Hello Famz,

Please do anyone have medical appointment scheduled for next week that they would like to swapped for May 10th?



Thank you

Accra Visa Office has to be the most frustrating Visa Office to have your file sent to, they are way more annoying that LVO. Having them treat your application is a real test of patience because you file can literally stay a whole year without no activity or update.

Hello Fam,

So I brought a certain issue here sometimes ago where a friend had mistakenly filled in 3 years as his work experience whereas he had just 2 years and 10 months. I made it clear that such mistake occurred while he was filling his questionnaires and was also carried over when he submitted his application.

Advises and contributions came in from many people on this thread and I must say that every contributions were helpful. Thank you all. However, I would like to point our attentions to something I noticed generally on this thread, while just few of the people that contributed to this issues looked at it from the angle of possible mistake that it was and suggested a likely way out, many people already castigated the applicant and concluded it was just an attempt to cheat the system and therefore said we can only expect automatic rejection and a possible ban.

Interestingly, such mindset is not something that is only peculiar to this thread or website, but something that we see and experience every other day as Nigerians. We see one another as potential criminals, we do not give ourselves any benefit of doubt before we run into conclusion about people's integrity or personality. I think we can definitely do better in that regards, let always remember that not everyone is a criminal, not everyone want to cheat the system, not everyone want to "scam" us.

Anyways back to the issue, so almost everyone suggested the best we could do was to withdraw the application since we already saw on his GCMS file that the analyst had stated that with 2 years & 8 months, his CRS points had dropped below the required point for ITA and would therefore required a further review, but I still felt withdrawal won't be the best thing. So at the end of the day, we immediately raised a case enquiry to explain everything and then order another GCMS file about a month later (around July) which hasn't come out btw. We didnt hear anything from them since that time.

Lo and behold, we woke up to a PPR mail yesterday and it was one of the greatest news. My friend at a point wanted to withdraw at all cost but I still firmly disagreed and I'm sure he had only obliged because he probably feel I can only wish him well after all.

So in conclusion, what I learned from this whole thing is that PATIENCE IS VIRTUE all the times.

ITA: Dec 2017

AOR: Jan 31

IP1: Feb 12

PPR Sept 17



Thank you all.

Kolabyk:
Please how long did it take to get your gcms note?. Also did you use gcmsbuddy?

I ordered in July 30th, yes, I used gcmsbuddy.

conebeam:
Please, when did you order your GCMS notes? I ordered mid July. Yet to receive mine. Gcms buddy says they are still expecting some files ordered in July.

Who else is in my shoes please.?

I ordered on the 30th of July

I think Accra is actually becoming another London o. My GCMS file came in yesterday and the Program Assistant has ok everything in my file since June, I guess that was before it was transferred to Accra.

What he wrote last was "R10 Ok Recommendation Review required" House please what does this mean?


My AOR is June 14 by the way.

Hello,

I would advise you resend the AAT certificate to them for evaluation and make sure you choose ICAN as the issuer this time. I got my AAT with ABWA too and it was evaluated by WES.


Regards.

Good morning all .

I have been battling with WES for some time now (Since 2017) , and I need some help .

I have Bsc and ATS/AAT from Ican and I got my ECA Report in July 2018. All necessary correspondences were sent to Wes by Ican and they (Wes) confirmed receipt and verification of Docs/certificate. To my surprise , the ican credential was no where to be found on the ECA Report .

I made this known to them and they requested my certificate again. I did send it to dem and they've been saying nonsense since. The below response was what they sent to me yesterday .

Dear Mr. Talkingboy,



Thank you for contacting us with your concerns.



We reviewed your evaluation report and confirmed that it is correct.



World Education Services (WES) does not evaluate study from The Association of Accountancy Bodies in West Africa (AATWA). If you wish to have your Accounting Technician Certificate (ATC) included in your already completed evaluation report, please submit a copy of your certificate as issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN). Upon receipt of the ICAN certificate, WES will review and update the report as warranted.



We would like to emphasize that WES evaluations are advisory opinions and not binding upon any institution or organization.





Sincerely,

Director of Evaluations

The certificate ICAN gave me was what I have been sending to them since and they keep rejecting it . Do they want me to goan manufacture cert in OLUWOLE ni ? because I don't know what to do again .

Is there any Post 2013 AAT holder that has successfully crossed this hurdle ?

NB: I picked ICAN as d issuing body and not ABWA when I was filling d form.

Help Biko . Thank you .

@grammy010,it's too late to withdraw the application now unfortunately.The most likely scenario would be that the applicant would be scheduled for interview and if there is no substantive proof of the claimed work experience,5 year ban would be given or miracle happens.

Thank you for the information. So it wasn't really about misrepresentation, it was just some careless oversight from the applicant. He has a 2years and 10months working experience which was what his employer stated on the reference form but he carelessly approximated it to 3years in his questnnaire while going into the pool and that was how he arrived at the CRS that got him the ITA.

Godsaysyes:
This is why it's good to read. A couple of days back @dontee07 posted a link and it seems withdrawing an application after submission now has consequence.

I will advise the person to read up the pros and cons before withdrawing the app.

Thank you for the information. However, withdrawing the application seems to be the best option now coz the person mistakenly rounded up their work experience years to three instead of two while entering the pool (I once posted this before) and it was on this basis ITA was received. The analyst has recommended the file for review since February and not has happened on the application since then.

So we think it'd be better to withdraw the application and reenter the pool again.

Hello fam,

Please can anyone advise on the process for withdrawing EE application?



Thank you

Good day my people,

Please is there always another ghost notification you receive few days after passing medicals or it is the same ghost notification prior to PPR? The confusing thing here is that medicals was changed to passed just like 2days ago and RPPF is yet to be paid.

Concerning The Children's Practice medicals, I noticed a few people complained about the secretary being rude. I am also a 'victim'. At the time I thought it was a one-off but it seems it's in her character.

I just called the hospital to let them know of the complaints about their secretary. I also mentioned they need to let people know they now have a cap of 40 people per day so people can go prepared, especially those from outside Lagos.

Hopefully they'll act on it.

I don't think that lady is actually rude, she seems to be always under massive pressure. She does so many things at the same time without any helping hand. I think the management of the hospital needs to get more people in that reception, so many people trying to get her attention at the same time, to be fair enough, anyone will sound rude in that situation...I was even surprised she could still smile and joke with people the day I went.

ITA showed up as expected. Glory be to God!!! This one too shall end with praise insha Allah!!!!!

Congrats everyone including those that are still expecting the point to go down.

Hello house,

Please do you think it wise for someone to do both character certificate and medical few days before ITA?

Thank you.

Hello Fam!

Please for those that used GTbank Savings account for POF, how did you go about the reference letter? I was at GTBank and they said they don't issue reference letter for savings account holder but a banker's signature confirmation letter can be issued.

Meanwhile I also have a domiciliary account with them and they said a reference letter can be issued based on that but my issue is can this really fly since my POF is in a savings account that won't be mentioned in the reference letter?

Finally, how important is this reference letter? Is it a must to submit it?

Please I need your advice, God bless you all.

He claimed 3 years working experience when he has 2years and 10months working experience. That is a misrepresentation. Is is serious enough to get him banned? Most likely not, but it is a misrepresentation all the same.

I don't think that's actually a misrepresentation given that he didnt even attempt to claim it based on the documents submitted. That was just an oversight because the VO won't have even know anything if he had attempted to claim 3+ years, all he would have done is to combine the two reference letters as one and make it between 2014 -2017 at a go without that gap which he clearly didnt.

Hello Fam!

Good day my people! I'm here to share a useful experience and at the same time ask for opinions on the best way to tackle the issues. I hope we can all learn from it as we submit our applications.

It's about a friend of mine that submitted his application in January and his status has remained in IP1 since February. We decided to order for his GCMS file less than 3 weeks ago and it came yesterday.

So the VO had recommended a further review of his application since February 27. He explained that "the applicant claimed 3+ years of foreign work experience to gain ITA whereas documents from employer had shown just[b] 2years 10 months[/b] of experience and going by that, his CRS score will be below the minimum score required for the draw as at that time".

After discussing this with him, I realized he goofed while entering into the pool by choosing 3+ years to arrive at his CRS score of 469 and didn't notice this while he was submitting his documents post ITA.

The 2nd issue raised was that Vo alleged "the applicant work experience was split up into 2 separate work experiences and work duration dates ADJUSTED to match LOE.

But actually, what happened here is that the applicant is a Dentist. He claimed Houseman ship experience betw Nov 2014 to Nov 2015. Then NYSC experience (in the same hospital) between MAY 2016 to APRIL 2017. The last experience he claimed is his current job(different hospital) which started from May 2017 till Jan 2018 (when he submitted)

Now if you notice in the first employer, there is a 5 MONTHS gap in between NOV 2014 to APRIL 2017. While filling the work history form, he realize the form would not allow any gap in between, so he filled the gap with an internship he never intended to claim point for so the form could allow him proceed. So I then realized this was what the VO probably described as WORK EXPERIENCE & DURATION DATES ADJUSTMENT.

Having said all these, I call on every elders on this forum to suggest to us the best way to go about this. Should he wait and allow the VO reject the application coz going by 2 years 10 months experiences he provided references for, his CRS will fall from 469 to 444 whereas the minimum score for his draw was 446.

OR can a raising a Specific Case Inquiry help him to avoid rejection of his application?

And hope he does not stand any chance of getting banned for misrepresentation?

Wow wow wow!!! I finally aced my IELTS after my 5th attempts!

1st attempt LRWS: 7.5, 7.5, 8, 7.5

2nd attempt LRWS: 7, 8, 7.5, 7.5

3rd attempt LRWS 7, 8, 6, 7.5

4th attempt LRWS 9, 8.5, 6.5, 8*

*I applied for a remark for writing and got a call after two weeks from British Council that my file is missing hence they are offering me a new test free of charge and a refund of my EOR fee which I gladly accepted.

5th attempt LRWS 8.5, 8, 7, 7.5

Please if you are sad and about to give up coz you have failed this test multiple times, all I can say is please don't give up, one more trial might just be all you need.

Btw my CRS just got cartapoted from 400 to 460!!!

Next draw on my mind pls.

God bless us all.
