Enhenh, congratulations to all successful visa and POEs, plus all our los dem. May God continue to guide our steps. And to all our newbies, you're welcome on board this flight , pls enjoy while you go through from part 1-3.....

So my update, I've concluded on Houston O. But will stop over in Dallas for a few days before porting. Hope I won't be too late at 37weeks for my doc.

Also, booked Qatar airways on hold, but then I saw this new baggage allowance review with United and my eyes wide . Or does this new rule affects them all?? Qatar will also be having a stop over of over 14hrs on return, and no connection accommodation, na im i pick race O. Though hubby will be with me but then, how will I manage with lo?? but the price cheap sha.

And those that had travelled with Emirate, was there provisions for accommodation or will do that myself?? Cos they also have about 21hrs layover O. All of them tire me sef.

No cheap flights again O, all na btw 350&500k. . This ppl no dey smile at all.

Pls mamas and papas travelling in January, in case you see any deal, abeg holla O. Intend booking any one before the week runs out.
Also for any latest cheap Hosp in Dallas, I no go still mind too. ;DD ...nice day peeps..

Good mornin nairalanders. A friend of mine got an email that his visa lottery he applied for years back is successful. As for me I suspected a foul play as he said it was in the year 2010 he applied for the lottery and am sure if one's visa would be granted through lottery, it shouldn't take 5years. And one more thing about the mail is that, they said he should file for all that is needed and make a payment of $1,250 withing 7 working days. Pls fellow nairalander, could be real or scam? Has anyone got this kinda email recently? I posted this because it's often said that two good heads are better than one.

Hello everyone, I've been following this thread silently for a few months now and I can't even start listing all the facts and bits of info I've picked up on here...@Justwise, @Portsmouth86, @Lexusgs430 and @Oreskid your posts have been very very helpful please keep up the brilliant job!!! Now to share my timeline with you guys. Note I started evidence collection and application in the UK before traveling to lagos with my sponsor/fiancée(now wifey). We paid a most brilliant lawyer(nasty and expensive but bloody good) who did a fantastic job. Anyway here's our timeline


Monday 16th November had TB test at the Migration Health Assessment Centre (MHAC)
Lagos

Tuesday 17th November had pre marriage Counselling and meeting at the Ministry of Interior Marriage Registry
Ikoyi Lagos.

Wednesday the 18th of November
Got married at Ikoyi Marriage Registry.

Thursday 19 November 2015, 10:00am Appointment at
Teleperformance Ikeja Lagos (Got there half an hour late so paid for premium lounge)
Also Paid for PRIORITY SERVICE!

Monday 23rd November sent supporting documents from London to Sheffield via Royal Mail next day recorded delivery with tracking number
Supporting documents arrive at Sheffield on Tuesday 24th November at 7:23am.

Thursday 3rd December sponsor received email stating that decision has been made and that we will be notified sometime in the next 48 hours.

Tuesday 8th December received another email stating that decision has been made and Passport despatched.

Monday 14th December received email from Tlscontact that passport is ready for pick-up.

Picked up passport on Tuesday 15th December, lo and behold inside it was my shiny Spouse Visa!!!!

The decision making took just 8 days from when application was received which I believe is down to paying for priority service and also having a well prepared and indexed application. The wait and not knowing is ridiculously stressful but can look forward to honeymooning and planning the church wedding in quaint Cranleigh. Good luck to @Portsmouth86 and all others awaiting a decision, I will still be active on here so can answer questions. Cheers

@babyisUS @Justwise

Once your in the UK and towards the end of your 6 months of fp you will need to apply for the UK residents card which will be valid for 5yrs after which you apply for the permanent residents permit.

It costs £65 for each person included in an application, plus you would be required to pay for your biometrics at a cost of £19.20 from certain post offices.

Here's the link for what you need, I hope it helps

I created this account for personal reason, i have been member since 09….

Please i need ur urgent answer, my friend is preparing a sponsored visit for me to US, on his letter he pledge to take responsibility of me and that he will be held accountable for any of my action in the state, the thing here is, he’s married to a white woman, so he’s automatically a citizen… well we’ve paid agent to arrange the necessary documents , we submitted here including international passport, he said his wife have submitted all required documents in U.S, including a surety from his wife friend, because they said his wife must bring a third party to attest that the woman knows what she’s doing… To cut long story short, he said everything is okay now(Between the whole process took almost 3 months) that he’ll be expecting flight itineraries sooner or later from wifey(Also he said after getting everything set, he’ll be traveling to pick me up, we won’t be going same time)… Also, that they called him to come and sign some relevant stuffs as a sponsor in Nigeria US Embassy to pick the documents as well on my absence as none appearance, note, he said his wife sent his number to one man (Yoruba Man )in Nigeria Embassy Abuja that called him up… So the Ultimate Question here is, is it possible for anyone to collect traveling document with stamped international passport from Nigeria US embassy without the actual person presence i brought this up here because i kept wondering the authenticity of this package since he insist i won’t follow him to Abuja Embassy… Please i need a serious contribution from experience person, is it possible?

Please @Justwise,and other forumists, what next am I supposed to do after I have gotten my EEA family permit? It's a multiple entries visa for six months, do I need to apply for another thing when I get to UK? I have read about applying for a Resident Permit or so... what are the things I need to do or documents to provide for this application?
Thanks.

blza:
@Portsmouth86, I see your hubby did apply recently. My husband and I are peeping our application. I am the sponsor here in the UK.

Can I ask you please. How did you prove the sufficient accommodation stuff requirement to show there won't be over crowding.

I read HO wants to see property inspection report. ? The surveyor I contacted said it will cost £185 which sounds ridiculous to me

samhay:
I guess we need to take stock of activities in this thread since January.

Reason

I posted a job advert here abt 2 days ago for tourists. (was later hidden)

Thank God som1 later picked d slot.

But something is not clear to me

Since January

How many DIY (Our Watchword) did we record here dis year?

How many walk in interview did we post this year?

How many people got employed through the walk-in interview we posted this year?

How many people returned home empty-handed without job this year?

It is important we all ask ourselves and see how we fared.

Its saddening when I hear som1 returned bk home without job,when there are some job links for tourists.

I guess somethings should be reviewed as we enter into another year.

I wish all tourists best of luck, but as for me, THE HIDDEN POST WILL BE MY LAST FOR ANY TOURIST.

@justwise you see the level of distraction and wrong messages @worry is posting here and you have not taken corrective action on him.

pillarmaria:
Since seun announced the restriction of pro-biafran topics, I have come to notice the following.
1. Igbos now see seun as a tribalist.
2. Even the mods have mixed feelings about it.
3. Topics no longer hit FP as usuals, thereby making nairaland a bit boring.
4. Yorubas feel much comfortable with the rule.
5. Most biafran apologists have exited Nairaland cos they feel unjustly treated.
6. There has been lesser cases of tribal wars cos the Igbo warlords are nowhere to be found. (its always fun reading/learning from peoples hate speeches).
7. The rule has created more hate than intended. Most igbos feel suen is trying to be on the side of greater Nigerians.
8. Seun might be in regrets now. Since suen has remained silent about the pleas to revisit the rule, whatelse can we think of?
9) above all, the rule is a violation of human right. We have freedom to express ourselves and our believe.
10) Mr Suen, please revisit the rule.

Pattybaby87:

Emrey:
I got a U.S. Student visa without much stress..the consular didn't ask me much questions..he was a very nice man..the most shocking part was that he didn't even bother to go through any of my documents and at the end of the day he called me son and started advising me on what to do when I get to the airport In New York..two weeks later the same consular interviewed my elder brother without much stress and no showing of any documents..but when my bro got to where he was to pick up his passport,he discover that his passport wasn't ready for pick up..and after which he received a mail for him to come back to the embassy..on getting the embassy his visa was denied without any reason. .the man only told him that we have looked into ur application and we find out we can not give u the visa...right now he is confuse as to why his visa was recalled and deny..please a need your suggestions on this ..thanks guys...

Emrey:
Bros you no lie..Na Fake me carry go ooo..but Na only me know say Na fake ..I come get luck say the guy man consuls no bother check any of my document...
