Hy guys!
@justwise
@ salotium
@ inphoenix & others
you people are doing a really nice job here' and thanks to all of you

A friend directed me here tho, so Im very new. And I wantu ask a very interesting question sha, it's being aching me since I and my batch mates did our visas! Imagine' since 2nd of May and got application received mail the nxt day, till now nothing nothing except for the rumours, we are much tho about 55 students and fully sponsored by the Nigeria Fed. Govt.

Our sponsors are fully aware, they tried reaching Sheffield, mails came that visas will b ready soon, matter reported to the Nigeria High Commission in London recently and now we heard high commission called our sponsors back requesting for fees payment details that Sheffield asked for it.

But the part am really scared of' is the fact that our last school resumption date has passed and extension date has passed too, tho we are many as I said earlier about 55 students' we always hav our own class' every time we travel to any country and we can resume school anytime we get our visas and travel which I dnt knw if Sheffield knows that.

So at this point guys, can we still get our visas?
I really do need ur swift answers. Thnkx

Hi Justwise... Pls correct me if i'm wrong...

I assume this thread should have been broken into part 2 after we hit 400 pages as in other cases.

I think this would help with research, especially for new folks.

sobastical:
I think the OP is a victim already was just trying to cover up with another thread. ..smh

Solatium:
I keep saying YOU ARE IGNORANT OF SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY THINGS, for your education a GP only man a local clinic/Health center which opens from 9am and closes by 5pm, all other emergencies and reference are then routed to the Big Hospital or Teaching Hospitals..
Your local GP is determined by your post code,if you go to the wrong one to register, once you state your post code you will be directed to the one meant for your zone,these clinic is like the health centers we have in virtually all local government areas in Nigeria,....Guy,assumptions will make mess of the little you know,just keep it to what you know and listen to learn when other talks in situations you are not familiar with.

jaybaby2017:
Please house, what time of visa can I apply . I want to attend a church conference. Thanks

Solatium:
There you go again,Does your GP open 24hrs? What happens when the local clinic closes for operations? you stay at home and wait till it opens the next day? who told you you can't walk to A&E and be treated? the guy in question was even an Illegal immigrant who was not expected to have a GP,besides the fractured hand was discovered at A&E after scan revealed...You have a right to be treated whenever you turn up at A&E even with a gunshot or Knife wound tgey will admit you,treat you and get intouch with the police who will turn up at your bedside to extract your statement after which they will determine what to do with you........Sometimes I just marvel at this your know all attitude,as a human who do not poses all knowledge, listening to people's explanation with proof will IMPROVE YOUR KNOWLEDGE ON TOPICS we all strive to be better.

Hi guys, please I will go straight to the point. A friend of mine, an airforce official, has an uncle abroad who runs a creche. He needed 2 people to come and work for him there as 2 of his staffs had left. One got married and the other travelled to US after working 2 years. My friend asked if I was interested and I said yes and we got rolling. I have been reading so many stuffs here and it has left me confused. I paid 61k for visa application and 18k for health insurance or travel insurance. I was asked to provide that and I don't have it so I paid 18k for it to be done. My friend travelled with our passports to Abuja to give to someone who his uncle told him to give and the person submitted it to UK embassy. The uncle sent the letter of invitation and other documents to the person who in turn is to submit to the embassy. The uncle abroad is the one sponsoring us as we are coming to work for him. He's also sponsoring our flight fee. We have agreed on payment and accommodation. My question is this: I have been seeing stuffs like biometrics and emails and the rest. Though I submitted my email address and passport photograph as well. But I'm yet to receive any mail and I'm yet to do any biometrics. Is it not necessary? I was told the Visa would take 32working days cos it's a 2yrs visa.

Solatium:
The rule is not STATIC,who told you you can't walk into an A&E to be treated? what an ignorant assumption...Guy admit you don't know it all,as at the last check,you weren't an immigration officer,neither a police officer or a Solicitor,beating out your chest in such an arrogant manner does not make you an authority in this topic.there were people with worse case than his and still got their stay regularize......Deportees even have a second chance of been issued a visa when removed from UK,they are usually ban for 5/10yrs depending on their case before they can make any application under the law.the only set of people I know without such a chance are FAILED ASYLUM SEEKERS......Each time I come here to state a case I am stating it to give people involved a ray of hope based on past cases decided,not to support any form of law breaking

Sholeola23:
Was left with my step mum. dad and mum past away already. Left her to live with my aunties (no family connection just an helper) she also tried but at this time am over 18 already

Solatium:
One of the reason I always disagree with you,TALK WITHIN WHAT YOU KNOW,I don't come online to tell a story I know nothing about,not in all situation that the police will call you an ambulance,on this occasion the guy ran away from them they pursued him and he fell down and had a fractured hand,they collected his work ID and asked him to go treat himself at the hospital....It was later discovered they took that route for them to stay out of trouble and avoid paying compensation to the guy,but he was not aware of such until he was told by his solicitor,but the guy was only afraid of been sent back to Nigeria empty handed.....

Sholeola23:
Please could you explain wat is bad about my immigration history. Was underage wen i went to the UK. I couldn't have had any power over any decision the. Am only trying to do the right thing by my family.

I detailed it and apologies in the application and I pray it's does not go tribunal. I really do pray. I just want it granted

inphoenix:
@justwise I'm just looking at @sholeola23 situation - does it count that his immigration offense was committed largely while he was a minor and depended on other people to make decisions for him? Dude spent his entire life in the U.K. o! He probably just needs to appeal and explain why he should not be held responsible for an offense he probably didn't even know he was committing, being a minor. Although he has had a few years to regularize after becoming an adult, but, I must say it's a really dicey situation. Not entirely a worst case scenario, is it?

inphoenix:
Only you, 3 of your friends are immigration offenders? Plus including you? Lol. Seriously though, just wondering the moral of your little story...Won't be surprised if immigration reforms begin to change the rules with scenarios like this. Please let's keep it positive out here. I'm also aware a spousal settlement visa will override previous visa application refusals, but I didn't think it is AUTOMATIC. Several people have been denied for several reasons, it would be foolhardy to think it is automatic upon marriage. Anyways, what do I know? I'm just a short stay visa hopeful.

Solatium:
Says who? comment base on what you know,I have 3 friends who had same problem and they are all legal resident in UK today with the latest having his status regularized about 6yrs ago.....One of them was even arrested at his wirk place,he was injured when been arrested,the police told him to ho and get himself treated, he ran away and never showed up,he meet his wife who is a citizen,got married and filled while he was in UK,he was asked to exit the country before anything could be done,he left and was cleared by the home secretary in (5 months and some few day's......Tellme if there is any other visa that supersedes settlement visa aside from diplomatic visa?

Sholeola23:
Thanks for the reply. Really appreciate. Indeed I did with alot of money wasted.

My Wife is earning 27k and she is living on her own and pregnant now. Left in june

HokageTravels:
Several countries, my friend. UAE, and lots more for example.

You can enter through tourist visa, look for job. When you get the job, your employer will require you to go back and then bring you back on a work visa.

These are things that are being done everyday!

Thank you.

HokageTravels:
My advice? Take that money and look for better countries to migrate to.. Adding that 200k won't do much if you don't have one you are staying with.

If you have contacts elsewhere, ask them to invite you, look for work and the employer will keep you or try to further your education, you can get work after you are done, if you are desperate,then use delay tactics till you can stay legally.

Thank you!

Eke40seven:
CC: justwise, I think this thread is getting a bit too "bulky" and would be difficult to read. Don't you think it's time to wave that your magic wand?

HokageTravels:
How, might be my punctuations. Let me restate! The employer will employ him and change his visa to work visa or he should try and further his education by so doing, he can look for work when he is finishing and remain there.

adeptonlin:
1. It's there in the form where it's been asked to state how many years have you live in the above address. So I put 31years with my family. Won't they think I can't afford to rent house since am working?

Sholeola23:
I applied indefinite leave to remain. Refused and was ask to go back to my dad but he past away few months before home office decision. No appeal. I then put in for reconsideration which was refused again 4 years later.

Then put in with my girl friend refused again because we are not legally married with right of appeal. Which I did but later withdrawn because I was allowed to marry

Applied again as a spouse in the UK but was refused because of overstaying.

Now 25 years old. 6 months short of half of my life in the UK.

aussamuel:
Hi, I applied with an agent for work permit after waiting he provide vevo as cable visa, he ask me to paid for flight ticket because the agent in Australia will do the booking after 5 months he said the agent license was seized. He advice me to apply for visiting visa to fly with.I know you can't work with visiting visa. Is the visa real,what do I do now.

Bankroll232:
Please I have 600k and I am thinking if traveling to South Africa with a 3month working visa please I want to know if that will be enough for the processing and I don't want to go there and get stranded... is 600k good to go

Bankroll232:
I really appreciate the everyone advice and contribution but I will be going to see am agent today so I will get back in touch to you to know how it goes so you tell me if they are not just trying to scam me, also if 600k won't be enough I can add up 200k so my total expense should be around 800k I think that will do....

adeptonlin:
Hello house, is it appropriate to
1. Fill in the application form that I have stayed with my family for 31years?
2. To include my expired passport details (without any visa in it)?
3. To include any dependant since am not married yet?
4. I intend spending 14days in the UK. But I only stated only 4 tourist places to be seeing. Is this enough? If not, please suggest more places I can add.
5. How much I spend on the average every month

Sholeola23:
Hi
I really need advice on my application. I have returned to Nigeria to reapply in order to rejoin my wife. We are legally married (Southwark council). I was brought to the UK when I was 13 but my application was refused 3 times so am class an overstayer. We meet all the requirements
Met
Married
Financial
Accommodation.

My lawyer have submitted all the documents in Sheffield
My main concern is the overstaying. Am really scared ma. I just want to know if that will be a big problem for me. I also returned voluntarily. Thanks ma

Solatium:
Provided you do not have a criminal records,your overstaying on visit visa or whatever visa will automatically be overrides by your new settlement visa ,but it might take a while for you to get a clearance from the Home secretary,I have a friend who went through the same thing,he was cleared in approximately 6 months.
