Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! The Lord has graduated another student from the school of nairaland.
I was here weeks/months ago, heartbroken about the court verdict in Nigeria on local government issued marriage certificate. I asked the house on their opinions and @justwise advised I push ahead with the application.
A big thank you to the house, everyone who contributed years ago to date. @justwise thank you so much. To all new and waiting students, study the manuals and do your best to submit as much documents as you can.

Type of Application: Settlement wife (Priority)
Online application submitted: 31st October
Biometric: 9th November
Email confirmation of support documents received: NONE
Decision made: 7th November
Collection email: 7th November
Courier delivery: 8th November
Picked up: 8th November

It took exactly 1month from my biometric. We are super excited as newly weds (last year) that have been separate since the wedding and hubby returned to UK.
If you can afford PRIORITY please do. It saves time and sleepless nights.
Time to go warm up hubby from the extreme cold in UK.

Congratulations......
Are you sure you have enough body warmth to counter that cold uk?

NB: Remember to pay your 30% tithe....

foxyvisa:


I have gathered warmth for over a year ooooo. It will be excess sef.
30% is too small for this victory.

justwise:


Congratulations!

Still wouldn't advice anybody to exclude evidence of communication..call log, whatsapp, Facebook etc.

godman100:


Thanks.

I absolutely agree with you that people should not exclude WhatsApp or Facebook messages if available. It's better to be on the safe side and send them even if not required. They can't reject anyone for sending too many documents abi? Worst case, you've wasted paper printing the messages.

My warning is more towards those that may rely primarily on WhatsApp messages as evidence of relationship and don't send many photos or phone records. If these messages is not used in their consideration as my friend advised then that could result in a refusal.

Welcome Mr Lamakinde.....weve been expecting you. Have you received your supporting documents back yet?

So sorry for the refusal Ronvlaar. Please post the reasons here so we can put heads together and hopefully find a way out. Praying for you .

ronvlaar:
We have considered your application under paragraph EC-P 1.1 of Appendix FM. However, you do not qualify for entry clearance under the 5-year partner route for the following reasons: (one only reason tho)

Eligibility Financial Requirement
You do not meet the eligibility financial requirement of paragraphs E-ECP 3.1 to 3.4

You have stated you intend to meet this requirement through salaried employment with your sponsor having worked for her current employer for less than 6month. I note you have submitted evidence of her previous employer (Bleep). However if you are using employment with a company for less than 6months, you're required to submit 12months wage slips and bank statements, so we can confirm your sponsor total income is sufficient over the last year.

I note you submitted the following evidences:
Employment letter: Provided confirming salary and start date of July'16 for Bleep and also yyy May '17

Wage slips: Provided for both employments Bleep 19/08/2016 - 20/03/2017 and yyy 31/05/17 - 30/07/2017

Bank statements confirming salary submitted for the period Dec '16 - July '17

Therefore I'm unable to be satisfied you have submitted all of the required evidence to meet this rule.

Right of appeal
You have 28days from the date you receive this decision to appeal.


Meanwhile, we stated clearly we're using both salaried employment plus savings to meet the financial requirement and all evidences were submitted but its very obvious the savings part was neglected and ignored. She had over £25k in her savings for well over a year before we applied.
Job Bleep was paying £17,500 and she stopped in May, got job yyy paying £19,800 till August when we applied. Got another job (present one) paying £19,000.
What I don't get is why the case officer totally ignored the savings part.

Decision was made Nov 17, can u imagine that

Please is Local Government issued Marriage certificate still valid? We had our wedding at our local government marriage registry. I came across this here and on the internet. I am now beginning to worry. Please are there people in the house who submitted their local government marriage certificate. BIKO!

GodandVal:


Thanks Oga Justwise, you and everyone in this house did it for me! If not for Nairaland, I would not have seen my error... God bless you
