Brother i sent you a request please

Where? You can resend. I just changed my nairaland email

Chiggsglover:
That's soooo long oooo, I feel it's best for you guys to go to Abuja ooo, before you go, write, call and disturb them. If it's Canada now, I for understand o.

We have called and called and called more than 30 times, they kept saying they will notify us once there is a decision. My wife's own has been issued about nearly 2 months ago and she has traveled. My anger is we have an 11 month old baby who is here without the mother for 2 months now.

At a time the last email they replied was on October 3rd 2019. The last call to the Embassy last two weeks,they said they had some changes in personnel and processes but that someone has been assigned to look into our case.

Even somewhere in September, they said my first son who is 5years plus and VFS didnt capture his biometrics should be brought to Abuja for biometrics. We brought him to Abuja, yet the VFS couldnt capture him as their system was programmed to capture 6years upwards. We had to contact the Irish consular while still there at VFS and they told us to go back to our base that they will make an exemption for my son while they will come back to reprogram VFS system.

The last person we spoke with whom I guess is a Nigerian working at the Abuja Embassy, told us to exercise a little patience as he wouldn't want the oyibo in charge of our application to feel he is being pressured which may affect the decision.

That's where we are stuck. We don't know what they are waiting for and how long they will wait for it. They didn't ask for any further documents or clarification. It's 16 weeks now

olajimii:
It all depends on how direct your case is. Everyone's case is different.

I agree with you. Our Join family application has been at the Abuja Embassy of Ireland since July 25th, 2019 till this moment. They kept saying application is still undergoing some checks. This week will make it 16 weeks for us

Hi am also a nurse and a silent follower of the thread. Congrats to your wife n I wish your family the best.

I also got an employment and applied for my visa since 5th of September which is not out till date.

Please how long did ur wife wait before her visa was approved.

8 weeks

Hello Everyone.

I have been a silent reader on this forum. Most of the posts I see here are for study visas. Actually my wife is a nurse and got an employment with one of the biggest private hospital in Ireland after obtaining her nursing PIN. The hospital got her a critical skills employment permit which enables her to apply for visa with her family immediately, which we did on the 24th of July 2019. My wife's application was for employment while that of me and our four kids were for join family. My wife's visa has been issued and she traveled to Dublin to resume work but the embassy is yet to release ours. They said the application is undergoing some checks and next four days makes it 3 months whereas they said visa application will take about 8 weeks. Our application is being processed at Abuja Embassy.

It's because they earn a living with their bodies. So any broke and unemployed man doesn't deserve them QED

Nice piece

Tell them

I dey your back bros. I am an aspiring pilot too. Currently doing my EASA PPL in Dublin.
Please Mods, give us an aviation section on Nairaland, it will be very educational and interesting at the same time

This obviously looks like the Boeing 737-500, and for the records despite the software issues for 737 Max 8,9 and 10, the 737 family of Boeing aircraft and Airbus A320/321 remains the most widely used narrow body aircraft in commercial airline services

folarr:
As of now they have 3 Bombardier CRJ's

That's nice they are getting there small small. They should consider Boeing 737s. The CRJs at least are more recent than the Douglas MD83s that Dana Air is using which are as old as my father

They are recruting captains and first officers with just one Bombardier CRJ 900 aircraft they have. Who has been flying the aircraft before now or are they looking at acquiring more aircrafts?

Ordinarily Ibom Air is not supposed to operate scheduled flight services just with one aircraft. It is not practiced anywhere in the world. They should only be able to do charter services. There will be a lot of stress on the aircraft and assuming there is an extensive maintenance scheduled for the single aircraft,it means all flight operations will be suspended. Sometimes I look at NCAA and laugh at the joke of regulatory body

At least they should acquire some Boeing 737-300,-400 or -500 from 1990s which costs between $3.5m to $4m. They should be able to do that being the highest oil producing state. Even if they can't buy, there are lease options for aircrafts which runs from $2,500 per Business hour and maximum of 180hrs per month.

In the absence of that,I think they might just be joking.

GAZZUZZ:
Nah lie!!! They all are

Boss man even you?

perryy:
My brother, believe it oooo. People told me same thing in 2010 but I ignored it and went ahead to marry a nurse. I'm still regretting my action. She was bringing men to the hospital to sleep with her overnight.

I am really sorry at your predicament but I won't generalize this issue. I married a nurse 8 years ago and till now she is the best thing that happened to my life. Give me the opportunity to marry 10 times and I will marry her over and over again

You sound like a professional quitter, that's what came to the VO's mind. You'll quit your current business again when things go a little down, and likely quit your prospective study when you land in US. Nothing personal, just an observation that you should look into.

so what's your advice?

I was denied today at Lagos. Transcript goes thus;

Me: Good morning
VO: (didn't reply) Asks for passport and i-20
Me: Passed on requested docs
VO: Why M-1 visa
Me: Its vocational training (Aircraft Pilot)
VO: What do you do?
Me: Am the managing director xyz firm and we do business
VO: What do you sell?
Me: Office and Home furnitures we import and clear too
VO: Cuts in...Why study aircraft pilot now?
Me: I don't have sponsorship and program is quite expensive, so it took me time to be financially prepared for this since I am financing myself
VO:What do you want to do with the training?
Me: I want to work as an ATP (Airline Transport Pilot)
VO: You import cars too?
Me: I used to but business wasn't favourable so I quit
VO: Reaches for and hands me a blue paper and you know the rest.


Note: I went for B1/B2 Last year June and was denied. then I wrote car importation and sales as major business. I waited for one year before enrolling for a flight training school so that this car dealer thing won't pop up, but it still did. I guess that reason for denial. I am going to wait for a month and try again. My Pilot program starts on October 1st

I am having my interview tomorrow August 4th for M-1 visa, I pray it can only get well. I am going for my PPL

Mandrake007:
I stopped traveling by air domestically since 2015 after a terrifying incident onboard dana,it happened before with arik I thought it was a one off but the second time,i stopped,life is precious we have buses..

I quite agree with you. All these incidents they try as much to cover up. I am still surprised that till now on Nairaland or anywhere, it was not reported that a catastrophe was averted by God's intervention on Wednesday 7th March 2018.

An Air peace Boeing aircraft named OBINNA, flying from Enugu to Lagos on the said day by 07:00hrs,immediately on taking off from the airport with the front tyre up already, lost an engine and the pilot was forced to abort take off. They said the engine failure is as a result of bird strike and the aircraft was grounded. Even till about 13:30hrs the whole passengers are still stranded at the airport.

Its sad having to fly with your blood pressure shooting high to the heavens. I was flying Arik that day by 12:25hrs from Enugu to Lagos,and after seeing the aircraft at the Enugu airport and interacting with the stranded passengers who were onboard that aircraft, I had to close my eyes and fly to Lagos that day but not without the highest level of blood pressure

My shot! I met with one partner in Opebi that time, I don't know the vehicle VIN but I have pictures, car had massive faults with cooling system, it was a v6 Honda 2000 baby boy, she started talks with 40 per week but later reduced it to 35 with the following conditions:
1) Pick her and drop her at meetings on the Island.
2) Bring car in on Sunday and pick it up Monday.
Thats all I can remember cos I tore up the agreement as soon as I got them.
This woman wasted several weeks of my time and several thousands of my lean savings for nothing. My advice goes: Pls avoid this partner if you don't want to spend your earnings (That's if you make anything) fixing cars.
Oga Gazzuz, I hope to meet you soon, I am seriously searching for a nice car while I manage what I have. I and my partner suppose even visit your workshop but he said you've closed for last year till next Monday. Looking for a nice hire purchase car quietly!

I have a nice hire purchase car to put in Uber/Taxify. But Gazzuz will be involved should we deal. Its a Tokunbo 2004 Toyota corolla

MissRaine69:
As long as you won’t be one of those females who is so insecure about a measly 2 year age gap she will keep bringing it up all the time then make something out of this. It’s not an issue for him so what’s the problem? The main thing here is what do you want and what’s really important to you?

Well spoken dear. One bottle of Alomo, Monkey tail and paraga for you
