Pls help me with the paid mail email address biko

Send a paid mail, they will get back to you in two working days telling you the status of your application.

After 25 days, I got an email for a telephone interview on Tuesday the 31st of August, but they didn't call. I had to send a paid mail on Wednesday the 1st of September. Got interviewed on the 2nd... the reply from the paid mail came on the 3rd which explained the status of my application. Thus, "Application status decided ". Yet to get a decision mail though. Praying for a positive outcome. �

justwise:
Are you planning to cancel after the visa is out? If you have a place to stay then i suggest you avoid making a reservation and cancel when visa comes out because it could backfired on you at the POE

Regarding your first question..since this is a family trip you and your hubby can spend two months of your salaries each.

Kindly check the website again, this is different from the Uk website/interface we used few months ago.

1.) You can use invitation letter if the person living in the Uk is ready to accommodate 4 of you, have enough space to accommodate you, ready to send invitation letter, data page, account statement+ payslip(if she will be taking care of feeding as well).


2.) Submit the treasure bill certificates, 6 month payslips(yours and your husband's), account statements(both), ensure you have (flight money of 4) and extra in your saving accounts, and present it. No lodgement of money please.

3.)Ensure the money you intend to spend(budget) is not up to 3times your monthly salary(per person). You are to fill a form per person, you are not filling one form for all. You will fill 4 online forms in this case.

Do a cover letter to explain your budget; flight ticket+Transport+feeding(put nil if it will be provided)+shopping+SightSeeing; ensure this is done for each of you separately, no high budget please.

Mention where you intend to take the kids to, for sightseeings, at least 2places around the location you intend to stay

4.) Cool

5.) Family application should be submitted and scanned separately(attended to together) on the same day of appointment.

Make copies of your documents (original OR photocopies per person), all documents will be scanned and returned to you.


6.) Include this(travel history) on the form


7.)As mentioned earlier: Ensure the money you intend to spend(budget) is not up to 3times your monthly salary(per person)

If N50,000 is assumed to be your monthly living expenses:
N256,000 - (50,000) = N206,000.
N206k is your disposable income when you minus monthly living expenses


Or your monthly salary is N256k as mentioned, and monthly living expenses is N50k
Budget of the form shouldn't be more than 2*N206k =N412k(on your own form or breakdown analysis (cover letter))

Your Husband should do the same; i.e 2*(N260k-N50k) budget

For your kids; is there any travel allowance(for family pleasure) from your office, that's good. Get a letter as regards that from your place of work(this can be used to cover the kid's expense/ or if you have enough to cover their expense in your saving accounts, good, convince the ECO the money in your savings is readily available to take care of your kids' expenses(on the cover letter)

8.) It should with proofs

Kindly attached Landed property documents if there is any
Get letter from the kid's school, add their school fees receipts, birth certificates, etc.

Kindly wait for the Guru in the house to advice you more.

Though, I applied this, My Two kids & I were given Visas by God's Grace, few months ago.

Don't forget to check the website again if it's the real one.

Good luck.

Only you can answer all the question asked in that form because nobody here know how much you spend monthly for family or how much your hubby gives you for family up keep.

!. use hotel booking if you can afford it for all traveling or use IV from your aunt and include other documents from her.

2. Submit it with the TB papers and explain how the account is managed regarding the TB.

3. You have to do the budget for the trip so as to be able to answer that question, calculate the cost of flight ticket for all traveling and other expenses eg(hotel accommodation for 4) etc

4. The kids application will all have the same info apart from their names then use the blank space to explain that its a family trip.

5. Submit all the same time

Ok, What was your visa purpose? Visiting or birth?

priscai:
I just sent u an email.

priscai:
We had same issue yesterday my husband was turned down cos of discount on itemized bill, I had my baby the first oakbend and second west houston, the Vo said they dont have problem with oakbend not withstanding the itemised bill shows same discount like the one we got from west Houston but the west Houston discount was on red flag.
Meanwhile I was so upset yesterday that I put a call to the hospital for suggestion and reason of denial linked with using west Houston, we as well send them a long e mail, it wasnt funny at all all.
They lady said they got a lot of calls these days on that they are working on it, meanwhile they have a new letter which addresses this purpose and if they be any reason of doubt the embassy should give them a call.

I am yet to get this letter for them as she promised sending it today.
I advice u give them a call too so they can put your request in line with others as we await their response.

Yetty22:
One agent told me they can get an early morning appointment for December at an extra cost... But is it advisable I give it another try

Niksie:
221G follow up interview done last week (Lagos embassy) (after dropbox attempt)

Note: previous visa was approved for vacation purpose shortly before I found out about pregnancy (so close that the discovery was a coincidence with the interview week (after interview)…) but never got to use it for vacation before birthing so I decided to do the notification of intent letter then and got the usual response from them.

Purpose of renewal is for vacation at this time.

LONG POST ALERT!!

VO: Hello, good morning with a smile.
US: fine thanks and u?
VO: where are you travelling to?
US: …
VO: WHERE WOULD YOU BE STAYING?
US: at a hotel though I have a sister over there (he then asked: would you be staying with your sister then? NO)
VO: WHY ARE YOU GOING ON THIS TRIP?
US: VACATION BASICALLY
VO: HAVE YOU BOTH TRAVELLED BEFORE AND WHERE?
US: I HAVE TRAVELLED ALONE TO … WHERE I ALSO STUDIED BEFORE BUT HUBBY AND I HAVE BEEN TO … AND USA.
VO: was it MSC and what did you study there?
VO: what do you do for work and where do you work?
BOTH ANSWERED
HE SAW THAT WE HAD BOTH WORKED IN SAME PLACE BEFORE HUBBY CHANGED TO ANOTHER JOB THEN WE SAID YES AND ALL LAUGHED OVER IT.
AT this point, I was wondering if no question would come up about previous birth in the US then… (I also declared childbirth at POE at the time).
VO: OKAY SO MADAM I NOTICED YOU STAYED LONGER THAN YOUR HUSBAND ON THE LAST TRIP.
ME: YES BECAUSE WE HAD A BABY!
VO: OH YOU HAD A BABY! HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY?
ME: about USD …. , WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THE BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES?
VO: YES PLEASE WITH A SMILE
VO (WHILE I WAS RETRIEVING DOCS): WHEN DID YOU HAVE THE BABY?
ME: DECEMBER 2016 and handed over the docs. ( I made sure to include the notification of intent I had sent before my trip with their response).
VO: OKAY… THEN LOOKED THROUGH THE DOCUMENTS AND SAID… (AS HE WAS FLIPPING THROUGH, I WAS TELLING HIM WHAT EACH DOCUMENT IS ABOUT AND HE WAS NODDING.)

OKAY MADAM, THE SELF PAY PACKAGE GIVEN BY THESE HOSPITALS ARE NOT WHAT THEY CLAIM COS THEY GET TO MAKE UP FOR THE ADJUSTED PAYMENT SOMEHOW (referring to govt and taxes here).
He said who gives such a huge amount as discount? He said he knows this may not be our fault as it’s what we were told.
ME: Exactly as this is the information that was provided for uninsured patients at the hospital.
VO: how much do you think people who have insurance pay in the US?
VO: and how do people who live in US without insurance pay?
ME: smiled and looked surprised.

At this point, he had briefly gone through all the package agreement letter and bills I presented and I was wondering so what next? I was skeptical to show him the itemized bill at first because of what I have read here about the itemized bill misleading Vos.
I then asked him if he would like to see an itemized bill, he was willing and said yes please. He looked through it and still confirmed the huge adjusted amount which he was already expressing his dissatisfaction about but zero balance ended it lol.

He emphasized that he knows it may not be our fault but we should be well informed now in case of next time then said DON’T WORRY, I’LL BE APPROVING YOUR VISAS. (with a smile).

US: WOW THANK YOU SO MUCH.

VO: gave us the white paper….and asked if we would be using this visa for birth anytime?
Me: I said not yet but we may decide to when the need arises so long as we can afford the bills.
I then decided to ask him if we need to get another visa for birthing when that time comes or if we could use same.
VO: if you do notify us the way you did before, we may ask you to come in to show ability to pay your medical bills (i.e full without adjustment)… or you may decide to proceed also at the discretion of the POE officials.

Some key points I realized:

It is definitely better to declare birthing intention to them at the point of visa application and POE as the case maybe.

Same time, there was another couple in same renewal after childbirth situation that was denied by another VO. One of the things I heard the VO say to them was: WHAT DID YOU TELL THEM YOU WERE GOING TO DO AT POE? HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY? (I heard them reply with the amount). THE VO sounded angry and kept drilling them too on the same discounted self pay package matter and ended up denying them the visa!

Also, these Vos definitely handle cases differently. Some are more patient and willing to understand than others. Despite the fact that the VO that attended to us had the same view about the self pay package, he did not deny us based on that.

Overall, you can only do your best and be as truthful and transparent as possible and it’s up to them how they take the final decision.

Wish you all the best!
