Uglyduckling:
There’s actually a marriage visitor’s visa

Yea but it is a waste of money because the requirement is pretty much like spouse visa

Sam8850:
I think you are missing the point and calling out fellow member(s) isn't allowed here.

I have reached out to different people on this thread/site privately as well as openly for different questions. If you do not understand the concept of privacy then why does this forum has a pm option?

You don't expect someone to come out here cause its an open forum to download their entire itenery just because its an open forum, where is the security there?

The thread is open to questions, answers and information needed to help members with work and family re-union visas. Which people have been posting there questions and members sharing answers as well.

Please if you have a question just go ahead and ask it and not call out member(s).

Thanks.

I will call you or anybody out when you keep asking for pm, there is nothing secret about securing a visa, so please discussion should be open here.

temitayoolu:
I don't understand this your message. I have had more people here sending me pm and I have replied most of them via PM.

Is there an issue with a p2p conversation with an old time buddy . ?

Yes there is when you open a thread and decided to share contact details rather than having an open discussion. If you can't share this info here for all to learn then what is the point of this thread?

temitayoolu:
Check your skype

If you and Sam8850 prefer private conversation then an open one then i will help make it quicker for both of you.

OK my oga.... it's like a firm that helps in saving your salary... and they also pay you interest on your savings with them... and you can collect all your money at any time.... so my question is that will my pay slip make the ECO understand I'm truly been paid? Or i should just collect all my money to my savings account? But my fear is that they might be thinking about the huge some of money deposited.... please help me @justwise

Present your payslips, salary account and the cooperative account

DrOBD:
What do you advise, should I send a mail to them, or should I land there with my wife, then stay back while she returns to Nigeria.

Do both for the sake of your next renewer and POE

DrOBD:
@justwise and all the gurus in the house, I need your advise.

My wife and I applied for UK visitors VISA last December, to travel on 26th December 2018. The purpose of the trip was to visit a friend, spend the new year with his family and return on January 7th 2019. However, our VISA wasn't ready until the new year (2nd Jan 2019). We also stated that we will travel with our children who are Americans (but didn't apply for a VISA for them).

I have registered for a professional exams in March and should travel to UK end of February. Is there any need to send a mail to the UK embassy explaining my new purpose of visit and the duration.

If I decide to travel without mailing the consulate, will there be any consequences if I eventually appear alone in London (without my wife and children).

Thank you in anticipation of your response.

You may not have a smooth entry into the UK because your initial plan has changed considerably

WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER FOR SOME TIME NOW AND WE WANT TO SETTLE DOWN THIS YEAR. WE BOTH WANT A SIMPLE WEDDING SO WE PLAN TO GET MARRIED IN UK.I'M A VIRGIN TRAVELLER. WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO GO ABOUT GETTING A VISA TO UK AND LINK UP WITH HER?

You need to get married in Nigeria then apply for spouse visa to join her in the UK

Contra5:
Thank you @justwise.

I got an email that appeal has been struck out and replied that I don't want it reinstated. I just hope I won't miss my exam after paying so much.

Struck off in your favour?

Inkredible:
Anyone claimed Tax Rebate last year?

Any heads up on this.

Justwise, davechapelle, lexusgs430,marylandcakes, disguy et al.

Non from me but they usually send you a letter after April 5th with details about how to claim back your tax.

Megalodonus:
Hello @justwise, I'm travelling to Edinburgh on the 13/14 for studies (course start date is January 9th latest resumption date February 1). Would it be okay to take a flight to Heathrow (i have a relation that lives in London) and then take a bus/train to Edinburgh a day or 2 later?

Yes you can do that

Njay100:
Thanks Justwise. I didnt know aboutt that. I just want to know if i still need a correspondence from the hospital after that letter

You do if you have any else go with the letter only.

Rotimi89:
Can i add a copy of the lost pasport data page if i have it?

You can

Njay100:
Hello everyone. I was scheduled for a 221g interview next week. I got this from my doctor. Is this ok to take to the embassy or do i need a separate correspondence from the hospital. Please help me

You don't have to paste that private document here, just explain the bills and the total amount to pay.

Contra5:
Hello House. Thanks for the good work here. Please I need your help.

I submitted an EEA Visa application and did biometrics on 24th October, 2018 but till now, I am yet to get any information from them. I initially made an application in September which was refused based on the fact that I didn't not attach my photos with my husband (EU citizen). My husband was quite angry about this and was of the opinion that ECO should have requested for more info since our contact details littered the application form. He then appealed the decision and attached payment details by post. UK visa got post some days after.(post tracker, UK didn't acknowledge it)

When we found out this takes about 60 days (least), we filed another application. I called the UK line a month after and was told a decision has been made on my application and my query escalated, still no email. I sent several emails in December and got a notification from Tribunal saying my appeal has been struck out since no payment was made.

My problem now is I have an International exam to write that requires my passport next 2 weeks. I have called the paid UK line this January and got the same "we escalate" and the lady said she couldn't see if a decision has been made (system glitch). Please advise me on what to do, @justwise, can I visit British High Commission physically?

I doubt that will be possible without an invitation.

If your application is not a priority one then you will not hear from them till last week of this month.

Yes appeal takes quite a while and if it finally gets to tribunal then expect longer than 6months.

Rotimi89:
Quick one pls
I was once rejected a US confrence visa before, and i plan to write brief about it on the more info about the aplication sheet: it was all about not having enough ties with home country.

Pls do i need to add the invitation letter for the confrence as eveidene to my documents and also the denial form?

Secondly, the passport i used in the US application got lost and i have a new passport now.
Do i need to explain that the passport number i used for the US application was diff from the one Used for UK now?
And if yes, can i also add the police report and affidavits sworn before getting my new passport?

Or should i just mention all as briefs as possible without any evidence of documents added?

Please any advice?


CC Justwise

Add the invitation letter, add the passport number in the form where they asked if you have used any other passport before, attach the police report and explain briefly about the US visa refusal, no need to attach refusal letter.

iaatmguy:
Justwise could you please address everyone to stop quoting the entire post?

Your justwise derangement syndrome will be cured very soon

Doublej805:
Please guru's help me read this cover letter and tell me what and what to remove or add... tanks....I must get this visa oh@justwise.

I don't understand the aspect of your salary being paid into your cooperative film, what does that mean?

Jenncamp:
Justwise , usa embassy cannot be wrong that ur one sided agurement but ..i disagree ..please you answer the question of discount lies by the embassy to denail renewer to innocent applicant and why the sterotype ??

I stand by my statement their is hidden agenda to reduce the number of nigerians given birth in usa

You really love hearing and believing your own lies so I let you enjoy that.

Jenncamp:
I disagree with u based on recent altitude of the usa embassy in nigeria toward child birth applicant for visa renewer..go and check the reason for recently refuser then you will know their is a hidden agenda to the whole birth things especially towards nigerians applicant!

No hidden agenda, they are just fed up with some Nigerians and their dubious/lies just the way you are encouraging the poster now.

@All

Please enough of this derailing, I have to go through 15pages cleaning up this thread.

Nobody's account was removed here(that is not even possible unless the owner deactivate it)

Dreew was banned for abusing another poster and if you have problem with that then report me to the admin but please no more derailing.

Thank you.

Ameera2018:
@justwise what will your advice be to us then...please bear in mind that some of us are new to this forum a[b]nd already have existing visas[/b]. With your experience please advise us before we make mistake

The VO has done justice to this sort of question in page zero of this thread, if the purpose of which the visa was issued has changed then get another interview and go with all the evidence for child birth OR risk it at the POE and visa re-newer.

The change of intent letter has been abused for a very long time so i'm not surprised that it has come to this

Mandydaisy:
I think the best thing to do is not add passport number and use initials because at POE some people get asked if they notified the embassy so what then do you do?

I've heard lately of people who paid ALL their bills and were trying to renew for visit purpose but got denied. This new banning policy is a norm for VO's not because of low bills or refusal to pay bills.

I think people will keep getting refused until we stopped bending the truth and face the reality

Wizplynfrosh:
My dad is in the usa he as permanent resident he is helping me and my younger sister do immigrant paper work he said it an American citizenship he also say, that when we go to embassy we will only thumbprint that there is no denial just visa so I want to ask is it true

No not true

davodyguy:
No problem. Its fine, you didn't disappoint with your response.

I would be visiting Auckland in September this year, going by your post above, I would create a thread and if anyone dare to express contrary opinion about my trip, I'll invite you as the MODERATOR to help delete or hide their posts.

Cheers

No i will ignore such invitation so that you have a taste of your own medicine.

Done with you on this

davodyguy:
What's your definition of derailing?

Also if this thread is a diary, I assume Seun Osewa did create a section for that isn't it?

Do comments that express contrary opinion automatically imply derailing? Cos I can see that you his some comments and left others. Some of the ones you his are mostly those that expressed contrary opinion, without insult or breaking a single rule. If that's the case, what justification do you have to hide the post?

In the religion section, Christians create threads about God and atheists freely post to criticize the existence of God. Even Seun Osewa who's an atheist do question people's belief in God, but no moderator deletes seun's posts or that of other atheists. Why do such in Travel section?

Its essential you clarify, by responding with humility as the post suggest

Its not and i will not waste my time again explaining this to you or anybody else.

The op will update the thread when he wants.

Grubsk:
Hello everyone,

I really need your help; I have a B1/B2 valid visa which I have use before; am due to travel in February and I sent an email to the embassy informing them that I would be traveling to have my baby and I got the below response from them less than an hour ago. Please I need advise on how to book a second appointment and what to expect. Thanks

“Thank you for your inquiry.

[b]Our records indicate that you applied for a different purpose of travel during your recent interview and/or DS-160 form submission. As your purpose of travel has now changed significantly to include medical treatment in the United States, you will need to return to the Consulate for a second interview. Please note that your visa is not valid for travel at this time.

For your second interview, you should bring all available information related to your planned medical treatment including correspondence with your doctor, the estimated cost of the procedure(s), any receipts showing prepayment for care, and evidence that you have the ability to pay for all costs while in the United States up to and including living expenses for yourself and any dependents. If the purpose of your travel is childbirth, you should also include a detailed birth plan.

If you have received any kind of medical treatment in the United States on previous visits, you will also need to bring evidence of payment of all fees and charges incurred to the interview. You should note any discounts or price adjustments received and indicate the source of these adjustments if known.[/b]


Regards,

Lagos Consular Section Chief

I will say that the US embassy was forced to start acting on letter of change of intent. People who refused to stop sending such letter can now enjoy this outcome.

francoteeboy2626:
please house,I plays talking drum and other instruments, if I can get a Nigerian church that can stand for me that there is no citizens that can play the talking drum for them, hence the need for me,can I get a work permit that way

Do you think that people will be stupid enough to believe that?

Happy new year!

Long post but might help somebody. ..

This is to appreciate everyone on this thread for your support and contributions towards my UK application process.
...6 mo tourist visa granted.First time.

@ekpotek-been a while on the thread.
@Justwise and other gurus here...u guys are super heroes.

Submitted on 12th Dec
Passport ready for collection 31st Dec
10 Working days

I basically joined this thread when i was about starting the process
I learnt a lot from this thread about how to keep your application simple, straight and honest.Also learnt about people's experiences.
This thread also made me believe i can DIY the whole process...which i did

With info gathered from NL, I refused to pay any agent but I eventually paid for it...I mistakenly chose premium lounge(42k) for submission which was not necessary for Abuja and my travel date . No regret for this though.

Got lots of wrong info from guys at metro plaza but with NL's guide I didn't go by their info.

So many mistakes but the ECO overlooked may be because of my documents(73 sheets) and honesty.

I'm ready to share my experience here with anybody that needs it. I also learnt a lot from people's granted and refused visa experiences posted here.

Application brief

Budget 500k
Salary 350K
Hostel booking
Salary account statement balance 2m
Cover letter to explain transactions in account especially other deposits apart from employer, previous Uk(over 10 years)and US visa refusals.
Letter from employer
Marriage cert with family pics, birth certs, Passport and visa pages.
Copies of my previous pp pages with travel histories.
Owned property papers......

I read from this thread that you are being watched and studied at the submission center...If this was true then I didn't desrve the visa.
Being premium lounge service which i couldn't cancel...I decided to enjoy my money by taking 2 cups of richly mixed chocolate drink and lots of snacks.
Was even chatting with staffs and other people around that i wish I could cancel the service.
Was struggling with my docs at the office and missed my turn twice as i had to rush outside to pick a doc in the car.I even signed some docs at the office.

All glory be to God...and all thanks to NL'S gurus.
God bless.

Congratulations!

Happy New year people.

@justwise; I need your advice. I had 3 refusals last year. One in January when i applied with my family. The ECO raised issues bordering on fluctuations in acckut balance and inconsistent deposit. Yes he acknowledged I was well paid but only had issues with those. I allowed the acct for a while and reapplied towards my bday in July and still got a refusal based on the same statement of acct on the probability that the acct opening balance was carried over from the last refusal since it started 2 weeks after the one of the lowest balance which the eco had issues with. I immediately reapplied using priority to clarify these and to meet my intended travel date but was still refused despite acknowledging all the additional docs i presented.

Ever since, I have dissipated most of the funds for personal uses and even travelled 2ce to dubai, once with my family and about a month and half after, alone.

I intend to reapply by april, 9 months after last refusal, with an opening balance of 400k and rebuild same bacj to 2-3m, strictly from my salaries and allowances.

1. I need guidance to know if using my acct statement with 400k opening and 2-3m will address the inconsistent deposit raised by eco, without any other monies from elsewhere like before.
2. I travelled 3ce last year, SA and dubai 2ce. Hope this is not a problem as i only travelled once to SA in the previous year.

I'm seeking this advice to ensure i dont have loose ends again.

Thanks.
