PrinceAdeAde: Yes, I indicated my family as non-accompanying during SP. During SOWP and VV, situation had changed; my wife and kids were missing me. 1 Like |

skull4eva: Thanks, skull4eva. SOWP: * Kids' passports and birth certs * Spouse's degree certificates * Spouse's home ties (family and business) * Upfront medicals (for all 3) * POF (business acct, personal acct, my GIC, student acct statement) * Proof of relationship (wedding pictures, wedding certificate) * My docs (letter of authorization, student ID, enrolment letter, SIN, study permit * Spouse's IELTS (was available, so why not) * Spouse's police cert * Spouse's SOP * Covid 19 vaccination VV: Basically the same as SOWP, but the SOP was phrased differently and travel consent for the kids. Please, who knows the procedure for sending passports for a parent and 2 kids to Abuja? 7 Likes 1 Share |

PPR, baby!!!! Oh, wow. What a ride. Applied for SOWP for my wife and VV for my 2 kids on Nov 17, 2021. Then applied for VV on the new portal for all three on Dec 30, 2021. Received GCMS notes 2 days ago, mentioning home ties. Then today, messages about both applications appeared in wifey's inbox. When I saw them, my heart sank. I felt, this is it. E don finish. I opened the VV on the new portal first. It said "withdrawn because a visa has been issued for your SOWP". It's still like a dream! In short, PPR for SOWP on the old portal (VV for kids withdrawn) and PPR for kids on the new portal. I have to mention @Lianna2020 for all her help and support. You're absolutely awesome!!! To anyone still anticipating, please don't lose hope. Cheers!!! 24 Likes |

Biko, I don't fully understand this new travel exemption method. Someone, please help: as a student that has applied for SOWP for my spouse, can I go ahead and apply for the exemption? Or should I withdraw the application and apply for a visitor visa then the exemption? Or the SOWP and visitor visa and exemption should run concurrently? Please advise. |

Hi, fam! Hope everyone is doing ok. For those yet to write their SOP, I have attached a template that you may wish to make use of. Of course, not all headings will be applicable and there may be a need for additional headings, based on individual stories. However, this is the template I used and was given a PPR, so hopefully it will be useful to someone else out there. Also, I think using a template, as opposed to reviewing submitted ones, reduces the chances of plagiarism and helps the writer focus on the uniqueness of his/her journey; this makes convincing the VO a lot easier. Lastly, it's always a good idea to have someone else review your SOP. I believe GCMSWriters would do justice to this. Cheers. CC: Justmellow 13 Likes 7 Shares |

Erica661: I also did upfront in IOM Abuja (on 1st April). I was called on 7th April that I passed. Since then my status wasn't updated until 2 days ago (May 19th) to passed. That was 6 weeks' wait. Yours has been 2 weeks. Perhaps wait a little? Just a suggestion. |

Ibukun2000: Sure, it's fine. I opened mine via internet banking. I believe you would need a current account first though, as the dom account would be linked to it. It's a hassle visiting the bank to do this so try online - it's super easy; barely an inconvenience 1 Like |

Good morning house! NSE request received this morning (my biometrics was updated 16th April, same day I did it). Concerning MBS, instead of 6 months' funds for an account of 12 months, I have 4 months and 10 months respectively. Is it advisable I submit all the same, perhaps including an LOE? Considering also that I have a GIC since November 2020. Kindly advise. |

Hi JustMellow, Thanks a mil for your advice! I opened the GIC account 3 weeks ago (November 26). Like you've said, I will ask the bank for a letter that says "Student Loan". All our correspondences up until now have only said "Loan". Fingers crossed. My plan is to offset the debt when I resign (I will be eligible for some funds from the company on resignation). I don't know if I should mention this, as I don't know how to prove this. Thanks again! JustMellow: |

Hello House, I'm new to this, but here goes: I need advice on POF, please. My profile is as follows: * University of Windsor offer letter accepted; deposit of $4,000 paid * Start date: InterSummer (May) 2021 * Program: Mechanical Engineering (MEng) * Current degree: B.Sc Mech Engr * Work Experience: 9+ years engineering experience; currently working * Intending home ties: family and land For POF, thing is, I don't have millions saved away for months. What I do have is a GIC for $10,000 (covers LE) and a loan from GTB for N10m (got this only yesterday). Out of this, I have locked away N6m---I had some emergencies--but I expect to have about N10.5m saved before month end. Also, having been promoted this month, I will have even more in my savings by January ending - so, probably 15 to 20m. My concern is, with school starting in May 2021, do I have enough time to satisfy the VO about my POF? I know there's the option of deferring admission, but I rather wouldn't if I can avoid it. Many thanks to @Insanity for all the advice he has given me so far. He was the one who actually suggested I post this here, so gurus like @Frankrobbin1 and @Justmellow and others can further guide me. Your opinions and advice would be highly appreciated! |
