Hi guys
Attached is a photo of a flight i’m trying to book but before i do, just need a few clarification.

Pls what’s the meaning of “Self Transfer” when booking a flight?

Flight will transit in Barcelona for 2 hours. Will i need a transit Visa when booking such flight?

Thanks in Advance

Thank you so much

You should be able to get close dates by upgrading your visa application experience by using one of TLS and/or UKVI services which priority service is one of them.

Although if your application is Non Straight Forward (NSF) i.e more information is required from you, your application will still be delayed beyond the stated timeline for priority services.

If you still have the luxury of time because priority services are used by applicants with short days to resume school, you can simply use one of the following on their site.

This is done by simply paying for one of their other TLS value added services such as;

Lounge for N44,000 (Less queue inside and you get to relax at their lounge with any of their complimentary drinks, snacks, tea and anything available before and after your biometrics)

Prime Time Appointment for N38,500 (This is if you can’t come to the visa centre during business hours)

Assisted Service for N12,300 (You get all your documents scanned and ed by them at the center if you don’t wish to self )

Lastly, It is also advised on this trend which I will quote

“Ideally you should all your documents 24-48hours before your biometrics if you choose the self appointment. I always advice 72hours to avoid stories”

“With assisted there's nothing to do, you only need to take your documents to your appointment and it will be ed at TLS”

Pls for those who recently went for biometrics at TLS, what is the average time spent?

duchess90:
Hello

Minimum 28days and Yes your bank statement should cover that

2. It shouldn't be a red flag, but if the ECO asks you should be able to defend your bank statement


Cheers

You mean an interview

Aha

Self transfer means...you will check out with all your luggage and check in again for the next connecting flight as against just checking in with hand luggage alone for usual stop over flights.

Be sure to know the visa rules for the countries involved

It means your luggage won’t be automatically checked in for the Ryanair flight. You have to get your luggage from baggage claim and check it into your Ryan air flight at the counter. I think you might need a transit visa for Spain. I don’t advise booking this flight

Please help me cos I keep getting error message while trying to pay for biometrics.

Hello

Yes or NSF requesting source of funds for a particular date

You mean an interview

Hello

Anything and everything can cause an NSF,

An NSF will usually tell you the additional documents/information the ECO needs to assess your application

If you have an empty NSF then that's just standard protocol when more time is needed

In summary,dot your I's and cross your T's as much as possible

Cheers

Ezegees:
Good evening. Please what causes NSF email

Hello

You need a transit visa

Hello

Yes

In addition to an affidavit and cover letter explaining the error and efforts made in correcting it then it should be fine

Hello

1. Process for sole custody is through the court, you will need to speak to a lawyer for that

2. It depends on the age, some airlines offer unaccompanied minor flights.

What is your definition of close relatives? Do you mean immediate or extended? Besides you will need to first prove your relationship with the person and then consent letter to travel with your children. There may also be push back from border control

I would strongly advise that the MA explores the unaccompanied minor option or travels to get them

Cheers

Thank you so much duchess, close relative like Ma's mum that she already indicated that the children stay with. Their ages is 9&7.

for those of you that ve submitted your application at TLs pls i need urgent answer?
1.are they accepting black and white photocopy ?
2. how much is their charges if they wanted to help me my documents there .?

JhaayYoung:

Yes I have, I shared it earlier, but no BRP mail. Anyway, that appears to be the new trend.

Check your promotion folder on Gmail and your spam. It is there

Felafella:
Aha

Visa fee is now approximately $485?? i guess it get high a bit!

duchess90:
Hello

Is your job on the shortage list?

Here's a link to get you started

https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa

I think there is also a skilled workers visa thread in Nairaland

Cheers

Thanks for the response, I so much appreciate.


Please I'm at the stage of paying payment for my application, but I need to ask some questions to be sure that I'm on the right tack..

1) I'm to pay the sum of 300USD for the application fee, for a 3 years skilled worker visa.. But someone told me that the amount is supposed to be higher than 330..

2) I'm only seeing option to pay for standard, and I wanted to use priority, please how can I fix this?


3) At what point can I select the center I want to do biometric because I still haven't come across the option..

4) If I eventually pay for the application fee, will I be the one to choose the date for my biometric, I'm asking this particular question cos my PCC isn't ready yet.

5) My TB certificate will expire on the 8th of August, do I need to do a new one or I should just apply with the old one.

6) Maintenance is ticked on the COS, I guess I won't have to submit statement.

Good morning house. I have two questions to ask.
1. When i applied for ission I wasn't married and now I'm married with a change of address. Now I used my husband's address to apply for tb test. Hope it won't be a problem.
2. The UK address I used is university of derby but the cas is taking long and I just got another ission which I'm considering can I still use the tb certificate.

@Headofschool, @Kroey93 and @Duchess90

Thank you guys for your response, much appreciated. I’d get something straightforward to book instead

Thank you so much.
secondly, who do I address the cover letter to?

duchess90:
Hello

Yes

In addition to an affidavit and cover letter explaining the error and efforts made in correcting it then it should be fine

Cheers

Good morning everyone.

Please I need to confirm...
Main Applicant has 2 bank s, hope it is not a problem if one of the is used for MA POF and the other bank is used for dependents POF.

Thanks

JhaayYoung:

BRP will drop this morning before 10am.

good morning dear all, please what is the best way to pay for IHS and visa fee.
Can the person pay straight from her naira please?

Dailymice:
Hello duchess90, justwise. Thanks for all you do here. I applied for Coventry University and got a conditional offer. After the deposit I was given access to the CAS Shield to submit by documents. I submitted my bank statement but it was rejected as according to them it had expired and I would need a new one.

This is already July 27 and I am working towards the September intake, what are the chances to still leave by September if I my new bank statement which will mature in 28 days - August 24th. With the school already saying their CAS deadline is August 14th

Why can't I get the CAS and now bother about the bank statement for my visa application?

A response would be appreciated

What did they mean by your POF is expired? Just print another one making sure you it’s within 28 days

Hi Rhamzy,

This is a problem from their end. I had same problem applying for someone sometimes last week.

I sent a message to them via their TLS website & they sent a confirmation to my email which the person used to attend her appointment. Better still, you can hold on because they will send you an appointment reminder 24hrs to your appointment, you can print that email and use it.

Also for the courier, if your payment was successful, they will have your data when you go for the appointment. Same issue happened to the person I applied for last week. I hope this helps

Rhamzy94:
Good morning everyone, please I booked an appointment via TLS and also paid for value added services. The transaction was successful but receipt wasn’t sent to my mail neither was the confirmation of appointment sent. Please what do I do? I paid for both courier delivery and flexi appointment.

@duchess90 @justwise and other gurus.


Please help, my appointment is supposed to be tomorrow.

There's no problem using 2 s. Infact merger the 2 statements and same copy for each applicant.

Please ensure you observed the 28days rule.

Cheers

Good morning everyone,

Thanks for your help so far.

Please I just got an additional document request from UKVI to more proof of relationship evidence to my husband (See attached). We did our court wedding in March 2023 and here are the documents we initially ed.

1. Marriage Certificate
2. 3 Years Dating Photos with dates
3. Introduction Photos
4. Court Wedding Photos
5. 3 years text message screenshots

NB
- Our bank statement has the same address, we have been staying together for the past 2 years though both our names are not in the house rent agreement. Should we reattach the bank statement as proof of address?

- We have a t (different from what was used for POF) that was opened in June 2023, we didn't a reference letter because we felt the was too new, should we go ahead and submit it now?

- We don't have any investments together.

Please any advice on how to handle this will be greatly appreciated.

Talk to landlord to issue new rent receipt in both couple name, add more pictures of the couples with other wedding attendance, the t with reference. Add church wedding certificate or Islam certificate if you had one. Add any landed property or t property you both had. News paper change of name too should help
