Same here...I have done my biometrics since Nov 2, gotten the decision mail since 16 days ago. Has your status changed? What are you doing about it?

Prettiyruth:
This is where I am too

I’m tired of writing UKVI

They even sent an apology mail from Sheffield. Have you been able to contact TLS?

I also sent you a mail

Greetings ALL,

Thanks.

Naso. We gather dey

My wife is the one going for study ( applicant) and am the defendant. I want to know if she can use my bank statement as proof of funds because I am the one funding her studies or the money has to be in her account.
Thanks

advanceDNA:


Yeah...after marrying her....she will return.
.then u can appy for visa to join her as partner....it can take a while shaaa....may be 3 to 4 months

thanks once again boss, she's a nurse, she said she can get me a carer job in her hospital, can she process work visa for me, abeg I'm just asking to be able to make informed decisions.

please, how do i respond to this as Sponsor will get accomodation when we arrive.
Also, both parents applied too.
Should we book an airbnb and support with statement saying we will stay there until employer sorts accomodation as we had already submitted POF

Can this affect other family members application?

advanceDNA:


Entry clearance officer wey get confirmed witchcraft don enter your matter.....

Since you gave your employer's address, which is probably an office address......

the bastárd ECO probably wants you to show proof your employer has provided a standard sized family apartment that can accomodate you, your spouse and especially your minor....

Hello all.

I’m applying for a UK visit visa and I need help please. I have been previously refused. I work with a UK university and they’re fully sponsoring my trip from Nigeria.
The question *How much money are you personally planning to spend on your visit to the UK* Does this refer to my own money from my savings in my bank statement or it refers to the Total cost of the trip which my employer is covering.
I won’t be spending anything on this trip as it is fully sponsored so I am not sure what to state here. Please someone should help me. This thing keeps me up at night

Please which hotel can i put in my application that is close to tourists attractions and relatively cheap. The ones i see online are high and it not making the amount i put in the total expenses for the trip in my application realistic.

Thanks

Hello everyone.
Please kindly advise.
I cancelled my application a day to my biometrics due to an error on the form (spouse DOB) which i shouldn't have done. I went for my biometrics and got a mail it has been sent to DMC. Meanwhile, I didn't get any mail as regards the success of the cancellation request, I reached out to UKVI but they said I can change my request not to cancel anymore. I later got a mail that I cannot get a refund as I have provided my biometrics and my application is in progress. I thought everything is fine but I think I am wrong as I got another mail saying that since I made a request for refund, my application is now voided. Please what can I do?

Go to Booking.com, you can confirm your hotel booking there without paying any kobo. But make sure to cancel your it as soon as you get a decision on your visa. You will chose pay at the property.

there’s nothing wrong with using your employer’s address on your form, if you check on the skilled worker thread this is the norm. Also ur employer is your primary address in the UK, so that’s not a problem.
I really do hope that both parents applied and that the ECO is aware. They only ask for evidence of care arrangements when only one parent applies. In such cases, it is assumed that as the parent will be working or studying the child will suffer unduely in care and provision and want u to show how u have catered for that before granting the child visa.

Has anyone ever witness this

UKvi is giving me BP
Bio 23rd
Priority
No email
No nsf
No decision made …

I'm looking to obtain an online certificate for caregivers that will be recognised in the UK. My plan is to leverage it in application for caregiver Jobs in the UK. Please can someone recommend a recognised caregiver online certification course for me?

Pls this is what I got in my email this afternoon

u have to research as well.. the little I know is showing school arrangements, after school clubs or after school activities or clubs or nanny arrangements . they want to be sure the kids will not be left alone as you school or work .. check the student thread, you will have to sieve it out as I think someone mentioned she sent emails to schools and got replies and simply attached those emails back to her application… I can’t really remember the exact circumstances

Send a mail back to them requesting for a refund. It might be hard since it stated refund happens only when you haven’t done biometrics.

Same thing happened to me but I didn’t still go, I later got a refund without getting a mail from them. Even TLS was reminding me that my application was on the canceled date.

Thank you.

Please house, I had my biometrics on Nov 2nd, a NSF mail after and got a BRP mail on the 23rd of Nov. I have been waiting since then for a collection mail. I have spent money on the paid call and paid mail but the closest thing to a positive reply is the Sheffield escalation teams response. That was Monday, till now, nothing. I am thinking of going to check at TLS myself. Does the house think this is a good idea?

No refund since you have done biometrics

For both IHS and Visa fee?

Ashirioluwa:

slimdollar:

I believe the IHS fee will be refunded. Regarding the application fee, you might want to get in touch with them via the UKVI contact and let them know you need a refund because you have canceled your application.
