If I have gotten 2 years visa more than 3 times. Can I apply for 10 years visa without applying for 5 years first? I have a well paying job with good financial standing.
Urgent response would be appreciated

After passport submission, how long do I have to wait to get my passport back?

Good morning folks.
I submitted my application on October 6th.
Biometrics: 26th October. Though I have done one before that will expire in 2027 so I opted for another Biometrics.
Received Passport submission request today 9th November.
I just booked passport submission appointment.

Travel History:
Valid USA Visa used in July this year.
Expired unused USA visa
Expired UK Visa.
Expired Schengen Visas.

Glory to be God.
Thanks for the info from here as well.
I never used any agent in my life. I am an advocate of doing it yourself. Be patient and diligent. Check every detail.
I was rejected by Canada in 2017. I reapplied in January 2020. Covid-19 came and that application is still open till today.
USA has rejected my applications 3 times in the past.
UK also rejected me once.
So I reapplied to Canada this year.

Keep the hope alive.

Good luck to other expectants.

PPR ALERT

Application:16th September 2023
Biometrics Added: 17th September (Had done this previously last year.
Eligibility Completed : 18th September
Bvl and ppr- 2nd October

I do have a valid us visa, I applied first for trv last year to speak at a conference in Canada but by the time I received my passport back from the embassy the conference was over so ended up not travelling at all. However, that passport expired in August 2023 so I only had a one year visa valid till then. I renewed my passport this year and wanted to have the TRV just in case I have an impromptu need to travel to Canada so I applied again.

I only attached four documents, my passport, appointment letter from my organization and my valid us visa and a letter stating what I do and that I wanted to travel to see canada. I didn't attach bank statement because it wasn't requested for( Please attach as much as you think you need, I personally just decided not to 😜, everyone's case is different O).

Just wanted to share. This is my second time applying so I sincerely do not have a whole wealth of experience to share on Canada visa process as both times for me were quite simple a d straightforward.


Quick question if anyone knows before I send in my passport? Not sure the yellow paper I got for biometrics last year came back with my passport when I submitted, I can't find it. I did biometrics in Lagos, but plan on sending to Abuja. Will paying for Transmission fee cover for not attaching the yellow biometric slip? Thanks everyone.

In which of the column did you attach your invitation letter and a letter stating what you and what you want to do in Canada? I also have a valid US visa. There are only 4 columns for document attachments. No columns for bank statement or other proof of fund, travel history etc. I am using the new application website

what's the new site for filling TRV application?

You mean you have 2 active Nigeria passport or 2 different passport from 2 different countries?

Two active Nigerian passports. Since one is allowed to renew his passport 6 months to expiration. Besides, I could only apply for a US visa with a passport with minimum of 6 months validity

Good day great people. Please I need guidance. I have a valid Schengen visa on a passport that will expire in October. I just got my US visa on my new passport. I will be travelling in July to Europe and travel to America from Europe.
How do I handle the passport presentation to immigration officers in Nigeria, Europe and America? Do I have to present the 2 to Immigration guys in Naija and in Europe? When leaving Europe, do I have to present the two?
Please your advice is required. Preferably someone that had similar experience.
Thanks

Yes. Consent letter is required. To be written and signed by either of the parents. A valid means of ID must be attached by the parent.

Ajalalomo:
I want to apply for a Schengen visa for a minor who is 6 years old.

1. Is a parental consent form or travel authorization letter required?

2. Can I write this letter by myself, or do I need to print out a form?

Hi, I had the same issue with you.
I used transfer, got debited 3 times.
Used card and they said all 2 cards weren’t 3D secured.
Then I proceeded to open a barter account with flutterwave, I made a transfer into the barter account, then I used the flutterwave virtual card, and it worked.
Apparently, seems they want people opening the flutterwave account by force, by fire. Good luck.

Unable to book appointment successfully. The payment platform keeps saying that there are missing parameters after inputting all the details.

Anyone with same experience and how to resolve this?

Please if you have any information about available date slots for tourism application at vfs for France, kindly post it here. Filled form since October 3rd, till now, no date available.

Good morning everyone. Please help. I applied for a long stay visa to join my husband in France 5 days ago. On day 4, I got a call from a consulate at France embassy in Nigeria. We spoke at length . He said I didn’t attach a document my husband is supposed to provide at his local government area in France. A memo/letter at OFII office over there. He said my passport would be returned back to me. Later in the day, he called again and said I can apply for short stay. What I need to do is go to the application submission center at lekki with my application letter and tell them I was called and asked to submit , so it will be sent to them at the embassy. He asked if I would be free on Monday, I said yes and he said I should be there by 10am. I am so confused now , I don’t know what to do.

In applying for long term visa, you need to provide documents showing the status of your husband in France vis-a-vis his resident card, letter from the local council stating his house address, his office ID card etc

Please which bank's card can I use to make payment for 6 months visa fee?

Chikebrain:
Good day house, I need your help, advice and input.
I intend to go on a vacation with my family (wife and 2kids) to Paris hopefully by next year April (when the kids will be on holidays). Questions I have
1. I have created an acct on their portal. Can I use this account to submit I and my families passports or I have to open an accout individually and submit their passports.
2. Do we need vacinnation certificates
3.

April next year is 8 months from now. You should apply 3 months to your intended date of travelling. Yes, you can use your account to fill separate forms for your family. There's a way to create application form for each member of the family from your account.

You may need your vaccine certificate if you claimed to have been fully vaccinated when scheduling your appointment

Here is the update about my follow-up interview today.
I did not use my last US visa though it was my first US visa because the event I wanted to attend was cancelled due to Covid-19.
Transcript:
Vo: Good morning
Me: Good morning.
VO: Have you been to the US before?
Me: No.
VO: You didn't use your last US visa?
Me: Yes
VO: Where are you going and what's the reason?
Me: Mentioned the city and the purpose. Same event I wanted to attend two years ago.
VO: Have you been to the UK before?
Me: Yes.
Flipped through my passport. I have an expired UK visa, 2 expired Schengen visas and one year valid Schengen visa.
VO: Did you travel with your family?
Me: No. Children were in school.
VO: Visa not approved. You can reapply.
Me: Thank you. I waka comot jejely. Lol.

Apparently, she wasn't happy that I didn't use the last visa. But I can't travel without a purpose.

Well, thanks folks for sharing valuable information here.
I wish you all good luck.

I am a bit confused on this 221G follow up interview. The first date that popped up for me I chose was March 3rd but my passport was still with them. After traveling to go attend the interview, the processing guys sent me back to go get my passport as it was just sent. I have now collected the passport yesterday and saw the white paper with “schedule follow up interview” no dates are however popping up. How do I proceed to conclude the 221G interview? If you know kindly shed light. Thank you.

Continue to check until you get a date. Hopefully, you will get a date for your follow up interview very soon

Once you login, the Information is right there saying schedule followup interview. One you check the circle, dates will either pop or it comes blank

Folks, if you are asked to schedule a follow-up interview appointment, please login immediately. February 11 date is available with several time slots.

Dampops:
Dates usually pop up like 3-4 business days after you are “refused”.

Calm down

Lol.

The date written on my refusal letter is 25th February. Got pick up mail on March 2nd and picked it up March 3rd.
So, which date am I supposed be calming down for? Loool

Good day, this is what prompted when I wanted to schedule a follow-up interview. Does that means there's no date available?

Yeah. It's at the instance of the Consulate. Got a refusal. I didn't use my last visa because the event I wanted to attend was cancelled due to Covid-19. I had no any other reason to travel to the States. Though it was my first US visa.

Dampops:
Is the follow up appointment at the instance of the Consulate? That is, did you get a refusal at the IW/Dropbox submission?

If so, the appointment dates will pop up in a couple of days for you to choose from. You don’t have to join any telegram group if this applies to you.

I need to schedule a follow-up interview. It seems it's difficult to be added to the telegram group.
I will appreciate if anyone already in the group can paste info about openings here as soon as they become available.
Thank you and God bless you

Dampops:
Hmmm...how do they ascertain that you are the same owner of the old email? Anyone could try to impersonate you? Just thinking out loud...They could also think you used an agent to do the earlier booking...

Thank you. I called ustraveldocs customer care and they picked after 11 minutes of waiting. The old profile was deleted after answering some questions.
I have successfully booked an appointment for February.

Thanks everyone for your prompt responses.

I used to have a profile with ustraveldocs but the email is no longer active. Now I couldn't proceed with my appointment because of the old profile. I have written to them to assist in deleting the old one.
Anyone knows another way to resolve this?

Which option would I choose please?

I need help. I am trying to register as a new user. I keep getting this error message.
