erm erm.... E be like say my guy have agreed to pay. I've not been following up on this lately because, there have been upto 4 diff. Threads created for this, and each thread have been soaring. I mean you'll log out to have a drink, before you get back, there'll be more than 10pages to read again. The thing tire me.

From my own observations, coogar is guilty. I just dont want him to go to jail, thats why i have adviced him to pay. I cant condemn him for what he did, afterall , only greedy people gets scammed. And majority nigerians in diaspora are involved in one shady business or another as their means of survival. A nigga gotto to do what he gotto do to survive. Majority of the men crucifying him over this issue are not clean as well. But these women cheap sha..

Emaprince:
affinity? Hehe ask anybody that frequents the rapsection. Coogar have never been my closest pal. If i respect any body there, they are Ibime and kr0ne. It is very clear! I can dig up links where i had my own share of insults from coogar. I mean where he insulted my parents, my future and evrything i cherish. But then, i do not take online beef seriously. I have adviced coogar to pay and free himself from this. I even said it here that he's guilty.
Forget coogar's behaviour online. Someone said offline, he's begging. He might have admitted but will act like he didnt when he comes online.

naijababe:
What are you talking about? That's for fools like you and I na

Emaprince:
He that is alive, has the chance to change tomorrow. A nigga still gotto do what he gotto do to see the next day.

Buncha hypocrites be gathered up in this thread throwing stones. Which one of y'all has no dirt?

People should think out of the box and reason why the world powers created borders in the first place. Borders are unnatural and is a form of global apertheid. Just check this link below to enlighten yourself and free yourself from the mainstream institutionalization.

Your old passport has been cancelled without prejudiced, it is no longer valid for travel.

Contact DIBP ASAP to transfer your visa to the new passport.

Ifeco1:
Hello E- Fam.
I need your advice on what to do on this situation.
I applied for a new passport and I got it the next day as my old passport will expire in May, 2016 (6 months from now). The issue now is I got my visa grant with my old passport while the new passport has a different number. Now, I have both passport with me but the the pages left on my old passport have been cancelled. The immigration officer said I can't hold 2 passports so he cancelled all the pages left in the old passport but I still have the two with me. Fam I hope I won't have any problem with all these changes at the point of entry and do I need to contact DIBP office in Pretoria. Pls I need y'all response. 2posh, Eric, Chi05, futuredon etc

Then we should join forces to reduce whatever percentage of them on nairaland. Justwise was busy doing a great job on travel section, despite not being popular cos most members are like Gbenga always here to scam people. I dont care the type of people fighting a scammer, that's inconsequential. What is paramount is to get a scammer outta here. The vessel is not as important as the end product. Get it?

@justwise you absolutely right, and I really appreciate your contribution, when I was in the uni we had a discussion about factors that are mitigating against development in Africa and we concluded that there was low trade among African countries, the world is not a safe place, but my argument buttress on the fact that the third world countries do not receive the same cooperation economically, politically and technologically.

MumTee:
Hello all, pls I have a question. I know that one can have a Dr's correspondence and port to another Doc.
Now, assume u use Dr X correspondence for visa interview and u now want to present Dr Y correspondence @ POE, hope d CBP officer won't flag it, as in won't they see in their system that Dr X is where u said u want to go? Esp if one is slightly over the weeks old Dr X would accept according to his correspondence.

I have an untold story about accommodation in Sugar land....my advice is dat NL mother's shd be careful abt option of accommodation.

djlameco:
The advance countries visa policy is just a rip off, especially USA and UK the so called global powers are in forerunner of this exploitative tendency.
China won't even collect money from you until you are issued a visa, USA visa fees is also exorbitant at almost 40k, so so so sad that this foreign countries sees third world countries as a market to generate money from visa applications.

I continue to confirm and agree to the fact that the Continued unwarranted restrictions of third world countries is a form of discrimination and segregation which is used as a means of controlling third world countries psychologically.

If Britain, USA, and most EU countries open their boarders today for third world countries, I won't believe every youth will pack their bags and baggages to live there forever when they know they can enter and exit at anytime.

But the continued restriction makes the place so desirable, to the extent when some minority of people enter the country legally or illegally they don't want to live.

Visa policy system protects countries national boarders but it also has lots of political,economical,technological and psychological undertone.

Do u agree with this assertion?

Don't forget I understand quite alright the need for nations to protect and pursue there national interest,pride and prestige. And some people will insist we develop our economy too but the truth is that we would achieve greater and faster development when there is equality and openness amongst the have and the have not.
Thank u ,leave your comment, and no attack on my personality I am entitled to my own opinion, you have the right to agree or disagree....

bahf:
My main concern now is not the initial denial, but the delayed response from the second application we made for him.

its taken longer than the 5 working days (its 9 working days gone already) for priority processing and i haven't even gotten any notification that it has been received by the UK Visas and immigration. Tickets have been purchased for next week.

When we made the first application which was not priority, we got our visas within 10 working days.

FrontPageLawyer:
@Justwise, please which medical records do they refer to?

bahf:
@Justwise

please i need help/advise

I applied for UK visa with my spouse and two children to attend my graduation. we were all given visas with the exception of my son (aged 4)who was refused a visa (He has traveled to the UK before oo). His sibling aged 6 months was given visa. we included birth certificates and all necessary documentation. In view of the graduation date, we applied for him again and paid for priority processing which is supposed to take 5 working days. however it is 9 working days now and we are yet to get any response.

More worrisome is the fact that last notification i got, which was the day after we applied was "Your UK visa application has now been sent to UK Visas & Immigration for processing". i haven't gotten any other notification, i even went to the VI center to check whether it was ready and i just didn't get any notification, to no avail.

My travel date is in a few days time and i have bought our tickets.

What can i do?

Please help me.

This was the reason given (verbatim) for the visa refusal

I have refused your application for a visit visa beavsue i am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of paragraphs 4.2(a), (b) and (e) and 4.11 of Appendix V: Immigration rules for visitors because
In consideraing your application, i am mindful of your age and also aware that the UK border agency has a duty of care for child welfare under section 55 of Borders citizenship and immigration rAct. it is therefore imperative i be fully satisfied with your reception and care arrangements in the UK for you. i also need to be fully satisfied that your welfare needs are met once the child arrives in the UK. in deciding to refuse your application, i have noted the following:

you are proposing to visit the United Kingdom with your father and mother. i note that no original birth certificate has been submitted for you,medical records,family pictures or school reports to confirm relationship

i am therefore not satisfied that you meet all the requirements of paragraphs 4.2(a), (b) and (e) and 4.11 of Appendix V:

Honestly I dont know what to say here cos i dont remember hiw many times i wemt or even the dates. I remember we dont pay for consultation but in england I paid for medication. 5.

GeneralShepherd:
Please mark the main phrase in his post, a few years ago. Post 2012, securing a job in the UK for an international students has increased in difficulty.

I rest my case. And yes, studying in the UK gave me access to the Australian labour market, imagine what studying in Australia itself has to offer.

spacyzuma:
I've been occasionally checking out this thread for months, but avoid commenting.

I'd like to contribute my small opinions.

I was a Nigerian student in UK a few years ago. I was here on a full PG scholarship, and a good one. They paid on time, rarely delayed, and the amount was enough for me to not work.

I also got a good job and started work immediately I finished my degree. I have friends, who got their PG degrees before and after me, that also found work in UK too. In fact, it was through the advice of one of the older guys that I was able to get my job.

I'm willing to offer any assistance and answer questions that anyone may wish to personally ask.

Cheers.

GeneralShepherd:
Please, unless you are on scholarship, do not come and study in the UK. The government in the UK do not like international students and it is virtually impossible to get a job when you graduate.

For me the essence of international education is to gain some international working experience before you return to your home country.

Please go and study in Canada, Australia or New Zealand. I am saying this from experience

Australia is so accommodating that an engineering graduate from the UK is eligible to apply for an 18 month temporary graduate work permit.

DisGuy:
Congrats in advance...
Would you say your UK degree played a part in securing a 'better' job or it wasnt/hasnt been an essential part of your applications?

claremont:
Actually, GeneralShepherd is right, and it's not fair that he is being insulted for expressing his opinion in a public forum. I also share the same opinion as well, and I think this issue should be continuously flogged regardless of how many times it has been flogged in the past. The positives and the negatives of living and working in the diaspora should be spoken about, and then people should be allowed to make their own informed decisions. These views do not constitute thread derailment, it fits into the key objectives of this thread i.e. giving advice to intending immigrants on how good or bad living in the diaspora is.

dreykye:
@justwise Trust u r doing great, I currently hold a UK 5 Years General visitor visa and will like to apply for a Student Visa (Masters ), I will like to know if my current visa will be cancelled when i get the new student visa.

Thanks & Regards

GeneralShepherd:
It's not an anti UK campaign, I love the UK but the immigration laws are not in favour of international students and it is consistent with conservative policies over the years.

So please why not say it as it is or at least don't try and paint me as anti UK. Biko I take God beg you
