Oh! Okay. Thanks so much. I will send it to my school as soon as I collect it. Should it be addressed to my school or just 'to whom it may concern' since that's what I'd be using for my visa application? And is there a format for addressing the letter? So I can let them know.

I'll keep you posted as to how it goes.

PS: This thread has been so informative and I've learnt so much in just a few days of stumbling on it.

Hello Oga justwise and Co.


Please i have a problem, A decision has been made on my Visa Application since 25th of April 2017 and up till now my passport has not been returned to me or neither has TLS sent me a mail for collection, thats over 3weeks since decision has been made.

Also i even did the Value added service for SMS and i have not gotten any reply.. Should i go to the VI office and complain, or should i still wait ?

NB: i was meant to have traveled by May 7th since i applied around March



Please kindly help a sister here

mimilyrics:
Not yet. I won't be getting it till like May 25. When applying for the visa, do I just go with one addressed to the BBC or to whom it may concern? Do I need any explanation as to why I'm being sponsored? Because I honestly just sent a request to the company and they accepted to.

Thank you.

Hi @justwise, @Spikec.

Kudos for the good job you guys have been doing. I've actually followed the thread from part one. Been up most nights trying to absorb all the necessary info.

I'm on the September 2017 student intake and I'll be fully sponsored by a multinational company. My letter should be ready in a few weeks. my CAS is currently being processed. Pls are there any guidelines to follow? I noticed that most of the other posters here mainly applied using their own accounts or their parents.

There's been one UK visit visa refusal but I've been to the US after the refusal and still have a valid US visa.

Thank you.

well... I'm speaking for myself. i can't.

that he's been cleared by the immigration and now in Windhoek

Afam4eva:
You're going round circles. You went to the UK as a genuine student. You should have also left as a genuine student. Why did you need to apply for a work visa. That's not work the British Embassy had in mind when they gave you a study visa. It's not a crime like i said earlier but you used your Ogbon to beat the system

Lol It's Mauritius not Sechelles. I'm not dumb enough to think that travelling to Mauritius makes it easier for me to cross over to any foreign country. I went there to study briefly which i did and came back as a good citizen of Nigeria I've been discussing relocating to the US and Canada for the past 5 years and i haven't gotten through to actually taking the step because i don't want to be an illegal considering i'm a law abiding citizen

onatisi:
Over 60% of those applying for visas pay exorbitant money to travel agent to help them secure documents for visas or even visas. And majority of those intending to travel now have 70% plan to stay there. The thing that pained me most is that they didnt allow the man to finish his story before they started their holiness campaign theories

Itanna:
Don't mind him. He is only after their passport. I said this earlier. I knew that was his motive but unfortunately, that country has tough immigration. Don't even dare them cos they will fish out your motive. They believe u can't be coming to Namibia of all places when u have SA and other touristic Southern African countries.

Afam4eva:
You conveniently dodged my question. Upon finishing your studies, you should have returned to Nigerian first and then apply for British citizenship from Nigeria if you're the saint you claim to be. Better still, you should have made it known at the time of application that you could decide to remain in the UK if you're such a saint. You hid under the pretense of going to school to become a UK citizen which is what a lot of Nigerians are doing. So, i don't understand how yours is saintly and others are criminals.

Afam4eva:
It's not illegitimate to get citizenship by first schooling abroad. But what did you tell them at the embassy when you were being interviewed or sent your application? Let me guess "Once i'm done schooling, i'll come back home and add my quota to the development of my country". That's actually what they want to hear but a lot of people have post-educational plans which includes getting a job upon graduation, becoming a permanent resident and invariably becoming a citizen. Except of course the decision to remain in the UK came up after you were done with school.

My point is that a lot of us are not totally clean and we have done some things to get to where we are.

Afam4eva:
@OP
You have to accept the fact that you were not detained for no reason. It's not right to come online and say that the namibian immigration were not fair when you actually intend to enter Namibia under false pretense and abscond. Corruption is soo rife in this country that we no longer even know right from wrong.

Having said that, i think a lot of Nigerians travel abroad under false pretense too. It's only when they get there and settle down that they start to debase other people's hustle. How many of the people attacking the guy traveled abroad genuinely. It's either you went through school or supposed visit and then changed your status afterwards.

Weep4myCountry:
My brother you have to visit first and be sure you really want to stay there or its just an illusion, then you can apply for a resident permit.

Weep4myCountry:
Been following up this pastor for years and during that time I also met a Namibian lady via his page and we started talking too, we got intimate without seeing each other and it actually felt real not because am seeking for this citizenship or planning to marry her for selfish reasons and leave her, I know you might be thinking that but seriously I actually felt something in there sincerely and I knew meeting her will be awesome.

Don't come here to judge me that I left my country, job, spent my money and risked my life to go and see a lady, the truth is 80% of those reading this will do the same like me, 10% will escape if their very religious and the other 10% if they are married with kids and a lot of responsibility but young promising dude like me will jump and grab it. Am not justifying my actions but I also believe its not the end of the world and I get back to feet because am really broken now.

After 1 year of talking and getting into each other, we decided to take our relationship to the next level. The lady moved from her parents house wanted to rent a room but she decided to rent a flat in our names which she sent me copies of the agreement and receipt. We both agreed that I will come over and we can leave happily there because of the same believe " Namibia is very peaceful and better than Nigerian to build a home and raise our kids". I have a good knowledge of IT and I studied Computer science she said she will introduce me to her uncle who will give me a better job but he has to see me first because when she told him about me, he said he doesn't trust Nigerians so I have to make him believe am really in love with this lady.

Thanks in advance...

Weep4myCountry:
I heard so much good things about Namibia also from this forum, about the country been a tourist center and how beautiful the country is so I decided to apply for a visa and explore, also I have a Pastor friend here in Namibia that I intended seeing and staying at his place when I get here for the period of visit. That's how it all started..

I have a good job in Nigeria so I saved up some few months of my salary and allowances for this trip. I applied for my visa in Abuja and sharply it came out, although I spent a lot before it came out and also paid some extra charges to some staffs there at the embassy that said if I don't pay them I might be denied. For just my visa alone I spent over 500k because of the treats of getting from some staffs there that will always call me and tell me the have a lot to do for me to get the visa, after me submitting with valid documents and met all their requirements.

When I first paid 100k after submitting I wanted to stop paying but I said how will my 100k go just like that so became a maga that once u start paying u will keep paying till u get what u want so they took advantage of me and I kept paying but the visa came out.

Hello House, pls I'm new here but will really appreciate your opinions. I have a lil problem as I jst realized I'm supposed to apply for a Tier 2 dependent visa (general migrant up to 3years) instead of a settlement visa. I have submitted my application, I have done my biometrics and ive also sent my supporting documents to sheffield. Pls is there a way I can change from settlement to tier 2 dependent? I am yet to get a mail from UKVI tho. Pls wil appreciate your response on what to do next. Thanks.
