cfcchick: If you need to travel next week, I will advise you to initiate your withdrawal process ASAP. I did my biometrics on the 14th of June and I needed my passport on the 30th of July for an appointment, I didn't get a notification until I decided to withdraw my application on the 24th of July and I was not able to get my passport for my appointment. I just got a notification today to pick up my passport after several visits to TLS and the UK Visa office at VI. |

fowlyansh181: Please remove your passport number, it is not necessary. You can track it yourself by visiting TLS website then login with your details and check the status. |

Hello everyone, please now that I’ve gotten my visa does my husband need to write a consent letter to enable me travel with our son? If yes, pls who will the letter be addressed to? Thanks in advance |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by Travelmonk: 8:36pm On Jul 31, 2018 |
cfcchick: My wife submitted her's and our son same day (10th July). Got an email today that wifey's passport ready for collection but didn't receive any for son. Could it be that son's own is ready too, considering fact that passport went together in the same bag (different GWFs)? Going tomorrow to go pick-up (Abuja). Please house what's your take on this? |

Greetings to the good people of this forum. I.will appreciate your imput to these grey areas.I intend travelling to the UK with my hubby In filing the application,do we stand a better chance of being issued a visa if we apply individually or as a couple? We both have good paying jobs. 2. If it is better off applying as a couple, how do we get to fill the application to show we are applying as a couple? 3. which of the visa application links is better,simpler easier to use,? The old or the new application link ? I heard the old one is better but i want opinions from real users. 4. Then can I make payment for the visa application through GT Bank or must it be online? I will appreciate your candid responses |
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 3 by bigbus: 10:18pm On Jul 31, 2018 |
MadameW:I guess this may depend on the age of your son. Perhaps best you contact the airline. If you have a different surname, take his birth certificate and copy of his dad's ID with you. (Just a suggestion). Another option is for his dad to accompany to the airport; then he can provide any letter, if need b. For unrelated minors, you would have needed to submit consent letters from both parents and parents IDs to NAPTIP office, then take the reply from NAPTIP to Immigration office at the airport, with letters to the (Deputy) Comptroller to NIS, at the airport of departure. (Best done at least a week in advance). Or follow the easier route of letting the parents subscribe to the "unaccompanied minor" service from the airline. |

kokoli: Applying as a couple will be better. When filling the form, there are sections u will will be asked if you are traveling alone or with your spouse. in addition to this, when filling the TLS form, u fill as a group submission. I think the old application form is more straight forward. U can only pay online with a bank debit card or through paga online as well.. I hope this information helps. 1 Like |

Kaleydd2000: The criterion of the proportionality of the amount you intend to spend on a holiday is influenced by several other factors such as the amount you and your wife earn and other factors which taken together are used to determine the probability that you are genuine travelers and not prospective immigrants. As such one cannot say specifically if this amount is proportional without knowing all your circumstances such as what you family earnings are, your detailed travel history, ties to Nigeria such as property owned, etc., etc. However, at the time I was applying for visas (it's been 5 years since I last applied for a UK visa and the reason why I'm reading this thread now is because I'll be applying again in January and I gather things have changed a lot since 2013, so need to familiarise myself with new requirements and features, e.g. applications were not online in 2013, for instance), it was a rule of thumb that one should try to keep one's proposed expenditure within the equivalent of 2 monthly salaries or thereabouts for proportionality. Not sure if this rough guide still applies, but note that I would think that things may have become stricter since 2013 and not the other way round. Also remember that before the Tories brought in this lousy "hostile environment" policy in 2011 or so, quite a lot of visas were issued to people who would simply not qualify now that the default position appears to be to refuse first. As I stated in my last post, people who have strong "rootedness", travel histories or suchlike can play around with some criteria like my brother did and still scale through. If you're not in such a position, my advice would be for you to ensure as much as you are able that your application(s) satisfy all the criteria and let the rest be up to the issuing officer's discretion. Ever since I started presenting applications after carefully ensuring that they satisfied to the greatest extent possible all the criteria I was able to discover concerning that particular country, I've been lucky to get every visa I applied for. I'm sure you'd like that to be the same for you as well. |

I appreciate your contribution so much. Of course I have got travel history, a bit though, been to Austria, Togo, Benin and Ghana with my family twice. I own two landed properties, one of which where we reside. My wife also has a landed property and an investment in TB worth about 2M. All these we are presenting and backing up with prayers. I just trust God that we'll get it. quote author=Cyberknight post=69892923] The criterion of the proportionality of the amount you intend to spend on a holiday is influenced by several other factors such as the amount you and your wife earn and other factors which taken together are used to determine the probability that you are genuine travelers and not prospective immigrants.

Olugerm: You should register with the TLS Contact for Lagos or Nigeria. When you put in you GWF number (a reference number assigned to your application) it gives you status updates. Good luck and let us know how it goes. 1 Like |
