U mean I should apply for 6month tourist visa despite the fact that I av been issue family visa six month b4?

babybird82: Okay, I was at the embassy today. The interview took abt 10/15mins. Was basically asked similar questions in the application form. By next week I should get my passport and supporting documents returned from Abuja with their decision. Still can't comprehend why they had to call me for a face to face interview.

Vicjustice: I do not totally agree with this-that a chance of getting a visa is high because an applicant had been called for interview. Know that the majority of people whose applications are approved are not called for interview: usually, interviews are considered if there are questionable issues with an application or if there are things that need explanations.
Most applicants are not deemed necessary to be interviewed before their visas are approved or refused.

babybird82: Hi guys,

I just got a call from the British high commission in Abuja requesting me to attend an interview tommorrow at the deputy high commission. Please can someone shed more light as regards what its all about? I was asked to come with just my collection slip.

nawao: @ JT2010...Thanks for the suggestion, however, when hotel reservation is booked I understand you have 24 hrs to the proposed date to cancel,or else you may not be able to cancel any more, also if we extend my wife's n baby's return ticket by 2 weeks will it not come with additional cost.

Thank you.

nawao: I really appreciate the swift responses... you guys are the bomb,imagine all this consultancies for free . Anyway, I am considering making a fresh hotel reservation for a day or two and will eventually stay for the days, after which we ill move to my in-lwas(wife relations)place. If ask at the POE while just a day or two days reservation when our return ticket is implying that we ill be around for 2 and 4 weeks respectively. I dont know if the explanation that we booked it for a short period and will renew if we like the place.

I really dont want any mistake to spoil this trip/fun I really need to give my family a treat. Whats your take please.

Thank you.

nawao: Goodday great people of Nairaland...

Please I have a UK Tour/visit visa for myself wife and 1 year old baby..We used hotel reservation to apply but got it cancelled after the visa was issued,we are actually staying in my wife's relations place(though not mentioned in our application cos of documentation palaver). I want to ask if the clearance officer in the UK will raise issues concerning our not having hotel reservation at the point of entry, because we stated that we ill be staying in a hotel during the visa application process?..

Also Can i stay for 2 weeks while my wife and baby stays over for 4 weeks before returning to Nigeria? if yes hope it will not affect our 2 years renewal.( Our Visas was granted in December to June 2013) This is our first visa as well.

I will appreciate great response as usual.

I will be graduating with a Msc Information Technology from the University of Liverpool by July, 2013, but i intend to migrate with my family to canada thus i intend to use the student visa route, which am hoping that i can later use use to seek for canada PR. I plan seek admission from George Brown college... Find link to the course: http://www.georgebrown.ca/T405-2013-2014/

My question to the expert in the house is:

Is the college and course considered viable enough by CHC Embassy in Nigeria?
Can the course allow me to seek CEC or PR after i complete the course?
What is the job prospect as it relates to the course!!!

Please help with your contribution.... before i consider seeking admission into the college.

@jt2010: u mean in ur own case being ur own sponsor, ur answer is the same to both questions.

babybird82: Hello Guy, thanks for all your help so far.
Filling my form and got confused with these 2 questions.

5.15: What money is available to you for your trip.
5.19: What is the cost to you personally of your stay in the UK.

Sponsor is Hubby and Myself.

Thanks.

steph7: Na u sabi the wakanow , you are using to Uk ?. I used wakanow to purchase last ticket to the Uk and even future don a nairalander here, purchased his ticket through qatar airport office and yes he provided his visa docs. You don't have to lie to prove your point.

steph7: have you ever used wakanow to book a ticket to the US or UK ? I am sure your answer is No. I have so I know what i am saying. This poster here is at fault too for not looking at the date. It is actually mandatory for wakanow or any other travel agency to check that the buyer of the ticket has the relevant travel documents before issuing a ticket. do your research properly and y[b]es you scan all your documents and mail to them, you do not have to go to their office.[/b] Ask any one that has used wakanow for an international journey, I am not talking about Ghana oh!

steph7: I didn't read the original post, and 2 you have obviously not used wakanow to buy a ticket before. wakanow is not supposed to issue you a ticket before your visa departure date. they always ask for your documents, by issuing a ticket before your visa departure date, they knew the OP will run into trouble. they wanted to chop and go.

steph7: I used qatar to the UK and their services were excellent, however, the post that was quoted , I think the fault is from wakanow not qatar. Wakanow likes playing games for their intl flights . My suggestion is buy your ticket yourself from qatar's office at the airport and go along with all your documents

deaquellota: Hello UKSA2013

1) I enterred the US at 37 weeks. I could not afford to stay too long and other places I called would not accept me after 5 months.
2) I enterred the US through NYC but i was told that going through houston is faster. At the time I did not know :-(
3) I did not have any problem but I did pay for my medical services ahead of time. The people at the clinic said that this procure is legal but the reason that they sometimes give you problems for delivery is because they might suspect you will not pay. So I decided to pay ahead of time so I would be able to prove that i would not leave the country without paying (this is why they they hassle some people). The clinic sent me proof of my payment.
4) The birth certificate took less than 5 weeks and the passport took another 2 weeks. This is another reason why I left at 37 weeks and this clinic was best for me.
5) in total i stay a little less than seven weeks. The service was very good for me because they already focus on international patients and understood me and made me feel comfortable. Although the majority of the patients were from Mexico, the doctor spoke English and were very friendly. The cost was the least expensive for the procedure and hotel.

I was very fearfull at the beginning but i after coming back everything went well. I am very thankfull that i was able to get all the information from this site. I will go back to the same clinic for my next baby.

jennykadry: Msc in what? @Dmitroka


@bbamega

I honestly have no idea about accountant and master of commerce. Truth is, Australia tries to hold onto what they can hold on to and give what they cant get from themselves. You don't need a degree to work in a bank here as an accountant. Many of the "accountants" here that do our Tax year for us were trained intensively for 1 month. The gardener where I work has a daughter that works in ANZ bank. The only qualification she has is her high school but she was trained for it and got the job.

What am I saying? since you don't need a degree or qualification to work in their banks or accounting offices, they would pick their own people to do the job for them and because their people don't like studying let alone tough courses like Engineering, Nursing, Medicine, mining, and all them tough science courses etc, they employ foreign workers to do the job for them. That is why I said earlier that, there are a lot of occupations in their skilled lists that do not guarantee Permanent residency but those tough ones could get you in. It's a 80%-20% chance.

I am not saying accountants can't get a job, all I am saying that many of them that work as "accountants" here have no top qualification.

mercylicious: What u shld tell them is dt u want passport extension. I did mine feb this year and it didn't cost as much as 50k, its arnd 40k or 35k. Nt sure again. I did mine at Abuja. Heard its only abuja and Lagos dt do it in Naija. After d extension, they take ur passport and issue u another one, so u might want to reconsider if u already have travel history- visas and stamps on ur passport. It is nt sumtin dt can be done by proxy- u must be at immigration (abuja/lagos) for biometrics, so even if they collect 800K frm u at any other immigratn office apart frm d listed, they will send it to either abuja or Lag and will still tell u to go there for biometrics.
