Re: (APPLICANTS FULL NAME)
Letter of introduction.

I am SPONSORS FULL NAME, born XXth MONTH YEAR in the United Kingdom, currently living in the address as stated above, I am employed by COMPANY NAME, Employment commenced: DATE EMPLOYMENT STARTED.

I wish my husband/wife Mr/Mrs APPLICANTS FULL NAME, currently living in CITY, COUNTRY to be granted entry clearance to join me permanently in the United Kingdom so we can live together as husband and wife/civil partners.

My husband/wife and I met on/in WHERE AND DATE, and in a relationship since DAY MONTH YEAR and since then we have kept contact thus building a strong and loving relationship that led us to getting married on the DATE OF MARRIAGE at PLACE OF MARRIAGE, CITY, COUNTRY.

From the time we started dating till date, I have travelled to COUNTRY on NUMBER (EG:THREE) different occasions in order to further build our relationship and establish the necessary physical contact, as we both decided it will be cost effective and ideal for me to visit him in COUNTRY as oppose to the other way round.(YOU CAN EDIT THIS IF YOU HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFULL IN GETTING VISIT/OTHER VISAS)

It has been difficult for both of us to have a long distance relationship, our love getting ever stronger so we realised the need to fulfil all necessary requirements to start a life together as a husband and wife should.

In addition I will take responsibility for my husband/wife, APPLICANTS FULL NAME’S, financial sponsorship as one of the major requirements by the home office and have the necessary accommodation for his move to the United Kingdom, where he will eventually work within PREFERRED PROFESSION, as he/she has expressed he/she wishes to continue in the same line of work as he/she is in now.

I am happy to forward additional documents that may be required at any time.

I will be highly obliged if my request is granted as this will make an exceptional progress and difference in both our lives as we look forward to building a family together in the near future.

I thank you in anticipation for your support and kind gesture

Yours Sincerely

SPONSORS FULL NAME

note: we did not write any other letter or have any from family or friends visa was granted

@justwise

Thanks for your response but I have only 28days from yesterday to send an appeal. I also wanted to know if I can make the AR if the ECO did not give me the right to it. I read some where that the ECO needs to give you the right to an AR.

@justwise

Thanks very much for your help and I had made up my mind to go for an appeal. do I need to do the appeal as the sponsor or is it my husband who has to do the appeal?

Only the Nigerian Passport gets stamped (entry and exit points).

justwise:


Strange. The most important thing is that the passport has both stamps

Lexusgs430:


By default, assuming dual nationality is in play. The entry passport gets stamped has the receiving documents and it's also gets stamped at departure, to prove exit.
If a visa was stamped on the British passport, the same principles above applies.
From my limited knowledge of entry and exit documentations.

justwise:


She is a dual citizen and carrying both passports so the issue of visa is out of it.

blza:


The applicant cover letter may not have been essential with regards to your application , but it was to ours. And infact it was exceptionally important and we wouldn't have had our application processed in 3 days without that, as there are concerns that needed explaining about the applicant.

All what we do here as per stating docs provided and what and how we did ours should only act as guidance . Every applicant should tackle thier application in a way that best suits their situation.

Batba1:


What checklist were you referring to here please?

Batba1:
Hi guys...please...should the letter from the employer and letter from the bank be addressed to the ECO, UKVI or it should be 'to whom it may concern'?

Jeljay:


Tmr is officially the end of our 12 week application period and we're yet to get a response. I'm frustrated and very tempted to request for an update of our application first thing tomorrow.

darlene10:

Hi dear the rule says you must have made 18600[b](this is true but is calculated via an average of the prior 6 months )[/b] in the last year so if spouse makes less than that ,but can still meet up the financial requirement through other means like overtime .then what you need is 12 months slip all must be stamped or on company letterhead also introduction letter from company or contract and you need p60 to show that as well you will qualify under category B of full time employment

obabola123:
Hello, please can anyone explain this.
1. my sponsor earn £16,231 per annum without extra shift but with extra shift money all she receive over 7 month now is about £1650 per month. How can we explain this that we meet the financial requirement because on her contract it show that she earn £16,231 and she has additional top up money on extra shift.
Just that the extra shift is not shown on the contract but it was mention. But her pay Gross pay shown on her pay slip £18,585.00 so we are down with £15.

What dates does this include? I ask because if there is another payslip due before the end of the tax year this will then increase the total Gross

" What can we do all she earn now is £18,585,80 per annum with extra shift shown on her gross pay slip, so we are £15 down" i need advice please because am done with my application just to make the payment now.

2. How much is the Immigration health surcharge? because I can see here is 450.00 (USD)
this is correct, IHS, and Visa fee are always in Dollars (Priority is in Pounds)

3. Please can anyone explain how i can print out my Facebook chat because i can only printed 3 month backward and we started our Facebook chat over a year now. you need to show evidence of communication from the start of the relationship during and recent, you can screenshot, and paste into a word doc or check out the how to guide on how to download them, see attached

My British passport has never been stamped when departing UK

ekpotek:


My spouse has dual citizenship. When she travel last to the UK, only her Nigerian passport was stamped when leaving Nigeria. When entering the UK, her British Passport was only inspected and no stamp. When leaving the UK, there was immigration control. On arrival in Nigeria, only her Nigerian passport was stamp. So her British passport has never been stamped even though she has used it to enter the UK twice. In the past, there use to be border control when leaving the UK, not anymore, as all I get whenever I visit the UK is entry stamps, unlike Schengen countries which have entry and exit stamps. I think the absence of immigration control, is to encourage those that have overstayed their visa to leave without encountering immigration.

Portsmouth86:


when the applicant hands in their documents at biometrics, they are given a check list with what they need when collecting the passport back.

Portsmouth86:


Mine was addressed to me

justwise:


That makes sense, when leaving the UK they don't stamp you're passport only a check, I'm referring to stamp by Nigerian immigration.

@Portsmouth86

Good morning, please did you or ur husband got any email from TLScontact (teleperformance) only stating a decision has been made just before the sheffield home office emailed you a decision made email with a VAF and a GWF reference number?

Just 2 days ago , thursday precisely, i got the belowed email from tlscontact.

SUBJUECT : TLScontact

Reference: GWFXXXXXXXXX

Dear FULL NAME,

Please note that TLScontact does not know the outcome of the assessment and has played no role in the decision-making process.

Kind regards,

Please, i am a bit confused. Just want to know if the sheffield Home office is still going to send a decision email as well because thursday was the 11week and 2 days from when we applied.
