I have been doing that
Scrolling through 500 pages isn't exactly easy

Why didn't the author close this thread and start another and link old threads.

Aside that..
I have not seen a post similar to mine all I see is visitor visa to join family members.

I stated earlier that I don't have any family member in Canada. I am not married n no kids.
I am simply applying to visit for 10 days as a tourist.
I said I have travel experiences
Europe, Africa, middleast.
I have a current UK n us visa.

This is my first time applying
A brief explanation of what documents to send as supporting documents will be appreciated.
It's information shared that people learn from

Also I see people talk of including SOP
Do I include a sop for a tourist visa with no family in Canada?

ditha:
If you go up a few pages in this section and in the student visa and sowp sections, you will how some people packaged their supporting documents and you will get an idea of what is necessary to add.

I am yet to get a respond for supporting documents for Canadian tourist visa

Thanks, I have now filled the form
But again
I am told to submit the "supporting documents" listed below
And thet are
A copy of my us visa
A copy of my nin
A copy of my passport document

Then there's supporting documents...

Any idea what documents I should include aside
Hotel booking
Flight booking
Letter of introductions from banks n my company
Cac/mou documents??


I appreciate in advance

This has been incredibly difficult to navigate.

I am applying for a tourist visa with no family in Canada
What option do I select, where it asks reason for applying for visitor visa??
Options there are mostly to see family or funeral or work..

Which do I select, or what's the right way to apply online.
I just created an account ie the c...key

Thanks for response

Where can i FIND new portal??
Or please share link

mojisolani:



Apply in the new portal, apply now that you have valid us visa because you wont be needing statement of account once you still have a valid us visa.

Depends on the airline.

Delta required a negative covid test even if you are vaccinated to and from the US.

Or

NotsonewMary:


Thanks for sharing. Please what is the current vaccination or COVID testing requirements for intending travelers to the US?

After years of building my travel history.

I am ready for Canadian tourist visa.

Please experts, what's the application process like and requirements?

Please this is page 500+, abeg I have tried to read the much I can
But I want the updated guide to applying from Abuja.

I currently have 5 years UK tourist visa, of which I have used 3 times since I got it last year,
I also have a valid us visa, I have used as well.
I have history of middleast, Europe as well.

Please I await your response.

And what account statement is needed for someone that owns a registered company.
Thank you all in advance

A journey that began on 23rd March, has finally ended.
I was refused and asked to come in on any Thursday for a follow up interview
I got there and was told to submit fingerprints.
Which I did and application changed to issued.
I picked up passport on 28th April in Abuja.
Same day I got a pick up mail from DHL.

Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences, it helped me mentally.
Cos this people are totally unpredictable.

I was able to fly out sane 28th.

Please guys what number do you call when your visa has been issued but dhl has not updated for 3 working days now??

I was refused n asked to come in for fingerprints, which I did and status changed to issued but my dashboard has not been updated, it still shows
Passport picked up.

I went to dhl abuja n they said the passport is picked up

Please what number do I call..
I have an emergency to travel next week

UPDATE!!!

I picked up from DHL abuja on Monday
And got a note to come to consular lagos any Thursday for an interview!!

I got there this morning and was told to come back at 1pm for thumbprint!

I am delighted that it was just biometrics.

Will update when u pick up with visa!!!

BizErikah:
Mogbe!!

Please what questions were asked in your follow up appointment

My status has now been updated to refused.

Whilst I wait for my passport and what detail they might need

Omo!! Congrats jare
I wish this was just me

I'm still seeing that "passport has been received from consular, preparing for delivery"

After I got refused yesterday..
I'm just worries I might not make my trip April 24th..

cdz:

First off, a big thank you to everyone who shared useful information on this thread concerning IW. I have been a silent reader for quite a while and here's my own account of the process:

Submitted on the 23rd of March at 6:30am

Application Received on the 23rd.
Case last updated on the 30th.

Administrative Processing on 4th April

Issued on 5th April

Received collection text and email on the 6th

Picked up today at DHL office at 10am.

Lessons learnt: If you're not in immediate danger of falling out of qualification for the IW, patience is the watch word. With some patience, you don't need to join a Telegram or WhatsApp group to get a drop off date. Visiting this thread frequently will help you scale that hurdle.

Once you submit your documents for processing, again, more patience will save you a lot of nail biting. Just let the process run its course.

Thanks again to all the helpful folks on this thread and good luck to the rest of the fellows on the visa trail.

Hold in a minute!!!

Did you fill that twitter handle in your ds 160
Where they ask for social media handle?

Lordkross:


When I read this link below sometimes last month or so ago I decided to take them up on Twitter, no be small thing.

I was fighting both PayPal, Stripe and the US Embassy at the same time.

I asked them to explain to me in simple terms why they first collect a nonrefundable fee of 67,200 and they issue days at their own discretion? Our discussion didn't last long before Twitter gave me the highest blocking ever

I had to return to my primary other handle tto be able to use Twitter again.

They know, they know, they're making money, and like I said, there are things he told me that I don't want to disclose. Remember, he asked me to go and update my application, pay the fee and just show up that it would be done at consular level.

Those that submitted on 23rd March
Have you received any pick up from DHL or gotten your Passport back?

Wow,

Are you sure, this person didn't hear when the VO told you, you do not qualify?

Lordkross:
So guys here's the kicker. A guy tailed me from the Embassy to my office (about 7 mins walk from the Embassy).

Note that when leaving the Embassy I told them I was successful, just to not make anybody feel uneasy with their interview, after all we all may never see each other again.

Just as I was about to enter my office premises the guy met me and greeted me.

"Good morning sir" I noticed your application was denied, we can help you reverse it."

I was shocked so I asked a few questions - to sum the whole story he told me I needed to pay another MRV and update my profile and leave the rest for them.

He also guaranteed me that I didn't need to pay any money until the Visa is out in 5 - 10 days.

Points to Note: I think the Embassy is deliberately denying qualified applicants Visas, after which they'll send some of their emissaries to try to convince you about the possibility of reversing their own decision(s).

The guy told me to pay for the new MRV and 1M to the consular and then 100k to him for his trouble.

There are other things I can't state here though because I don't know who is who, but today, I see clearly why people tell lies when they're going for any class of Visa - when does telling the truth ever helps anybody?

Ask yourself how a whole American Embassy go come out to admit that their interview systems had been hijacked by Visa Agents.

Omo, everybody dey corrupt for this country sha!

Should the case be an issue of passport when I pick up from DHL..

As I reside in Abuja, do I just post to the abuja office or simple leave it to dhl discretion to where to post it to..


Cos this is my 3rd dropbox and I've never defaulted in any way and I have other visas.

So I'm almost positive it's a passport issue as I snapped it by the roadside.

Dampops:
It depends…

The usual progression is from “application received” to “administrative processing” and then “refused” or “issued”…however, if the issue they have with an application is fundamental e.g. no biometric on record, old passport photograph etc…you may likely see “refused” immediately after “application received”

People that got refused when they tracked their application,

Was it from Application Recieved - Refused?
OR
Application Recieved- Administrative Processing - Refused

I am wondering if it could be passport issues??

I'll appreciate your response
Thanks in advance

fekeoshomoshi:
Today make 2weeks that i attended the followup interview, my application status remains on "Administrative Processing" since on the 17th of March.

what do I do?

So my dashboard is showing me
"Document delivery information "

And my tracking still shows
"Application recieved"
Case last opened is 5th April.

Does it mean it's with DHL?

Or is it just an error?

I am experiencing same issue

Also submitted 23rd March.

Dmj1881:
Really appreciate everyone here.

I submitted my passport since 23rd March but status still reading Application received.
Never over stayed or any issue. I know the duration is 2 months but..... anyone with a similar case?

Hi!!!
There are tg groups where members manually search for dates every 10 mins or so, it's like a roll call

You either join or pay someone to monitor and get you a closer date..

Though I didn't know of the tg prior to scheduling mine..but I paid someone to find me a closer date.

Payati:
Good day everyone...

Please, I reapplied for a US B1/B2 visa and for the IW appointment since 22nd February, 2022 immediately after I fill out and submitted the DS-160 form but since then it keeps telling me that “There’s no appointment available.”

How do I get an appointment and interview waiver(IW) as my B1/B2 visa expired in August 2020. Please, someone help a brother here. Thank you!��

Guys, abuja has been opened for IW appointments and

Please guys, you all are doing well, helping one another,

I have a question, please!

I submitted for IW in lagos on 23rd March, but I want to ask if you guys added supporting documents cos I see they made mention not to add documents that they didn't ask for

Is this still valid?

How much is 2010 audi q5?

justwise:


If you applied for 6months visa you will be issued 6months visa and nothing above it.

There are 6months, 2yrs, 5yrs and 10yrs visa categories.

If you are not a student, the seminar not related to your current job and your company not sponsoring the trip then the task you have now is to convince the ECO why this seminar is important to you.

Your salary rang is good and if the trip takes 2months worth of your salary then financial wise you are good to go.

I am a student with the school but i study and work..
It's an online course.
Ok thanks
I get your point.

justwise:


1. You can apply for 6months or 2yrs visa its entirely upto you.

2. Is the seminar related to your current job?

3. What is your monthly take-home salary?

So means if i appl for 6 mnths i get 6mnths n not anything above it??
And 2 years.. not anything below 2years??

It's an Mba program. . Just seminar relating to my school stuffs..n academics..

250k salary

i want to start by saying A Big thank you to the creator of NAIRALAND, i got info from here in how to apply for my US n UK visa in the past years.
I have come again for inquiries.
People with all sorts of opinion, please you are welcome.
Now.. my 6 months uk visa expired dec 2016.
I just recieved a mail from my online school at Cyprus.. an invitation to attend a seminar in london for august.. travel n accommodation to be taken care of by myself.

Now my question is.. do i pay for 6 months visa?? Will i still be issued 6 months or 2 years.. since it's my second application..and d previous was 6 months.
Or do i pay for 2 years??

I am working n intend to provide all work docs etc as i provided when i applied for the previous visa

I await your responses.
Thanks.
