Gentlesoul3268:


I check the documents you submitted, did you submitted day2 and day 8 covid19 vaccine test kit? I thought that is when you are ready to travel that is needed to booked for those who are not vaccinated ?
It's just the summary showing the cost of day 2 and day 8, the reason I added it is because I included the amount to the total cost of the trip, just like the flight itinerary showing the cost of flight.

Just wait it out, you already said PA’s own is out , what’s left is for the dependents of the PA ,waiting it out is the only thing left in my opinion, it will come out . The crowd applying to the Uk these days is like times 20 of what they had before , I myself I was stunned by the crowd, they definitely have times three of their usual volume to deal with right now.

This happened to my brother and his family. He applied with his family on the 30th of August and when he didnt hear from them on the 17th of Sep which was 3weeks, he sent a paid Email and they told him it will take 15working days for them to resolve the matter. But finally, he got a mail from TLS to pick up. The Wife's mail came 30th Sep, his own came 5th Oct while the Son's own came out on the 6th. Hope this helps

Hi Guys,
Please I mistakenly selected a different country instead of UK. (Travel History).
Is it really an issue?. Though, When submitting both documents and biometrics, I drafted a cover letter fixing the error and sent it to tls.

Your cover letter should fix it , but I’d have said cancel the thing and start again which is what I did when I made an error while filing my form , I didn’t go for biometrics or anything. But your cover letter should hopefully suffice

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Daddyemma: 1:20pm On Oct 28, 2021
Hello house, pls i need your advice. I applied for UK visa in 2010 but got refused. There was an error on my surname then but i managed to use the name for biometric and submission.

Now, i have just corrected my passport to my real surname at immigration Hqts in abuja as i will be re-applying again very soon.

Please, i hope that my past surname on my old passport would not give me problem if i apply with my real surname on my new passport this time around.
Though, i have all the documents backing my change of name with me. Please house, i need your advice.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by tushqueen(f): 1:46pm On Oct 28, 2021
I want to invite my mum to the UK by applying for visitors visa, do I need to state that she has savings. She doesn't have an account number, she receives her money through my brother's bank account and does daily contributions. That is the only form of saving she does, how do I go about this. Do I need to include the savings part since I'm going to sponsor her trip fully?


Thank you
