foxyvisa:
Thanks @justwise, coming from you, it means a lot. I am not sure you know the gravity of impact you contribute to couple's applications, by reason of this thread/house. I and hubby intended applying middle of the year but after stumbling on this thread, I realised we were far from ready and would have been rejected. Few months later, after extensive reading and research of manuals over the years from the house, we were ready to apply. To God be the glory, we were successful. Thanks for being avaliable and consistent over the years. Thanks for the joy you bring couples, thanks for uniting homes.

Please also add health insurance..nothing is free in America..and nope that ain't part of your taxes..depending on plan that's another 70-100 bi-weekly which brings us to another 140-200 per month. He will do fine boy small abi e no go barb hair? let's say 50 per month..are you getting?...e go buy lotion, unless he wan dey look like person wey baff with elubo..deodorant...etc...miscellenous...

erico2k2:
Well he can answer that but in my case I send all my balance to 9ja to strengthen my biz and projects ongoing . I got no need to save money here .

RedGold2017:
And you passed maths when you wrote WAEC...i'm dying of laughter here, save for taxes , all the other expenses are per month..so.multiply it as needed and see how much is left...kids..smh

Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! The Lord has graduated another student from the school of nairaland.
I was here weeks/months ago, heartbroken about the court verdict in Nigeria on local government issued marriage certificate. I asked the house on their opinions and @justwise advised I push ahead with the application.
A big thank you to the house, everyone who contributed years ago to date. @justwise thank you so much. To all new and waiting students, study the manuals and do your best to submit as much documents as you can.

Type of Application: Settlement wife (Priority)
Online application submitted: 31st October
Biometric: 9th November
Email confirmation of support documents received: NONE
Decision made: 7th December
Collection email: 7th December
Courier delivery: 8 December
Picked up: 8th December

It took exactly 1month from my biometric. We are super excited as newly weds (last year) that have been separate since the wedding and hubby returned to UK.
If you can afford PRIORITY please do. It saves time and sleepless nights.
Time to go warm up hubby from the extreme cold in UK.

GodandVal:
Thanks Oga Justwise, you and everyone in this house did it for me! If not for Nairaland, I would not have seen my error... God bless you

erico2k2:
I think you need to take into account what he sends to 9ja as well.

timesup234:
so u dont pay income tax from ur salary?

Qc1:
The guy is actually right. I've spent almost 25 years here and I can tell you that it's extremely tough to save $400 per month on a $55,000 annual salary, I'm not saying you can't but its very hard especially when when you're paying $1200/month for rent, $100/month for electric bills, $70 on phones, $250/month on car insurance, $250 on gas/month, $50 on cables/month maybe $400 or less/month on food the rest can't even be accounted for like credit cards bills, line of credit or over-draft, olosho etc.

The thing is, you pay up to $17000 in taxes alone from the $55,000 depending which states you reside, then if you owe back-taxes, IRS might garnished up to another 10% of whatever that is left after basic taxes and deductions. By the time you get your pay cheque in your account bi-weekly, you don't even have enough to cover your rent let alone to eat. This is why you have more than 10 time the number of homeless people in USA compare to Nigeria. I don't want to scare you but it is inevitable. Take the current US President for an example, he was once almost homeless too. (google it)

It's not that you cant make big money, it's just that you can't save it (easily).

Nigeria on the other hand, once you have a mindset of doing everything by yourself and ignore the government, that is just the beginning of wisdom. Naija is a shit- hole no doubt but it's also a country where you can bend the rules to your advantage. And for only that reason alone with determinations, the sky is not the limit but the beginning. I'm not here to preach, all you need is N500k.


Before you or anyone call me names, please click on my moniker and read some of my posts dated years back on this topic when I decided to relocate back to Nigeria.

Stay blessed!

justwise:
1.Is any of your parent a British citizen/permanent resident?

2. Do you still have your birth certificate?

Jenniferinokoba:

There is a thread on here for those traveling to UAE

Damilare5882:
but it's the Reality ...You can only say Nigeria has the higher percentage ...

Jenniferinokoba:
I was born in UK 1987 I want to relocate to UK pls how do I go about?I want to know what kind of Visa I should apply for

Sparkle1515:
"Wrongest" forum to get an advice .it's a good thing the media in the USA portrays them good until some of us travelled and saw things first hand..of course no doubts the USA Is a great country but still don't negates the fact they gat plenty loopholes..ignore all the illiterate,desperate,naive,minds on here..a whole lot of people are doing well in Nigeria
But I will advice you to first confirm your status in the USA,try get your citizenship or green card.with your qualifications and expertise you should get a good paying job in Nigeria,don't let anyone talk you into luxury once you get into naija,prioritise yourself.Each time I visit the USA my friends get jealous as how I can come and go as I like..I really cnt settle in the USA..its not for me..to each his own anyways,we all can't live in Nigeria and we all cnt live in the USA..best wishes!

LGDON:
During my applicantion as an example, and i tell them i was refused US visa before in 2011 when i intend doing

Will i still have problem

newblock:
What will you advise @ justwise ?

LGDON:
Good day everyone

There is something am concern about

I applied for student visa in US embassy 2011 and was denied due to falsification of bank statement.. I was naive and ignorant then, my travel agent was responsible for everything.. of cause i was banned


I am presently living in Sweden as a student and i want to visit my brother in Canada from here..

My concern is, since i had issues with US embassy.. will it give me problem in Canadian embassy here in Stockholm when applying for their visiting visa?

@justwise

Damilare5882:
What Nigerian mentality are you talking about ... is it only Nigerians that commit fraud .... I can bet it with you that Most Nigerians never wanna do anything illegal ... Na condition make Cray fish bend !!!! ... You just say the right thing in the wrong way bro ...... Direct your answer to the guy that asked the question!!


Note: I am not in support of fraud!!

LaaJiblik:
Maybe your mum could transfer the money to your dad’s account.
That makes it easier.

Another option is for your mum to assume Legal (I know she already have the biological status) parent status. A visit to the courts, affidavits and sworn (under oath) declarations will be required.

mavinc4u:
@justwise, please why are you hiding my post? which rule did the comment violate because i can't see any?

LagosismyHome:
Justwise i thought you would have closed part 12 by now

I hail oo

Philadelphia:
Are they the fraudulent ones or the dishonest ones? I thought you insinuated that nothing good can come from Nigeria?
Maybe these ones are the seriously fraudulent ones or the seriously dishonest ones.

oluwafunkenny:
@Justwise, the information l posted on Jeanie Huynh took me about 30minutes to retrieve yesternight just to help someone but unfortunately, you disapproved. Well, my take_ this is discouraging.

GodandVal:
God has done it!!! This God is too much. Just picked up my passport and the entry clearance/visa in there *dancing******

After everything he has done it for me and He will do for those waiting as well. Below is my timeline:

Type of application: Settlement(wife) but I put in Settlement marriage(mistake)- Priority
Application Submitted: 28 September 2017
Biometrics: October 4, 2017
Sent for Decision : October 4, 2017
Application received by UK Immigration: October 5, 2017
Supporting Documents sent to Sheffield: October 10, 2017
After coming across this topic on Nairaland, I realized the mistake I made in my application by choosing Settlement-marriage instead of Settlement-Wife and it was already too late for another application.
Wrote them a letter explaining the error and asking them for the IHS link : October 24,2017
Surprisingly got a an email requesting for payment for the IHS : November 22, 2017 (I leaped for joy)
Decision made email : December 1, 2017
Collection Email: December 4, 2017
Picked up : Today, Dec 5, 2017

Thank you to everyone that shared their experiences and everyone in the house. So excited!!!!


Baba God, Thank You.

P.s. I thought paying for Priority would mean faster process but all the same I’m happy.

godman100:
I didn't submit any evidence of communication as we've been communicating only through WhatsApp chat and FaceTime videos - for which I couldn't retrieve historic phone records. I only submitted about 40 photos of us with evidence of timelines linked to the photos where feasible. All the same, it all worked out as my wife got her visa.

timmiey:
Hi guys please I need your help. I paid my tuition on 21st November and I have obtained the tellex (receipt) from the bank.
Having started the process of obtaining my CAS, I sent the document to the school.
I got a mail from my school that they have not receive my tuition deposit and that I should tell my bank to place a trace on my transaction.
I went to the bank and I was given a document (I suppose that's the tracker) and I just sent that to my school.
Has anyone experienced this and how can this issue be solved quickly so I can obtain my CAS and apply for my visa before the Yuletide comes fully.
