seems you never tire for scam abi. Let him come home and restrategize. Canada student visa is not something done urgently. Read for the steps involved https://www.nairaland.com/5818588/canadian-student-visa-thread-part

Your name is ‘justwise’,pls don’t let me down! Reread my comment till you get the answer to your question!

Irenenwaka:
Hello Justwise thank you for your input. it highly respected and appreciated. Firstly with this approach, i will be unable to provide an exact answer as to how much my mums monthly earning or annual earning is. i would be only able to make an estimate, as we all know the business structure in Nigeria, sales flunctuate severely each month hence profit fluctuation.

From the last 2 applications i made that was denied, i submitted her bank statement and i only estimated an annual income. the ECO claimed they couldnt prove my mum earns the claimed annual income from the bank statement which they saw....This is very true because a business person's income isnt as fixed as a white collar professional, so i wonder how i am expected to provide an annual incopme from a very fluctuated bank statement.

i think this is the biggest advantage white collar professionals has over business owners.

Justwise please do you see my point? This is just me trying to rub minds with you, if thats ok

UhnNah:
What’s the difference between preparing your own tax and intentionally paying yourself monthly salaries just to apply for a visa,it’s not fraud?! Lol! I think it’s a ‘Lazy’ procedure on the side of the Eco’s,We’re Nigerians,way of life and business runnings are different! It’s like when it’s not salary style account,they don’t understand it!

They need to do a thorough survey on Nigerians so as to know how to grade our applications properly! If you don’t know us,how would you be able to grade properly?

They spend so much time looking for what’s wrong instead of looking for ways to make it easier for people that actually qualify for a visa but doesn’t appear like it at first glance!


Telling grown family men and women to avoid putting so so monies in their account,transferring money up and down for months for visa! I get it! It’s the procedure,follow it or leave it! But UK people needs to do a re-study on Nigerians! You can’t use the style of a country that’s over 200yrs to grade a 60 year old country!

opomulero:
instead of all these, why cant she be paying herself then use the receipt of tax paid to government as tax docs, believe u me , these oyinbo knows all this backyard tricks of running payslips etc, its better she pay herself, show how and what she pay herself monthly and use that govt tax receipt she normally pay to those council guy, this will make everything original and authentic. one hand visa don come o

dehiero:
Ask her to get a payslip from someone and use the same format for hers as well

Irenenwaka:
Hello Dehiero, i have got a similar suggestion from someone......please do you know how she can do this?? and would any taxation need ot be shown on the payslip?(if yes what is the tax percentage in Nigeria).........Please how can she go about this payslip thingy?

dami24:

Justwise pls help

firstLadyy:
Guys pls, a friend of mine wants to apply as a dependant and has had 2 uk refusals for undergraduate studies in 2007 and 2009. The name he used then is quite different from what hes using now. he used Ndubisi Obiora then, but his current passport is carrying Paul Obiora same date of birth, pic, signature n all.
1. Should he declare the refusals since its not the same name he's currently using?
2. he cannot find the first refusal letter and cannot remember why he was refused. What can he do in this case.
Pls gurus in the house, what's ur take on this?
@justwise @mimilyrics @LagosismyHome other guru pls help

Fabfive:
Good evening, Justwise, Mimi and anyone who has ever received calls regarding their applications :

I missed a call from the British High Commission Abuja, even though we applied in Lagos. No prior emails notifying us of the call. I’m guessing they called because of my dependant’s application as I’ve already received my own visa.

It’s been 2 days after and they haven’t called back.
I’m just wondering it this has ever happened to anyone and are calls usually from here (Lagos/Abuja)?. I thought the calls were from the Decision making offices in UK or Pretoria? Do they call from Nigeria as well?

Pls help clarify if you have answers.

Thanks!

DANIREM:

VAC...... Ikeja

It has been a long journey!
With 2 visa refusals from US and Canada for me, 4 visa refusals for my hubby (2 from US alone this year)...it was a journey full of faith, prayers and determination. So many errors along the way, issues with my hubby's passport made us do a new passport within a week. It was a mental hurdle for us all but thank GOD it finally ended in PRAISE!!

Thanks to everyone here@mimilyrics, justwise, and so many others who I picked your brain on how to make this possible..you guys are 10 zillion much. With this, I draw the curtain on my constant commentary here as school work has started in earnest and I need to switch focus from applicant to student mode (LOL).

I pray for all those who are waiting, about applying or have applied..the same God that made ours a success in spite of everything, will do the same for you. Stay strong guys..the race is not to the swift nor to the strong but to him whom God shows mercy. I will miss you all but I gotta move on now..

Adieus Amigos! Au revoir mes amis!

Dear Justwise,
I have read in many handles and see all you do. God bless you.
Please I have a wife and a son and I got an admission for Sheffield Hallam and Birmingham city uni. Both on data science. I have a post graduate degree in computer science here. And I have 3 years work experience with data analytics..in a financial institution.
School fees is 12k pound. I intend to pay 4kpounds fees upfront, and go to UK with 4 months worth of rent and living cost and 4 months worth of fees additional. The rest I will work it out in the UK with my wife. We have a relative who lives in wolves (hence my preference for Birmingham) so we can be sharing parenting since they have 2 kids all below 6years.
Thing is, UK isnt my destination, it is my spring board. Can this working arrangement really pull through so I dont put my family in jeopardy.

Symbae:
Hello gurus in the house,

I just moved to the UK and still isolating yet to move to my accomodation, I tried opening an account with monzo using the app but unfortunately after verification of my ID, I got the attached picture. What could be the reason and possible solution to this because I just moved here. Please help@mimilyrics, justwise or anybody that can help

Bourne007:
This new visa is a big change compared to the tier 4 visa. Part timers can apply, dependants can switch in-country, no proof of financial requirements after 12 months etc.

@justwise.. Looks like a new thread needs to be created.

umarwy:
Exactly what my problem is as well expired card no token

And yeye Vodafone made me reset my phone.

bigtt76:
Ooh wow... I get you. My thought however is that if you already have access to internet banking, you could use the same login on the mobile app but I guess you need to first link the device.

Have you looked through the internet banking platform to see if no option to link device in there? Also, if you're roaming your Nigerian line, try using 2G option instead of 3G/4G before dialing your bank's USSD code string.

I hope it helps if not then you might have to get a new card. I know GT bank re-issue the same card number albeit with new expiry dates and retains your old pin (don't know if this has changed though but worth trying out).

anastasius:
Narcissistic fellow. Message passed

anastasius:
Justwise, you are not god. Work on your emotional health and psychological state, it would do you alot of good. Don't think you are faceless, some of us know you but keep embarrassing yourself on Nairaland. The most you can do is to ban for years.

bigtt76:
Ok so try login with your Internet bank details and see if it allows you in. If you've forgotten it and it have your card pin, click on Sign up and navigate to the Existing Customer option, click on it to try retrieve your credentials online.

bigtt76:
Checked your email account registered to your account? Have you been enrolled on the GTBank's internet banking platform before?

bigtt76:
The GT World app was meant to be the bank's bridge between a conventional banking app and the social media world... has a little bit more features

bigtt76:
Try the GTBank World app dial *737*7# to get token number

bigtt76:
You can use the app without the token though

Safiguy4u:
100% correct, I know 3 people (2 ladies and 1 guy) who have gotten their leave to remain in the UK with work permit through baby born to a British citizen.

Vasco1dagama:
hahahaha, you truly don't understand how it works. the those who gets it aren't magicians either but got it within 6 months.
if you think spouse visa is the best route, have a rethink because recent laws passed by Congress was designed to frustrate applicant efforts.
am not here to post what am not sure about, for clearity sake you can email me let me contact you to more than 5 guys that got it under 6 months.
coming back home can be diecy. meanwhile if the lady accept to come along and with prayers , he may be granted especially as there is child in-between.
