Hello dear Nl UK experts , Please My mum was invited by my junior sister to visit her in the UK. The visit start from 8th of August according to the invitation letter sent to us. Just for 2weeks visit. So my junior sister called me just now that the UK embassy called her last week Wednesday but she couldn't pick because she was at work then. She is actually working as a nurse. And so she missed the embassy call. But she has been trying to call them back since then without success. Any one here with info if their email or phone number that she can call to reach the UK embassy and explain to them about the situation in ground. Please kindly help out your fellow Nl. Thanks in anticipation |

expertman: Your sister must look for a way to reach the ECO. Read back there is a listed UK telephone number that she call. She need to pay for the call and hope it will be commicated to the ECO. Sorry this a potential ground for the ECO to refuse the application if she does not reach the ECO before a decision is reach. An understanding ECO should have called back, but they usually don't for a visit visa. |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by blza: 3:52pm On Aug 01, 2017 |
expertman: There is no way she can reach the entry clearance assistance that must have made that call. they usually leave a message to advise that someone will call back. Unfortunately they can't tell when they will call. And with the current delays, it may take a few days. Their procedure is 3 attempts before making a decision. Home office staff are well aware that answering mobile phones isn't one of those things you can easily do when you are at work. You sister just needs the phone in her back pocket and vibrate switched on. With my experience, I missed their all the first time and they called back after 2 days. |

@xto4, did you eventually put a call through to them? Sorry I have been stalking your thread. I'm in a similar situation as yours and I really need to resolve mine ASAP! Thanks xto4: |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Nobody: 5:28pm On Aug 01, 2017 |
To everyone who may be wondering about the delay with the home office, it is not only happening to Nigerian Applicants but all applicants every where. I have been monitoring immigration boards in India, Pakistan, Russia and Italy and a lot of people are still waiting and some seems to be getting decisions on the 60th working day. but I have not been able to trend delays and decision type. 1 Like |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Brightingsus: 6:05am On Aug 02, 2017 |
KemBee86: You are the British citizen, hence the burden of the application rests majorly on you. DOCUMENTS FOR MOTHER INLAW'S VISIT VISA APPLICATION SPONSOR'S SIDE (You & Wife) 1. Letter of invitation written to the: British Deputy High Commission Lagos 11 Walter Carrington Crescent Victoria Island Lagos, Nigeria The letter should state that you are inviting your mother inlaw for *** reason. Include how long she will spend in the UK and that you would be responsible for her trip, accommodation, feeding and maintenance. Mention where you and and mother inlaw met and by what method you communicate. I'll advise you and wife to sign the letter together as this shows you are together on the invitation and a mutual decision between you and wife. Remember to clarify and expound on anything that may not be straightforward in your sponsorship or circumstances. Do not expect the Entry Clearance Officer to assume and read your mind. 2. Sponsorship undertaking form (SU07) (might not be necessary but I advise you include it). This is a signed declaration that you will be responsible entirely for the cost of the trip. You would be the one to sign it. 3. Copy of your British passport data page (maybe plus your Nigerian passport) 4. Copy of wife's passport data page, visa page and biometric card 5. Council tax bill and/or utility bill as proof of accommodation 6. Mortgage statement or rental agreement, if you have 7. Your Recent 6 months bank statement 8. Your Employment contract letters 9. Your 6 months Payslips 10. P60 for You, usually not necessary 11. P60 for Wife, usually not necessary 12. Wife's birth certificate (MUST). This is to prove your mother inlaw is your wife's mother 13. Wife's employment letter 14. Wife's 6 months payslip 15. Wife's 6 months bank statement 16. Marriage Certificate (MUST). This is the link between you and your wife which has your mother inlaw's name on it 17. Your child's birth certificate (if you want to go the route of your mother inlaw coming cos you had a baby, otherwise do not include) 18. Money transfer receipts, if you send funds to your mother inlaw sometimes 19. Call Log from UK (for calls made to mother inlaw). Remember it is a must to provide evidence that you communicate with your mother inlaw 20. Pictures. The UKVI site says do not include pictures as they will not be considered. However there is no penalty in including. DOCUMENTS FROM NIGERIA 1. Mother inlaw's passport 2. Mother inlaw's cover letter (you can write this for her and send it to her to sign) 3. Mother inlaw's pension documents (since you said she's retired) 4. Mother inlaw's 6 months bank statement 5. Rental agreement and/or recent rental receipt in your mother inlaw's name 6. Evidence of any investments; properties, savings or bonds where necessary. If there is none, no worries. 7. Call log from Nigeria network provider for your mother inlaw's mobile number. Your mother inlaw, possibly with assistance, can get affidavit from any court and obtain a police clearance; with those request for a call log from network provider (e.g. MTN, GLO, etc). Your mother inlaw would need to join in this runs. You can also persuade them to do you a cover note linking your mother inlaw to the call log. Remember to package the application in such a way that your mother inlaw has stronger ties in Nigeria than in the UK, but do not tell lies. 1 Like |
