AskGod07:
Wow that sound great and luck for you, Is your total budget of 1.37M is within your 2 month disposable income ? How much do you allocated for your flight ticket 2 ways ?

There is no law that forbids you from taking a vacation that costs more than two months of your salary.

This 2-month income rule is only a suggestion to help you avoid allocating all of the money in your during visa application to travel-related expenses.

Since every situation is unique, I don't see anything wrong if you choose to use 3 months of your salary for vacation.

If we adhere strictly to this 2-month income guideline, no one making less than 150k per month will be granted a visa.

Pls do I need lawyer or Agent for spouse visa Have been to the Uk twice….please someone should reply me

I really don't know who to be angry with at the moment.

Application submission for 3 family 18th Dec 2022
Biometrics done 4th Jan 2023
Arrived UKVI 5th Jan 2023
Travel Document Returned by courier 11th Jan 2023
DHL notified that documents arrived at incorrect facility 13th Jan 2023

Called today the 16th and DHL and document is still at incorrect facility. Trying to stay calm.

Finally got our ports back today. Grateful to God that the visas were issued and intact. Visa validity starts towards the end of this month. Kind of them to move it forward to accommodate travel date.

I submitted Tax clearance, payslips, bank statements, mutual fund investment(with letter from bank stating the amount in pounds).

Traveled to the UK once in 2015 and later to the USA and Canada. I have a sibling studying in the UK which I declared. No accommodation booking yet but stated that we plan to use an airbnb for the three weeks stay.

Good luck to all applicants.

Like I said, there’s nothing we should be saying to you as it’s late. Goodluck once again

I had 5.5m in the company and transferred 3.5m to personal s for the quick trip. Which i mentioned on the application. Obviously I won’t use it all. I have noted all you said. Thank you for responding

First, you need to check if the ticket is refundable, because some tickets are not. Either you use it or you lose it.

If you confirm that the ticket is refundable, then you can wait until Thursday next week to see if you will get a pickup notice from TLS; if not, then you can go ahead and cancel it.

But make sure you confirm to know if the ticket can be refunded or not.

Please how easy is it to get an appointment date ? if I submit my application today am I able to get a date like Wednesday next week?

With your payslips

Hi Olivia. I'm in the same situation. What do we do? My employer is also expecting me and I already received my BRP mail since December. Infact, it was sent twice.

OptimisticK:

I went there, my port isn't ready yet according to them, when they checked.

When I went to see one of them letting him know I got a Successful BRP mail since last 3 weeks, he said I shd collect enquiry slip.

It was the same paid call and paid mail numbers.

Ok thanks Ashirioluwa.... I think her ticket is refundable jst dat she's is worried abt d increased ticket price....
Anyway, I wil give her hope n courage her to stil wait til d referee blow d whistle.

Not compulsory. never used it before.

You can demonstrate financial proof without a Tax clearance certificate by using your bank statement, bank letter, paystubs, and possibly your employment letter.


What you truly need, outside the financial proof, are the Home ties. It is very important to show that, if you are given a visa to enter the UK, you will undoubtedly return home at the end of your authorized stay.

Don't rely on my post 100% because it is based on my own personal experience. I am not an agent or expert in immigration matters, so do more research on this matter.

Please how easy is it to get an appointment date ? if I submit my application today am I able to get a date like Wednesday next week??

giselle237:
obviously not same documents as some maybe outdated but yes you can follow same process and if your liver + overall circumstances carry you… apply for even 10 years

Thanks

Good evening everyone,

Please what English test will someone coming to us for care write.

Thank you.

Ashirioluwa:


There's nothing to fear because the NIN number has nothing to do with the outcome of a visa application.

The NIN number and port number are two different pieces of information, so don’t fill them out or use the port number as the NIN number. Leave it blank if you don’t have it; that is better than giving out misleading information.

Moreover, getting a NIN number these days is as easy as ABC.

thank you so much.

Visa renewal alert (2 years).
Biometrics date: 11th January 2023
TLS collection mail: 18th January 2023
Pick up: 19th January 2023.

First 6mths visa was issued in July last year, travelled to UK once for 10days.

I was very surprised at the short processing time as I thought it will take up to two to three weeks.

Thanks to everyone for the advice and on this platform. God bless you all.
