Planning a trip next year, would love to have a talk sometime in the future to go about this. Ive seen many demoralizing stories about people getting rejected
Good day. I hope you see this on time so I can stop worrying 😂 I submitted my application form for a visit visa yesterday. I did self upload. During my biometrics and capturing yesterday. They didn’t ask for my checklist. I hope that’s not a problem?? Did you submit your checklist when you did yours ? I’d be glad if I receive a feedback, thanks!
Thank you very much for your informative video. I would like to inquire if TLS asked you any questions during the application process. If so, what were the questions? Or did they simply process your application without any specific questions related to it, considering that you have already stated your travel motives to the UK? I am planning to apply for a visa for my spouse, who is a Kenyan citizen. We intend to travel to the UK for leisure purposes, but she requires a visa for entry. As I am a U.S. citizen, I do not need a visa for myself. Do I need to mention in the application that I will be traveling with her and will be responsible for all the expenses? Will there be any consequences if I am the one covering all the costs of the trip? Thank you once again.
Sorry for the late response. TLS did not conduct an interview. They just collected my documents and biometric data. Your other question might need further conversation to enable me guide you accordingly...but I don't see a problem in stating that you will be taking care of your spouse's cost when you are abroad. book a chat maybe? :) calendly.com/grayceee_/30-minutes-chat-with-me All the best in this process.
I would personally start asking the family members to send me money to save over a period of time then apply.....It's important to show that you will not be a burden to the state and having some of your own money helps with that... :) However, this can still work if the family members are willing to provide their financial documents to support your application... All the best :)
Hello Jameni little help here . i got my passport back without a visa sticker = to rejection , but i am not having any paper showing me the reason , i don’t know the reasons ! what do i do ?
sorry to hear this. I am sure the website has some information of what to do once there is a rejection...maybe start there? I would not know the right procedure to follow unfortunately. All the best :)
Help out please. When will my visitor visa starts working. Is it from the date I collected my passport or the intended date i indicated during my visa application. I put 21st July as my intended date of travel
Hi there, how long after the biometrics did you receive your decision and was informed to collect your passport? Also, on your application form, how long did you write that you’ll be visiting the UK for? :)
Hi Sharia, thanks for the questions. It took exactly 3 weeks after the biometrics were taken. My plan was to be away for 7 days including travel days...and that's what I indicated. Now a question to you, have you subscribed?:)
Thanks Madam for your video.My question is when am uploading my passport at TLS which categoery should i put it.There is Education,VAF, Other, Marriage,Employment,financial proof
No exact amount, but articles say atleast 100pounds a day should be the budget to spend over there... You should, however, have more money as savings to show that you won't come back home to nothing
Did TLS collect all your printed documents or just the ones you mentioned in the video that is the appointment schedule, passport and page one of your application?
The funds are as I have stated in the video....if you need a more detailed answer we might have to sit and look at your financials together and figure it out... book a chat :) calendly.com/grayceee_/30-minutes-chat-with-me
Question so I applied for my parents . But they are directing them to interview at different times. If we want them to interview same time we have to pay. Extra?
Hi Moses, I suggest you call the TLS Contact people to be guided accordingly. I applied solely hence did not encounter this. All the best to your parents :)
The UK site says if you apply for a visa and your stay is not nore than 6 months then you dont need biometrics? Does that mean i can apply without biometrics since my stay wont be more than 6 months?
The invitation is personally curated to who you are and what your travel plans are. Maybe a chat can help us figure this out.... book one here :) calendly.com/grayceee_/30-minutes-chat-with-me
Hi Jessica, I think you can if you use it as as a savings account...but maybe have other statements to support this one... I am not an expert... I personally used my bank statements. All the best :)
Hello there..Thanks for the information..Can I please get a handle that I can reach you because I'm on the process already but I would like to know more
No exact amount, but articles say atleast 100pounds a day should be the budget to spend over there... You should, however, have more money as savings to show that you won't come back home to nothing
you can check flight prices on skyscanner and google flights for starters..... I cant remember the flight cost....also you do not need to buy a flight ticket for the visa process.

@@Grayceee_you opted for assisted service or I still need to submit my docs even if I uploaded them
Great info thanks. Just kind question what if it's an instance where you got no job nor any saving but you got family in UK willing to sponsor
I would personally start asking the family members to send me money to save over a period of time then apply.....It's important to show that you will not be a burden to the state and having some of your own money helps with that... :)

Hey grace,when a friend or colleague is writing you a recommendation letter ,which address should one use.
@gracewahu7107 is your friend/colleague hosting you? If yes use their address if no use an alternative address....eg hotel or airbnb
Hello. If my father is sponsporing my trip to whom should be his sponsorship letter addressed to

"Immigration Visa Selection British High Commission Upper Hill Rd, Nairobi, Kenya"
Help out please. When will my visitor visa starts working. Is it from the date I collected my passport or the intended date i indicated during my visa application. I put 21st July as my intended date of travel
Hi, the visa has a valid 'from - to' date....use the time between those dates to travel in and out of UK :)
Hi there, how long after the biometrics did you receive your decision and was informed to collect your passport? Also, on your application form, how long did you write that you’ll be visiting the UK for? :)

@@Grayceee_ good for you, I attended my appointment on 30th August but I’ve still not received a decision on my visa, that’s 10 weeks
@@Cecibliss wah!!! 10 weeks is such a long time 🙆🏿♀️ praying you get your feedback soon 🙏🏾
@@Grayceee_ praying so too, thanks yh
Do they take your biometrics at their visa centre or!?.. And if am visiting for less than a month, do I require a TB test!?
Hey wat happens if you have a sponsor who wants to be the one to sponsor your trip?
Then you state that in your application and follow what it says
In my instance im going for the royal navy interview got the invite.
That should be easy I think. Just state that in your application and share the relevant documents. All the best!!
Hi, do you have to give exact travel dates, to and from, as it has not been booked yet?
yes you can have tentative dates whether or not it has been booked....
Thanks Madam for your video.My question is when am uploading my passport at TLS which categoery should i put it.There is Education,VAF, Other, Marriage,Employment,financial proof
Based on the options provided, I would personally go with other.
What if someone is already in gulf aftr they apply where do they do biometrics
Hi, I would not know the answer to this...I was in Kenya when I applied. All the best in the process :)

Hey dear, what if i don't have any friend or family is it possible to pay an hotel?
Yes you absolutely can!!
Can you apply for a visitor visa if your only purpose is to transit through the UK a couple of time?
My visa was for visiting...I know visa's like the USA one grant you access for 24 hours while on transit...
Do I need traveling insurance??
It's advisable but not compulsory
Question so I applied for my parents . But they are directing them to interview at different times.
