Because agents run a business and make their livelihood from that.

Not fair to run down some people's daily income, how would you feel if your line of work is scrapped, or someone says "i dont understand why people need your profession"

Let people make their own decision instead of spoiling some people's handwork

It's not my responsibility to keep agents in business, as a consumer I shop around for the best deal and in this case buying directly from the airlines presents a better deal.

It's easier, cheaper and less stressful buying from the airlines directly than dealing with agents.

Ticketing agents and photographers will see a huge decline in business as time goes on because internet and smartphones, its down to them to move on to other businesses.

This new trend is going to break many marriages and relationships.

@justwise or any of the mama's in the house, kindly screenshot or attach a sample budget sheet here.

I don't have any. You can come up with yours, basically it's an outline of your budget for the trip

Babatwi:
Pls is it advisable to buy ticket from wakanow or from Qaitar air directly,both are quoting about the same price?

Buy directly from the airline because it saves you all sorts of problems, I still don't understand why people buy ticket through agents.

goldenlolo:
Please Mr Justwise, I sent a message to you this morning, Please sir, check your inbox.
Thank you.

I replied asking you to post the question here

KINGLARY:
I think you should wait to know whether they will send you another email regarding the out come of their processing in the Denmark embassy.

KINGLARY:
Dear Ifeanyi, Visa application, ref no.20171130CAAGSTU02591 has been dispatched to the Embassy of Denmark on 29/01/2018 for processing.

The above message is the email I received from the embassy. I celebrated the message because when I contacted my friend in canada, he told me that the mail is an indication that my application is successful. On the same date I received another email telling me that my processed passport has been dispatched to the Canadian embassy Abuja. When I got the passport, to my utter surprise, I saw a letter attached saying that I did not meet the requirements and my visa denied consequently.

Pls I will like some professionals here in this forum to help explain to me what might have happened as I suspect some mix-up. I am confused.

What's going on here?

This Scholarship doesn't exist, people should be careful.

Hello fam,

How long does it take for Azimo to reflect the transfer in the Nigerian account?

..within an hour, sometimes under 30mins

Keneking:
Justwise...i did not know you have a US citizen in your family.
Congratulations

In-laws yes but not immediate family members but I'm not sure where you got that from though

ekpotek:
Dude to be honest with you, your chances of getting a visit visa is very slim. A visit visa is for those with a great potential of returning after their visit. As it stands you’re not qualified, as you are about to loss you job, no strong home, financial and social ties to Nigeria. However, if you are serious with your white lady, why don’t you aim for marriage and then apply for spouse visa to join her. For now all you can do is to encourage her to visit you more often in Nigeria to create a solid and verifiable relationship. Good luck.

Aquaman84:
Please who has a better answer for me please

He gave you a good suggestion there.

nafyzah:
Yes .So what do you advice now cos I want to go and give birth.I already .please check your message

Reapply and tell the truth even before the VO asked you. Get your documents prepared before reapplying..

nafyzah:
For tourist and visiting

You lied to the VO already, clearly the purpose of your trip was to give birth.

nafyzah:
Good day ,

Please i need an assistant from the house.DH,myself and child applied for B1/B2 visa but we denied 214b.
The VO asked the purpose of our travelling and DH answered her so immediately after she asked if the baby with us is our only son and we said Yes she paused and started typing then we were denied.Meanwhile i am pregnant and my pregnancy wasnt even noticed though we were prepared already that if we were asked i will tell them the truth but will back date the weeks because the dress i wore wasnt reavealing how big the bumps is.
My question now is this we want to reapply on B1/B2 again but DH is not ready to apply with us just myself and child and also contact a doctor over there and declare i am going for child birth.Please i need advice of the house.
Thank you

What did you tell the VO when you were asked the purpose of your travel?

Olajideadm:
Ask/make your China student admission/visa contributions here, i have seen increasing number of different threads about China student visa recently and as student and experienced person lived in china for four years,hence the need to dedicate this thread for china student admission/visa issues.

Please don’t duplicate threads. Stick to existing ones.

buzuazi:
Good evening all.Pls,a quick resolution.I have my personal business which is not registered but have a good bank statement.My brother is a citizen and he's inviting my family stating that he will be responsible for our feeding and accommodation.(wife and daughter)my wife works too with fed govt .Won't tax clearance and cac certificate hinder the process as i do not have? Abeg help a brother

You don't need any of those for visiting visa application, You can still get a visa without adding any of that if you put in a good application

MamaDe:
Good day all.
Plz can someone tell me how soon I will get my visa application" decision made" after a mail from Sheffield that my application wasn't straight forward and so decision cannot be made within the 15working days. It's a week today I got that mail n I haven't heard anything from them still. I applied in November n was refused, Was refused cos the eco wasn't convinced I have enough money for the trip though I have a sponsor. And wasn't convinced my business is active.so I reapplied again first week in January adding more supporting documents. But got the not straightforward mail. Plz how much longer will it take them to make a decision. The wait is draining. Thx a bunch as I look forward to read a reply soonest

Nobody here can honestly answer that, you have to wait to hear from them.

Jjporch:
Good day all,
I got redundant letter from my employer and we had a meeting after that ,
Our employer assured to call us back after reconstruction of the company which we understood .
My boyfriend worked in Nigeria briefly before he went to Europe...
But because I couldn't secure a schenghen visa we decided to meet in London..and was on 5yrs visa which has expired now.
And I stayed up till 5months then,
luckily for me my employer called me back exactly 6months after.
Within the 5months of my stay my boyfriend visited me thrice and I was given enough cash for my expenses
But every other months he sent western union to me...
I do not have any family ties over there except in Nigeria ..
I rented an apartment belonging to a family which was cheaper for me though they were not around at the moment I occupied the apartment ..just a room
..I got back to my job in oct 1st ,
and when you are away from job for up till six months you'll have to take a refresher class and its mandatory...

I tried to apply for 10yrs in December but was refused
And reason was that..

1. I declared that I recently travelled to the uk for 5months and that I have not provided an explanation regarding my extensive stay in uk and this cast credibility on the intention of my visit.
2, I stated that I have been employed by my company since 2008..and that they did not find it credible that I have remained employed throughout my 5months stay in uk

3,Furthermore given that I wish to return to uk only after a short duration they're not satisfied that I will not live in uk for extended periods through frequent or successive visits or make uk my main home
On balance of probabilities,they Re not satisfied that I genuinely seeking entry as a visitor to leave the uk after limited period
Visa refused V4.2(a)(c)
V4.2(b)
Any future uk visa applications I make will be considered on their individual merits,however I am likely to be refused unless the circumstances of my application change,
There's no right of appeal or right to administrative review,

I didn't think it was necessary I explained how I stayed that long and to include my redundant letter which I still have a copy with me,
Please advise.

Jjporch:
I have pictures of the training I did before work,
Evidence of the transfers he made at his end because I didn't keep the western union transfer receipts because I didn't think I would need them
Also photo copy of his passport photo page..
Please advise what else I need to include in my letter of introduction

You really underestimated the most important thing in your application, you will find it difficult to get another visa to the UK if you failed to explain..

What you were doing in the UK during that 5months and how you were able to sustain yourself.

Gather as much evince as you can to support your explanation.

You should have also disclosed that you were out of work for sometime because it makes no sense that you spent 5months in the UK and still maintain a paying job in Nigeria

@sashaa

Even if you visit heaven first before applying to the UK your visa will still be refused if you do not meet the requirements.

Travel history is an advantage yes but its not the core issue

Canadian student visa thread.

AmbivertMe:
Hi Gurus in the house,please if one states how much one spends on living expenses each month,should this correlate with withdrawals from bank account (to be submitted for the visa) each month?
Cc @justwise @ekpotek and other Gurus

No it doesn't have to.

Post this in UK visiting visa thread

[quote author=sashaa post=64637459][/quote]If you still have enough money after loan repayment then you got nothing to worry about.

The most important thing here is to proof that you can afford the trip despite the loan repayment.

@Newbee07


Sorry we don't recommend/review or promote any agency here that was why your post was hidden.

samtol4:
I do not expect you to put your trust on my experience on this matter . However , I can count more than 10 applicants on this forum who used close friends as sponsor and visas were issued . Any one with genuine source of income can act as sponsor as far SA Embassy is concern . So far the documents are not fraudulent .

Quote those posts let see them

samtol4:
As far SA embassy is concern anyone can give you bank statement but he or she will write a letter to support your application .More importantly Id card or passport data page attached . Anyone in this context means friends or family members or business partner can give u letter and bank statement . I speak from experience .

I wouldn’t put my trust on your experience regarding this issue.

I can understand the case of a family member being a sponsor but to say that anybody can supply bank statement for visa application is misleading.

hamddy:
A number of times questions asked are not being responded to on-time I guess that's the reason for the quietness in my opinion.

People have a job you know?

fetomowo:
I have enough money in my account. I don't just have the cashflow. How about my friend claiming relationship (as a cousin) with me in the letter. Would any proof to substantiate the claim be required?

Thanks @justwise I see your work on Canny thread. Respect bros!

Cash flow means jack, if you have the money and can defend the source then use it. Your friend claiming cousin is illegal and I wouldn’t support such.

fetomowo:
Hello everyone! Please, what minimum amount am I to hold in an account for a Ph.D. student going to SA.

Secondly, I am using another person's account for my SOA. I hope this is acceptable. He is a friend. Must I be related by blood to him to use his account?

Thirdly, Is there a fast track visa application in Lagos? Anyone with answers, please?

Your chances of getting a visa is very remote even with a letter from your friend because..

You will find it difficult to convince the embassy that your friend is willing to allow you to use his money for your Ph.D program. You don't present bank statement for the seek of it, you present a bank statement stating that the money in that account will be available for your use in SA.

So the question here is..is your friend sponsoring your Ph.D program? If yes then why will he spend thousands on your education?

samtol4:
You dont need to be related . Any one can give you bank statement as sponsor .But he must write a letter to that effective and attached document

That is not true, you can't just take bank statement from anybody for visa application.
