Hi justwise,pls is this Spouse visa a residence permit like a permanent resident. The reason I am asking is because I was filling a form and was asked if I have a residence in another country. I said No and later was confused on the answer. Pls see the attached and kindly assist with the question. Thank you

it is a residence permit but not a permanent one if that makes sense. Resident permits are usually given for stays longer than 6 months e.g Students also have residence permits .You will only qualify for permanent residency after a number of years and meeting the conditions set for you.Hope that helps.

missgirl:


Thank you sooo much. I am absolutely excited

Congratulations!...It was a long wait but worth it

No not at all , I think once you have the TB certificate you should be fine.

Did you have to register with the police 7 days after your arrival?

Lilydexter:
Hello House,
Anyone here who did their biometrics on the 27th of September?
I didn't mine on the 27th of September at TLS ikeja and I'm yet to get a response .
I tried to track it and it has been stuck at “DMC” for weeks now. I made a paid call and the lady said she has escalated and gave me a reference number to hold on to, when next I call, if the issue isn't resolved.
Has anyone had similar issue?
Is there anyone who did biometrics at Tls Ikeja on 27th of September yet to receive a collection mail?

Just take your mind off it completely and focus on other things.It takes about 12weeks but its possible you get it before then.

Last I checked super priority was available.
Ofcourse your partner in the UK can make payments[/quote

Priority or Super Priority isnt available in Nigeria..Only Standard application which takes maximum 12 weeks

Congratulations to everyone that have received theirs monchat, Dan45 and many more to come .it will surely come, be positive and pray about it, our God will do it . I did my biometrics in Abuja
Sorry for not replying immediately,

Vatican boy. I flew British Airways on Thursday, and I have a British Airways voucher worth $669
my brother bought BA one way ticket to surprise me , and I bought another not knowing that he already bought for me. Now the don't do refund so I can easily transfer the ticket to another person for a discounted amount or use it some other time .

Please those that are yet to travel you can ask me questions on covid, what you need to buy and customs, immigration etc .

Please do yourself the favour, buy thick Jacks and cardigan, wool hat, thick scarf, plenty underwear, (boxers & singles), thick Joggers for staying indoors thick stockings too. This is my first winter here , so the thing they shock me sef. Don't bother to bring all your Nija cloths , just pick what you will wear during summer. Your fine cloths can't stand this present weather.

1. You will need to show that white paper that came in through mail( or came with your passport as the case may be ) at the immigration. So keep it close.

2. Book and pay for your day 2 covid test if you are fully vaccinated. Print out the payment details and keep it with your passport.

3. Your vacation certificate , print and hold it and carry that vaccination card they gave you at the hospital you got vaccinated.

4. Fill your passenger location form and print and hold it with your passport. ( search for it on the UK.gov site . )

5 when you arrive go through declarations in customs . If you have food stuff, go to the the part that says (if you have Goods to declare this way ) this will save you time . Because people like you with food stuff will say they don't hav things to declare and so search is been carried out most times, but on this other route only you or few persons are there and they most likely won't check , they will just ask verbally . I hope this help someone.

Forgive all typos .

Thank you so much for the feedback..Did they ask to see your TB certificate?

vaticanboy:
As I collect my passport finished ,to stay for Nigeria small come dey sweet me. No be juju be that?. Lol

Its not,same way i feel...im not in a hurry tbh...its just to see my wife thats all.
My tb test expires Nov 26..dont know if ill need to renew if im entering after the 26th.

monchat:


Lol!!!! What am I waiting for oooo. Abeg make I go grab my passport hold for hand before another story go enter.

But this letter that we received, normally it surpose to be in our passport right?? Because I was surprised to see it.

Lol abi..Yes its supposed to be in your passport when you collect it.At least they saved us the stress of trying to figure out whether its a yes or no lol.
No panic to pick up lol

monchat:


The time for collection is 9am right at Ikeja?

Yes from 9am..I'm sure you would be one of the first people there lol

stefanimay:


12th in abuja

Okay you should get it at the latest before end of next week..Could be before that.

monchat:


Honestly, so happy about the letter that was sent. It gave me joy and courage to go pick my passport. at least no suspense.

As in..can only imagine if its a refusal that would have been difficult to receive by email before you've seen your passport.Wasnt expecting an email with approval letter..Was really suprised.

stefanimay:



This wait is killing me o..

When did you do your biometrics?

monchat:
TLS has just sent me a message that my passport is ready for collection. All the red colors in my tracker have changed to green except the passport collection is still showing red. The mobile app buttons is now green.

I received the mail as well..I'll go tomorrow...There is no suspense again since I know the outcome already.

missgirl:


Congratulations. It came from Abuja? Did you do your bio in Lagos or Abuja please?

Ikeja,Lagos..They probably moved some applications to Abuja to process.Thats why they sent a mail instead of a letter since they arent with the passport like i mentioned yesterday.

monchat:


I just got mine now. so happy ooooo. Thank you Jesus!!!

congratulations..we would probably be able to pick up the passport tomorrow.when the app says received by VAC

Adewumi2888:



Congratulations...... It's good news

Yes I know,Thank you...I dont mind collecting my passport next week lol

monchat:

There is definitely a delay with Lagos applications.

monchat:

monchat:
Honestly I am not finding this wait funny again, I am getting worried. Today is the 60WD. Why the delay

When did you do your biometrics?

Googledrive12:
Hello guys I picked up my Visa. Glory to God ..
Details later.

Congratulations! ! What date did you do your biometrics and was it Lagos or Abuja?

missgirl:



Oooh this makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

You're welcome...There is no point spending money calling or mailing them.They clearly state that it takes about 12weeks and mine isnt up to 12wks yet..Friday would make it 12weeks.If it isnt ready by then they would send an email to say the process is taking longer than 12 weeks.

missgirl:


I don't think it's with BHC. I think it's with UKvI in either their Sheffield office or another office in the UK.

Have you tried emailing or calling?

The Passport stays with British High Commission in your country of application i.e Lagos or Abuja..If the visa is approved .The sheffield office gives instruction for the visa to be printed and attached to the passport.Lagos has a higher number of application than Abuja so thats why I said British high commission in Lagos is probably really busy considering they also have to process some other categories of Visa which doesnt go to Sheffield.

missgirl:


Did 10th in Lagos. I have only seen Abuja people getting it. Praying for good news soon

Thought same as well...Looks like the British High commission in Lagos is busier than Abuja.

Hello,who else did biometrics between 6th and 10th August and still waiting for a response?

vaticanboy:
3months

Oh nice..its better instead of the previous one where people try and up and leave within 30 days

vaticanboy:
. Thanks for checking on me Dan. It's a yes ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

You're welcome...Big Congratulations! Was it 30 days or 3 months they gave you?

[b][/b][i][/i]

vaticanboy:
. I wish to go to TLS office tomorrow for the visa collection. Does it mean that its not yet with them?

Tls
