Goodluck to everyone still waiting for decision as well as others that are preparing to apply

During our application, I wrote our GWF number on everything...as in, everything. I just didn't want to take chances. Even the box we used to post had the GWF..

profemebee:
normal....

pls help with the questions "Also, do i need to write my GWF number on the front page of the online application letter? do i need to write my full names and sign behind the passport pictures? am i attaching it to the front page of the online form where there is a space for passport picture or i just add the passport pictures in the royal mail envelope?"

thanks.

Yes I was the sponsor.. similar

profemebee:

Thanks for the update... no it isn't late.. submitting thursday max..

I assume you're the sponsor in this case? the British citizen yeah.. so its same scenario with u having dual citizenship..

ahhhhh @verifying stamped passport pages were genuine.. nawa..

I will go for cover pages and plastic sleeves separating each section inside the royal mail boxed special delivery..

I hope this isn't coning late.

For my wedding, I used my Nigerian passport to enter and exit Nigeria, so I printed out boarding pass and copied my Nigeria stamped passport pages and had the post office verify that it was genuine..

Our documents were large so I arranged them in the right order with cover pages and plastic sleeve separating each sections. Didnt bind or staple any thing

Though the documents was more than 2 kg, I still sent through royal mail boxed special delivery

profemebee:
Sir Lex.. Oga Justwise and my able wise ones

Please i have a question.. want to send my docs to Sheffield on thursday, the 30th of May, 2019...

However, i need to confirm something..

My wife (sponsor) used her Nigerian passport to fly down here in oct2018 for our wedding so her green passport has the entry/exit stamp.

Her British passport has other entry/exit stamps of trips we've been to..

Is it okay to show the entry/exit stamp on her Nigerian passport as part of supporting docs to show she came to naija for the wedding?

NOTE: The online form already asked if she has dual nationality, and i replied Yes to that..

Thanks for anticipated response

Congratulations
