When was your biometrics? You need to contact them

Biometric was done in January. Decision made since Feb 16th. Waiting for passport return since then. Sent several paid mails. They keep replying with that mail of experiencing delay In return of passport to nigeria/India and Co.

Good day everyone so I just got my passport now from the courier, I have a stamped visa but is it meant to come with a letter of acknowledgment or something ? Or it’s just the stamped visa

If approved, you receive just your passport with the Visa.

That is unusual. Please call. No more emails. Call and ensure you ask them why you have not received your passport.

Tomorrow makes it the 7th week after Biometrics (March 7).

Application is straight forward.

Expecting good news by God's grace.

I also think that the Russia- Ukraine issue ,is causing fluctuations in their stipulated timelines.



Ashirioluwa:


Ok but my post / comment was only about straight forward application as stated on gov.uk

90% of straight forward applications are treated within 3 weeks.

98% of straight forward applications are treated within 6 weeks.

100% are treated within 12 weeks.

Hello All, how soon can one travel after getting a visitor visa? and does the date filled in the application form as the date of travel influence this? Thank you

Doesn't matter. You can travel anytime as long as your visa is still valid. However, check the start date of your visa to be sure. The recent visa I got was post-dated

Need your advice sir/ma,
After sending paid mail this morning, the refusal letter dropped.

I am surprised at the reason the ECO gave. I used my salary account, and no other bulk deposit.

Only on two occasions last year September and February this year..100k credited from my husband and was narrated as kids expenses.

I feel cheated though ��
Please, what can I do?

So sorry about this. The ECO make mistakes as they are only human. You can reapply as soon as you are emotionally and economically ready. Address the ECO's concerns in a cover letter in your next application. Keep your account as clean as possible. Is this your first time? They are usually tough on first timers. Don't be angry. Try again. Good luck!

It’s self service, I’ve uploaded and fill the application form myself but there’s person helping me I transferred 100k still demanding for additional 30k
He said Visa feen when converted to naira is almost 79k

Yes, at black market rate. Costs about 100 Pounds for 6 months visa. Not sure what else your "agent" is paying for so you need to ask.

Yes, it is my first application. The speed is relative though. I also know some people who did biometrics on the same day and got a collection update last week. I know there are a lot people who did before me and haven't heard anything so the whole DMC thing is just unpredictable
