Hello all,

Please I saw an affordable airline ticket to Toronto YYZ but it is Delta airline from Lagos (LOS) to YYZ with a single stopover at "Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport" for 3 hours. Please do I need US-transit visa as I am also connecting to last-leg of the journey at the same airport to Toronto?


Please advise.

It's been a great learning curve till now and I'm so so grateful!!

Hello,

Please, how long does it take Lagos VFS to processing PPR now? Where is the fastest VFS?

Hello IT expert living in Canada,

I may sound somehow but I sincerely don't have friends or someone in Canada to ask this question.

Please what is the average salary for Senior manager role in Toronto?

I checked glassdor and payscale but I would love to hear from ppl like you here based on your experience.

I am at the last stage of my PR application (every parameter passed but still waiting for RFV). So, I have started job hunting and luck for me as I do get some reply to most cv I've submitted.

Thanks

Phummy2984:
Hi guys, good morning. I need your help I applied for a standard 2 years uk visit visa in June and got a refusal mail today 30th of august 2022. The content of d mail is not in any way related to me. My first passport was gotten in 2010 and my first 6 month visa to uk was in 2010. I also did my masters in uk in 2012 then I had a 2 years student visa. After d expiration of my student 2 years visa I also got another 2 years visiting visa in 2014. I have been in Nigeria since then. I applied for a 2 years visit visa now and was refused. In 2008 I was still an undergraduate not even gotten a Nigerian passport not to talk of a uk visa. I have never been deported nor had any criminal conviction both in uk and Nigeria, I don’t drive not to talk of driving license. I have never been banned nor seek asylum. I think there is a mix up with some other person’s application. Pls how do I sort this out what are my options. I will attach a copy of d refusal

Sorry for this missed-up. If your claims were genuine that mean the ECO searches home office DB without diligently and arrive at his/her decision. This is going to cost you a lot of money as you may need to get an immigration lawyer in UK with good reputation. The lawyer may sue the home office for false claims and negligence with a significant false representation. Do not reapply until you clear your name as your subsequent applications could be thrown into the bin of 10 years ban. Try to get a good lawyer to request for information, do UK police info search or certificate, UK court record search.

Moreover, you have a great chance of winning this case with some costs. you claimed you've never step foot into UK in 2008 and the ECO claim seems contradicting you travel history.

Relax and enjoy the show.

Adebayo347:
I need someone to put me through on appeal / judicial review . This is my second refusal and reapplying will make me look desperate but this is so unfair !
I Submitted
CAC document
Business account
Personal account
Landed document
Car receipt
World traveller insurance
Cover letter
Sponsor documents :uncle : British passport , pay slip s three month , P60 and invitation later
Travel history: Dubai (work and visits )
Georgia (Europe)
Seychelles
Kenya
Ghana
Republic of Benin
And while the application was going on with keep my passport option ( went to Rwanda)

My Question is :
Can’t my economic circumstances improve ? In 6 months a lot has happened - Inflation , dollar increase . My business is general trading , logistics . I can’t evaluate how much I will make in a year in its appropriate figures but the facts are presented in the account statement that is why it is requested

Sorry about the refusal. The ECO just wanted to denied your visa with his/her view. In my own point of view, you haven't address the issues on your first refusal in Jan 2022. If money was the reason for the first refusal and you failed to declare huge increase in the second application. Thus, it shows that you have inconsistence financial increase in couple of months. I will advise you to reapply and explain the reason and all source of your income and the increment.

Prepare your application as if you are saddest/wicked/racist ECO that are ready to refuse 90% of applications.

If you don't mind try to secure another country's visa before submitting fresh application this year or you'll postpone your new application till next year. This is an advice to reduce the sense of desperation.

Kayceeeee:
Good day everyone
Please help, I'm in a fix. I'm currently a youth corper and will pass out likely in November and already have my UK student visa and plan to travel in September. Does anyone have any idea on how I can collect my nysc certificate if I miss those remaining two months?
Thanks in advance

It's depends on your Local government inspector and your PPA. Just try to reason with your LI and your coordinator.

On the other hand, you don't need that certificate, NYSC certificate does apply to UK market. Try all you best to blend with the current job in-demand in UK and find your ways to ILR. Please reason like someone who is ready to stay in UK. Good luck

stacey1994:
really a test of faith indeed.

please has anyone ever experienced delays with update of medical results? Added a newborn and did upfront medical results which they asked us to scan and upload. I called IRCC and they confirmed they received the medical results over 3 weeks ago....I am suprised it is taking so long for them to update the profile with the results

has anyone ever experienced such

If you know your VO, send direct email to them with your UCI number as the email subject and "eMedical Form". Remember to attached the eMedical form. It's works for me as my upfront remed Medical passed 2 days after i sent the email

Manydethink:
Please my huby got this refusal mail this week. Please I will really appreciate if the gurus in the house can advice us on subsequent actions to remedy it when applying next time. Find attached the refusal mail

One those UK ECO forget to believe that Nigeria government web application lacks proper management and better IT professionals to create centralized database management syn. Sorry for the refusal.
If you search your company on https://search.cac.gov.ng/list you will see below output.

1. The refusal simply means that the address on CAC website was not tally with you address on the application.
2. Whenever there are deposit or transfer greater than you monthly income in your statement of account, you must explain the source and the reasons for the money.
3. Try to amend the CAC issue to make your Business registration active.

The ECO just wanted to find a way to refuse you application. Sorry you can reapply once you've resolved the the listed eye catching issue on your refusal letter.

Vitusvivi:
Pls i need your opinion on this matter
My proof of fund started on the 25th july, and now i have picked 23rd August for my Biometrics, and intend to print and submit my statement of account on the 22nd August night before attending the appointment for my biometrics. From 25th july to 22nd August, is my statement of account due for submission, Advice pls.

That's exactly 28days which is still the minimum requirement days. The risk is that the ECO would probably have second thought on you POF. These ECOs have discovered the borrowing POF for one months at some fees, try to postpone your Biometric date by at least a week. Do not risk both of your chance and visa fees. Exactly 28 days tends to cause some miss calculation.

Hello,

Please advise on my visa application.

I recently secure my Canada PR visa for me and 2 dependent (they have no traveling history). I have been to UK 5 times btw 2012 and 2019 on visit and study visa, USA 2 times on visit btw 2017 and 2019.

Our plan now is to stop-over in UK for 3/4 days on our route to Canada this year.
My issues is that; We (me and my spouse) don't have salary account to support our application as I lost my job 2 years ago. The company I am presently working for paid in cash even the salary is not as strong for presentation to UK embassy. The only option i have for financial circumstances is the POF fixed deposit (for canada PR application and it is X 4 of visa requirement for family of 3). The POF was our savings before the contract termination with the previous employer.

What is the chance of securing 6 months visit visa to UK with Canada settlement visa on our passport?
Any information would be well appreciated. thanks

Segun889:
I don’t quite agree on the 99.9% refusal. If you have genuine reason and especially if it’s not at the end of your program your chances are good

By the way only London office is operating consular services currently whilst Belfast isn’t.

I wrote 99.999% which means there is still 0.001% chance of securing visa. The applicant can try his/her luck on it. The rule is that: US VO knows that you have a limited stay in UK, thus, he/she would prefer to refuse the visa as every applicants are entitle to 2 years US visa. For that reason, the VO might think you will return to US after your study/program in UK or you prefer to stable your study/program in the eye and stay in US. There are still chances to secure the visa, but visitor route is not the way. The applicant should think for better chance. Mind you those VO also knows about the tsunami of leaving Nigeria.

Please for every prospective Japa friends always have something to offer the develop country to maintain greater chance of visa.

danieldg:
Hi Guys.

Please I need help on how to apply for U.S visa, I'm currently in UK, have a UK study visa.

I want to know how I can apply for the u.s visitor's visa asap. Thankss

You can use this same DS160 to fill the form, and search for US visa appointment in UK website. You must use UK address on your visa application and appointment.

Important note, do waste your money and time on the US visa application in UK, There is 99.999% of refusal chance for Nigeria student going to US for visa from UK on study permit. The VO knows your plan to move to US permanently as UK immigration plans do not favor African (Nigeria). Just find another means to go to US forget about the visitor style or conference style.

You may try your luck. not bad in trying my friend

ekpotek:


Did you register online or through an app?

Through App

ekpotek:
Asking for a friend. Can you pay for UK student visa application with a Naira debit card? I usually pay with dorm debit card.

Try Alat by Wema dollar virtual card.

House, is there any alternative to Alat by Wema, I often use Barter by Flutterware before it was shutdown. I only registered for Alat by wame today I have not try it yet

Please which VFS did you use for PP submission

Apologies for the late post. It's been a long time coming and I was too exhausted with the wait and the mental stress I went through.

I knew about this process in 2016 then I was hoping I will make the POF from proceeds of MMM but, my money has been frozen for like forever ���.
After the heartbreak and no source of pof in sight I decided to chill. Fast forward to 2018 something good came then we decided to start the process with credential evaluation.
Between 2018- 2020 I wrote ielts 7 times it wasn't easy at all.
During one of the exams I had a conversation with my children:
Me: telling my kids that I will be traveling to write exams
Child: mummy is it the same exams that takes you to portharcourt?
Me: yes
Child: hmmmmmm, mummy is this how you will keep on writing this exams until you become a Grandma?
Me: laughing and crying at the same time. It was my 6th attempt then. It hurt so bad that I didn't make it but I had to tell them I didn't when the results came. Luckily I did it afterwards.

We submitted in November hoping everything will click by may 2021 but for where?
Jan 2022 we got ADR for remedicals and we did it in February. Longest silence after then when everyone was getting PPR. I wrote to cio sotay them bounce me, they asked me not to send a mail to them again.
I wrote to portal-portail, those one's to said I should stop. I disturb them Sha as I was writing at least 3 times a day. Kept on writing to RROC until I got tired myself. The anxiety was out of this world.

Las Las I got a mail on the 6th but saw it on the 7th. When I opened it and I saw something about not booking flight and that I should notify them on any changes I felt sick because I thought it was another Adr, but it wasn't.
I remain grateful to everyone here answering questions especially the 2018 crew as I learnt a lot during that time.

Kudos to ednut as he is one amongst the few that is still here helping out despite being in Canada as most people leave this forum when they move.

Hello everyone preparing to do PCC at Alagbon, or redo PCC.

Please avoid a woman call "Yemi" in room 70. She is not a scam but she will frustrate your life, she is so rude, lack interpersonal skills. My advice for you all is to do whatever it takes to use another personnel. Her behavior is open for investigation someone may try to investigate her behavioral attitude. This is not a tarnish but my personal review of her attitude.
