Good day house ,pls want to ask a quick question, a decision on my application was overturned and was asked to return my passport which i did going to a week now, my question is does anyone know the time frame i will be asked to come pick it up? Thanks in advance.

vikaosi:
The month of June started with UK Visa for me.

Submission of Application: May 8
Biometrics at TLS VI. : May 11
Application Transferred to VAC: May 31
Passport with Visa Collected: June 1

Note: Some people raised concerns that I didn't do any test of English and that the test is compulsory. I didn't take the test. I guess it's not required.

I wish those expecting theirs success.

Good evening house. Please who did their biometrics in june? I got a mail stating that my application is being prepared to be considered by an Entry clearance officer on the 28th of july. Who else got this?

Ladynonsoo:


Wat type of visa? Congratulations ??

Eastner:

I did mine in June & also received a similar mail on the same date. It’s for spousal visa…It appears the others who receive theirs early are, as dependents for study or work visa. They won’t need to write IELTS as dependents, I suppose.

Ladynonsoo:


Oh wow ok!! I have so many questions dunno where to start. What does the uk consider “suitable accomodation” in the uk? @Eastner

Ladynonsoo:


Congratulations!! Was it a spousal visa? And how come u didnt do ielts and didnt pay ihs surcharge fee?wow

Ray7878:


Because they are dependent visas via work. With spouse/settlement you do have to pay IHS and do IELTS.

stanaik2000:
Hello everyone, please Is there anyone that applied for spouse visa and re-appealed, and the appealed was allowed, the UKVI contacted me to submit my passport and also do another Tuberculosis test, that the decision was overturn. So I submitted both passport and Tb test on the 31st of May,2022. But up till now, I am yet to get feedback from them. Do anyone have an idea how long it takes for them to respond? I was at Tls contact some days ago and I was told to keep checking my email… but it’s frustrating… will be glad if anyone can assist. Thanks.

Could you please provide the questions that were asked at your interview? Thank you

eziezi90:
Thanks so much.

Started with normal confirmation of bio questions

- When did you meet?

- What was your first date like?

- Where does your partner work? Job title? When was she employed? How much does she earn?
Oh, yes it does… very much, thank you.
- Why have you not met all these years?

- Do you want to continue your Nigerian career path here in UK?

I said I was more interested in settling with my family as the distance is hurting our son and our ability to grow the family, and I know the fiancé visa doesn't allow me work.

- Do you have any other child? Does she have any other child? (No responses)

- have you ever been married? (No responses)

They asked my fiancé very similar questions.

Hope this helps ��
