trying To pay for my flight Gtb card is not going for Qatar airways , how do I sort this
Kindly book on hold and call their customer care line to give you the cross rate of the fare. Then pay into any of the accounts advised on your ticket. Once you pay, in less than an hour or two you will receive your confirmed ticket.

Please those that receive mail from Dubai that visa has been issued but should not visit TLS office until a mail is received for pick up, how long did it take to receive collection email? I received mail since Thursday that my dependent’s visa has been issued but yet to receive collection mail and still showing at DMC stage when tracked.

Those with experience, please help. Should I keep waiting or send a paid mail?

Visa alert!!!

My congratulations is here. Only God has the final say. What God cannot do, does not exist.

This journey to japa started since 2017. We started with Canada express entry. We did everything required and entered the pool not knowing that being in the pool is not a guarantee of being picked. When we realised it could take eternity to be picked from the pool we decided to try the student route yet I got refused 3 times . That was how I gave up and decided to begin further studies here in 9ja first. However, I realized I was guiding and helping my friends and colleagues to move out of the country while I still remained in 9ja. I wasn’t bothered initially, but the situation of the country coupled with the spate of insecurity made us to rethink our future, especially because of our children.
Finally we decided to go through the UK student route...to cut long story short God came through for us, the whole process was seamless , where it seems it was going to be difficult, God showed forth and made it easy.

Family of 5 all submitted at the same time

Date of Biometrics : August 17th. We had appointment for one and paid for walk in for the remaining 4
Visa type: Paid for priority for main applicant and standard for others

Centre: Ikeja TLS

Collection Email: 26th August

School: Sheffield Hallam University

Passport picked up 27th Aug.for main applicant, my husband and one of my children. Got a non straight forward mail for one of the kids and to also resend her TB certificate few days after biometrics. Awaiting collection mail for the remaining two.

My appreciation especially to all who take their time to respond to questions in the group. I have been a silent reader but gathered enough information that helped me through this process. No agent was used .

We move to the next level and pray we all get our congratulations soon too�����������
Peace

MY TESTIMONY IS HERE ���

Of a truth.... GOD HAS DONE THIS!

VISA ALERT!!!

Application: 13th August
Biometrics: 16th August
Collection mail: 23rd August
Pickup: Today
Visa type: Priority @ TLS Ikeja

I only provided the documents on my CAS (O'level 2008 and Degree certificate 2015).
I checked Oanda till the end of 29th day when I printed my bank statement because I only added a little above the actual amount... But GOD DID IT!

The process was smooth except for the part where POF wizards made me loose money (I'm still hoping for a miracle �)
Thanks to the creator of this platform @justwise and to everyone that helps to give answers to questions asked for the free. Una too much❤️

"DELAY IS NOT DENIAL" kept ringing in my head throughout and I'm grateful to God Almighty for making it a success.

To everyone still expecting, May God make it a smooth one... We will all testify���

I also paid 4 years IHS, I tried using my USD Dom card but it didn’t work, I think the situation is peculiar to Sterling bank. But I eventually got someone in the US to pay for me
You will need to request for your card to be activated for web/online card payment. May be it was not activated at the point of issuance.

I finally got my passport today. Strictly DIY. Spent 29k in total. I captured on the 18th of June and was asked to come for it on August 23rd. I decided to go check on it today that's before the due date for Collection and luckily got it. Now I can apply for jobs with my full chest. Thank God
Which immigration command please?

Ask me how naija wan take better....I have said I was going to go back second week of August to check again..... everybody just dey correct....we wey need submit for embassy august now we gatz ginger for the matter....and to make things funny my passport nah renewal and not fresh....two weeks time I swear I go show them craze....
Ikoyi passport Office is the worst immigration command I have seen. I started this process on time for renewal with hope that passport will be out before it’s needed. I have exceeded 6 weeks for a passport renewal that should take 3 weeks yet not out and no information of when it will be ready. Yet, in same command people are collecting (those with strong connect). This is the reason why things cannot get better in this country. Is it possible to request for renewal from another command even with one awaiting production?
Where can one go and complain about this Ikoyi command please? I am already behind schedule.

Same

Please @ snobby @ justice @gurus.
Is there any implication of filling No , since we are no longer traveling together but they will still come.
think is best you indicate you are traveling together since they will be applying once their passports is out. I am also in same dilemma, I am applying next week and proof of funds is in my account for family of 5 including me but I have only my passport and two other, the remaining two still awaiting production. So I will write a note stating the remaining two couldn’t apply because their passport is not out but will be submitted once we receive their passports. I think it will help.

I lived in Sheffield. Its an AMAZING multi-cultural city. Personally I think its one of the few multicultural cities that still very much has the traditional British life.
Manchester and Leeds arent too far from you when you start looking for proper corporate office jobs. And Sheffield itself has Royal Mail facility and a lot of contact center jobs in Rotheram. Goodluck.
Please I will like to connect with you. I will send you an email. I am billed for Sheffield also.

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 16 by Gtessy: 6:46pm On Sep 19, 2019
I work in the bank and in a session where bank verification from embassies come to our units. Banks disclose balance based on enquiry made by the embassy. For UK embassy, they pick a random date and ask for the balance in the account as at that date, name in the system, date of birth and authenticity of the statement. Canada also verifies balance sometimes closing balance as at print out of statement or balance as at date of enquiry. The best option is to leave the funds in the account at until approval. Though one can be lucky and enquiry might be based on balance as at date of printing statement. The grace on an individual application is different, what works for A may not work for B.

benque:
Sir I went to banking school, even though I nor finally work for bank, to the best of my knowledge the bank will not disclose your current closing balance to the embassy, only confirm what was printed in the statement since you printed it and gave it to them.

From what I see, the only way the embassy can get your current closing balance is if they suspect that the money was put there just for show and they request an updated bank statement.

This is why it's still good for people to leave the money there or even add to it until they have been approved and received their passports.

So i decided am going to be the one to announce our ppr, Yes i just feel like It, so to the main gist.

I really wasn't interested at first cause I know nothing about the whole express entry stuff. Fast forward to Jan 2018 after my birthday which was Jan 17, bobo said we are going to do our passport o, that he has asked his uncle about how to go about it and he already collected the number of a man that's actually going to help us out there.

PASSPORT PROCESSING....JAN 18. We went with our two boys and spent the day there, the man wasn't of much help actually after we paid he said his going out(that was how he japaa) and handed us over to another officer there,that one no even say make him even come look our face, as people that came after us self were being smuggled in by the people they know, we were waiting on queue ni o, and uncle number don switch off, not even knowing we were suppose to go somewhere else first, where they will ask me and hubby few question about our family and children. Thank God one of my boys run go that side and as we were trying to catch him na im we run into the lady that did some photocopies for us downstairs in fact that was where we paid to the man, and even she self was surprised say we still dey, in short she was the one that sha told us about the interview and where we go enter do am, the woman that was to interview us self was angry say she don dey call us since, we sha Do the interview and left there. To cut the short story long��, we were among the last batch they attended to and we left there, bobo(newest) was angry with the man anyways.

Please can you assist me and go through my GCMS note. I can't seem to make any headway from it. I want to try again and apply but need your assistance to guide me through some errors I had made in the previous application.
