Just go with the printout you got when you did your biometrics and your passport data page photocopy. I believe they were both stapled when you had your biometrics.

What date was your biometrics?

Mine was actually on the 14th. TLS Ikeja.

Although I got a response on paid mail yesterday that decision has been made.

No choice but to keep waiting.

Had biometrics on the 14th of Dec at Ikeja TLS.

Got a response on paid mail yesterday that they haven't made a decision yet on my application. It's going to be 15 working days by tomorrow. Still hopeful, but the wait is unsettling sha.

The visa stamp is the evidence that you've entered the country. That's what you'll show when you arrive UK to prove that you spent 10 days in Cotonou

Affam:

I do not understand...will like to know the significance of the stamping cos I am yet to understand this whole process...

You have a point. Although I was thinking it will be faster now due to the suspension on visit visa

DafePeejay:
Best guess is that they're unable to meet up with the timing stipulated for priority services, as they have way too many applications than ever. So are being truthful with the fact that no application will be concluded as fast as the timing they stipulated. No visas have been issued faster than 9 days in the last month(s).

Trying to book an appointment today and noticed the priority and super-priority visa option has been suspended. Anyone else seen this?

Thanks a lot. I'll proceed and self sponsor. Will keep the house updated on the progress.


Fisherlala:


Since you didn’t bridge the conditions of your previous visa and I presume you have not changed job then with good salary and reasonable bank account you should be able to sponsor yourself.
If you are going for tourism as an adult it will only make sense if you sponsor yourself.
I also don’t like the invitation thingy except if you are a child or it’s your spouse sponsoring you because your sponsor finances and relationship will be put into consideration and they will also check yours too so it’s like double assessment to me.
Travel / Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by ecton(m): 8:19pm On Apr 15, 2021
Hello Gurus in the House. Please I am trying to apply for a 2 years visa and I need some pointers.

I have visited before in 2019 with a 6 months visa sponsored by my work company and I spent 1 week. I later visited again with the visa during Christmas in 2019 and spent 1 month with my uncle over there. Went for his PhD graduation and spent the holidays there.

Now I am trying to apply and self sponsor. My Uncle is no longer there as he's done with his program and back to Nigeria.

My question is if self sponsoring will decrease my chances of getting the 2 years visa or if it would be better to find someone there that will send me an invitation?
Travel / Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by ecton(m): 5:01pm On Dec 01, 2019
The host is aware. Thanks for the response. I appreciate.

omopapa:
As mentioned by @giselle237 make sure your host is aware of your arrival date and y’all shld be on the same page as to where you will be staying. You don’t have any problems except that they might want to drill you at the point of entry. Your confidence and how you present yourself to answer the questions matters a lot. Be composed, look them in the eye, smile and answer what they ask.


giselle237:
If u have a valid visa u are free to visit.. just make sure ur host is aware that they are going to be housing you for that period and that’s all.

Hi everyone.

I have a valid Uk multiple entry visit visa which I used for one week in October and the visa expires in April next year. I want to visit again this December to attend a family member's PhD graduation ceremony and also spend Christmas and new year holiday there. I'll be going with an invitation letter from the graduand and he will also be accommodating me. The total visiting duration would be about 3 weeks + (trying to get a decent fare rate in this rush period).
My worry is if there's any policy on returning visits or if there's a limit to the duration of visit, especially for a second visit.

There's no further proof needed to prove that this man is mad.

Attacking a Catholic Archbishop is nadir of thuggery and stupidity.

Foreign Affairs / Mugabe Finally Agrees To Step Down As Military Holds Him Hostage by ecton(m): 3:41pm On Nov 15, 2017
The Zimbabwean military has taken over the country's capital, Harare, in what it has described as a "bloodless correction".

Report has it that no less than three explosions were heard in the city by morning of Wednesday, November 15.

Fresh report from Zimbabwe has it that President Robert Mugabe may have succeeded in negotiating with the country’s military for his wife to leave for neighbouring South Africa in return for his giving up power, possibly on Friday, November 16.

The Bulawayo24 quotes a security source as telling the African News Agency that Mugabe, 93, will announce his departure from power at a press conference.

Sky News is however reporting that Grace Mugabe fled to Namibia. "Mugabe has negotiated for Grace to leave the country while he prepares to step down. Press conference tomorrow afternoon. Soldiers indeed have the president and his presidential guard under siege. Zimbabweans are urged to stay away from the CBD tomorrow," the source said.

Recall that Mugabe fired his deputy, Emmerson Mnangagwa, in a move that was widely seen as a plot meant to clear the path for his wife, Grace, as his likely successor.

The country's deposed vice-president has however returned from exile.

Crime / Man Narrates How He Was Robbed After He Entered 1 Chance Bus With Female Robbers by ecton(m): 12:11pm On Oct 23, 2017
A Facebook user by name Courage Ngele has come out to narrate how he was unfortunate and fell victim to the Popular Lagos commercial bus robbery A.K.A “One Chance”.

According to him, he boarded a bus at second rainbow with three female and two male passengers already onboard in a bid to meet up with his friends, little did he know that he had stepped into the lion’s den. While the bus was in motion he was robbed at gun point in broad day light and was disposed of his possessions.

Below is what he wrote on his Facebook timeline;

“Dear friends, y'all need to be careful out there in this period of the year, especially those in Lagos city. Today, at about 15:00hrs, I was at 2nd rainbow and needed to go meet up with a friend at Sanya Bus-stop, from where we'd head to Ikotun.

It started to rain, so I got into a bus. Inside the bus were 2 women, a young girl, and 2 young guys. Long story short, it happened that I was the only stranger in their midst.I got robbed at gun point between coker junction and Sanya B/stop along Oshodi/Apapa express way. It was raining.

Those lazy retarded f**tards pointed a gun to my head. They took my phone, my wrist watch, $200 and the 7k in my wallet, before pushing me out of the vehicle. I'm alright really. I'm not hurt, just angry.”

Politics / See The Food Nigerian Government Is Giving To School Children [watch Video] by ecton(m): 11:13am On Oct 22, 2017
A video currently trending online has shown a woman cutting a N50naira loaf of bread into four places to feed four school children with stew.

The person who recorded the video said:

"Nigerians, this is what the government is giving the children and they are shouting out loud that they are giving pupils food. See a N50naira bread that is being cut into four pieces for four pupils, one each.

"And the funniest thing is, this bread you are looking at, the food seller will go to the school board to collect the bread while she prepares the stew. And she will bring the bread and cut into four for each pupil. Now that is the bread, let's look at the stew that they are putting unto it.

"They cannot even prepare egg or to talk of fish stew. See what they are preparing, madam, open it let's see.

“That is the soup that they prepared. Can you see? So, madam, put example of what you are going to give a child. Let me see the way you are going to serve it. Okay, can you see? Is this enough to feed a child for a day? And the government will be shouting that they are giving pupils food. Nigerians, it is time to raise this out.

“Let's join hands together to make this country great. This should not be, this is a poison to our children. It is better for them not to give than to be serving the children this kind of food. Nigeria, let's shout it out, thank you all."

Politics / Justice Binta Nyako Threatens To Withdraw From Nnamdi Kanu’s Case by ecton(m): 10:16pm On Oct 17, 2017
Justice Binta Nyako of an Abuja Federal High Court has threatened to withdraw from the ongoing trial of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

Speaking during today’s trial, the trial judge predicated her threat on what she described as attempts by the defense to frustrate her.

Justice Nyako’s warning came, following series of arguments between herself and counsels to the IPOB leader.

The argument ensued when Ejiofor was speaking on a motion he planned to bring before the court, but whose content had not been listed by the judge.

The judge, while reacting to an application by Kanu’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, said she had been pushed to the brink by the defendant’s counsel and would recuse herself.

“If you don’t want me to continue in this matter, I will recuse myself.

“I told you that the matter is not yet before me,” said Nyako while stressing that the defendants were making the matter difficult.
