Thanks...
Was there today at 8am but was asked to come back tomorrow say numbers have been booked.

Anyone going to vfs should be there by 5am or latest 5:30am

Chimooooo, SA has now become a gold. omg

Note: For group/family applications; each applicant is required to have these documents

Does that mean i will have to get my bank to print for me the same bank statement for as many applicants i want to travel with in my family or i should do one and make photocopies?...

Pls advice

Thanks in anticipation.

is on hold and will expire in 23 hours and 59 minutes...
Please remember to book your trip before you lose this great deal!
I just booked reservation but the above is what i got from two airlines which is scary because i believe it will be canceled within 72hrs of no payment. Can anyone help with the best flight reservation and hotel reservation advice.

2. Do i need to pay for the hotel

3. Names of Org or persons you will be contacting during your stay in the Republic? what should we put there? Should we mention that my relative details? Pls advice.

Powerful house, pls i need your help.

Thanks for your assistance

MsTiitii:
There are some hotels on booking.com, that offer free cancellations. Have you checked for that?

Yes, this same hotel offers free cancellation as well. pls what for you suggest?
thanks

cheldas:
MadamG, na booking.com i go ooooo and i don't see the option of the one that accepts booking without payment na so so reserve i dey see or maybe i didn't look well.
Yes, my hotel booking date is tally with the travel date everything in april.
Now should i cancel the hotel booking, request for a refund and look for another hotel when I'm not expected to spend any money BEFORE i get visa?
Also, should i go ahead scheduling another appointment or i hold on for a while? I'm asking this based on the drop-box issues i had recently. Hope this will not look or sounds desperately. I have mission in Lagos in few week time so I'm thinking of doing everything together same week I'll be visiting Lasgidi
What's your suggestion my people?.
Thank you all

Pls whole house, help me by answering my questions.
Thanks

LadyGuinivere:
You are doing everything wrong
1. You can book for an accomodation without paying. You just take a look at the options and choose the one that accepts booking without payment.
2. You are not expected to spend any money BEFORE you get your visa (though you will get the money back when you cancel , with a surcharge), so yes, iin my own opinion, I would see your efforts as trying too hard.
3. A hotel booking is supposed to coincide with the travel date and not interview date abi? So that is what you should be considering

@wiseoldman the 'pay at the hotel option ' is actually better , in my opinion. See nos 2 above for the reason

MadamG, na booking.com i go ooooo and i don't see the option of the one that accepts booking without payment na so so reserve i dey see or maybe i didn't look well.

OmoBendel24:
Pretty sorry, there's 99.9% chance you will have to cough out another NGN54,400.00. In essence, that money is pretty likely gone unless they have readjusted its consequences in recent times(because I believe there should be an influx of such complains/mistakes, and it will only be fair if such issues are looked into with another and much more favorable eye really, very unfortunate place to find one's self).

You are right OmoBendel24,
MadamG, BabaSey, Whole House, i had to cough out another money this morning when i got their mail.
I wouldn't have coughed out another payment but the hotel i booked online has charged my card. Now i have another receipt with me(NGN54,400.00paid), should i go ahead and book or i should wait a while before i schedule appt because my hotel bookings starts next month. Hope all these won't seems like desperation, I just don't want the money they debited on my card go just like that without utilizing.
Pls help your boy.
Thanks

LadyGuinivere:
Sir. U need to realise that technical issues can only be remedied by the embassy. Face them sqaurely now.
However, if the error came from your part, then you have lost the money

Ha, MamaG full of experience, you are so right that it could be technical issue from their end as you have just eased the tension of 54k comot for ma body. I've sent mail to them this morning.
Thank you so much, I'll keep you posted.

Mr seye, mamaG, whole house, pls does my mistake has any correction by sending them email tomorrow or the 54,400 is gone? I made mistake clicking on yes for the option of have you been previously issued us visa. I got to know this when the confirmation pages showed me drop box page.
pls do let me know if you have had any story of such before and what are the possible steps to be taken. no one is above mistake.
thanks and hope to hear from everyone.

Hello house, mama g and Baba west,
I was at Lagos on Tuesday morning but unfortunately i was late and missed the apt time so they gave me Tbl. Now they told me to check the page back by 72hrs and now i tried to book another appt but its telling me "No valid record can be found for the entered receipt number. Please validate that your receipt number is correct and that you have paid the correct amount for the visa which you are applying for."
I put the correct number.
Pls house what am i missing and is there still any hope that they are going to unlock my receipt? Though, i've sent a message to but decided to back home to ask my people in the house.
Pls don't say my wahala too much.
Thank you all in anticipation

LadyGuinivere:
@cheldas, I apologise but it will be unfair of me to remain quiet. You sound confused and still have not gotten it. You want to cancel your alication because of another person's transcript? Do you have the same circumstances, did he hve a history of misrepresentation? Was his wife refused earlier? Now without deling with your ish that is hanging over your head, you want to cancel your application and add your wife. Well , mayb na cos 50k na big money to me...

Trust U mama Agba,
I'm going to deal with my ish. for mama to respond in this manner shows she follows everyone's post on every thread. May God continue to grant you more wisdom knowledge and understanding to proffer solution to people's problems. U r blessed mama ooo
is this response good if vo should ask
Vo: why are you not traveling with your family?
Me: she is working on a tv program where by her clients can bla bla on local channel before proceeding to cable channels and also she breastfeeding at the moment. Pls, if there is any additional i don't mind or better way to express that angle.
Thanks a mil mama G and seyewest.

seyewest:
To be honest sometimes people with ties are denied visit visa and most time the denial stem from lack of research,presentation and communication... If you keep changing what you want to do then you will lose focus.
You should check your pros and cons against each other.
Be honest with yourself.

Thanks baba west.
* You should check your pros and cons against each other.*
does that refers to me and my wife? if yes thats not the issue cos she hasna clean record. then does that now mean we should both apply together or I should go on with my own vac because she is still breastfeeding my baby and is this a good reason for her not to go with me if she can still go I can pay for her and my baby. just need your final advice before I cancel my appointment.
Thanks

HAPPY NEW MONTH TO YOU ALL
All march applicants shall march into their success interview(AMEN)

here I am again.
this is a friend's transcript

usual greetings BTW d 2

vo. where are you going in the state
frnd. NY and plan to visit bla bla bla

vo. where do you work
frnd. ...teaching hospital as bla bla bla

vo. how much do you earn
frnd. i earn 166k but I do poultry biz as well that sum it to 275k which was filled on ds160.

vo. are you married
frnd. yes, happily married and bless with 3 kid and he said he mentioned their names and ages

vo. I can see you have booked so so so hotel, how did you come across the hotel
frnd. I got it through online.

vo. sorry you bla bla bla


Now @ the gurus in the house pls where does he get it wrong and what could have happen?
he came to show me the hotel he booked from booking.com its $675, could it be that other hotel is cheap or what?

........the reason for this q is that I'm thinking may be I should cancel my appointment and apply with my wife and newly few month old baby as family. remember my wife was denied in ausg and sept on childbirth level.
Now I'm thinking how can a man go on vacation alone without his family could that be the cause?

The fear of 54,400 is now the beginning of wisdom.

PLS HOUSE I'LL APPRECIATE YOUR SUGGESTION.
THANKS ALL...

seyewest:
I'm not a madam I'm a man and also saying you're spamming the thread is not an insult.. I understand you want people to answer your question as soon as possible but you've posted the same questions more than once that is spamming and I have no reason to insult you.. Hope we are clear on this issue sir.

Appreciate you guys for your wonderful jobs well done.
My next post will be testimony.
Thanks.

seyewest:
In my own opinion you're spamming this page... I have no idea what to say in your case because most time student are usually escorted by their parents or school officer... read back and do your research.

Ha madam seyewest, I don't disrespect people and never will insult you. Before you can call someone a spammer, first of all go thru all my post and read carefully all my questions both on this page and on other forum. I said I'm still in school final year student and how do I fill my form to date cos it doesn't accept sept 2017. Also, I own my business with three branches as well which I asked question abt how to fill the income part and as a banana plantation farmer. I just need to enlightened and not to be called a spammer pls get that straight and if you can't save a soul you better keep mute than to insult.
I also ask if I should print my company statey with my personal statey or just personal cos I don't know if I'll be asked of it.
All I need is to be educated because I've applied before and got denied via agent and this time around I'm trying to do it myself and I believed there is no harm in asking series of question to avoid costly and silly mistake.
Pls help me out, just want to know if I should ignore the student aspect of it and keep to being a biz man but the fear is if I'm asked have I acquire any degree since 2011 that I was denied student visa.
Thanks

@seyewest, ladyG, all, Need help pls. Oh yes, I'm still in school so pls help me how i fill it up till date. Also, do you mean i start from University-Secondary OR Secondary- University? Do I print company's bank state or personal or both? I'll be waiting. Thanks

LadyGuinivere:
Plese fill just university. Bank statement for what? Who needs it?

MamaG, I'm still in school so how do I fill it till date? Don't I need to take along with bank statement? Thanks in anticipation ma.

seyewest:
Normally if you read up the thread you will find answers to your question.. 1) No need to put anything for passport book number 2) You must fill your combined monthly income in local currency even if you're a business owner. 3) Yes tell them your role as owner and business man and explain your role... letter of introduction is not necessary but you may bring it along if you want. 4) Start with your University/poly degree... oh are you still in school?
