My brother leave them, I don't need to argue with them, I have had first hand experience for years and I know what I'm saying but it seems they might not want any additional information as they know everything the high commission wants. Even when I said tax document makes one look like a good citizen and helps an applicant, they are still arguing, smh

Solatium:
It does not need to make sense to you,but it does make sense to those who are in it, ask around to know how many people always have their tax and pensions deducted from source monthly nut there are no evidence of remittance,they usually don't know these sharp practices until when they need a tax clearance or out of their job and wanting to access their pension.


@justwise,you need ti admit you don't know it all,there are one million and one things you don't know and you need ti admit and let go when people come up with superior argument backed by facts and figures..Shalom

dcutey:
Please do you mean we don't need to submit any evidence of tax payment before we can get a UK visa? Are you aware that a company could be deducting tax from one's gross and reflect it on the pay slip without remitting same to the government?

ekpotek:
Thanks @Justwise the OP should be bettter informed now with your clarifications on tax clearance certificate.

ogba4james:
@justwise, Ekpotek and others, God bless your good work..

please I need your response on this.. I submitted my visa application on the 23rd of May and got an email on 12 of June (14working days) stating that :

"Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward and we will be unable to decide your application within our customer service targets. We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make a decision as soon as possible."

Please my question is that, how many more days will I still need to wait more?

Does it mean I will wait for another 15 working days or 3weeks or month?

Please who as received such email before and how many days did the decision finally came out?

Hope they won't delay and hold my passport up till July ooh ?

I am kind of bothered Becos I have an appointment with the USA embassy on the 11th of July for my masters program and I will be needing my passport to get my Visa.

Thanks and God bless

@justwise @expotek. You are all right and this dude is also spot on, Tax deduction on payslip does not mean your company remit same,anyone can come up with figurea on any paper,but when you remit,whatever you remit for the remitted month will reflect on your TCC card issue by LASG. and that card can not be forged to the best of my knowledge,I have friends who are well granded in tax matter. ....this guy is right

travelland:
What is not true, I'm saying I worked with VFS at Ajose Adeogun and Oregun Billings way, since 2007 March when the process commenced and some people even with payslips were refused for not submitting authentic tax clearance

Do you know that I can get my company to print a made up payslips which isn't actually what I earn, but with a tax clearance the high commission has a way of verifying it? , you can continue giving your advice. I never quoted anyone and said what he or she said was wrong, continue Sir, I'm loyal. I never meant to interfere, is just that when I see people come back with refusal I am touched but ride on, you guys rule here.

travelland:
Let's not argue about this, VFS is not the embassy but we were taught and know what the embassy requires because we were the ones who collect the documents from applicants, we worked with the checklist and when they are refused they come back to us to resubmit so you can't tell me we will not be in a good place to know what the embassy wants.


While working some of us employees had tax clearance cards, if one includes it, this helps in making his status as an employee more authentic in case they may be having doubts as payslips can be manipulated but they have a way of verifying the authenticity of a tax card

You've made your point and I've made mine, the OP can chose to pick which one he wants.

dcutey:
Travelland is absolutely right, payment of tax shows that one is law abiding and will improve chances of getting a visa.

TWoods:
I think she should ask God for favor. I hear his new name in Nigeria is olowogbogboro...

justwise:
That is the problem right there, because those 'contacts' are milking it they make it look as if one can not do it online successfully without them.

You can apply online of you don't want to keep feeding those 'contacts'

Hi everyone, you don't need to pay anyone money to get visa on arrival. Kindly go to the immigration website, apply and pay online. When you arrive Nigeria, show your receipt and the visa will be given to your LO. Or you can apply and pay in cash or with your card when you arrive. There is just a slight $10 difference when paying in cash.

zmoney:
Please can someone kindly explain how to go about this visa on arrival for LO?
I'm sorry but I'm still a bit confused. Would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Good morning everyone, I am a new member of this forum and I would like to ask few questions as I am 8 months gone. I am currently in Europe with a valid temporary resident permit and I just started considering giving birth in the state.
1. What are my chances of getting a visa as I am 8 months gone.
2. Should I tell the VO I am going for child birth or just family visit because I have an invitation from my sis in law.
3. Like how many weeks do i need in total (booking an interview appointment, getting the visa and leaving for the state).
Less I forget, I am a new mum and a first time mum. Your advice and contributions will be highly appreciated. Hope to read from you all soonest. Thank you.

Koval12:
Am a graduate with BSc certificate who intend leaving Nigeria to further my education and as well secure a work permit (Canada or Australia my preferred choice). I recently got in touch with this traveling agent, who promised to assist me in my applications and as well securing a student Visa in either Canada or Australia. The problem here is that the agent is demanding a total sum of 2.5m to assist me with my Visa application. Am totally confused at the moment with regards to the authenticity of these agents. Is it advisable for me to make the financial commitment? He's already requesting for my information like TRANSCRIPT to kick start my visa application and necessary documentation. Please help a friend! Nairaland has always been there for me. I need your sincere advice here as am stuck. Thanks...

phawwaz:
that was the university my agent who is a professor in US told me jus so u know im 16

hallelluyah:
Please the gurus in the house particularly those on Germany already, kindly advise me:
1. Does it worth it moving whole family to join you and live permanently in Germany, as my main motive was not the study perse but to use the route to permanently migrate along with my whole family?
2. I am likely to receive positive feedback from the schools I applied to anytime soon. My question is for those like me with no 8000 euro and no relative or friend to do sponsorship, are there ways around this. Because I usually believe EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
3. Is it wise to leave a job that offers 250k per month and leave for Deutschland in search of greener pasture via schooling route?
4. Assuming I eventually succeed in leaving for Germany, how easy and soon can I process visa for my wife and kids to join me there as it would be suicidal to live without them.

Thanks.

@All

This is visa thread please don't derail it.

Thanks

fasttrack:
Just wise, we apparently didn't notify the Embassy of any change in plans, she just carried enough cash and told them at POE that she was going for both child birth and vacation.

Colouredgirl:
I dont think its about twoods..in this case the person didnt lie..fyi the vos and cbps knw who is honest and who is dishonest..we just giving ourselves headache

Colouredgirl:
I wonder why it is called "letter of intent" then..the vo saying the letter doesnt mean a thing is a good way of disuading dishonest people..but fr those who honestly need the letter can go ahead and send it

adeptonlin:
Justwise, please gimme a format to write the plan for a visiting trip.

adeptonlin:
Monthly salary is 120k
Confirmation letter is a letter to show ur approved position of which you are employed for

bigtalla:
You are very correct.

2014, my wife and I went for a visa interview and was asked if she was pregnant, we said no, but she was actually pregnant. We were not properly informed and thought the easiest way was to lie about it. We wrote the normal ''letter of change of intent'' and got a reply that it was OK for us to travel. When u got to the POE, the CBP officer didn't say anything about the letter and we were stamped in for 6 months... Fast forward to 2016, we did a dropbox for visa renewal but was invited for an interview. The first question we were asked was, '' did you (my wife) give birth in the US?'' We said yes, and went further to expalain we paid all our bills and have zero balance,...bal bla bla.. he just said we were not eligible for a visa because we lied about our intent of travelling. We told him that we wrote to the embassy before travelling, he said '' those letters mean nothing to us''....

So please, do yourself some good and don't lie about your travel intentions.. It will somehow, someday bite you when you least expect.

So the change if intent letter is still needful in some cases right?
Not for someone to come here to completely rule it out

rattlesnake:
yes but I can tell you many are victims of circumstances

TripleKMama:
A million likes biko!!
Imagine!

Me sef follow write. And I didn't meet any issue afterwards cos I got my visa long before preggers.
I also wrote dem before my sis came and it was all smooth sailing.
If need be,make we write d letter o! Leave it to d VOs and CBP officers to use or not. EOD

FrontPageLawyer:
@Twoods.

Please stop misleading people. I just came back from the US leaving my wife behind to have our baby.

My firsthand expereince;

Before the trip, I sent a letter of intent to the US Consulate and got the usual response.

At JFK POE; once the CBP officer took my wife's finger print. He told my wife that it was a good thing she already sent a letter of intent to the US consulate notifying them about her intention to give birth in the US. He was very pleased and stamped us in without further questions.

We were both surprised the information was actually recorded in the system.

We are all adults. Please leave people alone to do what suits them and what they can defend. You live in the US and don't know what travellers encounter just to cross the US border.

Do you really have problem with people coming to the US?

rattlesnake:
A friend of a friend was denied entry at the US point of entry today because he was once banned from entering the UK due to visa overstay
I asked him how US knew he was Banned from UK he said he was shocked too.....further inquiry shows the US have a new protocol that they collect all your biometrics and US,Canada,Australia,New zealand and UK will share your biodata and deal with u
I think this is unfair sha

Just wanna inform you
