My darlings for me it is for the child to have alternative in life.I work in a sector were experts are highly rated even those with clear Nigeria origin eg I had a collegue that was paid £8000 because she is Nigeria/British (a lady)while her altern ie BTB was paid NGN500 000 (A guy) only Nigerian citizenship
Another lady fresh from RSUST after service was employed to manage a branch of her company in Copenhagen because she is Nigeria/British.
I can go on an on trust me
So my people don't worry you will the benefits sooner than you think even if the child lives and school throughout in Nigeria the benefits can not be over emphasised.

Nigerians are subsets of Nigeria. At the rate we are destroying Nigeria, possibilities are fast fading from the horizon.

favoredgal:
I don't know think it's for the parents to become us citizens.

At least not in my case. I have a fantastic job here so does my husband we don't dream about relocating

It's all about giving the child options - chance to travel the world without a visa, chance to good health care, education, an alternate live if he or she wants. In summary a world of possibilities

If you read back in this section you will see answers to all your questions.
https://www.nairaland.com/2656320/usa-visit-visa-part-2/267

US visa officers are not much interested in "invitation letter."
You must prove that you will return home after your visit with strong ties to home.
Then your finances must cover the trip.
Ties are Job, Family, Landed property.

Dear Justwise, it is unfortunate that you were so quick to close a thread started on this topic. I know you know a great deal about Canada visas however, not all visas fall under student visa which I believe you have become an expert. There are different types of work permits for working in Canada.
Here are some types that I know of:
SOWP: for spouses of people already in Canada
Open work permit: No restriction on jobs you can apply to and you are not a spouse.
Closed work permit: You need LMIA and must only work for a specific employer.
LMIA Exempt Work Permit: Mostly for people who have been nominated for Permanent residency in a Canadian Province but need a work permit to resume work before PR processing is complete. You are given a work permit letter along with your provincial nomination certificate.

There are some of us who may have a PR application in progress but also have a work permit application in progress. We cannot benefit from the information in the Visitors, Students (Travelling to Canada) and Federal Skill workers program. I have a PR in progress but it is not even under Federal Skill workers/Express Entry.

Anyway, I think this thread (SOWP) applicants is close enough to contain information that might be relevant to our case, though my Work permit is not SOWP. Please do not Close this thread!

nakosaberks:
Good day everyone,
I'm really glad to be a member of this forum. I have been following this particular thread for sometime now. In fact, the information I gathered from here enabled me to apply for my visa and it was out within 6 days in Lagos and I will be travelling by December.

However, I will like gurus in the house to clarify me on the following cuz this will be my first time of travelling out.

In my visa application I stated I will be attending a conference between 19th November to 30th December and i believe my visa was granted on that basis cuz it came out quick but for some reasons I will no longer attend the conference but would want to utilize the visa by second week of December.

Now my questions are: hope the purpose of my visit will not affect me at the port of entry since I will be travelling on a different date? I mean is there a way the immigration officers at the port of entry detect this and refuse one entry?

Again, hope I can use the visa any time for visiting aside the time and reason stated on my application.

Answers needed asap

Hi Justwise,

My Husband's Tier 4 PBS dependant visa was refused based on the fact that ECO was not satisfied my marriage was subsisting ( not submitting pictures outside marriage, no evidence of contact ). I applied for a review and havent gotten any response after 1 week. My 30 days vignette visa will expire in 2 weeks and I dont want to travel without my husband. Do you suggest I re-apply for my husband and what further proofs do I need to submit aside wedding pictures and marriage certificate?

Leahpal:
They submitted car &house documents, bank statements,all the company document,audited reports with tax clearance.sponsor letter utility bills from the sponsors.photocopy of the British passport,letter from the solicitor, bank statement from the sponsor,housing accomodation from the sponsor, employment letter from the company where she works,affidavit then pictures.

Reprobate:
is it legal to study or do internship for a few months while on a visit visa to uk.
eg engaging in a short 2months course or internship in make up, while being in the uk with a valid 2yr visa?

Ruth222:
an open work permit allows the holder to work in any position for any employer in Canada for the length of time stated on the document, whereas Accompanying spouses or common-law partners of foreign students are eligible for an open work permit, which means they do not need a job offer or a labour market opinion from Service Canada.



What is the difference between SOWP and open work permit?

Ruth222:
Hi everyone. I am one of the applicants for work permit. I did my biometrics on July 8 with upfront Medicals but no response yet. Mine is not sowp tho but just open work permit.

babaobakonami:
Good morning to all and Justwise! I hv been following the group for the past two weeks now.

I submitted my applications on the 1st of dis month, the application got to uk on the 3rd. And I was sent a mail from der uk's office.

I got a message decision mail from TLS on 15th of Nov 2016 and the following day, got another mail saying my passport and any other documents ready for collection.

My worries is dis... My Uncle my sponsor in Uk was not called in the uk. But he sent every necessary document. Avery documents about him.. His a british citizen.


Is it a must for dem to call?

Dayeur24:
I feel the need to post my visa time line as well as few thing I did to get my UK visa issued. I had submitted my application before seeing this thread. The thread helped calm my nerves and also got me apprehensive at the same time. I had just made a " lodgement " a few days before submitting my application at TLS Abuja. However due to previous information obtained from "the US birth" section of this website earlier in the year, I followed it up with a letter and documents to show the reason for the deposit. That been said, after reading thru the pages of the UK visa enquiries I realised so many mistakes I had made on my application particularly with respect to expenses which shot over 6000 pounds despite the supposed sponsor's account statement having a balance of around 4 million naira. I also made a few other mistakes while filling the application forms which I wouldn't want to divulge for fear of been hounded as I know very well that visa/clearance officers and border patrol officers visit this site to get updated on "naija tactics". I must also say that I was inline with most of the directions given here as I submitted so many documents it was almost like I was handing a bible over. Thanks for always helping people Justwise and Co.

Biometrics at TLS Abuja 7th November
Visa received by Ukvi 8th November at 7:33am. Very weird
Decision made 16th November.
Passport ready for collection 17th November.
Visa printed on the 16th of November.

ObenJoshua:
Hello, Please I, and two of my colleagues are working towards further study in SA, we were told that we need to do one year honors program because our certificates were obtained after 4 years, that said, we are planning to apply for honors program now, so with this please I have a few questions.. How much does it cost to process SA visa from start to finish, also what are the necessary requirements though I have read the stuffs on their website, because an agency asked us to bring 400 thousand naira each which I think is outrageous, also an agency (sisa) claims that they can get admission within 48 hours without we doing saqa, is this a reasonable thing to do. I will really appreciate your response(s) because the content here have been really helpful, and eye opening most importantly, thanks

jones2014:

I will appreciate your response. Thanks. cc justwise, nelsono, badneat et al

Hello all, I trust you all are doing well settling in school and course work.

I want to ask, if I am applying for visa, do I do so as a residence permit holder (BRP tier 4), or I should apply with my Nigerian passport.
Thanks

@justwise and other gurus please i need ur help.
A friend and her mum were denied uk visa.
For her she was denied purely from her previous refused visa wasnt explained nd presently she owns a company she is operating still dey werent satisfied. Then for her mum their reason was that they couldnt get the relationship between her nd her daughter nd she didnt submit ties which she did.he also made some mistakes staingb that she nd her mum intends staying for two weeks whereas they intended staying for three weeks which was stated on the form,nd for her mum she submitted doc but he still insisted that he didnt see any documents.at the end there is no right of appeal or right to administrative review.please we need ur advice asap.thanks

I can prep on my own, I want to reapply in 3mths time. What do u suggest I do?

Principessa0:
This thread is specifically for people who are neither applying for Visitors' Visa, Students Visa nor Permanent Residency.
We can discuss with each other here. I applied for Closed Work Permit in April 2016 and I am still waiting for it. It been 7 months (yeah, it says 15 weeks on CIC website, well that could be how long it takes to process your application once CIC starts processing. Processing has been very slow this yeah basically due to high number of applications and workload, but I am patient.....someday I will get it. I completed medical examination in October.
