@ akolawole re the 28 days philosopy, Is this the 28 days time of appeal or the unresolved one 28/56 days one circa muyiwabanks? |
Akolawole:But they already do. When you pick up the ECO's decision in Nigeria, an A4 paper is attached to the package stamped with the date of collection, these "embossed" date is when your 28 days of notice to appeal is counted from. The date of receipt is relevant as this is the day your 28-days appeal period is counted from. |
ty4real thanks o jare, welcome on board the champions side, you see now pataki, no shaking. ![]() |
@ neksb this issue takes us back to an unresolved argument on this thread a while back around the time of muyiwabanks, about whether successful applicants had to wait 28 days or 56 days for them to be contacted. I still think (no i know) that the waiting period is 28 days, I know you are on your honeymoon, but try and find time to read through the relevant part of the thread and i am sure you would find the response you need. |
@funkybaby re: neksb It is her husband in possession of the ILR, not her. The student visa appeal she won enables her immediate entry into the country, if she applies via her husband's ILR, it would definitely take longer. Me still thinks she should keep her mouth shut. In comparison to the US lady story, note, she has won her appeal, hence she is only going to pick up her visa and hence has no more forms to fill in. I still think she needs a bit of advice (coaching) regarding whether she should tell or not though, due to this being "a change of circumstance" issue. |
pahtahkee:What do you mean by the above? You want me to give you a backhand slap abi? O boy stand firm, don't let them sway you o, we are right on this one pahtahkee:thats more like it, we are the champions, ![]() celebration, jubilation, all together, right now, yeah . As a matter of fact lord Vor hit the bullseye with his post summarised below,Also note the key phrase in par 7 (2) (b), states when the person outside the UK "is served", "not when the decision was made". VOR:Time limit starts from when you get served the ECO's decision, not when the ECO makes the decision. |
@neksbabay If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If they don't ask, don't tell. You were single when you applied for your visa yonks ago, you are just gonna be getting married this weekend. Make sure you get yourself fully informed regarding "change of circumstances" If you feel the need to spill. (congratulations on getting married) |
In Nigeria, your 28 days to appeal commences from the day you are called to pick up from the courier. (refer to 1st page of refusal notification for stamped date) pahtahkee: Ariston:CORRECT pahtahkee:CORRECT ty4real:CORRECT VOR:INCORRECT Akolawole:INCORRECT |
help anyone please where is the log out button again? been a long time, can't seem to find it |
Hi all, back from big brother sabbatical (methinks that was the same reason Mr Akolawole disappeared of the radar too ), big brother really sucked this year, didn't like the way Charley was treated, anyways it's all done and dusted. I hope y'all had a nice summer holiday.Congratulations to all the success stories in the house. Still trying to declutter my brain and have not really had the time to fully peruse the forum, but to kelly24 ~ if you missed the chance to include the document with the appeal/reconsideration bundle, i think you still have a chance to include it as part of further documents to be sent off or to take along copies to the hearing. I know that it would be permitted at the hearing. ~brownsugar ~1) For your solicitor to have been able to keep your case alive at the embassy for the past two years is no mean feat, and gives me the feeling that your solicitor is not a quack. 2) The Eco is legally entitled to consider a student's marital status to enable him determine whether they would return home after their studies under par 57 of the act, BUT, he was wrong to apply this to you, because this element of the law no longer apply to degree students as they are allowed to work for a year after their studies. 3) Grab Vor's offer of one on one help with all the might you can muster, such opportunity is rare as a hen's teeth. |
Yeah a two bedroom condo in motel 6 indeed. Ignorance is bliss. |
spoilt:WORD. @BABYOSISI Abeg, in UK when recruiters from USA and Australia come looking for nurses to poach, they often throw in perks of offer of free accommodation. @ all How many of y'all have used the "nothing to declare" exit considering the fact that you are only allowed to have circa £150 of duty free allowance. He who is without sin . . . |
It doesn't matter where you go, all record on file can be retrieved from any location. Just make sure you indicate yes where they ask if you have applied for a visa before. The way British law works is that as long as you fulfil the necessary requirement, you will get the visa. Hope you have familiarised yourself with the relevant paragraph 57 law though? |
Make sure you indicate that you have applied before in the relevant section, its just that your application would face more scrutiny due to previous record. You don't have to change your name or your passport (you can tell them your previous passport is lost if asked). There is no two ways about it, so as long as you satisfy the "paragraph 57 rules", you would get the visa. Every application is different and treated differently. |
neelsel:You call cheap insults and name-calling advice? I never argue with fools as people would not know the difference. You are the one that needs to take a walk off the gangplank. BY THE WAY, in the same topic where you presumed mrpataki's apology to be a sign of weakness, you concluded that Nigerian/African men are ugly baboon and monkeys, who live in jungle and whose women use bleaching creams SO WHY ARE YOU HERE? WHY DO YOU SPEND ALL YOUR GOD-GIVEN TIME ON THIS FORUM CREATED BY AND FOR UGLY MONKEYS AND BABOONS? |
@ SHOBABY Request for a reconsideration (decisions can be overturned in days) and lodge an appeal as advised, but you have to make it clear who the sponsor/s is/are. On paper your father-in-law was the sponsor but there was hardly anything in your submission to substantiate this fact. The fact that his details were submitted with previous applications does not mean that it should not be included again in future ones. By the way, why did you not apply for a 2-years multiple or even 5-years multiple entry visa when the previous one expired in may, if your hubby was on study leave from work he intended to return to? Your hubby coughs up £480pcm in rent, so how did you reach the conclusion that £6000 is enough for you, your hubby and your little one, to live a very comfortable life? Or was that supposed to read £6000 per calendar month too? |
davidylan:It takes less than one minute to find out whether someone can sing or not. |
It is under the culture board under the heading "Nigerian Men, Sex And Affairs: Non-nigerian Women Speak". |
Yes o, please spill the beans, we want to know what happened so that we too can know what/whom to avoid next time. ![]() |
Phew, thank God. It breaks my heart when I see someone whose heart is aching. |
The thread I am referring to was initiated by a bitter, twisted, scorned non-nigerian female of the species under the CULTURE board, headed "Nigerian Men, Sex And Affairs: Non-nigerian Women Speak" . Having gone through the thread with a fine toothed comb, Nigerian men (THE CULPRIT) were labelled as unfaithful liars and cheats, backward africans with backward thinking, backward behaviour and backward society, for whom exploitation and corruption and rampant poverty prevail, whilst the Nigerian women, the AFRICAN QUEEN ( mind you the only crime we committed was that we got the ring) were labelled thus gullible submissive fat uneducated chattels not independent stay at home to cook, clean and have children love of money housemaid dull in bed not strong-willed obey our man's every whim and fancy don' work brought up to think being a woman is a disadvantage dumb stupid scared of being labelled a promiscuous nasty LovePeddler stiff angelic christian wife thinks our p*ssy is on a pedestal desperate for love can't do better our men disrespects us our men puts us down we are crap in bed ALL THIS ONE TOPIC ON A NIGERIAN FORUM AS WELL !!! The annoying thing was that most of these lies were fed to them by Nigerian men. THE MIND BOGGLES INDEED. |
Quote from davidylan The larger market for music is the younger teenage group who are easily captivated not only by talent but are also looking for a role model in the artists they patronise. Unlike Melinda, Jordin is the kind of girl every teenage girl wants to model herself after, the kind of girl every mother would secretly want her daughter to look like. Errrrr, speak for youirself, no one wants their daughter to be a humongous uk size 16 on top and 14 below (US size 12 on top and 8 below). Size 0 is the in thing now ![]() |
I don't know why you guys keep on knocking the poor girl. What is wrong in trying to help others if you have the means to do so. It's not as if one is gonna carry the dual citizenship status to heaven so what is the big deal. I know loads of girls who have met guys via the internet, or met them through friends, and who have gone on to marry these guys within weeks. Some guys even do it too. They travel to Nigeria in December, either meet someone on the plane or in Nigeria, and the next thing you hear, it's February and these people are discussing their wedding. Some of these people do these things out of kindness whilst a few of them do it to cheer themselves up because they are sad, depressed or something. At the end of the day, it is better to give than to receive. When I was younger and single, I used to allow virtual strangers (from church/ friend of a friend/ someone's cousin/ someone who got kicked out, etc) to live with me without asking them to contribute anything in return, and without knowing them from anywhere. Some stole from me in the process, but the others were fine. |
Someone cited the case of Wayne Rooney's girlfriend's VAT issue, FYI, it was IMPORT DUTY she failed to pay, and was caught trying to leave the airport via the "nothing to declare" exit, like our Nigerian lady. Why wasn't she told to forfeit her possesion or put on probation too, cause she is a celibrity no doubt. All she was told to do was pay the duty she was trying to evade. As for the 95 odd % of contributors to this forum who are lambasting the poor woman for not declaring this on the landing card/customs form, how many of you go through the "nothing to declare" exit? How many people manage to fill the forms correctly? It is not even as if she would have had to pay import duty for carrying cash, so why can't people accept that it could have been an oversight. . Y'all just seem to be blinded by the fact that, that could have been her hard earned money, but instead choose to jump to the wrong conclusion that she was probably laundering money for some government. And as for saying she's educated and should have known better, what if she was one of those adult returners - people who return to study in old age aka matured students - how many graduates of Nigerian University are actually of "graduate calibre" despite spending years in University?[/b] |
@ topic $95,000 is not a lot of money, as a nurse she could have easily saved that over a period of ten years at the rate of $9,500 per annum. Had a friend once who used to moan about being tired of living in the UK. He was living in a rented accommodation and had no dependant. After doing an expenditure plan for him, from his income of £1000pcm, and outgoing consisting of rent £250; food £100; travel £50; bills £50; social/smoking £150; I told him if he saved the remaining balance of £400 every month, he would have £5000 in his account by the end of the year and £20,000 after 4 years. The US always try to entice British nurses over to the states every year and the salary packages is always around $60,000 with free accommodation thrown in, so there is nothing obscene for a nurse in America to be in possesion of that amount. |
fekuti:I ain't the one doing the nit-picking, mr admin wannabe. |
@razzy I HOPE I am wrong, but methinks a letter of offer from another educational institution could be construed as a change of circumstance - a blanket policy reason for refusal that does not have to comply with Paragraph 57 rules. I sugest you still go ahead and request from a different uni though, you might be able to argue that you still satisfy the law as it stands i.e. that the letter is a valid letter of enrolment. |
@presjany Whilst ruminating whom to consider as a sponsor, you can correlate the career/education change to the fact that your previous course of study at secondary/university differs from your current finance related career choice as a banker (if applicable). It is not a crime to have a career change or false start as the oyibos like to call it. Remember the story of Saul/Paul in the Bible? Oops, don't remember myself (God forgive me) |
@abi25 You need to quote the exact statement given for your refusal. @sparkle Don't forget the all important valid offer letter. Don't know what the wait is like to pick up a visa , but I am sure your sister would not mind spending the whole day there considering the fact that her appeal took months to be determined . |
Vicjustice:ahem, appeal was granted a while ago, infact a date for collection has been agreed if my recollection serves me right. What does reapplying afresh have to do with making an ECO understand how serious an application is? |
Guys don't grass on each other. (they would lie though if there was nothing to grass about and they wanted a piece of the action). You stated that your cousin had no reason to lie, so your next assignment after your exam would be to find out whether her man is looking out for you or for himself. As for London/Scotland being classed as LDR (under an hour by air for a budget of around £50) hmmn. |
luxoire:So many "buts", but none was a typho error. Your command of the English Language is very good, listen to the doubt/reservation/suspicion in your mind. N:B I know everyone's got a past and everyone deserves a second chance, but was he a flirt or is he a flirt? |
