ewhoma:

I gave dis response with an incident I witnessed first hand @ NPC, lagos didn't I? Anyways, what harm would it do if u get it from ur state of birth if dt would put u on a safer side? D fact dt u n ur wife got ur visas inspite of dis dsnt mean it would be like dt for every oda person u know. Different strokes for different folks rem? Anyways, it is a matter of choice. I only gave my own contribution though. Besides, d guy like I said was applying for a German visa nt America. So, best of luck felas.

akintunde95: pls i need somone to direct me to where to change my date of birth in my inernational passport.............

kevwe_flex: This is from VisaOfficer. Just felt we should know this prior to interviews, and I quote:

Good morning! We do recognize NECO results. Applicants must have 5 scores of 5 or better in 5 different subjects on the WAEC, SSCE, NECO, or NABTEB certified exams; or they can qualify with a BSC degree, HND, or OND from an accredited university or polytechnic institution.

The WAEC or NECO subjects must be academic subjects (for instance, English, biology, math, etc.). Trade subjects, such as plumbing or garment making, do not count for the DV program.

We really, really like it when applicants bring scratch cards so we can verify their results. smiley

Good luck!

ukemeglitter: Hello guyz!!!

Please there is this friend of mine that did this mistake on his Initial application

This is the mistake

Date of Birth: Day-09/month-10/Year-1992

INSTEAD OF:
Date of Birth: Day-09/month-09/Year-1992

Please guyz is this going to affect him anywhere? because the forms he submitted is carrying the correct one:
Date of Birth: Day-09/month-09/Year-1992

Please he needs your help!!!!!

ukemeglitter: Thanks frnd,

but he is in PH does it mean he needs to go to Babs Animashaun Surulere Lagos to get it?

ewhoma:
NPC should be in each of d 36 states of d federation I believe. If he needs to get an NPC cert, it would have to be from an NPC branch in his state of birth o. U can't claim u were given birth to in Delta state for example and come to Lagos state NPC office to collect a cert. Cos I witnessed d case of a guy @ NPC surulere d day I went for mine, who was applying for a German Visa n was sent bak 4rm d embassy because he claimed to have been given birth to in Lagos n collected his birth cert from NPC enugu. Pls, endeavor to have ur birth cert done in ur state of birth. (NPC office of cos)

joexploit: @egbon morgan and other gurus in da house pls bail me out here. I need to know ao to monitor my visa so I don't go to d address and asked to check back due to d extreme nature of my current job. God favoured I and my family and we av five days to pick up d visas.

Secondly, please for 2014 and those awaiting 2013 interview, the CO understands dat dere are lots of errors in d application process, so just be bold and explain any error. If u are married get d pix ready and be ready to defend ur points. Also, never forget prayers cos God can do more dan u can imagine.

my wife's place of birth was wrongly captured durin application but we defended it during our interview and the CO smile and said "well it was just on d application" we were granted so cheers and let not ur hearts be troubled.

penticom: house, good evening, pls. how do they pay for visa fee at the usa embassy? pos or cash?

gokman4u:
Neco certificate
Omission of jst an alphabet.
They printed "ADEGO E" instead of "ADEGOKE"(omitted letter "K"
I went 2 their office several times immediately d result was released & d error was made by them way bck BEFORE d certificate was printed.
They asked me to write letter and assured it wuld be corrected b4 d certificate is printed.
But it surprised me 2 see d error again wen d certificate was ready.
All subsequent effort has proved abortive & d officer in charge at their office in ibadan even advised that I swear Affidavit in an High court & continue 2 use it like dat. He explained it will cost me #10k 2 request a reprint & it may nt be ready till after 2-3yrs.
So Affidavit is d only option av got left.
Pls do u av any format 4 dis kind of Affidavit?
Thanks

kevwe_flex:

@ Morgan. U dey try. I think the normal way to respond to a comment is that ur response comes after the comment, not the other way round. Not after reading ur comment, we'll now see that u were actually responding to a comment. *just correcting*

gokman4u: Thank you very much @John Morgan.
This is really helpful for some of us with discrepancy in our names.
I tried sending u a PM but it won't jst go thru.
Pls do u have any Affidavit format that could be useful to sm1 who has an omission of just an alphabet in his name?thank u
John Morgan]Please get an affidavit of name harmonization from a court to be on the safe side.

You can use the format below or simply go to court and they will help you draft one;

AFFIDAVIT OF NAME DISCREPANCY
I, _________________________________________________, of legal age, single/married/widow, citizen of ______________________ and presently residing at ______________________________________________________, after having been duly sworn to in accordance with law, do hereby depose and say:
That my name is __________________________________, as stated and registered in my birth certificate issued by the local civil registrar in country of my birth, Nigeria;
That the names ___________________ and_____________________
refer to one and the same person; and
That I am executing this Affidavit to clear any discrepancy which may arise from official documents bearing either name “___________________” or “____________________ “;
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this _________________ at __________________________, Nigeria
_______________________
(Declarant)

Good Luck

Early hours of 14th of August,armed robbers came into our apartment,meeting my husband alone in the house.They went with valuables and money,but to the glory of God my husband was left unhurt.Had it been i arrived abuja the night before,who knows,they would have gone with the visa packages.I just want to cease this opportunity to thank this Awesome God that our joy was not shattered by them.
