Get your wife to send a self addressed envelope (next day delivery), and a letter explaining her mistake, and also include a telephone number, incase they need to contact her.

Hi guys,Justwise

I hope everyone is well .I munched this from a page to use as guidance .Can someone please tell me what she means by a cover letter? I haven't seen this in other people's documents they listed.

Also, I have a child with my husband (British citizen so not applying for settlement) but on the form there is no space asking about it .Am I expected to mention it and if yes, how? Please help,I believe this is relevant information and I don't want to be penalized for not disclosing relevant information .

Realgeo:


Lexusgs430 pls can u confirm for me the exact address to post documents as i ve tried to fine it in this Tread but can't locate it anymore. Don't want to post it to the wrong place. Thanks

hi all,


This this thread is amazing and a God send. God bless all of you who have contributed with answers and advice. Thank you all.

My husband had his biometric enrolment on the 14th Feb 2017, I sent the documents by Special delivery and they were received and collected on the 21st Feb. Now they said we have 2 weeks to send our supporting documents, but on the 28th Feb, hubby received an email stating they had not received our supporting documents. My body instantly got hot and I started worrying. I am not sure what to do other than pray, the UKVI phone people were not very helpful as they have no role or access to contacting Sheffield.


I am not really sure what to do. any advice has this happened to anyone before?

Lexusgs430:


Prayer ke? This matter pass prayer oooo......... Where did you send documentations to?

It seems a common trend of applicants sending documents to the wrong place.

What you do to remedy is - :
(1) Send SAE paid (next day delivery) to the wrong address you sent it to (with your application reference, contact telephone number + a brief letter)
(2) Send Vulture house an email explaining your error, and remedies taken and plead for more time for redirection (not unless you have an extra £1200 in your back pocket, for another application)
(3) In your letter to the wrong address, request either a telephone call or email, the moment redirection is effected (plead and beg for this, for your peace of mind)......

lollipop422:


But it can't have gone to the wrong place. I sent to yo the place the VAC and TSL contact said we should send the application. Could they have provided the wrong address? The email is automated which makes me think perhaps they haven't been able to process the documents into their system. I will write a letter and do what you said though. It's just frustrating.

Lexusgs430:


Have you requested vulture house to confirm receipt?

Davdar:

Dear PKBXI,
Please can you post the questions after your hearing because you will go before me. Wishing you all the best and good luck,

Lexusgs430:


I hope all your documentations are supercharged?

PKBXI:


The only thing the tribunals require is evidence that I own a property which from the rental income I receive, I pay tax on

so basically all they need is Land registry loop that I own a property and self assessment forms from my accountant or HMRC that I pay tax on the rental income I receive. I can easily obtain this from the council and HMRC/Accountant because that is all they require at the hearings. The rest they are satisfied on.

However what is sad is that the document was stamped on May 2016, and its taken nearly a year for it to come to our house. Even the UK did not know the time frame because all the documents were sat in INDIA!

Good day everyone. I have been a silent follower of this thread, pls permit me to ask some questions or provide links if already answered. I have read and read and can't find any applicable to me:
My husband is British and so are our kids.
We plan on relocating to the UK hence the spousal.
How do I meet the financial requirement if my spouse lives here in Nigeria with me without having £62,500? The £18,600 naira equivalent does it have to be in the sponsor's account for 6 months prior to application?
Pls help me, this is the hurdle.

Lexusgs430:


The £62,500 is savings you have, if you do not have such savings, sweating in your bank account or hiding in the soakaway, forget this option..........
The £18,600 means the sponsor needs to be resident in the uk, paying his taxes in the uk & gainfully employed in the UK.
For this application to progress, the sponsor needs to relocate to the UK and start working towards accumulating all the pre-requisites, required for a successful application.
For any additional child £18,600 + £2400 + £2400 etc etc must be the sponsors earning strength........ . .... .

desproof:
Sorry, so you mean a British citizen working overseas cannot relocate himself and his family to the Uk?

@justwise @pmaakino @benz101 @darcy16
- 37.5 hours work per week, is deemed full time employment within the NHS framework
- 6 months payslips + bank statement + other financial prerequisites (not forgetting the 28 day rule)
- Arrive in the uk for summer? Remember he starts work next week, fast forward 6 months. Did you mean winter?

Lexusgs430:


Leeds to London is almost 170 miles driving, cost by train would be in the region of £120 return daily. Work out the cost and distance, and would such transportation expenses reflect on his bank statements ?

Why does he not want to use his present accommodation ?

Lexusgs430:


If your kids are British, the £2,400 requirement per child is not required.

Good evening House!

I just want to say, you guys are God sent! Your comments here have helped a lot of people including myself and my spouse. Oga Lexus I hail ooh!!
I am one of them silent followers.
So my wife and I got married in 2015 . I did the "return to naija" thinking naija was the place to come to in 2013, oh boi it is a hard place all those uncles who promised you big jobs and connections omo no one helped. only person that helped was for nysc.

After getting married in 2015 and a baby on the way, I decided to move back to the UK, I got a Job and earning good money 45k and above. Unlike the miserable N100,000 naira per month in naija, lol 2 nites in sip pay. So my wife came to visit in 2016 she gave birth to my child at a hospital we didnt pay nhs nothing and we were not charged. my wife and child moved back to naija

So that birth thing made me afraid that they would refuse my wife spousal visa as per nhs treatment on visiting visa but speaking to people they encouraged us to put in for the application as both my child and myself are british and nhs no charge us. I ticked all the financial criteria plus all the other criteria's

I attached photos, ticket print outs, our dubai holiday photo's and tickets with our baby, bank statement pay slips etc

Lexusgs430:
Been listening to LBC & BBC, UK talk radio stations via the tunein app all day. The main topics was the Supreme Court challenge of the spousal visa process. I now truly know the value of this thread to applicants.
Loads of people living in the UK are really having difficulties meeting the spousal visa requirements (not only applicants from Nigeria, but also loads of other countries).

THE VALUE OF THIS THREAD IS TRULY PRICELESS TO APPLICANTS..... ...... ... ..........

Lexusgs430:


If the financial requirements can be meet in all entirety, then YES .........
