Fiyinfoluwa20: No travel only with your current passport with visa. You only carry your expired passport with you if there is a valid visa on it. 4 Likes |

gracykay: Sorry I'm late responding to this, I was quite busy. What they want is string evidence that you will return to Nigeria so what you do is to provide the evidence they need How? Give them evidence of strong ties to Nigeria. Remember that you are single and in their opinion nothing will stop you from remaining in their country so, if you already have your NYSC call up letter, include a certified copy, if your parents have property documents (include certified copies), if you have shares and investments (include them), add your previous schools fees receipts etc I can go on but my ogas on here have done a good job already. Wish you luck |

Engineer3: No, it's not advisable. Even if the account is less than six months you should include your previous account with it. |

Ekpotek, justwise, travellland. .pls help a bro. Next week Monday will make it 20 working days since I had my biometrics at tls ikeja. I'm yet to receive a decision mail. The last mail I got was a week after biometrics which was the usual 'application received at Sheffield and being prepared for consideration by the ECO'. Since then no info, I have been tracking on tls site , no show. I sent a mail on Thurs, for which I paid almost £6. No reply as at the time of typing this post. My travel date is close by, what should I do, any idea what may be going on? Thanks! I applied for a standard visitor visa, 6 months. |

gracykay: Sorry to hear about your refusal. It is very unfortunate. Although you have been encouraged to reapply adding more document to prove the relationship with your UK-based boyfriend, financial or economic ties to Nigeria. I would rather advise you not to waste your money. The home office is particularly very good at refusing visa applicants for such intention as to visit boyfriend/girlfriend no matter the documents you submit. Their thinking is nothing can compel you will leave the UK after your visit as stated in the refusal letter. There is no way you can proof otherwise since you are still a student, single and depending on your parents. This is due to the fact that many applicants known to home office visit their boyfriend/girlfriend in the UK are likely to overstay, get married, etc. I would suggest that you complete you Master, get a job and build your financial and personal home ties, to the point that you can get visitor visa on your own merit. An alternative option would be, if you're truly in serious relationship with your UK-based boyfriend, then plan toward marriage and then applied to join him via spouse visa route. The home office believed that it is easier and less risky for your UK-based boyfriend to visit you in Nigeria than for you to visit him in the UK and they would keep refusing your application. Although there are some exceptions, however, this is rare, where the applicant must have a solid travel history to the UK, Schengen area, USA etc for the ECO to take into consideration. The UK is more concern about reducing net immigration. My 10 cents thoughts. 4 Likes |

Dr9ce: I would advise you to exercise more patience especially if your reason for visiting is mainly for leisure. Most times when ECOs are verifying documents especially for first timers(are you one?) they take time to scrutinize documents looking for lose ends, when there is none seen the result is often positive This is also the peak period for UK applications where the work load for ECOs is much. Let's hope your waiting will be worthwhile, however continue tracking your application as it can be released at any time |

Dr9ce: I'm probably in the same shoes as you are however, mine is a renewal... Mine is clocked 21working days yesterday. And the reason for the intended travel is happening tomorrow Sunday. I planned to travel today. Now I can't make the event and still haven't heard any update from Tls. I've even placed a call to them on Thursday for which I was charged £20. The feedback was that my application was treated on the 23rd of may. The question from me now is why hasnt my passport been returned? My mom also applied a week before mine and she got her visa and passport. Her visa issuance date was 18th and I was able to collect it for her on the 19th meaning it took just one day between issuance and collection. Clearly there appears to be an issue here... Now I'm under no pressure to collect my passport and distraught at missing my event. I hope you get to get yours before your planned travel date. |

Good day my ppl, please need your URGENT help.which application centre(vi/ikeja) is the best for fast processing n possibility of positive response and what is the current fees for 6mths for ikeja and vi. PLEASE |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by gracykay: 7:46pm On Jun 04, 2017 |
Thanks @ekpotek. Please how can I talk to you outside this forum? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 8:07pm On Jun 04, 2017 |
daddysgal2015: What is it that you don't know how to? Booking a group appointment of TLS? |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by ekpotek: 8:22pm On Jun 04, 2017 |
Martation: Both centres have the same processing time as stated on the UKVI website. However, if you can afford the extra charges try VI as you would pay to use the Ikeja centre now. You can also pay for priority services. |

I have just recently completed a master's degree in the UK and got an offer for a job. Hence I am looking to switch from tier 4 to tier 2 visa. The company is providing sponsorship and will most likely be makin the application on my behalf. However, on 2 occasions I worked about 23hours a week on tier 4 due to mid-interpretation of the "term-time" in the tier 4 visa rules. I was wondering if there is any possibility that this might have any negative impact on my tier 2 visa application. Has anyone done this before? Your opinions will be highly appreciated. Thanks. cc justwise |

Hello Great minds, My name is Chelda, a lawyer working in the Federal Civil Service and i'm new on this particular page. So some months ago with the tremendous advises i received from the greatminds in this Nairaland forum(Canada page) i applied and got approved visa to Canada (first application without travel history) now I wish to travel to Canada through London (I want to say hi to co-worker for a week). Please advice me on which visa to apply for and information on the procedures, the cost and another important extras (the Naija style ) God bless your efforts. |

Dr9ce: They are saying that they know it has exceeded the usual 15 working days and they will work on it although they cannot influence the outcome of your application. |

Today makes it the 18th working day since I applied for a standard visitor's visa. I called the customer care for the Sheffield's Visa Office Friday, I was informed a decision has been made but yet to see an update on TLS site that a decision has been made or it is available for collection. It seems transmission between the visa office and TLS Victoria Island office is slow. 2015 when I last applied(Via TLS Abuja Office) for same visa type and secured it, it wasn't this sluggish, had enough time to purchase a plane ticket for a favorable amount. |

Please, I will be travelling and my aunty who is a citizen will provide accomodation for my stay. How can she write the letter stating that she will provide my accomodation during my stay in the UK and does she have to send the letter to the ECO also? Or should she just send a copy for me to appear with for visa appointment. |
