In Minna, You get it instantly

muhyideenabdul:
Nice experiences
I equally applied online (30 pages, 5yrs) atrate of ₦17,800 by July of this 2023 in Kaduna which I booked appointment date for just four days online. When I got there, an officer told that it's free but they won't look at me on time and my file could be delayed, meaning that I have to pay for verification and fast processing.
We bargained at ₦5,000 which within 5 minutes he had bypassed the queue, took me inside for capturing. I did it successfully just for me to cross check if there is mistake on the application. The guy told me till two months before it will be ready which I will be ok with it, looking forward to get it by then.
My advice is do it online to save money but when you reach their office for capturing make sure you bargain with one of them in order to take you inside for capturing on time who can equally track the readiness of the passport.
Make sure you exchange contacts.

Nobody said everyone is a scammer. Don’t change the focus by generalizing. There is a specific account that claimed a specific skill set. Leave Poland and South Africa threads out of the claim by this account.
Anyone that wants to work with an agent with special server into US Embassy that’s not available to the public, that’s on them.
But if it sounds like BS. It’s definitely BS.

Just to add, If you process your passport to Niger state, you can get it same day.

Debbieeeeeee:
They won’t let you in with a passport with less than six months validity, get the new passport and go there with it , find someone to get the new passport out for you before your interview.
No embassy issues visa on a passport with less than 6 months validity.

Hmmm.

fkj950ax:
The only logic that confirms @berekem is not honest is saying they have access to a special or different server to the US Embassy Interview portal that makes it easier for them.

That’s BS on steroids.

very valid point, but let the alexisblessed show us evidence. I just feel we should allow fair hearing. You get, not everyone is a scammer here. Go to the poland and Sa session, see how people are connecting and assisting each other. The phone number can even be traced, if the person has an office, you can investigate or send someone to make some findings. Not making a case for anyone, just talking as someone who views issues differently. No party should take offence abeg

If it is found true to he has scammed someone, he should be dealth with seriously.

alexisblessed:
STOP LYING!! YOU KNOW YOU SCAM PEOPLE!! THE SAME WAY YOU CLAIM YOU GET YOUR DATES IS THE SAME WAY EVERYONE CAN! YOU DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIAL SERVER! LIES! PLS I WILL ADVICE ALL OF YOU TO SEARCH FOR YOUR DATES YOURSELF BECAUSE SOME OF THESE AGENTS ARE EVIL!!! WHEN YOU SEE THEM ALL OVER THE PLACE SOLICITING ON EVERY COMMENT ABOUT EARLY DATES JUST KNOW THEY ARE THE SCAMMERS! THE GENUINE AGENTS ARE TOO BUSY TO COME AND MARKET THEMSELVES ON EVERY COMMENT!! I HAVE WARNED YOU ALL OH! THIS PARTICULAR AGENT IS OUT TO SCAM!!

I am a logical person. Please take no offence, before someone accuses me of taking side. Can you post evidence of when you were scammed, maybe chats or payment receipt.

So everyone here can be properly advised, because i have actually used alot of guys here to change naira to rands in SA and i didnt even meet them in Person, I remember one Particular guy, i sent him 400k and he paid me in rands. The guy is on the South African Group.

We just want some evidence. Please take no offence both parties.

65k Abc or Cross country

TeewhySolace:
I'm planning to go to Ghana by month ending. Pls how much does transportation cost. [b][/b]

That yellow receipt you received that carries your visa fees is where you extract the number to track it. Just follow through it patiently.

Professordi:
Thank you very much. And please what is the reference number for tracking like because I have used all the numbers on the receipt given but displaying "invalid input"

Dont make attempt. Just leave it like that, unless they request.

Professordi:
Please I need assistance.
My wife and 8 months old child submitted some documents to France vfs Abuja on 31 July 2023, but on getting home I discovered that she didn't attach the child birth certificate. Please is there any way I can contact or send it to the french embassy?
Thank you for your kind assistance

giselle237:
A lot of people have come in and refused to go back. I mean a lottttttt. Once you enter, claim asylum straight is the mantra. As long as govt takes time to decide their case, u are allowed so many things while waiting and so thats why this route is been abused. If govt takes 3 case to decide if u are telling lies or not, in that 3 years they get hotel, stipends and start birthing children that get free school, medical treatment etc
After 7 years of d children, they go onto apply for ilr for the children, then use d children to regularise their own stay. Or those that go to find one citizen and enter relationship or marriage to regularise stay. It’s a very long conversation if we start.

Even here, dont we read comments of people who over stayed .

If you apply for visas frequently , have a separate account for visa purpose.
I always talk about this here. Of all the things that disqualify applicants for Uk visas, the income and expenditure aspect.

Take it into consideration, and regularilise your accounts else you keep going in cirles.

betterstill maintain the frequency of payments.
Sorry about your refusal.

Just take your time and work on it. technically writing.

Hello Guys, Trust everyone is fine

I just wanted to say, considering the complex nature of Nairaland with regards posting certain type of ads here, would it be appropriate to give out contacts for services that are highly requested.
Some persons reached out that they need a company to help them register and file annual returns for their businesses on cac. Ofcourse you all know, these services are considered to be post incorporation, as such can only be handled be accredited persons. If your company status is inactive or you have errors you want to regularise, you can send a dm, i will be willing to forward their contact. I have been using them for a long time and they are very reliable.

Ps: This is for those attaching company documents to their visa applications. Just mail:


Have a great day!

Eazyomi:
Hello guys, I know this channel is for the student route, but please I have couple of questions concerning getting the work visa to Poland. I already have my work permit and have completed all the necessary applications, so now I'm just waiting for my application to be drawn so I get a date for my visa interview. Please I'd appreciate any helpful information:

1. How long on an average should I expect to wait before my application gets drawn for a visa appointment?
2. Is there anyway I can expedite the process?
3. Is there anyone here who was successful with getting this visa in recent times that I could speak to?

Hello.

From my encounter and sight of things at the embassy. I will advise you to go to the embassy in Maitama and gather some information there directly .
Waiting back is not best, alot is going on behind the scene.


Goodluck

Appointment day

nuttycaptain:
Can someone please confirm that payment for the schenghen visa is made at VFS on the appointment date and not prior...?

Send here too overstayappeals@dha.gov.za

abladroyalltd:
Good day everyone please do anybody have an idea of how the appeal works in SA when ur evisa is rejected? I made an appeal on the 17th of July and up till now nothing yet, not even acknowledgement mail that they have gotten the appeal..... my travel date is September, should I be patient or make new application. That's my question

Once. After, you will be required to pay for another MRV fee in a case of change

Dracoe:
How many times can one reschedule an appointment?

Please, check my profile and just ask to send me a mail. I can establish contact with you that way. Thanks, since you cant see mine, you try sending me a mail instead, could be network glitch. Please do

SerenaStyles:
Good morning sorry I tried to reply your email but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Appointment gave me headache too but thank God this week I met someone here that helped me

Awelewa89:
Yesterday, I had my interview at 10.45am, which took place at window three. I'm pleased to share that my application was approved. Interestingly, mine was the first approval of the day, as I witnessed the officer deny more than 49 individuals, some of whom had prior travel histories to the US.

During the interview, the officer asked me a series of questions, including the purpose of my trip to the US, details about my occupation, the budget I had allocated for the journey, and where I intended to stay during my time there. Additionally, they inquired about my activities in Canada during a specific month (XYZ Month) and my current earnings, among other things.

For context, I have traveled to 19 countries in the past and currently possess valid 10-year visas for both the UK and Canada. Despite witnessing many denials, I am relieved that my application was successful, and I am now looking forward to my trip to the US. good luck to everyone else.

Lagos or Abuja

Hello,
Trust you are fine.

I applied for the three myself without using an agent, however, when is your exam? Are you on Telegram? Just give me your username. or you can send me a mail

Karenchynee:
Hello hunnee i have been trying to apply for this e visa but no way is there anyway you can be of help or refer me to an agent.. My exam date is near im feeling sad recently got my third SA visa.

Makes it my third time visiting SA in 3 months.

Applied same day, and got visa same day.

Via DHA


DHA is still most preferable.

I advise you all to take your time , be calm and study the processes on the portal before you begin.

Knowledge is power.

Most of the queries asked here are on the website.

Just go through them carefully and establish some contact too in the process..


I also want to say for those sending me mails on how to convert tourist visa to resident permit, please confirm from the query department.


One thing I do for sure is that I read alot and have been able to gather lots of information on visa processes which aids my application.

So , I encourage everyone to do same, it will help alot.

Goodluck guys.

ok

Always

TheLoanGuy:
Thank you

No.
Immigration may ask you what you do for a living that is all.
Your BTA/PTA is something they ask you at point of departure, not entry.
Just carry enough money to cover your stay, Naira cards dont work in Rwanda.
Kyarwandese as they are referred Speak french and their local lauguage. No ethic groups in Rwanda, they have just 1.

Be informed Please, so you dont get stranded, Naira is not accepted. They spend Rwandfrancs
You can use your credit cards very well at the KCB machines in CBD and town.

Regional payment channel(Mpesa) for East Africans is also accepted by Pos agents.

Rwanda is a clean country, very hospitable people.
They also have their own local transport system called YEGO.

Preferred Airline from Lagos(Direct Flight): RwandAir

I wish you all safe trip to the Historic Country , Popularly known as a Land of a Thousand Hills

TheLoanGuy:
Is there a minimum USD cash one should have? I think I'll consider Rwanda, I don't want to go through SA stress again for now.

Ma Pleasure

Atinukemi23:
Yay!!!
Thank you!

Visa on arrival. Soon as you arrive/dis-embark from plane in Kigali, you head for immigration, your passport get stamped. Safe flight and dont forget to visit the Kigali Memorial Center for some education on the 1994 Massacre.

Happy Stay

Atinukemi23:
Just a quick one, is Rwanda visa on arrival for Nigerians travelling from Nigeria ?
Need to be very sure that I do not need to apply for the E-Visa online ?
Thanks.

Visa issues and concerns on your applications should be forwarded to:

tommy.makhode@dha.gov.za - DG, Home Affairs

These are contact of Top Persons at Department, Home Affairs.

PART 1

If you followed this conversation from a page backwards, I started off by saying I had a conversation with a lady that works with Border Management Authority (BMA) and relayed the feedbacks I got.

I didn't even add that I was defending some Nigerians that came to the office to beg when they didn't allow them travel with expired visas.

When you are referencing, you don't make comparisons, you state your point and make them clear.

That is the essence of a debate. It is supposed to be educative , engaging and informative. If the parties decides to exchange words, that is left for them because i did state it clear that whilst we are engaging ourselves, we remain courteous.

We don't have to get personal or emotional about what is already known, we are supposed to take charge of that situation.

Crisis management, damage control, Yes, It is ok.

Emdee was a loose talker, he sold himself directly to the media and guess what, that interview was a paid one.

No sane person will face camera and say those things. It is not the same here.

The essence of this conversation is for everyone to be alive, awake and in the light of the re occuring events, possibly we can re align, and open a conversation to allay these concerns.

How else do we talk about a matter of national interest which is terribly affecting every honest Nigerian.

In the open or behind cameras?

Atleast, the lady from South Africa has spoken her mind and the community she represents.

It is signal for us to thread carefully since we now how they feel and their thoughts about Nigerians.

I am not even one to be told to Promote Nigeria. I do that effortlessly.

Please let us maintain the essence of this conversation which is to inform, educative and enlighten readers on the need to do better outside their motherland.

PART 2


Make una dey calm down.

This is a debate , everyone is expected to air their opinions on issues as they deem fit freely and expressly with courtesy.

Supporting a South African or Nigerian is not even the issue.

That feedback was sent to calm the tension amongst respondents.


Una expect me to support what is not known Or the one that is known?

Who does not know here that Drug Peddling is hot in these regions Or Na Matter of Cultism or Illegal Migration (Unfortunately, I will not support any irrespective of my nationality)



I will gladly announce to all Parties that this session has ended.

Further debates or arguments are at your own discretion, anything that comes out of it, you are on your own.

Above all, when we argue , we should try to avoid making use of insulting and harsh words, this is something I find very unpleasant about this platform.

I think we can do better irrespective of our tribal or cultural differences.

God Bless Africa , Federal Republic of Nigeria and South Africa.

Make everybody rest now abeg.

Goodevening My People.

[END]

I have been to SA three times this year, when people say, South Africans are lazy , Please what they mean by that?

where do they get the statistics from?

I am not supporting anyone, just stating the facts.

yes, the larger percentage of South Africans do menial jobs, but they are quite engaged.

or should we seek clarity on these statements for better understanding? Do you mean South African Men or the Women are lazy?

Because in the cold in major cities, i saw locals cleaning shops, sweeping the street, and working.

I have visited from Garsfontein, Jo burg, Kempton, Pretoria, Hatfield, Major centers in town, I saw a very active city filled with hustling activities.

I dont understand where that is coming from.

And you Lionessza,
Just tell us that you like Nigerians alot , because you are very informed than even alot of Nigerians about happenings.

Or are you just an impostor claiming South African whereas you are Nigerian?

Talk to us

Ok, Please check

SerenaStyles:
No problem

All sides have made valid points.
They are acknowledged.

We hope everyone has been impacted or learned by this discuss, it is now on us to act.

Lionessza6:

The fact that everyone acknowledged that Nigerians are honest and hardworking is even encouraging. Please help us spread the message to your fellow compatriot, so they can tone down the stereotypes on the genuine ones.

The ones found culpable of contravening or offences should be severely dealt with.
What i find annoying is when someone says all Nigerians are the same. That rhetoric needs to stop!

Please!
