Hello,

I apologise for quoting this post. I can't remember how to compose a fresh post.

My daughter and I applied for a visiting visa last year and our interview date is January 2024. The problem is, the passports we used to apply have expired and we have renewed but i dont know how to update the new passport details on the application.

I would appreciate of someone can help with this.

Thank you.

congratulations well packaged

Hello House,

Pls does anyone have a strong contact at the Immigration Office in Abuja. I submitted my passport for Change of Name at Ikoyi since August 2nd and I am yet to be called for capturing. I was told that they are yet to send the approval from Abuja.

The main problem is that I need to travel on September 20th for an urgent matter.

Pls I need all the help I can get on this matter o!

A big congratulations to Ethelia, QSola, Adlib007, ArabianRose many more good news will come to this thread this month IJN.

Please who wrote IELTS on 2nd of June and is yet to receive his/her result (hardcopy) from BC?

I need to know I'm not alone.

Thanks. I will redo it after completing my ACCA F2 paper next month.

We move...

mcstan18:


Do you really want to do that? What about the 7.5 in L? I think you rather need to focus more on preparing for the next (and last)

My IELTS results:

Overall Band: 7.5
Listening: 7.5
Reading: 9.0
Writing: 6.5
Speaking: 7.5

I am going to ask for remark but for a first attempt and all that is happening around me currently, I give thanks to God. AOR here I come.

IELTS Jitters

Hello House,

Is it possible to update an EE profile in the pool from spouse 'not accompanying' to 'accompanying' ?

Did you write your exam on June 2nd? I thought they said the results will be out by 15th of June

glowberry:
You guys I can’t concentrate ion anything. Just refreshing ielts site. Congrats @temmytee1

The person does not need to go there in person. He just needs to request for his transcript to be sent to WES from services.alumni@covenantuniversity.edu.ng

Oreoluwa08:

Hello, the process is on CU website, the person needs to go there in person for the process.
It’s really fast.

@Hotchoco2

Ok. I think we can get started now. Other persons interested can add their Moniker to the list below. Lets send our contacts to canadaprrr@gmaildotcom to prevent spam.

Quite fast! I started my application on 27th April and my ECA expected date per my profile is 15th June. So the whole process is less than 2 months.

daks01:
Hey guys, Please any Covenant Uni grads here? Do you guys have any idea of how long it took for them to respond to WES verification?

I am looking at sometime next month but will finalise this week.

AyubAlam:




Hey, best of luck to your evaluation. When is your exam? Hope you will pass it sweetly and get one year evaluation too.

WES has been really unpredictable these days changing it to one semester was worst.

So I sent an email to ACCA to enquire about what the equivalence of F1-F3 + Foundation in Professionalism Module is and below is an excerpt of the mail I received:

The Diploma in Accounting and Business (F1-F3 and the Foundations in Professionalism Module) is equivalent in level to year one of a UK Bachelor degree.

I am still going ahead with ACCA (because I'm technically out of options) and I'm hopeful that WES will evaluate it as 1 year diploma.

So help me God!

IELTS Speaking Done...June 2nd here I come for LWR!

Thanks for the clarification. Will await your response from the other side.

AyubAlam:


In Nairaland, yes there was someone who did 2 papers and got evaluated as one semester and there were another case in a separate platform that I came across where someone has said that although he has done all the 3 papers he got the same evaluation as one semester and he wrote to WES to change it. I ll share the outcome once I know it in the coming week.

I thought I read that the people that got the 1 semester evaluation had exemptions. Kindly correct me if I'm wrong.

AyubAlam:


I have wrote to ICES, ICAS, IQAS and CES. Not a single one of them evaluate professional degrees such as ACCA. Its WES only but recently two people got one semester equivalent for F1-F3 so probably WES has changed their evaluation criteria for ACCA.

As for me, I am going ahead to write my F2 and will pray for a favourable outcome. I really don't have a choice right now. So help me God.

CanadaPR:
Please Fam, what's the summary for ACCA F1-F3 evaluation?

Has anyone truly gotten a positive assessment in recent times for F1-F3? Please any who has gotten F1-F3 assessed as a 1year diploma or certificate should please clarify....

Secondly can F1-F3 assessment plus a Bachelor be claimed as 2 or more certificates OR has anyone successfully claimed 2 or more certificates?

I've searched and read posts on this forum but not really finding something absolute.
Please save a soul!!

I was the one that talked about a re-regiatration fee of 471 GBP (approx 228k), this I because I was formerly a member. I will suggest you read through what people have written properly so you don't mix things up.

The ACCA website is also very explicit, it will answer all your questions.

Canadatlast:


Thank you. I looked through already but it wasn't clear.
Someone was talking about registration fee of over 228k and I saw F1-F3 fee of about 35k each.I also saw purchasing materials and all.
I just wanted to get the actual total required including materials and all. Thanks

That is ehn...God dey

Elfmannisback:

Go for it with all the vigor. You mean N228K for reregistration alone? Chai! Good luck!

I failed F2 like 7 years ago and I abandoned ACCA. Passed F1 and F3 though. I am thinking of writing F2 September but I have to pay about 471 GBP first for reregistration before I can register for the exam.

I am going to try to write it and see how it goes because it will bump me up from my simulated 430 to like 458...fingers crossed.

DboyizGood:


This is not mine but I took pains to get it from some whom I found out has done it. Had to follow up for like 3wks now to get it

Presently I am on 435 but my EOR is still baking...hoping to get a 0.5 upgrade in my writing and speaking which stands at 7 each but with 7.5 each, I move to 441 and I won't even have to do ACCA.

But I am already preparing for F2 n F3 as a backup plan. So from estimate 150k to 200k should be enuf if you pass all in one sitting.

Na the surest way to go be this...so let's all push for it. A whatSapp group can be created to help share materials and ideas.

@mcstan na una be veteran for here..so make una carry us along biko.

Blackbuddy:


Use her married name which should be the same as in her international passport. The name on the WES account does not have to be same as that for her school certificate which is likely in her maiden name, it's not an issue.

I created my WES account in my maiden name because my passport is in my maiden name. I also registered for IELTS in my maiden name.

I have decided to cahnge my passport to my married name after IELTS before continuing with the application. Is it possible/advisable?

Based on your response, when will be the earliest time one can file for a spouse? Also, will he be able to get visiting visa later?

sunvick:

Hello House,

I arrived the U.S. Yesterday after leaving Lagos on Tuesday night. My story goes thus...
Booked KLM LOS-AMS-DFW de cause I wanted to see my friend for a few days before proceeding to Houston. Arrived Amsterdam on time and waited over 4 hours as scheduled for the next flight. When it was time to board, we were told the left engine of the plane wasn't working so there's a delay that they would try to fix and get back to work. We waited another 4 hours and the plane did not work so we were told to go to an hotel and we would be rebooked for the next day.
Because I did not have a Schengen visa, I had to go to the immigration office to process 1 day visa which took almost 3 hours. My flight was rebooked to AMS-Boston-Dallas (Israelites' journey).
Got to the airport yesterday and boarded the delta flight to Boston and American Airlines for Dallas...plz note that there were long layovers o!
So my POE was Boston...at Boston stood in line for so long, on Good Samaritan gave me his space right in front and took mine, we had like 20 people in line between us.
Cbp 1: why are you here?
Me: vacation and childbirth
Cbp1: do you have a correspondence from your doc/hospital?
Me: I gave him the emails and attachment from Dr Fagbohun.
Cbp1: how much do you have?
Me: $5k cash and $10k in my Boa account
Cbp1: have you been to the U.S. Before?
Me: yes, last year
Then a small woman ( supervisor) was passing and he decided to run it by her. She came into the cubicle and he briefed her.
Cbp2: why do you want to have your baby here?
Me: cuz I had a miscarriage after my 1st baby and better opportunities
She then whispers to the guy after taking a second look at the email from Dr Fagbohun and said it looked "Bogus" cuz it was via yahoo and not his official email. Cbp1 asked her what he should do and she said its up to him to take the decision. So he began to type and said he would send me for secondary inspection. Told me to step aside and asked a guy in the radio to come pick me.
I got into sec inspection and met 3 people there. It got to my turn and I went to the counter
Cbp3: where were you born?
Me: Lagos, Nigeria
Cbp3: can I see your Dr's email
Me: I handed the document to him
Cbp3: reviewed it and asked if I showed them outside and I said yes. Who are you staying with in Houston?
Me: renting an apartment
Cbp3: why Houston?
Me: the weather is like Lagos and the hospital quote I got was reasonable ( he then joked and said why not Boston that their weather is good too)
Cbo3: have you been to the U.S. Before?
Me: yes with my husband n daughter last year
Cbp3: will he be coming?
Me: yes, in August.
Cbp3: stamped my passport for 6 months and told me to pick my luggage outside.

Tips
Always say the truth
Do not panic
Rely on the Holy Spirit to grant you favour
Plan well.
For those still planning, if you can get Dr Fagbohun to use his work email for you, it would be nice.

I will mention it to him during my first appointment.

I'm also grateful to God for strength for me and my baby to go through this without any effects.

My Gid that delivers completely #agbanilagbatan... I am grateful.

I hope my experience can help someone.

Cheers.
