Simply block the number, that'swhat i did and i have peace ever since then

sparkyJ:
I want to call the attention of the government to save us from the embarrassing calls and messages of loan companies.

They always claim the debtor dropped your contact with them which is NOT true but rather they send messages or call all numbers on the contact list of the debtor. I have never taken a loan in my life neither do I care to do so.

I got a message today from a company called CREDIT9JA that somebody took a loan from them, that he dropped my number as an emergency number for them to call. Why dragging innocent people into a deal or transaction they know nothing about?

The most annoying part is that u might end up not knowing the person; reason is because people can get people's contact without their consent.

This is the 3rd time i will encounter this. The first was abt a schoolmate of mine during my undergraduate days, the second was a fellow Corp member during my service in the core North and now is a stranger who have my number. Yet these people suddenly claimed he is my relative. It's so annoying! I called back and gave them a stern warning. See the reply I got.

Its poisoning i learnt..so I used prickly powder on the rashes, it stopped itching , then after about 4 days I used the powder, I continued with tribact( anti bacteria, fungi, inflammatory cream I got from the pharmacy, now the rashes has stop and my skin healing well

Sorry for responding late, I didn't come back to this page after my last comment...hope u r better..

ijoba222:
oh my God yes . Baygon

Did you use mosquito spray recentlylike baygon, sniper?..I am currently having such rashes , I guess as I sprayed it settled on my skin.

ijoba222:
please nairalanders with experience what do you think this is? it started appearing on my skin 3 days ago , and it gets itchy sometimes, this has never happened to me before, please what do you think it is, ? any solutions ? I thought it because of the bathing soap that I switched

I'm trying to fill the visa application form for my children ( I have a visa already). We'll be staying with my sister and her family but there's no "Aunt" option in accommodation/host section.
What do I do, please?[/quote]

Yes, it means u got it visa, from experience, I and my daughter's, we didn't receive any mail from Doc, only from Tlscontact 4 collection..

mosesolawuyi:
Hello everyone!
I just want to find out if DMC now sends refusal emails to every unsuccessful applicant or just some handpicked ones. My friend received a refusal email from DMC last week and then an email from TSL asking him to come to collect his passport. But, this afternoon, I only received a mail from TSL informing me that my passport is ready for collection (I didn't receive a refusal email prior to that). Does this indicate a success?
BIOMETRICS DATE: 15 SEPT
VISA TYPE: VISIT

The 2 times I applied and got my visit visas, it was sponsored by my fiance, I filled he would spend £1,000 , when I got to how much I will spend for the trip, I also filled £ 1, 000 and he earns about £ 2,700 gross on d average...This is my experience. Thanks

I moved departure to January, thanks a lot


Thank u for the feedback...
In my appl I filled 18th November to 12th of December
My next application will be spousal visa hopefully..

giselle237:
Congratulations...
What did u fill in ur visa app as the duration of your visit to the UK? .
Then about her school. It’s a valid question especially if u are asked at the POE how long you are coming in for. November to March is a long period. 5 whole months.
Sometimes they ask to see return tickets at the border. Showing return ticket of 5months is a huge red flag.
Let’s say you get off at the POE without any hassles, what happens to your next application?
Trust me the 5 months will count against you then without any strong extenuating circumstance to back it up.

Good day all..

I am here again to share visa timeline, this time for my daughter.
I applied for my visa, used my daughter as my tie back home, a day after my own came out I went for her biometrics, having applied for her like one week before...so UK embassy called her school, no one picked, then they called my fiance, they complained about my statement of account, my fiance couldn't say much to them only that I was with him last December and he also wants my daughter to accompany me...

Biometrics- 11th September
Collection mail- 29th September
Collected her passport like 30mjns ago

She is full of joy as well as me...this forum is more than a gift to me, thank you everyone..

Pls I want to ask if it's ok to leave UK on the last day my visa is expiring, my visa ends on 4th March, can I buy ticket to leave on that day?
Also will they question me on my daughter, if she will not go to school, we want to travel on November and come back on 4th March, d day my visa is expiring, thank you

Yes he can stay, once the baby is born as a parent of a British citizen, he can get his leave to remain, let him get a lawyer over there to put him through..



quote author=Wales1111 post=94407671]Sorry pls house a friend need a serious advice. I want the gurus in the house to look into it. He got a visit visa and in the course of visiting from found a British citizen got her pregnant and his Visa is gonna expire next month ending so he wants to know if he can stay with his woman and if yes will his visa status change after the child birth ?[/quote]

U can still make courier payment on ur appointment date...i didn't need it


[1quote author=Success2011 post=94292206][unlike the assisted service option where all payments are made at the VAC, did you pay for courier before your appointment was confirmed? Because, I am being asked to make online payment for courier service. quote author=Success2011 post=94290749]Thanks a lot[/quote]

Choose self service, get closer date, on your appointment date, take all ur documents with u ,tell them u want them to assist u, u'll pay N11,700 thru pos. That's how i did mine



quote author=Success2011 post=94288586]Good morning All. Booking an appointment with TLS after choosing Assisted Service seem to be an issue. Any help please?[/quote]

Check your Brower, use chrome or opera...

twojul:
Ive tried this and it still directs me to that link and i still have the same problem. there aren't any options when I'm asked to select my location.

For my 1st visa , my supposed date of travel was 17th December but then I got cheaper ticket for 12th of December, and no one questioned me

Brightingsus:
I was gonna provide an answer to this question, but then I thought of a second opinion here (for other people's experiences)

Must you travel to the UK as a visitor on the date quoted on your application form, or can you go a couple of days prior as long as the visa is valid for the dates? Eg, if one (2nd time traveller) quoted Oct 3 as planned departure date and visa has validity from Sept 27, can they travel Sept 28?

Remember, application form usually asks for 'planned' departure and return dates.

Godsblessings:
I'm expecting response regarding the statement of account

I mean the experts in d house will advice you, I didn't rely on my statement 4 d application, I believe someone will put u through soon , Tnx...

Godsblessings:
Did you include 14days quarantine on the sop ? Does it mean that one must travel atleast 15days to date of intended conf or vacation days? Expecting your valuable response. Thanks. I am asking on behalf of a brother, he came back from Dubai January,2020 this yr, before the lock down, and he has not been receiving salary since January though he has a Emirates ID and Dubai resident permit. Pls what type of account can he use for his tourist visa application to be approved

I considered the quarantine, I said I will spend 3 weeks but in my first application I said I will spend 2 weeks but I ended staying for 4 weeks...coming to the documents required for your brother, I will leave it for the gurus in d house to answer...i hope this helped

Oggg:
Pls did u state that he is ur fiance or u stated he is a friend in your 1st application in November? Pls help.

I stated he is Fiance from beginning, with pictures we snapped together when he came back

Haywhey:
How did you go about it and what are the documents submitted? Kindly unveil the necessary step you took. I am a first timer with Virgin passport. Thanks

My case may not be exactly yours, the most important thing is to dig information here and follow. I have invitation from my Fiance, he gave me his pay slips, account statement, letter identifying him from his office, tenancy agreement, council tax...he is sponsoring my trip...while I presented my employment letter, letter from my office and my account statement even though I earn roughly 40k...if u want more information, am here

Casserole:
I've noticed that everyone getting approvals for tourist/visitor visas have good travel history.. What's the fate of we the first time applicants aka Virgin passports

Once you follow d advice here, you will get your visa....i applied for the first time, last November and I got it...do d right thing and will get..cheers

Good day everyone...this forum is more than a blessing to everyone planning to travel to the UK

This is my 2nd time of getting my tourist visa, just by adhering to advice o got here...i did the 2 applications myself without any agent...
Thank you once again @ Giselle and everyone who has and have been contributing to this forum....

Giselle237 et al, I just finished filling the UK form for a visit visa and I am at the stage where I need to make payment. Is there any document I need to print before proceeding to make payment ?

I have applied and was denied visa to Netherland but submission of application is done through France embassy. Do I say I was denied by France or Netherland?

It's after payment you get to d page where u can print the checklist and ur online application

Merceline:

Merceline:

ALEX182:
So I have this American patient who I recently came across. He's a fat dude who is like in his late 40s but has a very jolly and likeable character. I introduced myself and we got talking afterwards.

After a while of chitchat, he asked me where I was from. I told him to take a guess and he said said, you sound like you're Nigerian. I told him (regrettably) that I was Nigerian. He started smiling and told me that he had a Nigerian girlfriend and that we both had similar accents.

He then started telling me recent occurrences that had befallen his girlfriend in Nigeria. He said the lastest story was that she was in Abuja and as she was on her way to the airport in a taxi, the taxi had an accident and she was seriously injured and had to be rushed to the hospital. He said that the hospital demanded money before treatment started and he had to hustle about $4000 and send to her in order for treatment to start.

He said that after a week of her being in the hospital, they wanted to discharge her despite her still being in pain. Because she had exhausted all the $4000 on treatment, he said the hospital had threatened to discharge her on the streets and he was trying to borrow more money to see if he could send it to her so they could continue with her treatments.

He furthermore told me that the girlfriend said that she was a Nigerian American citizen who was currently stuck in Nigeria due to her passport having expired and also due to Covid lockdown at airports in Nigeria. He said she had asked him for $300 to renew her US passport from American embassy in Nigeria.

Another thing that he told me was that just before covid struck, there was a similar pandemic which happened in Nigeria early this year and that his girlfriend had contracted the disease and he had to send her $2000 for treatment. Right now he said he's broke but is waiting for like $2000 disability check from the US government next week which he will send to her as soon as the money clears.

As he was telling me this tale, I was so angry with Nigerians and how they take advantage of people in love to scam them. I wanted to swear for the scammers


I'm at a dilemma here. Do I tell him that he's being scammed by Nigerians or do I continue to be professional and just ignore it. Because I don't want him to think I'm involved with it because these oyinbo people can turn everything on your head and accuse you that is your people in conjunction with you that are scamming him. They are that crazy.

The good part of me wants to help him but I'm hesitant that it may turn out bad for me. Please matured responses.

Good day everyone...
Please I want to find out if I am supposed to upload the printed online form and the document checklist for self service

luvlycutebay:
I recommend you download CAM SCANNER from Google play store.
clear and effectives

Ok, thank you Ma

giselle237:
Log back in to your appointment place.
Just beside where u have the appointment confirmation and where it asks if u want to cancel the appointment is another selection button... it is written upload.
Click on it and it wud take u to where u can upload ur documents.
Download any scanner on ur mobile phone from ur app store or playstore, then use the scanner to scan the documents and then send to ur laptop. Scanning with mobile phone just requires u to hold ur normal phone camera over the document, use good lighting source, steady ur hands and then snap away..

The documents will show u what it snapped, u can then crop out the edges if u have unwanted elements there and then SAVE the document.
Voila u are good to go.

Do this for every paper file u want the ECO to see.

Then upload the documents to each segment, u will see it as it’s written there, For example if you snap/scan ur bank statement, u can go to financial evidence and upload it immediately... then go back to continue scanning other documents u have.
U dont have to finish all at one sitting.
U can continue later in d day or anytime u have more documents, but ideally should finish all at least 24 hours to biometrics time..
One time I finished 6am of my appointment date and then submitted electronically. it was less than the stipulated 24hrs.
Just make sure to finish submitting all u want before going in to click the actual SUBMIT button.
the sections for upload i cnt remember all but some include :
Financial evidence
Residency evidence
Family evidence
Like that and so on.
U can use ur phone for all, if it will be easier for u to upload that way.

And if you successfully do it urself, u dont have to pack all ur physical papers again to TLS on ur appointment date.

Should I scan the printed application form and the checklist ?
