Is it possible for a dependant to arrive the UK before the main applicant. Will there be a challenge at the POE
Also if one patent is traveling with a child ( less than 2years old) what are the likely questions he would be ask at POE and what documents does he need to show. Thanks!!! |

My TLS mail has been updated to Decision made, is it possible to check if my passport is ready for collection at VAC? Your passport should be ready for collection tomorrow morning. As soon as Decision made was thicked for me, I started going to TLS, I was at their gate when collection mail came in which was few minutes before 4pm. |

Joyeeeee: Hello Mimi, Thank you for all your efforts at answering questions on this forum. I really appreciate.
I would love to ask a few question regarding the dependant visa,
1. For the wedding and family photos, should it be hard copies (like normal picture albums) and is 10-15 okay?
2. For the emails and watsaap chat, should it be just chat/email logs or should I print the chats/emails themselves. Also, assuming I have like watsapp chats for 9months, do I print screenshots of the 9 months chats and paste in a single ms document or just print the screenshot in different documents (this will make me have too many documents to submit)
3. Is it neccesary to submit utility bills showing we have been living together? As I and my husband stay in his official residence that came with his appointment, we don't pay bills, the company pays all the bills so the bills are in the companies name. If utility bills are necessary, can I submit the companies utility bills and explain this in my cover letter?
I am applying separately from my husband, he's already in UK Hi Joyeeeee.! 1.yes hard copy of pictures on A4 sized paper, you can print multiple pictures on a page (coloured) 2. Your whatsApp chat can be printed through your email on A4 paper. |

Ray2018: I called UKVI to get an update on my application and I was told it was approved on 2nd October but I’m yet to get a mail or message on collection. My TLS portal is yet to be updated too. Has anyone experienced this situation before and what’s the best way to go about it? I had a similar issue, 2 working days after I called UKVI TLS portal was updated to decision made, I immediately left for TLS just as I was leaving with my passport, I received the pick up mail. Your passport should be ready for collection by Monday or say Tuesday |

mimilyrics: You need the following documents: Valid international passport Two passport-size photographs Application fees: minimum of (N3,500-N8, 000) it varies. Bottom line: You may have to negotiate to get the best price.
You can get your police clearance report using any of these 2 methods:
*Applying in person at the force CID, Police Criminal Registry, Alagbon, Lagos State (getting it from Nigeria). *Applying from your state through Nigeria Police Force website ( http://www.npf.gov.ng/character/index.php )
You can apply in person at the Central Criminal Registry in Lagos, the address is as follows:
Central Criminal Registry Force C.I.D. Annex Alagbon Close Ikoyi Lagos, Nigeria.
If you applied at the criminal registry in Lagos, you can get it within a day, but it could take some days if you applied at the state command office.
Since you're in Abuja, apply online or go to: Visit Zone 7 Police Command Headquarters Wuse, Abuja Nigeria.
[b]Note: If you are applying from your state command (Abuja in this case), you may have to wait between 5-7days because it will still be passed to the Criminal registry office in Lagos.

jennyhumphrey: I included an affidavit stating that I am his mother sworn at the high court, included more pictures from his birth till date( I included this in the first application but I don't know why they ignored it )addressed the reason why the birth certificate was obtained late in my additional information then included a cover letter explaining same in details, I gave example of my own birth certificate which was obtained late as the norm in the country and I also outlined how his welfare will be sorted in the UK in the cover letter. Also pray, pray and pray. All the best
If I may ask, After how many years of your child's birth is the birth certificate issued. Because I had my son May 2017 and his birth cert issued June 2018, I didn't provide additional information to this effect and we are awaiting his visa. What's your take on this please ![](/faces/huh.png) |

I got a mail few hours back from UKVI that they are treating my application but unable to complete it because they don't have my ATAS Certificate which I submitted for scanning during my biometrics @ TLS Abuja, I'm surprise they didn't see it. They provided a mail to send the Cert to which I just did. - Has anyone experienced this before -what's the implication of this on my application - will this delay my visa? Like how many days extra?

mimilyrics: As available on https://www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigration-application/refunds
Refunds You do not need to do anything to get an IHS refund - it’s automatically paid to the account or card you paid with.
You’ll get a full IHS refund if:
you paid twice your visa application is refused you withdraw your visa application
Yes I saw this on the website. But my worry is; how long will it take to get the refund? |
