BarristerAlarig: Justwise sir, thanks for delecting my comment. You deserve an award!!!
@OP, Getting married to an EU citizen you absolutely love doesn't come off as desperate!!! Getting an EU passport is secondary not the primary reason to marry a person.
@justwise, kindly go to the USA visit visa thread to post your response. If nairaland wasn't a faceless online forum, boiz go beat hell outta you when you advice against getting married to an American therefore preventing them from being able to adjust status.
For the record, Lemme just state clearly that getting married to an EU/American/Australia citizen isn't illegal neither does your action come off as desperate UNLESS you do not love the person and your sole purpose for pursuing the marriage was for immigration benefits.
I never mentioned anywhere that getting married to EU/American citizen is illegal but in numerous occasions here many of you are so quick to suggest marriage as the quickest route to citizenship, that is sham marriage and its illegal.
Those frayed American/EU pensioners marrying young Nigerian men are all for love?
Ezedan1: Barrister abeg u just spoke my mind because some kids who just learnt how to browse or kids who just started surfing the web has got no respect for their elders. Thanks so much and I am very much happy with ur message. Pls drop in more advice if u have and forget about those making u feel bad. Thanks and God bless you sir
SPOILT9JAOLOSHO: Hello Everyone Much Salute from this great country, I hope you guys are having a great time. @Oga Justwise why u no wan travel sef? just asking.
I have called out Frankrobben1 on many occasions here before regarding the issue of coaching people how to lie on visa application but surprisingly two days ago he typed out half a paragraph of made up lies for someone for visa application.
How low can you sink when you have to tell somebody to claim that his brother/sister/mon/dad was murdered so as to change the mind of VO? And that the experiences of loss and grief contributed to temporary academic failure as a result of depression and anxiety?
This thread will do much better without this sort of advice, yes Frankrobben1 has been helpful here but i have given him numerous chances to avoid a ban and he blew it.

11 people comprising 3Male adult ,6 Female adult and ,2 Female children..
There were no deaths but 9 of the passengers comprising 3 Male adult and 6 Female adult sustained various degrees of injuries.
The suspected cause of the crash was tyre burst by the speeding bus which lost control. The injured victims were taken to Ifeoluwa hospital Ogunmakin for medical treatment and the road obstruction cleared.
Thereafter the victims properties inside the ill-fated bus were conveyed to FRSC Command at KM 27 at OgunMakin where on routine documentation the sum of Two Million Ninety-six thousand seven hundred and seventy naira only N2,096,770.00 was recovered.
Upon diligent investigation a female passenger of the crashed bus by name Mrs Asabi Adenike, of Ibadan, who sustained injuries and undergoing medical attention was identified as the owner of the bag containing the recovered money .
Upon contacting her relatives, she authorized that the FRSC hands over the recovered money to her mother Mrs .Bisola Adedeji.
swanky6968: Also my interview is in 2wks I want to know if there is any specific amount that would look suspicious let say DH has about 15million in his savings account (no lump sum) it has been accumulated since January coming in and out. Plus is there any problem with the account since it was opened in January. Or should I use his companies account
I think that is questionable, 15M in 3months will surely raise some eyebrows. If you are going to use his company's account make sure that the total cost of the trip will not affect the running of the company.
braddddddd: please i am not a visa agent and i have not filled US visa form before pls. dont get it twisted
braddddddd: For your south korea visas at a very affordable price, you can contact me through my email, DELETED ........ we provide visa services, you don't have to pay until your visa is ready. NOTE: you will get your VISA after 20 working days, mind you, you will submit at VFS global by yourself and you will still be the one to pick up your visa from them it is sure........
Ezedan1: You right by ur comments about snipping around with women. Well am not desperate or being like desperado as some naija boiz or men do. I have business here I do and am still working here in Lagos Nigeria ,I work for myself. Even if I travel I won't close down my business, am only trying to find help for easier way to study in abroad and hustle. As per your question, only if u have good cgpa in universities or good waec that can fetch u scholarships bcoz Buhari has withdrawn Nigeria out of so many organizations and fellowship that we can benefit from in abroad. If you apply for scholarship then who will fund it for u? Scholarships are being funded by ur county govt, or a company . Last year many Nigerians in UK were deported back to naija and they were on scholarship program, this is because our govt didnt pay for it This time. So before u apply for scholarship program, u need to have good waec grades or ur university degree on high cgpa first before applying.
That is not true because not being able to pay school fees is not an immigration offense. They did not tell the whole truth about their deportation.
You need to do your research very well because not all scholarships are offered by organization or fellowships even at that Nigerian govt doesn't need to necessarily be a member of that organization. Many scholarships are offered by universities and their govt.
You also need to be realistically honest with yourself regarding studying abroad, to study abroad even in the cheapest country will cost you millions, if you have such money then investing it in your existing business in Nigeria will be more beneficial to you.
braddddddd: it's quite unfortunate that some people got it wrongly, i hate lies, i just tabled my case and some people got it wrongly, i was very busy in the office the day that form was filled so i gave it to my secretary to fill it for me and ask me any question she does not understand but i was surprise when i went through the form the next day when she gave it to me and discovered the mistake. i traveled to Israel 2016 and Gambia 2017. i need the best solution to this.
Are not a visa agent yourself so why will nobody believe you? Getting free advice for your clients after getting them in problem with false information.
quinine24: I had an invitation stated from 04th of may this year,i made an appointment on8th of april,only left with about 24days before the expiration of my invitation, can these hold any effects on my application proceses?
dubby33: please advice me on how to go about another application if i want to reapply again and how long can i wait before applying again. i intend waiting for another 6months with only my salary in my account before applying again.
1. Let's cut to chase here..are you genuinely employed as a senior manager earning 300K a month or that was made up by your company for visa purposes?
2. List those documents you submitted for your application
BarristerAlarig: I totally get it sir. Try any relatively new public university in Spain (I had a list before but I've lost it). Spainish Universities easily give out admission especially for M.sc programmes. Moreover, If you do decide to school in Spain, getting an EU passport is easier and more doable. Get married to a Spanish woman, get a resident permit, wait just one year after marriage and apply for naturalisation and get your Spanish passport (EU passport). Regarding your admission, try Ujaen. I had a very pleasant experience with them.
How about giving him a sensible advise rather than this poor line some people here are so quick to come out with?
He will invest millions into foreign education only to get to Spain to start snipping around desperately for a Spanish woman to marry for paper?
Do you know any Spanish scholarship available to Africans? Any affordable school that will not cost arm and leg?
quinine24: I had an invitation stated from 04th of may this year,i made an appointment on8th of april, only left with about 24days before the expiration of my invitation,can these hold any effects on my application proceses?
We are still in March or are you saying that you will be making an application by April 8?
dubby33: my trip was for the company i work for although it was stated that i will fund the trip because my boss wanted me to prove am financially capable of taking care of myself,[b][/b] and am been paid via bank transfer.
That was such a bad idea. how can an employee pay for company's business trip? I guess to prove your financial capability you started moving money into your salary account?
oluwa234: I will advise that it is safer to get a transit visa. A colleague of mine was recently prevented from boarding his flight on BA to italy via Heathrow because he did not have a transit visa. He had to resort to buying another ticket on the spot and travelled on a Lufthansa flight.
You don't need a transit visa to pass through one country to another as long as your layover is less than 24hrs, you are not going into that country and you have valid visa and ticket to your final destination.
I don't know what your colleague did or his situation that made them prevent him from boarding the flight to Italy.
Exmay: Hello House, I intend to apply for a spouse visa for my wife immediately after our wedding later this year. My question is do I have to use a Federal Registry (e.g Ikoyi), or just any legally recognised registry will do? Also, can I get a list of documents I need to present to facilitate her visa?
Cc: Justwise
Use Federal Registry as local registries certificates are not recognized anymore by some embassies(not sure if the British embassy has implemented the policy)
Visit the spouse visa thread here for list of documents, there are quite a lot to read from there
Oritna94: Thanks for your answer. I can save about 500k. But is it ok for the salary account to be zero while I push my savings to my savings account? Also my sponsor wants to use Western Union to send money to me monthly in lieu of bank transfer which I will keep in my savings account. The charges for transfer is on the high side $75 per transfer. So can she go ahead with Western Union?
I think you will have problems with your financial arrangement, you are earning 300K plus a month less the loan repayment you should be able to save more than 500K a year. Your sponsor sending money to your savings account to be used for visa application is not a good idea. Use the money from your sponsor to repay the loan and keep your salary for visa application.
Your sponsor can use azimo or worldremit to send you money they charge less than £2 per transaction with good rate.
Oritna94: Good morning justwise and co. I have been following the thread with keen interest. I plan to travel to the UK early next year in March to sit for the plab2 exam. I want to plan it carefully so as not to have problems. My main issue has to do with my salary account and sponsor. I earn 340k monthly. I'm repaying a Microfinance loan of 1 million of which 106k is deducted from my salary every month. It will end in November this year. By the time I make expenses for family and remove savings to my savings account the account is next to zero. Secondly my sponsor who is my mum is residing in the U.S. She has agreed to send money to me monthly before I travel. My question is this. 1. Is it ok for my salary account to be next to zero? 2. My sponsor wants to send money via bank transfer which costs $75 each time she does so which is expensive for her. Can she use Western Union or MoneyGram? 3. Is it even alright to transfer money to me monthly without causing problems for the Visa application? I plan to budget 2million for the trip which includes my air ticket, accommodation exam fee and feeding for 34days.
How much will you be able to save from now to March?
Avoid any unexplained payment into your salary account by all means
