Good morning guys and compliments of the season.

I just tracked my application and I realized that my application has been "transferred to VAC". Please how long will it take for my application to be "received by VAC"

is there any hope of getting an update from TLS today?

Thank you

Hi All,
Update I have gotten the Visa

Sorry about that... What I can tell you is that.... call the UKVI and know the status of your application. You can also track it online tho... You can also go to TLS to know if her passport is there already and there's a glitch in network that she didn't receive a pick email.

Hello, Goodmorning everyone. Please I kindly need your help. Im currently in UK for a Wedding and the bride is my very good friend but a bit sad at the moment. Her Dad and Mum both applied for Visa since Nov but her mum's passport has been held for more than 4 weeks with no reason.

Her wedding is next week and it saddens my heart to see her cry because her mum might not be available.

Please this is for those with genuine answers only. Its a serious matter please.

Anyone knows what we can do to fast track this? We have called severally and they kept on saying within 15days for a while now.

Please kindly help if you know anyone at UKVI or how to go about it.

congrats

can u pls brief d house d docs etc of this visa journey

Sorry about her ordeal but unfortunately TLS has one of the most unreliable service I have ever come across and it's really shameful that they wouldn't even deem it fit to contact applicants when they have unnecessary delays At this point, the applicant should contact UKVI to ascertain the status of the application, then she might need to visit TLS also to make inquiry.

Hi All,
Update I have gotten the Visa

Good morning all. Please my brother is planning to apply for UK visa and was employed last year January on commission basis.

His commission prior to this time was paid through cheques but the company mandated him to open account in September after confirmation of his employment.

The payment of his August salary was credited around 10th September 2019.

Currently he has been paid consistently for 5months and he is waiting for January salary to make it 6months.

Please can he use the statement of account to apply for UK visa despite it is not up to 6months old?

Happy New year my people. I’ve been following this thread since 2018 (Read from part 2-4) and I have really gained a lot on here and my visa was successfully granted.
Thank you guys for your selflessness.

Nice one Congrats

Hello House,

Kindly advice on the attached refusal Letter (for a friend). She earn above 750,000k and submitted every doc.

Appeal or re-apply?

Mind you, in the entire statement of account, there was only 2 credits, 40k and 116k only, which are from peeps she borrowed money that was reflected in the debit section of the statement. I wonder if they actually go through docs.

Hi everyone,

Please where does my cover letter and my wife’s consent letter go? I.e “Document type”....

Thanks
