I think the guy stated NET INCOME but not net Profit.

What is the difference between net income and net profit?

Sunvick2:
Please Mod, Justwise my account was banned for some reason I don't understand.

Kindly unban my account please "sunvick" thanks.

Your previous account was banned for actively promoting a whatsapp group here and this current will be banned as well.

adoox2:
Net income 2.3m

You mean under 6 months you have made a profit of 2.3M? And you work full time and earn 50K a month?

Gurus in the house, how do I defend a 500k-1m deposit into my account by someone who's owing me, so the vo won't think I'm boosting my account just because of the visa attempt?

Explain it exactly how you did here

Hello Good people, I need urgent answer, I applied for a visit Visa in Nov. 2015 and I was refused based on Financial Strength. My Gross salary was/is 50k but not coming as at when due. (State with their salary wahala) I decided to register a Business name last year Nov nd opened an account so far money has being going in and out of the account. Now my uncle is inviting me to UK he ll flaunt his account, I intend to use the business account to Apply for the Visa in june, my questions are:
1. How much do I need to have as the closing balance?
2. Will they think I registered the business for the sake of Visa?
3. What re the documents I need to tender to them
4. Do I need to show them am still with the state Government?
5. The business is not up to a year but do I still need a Tax clearance certificate?

What is your net income from the business?

Latara:
Good day good people. Kindly help with this:

I am on a Tier 4 visa in the UK and my mum wants to come visit. I want to help her with filling the details online so she just goes to their office for biometrics.

There is a new service on the visas and immigration site where you can apply online, there is also the "visa4UK" site where i'm to create an account and "apply" since it's the first time. I'm confused with these two sites. Am i to apply on both of them?

Secondly, on the "visa4UK" site, i have the option of selecting either "applying for myself" or "applying for someone". Which do i choose in this case? I am using my mum's email and not mine for the application but i'm confused on which one to select here.

Please help guys. Thanks.

You can use just one of those links to apply online.

Since you are applying for your mum use the option of apply for yourself but all details will be that of your mum.

Please post this in US visa thread

Rutharu:
@just wise please who do I need to contact concerning my passport,I called a number that was given to me at the VAC,they said I should contact the VAC.It was the same Centre that gave me their number.

Contact the embassy for more info, their contact details is in their website

Bibra800:
Hahaha.I mentioned the success of the application before .I feel like Justwise is a very coded reserved guy so not to embarrass him.
Anyways, make una no vex. Good luck with your application EVaMD, I could have sworn I've been seeing your name here before.
I'm still waiting on a decision myself ,I'll come and share good news by Gods grace .

Are you sure about that?

Emexnairaland:
I still haven't heard from UKVI shelfied.

When are you supposed to start your course?

freshdad:
depending on who is getting the approval for you, you have to write a formal letter in this format

The Comptroller General,
Nigeria Immigration Service,
Airport Road, Abuja.

Dear Sir,

APPLICATION FOR VISA ON ARRIVAL

I, ........, a Nigerian citizen, would like to apply for a visa on arrival for my daughter; .........- a national of the United States of America with passport number ...... scheduled to arrive the country from the .... 2017 accompanied by my wife ........ with passport number A..... aboard a concerned airline.

Attached to this letter are the following;
1. The data page of my passport
2. The data page of my wife’s passport
3. The data page of my daughters’ passport and,
4. My daughters’ birth certificate.

I look forward to your usual cooperative and swift response.

Yours faithfully,

There is a token to be paid for this approval unfortunately as the cost varies from who's sorting it out for one. The part I wrote from- I was told one has to put 2-3 days to the date you are supposed to arrived at your destination and do not use a precise airline as they may make an issue if you dint arrive on that flight.

That's the best I know.

Thanks for this.

Spinardo:
Hello Good Good People in this "House".......

Where do I start from? Uhhhhhmmm.... I am one of them VERY silent followers of this fantastic forum. I stumbled on the forum sometime in Q4 of 2016 when myself and wifey decided to go this route and I have followed the experience and diverse advises since then.

I read up from the recent past years and those experiences no doubt gave me clarity on all I needed to do/put together...

I normally do not do this but I promised myself and my Creator that once I have the outcome, I'd also come share my experience and help others wishing for same.

The wait has been MEGA tedious and nerve-wrecking; however here goes my TIMELINE (waited to state that for a VERY long time...hehehehee..):

Visa Timeline
Application Centre: TLS, V/I
Type: Non-Priority (Husband)

18/02/17 - Online application (submitted and fully paid)
23/02/17 - Biometrics appointment at TLS VI
23/02/17 - Supporting documents posted from London, UK via Royal Mail
24/02/17 - Response from UKVI Sheffield confirming receipt of application
22/05/17 - Application Assessed email from TLScontact
22/05/17 - Application Ready for Collection email from TLScontact
22/05/17 - Passport collected
19/05/17 - Visa valid
xx/xx/xx - Supporting documents returned in UK

Many thanks to the invaluable advises from Lexusgs430, Justwise, Tosine and a host of others on here... U guys ehhhnnn...... You just may never know how you have affected lives through your invaluable exposure in this regard and willingness to help others......

I will come again to update my documents as a reference point for others.

For those awaiting theirs, Bibra and Nakiemi in particular reference, I wish you guys good luck... I am quite sure the outcome will be positive!

On a lighter note, Lexusgs430...Who you be sef? How did you garner such tremendous knowledge of this process and requirements? That question has been on my mind for a very long time......LOL

Congratulations, glad you found info here useful

marisdgreat:
Am just depressed, sad n frustrated. I received some packages from a friend he resides at Illinois USA to abuja airport using air cargo transit. He sent the packages to Nigeria on Mon n it was received at abuja on Tuesday. So I called the rep 08143152323 he gave me some options to pay using home delivery, so I chose imex services 24630 I paid the remaining bal by wed last week. Since last week up till now am yet to receive any packages from them at abuja to Enugu. And the reps is not picking my calls even now, my friend called them last week they refused to pick his calls n it has made him to stop talking or chatting with me. We are having issues cos of this, he told me that I should receive the goods fast n take photographs with it then I should send it for him to be sure I received the goods. This is d air flight code AA001 flight no 5601983. Please any one that is willing to help me or working in an airport am ready to give u more details or even send u d copy of the receipt he paid before it was sent down to Nigeria. So many thoughts are just coming to my mind I won't blame people that are committing suicide or into prostitution, even though such things are ringing in my head am just waving it off. Please someone should help me
My name is Rita from Enugu

How will doing any of that solve your problem? I mean what is the connection between not getting the item suicide and prostitution ?

It's shocking that almost 90% of comments here are all tribal.

Rutharu:
I have been following your threads but right now,I need your advice.I applied as a tier 4 dependant with my hubby,he was granted while I was denied but was given a AR.I was sent an email some weeks after I submitted my AR to send in my passport,weeks now no response from the VAC concerning my passport.Two questions
1.Why the delay ?
2.Do they still go through your documents and can my visa still be denied?
Awaiting your response,I really need to be with my hubby.Thank you all

Unfortunately this is common as many here have experienced such delay, you just have to keep contacting them from time to time

I have never seen anyone that leads to refusal though..

calmdown:
it is important to know that you are not expected to pay any money to anybody. Also, all the tests that you would take are administer in Nigeria. The video is basically providing everyone seeking US graduate education in the US with the information needed. It does not by any mean whatsoever attempt to derive any gain from anybody. That being said, I wonder why my initial reply was deleted. I told the person asking to direct his questions to the video comment session just so others can benefit from his very important question not for any selfish gain. I believe Mr Justwise will take note of that. Thanks.

..and I also want you to take note not diverting questions to another website for answers

dingbang:
Nice one bro.. But you didn't tell us the nitty gritties. Are we to pay school fees first? How about visa applications... Etc.

All that comes after successful admission and if you get the graduate assistantship then you don't pay tuition fees.

josh050588:
Hello Great people

Myself and wife have been reading previous posts becuase we plan to go to the US late august for vacation with hemmingsway safari resort, and then i would return after 2 weeks but she would stay back to have our first baby (just got married in december 2016).

Our interview date is June 1st, 2017 , we are yet to submit our online form, as our travel agent are assisting us with visa preparations.
but they advised we apply as tourists, since we have a ticket for 2weeks holiday stay in orlando and then my wife can stay back at US to have our child.

Am a little bit skeptical because my wife has a virgin passport, currently awaiting to do her housejob (medical career) and currently a sit at home housewife.

I have travlled to european countries and have enough fund to sponsor our vacation and child birth in the US.

We already paid for our Vacation visa fee B1/B2.

We intend to stay in atlanta, because we have a family friend there for child birth.

[b][b]How do we approach this visa interview?

my wife would be 18weeks when we go to the embassy.

our travel agency advice that i make an id card, that she works for my private company as a doctor, to show local ties.

BUT i JUST WANT TO TELL them as it is...since i have the funds and my wife would definitely return to do her housejob to complete her medical career. we are planning to travel together.

Also need an advice for an affordable hospital in atlanta or maryland. (i have the cost already for northside hospital, need other options).

I would have prefered Houston but no accomodation.

Our proposed POE is Orlando. we intend to submit our application form by wed 24th may latest

Looking forward to an expert advice. Thanks

Avoid that section in red by all means, go with your plan to say things as truthful as you can. Giving birth in US is not a crime as long as you can afford it.

rinzaugustine:
I think he threw it as a decoy to trap some gulible people into sending p.ms to him in the hope of being connected to the miracle working agent.I fell for it when i first saw it and started wondering why i havent had such extraordinary luck in my life until you pointed pointed out the loopholes in the story

That statement there was exactly why i picked interest in this fictitious story.

Do you know that a nairalander was arrested in American embassy few years ago trying to impersonate a lottery winner?

One of the VOs here commented on that case but refused to expose the member but we all knew who that person was.

Pidgin2:
OP, nice advice, really true, you painted a real picture of things unlike those liars posting junk about paradise on earth.

Justwise, I must say kudos to you for helping some people about being scammed. How can someone claim that an agent picked his details randomly and applied for him, chai, people are liars.

Once again, OP is on point

Till today i still don't understand how anybody will believe this story.

Goldenboy007:
Now let me finally comment on the guy that won visa lottery by proxy. There is one thing i have learnt in this world...Never say Never.
I knew a scenario similar to his own and if not that it happened to someone close to me , I will doubt it too. I can confirm that it happened to a former school mate of mine. We used to work in the same building before relocating - He told me one day that he was contacted by a stranger that he won a visa lottery - I told him clearly that it was a scam. However the person was persistent- it happened that his CLO during his NYSC used all their corper details to play visa lottery without informing them- he now gave a condition that my friend had to marry a girl he arranged. He went ahead with the marriage and I can confirm that he traveled to the US o. So Justwise this guy may actually be telling the truth.

This is not the same and i don't know why people keep mixing things up here. The op said the stranger used info from photo album and i asked how did the stranger got his address, phone number, DOB and full name? The picture you painted above is different

i dont work at the embassy and VOA is not processed at any embassy in the world.am a fellow nairalander,
@ the bolded, nigeria immigration facilities are all online. so if nigeria embassy workers are corrupt, lets stop patronizing them and do it our selves, when i needed nigerian visa for my LO, i contact somebody in our atlanta mission and the processes and money was too much for me, i decided to go for VOA which i processed and i shared the good news here...they are not corrupt, if you need their services apart from what they are being paid for, you should get ready to pay them, in USA, if you need your LO blue passport very urgent, you will have to pay higher than normal price(correct me if am wrong)..for more info on VOA pls visit www.immigration.gov.ng i hope i did not violate any rules.

desoul i know you don't work at the embassy and my comment about corrupt embassy workers wasn't meant for you.

Did you just say that Nigerian embassy workers(some) are not corrupt? What service will you contact Nigerian mission that they are not being paid for?

olajay5:
Dear all,

Following the scarcity of Nigerian passport from abroad, is it possible to get the Nigerian passport for my LO in Nigeria and take it along with me to the US for her use to return to Nigeria? Has anybody tried this option? I read people now find it difficult to process emergency travel certificate (ETC), VOA too seems not to be readily available unless you know someone to help you out (as @desouls has helped many here). Quite a number of people are asking for @desouls contact while some are getting frustrated.

Please can @desouls give a step-by-step guide to be taken to process the VOA without necessarily calling for his/her contact anytime anybody wants to process the VOA.

Thank you

I really hope that she does that or somebody else that knows the process because this idea of using contact within the embassy to get VOA will not work here.

The passport booklet is not available but when you contact the insider within the embassy the booklet becomes available?

We need to stop feeding those corrupt Nigerian embassy workers

There is a US student visa thread for question like this.

Emexnairaland:
15th and 16th May

You will probably hear from them before the end of this week

Emexnairaland:
Which other means can I contact them with... Only I send them mail and no response

When did you contact them?

Please post this in US visa thread.

Emexnairaland:
Pls I just need your personal views on my issue.
I applied for tier 4 student visa on 12th April but due to unsuccessful IHS FEE payment, I cancelled the application and requested for a visa refund on the day of my appointment (I have now gotten a refund of the previous application ). I started a fresh application the next day and was booked for an another appointment on 18th April . I submitted my documents and did my biometric on 18th April and had my interview on 20th April at UK Embassy ikeja Lagos. I got a mail on 8th May stating that my application is not straightforward and till now I have not received decision mail. My school start date is on 22nd May 2017 which is few days from now. I am just so worried about the delay and the long wait. Does tier 4 student visa take this long? I BELIEVE I HAVE NOT DONE WRONGLY SO FAR IN THE APPLICATION PROCESS.. PLS WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS ON THIS... Pls Justwise and Co.

Have you contacted the embassy?

opomulero:

bezimo:
The hand of a wicked person is obviously involved in this. If a spiritual diagnosis is carried out in the prophetic on why. I am 100% sure either a close friend, relation or a sibling would be fingered as responsible.

A man's enemies are they of his household as stated in God's word. Wicked and desperately wicked world.

May the Lord Jesus continue to deliver us from the will of the wicked...

..and what did the bible said about false accusation?
