Please can someone direct me to the page number with full information about IELTS, whether all spouse visa applicants in Nigeria must write IELTS, what categories of spouse visa applicants in Nigeria are exempted from IELTS and those who are not exempted, the website to register for it etc. Thank you.

No be only page number. Is that even possible. Every successful student here took time to study every page on this thread and took notes. When you are ready to start your spouse visa process, we will know. You sef go know.

Hi Readynow,I can imagine the tension as this has taken too long. Have you tried contacting them?

Yes we have contacted them my wife called twice they have called her employer and they also called her to ask her some questions too. The second call she made they said they are done with all they needed to do and waiting for home office to respond to them as all investigation have been done.Well I believe God that it will end well in Jesus name.

Amen,it shall end in praise

Hmmmm.... bro I’m afraid this is not a good omen.... it’s beginning to look like the events that led to me being denied my first application in 2016.

First the application took unnecessarily too long. Then after like 3 months of no form of communication at all from UKVi (except the “application not so straightforward” email that I got), they contacted my wife and one of her employers (cos we combined two jobs then) and started interviewing them both and were going back and forth on it until my wife was frustrated and didn’t want to speak to them again. Then after another month or so they sent my passport and then it was denied. Altogether the application took about 6 months.

I hope you did not combine two jobs.... and also I hope your wife’s job is legit. These are some of the reasons why they interview both the applicants sponsor and their employer

I sincerely pray that regardless of all the calls and the unnecessary delay, your application turns out positive. God will favour you. Keep believing bro.

Keep us updated.

Ok thank you very much. I don’t have intentions to lie lol. But I’m my application after my wedding will I put Miss or Mrs and my maiden name? Because I won’t do a change of name until I get to the uk.

You should use Ms if you are married but still using your maiden name.

Ohkay, thanks.

Ohkay, thanks.

Hi. Please type your question here ok. I love NL because it promotes anonymity, that goes away if I respond to your mail/message/whatever it’s called.

I guess it’s cos of the name change. Like I said. I didn’t change my name. I did EVERYTHING with my maiden name and I still bear my maiden name at work. I have just my bank account and GP in his name. But on the application form when you’re asked about any other name you bear, you can type in your new surname and the date you either got married or date you made a newspaper advert (send in this news paper advert with your name section highlighted with a marker if you pick this option).

Thaz all!

Lol, I also love nairaland because I was clueless before reading almost everything on this thread. But I don’t want to keep posting the same questions surrounding the same things all the time.
Thanks for your explanation tho. I appreciate it.

I disagree with oxygyne's statement.
'Mrs' is a title for married women while 'Miss' is for unmarried women. It doesn't matter if you change your name or not.

Thats y she asked if she can use Mrs and her maiden name after her wedding...so Oxygyne is still right... i filled my forms with Mrs after i got married and still maintain my maiden name

Simply put, they need your degree certificate to be able to remove the disclaimer. It might be nice to get that to them before the Naric letter is issued to prevent unwanted disclaimers.

In the meantime, if there is anyone here who had this type of disclaimer from Naric and didn't have any issues, I'm sure they will respond to your message shortly.

Congratulations.......

You cannot break silence and not be issued with tithe payment receipt.......

I would even go further and accuse you of stylishly taking our notes, without buying all the relevant handouts..... And for this offence, 110% tithe payment is expected.....

Hi Guys! Do we submit the Appendix 2 form and sponsorship undertaking when we go for biometrics?
Thank you.

Thank you.

No. You or your sponsor have to send it to their office in the Uk with your supporting documents. You are just going to do your biometrics and they collect your passports. I just did mine on Tuesday. Praying for good news.

Doing mine tomorrow in abuja. Thank you so much. It will go well.

Wow, I'm so happy. I got my pbs dependent visa today.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed their wise advice. God will see all those waiting through. I applied on the 5th of this month.

Hello Justwise. Please I need your advise. My wife and I have waited the 3months duration given to us by tribunal.Till date no information from Homeoffice, none too from Tribunal. When I called Tribunal was told since there has been no response from Homeoffice and the time given for response has passed it means the case will automatically move to listing where a paper hearing will be done. I asked when this will take place i was told they can't say but will be notified the date of the hearing. This date could be whenever.
What will my wife and I do now because the date of hearing could be whenever? Secondly we need to retrieve the TB and English proficiency back because this matter is taking too long. Awaiting your reply, thanks

Pacmandude:

Honestly i feel your pain, this is the frustrating thing about tribunal cases because there is no timeline and the waiting is endless sometimes.

How about reapplying and deal with the reason(s) of previous refusal?

Regarding those documents you just have to keep emailing and calling them, have you paid for their email services before?

I don’t think they care about whether or not you have a degree certificate. They just want two things from you:

1) to prove that you will be able to get a job here so you don’t have to touch public fund.

2) that you speak and understand English well. I’ll just believe that you typed in a hurry, if not, you might want to work on your writing skill (that is if Writing is part of the English exam you will need to write).

I can’t answer about self-employment but to make the gurus answer faster, you should write how much she earns per year.

Thank you Justwise for your reply. I had wanted and still want to reapply (priority this time around) but i need to retrieve the Tb and english proficiency certificates back because without them i can not reapply. My wife was told that she needs to present the TB certificate (which was valid at the time of submission and now has expired because of the long wait of the appeal) to get a new one at the clinic specified by the Homeoffice.
No i have not used their email services but that is not a problem to get to use it.
My wife is writing them a letter today, asking what is delaying the appeal. We feel also we should write them to suspend the appeal and for them to return the documents. Hope these are in order? Awaiting your response. Thank you.
