*2* Virgin Atlantic, British Airways. I think Emirates or Qatar too... visit wakanow or check the website of the airlines.

*3* https://covid19.ncdc.gov.ng/privatelabs/ List of approved labs

*4* https://nitp.ncdc.gov.ng/onboarding/homepage

If we do the test in one of the approved labs do we still need to pay 50k to NCDC , I don’t understand please

Can we use Turkish Airlines or Quatar to travel to the UK ?

Please can anyone who has booked their day 2 and day 8 test and it was successfully delivered to them and carried out please share the information (maybe a link) of the company they booked with. Thank you

Collection Mail for July 26th Standard, Ikeja Just dropped !

Dumebi213:


I think it's best to call late into the night, I called them a little after 12am to find out if a decision has been made on my application and my 1k credit burnt because there was no agent available

I then waited till about 12:30 am and tried (loaded another 1k) again, this time I was connected to an agent in less than a minute after the normal auto formalities.


So if you are online now, make a call.

Thank you so much. I appreciate, I will try this tonight

Please when is the best time to make a paid call to UKVI ?

CSPb:
Glory to Jesus Christ.

Visa collected

Biometric day: 26th July ( Standard)
Collection mail: 11th August
Collected: 12th August.

Have learned alot from this trend.
What I have learned from my visa process is to be sincere and truthful.

Congratulations. Please Vi or Ikeja ?

ggg4:


Standard application doesn’t make sense. I actually didn’t know I just need to add £220 and make priority application. I did biometrics since July 26 and I’m still waiting until now .The waiting sucks.

I did standard application on the 26th Ikeja. Still waiting as well. If you get any updates on your application pls update on here. Thanks. I’ll do same.

Owlette:
Collection mail just dropped oooo

Please did you do standard or priority and ikeja or vi ?

Yes, they took £20 pounds at first but they will only charge you for the amount of minutes you speak to the agent. Not that they will take the whole £20. They just took it as like down payment to be sure you actually have money in the card

Sagamaje:
@Senn I called Sheffield this morning about my wife's application and was told decision not yet made. The only surprising thing is the £20 that was removed from the card but only spoke with them for 1.23 minutes (when d call was picked). Is this what you experienced as well?

They will be able to log in in Nigeria and print out. Just remember the username and password and send it to them for them to use and log in. You can fill the online form for her, make payment, choose the centre and date online. When you're done, give them the username and password let them log in and print out the application form cause it's part of the documents needed. It will be scanned at the visa application centre.

Brightingsus:
I wanted to ask. Once one does online visit visa application, is there a requirement or provision to print out the completed online form and add to the documents to submit at the TLS appointment? There is such for spouse visa application, I don't know if it's same for visit visa.

Am now ready to apply for my mother inlaw, but I want to be the one to fill the online application myself here in London but it would like she's the one filling it since it's online and location does not really matter much. Then if there must be forms or acknowledgements to print off, I believe they should be able to log into the account in Nigeria and print what I must have filled (or must I print myself and send the hard copy documents to Nigeria?)

Note, I have already sent my supporting documents through a friend that visited.

And also I applied for standard , didn't do priority service

Also for those that asked this is the site to where you will get their contact number : https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside-outside-uk

For those asking , I am a female please so don't refer to me as "guy" or "man" lol
Secondly their phone contact is 24hours so you can call them anytime but for those asking I called them at about 5:45pm on Tuesday
And the person that asked yes you need airtime on your phone as airtime will be going while you talk to them. I loaded N500 and it was enough but you can load 700-1000 just to be on th safe side
Remember you need a credit card with you as they would tell you to input certain numbers so payment can be made. They will only charge you once you've been connected to speak to someone. When you call the number everything will be explained to you

For those asking, this is what i did and this is my timeline
-applied 31st may 2017, tls ikeja
-got an email that same day that my visa has been transferred to UKVI
-got an email June 1 2017 that UKVI sheffield has received my application and will be underconsideration
-June 25th got an email from them saying they cant make the decision within 15 days and they are sorry for any inconvenience and would make a decision as soon as possible. ( i was very scared)

After 2 weeks i had not still heard anything from them
so on july 7th i went to TLS ikeja and they told me that this is UKVI peak season, that they get alot of applications so i should just exercise patience and nothing is wrong with my application and i should wait till i hear from them again (tls is the them here)

still wasnt convinced by the lady at TLS ikeja so i took matters into my hands and decided to contact UKVI. i tried emailing them but the site didnt accept my payment so i called them on wednesday july 12th and the guy on the phone was very lovely and friendly and told me a decision had already been made on my application a day before (tuesday, july 11th) & that my passport would return back to my country and the visa application centre soon. NOTE : I DIDNT CALL THEM TO TELL THEM TO MAKE A DECISION. A DECISION HAD ALREADY BEEN MADE. IT WAS A COINCIDENCE I CALLED THE DAY AFTER MY APPLICATION HAS BEEN DECICIED. even the guy on the phone was like funny that im calling exactly a day after a decision has been made. so dont think if you call UKVI they will then make a decision on your application, you can only make enquiries about your application and not tell them what to do.

today i got an email form tls ikeja saying a desicion has been made. got the email at about 11 50am. then at 4pm anoother email came in from them saying my passport has been returned and i can come and get it.

yes i called UKVI sheffield. when i called they told me a decision had just been made the day before i called.
called them on wednesday, they told me a decision was made on tuesday. got an email from TLS ikeja today that my application is ready

Sagamaje:
@Senn . Plz did u call the office at Sheffield before decision was made because my wife did her biometric on 5th of June here in Abj and nothing yet. Plz how did u go about urs. @ Senn

i had to call UKVI Sheffield because i hadnt heard about my application in a while and was very bothered. Called them on wednesday and they told me that they had taken a decision the day before which was on tuesday. so today i got an email from TLS ikeja saying my application has been assesed and passport ready for collection. will be going on monday to collect it because they dont open on weekends . when you call UKVI though you have to pay. its £1.37 per minute so you need a credit/debit card with you because they will tell you to input the numbers of the card, expiry date of the card and Cvc of the card

letmov:
@Senn when did u apply

thank you very much

Brightingsus:


There have been applicants who got emails from both UKVI and TLS that a decision had been made with a follow up email about passport being for collection. There are also others whose applications were decided but they did not get any emails and they went to pick up their passports without getting emails. Your case is not exclusive.

or will they still send it and i should just be patient since the caller that attended to me assured me that a decision has been made

senn:
someone pls help me and reply , thanks

someone pls help me and reply , thanks

senn:
