Justwise has said it all. There is no moral justification for advicing anyone on a public forum to obtain fraudulently, manipulate facts and figures or lie to cover material facts. You give Nigerians a bad International image and complicate issues for others who are honest when you do that.

Secondly, it's an anathema to quote the bible in justification of fraud. That's why you appeared hypocritical before your readers.

I disagree with you that we acted based on a holier-than-thou attitude, rather we acted to correct the damaging impression you already created about the other 166,000,000 Nigerians who may never buy into or agree with your silly and myopic views.

Thank u very much i accept that am a hyprocryte and i stand by words do ur worse and for i care go to hell.Must u insult people becos of their views and opinions on issues,like i said earlier if u know what best measures for the guy to take why not state and let's here ur view.
I will also live u and justwise to carefully search ur conscience whether u have done somtin contratry to ur bible in ur life b4 or not.
B4 the popularity of dv lottery,so many Nigerians do arrangee marriage with Americans,Britons Germans etc all to survive and scale tru difficult situations,so spare me all ur critism and face the fact on ground.but u can kip rantin if u wish. Tank u.

I've been told that to get d NPC age attestation, that I need to swear an affidavit... Now I just found out from someone that I CANNOT swear an age declaration affidavit by myself (because I wasn't there when I was born) but that I need to get my dad, or mom or elder relative to swear it on my behalf... Now here's the problem- I just got into Lag few days ago and there's no family of mine I can call on here... Is there any way around this bottle neck or do I just pay the 8k to d NPC guy (who asked me pay and he'd take care of everything) to sort this all out for me?
Any help would b deeply appreciated

I dont know if any disease can disqualify since HIV patients have now been allowed and given VISA.Even with second class upper,you transcript will be evaluated first before you know if you are going for masters or will do some courses first.

Hello Guys,

I just want to first of say thanks to the Lord almighty. Our visa came through the mail today. It was a registered mail so I had to got the post office and show an identification to pick it up. I opened it there and then and behold our passports with our six months DV visa in there with the accompanying yellow envelopes. It has a notice on top of mine that says I should not open it and to hand it over at the POE. I am so so happy that i cant even feel what just happened.

Quick thanks to all especially the following:

@Kemzone2003 - You shared with me some insightful comments backed by solid facts
@Yusmash00
@Don Kool

I wish all who are up for their interviews the very best of luck in Jesus' Name

Kemzone2003:

It is often the case when an applicant for a visa is told that a final decision cannot be made on his visa application immediately. In doing so, the consular officer invokes Section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act and informs the applicant that the case will be put on hold until the applicant’s eligibility for the visa can be determined. This processing “time-out” is taken frequently: approximately one million visa applications were subjected to 221(g) during 2010. Technically, 221(g) is considered a denial; in subsequent visa applications and registration in the Electronic System for Travel Authorization, this must be disclosed. Nevertheless, the overwhelming majority of 221(g) denials are overcome and visas issued.

There are, in essence, two types of 221(g) cases:

1.Washington-related “administrative processing”, in which a clearance or approval is required from an interested agency or agencies in Washington, D.C.
2.Post-related, in which the consular officer requires additional time, information, or documentation before making a final visa decision.

A.Clearances from Washington are required when the applicant presents issues of security, criminality, legal questions, technology exports from the US, other admissibility problems, or is from a country of concern. The question of a security “hit” can arise in a variety of situations, such as potential terrorists, individuals who previously worked as military or other attachés in the US for an unfriendly country, even if that work took place decades before, or even individuals who spent time in certain countries (e.g., Iran). To resolve these issues, a Security Advisory Opinion is needed. Often the “hits” arise because the applicant has a common name: other individuals with the same name are blacklisted, causing cases of mistaken identity or prolonged delays. Suspected criminal activity or ties (e.g., Russian mafia) can also lead to prolonged processing to allow for an investigation. In addition, consular officers refer some legal issues, such as certain material misrepresentations made in a visa application, to Washington for a legal advisory opinion. The application will be held in abeyance until receiving guidance from the Visa Office Advisory Opinion section.

A widely applicable phenomenon has been administrative processing for applicants, usually scientists, researchers, and businessmen, who may be exposed to technologies in the United States which fall under the Technology Alert List. The US does not want sensitive technologies to fall into the wrong hands. In such cases, the applicant is requested to provide an English-language resume, list of publications, and description of the proposed work to be done in the US, which is forwarded to Washington. Individuals who hail from certain countries, such as Iran, Syria, Sudan, must be cleared by Washington. Quite often, these clearances are a formality and simply a question of time to run through the interagency gamut. However, for certain types of clearances, the visa validity period may be limited.

B.Post-related issues can also be broad in scope. They may include investigations or verifications in the home country of the applicant or requests for information or documentation relating to the qualifications of the applicant for a visa. A consular officer may seek to investigate or verify issues such as:

•the legitimacy of a marriage (e.g., send an investigator to the home of the couple applying for a visa);
•employment of an applicant (e.g., calling an applicant’s company to verify that he does work there);
•tax filings or information (e.g., confirming with the tax inspectorate the tax number of an entrepreneur);
•pension fund payments; authenticity of an education document (e.g., sending an inquiry to the Ministry of Education or a school or university to confirm that such a diploma was issued);
•intentions or existence of a sponsor (e.g., calling the United States to speak to the signatory of an affidavit of support);
•or authenticity of a statutory document, such as a marriage, birth, or divorce certificate.

Additional document requests may include:
•a police certificate from a country in which the applicant lived after the age of 16;
•certified copies of court dispositions (arrests, convictions); confirmation of the date of a past departure from the US (e.g. visa overstay);
•employer tax documentation; additional affidavit of support (e.g., consular officer does not believe that the submitted affidavit of support suffices);
•job offer (e.g., a Lottery winner); financial documents (e.g., if the applicant will undergo medical treatment in the U.S.);
•and additional information about the job to be performed in the United States or the employer.

Sometimes, the initiation or outcome of these investigations can be erroneous. For example, a consular officer may mistakenly believe that an applicant has a background in a technology that is on the Technology Alert List; a consular investigator may visit the wrong office address; a secretary who picks up the phone at the applicant’s place of employment may tell the consular caller that no such person works there when in fact the applicant does work there.

Depending on what you want to do, most graduate programs require admission test like GMAT( business school), PCAT( pharmacy school ), MCAT ( med school ) GRE ( social science programs ) You can even get scholarship if you have a very high test score.

Can u help with bus directions from Ojota to d High Court and to NPC?

owobabaisabella:


@lconzo00, Immigrant visa applicants who have resided in the United Kingdom for six months or more since the age of sixteen are required to obtain a statement from the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) Criminal Records Office. Applicants will find further guidance and application forms here, www.acpo.police.uk

Consular officers who received "No Live Trace" results for an applicant should contact London's Fraud Prevention Manager for further information. The Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 enables some criminal convictions to become 'spent', or ignored, after a set length of time from the date of conviction. After this period, with certain exceptions, an ex-offender is not normally obliged to mention their conviction when applying for a job or obtaining insurance, or when involved in criminal or civil proceedings. The "No Live Trace" indicates that information may be available relating to a 'spent' conviction. "No Trace" indicates a clean police record.

Applicants are legally entitled to gain access to the information about themselves under Section 7 of the British Data Protection Act, 1998.rt

I think this will help,better still pls mail me @ olamurphyola@gmail.com. Am also in london.

Thanks a lot brother.
If need be i'll surely be in touch.
God bless.

I know a bro that can help you with the Affidavit if u dont mind. From Ojota just take a bus going to Ikeja, when you get to Ikeja ask from people that you are going to Ikeja High Court or you can call mi to take you there cuz i work in Ikeja. For the office of the NPC, i heard it is located at Surulere.

Bro,I am not medical practisioner but a medical exam report is required for admission as a lawful permanent resident. This is performed by a government-approved doctor. The results can lead to a denial of your green card if you are determined to have a communicable disease dangerous to the public, you fail to provide documentation of having had the required vaccinations and refuse to or cannot have them done before your green card can be approved, you are a drug abuser or addict, or you have a physical or mental disorder that is a threat to yourself or others.

I heard of two cases when I got here.

Some disease can disqualify an applicant. They include the following:

Tuberculosis & Symphilis. HIV has been struck off the list. If I gave the response given above, by now I would have been accused of misleading others. Anyway, we're all still learning.

Law school admission test ( LSAT ) will get you into any law school. It takes three years to complete for a full time student. Part time might take you between five to six years.
