@erico2k2 i use the appeal to be decide on paper so they will still send me a notification for the hearing date or they will just send me the determination??

they are meant to send you a notification of the date in same way as you recieved that leter from them, but if not pay regular visit to your local post office and you can also mail them to find out your application stats.or call them quoting your AIT refrence number

@STACYM
PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz,I'm on medication for tooth ache,I can't afford to laugh more  lol stop I beg you   

@segunben
tehy are basicaly waiting for teh Bundles from the ECo which they hardly supply,they ECO&ECM could be a right pain, but trust me, weather they supply it or not on that date, the hearing notificatio would be sent out, on your appeal did you chose Oral or verbal hearing>?I feel for your friend who invited you cos his invitation power has been scrapped, so now he cant even invite his Mum or Dad,cos someone refused to return.

dipo4info:
I wan't to travel to liberia by road if anyone have an idea he should help me pls

Can I ask you why you issueing urself a Life sentence? sup in Liberia?

@ seina
lol some of those routmasters are still in operation, and the remaining where Sold of for £5K,they are talking of bringing back an improved version of it back on the streets of London cos the bendy Buses are so crap,people even call them the free Bus lol

@ctrume
for starters whats ET,plz paddon my ignorance,there is no set specification to howmuch you must have in savings when applying to such catigory (VISITOR) all you had to do is convince the ECO you are going for the reason stated and your intention to come back to Nigeria,Now you have a well paid Job, thats a good start,now for the IV letter from a school address, does this letter contain the school's letter heading? does your friend live in an Hostel within the schools vicinity?

I have read fru all the topics on here,its full of questions and answers from people who are just coming to the UK or traveling abroadfirst time,SO I was thinking, what about those that want to regularise thier stay here,where do they go and ask questions,its a tricky one  and people don't like to come out of thier shells,SO for all you who have been here in the UK for some time and are looking of ways round to regularise your stay, here you can ask, i can answer few cos i went fru the system myself,those i cant answer,I'm sure there are Older hands on here who would,the stage is set, I hope and pray we benefit from this.

@segunben,
I just realised you sent it to ABJ, well I would have advice you to send it straight to london,but they would in turn send it back to ABJ,they will act faster on it cos its recorded from there and they have turn arround times target,hence they give approx dates of completing the whole procedure.You could Email them or cal them like I said,moreso,the ECM would have to look at all the available evidence B4 him, if he thinks the ECO has eered he would overturn the decci.there and then if not, he would send it to the AIT(Long Road)I note its nearly 3 months now, so contact them and see the ststs of the whole thing instead of just waiting.

I understand what you are going fru, not knowing what is going on, well my advice to you is ring that number provided with your refrence number in hand,
Trust me, the AIT might be slow but they dont abadon cases,they would end correspondence to you but its up to NIPOST to deliver it to you,so you have to keep checking with your local post office lol, i did al this as well

OgaMadam:
Hi,

Re the bold, i also just want to ask what my chances of receiving visa are but please read below:

-I want to go as a visitor (friends) I used form VAF1A for visitors, what may i ask my friends whom am visiting to put in that letter - thanks.

-I used to be a student (stayed for 8 years (completed my Ba Honours and Msc)

-I was asked to leave the country cause they refused to grant me (after my studies) a skilled migrants visa. so i took 8 months before leaving.
Its been 2 years since i last went to UK. now i want to go visit and get my valuables like books etc (although in truth i want to go and assess viabilities of returning.

-I intend to tell them the truth, and include all documentation from Home office re request for "immediate leave"

-Also, i lost my job in July. But have proof of income from sponsors from then to now. My job wasnt great paying but it put food on the table.
Is it better to include mothers bank stats or my own still. and just say i do temporal agency employment and last finnished in July


I know this is a lot but thanks.

Ps. also, must you buy a ticket before applying?

B4 I answer, may I just ask a question, this 8yr stay in gand, was it al legal?

This is SAD, I thought they where all Southern Africa?, dont they have same as we have in the WEST ECOWAS?

B4 U guys start praising him, have you guys noticed the Nigeria govt gave previlages to one person to import unbagged cement to Nigeria? and also the importation of things like suger and salt to just a few?ie our very Dangote?

@Castilia,
I just got in my house now its late and Im bout to go to bed, I will get back to you 2morrow from the office or when i get back home ok,stay blesed

@Castalia
Reason is cos you have just got a reason to go there, ie, you could state the occation on your application and they could in turn invite you and states dates,time and location of teh event in question.,by doing so you've just spread your tentacles lol dunno if spelt right.

Castalia:
Hi NL
Kindly help with your suggestions
I want to go to UK for about 2weeks in Nov/Dec. I considered applying for a tourist visa. I work in a manufacturing company & earn abt 1.4m per.annum, but i have a current account with a turnover of abt 15mil in 6months, from other businesses i do. I could keep as much as 1-2mil in the account if neccesary, and I could make and pay for my hotel reservation. I also av a dom acct wit abt $2000. My passport is virgin. How good (or bad)am I to go?

However, my brother and sister are having their graduation ceremonies about that time (december). My brother (Ph.D) and Sister (M.Sc) from 2 different Universities in UK. They could provide me with invitation letters for their graduation. Guess this amounts to family visit if i take this option.

Which option (tourist or family) do you consider is better and what are my chances? What do i need to do and know?

Family my friend.

@otokx
Cos that is the only part of the whole Network they can monitor with lil or no resources
@netotse
No I know I aint gonna shot myself in the foot, Immagine wha would have happened if the govt where responsible for the infastructure of the telecoms industry and the distribution where left with the likes of MTN and Glo lol ,the seenerio I just mentioned now is not seen in Nigeria yet just cos we have only wirelesss network which is xpenssive anywhere in the world and less reliable
In the Uk we have just two wired Network one use to be Govt and the other more recently private,BT (British Telecoms & NTL Now Virgn Media)this are the owners of the two wired network,everyone else has to rent thier cable.
During innitial consultation on all privatised public sector that involves per unit sale/distrib, there must be a price cap
by the Govt or comittee responsible for the deal,thats how it is in every country,Having said all that,the price cap is not definate as it is capped at a percentage ie xyz% depending on inflation,thats what happened in the case of telecoms in Nigeria during the then Momopoly of MTN

netotse:
go on, shoot yourself in the foot. . .tell us what happened in the telecoms sector. . .

lol Y would I shoot myself in the Leg,I was marely saying that things will unfold like the cast of the telecoms industry where compititors came in and tarrif went low plus service improved, Now regarding your argument with SKy blue,I think you are almost right but failing to name the process of power generation to distributiont,You mentioned National greed as just transmission,NO its actuall Generation and Transmission,there are 3 key elemtns here,Generation,Transmission and Distribution,now in the past Govt where responsible for doing all three of this fru NEPA PHCN ETc lol,Govt should have been left to just GEneration, but a the moment, I think someone is beginning to think straight,The have realized that they wann cut spending and leave the part of Distribution to the private sector,Read teh HEad Line its DIstribution the wanna licence and sell,Ie to the final consumer,
Now in one of your arguments i think you said Anyone can supply anybody power regardless of thier Geographical location, thats SPot on absolutely correct

I just hope this is not another Scam, just like the previos govt

@Dannyboy80
I can understand your fustration,this is exactly waht hapened to me when I was struggling with them some time back regarding settlemt VISA, Could you immagin the ECO refused me under one of these grounds,* You do not show how the kids mentioned are truely yours* lol all cos I did no include the Birth Certificate showing I was the named father.
Anyway to cut long story short,the Uk Govt are trying to cut cost hence they wont pay the Admin charges to go fru all your deails especialy the ones you have not provided proof or documented evidence of during your curent application,they wont go fru any refrence except the negetive ones which are stored localy,hence the term*THE BUDDEN OF PROOF IS ON TEH APPLICANT*Where you given the right of appeal? sorry I dont know much about this class of VISA, Im only tuned to settlement VISAs cos I went fru that personaly,if so gather all your facts but if not re apply again and include all these evidence you said the ECO refused to refrence to,if they are not in hard copies make them available in that format, and itemise all the Docs you provide,name and refrence them.hope this help.

@honerico01
No Im not trying to ignore the similarities, they are two diff concept, its like Murder and manslaughter, do they carry same offence code? NO
Well I know I said you could lose your house if you default but there is a backdoor to make sure this dont happen, you know if you buy a Car today by hire purchase, in 5 years time its value can never go up,it can only depreciate but with a house,, it could go up or down,nowif i bought a house 10 years ago for 10M with a paying period of 15 years at year 10 I can revalue it,if I know the value has gon up, i can sel and pay off my Mortgage and gain the diffrence which I wil now put towards a new mortgage and cos i have a new deposit, my new monthly repayment will be lower than the first, its more complicated than it sounds.
On the other hand, you cant do that with hire purchase,U remember how the credit crunch came into been?

Phew, I have been away from here , it feels like 10 years ago lool

@honerico01
Ok,now Im gonna go a lil deep,I hope you understand more this time why the aint near each other the term Mortgage and hired purchase,,The forma has what we cal Equity stuck with it, now this cant be positive or negetive, why the lata does not,now hope its a bit clearer.
Now as regard teh bank stricking a deal, how do you mean? and how does these translate into helping the common Man to get on the housing ladder? I like to know, and as for the *err* lose it all, there is the diffrence again, thats where equity comes in cos house prices are dynamic, goes up and down,there are loads you could do with your mortgage, ie,if you have a 20 yrs Mortgage,it means that at yr 10 you could release the equity in it if you re value it and discovered its positive(Remortgaging),you cant do this with hired purchase

Nop its very diffrent from hired purchase as the Houses are built by an investor and a Mortgage bank Borrows you the Money indirectly and pay the Builder in full then charges you a fee and work out the modalities for repayments.

honeric01:
Are you trying to say mortgage is only for salary earners?

Not at all, but its for those who earn reasonable money every month.ie constant money either by salary or Biz,cos there is penalty if you fall short of Monthly repayment and you could lose the House al together.

@honerico01
Well not in that sence, but the younger you are the better your Mortgage makes sence,let me Xplain if these houses are truely for Mortgage purposes,there would be a fixed value of the House ie lets say 5M,now if you just got a Job in a bank or a civil servent and you are 28,that means you got to work till 60 B4 you retire ,ie you got just 32 yrs to work and earn and pay, now devide 5M byt 32 years,that gives you howmuch you can pay 2wards your Mortgage and thats if its 100% mortgage,So these is one of the tools Mortgage banks would use in judging what your monthly repayments ammounts to,
So in contrast,howmuch you earn plays an important role plus how long you can pay ie earn,So you see, Age those play an important role in these biz, but if he aint doing all that and just selling the House offf in whole when its completed wether cheap or not, that aint Mortgage and its rather another tool to embesle govt money. eg MKO Gardens

@honeric01
Sorry to ask oh,are you more than 35 yrs Old?cos Mortgage maybe judged by howmuch you got left to work before retirement,if you are a salary worker and also howmuch your depositm is.

I quite agree with these last poster,We aint there yet for Mortgage,we live in a society where you get to your late or early 30 before you could secure a good JOb in NIgeria now of what good is a Mortgage to one at that age?

Right move FG
Wel everybody remember waht happened in our telicomunication sector.

@dlox01
You just answered my questions lol you ignorance is Xtreem and dangerus to ur kind,i told you that you wont ava clue to what Medical staffing in the NHS means lol,mayB GOOGle did no provide you with straight on answers lol or mayB your just foolish anough to comprehend and as for Escravos lol I assume you googled it and came up with those answers lol you dont realy know what it is appart from names of projects etc, and this confirms you never went fru the post or if you did, did you bother to look at the location where these women where staging thier protest? hence that poster asked if you knew waht it meant cos you are ignorant of the fact that its a location where people lived b4 oil was discovered in 9ja,I bet U never knew that and Oh, U never answerd the PORT question cos you defo dnt kno,
PS,U got shit 4 Brains, even though I aint lived in 9ja ful time, I stil move arround that country more than you can do in ur entire life time,my friend, get off ur opera mini and get a JOB

@dlox01
Another poster just asked you if you know the meaning of ESCRAVOS,I bet you dont, anyway let me think Im talking to someone under 32 yrs Old, thne I would permit you if you know nothing about National dev,I would suggest you go read up( Social stratification) btw, glad you recongnise the fact that there are more settlers in kano than lagos, and let me tell you one more thing,%90 of all major Rd in Lagos was Built by the FG,.and also you are now saying the nation's capital dont play a role in the development of its own town, well is that true of LONDON?
PS:what gives you the single though that I might be washing plates here? lol is that what you think Nigerians do here? with all credits to Nigerians here in the Uk, they have done very well for themselves,Loads are Doctors,lawyers,Engineers etc and just so you know,I work as a medical staffing ofice holder in the NHS,now you wont have a clue what that is and dont go thinking Im as old as your dada cos Im not have a look at my profile n you would see.
You saying Delta state has nothing to offer,very funny,I ask on behalf of the other poster, go and look up the meaning of Escravos and see waht Tank Farm means.appart from Oil can you tell me waht else that could kep Nigeria flooting in these times?and as regards Ports you never knew we have more Sea Ports in Delta State than Lagos state right? Ibet thats new to you,Your FG limited the rights for them to recieve vessels etc,learn your history very well man,dont come here flounting your ignorrance, its unhealthy kiling your rep, thats if you got any.

@ dlox01
I just asked you a simple question you could not give me a simple question,now if you have read all of my post you would recongnise that I never compared the two states,but then again let me point this out, I note your Location says Nigeria, I have not lived in Nigeria full time for the last 15 years but I dare say that Im intuned with it than you who lives there,Now i guess you never knew the highest numbers of interprenures comes from Eastern Nigeria, and you are talking about ports lol Howmany ports do you have in LAgos? do you know howmany ports we have in Delta state? I bet you dont know,Lagos was once the country's capital, what do you espect?Now let me remind you if the ammount of money pumped into lagos was pumped into the ND for development,what do you think the place would look like?Now you are quick to Jump in the mentioning of Ibori lol did he steal half of waht OBJ stole? or did OBJ do half fo what Ibori did for his town in his?,my friend let me advice you concentrate more on developing yourself therby developing your surroundings as well.Thats what we do where I live.

@ dlox01
I read the beginning of your post and thought it made sence then I got to the last bit and thought you never went to secondary school
Its talks like yours that is fuelling the Anger and hatred of the youths in the ND, look at how you comparism lies,Lagos V Delta, why wont you say that when all the money from sales of Oil was channeled to build our Nation's then Capital, not a bad thing but there aint no need to rub it in,I would like you to answer these question, name three contribution of Lagos to Nigeria as a whole,go on,let me see if you got a functional Brain,No worry, U need to be kidnapped
