Nice one Bro.. Finally! I remembered I contacted you when I started my "Join Family" application too last year November.. Luckily mine was approved in January, have been enjoying the beautiful atmosphere here in Ireland since January.. Welcome on board, Welcome to the beautiful country of "Island of Ireland".. You will love it here.. Though unpredictable weather.. It could be windy and cold in summer, and the the sun can be up to anytime.. Just be prepared for the unpredictable weather.. But its a very beautiful country with beautiful people around..

Okay. Thanks for the heads-up

Biakwa:
Bro i sent you a pm can we have a chat

I responded

The question is have it ever worked before. Depends on where you are staying, Metro Digital TV and CTL TV are Antenna based subscription channels and have MBC channels

Biakwa:
Bro
Please what kind of visa did you actually applied for,student or work or spouse etc.How come it took that long since 2019??

It is a "join family visa". I guess some people's application has taken more than two years. Because as at last year July my AVATS number is around the 41****** range, and shortly before embassy closure the number was at 45****** but as at yesterday I still saw some visa decision uploaded yesterday with 30****** range of AVATS.

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you, it was really a long wait. Don't worry international flights should resume soon, we are in stage 2 of the lockdown reopening and the reopening calender has been moved forward by a month from mid August to mid July. Flights across Europe are scheduled to resume from 1st of July I'm sure Africa and Nigeria will plan based on that. It's so good to finally know that you will be reunited with your wife soon, it's only a matter of time. Congratulations once again and welcome to Ireland.

Thanks and God bless you

Yes

You didn't eat well made Ghana jollof or probably your stomach had too many sensors

I think it's Dapoxetine or Paroxetine. I will suggest you get across to a consultant urologist that's the only person that can help you

I tracked mine vfs website and saw that it has been transferred to Abuja. But I don’t know how one can be sure if it is in Dublin

It's through VFS tracking

ICaSNg:
Good news !!!

Mail received just now from Ireland:


Colleagues,



Just a quick email to update you on our plans to resume visa services. You will be aware that since the outbreak of COVID-19, we have suspended the acceptance of all visa applications globally, with the exception of certain priority/emergency visas as identified on our website.



Notwithstanding restrictions still in place locally, it is our intention to resume the acceptance of visa applications, through our commercial partner, VFS, in the seven locations overseas where we have visa offices, as well as in our Dublin office from Monday 22nd June. Our seven visa offices overseas are based in China, India, UAE, Turkey, Nigeria, Russia and the UK. There are still restrictions in place in some of these countries, so where it isn’t possible to resume from the 22nd June, we intend to resume accepting visa applications as soon as is possible thereafter. The initial resumption of services may also be on a limited basis in certain locations – for example, in China, only four of the fifteen Visa Application Centres (VACs) will be allowed to open initially and in Turkey and elsewhere, initial opening hours may be limited.



In all other locations, the resumption of services will be at the discretion of our colleagues in Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade (DFAT), as visas in those locations are processed by DFAT staff in the mission network. Our understanding is that they hope to resume services as soon as local restrictions allow them to do so.



During the initial phase of re-opening, we will only be accepting Long Stay “D” visa applications, including Study, as well as those identified under our current criteria as Emergency/Priority Short Stay visas.



There are also contingency plans in place to process applications in our Dublin office should the situation on the ground in other locations prevent us doing so there.

That's good news, I guess they will start issuance of approved visas from that date too. Because most flights are resuming around July 1st week

Sarina6002:
The refuses here no be small thing o..

They are not smiling at all. The refusal rate is Alarming

BabajhideySammy:
Lol, oh well yours is more like countdown to when the ban on international flight will be lifted. Did the embassy mail you to inform you that your application was approved or how did you find out?

First of all you need to know where your visa application is processed. It's either at Abuja Embassy or INIS Dublin. In my case it was Irish Embassy Abuja, so checking on the link below with my AVATS number every week. That's how u can find out

BabajhideySammy:
Wow, so what happened to the approved visa please? Because I think they only give three months first

Visa was approved but not issued yet. Just like since the pandemic, they have been processing visa applications but have not been issuing visas for the approved applications. They said they will start visa issuance once the international flight resumes

All you people haven't been as patient as me oooh. My visa application has been since 24th July 2019, Just the week in which visa was approved in March 2020, Lockdown due to Covid-19 took over and I have been here since patiently waiting

haylegbede1:
Is there a site you get this information from?

Yes go to this website and download weekly visa updates for Abuja Embassy. It is updated every Monday.

faithzy:
The rate of refused visa recently is Alarming.

Only 3 visa approvals in last 2 weeks, the rest are refused

Chirowman:
its all about improvement but i love airbus A380 than boeing 737 . having been in both aircraft ,coronavirus why?

You don't compare the Airbus A380 jumbo with Boeing 737, that's like comparing a Mercedes Benz G-wagon with a Kia Picanto. Airbus A380 Jumbo can be compared with likes of Boeing 747-400, Boeing 747-8, Antonov 225, Galaxy C5 and C130 Hercules

Am not sure this flight will leave today. My brother is in Guangzhou and paid for this flight, as at early this morning he said they don't have any update on the flight apart from airline as them to do Covid-19 test again.

The only thing this government thinks and understands is loans. Loan this, loan that, loan here and loan there. We are already the loan headquarters of the world

iamvictorbassey:
Thanks, I was able to bring it down. Though very expensive.

Congrats let's see the picture of ur new metal horse. I can't wait to get my 2013 Triumph Tiger 800 XC

The dog wore the costume

slimthugchimee2:
That's a wild pig

It's called Wild Boars

faithzy:
The decision is for all Visa Categories or just student visas?

All visa categories

Have anybody noticed the severe rate of visa refusals by the Irish embassy Abuja since the past 3 weeks. It's critically alarming.

The post doesnt bother me,what bothers me is knowing that he won't be able to control the power and torque the Hayabusa offers, which would make him to be counted among causualties caused by a superbike.

That's why the bike was dubbed the widow maker

Risingblue008:
Omo,see bike, I call this MONSTER BIKE

That's a 1st Generation Suzuki Hayabusa with extended rear wheel. A monster indeed
