rittyben:
not yet. Still in DMC

Alright. I'm sure it will be updated soonest.
And you will get your collection mail this week.

Fraih:

okay.

Hi, have you received your passport collection mail

carl90:
Golden Penny Semovita is made by Flour Mills of Nigeria PLC.
That is a major food conglomerate that is a public company listed on the Nigeria Stock Exchange.
The company is like what dangote cement is in the cement industry or what MTN Nigeria is in the telecom industry.
So people have massive trust in the company,thus ,the popularity and wide acceptability of their golden penny range of products.
Basically,FMN make good food products.

You can say that again
Proudly a former employee

BigDawsNet:
Whqts the difference between Semolina and Semovita?

Names from different brands.
An example, Flour Mills of Nigeria calls it Semovita
Honeywell calls it Semolina
They go through the same process and both made from raw wheat

Thanks to the star contributors especially duchess90 Well done guys. You are the best.

So you applied the day oanda rate started increasing and from your previous post, you were already short of like 300k. So means the ECO didn't use the rate of the day you applied 😎

Joyjames008:
Congratulations so excited am next in line.
Please can share a sample of the consent letter for child dependant.

I was congratulating @Adave97
You can direct your question to him

duchess90:
Hello

Yes that will be lump sum plus it doesn't meet the criteria of having the required funds for minimum 28days, it will mean the required funds were only met in a day.

Your POF maturing doesn't mean you have to submit your application same day

Wait and sort out the difference, pay an extra fee deposit and request an updated CAS

Or pay for your accommodation and provide the evidence of that plus cover letter to explain the difference

A 4days to 1week wait is better than a refusal

Cheers

Oh thank you. This is clear.
Is another option sending an additional account statement just as a buffer.

Adave97:
Visa alert!!!!!

Congratulations!!!

I'm co-asking, No I don't think it has been answered 1-2 pages back.
Fine, duchess90 advised paying part of school fees and asking for updated CAS statement from school which is quite on point.
Now, imolemiimole is asking a peculiar case where POF matures tomorrow (same with me), paying some part to school at this point may not be an option cos we know even with BM rate, before the school confirms and acknowledges and all (with them not easily accessible now), one will expect that to be all confirmed from the school minimum 4 working days.

The question again is, is it possible to deposit about 200 to 300k into the account, and then probably writing in a cover letter to explain the deposit (a day to the end of 28days cycle) if it is going to be termed "lump sum"

Pls guys what do you think? Duchess, justwise, mimilyrics

headofschool:
Ur questions have been answered, read 1-2page ⏪

Good morning @dduchess @mimilyrics @justwise and every other pro in the house…. With the current exchange rate issue in the country and as oanda rate keeps increasing. I have two questions please:
1) will this new oanda rate affect people who have applied for visa already since last week and only waiting for their biometric date?
2) People whose pof maturity date is tomorrow, can they add about 300k to it or it’ll be termed lump sum?

This is exactly my neighbour.
Reported to landlord twice, he denied sotey landlord said I should record him. Annoyingly, this guys does this mostly at midnight.
Landlord Reported to caretaker.

John, God pass you!

directonpc:

Don't you fund DOM account from BM?

Well true, but not entirely
Funded through bank transfer from other dom account (other banks), also via WorldRemit from the US

Hi everyone,

For those who has used Dollar or pounds card from *domiciliary account to pay for IHS or visa, hope there was no issues when making the payment?

Pls domiciliary account card not dollar card cos I understand that dollar card is an instant card which needs to be funded via BM and needs to be activated also.

Bunmibum1:
Hello everyone
Hello @duchess90,

Visa approved. Big thanks to you Duchess90 for your selfless efforts. Really appreciate !

All the best to everyone expecting theirs .

Congratulations 😎
That was quite fast. Was it priority visa?

Moh247:
.

Forced to take it down right? Lol

Franzese:


My dear, I so much believe in the supernatural and also miracles.

While the 5 pple/families ahead of me on the queue at diff booths at the POE we're still being interviewed. A POE officer that was free beckoned to me to come, asked me some few questions and also reminded me where to pick up our BRPs.

Within 3 mins or so, stamps us in and that was it..

I understand that you can be there for hours under scrutiny.

Nothing but God sis.

Great!
Keying into this 😎😎

Franzese:


No pls. Just normal application.

Awesome!

Franzese:
@duchess90 mimilyrics and all the Gurus here.

I'll be very direct, let's give it to these guys.
They reply virtually every one's message here on a daily if not hourly bases.

From my inner most part I pray for all the guys that God will bless them immensely. I sincerely wish there was a reward mechanism here on nairaland.

If not for the complexity of the travel section I would have opened a fresh thread for this. Make one person no come Tiamiyu or Emtee the idea.

I also want to use this medium to encourage people with dependants back in Nigeria to keep the faith up and put across their applications ASAP. Visas are still being approved as I speak.

I'm a dependant and my journey with two kids was a nothing but miracle, from TB Test, to Visa application, to Biometrics, to Visa approval and then POE at Gatwick.

Biometrics Thursday, Empty NSF Friday, Passport pickup mail Tuesday. Visa was approved in 3 working days... It can only be God.

God will do yours too.

Also if there's anyone here around Portsmouth, Fraton, Isle of Wight or environs pls mention me let's discuss offline...

Thank you

Yeah Weldone to the gurus in the house.
Was it a priority application?

wheesin:
Hello everyone, I’m trying to calculate my IHS fee for a one year masters course. I’m going with one dependent. I choose pbs tier 4 student visa route but nothing comes up for visa type. Please I need assistance. Thank you
