change in a cover letter.

Thank you dear

Hi everyone.. Please I need an urgent answer to this question.

My sister booked a hotel from Airbnb in respect to her husbands Visa application. His appointment is tomorrow and she was just informed that her reservation has been canceled..

Can she booked another hotel to submit at TLS tomorrow? Would it affect his application because she has already written down the address of the accommodation in his application.

Kindly assist me. Thanks.

Does anyone have an idea if DHL works on Public holidays..

My mums port was sent yesterday, don't know if they would deliver it today.
