Good afternoon NL family, I’m not new to NL but new to this thread. I have learnt so much from my silent reading. You guys are doing a good job sharing experiences here and there for others coming behind to be well informed. Kudos guys. I am also an applicant for the Tourist visa. I did my biometrics on the 21st of March. I still need to wait right? And please when do i send a “paid email” like the others are doing and how do i go about it.? Thanks guys

This is the latest update (8 April 2022)
UKVI is prioritising Ukraine Family Scheme applications in response to the invasion of Ukraine, and so applications for family, study and work visas may take longer to process.

* The processing time for standard visa is now 6 weeks as shown on their website

Hello house, I did my biometric since March 11th, no response yet. Sent a paid mail on Tuesday, I got a reply that a decision has been made but no response from tls yet . Any applicant from March 11th here ?

Two of my friends submitted on March 9 & 10 respectively. They have not gotten any response yet. They didn’t bother sending a paid mail since there is an average wait time of 6 weeks on UKVI website

Theacefarm:



Congrats ,,,,, did you get a mail for pickup,,,, or do you opt for the dhl delivery plan,,, or did you go to tls to pickup after you get mail that a decision has been made but you need to wait 10days ,,,, kindly share your experience as regards getting your passport back with us

Sorry for seeing this late. I filled the form for DHL services at the VAC.

Hello, everyone. I intend booking Air France for my parents. Would they need a transit visa for the connecting flight, since they'll be in the airport in Paris? If yes, how do I go about it? I was on the website of the airline, couldn't get much out of it. Please help, thanks

Mine was done early Feb, sent paid mail and the response was same as yours. It’s really frustrating waiting to hear from TLS. I guess we have to keep waiting…

Yes they do. Lost almost 2 thousand pounds to Lufthansa because of this and they have refused to refund. They said it’s non refundable. Booked it for my husband when he was coming and didn’t know he would need a transit visa, only to be turned back at the airport.

I have used Lufthansa in the past without transit visa so I thought my husband could use it when he was coming. I guess I didn’t need one was because Of my British passport. That money still dey pain till now.

Hello,

Can I go to the DHL office to pick my mum’s passport? TSL has handed her docs to them and when I tracked it says it will be delivered on the 19th. That date is too far. Is there a way to go to DHL and pick it up?

ikaonigent:

I am not saying that is a MUST but I believe it will be better to include it to show his own financial position.

Note: This is just my own personal opinion.

No worries. It’s been delivered. Visa granted.

if the company has sponsored others for conferences it has to be stated in the letter
Also what purpose the conference will serve the company as a whole and him as an individual

Sorry about that. I think it's a new development.

Yes the company will be sponsoring him fully and i think it will be stated in the company letter of introduction that they will be sponsoring the trip fully and they wil also give travel allowance.

Hi,

please i'm filling the visit visa form for myself and kids , how do i apply? when i applied some years back i applied using one account . on this new platform im not seeing add another applicant, urgently need help on how to go about it, i'm not done filling my form though.

I did biometrics on the 31th or March.
They said i will get a response within 2 weeks. today is the second week and no response or email yet.
I read were they said that people got rejected because the cac registration status of the company is inactive.
i checked mine yesterday and saw the same status"inactive"
I hope this will not be a red flag or avenue for refusal

did the applicant write down an itinerary of what they will be doing day to day in terms of tourism for the 13 days? did they say anything about why they have decided to visit the UK at this time and what they are looking forward to?
