Teepee85: Is this a fresh Application or renewal? Still waiting for a decision after biometrics was done on the 14th of June. Very strange. |

oluwatobilobami: Leave that question empty or write N/A there since you are applying for settlement visa |

Hi guys, I need the gurus in house to help with a situation. I just renewed my Nigerian passport, but my expired/cancelled passport is currently carrying a valid uk visa. Now my question is this, can I travel with the valid visa by attaching my new passport to the expired/ cancelled passport which is carrying the valid visa? Looking forward to your speedy responses. |

Good day My brother is planning to travel to UK for vacation, but he told me someone advise him he must apply with wife and his children for the visa to be granted. House please I need clarification on this. Thanks. |

diddy11: Go along with both the expired and new passport. No issues 1 Like |

cydophobia: Not necessary. However, there is the belief that applying as a family may be beneficial. That's not true as each application is considered on its own merit. |

diddy11: Yes you can certainly travel with both passport as long as your visa is valid and you have a valid passport even if the valid passport does not carry the valid visa. What you cannot do is travel on an expired passport with a valid visa 1 Like |

Baba1010: I will suggest you reduce the amount to say £700 so that it wouldnt look like you are spending all you savings on his trip and you will not give the VO the impression that your dad may likely stay back. Also reduce his stay to 1 month, Let him also submit his statement of account and please explain any large cash lodgement or recent deposit as submitting acct statement alone is not sufficient, you still have to explain the transactions on the statement especially unexplainable logdements. Please permit my typo. All the best |

Brightingsus: Experienced guys in the house please help. I have paid for a group appointment on TLS and linked our (wife and I) applications together. The issue now is that my date of appointment on UKVI is different from what she chose...I did mine earlier and the same day as me was asking her to pay primetime so we just decided to choose the upper week for her as that didn't require payment. Question: When is the actual appointment date and time? I can't seem to find any helpful information on TLS. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by diddy11(m): 4:50pm On Sep 10, 2017 |
ladylco:. Thanks for your response. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Brightingsus: 4:55pm On Sep 10, 2017 |
Iolo: Hello Sir, did u receive an email acknowledgement after you paid for your visa application? After payment you received an email confirming it, same with your wife. Check your wife's and confirm the date and time. Then locate yours and confirm the date and time. Then sign into your account and change your appointment date. Simples!!! You can't change application details but you can certainly change appointment date 24 hours before your original appointment/biometrics day. Make sure you change your appointment date and time to match your wife's since you are on a group appointment. This is not to get supporting documents messy. See an excerpt below... Nonetheless did you receive any emails after paying for group appointment like you said you did? I can see your case is somewhat different as you paid for a group appointment service in which case my info aforementioned may not serve you. From my knowledge a group appointment service paid for has an agreed appointment day. This you would have to chase them to find that out.

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Iolo(m): 5:07pm On Sep 10, 2017 |
Brightingsus: Thank you sir. Yes we got an email confirming payment from UK VI and the TLS after paying for group appointment and SMS a receipt came via email but nothing else. I will go ahead to update our appointment date and time to reflect same as you've advised. It appears earliest date available is from the week of 18th sept. Is a bank statement printed on the 31st of August still ok to be presented or we get a more recent one? Thanks. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Brightingsus: 5:56pm On Sep 10, 2017 |
Iolo: Contrary to my generic advice, the group appointment should have had a date for both of you. Group appointments override individual appointments. Yes, bank statement of 31st August is perfect for any appointment in September and you don't need any other. Ideally you should be looking at having bank statements not older than a month. Moreover are you saying your email and SMS confirmation of group booking did not come with a date info? While you were requesting for the group booking, were you ever prompted to choose a date and time? |

Good evening all! Please, I'm making a short trip into the US, Canada and back to Nigeria through LHR but I don't have a UK visa and time is limited for me to get a Visitors visa right now. Really want to know if there's actually such a thing as a visa for visitor in transit for me to dash in to the UK and out same day either on my way to North America or on my way back, please. I did read about it somewhere, but I need to understand and be sure how this works. Justwise, frontpagelawyer and others please advise |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Iolo(m): 7:40pm On Sep 10, 2017 |
Brightingsus: The email confirmation of group booking was to send me a receipt saying successful payment. While requesting the group booking, I was never prompted to choose a date and time. The process was: - Create my account on TLS - Add both of our applications to group - Clicked on "Added Value Services" - Clicked "group appointment" and added to cart for both of us - Paid 30 pounds for both - Got the email receipt I referred to earlier. Nothing else has come since then. I just painstakingly went through the website again, and from the wording of the attached image, I have to contact a staff or send an email to them to fix a group appointment. Has anyone gone through this recently?

DebsMed: You will not be allowed into the UK without a transit visa/visiting visa but i'm not sure how long it takes to get one. You can as well try your luck at LHR to see if you will be allowed in, i don't know anybody who has tried this successfully before though. |

justwise: Good evening to everyone, I want to ask that is it compulsory to add marriage certificate and family photo when applying for U.K. Visitor visa. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by DebsMed: 10:56pm On Sep 10, 2017 |
justwise: Okay. Thanks sir. Will enquire at LHR. This is the stuff that I stumbled upon that aroused my inquistion https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/nigeria/transit/somewhere_else/yes

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Brightingsus: 1:32am On Sep 11, 2017 |
DebsMed: You would be allowed without a transit visa into the UK as long as you can show at the border your valid flight itinerary/ticket to US. From your itinerary you must satisfy border control that you would leave the UK same day or before midnight the next day and you must stick to this. Also be ready to give a justifiable reason as to your intentions in the UK. Be confident and you would be fine. It would be worth the while to plan your travel such that you arrive London early enough in the day. Consider travel time from the airport into London city. |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Brightingsus: 11:10am On Sep 11, 2017 |
sundaydammy: Did the applicant receive any mail saying the 15 days decision period would not be met? As it's peak period it may take longer to decide the application. Fact is checks are being made on the application. There's nothing to worry about but to be hopeful. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by sundaydammy: 11:23am On Sep 11, 2017 |
he did not get any mail relating to 15 days decision period would not be met Thanks Brightingsus: |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by DebsMed: 1:42pm On Sep 11, 2017 |
Brightingsus: Wow, wow, wow! Splendid! I will be experimenting this, and I'll sure get back on my findings. But sorry please, you seem to be talking from what you have experienced, am I right to think so? If this is from experience, I should have more confidence trying this out. Grateful all! |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by mightyola: 1:45pm On Sep 11, 2017 |
RetroBoy: I just got an email from TLS saying a decision has been made on my application and my documents and the decision will be sent back to either the UK Visa Application Centre where I applied. Hopefully tomorrow they will contact me to come and pick it up. Yours? |

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Brightingsus: 3:38pm On Sep 11, 2017 |
DebsMed: To be honest, I have not tried it . I am going by their published guideline/info and holding them at their word. For me personally, I would hold that excerpt of where they have it published online to gbege them should they frown at me. |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by DebsMed: 4:10pm On Sep 11, 2017 |
Brightingsus: Lol . Will get back to the house after experimenting. Gracias |
