I am not sure but as for South Africa, they don't verify, I ve seen people submit fake account statement and still got visa..ask any agent, they will confirm...but I think they keep records of which every application

Please don't share or encourage such idea here it will not be allowed.

claremont:
So what is your suggestion?! The OP came here looking for help, staying in Nigeria is not an option to him apparently.

That is the only real option he has at the moment. Going abroad is not do or die issue and not always the answer to hardship.

claremont:
You really think the white women don't know this?! They are fully aware that the individual needs papers, and they themselves require love. So it's a mutually beneficial relationship . It's not a sham if it can be proven by both parties that there is a subsisting genuine relationship; and even if it's a sham, it's up to the immigration authorities to prove that it is. It's not up to us.

The other option is for the OP to go to France and join the French Foreign Legion. It's up to him to weigh both options and choose what is best for him.

I don't know any white woman who will allow herself to be used temporarily for visa and left home and dry as a single mom. We shouldn't be encouraging people to purposely go out to look for white women to use for visa.

claremont:
So what do you suggest he does?! The OP has clearly made up his mind that he wants to travel out and he apparently has secured a valid visa for this reason. Do you want him to go abroad and remain an illegal alien and/or join the scammers?! My suggestion is a valid and legal route to getting settled.

What you suggested to him is sham marriage and it's not legal. Nobody wants to be used for paper then dumped when paper is out.

claremont:
I know there is nothing that can be said here that will prevent you from going, so let me give you a glimmer of hope. Take the following steps below;

1. Travel to Greece.

2. When you are in Greece, take a bus to Germany.

3. In Germany, claim asylum. Tell them you are a victim of Boko Haram. Technically, you are not lying, everyone in Nigeria is a direct or indirect victim of Boko Haram.

4. You will be paid and housed while your asylum claim is being considered.

5. While waiting, liaise with Nigerians in Germany to hook you up with a German lady. Marry her or at least impregnate her.

6. If you follow this steps, your chances of getting asylum is 50-50.

A friend of mine did the exact same thing years ago, he is married to a German now with a son. He is actually a member of Nairaland although I have lost his details. Good luck.

I don't expect that from you to be honest

You guys are the best I must say. I moved to the UK in July after getting my Spouse Visa in June. I just came to read to the threads Reading the threads brought tears to my eyes. It's been a fantastic journey. I'm all settled here now. Got a job in Sept.... similar to the role I was working in while I was in Nigeria.
I pray everyone will get their Visas ... (Amen)

Just wanted to thank you guys.


@portsmouth, Gosh I admire your strength and courage. I've been following your posts since I applied for my spouse Visa in April. I kept reading the thread and was praying I will read your success story. Its almost here sweety. Good luck.
Best to luck to everyone.
This is going to be the 1st xmas I'm spending with my husband this since we got married in 2013.

Merry Xmas Everyone.

Congratulations! Really good to read from you. Glad you're settling down quick. Happy Xmas

If we all run away from Nigeria because of bad government, who will fix it? we all need to be here and make our country great. I will like a situation where there will be a ban on leader's relatives travelling abroad. Who said coming home is downfall? Most of them are into all kinds of menial job just to keep body and soul together. Coming home is even better for some of them.

Yes but they earn far better than many office jobs in Nigeria

I simply b4 going for us application visited dubai using a connecting flight were I had to enter Ethiopia for a day on both legs of the trip. .. n other opportunities came where we had to visit dubai again 4 three days. ..so by the time we went for d interview we claim better travel history. ....

Let em conclude dt u re not big into long holidays n always wanna come bk home. ..#winks. ..

Visiting the UK or other EU countries may help but Dubai will not necessarily help her case

amdx21:
Good morning everyone, I have my tier 4 visa and I want to travel with my spouse and kid as my dependants. I have the money for their maintenance in my account, my question is since their application is separate and it is one account statement they will use, am I to print 2 copies of the same bank statement for each of them to submit with their application? Please anyone who has travelled with dependants should help. Thanks

One is enough if they are submitting together

alabikunlekam:

You are actually the person that wanted to use fake SOA. Don't try it, if detected, the consequence is 10 years ban .

christyox:
Hello VO are you there? Is this forum still on? We are not receiving response anymore from you and most times your response are repulsive, is there anything we are not saying right that makes you respond the way you do? We would really appreciate your response. Thank you

Can you explain what you mean by that?

thebaft:
And honestly ...I do not have the answer to that question too. Any update on the status of my data request?

Contact Perry John Calderwood

thebaft:
Yes I do need data. I need evidence that Nigerians persistently and consistently lie and submit fake documents to embassy officials. This is a bold statement (more like a stamp) that has to be backed up with data. If you can't back up a statement, why make the statement in the first place? Data is one of the things that separate facts from assumptions. And honestly ...I do not have the answer to your question.

I think its pretentious trying to deny an issue like this, can you explain why it takes 8 weeks to process visa application submitted in Ghana while in Nigeria its 41 weeks?

thebaft:
Unfortunately ... none of us have data to show that foreign embassies are fed up with Nigerians and don't trust them because they persistently and relentlessly submit fake/forged documents.

Do you need data to show that? Why would you trust anybody who persistently lie and submit fake documents? So my question again to you is: Without interview how will you determine the credibility of such applicant if not through documents submitted?

destisibor:
Akinwale Falowo just scamed 144 persons in Benin city. This time around, he changed his name to Benjamine Taiwo Osidohlor issuing out fake Qatar, Canada and Australia visas using a fake company called OCEAN WINDOW GLOBAL CONCEPT. He was detained for 13 days in police custody. His court hearing is schedule on 1/19/2016 at magistrate court in sapele road in Benin city.

I think his victims need to see this thread to build a case against him

thebaft:
I do not believe that the Canadian Deputy High Commission is taking advantage of us. Neither do I believe the perceived submission of false documents leading to public mistrust (mistrustocide ) is the cause of visa denials.

For the visa officers, they have laid down procedures and checklists which they abide by and do not bring in emotions when processing our applications. The fact that all applications are prejudiced before review (i.e. all applicants are immigrants) places the burden of proof on the applicant i.e. working from the answer to the question . CIC is not known for being service/people oriented, but policy oriented. If I have to compare them with the US, I can say that the US Department of State is focused on improving the user experience of their customers while maintaining the integrity of their immigration policies. That is important to them. But CIC is focused on the strict implementation of the immigration policies while being resistant to the introduction of current process improvement ideas. (Late to use VFS, late to start biometrics, late to start online applications).

For we the applicants, it is a possibility of mistakes, omissions or just not being diligent with your application that leads to denials. If we only knew why we are denied in the first place, it will surely make the learning curve shorter for applicants. I have to give props to the UK for that. Their refusal letters are detailed. Canada and US use their generic forms that leave applicants puzzled after each denial. However, Canada gives you (actually gives people living in Canada) the right to request for such information via GCMS. So for me, the perception that visas are denied because the general populace submits fake documents is not a rational one. I am aware that false representation (submission of false documents) leads to visa application bans. I guess the focus of the application process is on the credibility of the applicant's intent rather than on the applicant's documents.

Cheers!

You are completely wrong there. How will the embassy determine the credibility of an applicant if not through documents submitted since there is no interview?At the same time you agreed that submission of fake document leads to a ban so my question to you is this: Will that not damage the credibility of the applicant?

slimgudguy:
Please oga righteous you speak for your self i don't know those that use fake docs but my point still stands and clearly with people like you Nigerians cant stay honest because you ready to jump into generalizing statements and if you cant understand the sarcasm in my point on home ties then don't comment.

Of course you know I'm telling you the bitter truth you can deny it all you want.

slimgudguy:
No i don't agree,Nigerians do use fake docs but not all and that's a fact,and lie in visa applications is not peculiar to Nigerians stop believing stereotypes, the immigration system makes it hard for honesty they put all kind of flimsy requirements that don't translate to life here what do you expect,for example telling people they don't have enough ties to there home country like wtf man this is my home am i from the moon?of course i have ties its my freaking home.Have you ever wonder why they don't do interviews?They don't even give applicants a chance to explain there selves Its not everything you blame your people and fact is when you see a fake doc you will know that's no excuse for there actions they are selfish and inconsiderate and its the fact.

That is not the fact, actually reading your post I can clearly see that your knowledge about home tie is very limited hence the reason many people like you make comments like this.

The same issue with countries that conduct visa interview...many of us Nigerians can not be trusted even with toilet brush, the same way we present fake documents is the same way we lie at the interview. Yes sometimes genuine applicants pay the price but that is what happens when majority ruined it for the good ones.

slimgudguy:
That's my point they pay a lot for our visa but are very sure of getting the visa and they get the visa and i know because i have a friend over and they don't go through half the stress they put us trough and don't waste time waiting, that's the way it should be,we pay a lot too and getting all the docs ready is not free and a lot of us travel to lagos or abuja for it so you know the stress,if we start refusing a lot of there applicants like they do to us they will change,the fact is Canada embassy needs to be seriously cautioned they are actually taking advantage of us.

No rather many Nigerians need to be seriously told to stop submitting fake/forged documents because foreign embassies are fed up and can't trust us anymore.

Apple19:
