Vicjustice:
Could you clarify this?

I Hate 9ja:

all i mean,is that can i get a new passport with the name format i want to be on it @ abuja.coz the lost E-passpost wld expire dis 13th december.In short can i process a new passport without my finger print being dectected due to the formal lost passport in their database in immigration office @ abuja

Vicjustice:
I don't think you can obtain a new passport without your finger-prints, so, i expect you can't avoid detection.
Well, i'll advice you to (first) go to an Immigration Office in your area and hear them before considering making a long trip to Abuja

Honestly its simple.

America only allows a certain amout of people from each region "in" regardless.

Its all about the "status quo". They even admit ppl from countries they consider enemies to appear to be this utopia and "rainbow nation of all nations" blah blah.

Nigerian stereotypes may make up some of the reasons why Nigerians are denied in such high numbers, sure. And as someone else said, they know its because many nigerians if admitted would then turn and try to bring more from back home to join them. America does not want that.

Thats soo true, in fact Look at how bad they've gotten on mexicans despite sharing the same border and despite the fact that mexicans contribute the economy and depite the fact that they help build the nation (literally!). Mexicans are family oriented and nationalistic people so they believe in helping their kind achieve the "american dream" even if it means smuggling them in lol.

Americans still believe america to be a white nation - a mini europe away from europe so they want to limit the amount of colored folks that enter.

And even if you do qualify, you will have to shell out hundreds or thousands of dollars (depending on where you are from) JUST to become nationalized!

Lol they know what,they are doing. But i dare someone to please check the amount of europeans (anglos/germanic especially) they accept each year..

i promise you will see a huge difference....in fact i guarantee it.

peter2010: Urgent response needed plz!!!
Hello Vicjustice, justwise and other immigration experts in the house, i really appreciate your good work in here. May God continue to give u more wisdom to put people at the right track.
My purpose of writing is to let you know that I've just been refused a UK visa with their usual and flimsy excuses. I was refused based on my financial and circumstances in Nigeria. I attached all the necessary documents to show my financial status which include payslips from work, a bank statement that shows the salary payment from my employer, tax clearance, CSCS account. I dont lodge any large sum of money in my account apart from just my monthly salary payment directly from my employer. For clearer view, i have attached a copy of the refusal letter with this mail.
Please i will like to do administrative review because i dont see any genuine reason why i shud be refused. Please can the experts in the house tell me how to go abt this asap. Thanks alot.

Noswaa: pls vicjustice and justwise,i really need your attention here,i applied for Canada study permit earlier this year and i was refused,i am married with one kid and i presented all the necessary documents only that my employer and he is also my cousin is my sponsor and he used company account and my personal account,the reason for the denial was that i have no fund to cover the cost of my study without working in Canada and that i will not return to Nigeria after my studies,i secured admission to study bsc in economics to start from 3rd year,because i have bsc in education economics and i work as marketing executive.i submitted my company sponsorship letter,affidavit of sponsorship,company documents and statement of account,then i submitted all my credentials,good gpa,pay slip,statement of account as co sponsor with my husband,marriage cert,birth cert,nysc cert,award letters etc.Now i want to reapply and my husband will be my sponsor,he is a Doctor but he is not practicing in Nigeria,and i wish to change my course to any business course on pgd level,the course will be for 1 year program and my husband statement of account will be above 4million by the time i will reapply but it may not exceed 5 million, pls tell me the exact thing you think we should present to the embassy because i think we may have almost all of them now,thank you

hasszan: Hello Oga Vicjustice & Justwise
Great work here boss. well done.
Still waiting for you to attend to dis my small issue.
I am a business owner, and was refused entry clearance thus:

You state you re self employed as a ... for...since....and that u have a current monthly income of 190k from all sources. i am not satisfied that you have provided adequate evidence to substantiate this claim. though you have shown evidence of your employment, u have failed to show evidence of your income generated frm this business, e.g. income tax clearance for yourself and your company, etc, in support of the applicatn. In absense of such documents, i am not satisfied that your circumstances are as claimed....

I provided my company accounts, though my company was initially a sole proprietorship and was only incorporated as a limited liability abt 4 months ago. I didnt include any tax clearance cert, but i included tax payments receipts for myself, which, under d sole proprietorship structure, is also 4 d company. I failed to include payments receipts, no payslips(I am the oga, so i pay myself anyhow grin)etc, and did not explain how the company makes money. I have now obtained my company (the LTD) tax clearance, but this shows NIL earnings/Tax payments, cos d company is less than 6mths as a LTD, hence tax payments do not apply.

I want to reapply now, and will explain how the company makes money, and also attach all necessary evidence of payment from our clients, and all other sources. However, my state inland rev folks say i have to pay abt 170k for my personal income tax clearance cert. Can i reapply without this, if i properly include all other things? Cos i feel all they want is evidence of how the money comes in?
Thanks man!

Vicjustice:
PAY YOUR TAXES

Vicjustice:
It is not only how the money comes in that they want to see, but rather also, (as a self employed owner of the company), the Visa Officer will be interested to see how genuine both you and the company are: and to prove your legitimacy, you must have up-to-date tax records otherwise, you would be considered as a business man in corruption.
I like to recommend that you apply for the visa in due time when you have the revenue paperworks.
If you have proper documentations and you have good taxes records, i see no reason why you'd be refused a visa.
PAY YOUR TAXES

hasszan:

Hmmmm...so as soon as i can get my personal tax clearance i can then go ahead and apply? I already have dat of my company, but it shows nil payments/tax as explained before. Also, wouldnt it seem as if the tax clearance was obtained solely for the purpose of the application? As the dates will indicate this too.

yasuleiman:
Goodmorning Vicjustice, on this tax issue. In Oyo state, new companies under the prevailing law and regulations guiding payment of income tax are not mandatory to pay income tax until after the first 3years of commencement. As a self-employed. What other tax payments do i stil need to proof. Though, i have being refused U.K visa twice. Thanks

Vicjustice: Why are you looking for a short cut over something that take process?
If it is not mandatory for the company to pay taxes because it is new, wouldn't the company be demed ineligible to be used for visa application.
Why not let the company go through the normal regulation before applying for the visa?
Well, this is a Nigerian revenue matter, I'm not an expert in it

justwise: [/b]

That matters a lot.You need to state why you were refused a visa on those two occasions

yasuleiman:
Thanks, Mr.Justwise. If you can remember, i presented my case to you on the U.K visa and appeal thread, i even sent you the result of my administrative review. If you dont mind, will state the two reasons i was refused, so you can give an honest and objective view and also proffer solution on how to go about it. I intend to re-apply by december.

justwise:

Does your bank statement show the source of your income now? Can you provide paper evidences of your earnings?

yasuleiman:
Goodmorning, i use my current account for my transactions. Customers mostly pay cash, while those that in large quantities use the bank. Most times when i order for goods i use internet banking. Also, our family estate agent remit money accruing from properties willed to us by our late father.
On paper evidences on earnings, i only have invoice booklets, a copy of will.

You need to submit all that and use the blank space in application form to explain more about any money paid into your bank account that has no paper evidence to show the source of the money

Sulevee: Please, can any body advice me. In 2009 I meet an agent who told me he was an agent to the UK embassy and then I had 1.5million naira and the school I applied to in uk splitted the school fees to four installment. Now the money I had was not enough for me to apply for student visa and I don't have a good bank statement . When I meet the agent he told me his brother works in the bank and that he can open an account for me and fund the account and use the bank statement for my visa application he even said I should add the 1.5m that I had to the account but I refused since he was funding the account. He asked me to pay him 300k for the him to apply for me. He asked for my admission letter, my CAS and all my certificates which I gave him. I paid him 200k and balance will be paid when the visa was out. He called me from Lagos asking me some questions about myself and my company. I told him everything about myself and he also told me he need to register a company for me.He did everything and called me from the Uk application center that I should come and sign the application form and submit. When I came to visa application center in Abuja, I signed the form and he told me to hurry up and submit which I did. After some week I went to collect my passport and I was refused on section 320 (7a) that I submitted fudged bank statement, fudged certificate of incorporation and and fudged tax clearance. I called him and he told me he has a lawyer who can write to the embassy for me. It was then I knew I was in the web of 419. Because he was still asking for more money but didn't give him the money. Since then when ever I called him he always tell me he is in lagos. I then made up my mind that when I have my money I will apply again and submit the good document without me knowing tha implication of 320 (7a) until this year 2012. I now have my money and I also got the PTDF scholarship to study for my master program in UK. I applied and I was refused on section 320 (7b) that in 2009 I submitted fudged documents. That if I applied again I will be refused till 2019. Please, I need a professional advice. My scholarship is still valid. How do I get out of this mess. What a world.
