@Justwise and Others in the House,
i want to say a BIG THANK YOU......
i collected my UK VISA TODAY

Congratulations! Enjoy your trip

dotcomnamename:
Thank you Justwise,

He has already sent email to the Irish embassy in abuja telling them about the mistake. He has also cancelled his flight reservation from Ireland to South Africa, and also he has booked a new flight that confirmed Lagos-Dublin-Lagos, so no trip to South Africa again. What do you think?

That is the best he can do under the circumstances and also he spotted the mistake early enough

Hi Vicjustice, Justwise and Cozybunch,


Please i need your urgent advice on this.

My brother have been to South Africa twice. He was so happy that his boss at work finally approved his annual leave recently for next August 2016, so he just renewed his South African Visa to another 3 months. He intends to visit Ireland before travelling to South Africa. so today, he just submitted his online Irish Visa application and he stated in his application that he will spend two weeks in Ireland and he will fly from Ireland to South Africa where he intend to spend 4 days, and then return to Nigeria.

But he just realised now that his South Africa visa will not be valid within the dates he claim he will be spending in South Africa.

For instance, he intend to travel from Nigeria to Dublin Ireland on 1 August 2016 and leave Ireland on 15 August 2016 to South Africa. He claims he will leave South Africa on 20th August 2016.

But he just realised now that his South African visa will expire on 8th August 2016. He is really worried that the Irish embassy will refuse his application base on the fact that his South African visa will not be valid for his trip from Ireland to South Africa.

This is what he just did today: He sent email to the Irish embassy in abuja telling them about the mistake. He has cancelled his flight reservation from Ireland to South Africa, he has booked a new flight that confirmed Lagos-Dublin-Lagos, so no trip to South Africa again.

A letter from from inviter in Ireland addressed to Irish embassy stating that she is aware that her visitor will not be travelling to South Africa from Ireland again but will return to Nigeria from Ireland due to the fact that that her visitor just realise that his South African visa will expire on 8th August 2016 and that he wishes to spend part of his annual leave with his family in Nigeria after his visit to Ireland.

Please what do you think he can also do in this situation?

Thanks.

I'm not sure that there is much he can do now since the application has been submitted. Hopefully the embassy will not notice the SA visa expiration date

@AshBammy


Why not answer that question here rather than asking the op to contact you?

imperiouxx:
This is a nice decision justwise. If possible Ojap's post too. Thanks

I expect SirRiddy to do that now...that was the whole idea of unbanning him

ZOE07:
Hello people, good morning. I was trying to apply for a short term study visa (6 months or less). I started out the application, confirmed, booked appointment and brought me to make a payment for IHS. After inquiry from others, I was told I am not meant to pay for IHS as I have selected the wrong visa type while applying. Every time I log in back to my account, it takes me back to the IHS payment page and there is no button to cancel my application. Please what do i do?

Have you tried starting a new application?

dave07:
Thank you sir, will look into it, am not just a fan of seating long in airports in the name of connecting flight.
I also saw Medview now runs a direct flight to LGW airport. Anybody's got any experience on this route?
@justwise, you are sure doing a good job on this forum though I hate to admit you let the pressure get to you at times, but you still remain one of the more rational mods on NL, just try and understand imperialebony &phardy view points. Even in the most perfect human system, imperferctions can still be spotted and this include the UK system. Furthermore both of you (justwise and imperialebony) are providing good counsels on this page, pls let there be no bad blood biko.

I don't think i agree or disagree with phardy's view point on the case, the outcome of the recent application will clear it out.

As for imperialebony ...i can't stand it when people for some reasons start misleading people with no fact to back that up.

Whatever your opinion of the UK or immigration policies is is not about my business really but opinions should not be taken to be fact.

Fifi123:
What is the maximum duration between the success of the appeal and the submit of the passport to the Embassy to stamp visa.

Non..they will contact you on their own time scale

Fifi123:
Does wrong partner's passport's expiry date affect visa, if submitting a new application with wrong passport expiry date with my passport to embassy to stamp visa on it?
Because my partner's passport was expired
Kindly answer

Of course it will, you can't submit an expired passport for visa application. It's 6 months minimum validity

dickoflife:
morning bro.. Thanks for remembering me. I actually have an issue with this ban issue... I did overstepped the bounds on the use of language before I was banned last week but nr justwise how come I was the only one banned. . When some things here were mgrating accusations against my person you ignored. They were the source of the whole altercation. Pls what is good for the goose is good for the gander and whatever type of animal is involved in the equation..
P.s: at the moment emirates na d way o.. Ethiopian is crazy for the us. I went to their office at galleria yesterday and the price they gave me to illionois is 285 k one way. While emirates can still do you 205k.

I did not ban you supermod did.

fizzile:
Justwise, Please we are soliciting for his ban to be reconsidered. Sirriddy is not a stranger to each of us. Please, am personally pleading. Funny enough Sirriddy will simply move on, afterall he has gotten his visa approved. But for some of us,sirriddy is a great resource. Many have benefitted from him. In future he will help some with sevis fee and application. Please.

Done.

ayosco2008:
What page on education section or do u have a link to the thread.. I can't find it there

Click on his profile and scroll down to it.

godG:
Oga Justwise, calm down. We know you are doing a great job here.

But on this, that was an abuse of power. OjaP didn't violate any of the Nairaland rules. None. Simply put, you hid his post beacause he mentioned SirRiddy in it . With that, you went a bit too far.

You owe him an apology.

No you own me an apology for making that false allegation.

ayosco2008:
Please Mr justwise or should I say the mod should please bring back the transcript ojap posted.. There's a particular tip I was trying to read and then I couldn't find the post again. Please if not for anything, just for the purpose of this thread bring back the transcript.. I really need that tip....

His transcript is already in Education section you can read it there.

swappylove:
OK now I understand u now.i am actually talking about the passport agency.dallas passport agency which u can use if u are pressed for time.n u don't pay any extra, just the 65dollars expediting fee.
It's on 1100 commerce street.however call 8774872778 to book an appointment first

swappylove:
@ justwise why u remove my post nau?
I wasn't advertising for anyone o.its US government passport agency not a private agency. guess u misunderstood

Yes and that was because you posted two numbers one for government and another for private agent

ifyalways:
Seems most countries now including South Africa are not too keen on giving Nigerians visa.

Too bad for people trying so hard to get out or simply go on vacation.

Do you really blame those countries knowing what Nigerians get up to?

imperialebony:
@ justwise, I've been following some people's post here very closely and I'm so sure you too have been replying them when they sought your advice, up to the last guy who said his mum was refused on the grounds that the ECO said the cert of Inc she submitted was fake. I advised the poor guy, not even knowing he had done the affidavits, even paid hugely to CAC before he could get a confirmation letter from them addressed to the eco...that the cert of Inc was not fake, as the ECO claimed...so, what would you say of that? I was moved by the plight of that guy just to ensure justice prevails. Obviously, they just used an excuse of fake cert of Inc to refuse her. The guy also confirmed to you in one of his replies that CAC said no embassy ever contacted them, contrary to the ECO's claim that they contacted CAC...did the woman not meet requirement? Please tell me because that's the reason she was refused and she had good travel history, according to her son who had been seeking people's advise here for days. if you're still in doubt of what I said about UK, read this http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/may/25/vote-to-leave-eu-will-condemn-britain-to-irrelevance-say-historians. And if still in further doubt, click here http://www.theweek.co.uk/eu-referendum. I hate it when somebody would just wake up and tell me I'm wrong, without putting my hypothesis to test first. Do a research before you attack me next time bro. It's not fair. We're all here to learn and I do believe people also need our advice based on our wealth of experience too .

Dude you are just make allegations on something we know very little about, the ECO might have carried out their own investigation about the business before stating that the business is not hers. We don't know the whole story neither do we know what she submitted but you keep going on about how they refuse people visa falsely.

The U.K. Referendum of EU was not because they were asked to take some refugees as you falsely stated before. The referendum issue was an election promise far before the refugees crisis.

The U.K. Economy is not in crisis again as you wrongly pointed out.

Nobody is attacking you but avoid misleading people even when the fact is everywhere.

OjaP:
You banned him simply because he was adding people to a particular Facebook group; my post was about his visa approval (no similarity). Whether he instructed me to post or not is inconsequential.

My post was for other people to learn from his successful interview, and that should supersede any type of ban since it is going to be to the benefit of the thread, and the Nairaland Forum as a whole.

And you actually quoted the 50 years ban? Where is your sense of humor?

It's definitely consequential because you posting what he has written is as good as him posting it himself.

His interview transcript does not supersede no jack! A ban is a ban.


He was busy diverting traffic to Facebook while we have the same group here in trave section and Education.

I pointed out this to him last September but he constantly keep asking people for email addresses to add them up then he was banned, he emailed me and asked for the ban to be reduced but I unbanned him.

Now few months down the line he was at it again leaving me with no choice.

Yes I quoted that 50yrs comment because here in nairaland if you don't dispute inaccurate info then people take it to be true.

imperialebony:
Well, it's my opinion and I know I'm very right. You may also click and read the news link too, if in doubt. The report I'm getting from those who have applied recently in this forum are not palatable...including those who met all the requirements . That's not to say people should stop applying. I never discouraged anybody but only advised them...those instances mentioned in my post are real and verifiable. My people are all over there.

They met all requirements by whose standard? Yours?

Your statement about the UK economy and the refuges issue couldn't be more inaccurate.

CiscoChic:
Major my parents but I own a portion.

So I'm assuming nothing can be done to get the visa due to what I currently earn even if I have a letter of sponsorship from my parents and a letter of invitation from the family I'm going to visit.

Can stocks/bonds work?

You know exactly what the problem is. Your earning is your strongest tie to Nigeria.

stocks/bonds may help if you liquidate them and turn them to cash in hand.

imperialebony:
My friend, please tell mama to avoid uk, at least for now. They're pretty mad with visa now. UK ko rogbo rara bayii. They are mad with their current dwindling economy. The move by Nigerian government and others are making to repatriate the huge stolen funds in their care, which they always trade with, will worsen their economic situation soon. When most of the EU countries were busy taking refugees, UK refused because they're sick economically. They even threatened to bark out of the EU at some point because others accused them for refusing refugees(though uk has deliberately chosen to be a nominal member all along). The fact remains that, they now look for irrelevant stuffs to refuse people visa now, especially those applying from developing countries like Nigeria. Today, they deported more Nigerians. In the next 10 years, the whole world will pity UK because they only live make-belief lives. They're finished! For details of about the Nigerians deported today, please click this link http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/40-nigerians-deported-uk-australia-immigration-offences. Or copy it and paste on your browser. I have a cousin whose papers were overdue for renewal but they refused to renew it. I also know a couple of other guys like that in same situation. This wasn't the case the past. You could even walk to central London like a queen without a paper before and nobody would challenge you. Now, our people can't try it. They always hide in the toilet once they visit their offices for random search of illegal residents working in their country. Once they get them, it's muritala straight!. What more can I say, I used to have a neighbour who once travelled to the uk as a student and after graduation, no job. He embarked on the second master's degree, still no job upon completion. Now, he's back home, hustling. He's getting better now as he's doing his own business...not many nigerians in same situation would take such a wise but risky decision. I was at TLS sometimes to submit my documents. The last time I ever applied was in 2013 and it was at VFS oregun then. I wanted to renew, there I spotted 1 pretty lady who used to be my auntie's neighbour in the uk. She schooled in the uk but no job so she came back home. She called me leta as we exchanged numbers. When I heard her story, I pitied her. She actually got the TLS job from the UK. They're not paying her much though. She can still make do because she's not going to pay unnecessary taxes at home. Please my friend, I'd advise you just tell your mum to take it easy for now. Tell her to keep calm. She can reapply after six months. She should buttress her claims with all the letters written by the relevant agencies that confirm she's the rightful owner of those documents they claimed were fake. And to all potential students here in my opinion, if you can find your way into any of the Canadian universities, you stand a brighter chance of getting a good job after you finish. But if you must apply to uk, pls I'm not discouraging you, neither am I saying you won't get your visa...and to potential visitors, if you don't have compelling reasons to visit uk,don't waste your money. you may try Yankee. It's easier to get their visa now, unlike before. Their visit visa B1/B2 is now 2 years multiple entry...unlike when I used to apply in early 2000s a they would issue 3 months single entry. I was issued 3 months single entry visa twice, the first was on a virgin passport...my first visa for that matter, in October 2004. And to those seeking a vacation or honeymoon, dubai is a place to be. They don't refuse visa and you'll enjoy your hard-earned money to the fullest .I hope my long explanation and advice will lay this prolonged matter to rest. Cheers

You are so wrong that i don't even know where to start highlighting, this is simply inaccurate. I still don't know the UK you are referring or where you get your info from.

Thanks for the response chupcake and justwise.
is it very important to get an apartment prior to applying and submitting the tenancy agreement alongside the application for it to be successful considering the fact that i'm going with my family(though getting apartment from here might not be very feasible), we have a place to stay for the first few days before getting our own apartment. And also, we will be using my personal account for the maintenance fund for the three of us.
Please advise, as i really want the application to be suceessful.
God bless you.

1.No you don't have to get an apartment before applying.

2.Are you on scholarship ?

phardey:
Hi Justwise,

We confirmed from CAC that she's the owner of the Business name.
CAC has issued us a letter for UKVI stating she owns the business name.
CAC didn't acknowledge the error came from their incompetent and Lazy staffs because my mum included the refusal letter when she went to CAC to enquire about her Business Name. CAC reckons UKVI never asked them confirmation.

I just tire for Nigeria jare... too much wahala.

If that is the case you just have to wait and see the outcome of this current application.

CiscoChic:
@justwise
I just received a refusal of visa on the grounds stated below :
1. You have stated on your application that you are single and are employed as a sales engineer and earn N40,000 (£137.82) per month. As evidence of this you provides an employment letter
2. Although you state your trip to the United Kingdom will be financially supported by your parents, I have to take into consideration your personal and financial circumstances in Nigeria. you have not provided evidence of income. Therefore I am not satisfied as to your own personal and financial circumstances in Nigeria

What can I do? And what are my chances is I include evidence of landed property

Your landed property or that of your parents?

OjaP:
Justwise--

Why did you delete my post about sirRiddy's visa approval?

He asked you to post that on his behalf? That is another way of going round the ban. That makes a mockery of the ban.

He is not serving a 50 years ban as you incorrectly stated in that post, his ban expires on the 13th of July 2016.

Hello house,
please I need a very urgent guidance regarding tier 4 dependent visa.
I want to apply for a tier 4 visa with my husband and our 1-year old baby as my dependents.Is it okay if we apply at the same time.
I did my MSc in the Uk, had my baby there and my husband came around to join me as a dependent, we left the uk at the same time.
Now I have been offered a place for a PhD program, and Im thinking of applying for visa at the same time with them nest week.
Can the gurus in the house advise, please.

Sure you can do that.

Question1:
These are the list of doc i submitted:

1. Visa letter from Kings College
2 . Visa introductory letter from my school REGENT UNIVERSITY Ghana, stating that am their student
3. Letter from my Guardian, confirming that they are my guardian and assuring them that i would return after my study including their bank statement. unfortunatly we dont bear the same surnname

4. 1 yearResident permit
5.Transcript
6. ID card
7. School fee receipt from level 100 to 300

Please how else do I prove their legal guardianship. I have change my course to INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS which is more related to ECONOMICS dat am studying..

Help me ..God will help U

The whole thing does not add up, you are still a student but you want to travel to London for a summer course which is even lower than the level you are studying now?

I'm not going to discourage but if i were you i will take a step back and think this through carefully before reapplying.

comfy:
@Justwise thanks for all the info on this topic. You are really on point. I have a question, does the consent letter have to be notarized? I just had my baby, I need to know ASAP so hubby can do that and DHL to me.

Thanks

The answer is no.

Congratulations!
