Hello guys,
I’m trying to get an appointment date at TLS Ikeja and all their available dates seem to be premium…. Is there a hack or something to get regular dates or must everyone do premium now?

Hello,

Please does anyone have an idea if there are any available dates for visa appointment for tls. V.I for October or November. I want to apply for visit visa to go to the UK to go on the 21st of December (if possible). I am yet to complete my application but I would like to know whether I should bother applying for this year or put my dates for next year to allow for enough time.

Basically, if I apply now, and I don't get feedback by the date I intend to travel. Will I be refused if the dates have passed or I can still be granted if I satisfy all their requirements.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by carnivorouschic(f): 11:14am On Oct 05
What available dates are you seeing for TLS Ikeja.

I want to apply to TLS VI but I don't know if I should adjust my visit date because I want to go from 21st December but I don't know if it's too close or whether I should adjust my date for next year instead.

If you chose self service, go ahead and upload your documents. The same thing happened to me during my application but in my own case TLS already sent me payment confirmation, but my appointment time and date was still showing "Not set yet", and it was like that till i got my visa. Here's what i did;
Log on to "selfupload.visas-uk.tlscontact.com", but before then make sure you're logged in to your TLS account, if not it won't work. Open another tab in the same browser for this "selfupload.visas-uk.tlscontact.com", different from your TLS account tab which must still be open.

When the site loads, it will show your GWF number on the top right side of the page, then you can go ahead and upload all your documents. Note that you can only upload all relevant documents once, you can't come back to delete or add any other document after you have uploaded and left the page, so put all the documents you want to upload in a folder before you start.

Below is a screenshot of what my TLS page showed before i followed those steps

Thank you so much for responding.
This is the exact view on my dashboard.
I will just wait for my appointment confirmation email so I can attend my appointment.

My 6 months UK tourist visa expires in November

I wanna travel in December for Christmas

Please how do I renew my visa ?

My bank statement for the last 6 months doesn’t show salary credits anymore

I stopped paying myself salary in June when I got my visa. I didn’t know I would want to travel again in December

Please advise

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by NPK1: 12:37pm On Oct 06
I've been a silent reader but I learned a lot from this thread and wanted to pay it forward.

I applied for a visa to visit my sibling for 2 weeks.

Submission date: September 5th
Biometrics: September 11th
Collection email: October 2nd

I got an email when tls sent my application to DMC, but didn't get any email from UKVI about receiving my application or that a decision had been made. It took exactly 15 working days. The visa was granted.

I submitted these documents:
Cover letter
Payslips
Salary account bank statement
Savings account bank statement
Employment and promotion letters
Sibling's BRP and passport
Sibling's tenancy agreement
Chats to explain that inflow into my accounts were loan repayments
Copies of US and Canadian visas (both valid but unused)
Travel stamps for previous trips to India and Cote D'Ivoire

My bank statements were not very clean. I had some credits which were loan repayments from friends and family. I was a bit concerned about this but decided to submit anyway. I budgeted 1,000 pounds in the application form (no accommodation) and included a comment in my cover letter that it was a very conservative estimate but I have the ability to flex to 2,000 pounds if required.

In hindsight, my application was probably not so straightforward, but I think the fact that I work in a reputable international organization and possess US and Canadian visas may have helped. My bank statements also demonstrated monthly salary payments and transfers to my savings account.

I hope this helps someone!

This sums it up.

People get bounced for some trivial excuses based on bank accounts.

They looked at it that USA and Canada found you worthy, hence they too can, cos your previous travels to the Ivory Coast and India didn't count, as both are not A list countries

I think this is for a Schengen visa application. This thread isn't the right place.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by MelaninGemstone(f): 4:06pm On Oct 06
I just submitted my visa application
This is a renewal
I have also paid, so I can’t edit the form again

I just noticed that the address I filled on my application form and the address on my bank statement differs

I moved into a new apartment last month, so I filled that address on my form

But my bank account still carries my former address

Would this pose a problem?

Would a cover letter explaining the situation solve this or I should go to the bank and update my address and reprint my account statement (long process and extra costs 😢)

Please advise

It doesn't matter. This has happened to me before and I didn't have any issues.

In your form , you will be asked where you lived earlier. As long as you declared that address, I don't see any issue.

I hope this helps.

A family application, can it be considered as group?

I just stated it is not part of any group in answering the question, even though all our forms are linked in which passports details of each family member are stated in every application
