Please has anyone ever gotten a message like this and got their visa approved? I am trying to understand something.



Dear xxxxx

Thank you for your visa/entry clearance application which has been received and is under consideration. We aim to process non settlement applications within 15 working days and settlement applications within 60 working days (unless you have opted for a Priority Visa service).

We are unable to resolve your application within these customer service targets, due to operational restrictions. Please be assured that we will continue to progress your application to enable a decision to be made as soon as possible.

I got it and the visa was refused. Someone I know too got it and it was refused

TLS is a private entity. Private establishments are going about their business. Banks opened today, Kids went to school etc. So the strike should not affect your appointment.

That appointment is not what you want to miss else it means paying another fee i believe.. Set out tomorrow head there and see what happens.

URGENT: Please I have a UK biometric appointment by tomorrow, will the strike affect my appointment?

Hello bro. A favor please. What are the mandatory docs you have to go with to tls after doing the upload. Thanks [quote author=codeb post=128452886]Good day All,

What kind of fear mongering is this

Both ppl who got the visas denied and those who eventually succeeded will always have that message. That's a standard computer generated message sent to everyone who does biometrics from the various decision making centres telling you that the passport is now with the DMC.

Don't pay attention to what the previous guy who mentioned you said. Don't go and be contemplating bodily harm in one corner. This is a standard msg generated by AI and sent to every individual who does biometrics.

There are two types of messages sent by UKVI. This one I quoted and another one which I will share in my next post. I've noticed that anyone who receives the email below does not get the visa. If you received the visa after getting this email, please let us know. Right now, it seems the majority of people who receive this email do not get issued the visa

This is the second type of email sent by UKVI after your biometrics. I have noticed that anyone who gets the below email receives the visa

Not true. I first got this immediately after her biometrics. Then I got the second type of letter talking about the non straightforward application and that it might take longer time to decide which was a day before I got the refusal email.

God bless you.
Thank you so much

Why do y'all assume Giselle is female? Just want you to know that Giselle is never wrong. This has been entertaining to say the least

Off the mic 🤫🤫🤫 nah we know the gender wey shim be nah.... Remember him and @Leef matter that year... Our two senior doctor's 😂😂

About 3 weeks please.

Cashmadam:


How long do you intend to stay in the UK? That will determine how much you need as POF

My point is has anyone who got the email stating the application might take longer time etc etc...... gotten their visa approved?? No one has come to say they have. I am trying to say once this type of email is sent the person dose not get the visa.

This is not true. Two personal friends got that type of email in 2022 and still had their visas with that of their families approved. I think it is called non-straight forward mail or something.

.

Exactly! Fact is one cannot categorically know the decision until the visa is out. Each individual case is different. All that permutation people do doesn't always work.

Good day all, please I need your advice. Myself and my siblings, all four of us, intend to sponsor our mum’s trip to the UK. In filling out the form, we have stated our names as the sponsors. Should we all submit our bank statements, or should we transfer the funds to our mum’s account before submitting the visa application?

The immigration officials usually query large sums been transferred to a persons account. Even with cover letter, and explanations people have given, they still bounce them. I've read a few of those accounts here. Maybe an oversight from the immigration officers path.

My advice - all 4 of you submit your bank statements, Let your mum put a cover letter mentioning she is coming for holiday to see her 4 children who are her sponsors and they would be responsible for her upkeep and all other travel arrangements. She should even include the itinerary of how long she plans to stay with each child. Example 2 weeks with lagbaja, 3 weeks with Tamedo, etc (I'm sure you and your siblings have cute names. Don't mind my example . You get the drift though) . Including the itinerary shows its a well thought out holiday. No information is too much when it comes to these immigration guys...

Birth certificate from all four of you siblings should be included as well, to show proof she's your mum. Most importantly - i hope she has enough evidence to show strong ties to home. With 4 kids abroad, the immigration officer might be inclined to think she wants to japa! If she has ties show evidence of that. Businesses back home, assets, family - husband, partner, aged parents shes caring for etc.

You all are the sponsors so all of you will submit your financial statements showing your individual proof of funds. If your mum is fully sponsored, her account statement is not even required but can still be submitted to prove whatever was stated as her personal financial position. Also, I will advice you submit payslips to show that the inflows and funds in those accounts are from legitatimate income source. Also, attach something like birth certificates for each of you to prove relationship with your mother. My advice.

thank you so much, all 4 kids are here. I get the point. Thank you so much

Four sponsors for what exactly? You will cause unnecessary confusion! Three people should transfer their contribution to the fourth person and then the fourth person will act as the sponsor. Count six months from the day after the money was transfered. Don't transfer money to your Mum's account

Good day folks, please how can I show proof of funds for my uk tourist visa and what documents would I need?I am a salary earner I earn 1.2m monthly and it's individual tax clearance compulsory? and what my chance of getting visa I have no travel history but I am married plus kid........ looking forward for answers

1. POF - Savings or Current account. Fixed deposit. Treasury Bills. Money Market Funds. Bonds etc

2. Statements of account, proof of employment, documents for assets etc

3. Tax clearance not compulsory. Your payslip will show how much tax you pay monthly..

4. Nobody can predict the outcome of your application. Apply, pray and hope for the best

5. Travel history really helps but it is not compulsory

Hello guys!
I need help urgently.
I want to invite my mum and my brother to the uk for my graduation.
However, I have put in an application for them but I’m not confident about it. Today is their biometrics which I’m thinking of cancelling.
In the current application, my mum is self employed, she has a business but she has been using her personal account to run her business and her CAC is inactive. I added receipts from her business, landed properties, receipt from tenants, and My dad is supposed to sponsor my dad’s trip.
Please advice me on what to do as I’m at crossroads now.

And your brother?
Your mother may/might scale through but if your brother’s circumstances are such that you still need to fully sponsor this trip, I would cancel

You're welcome. Why the need for 4 sponsors though if I might ask? Technically there's no limit to the number of sponsors that can be used. But you also dont want to overcomplicate the process. I had previously advised someone who posted from Nigeria saying her mum and dad wanted to sponsor her that she should only stick to one sponsor (I had a bit of bias as to your case when you said all 4 of you siblings were in the UK).

Any 2 of you whose accounts are the most buoyant with enough funds to show support?

thank you so much, all 4 kids are here. I get the point. Thank you so much

@giselle237

Hello,
You said she is self employed and earns 11 million annually and in prior post you say again she is a petty trader… that is massive… reason for coming… you said is to attend daughter in law’s graduation… hmm
ECO also mentioned several unexplained deposits and no evidence of home ties..
which of the above have your rectified as you say you have to reapply now? On what basis would the reapplication be based on pls?

I am not sure I understand. My dad is sponsoring my brother’s trip financially.

how old is your brother? Doe he earn a living? If today is their biometrics day, I am unsure of what kind of advice you are hoping to get.
Let us know and we can see how to help
