This is not about being smart, this is just you being naive. A single person like you with a good job can get a visa as long as you meet the requirements, you don't need to be married or engaged to be able to get a visa.

It's funny that you fasted and prayed but at the same time lied at the interview and you gave God the glory? Armed robbers go on operation kill and looted people's properties succefully, does it mean that God was behind them?

You gave testimony in church? I guess you also told them how you got the visa.


...for those who will start shouting holier than thou.....I can't remember the last time I went to church but I have conscience.

davidayo123:
gentleman don't make this thing look too serious, Kacchiz made a big mistake by lying about his relationship status to get the visa, Thank GOD he said it on here that he lied about that, if he didn't say that you won't be judging him, Don't tell me you're the HOLY OF HOLIEST of nairaland, don't castigate him like that, Kacchiz has been corrected. even the bible said go and sin no more, you can never tell me that you've never lie in your life. A lie is a lie, be it your place of work, to your gf or wife, at church, at US embassy, take a chill bro.

You don't surprise me

kacchiz:
Those without sin should please cast their stone first cos am sure you will be d first. If u like don't go to church it makes no difference cos it is said do not despise the gathering of the saints. When you get to heaven tell God u have a good conscience dts y u didn't attend church on earth.

I call things be not as though dey were becos I only know what am believing God for.

Oh yes I told dem dt am engaged and you know what I will get that which I have professed.

I hope when you get to USA, u will come back at your stipulated time cos am sure is visitor's visa you have and don't remain dere looking for how to get the green card becos majority going dere are not having mind of coming back and if you are among, den u ain't preaching right buddy.

I don't need a visa to visit US and never visited US so you don't know what you are talking about as you claimed

kacchiz:
Is not about encouraging, I had to apply wisdom which I feel will help me. I had two friends dt was immediately denied as soon as they were asked if dey were married and they said no dt dey were single.

Sensing the VO becoming resistant, I quickly chipped in, so it works for me. My sis delivered in USA n she never for once told them she was going to give birth, rather going for vacation. At the end it what works for you that you do because my elder broda who is a citizen advised I should be smart at the interview and he knew my status as a single may affect me but to God be the glory I got it.

I am made to understand that at POE, is what is filled on your form, that you are asked not your interview questions, and who said I can't get engaged before I travel? That I have the visa now doesn't mean am traveling now. It was just convenient for me to go for the interview now, I have a very good job here in Naija.

Those saying am using God's name, pls u don't know my story, u don't know how I fasted, prayed for this. You don't know where am coming from?

And you know what, I gave a testimony in church. I could have still said I was engage and would also be denied. I saw families, couples been denied but God showed me mercy.

Like I said am a silent member on nairaland and have met great people and also became friends with some people thru dis forum. All their advice one way or the other has really helped me and to them kudos.

This is not about being smart, this is just you being naive. A single person like you with a good job can get a visa as long as you meet the requirements, you don't need to be married or engaged to be able to get a visa.

lovesavvi:
thanks so much sir, may be I will tell her to stay back nd go alone, wat do u tink about dat ?

You are better of going alone because nobody will believe that a woman who is 6 months pregnant is traveling to shop for her wedding the following month.

lovesavvi:
Good Morning house,I nd my fiancee plan to visit a uk around march for our wedding shopping which will come up april nd myfiancee will be 6 month pregnant by then, hope there won't be any problem at d point of entry? Secondly we r goin to stay with my brother who is a uk citizen, how much can I av in my account, am a business man nd I registered my business also I av receipt for all my transactions. Pls justwise and all d guru in d house I need ur fully advice

It could be, it will raise suspicion and the reason for the visit looks weak considering the pregnancy.

carphy:
please I will like to know if I can reapply and appeal at the same time. I was denied uk spousal visa. And what are my chances. I was denied based on 2 points only 1. We didn't put my sponsor a letter of employment stating his salary etc even though we got a letter stating he is employed with them 2.and we only submitted 2 months payslip of his second job. they said we met all other requirements. Just those two evidence was d reason we were denied. Justwise and other gurus, pls advice and appealing and reapplying at d same time.

If you have letter of employment from his second job and 6 months payslips then reapply rather than appeal because appeal takes ages.

You have a very good chance of winning the appeal though or getting it over turned if you appealed with those documents they mentioned.

RIP to the dead. The west should learn to mind their own business and stop creating power vacuums that allow terrorists to thrive in countries like Syria, Iraq, Libya. Innocents peeps donr deserve this

Rubbish! Any power vacuum in Nigeria where we have boko haram? Any power vacuum in Syria where the war is still ranging? Any power vacuum in Kenya where al shabaab killed hundreds in the university and west gate shopping center? Lets stop giving excuses for these evils human beings.

TheZed:
Good morning guys, is it possible for someone that has overstayed his visit to the UK to get an accommodation, have a bank account in the UK?, get bank loans from such banks? ,transfer money to his people through any means?, to own a business and even print a business card?, go to church and even be an active member (a worker)? Am just asking this questions out of curiosity.

Not possible legally because with visiting visa you can't open bank account, rent an accommodation let alone getting a loan. No church will allow you to work for them with visiting visa because they know the consequences.

obipyper:
Pls house how much is the uk visa for 2years?

Visit British embassy website

presido1:
Not only Nigerians boys, illegal from all over the world are on it, you guys should make it a Nigerian thing. It creates more problems for Nigerians.

I'm a Nigerian and can only be concerned about Nigerian issues and not what people from all over the word does.

Get this right...what create more problems for Nigerians are crimes committed by Nigerians and talking about it.

kacchiz:
I tire o...dere is no issue nau, all na scope to help person succeed. The bottom line is I have d visa. Dey don't put it in dere system dt u are engaged. Some people lie dt dey ain't going to give birth jus visit, and they are given only for dem to travel n give birth.

Don't be too sure yet until you pass through POE.

kacchiz:
Been a silent follower, got my visa on Nov 2. It was really God o. Here is how the interrogation went;

VO: Good morning
Me: Morning Sir...happy new week and happy new month
VO: oh thank you...so where are you going in usa
Me: Houston but Katy precisely.
VO: who is there?
Me: my elder brother and his family
VO: y do u wanna go to usa
Me: A long due vacation as I haven't gone on any vac since 2014, haven't seen my broda for awhile and his wife is expecting their 2nd baby and also wanna use the opportunity to do some wedding shopping as am engaged, and I flashed my engagement ring
VO: wow congrats.. So y haven't you visited your broda since?
Me: cos of work cos am usually busy at work.
VO: where do u work?
me: told him my company and I flashed my id card which I wore
VO: okay ur visa has been approved, picked up ur passport bla bla bla...gave me a white paper and circled where I will pick up my passport.

My dear friends, it was God all along. My interview didn't last up to 4mins and I ain't even engaged. I wore my sis engagement ring.

Now my questions is can I apply for Canada study visa wen I get to usa?

God indeed! God encouraged you to lie to the VO that you are engaged? Nigerians and the abuse of the name of God.

patnkwegu:
Hello Everybody,

I have some problem with the UK Boarder.I was stopped at the heathrow last year 2014 airport that I have a Nigerian fake arrival stamp on my passport.So i was deported next day and since then I have been thinking of what to do to reapply..I really need someone that can explain to me if I can apply or what to do before I can apply again.

You can apply again but your chances of getting a U.k visa again is very very remote.

Thank you

Well arranged. Add all your flight ticket to Nigeria and evidence of money or gift sent to your hubby.

chilez:
But with this current banking policy, how does one transfer money to d UK bank account, when he eventually opens one? I hope d qs isnt stupid tho, asked my bank and dey acted clueless.

That is a different case entirely, you don't need any reference letter from Nigerian bank to open an account here. Money transfer is a different case. I guess you need to talk to your bank before leaving for the UK

coogar:
you are correct, it's a transaction.
to be honest, it's even the naija boys that desperately seek out these white chics.

Exactly! This is no brainer. Nigerian boys go hunting for these girls especially those above chubby level and promise them love and money in exchange for spouse visa, it's nothing new here.

Akposkool:
I knew she would be fat and ugly. These our guys been selling their sef for europe visa. You need to see how these obessed white chicks take advantage of our young men all in the name of visa
Very soon this country will be better and all these oyinbo chimpanzees will marry their fathers. Help me say amin

Who are you deceiving? Nigeria men want visa and she wants their money simply! Stop this silly 2faced attitude.

You are about to waste that flight ticket money to SA because your friend can't get you a visa that will allow you to work legally in SA. He is just deceiving you

Oreskid:
@ Rury29, nope, since she didn't stay more than six months

Not really, you are still expected to stick to your stated number of days in declared in your application form. 6 months visa does not mean you should stay 6 months in one visit

Rury29:
Hi guys!

I have a question and I hope that someone can help me.

As far as you know, how strict UK Home Office is when someone stays in the UK longer than declared in the Visa Application Form?
Basically, my wife is going to apply for a Tier 2 Dependant Visa, but on the last Visa she had (Standard Visitor) she declared she would have stayed for 5 days, but instead she stayed in the UK for a month.
Do you think UK Home Office could make any problems beacuse of this?

Thanks a lot!

Yes it will if spotted and it will cast doubt on her next application, nothing wrong in staying extra 2-3 days but 3wks more will call for questioning.

Portsmouth86:
im sure appeals can take 6-9 months ( i had to appeal my ex husbands in November 2008 went to the tribunal in Twickenham after marrying in dec 2007) so was another year before he was granted the visa, im not sure if its the same process but i am aware it takes bwtween the time frame i stated.

i hope this helps, and keep fighting you will get there and the wait will be worth it in the end

Nothing much have changed

Davdar:
Hello Justwise

I have lodge the spouse refusal appeal for my husband here in the UK and the tribunal have taken the fee of £140 last two weeks. Please how long does it take to hear back from them if the ECO will overturn the decision or it will go to court.

Thank You

Anyone been through appeal process can help

There is no time scale but it will be before the hearing date.

yjb85:
Hi @justwise

please i am a little bit confused:

1. the online application form the part where they ask family details is it my hubby details i will fill there or mine. (hubby is my sponsor)

2. the financial requirement from, the part 4 am i suppose to answer it since hubby is not exempted from 18,600pounds


Thank you for your quick response.

1. follow the question strictly, if they are asking for your hubby's details then put his details only.

2. If he is exempted then put N/A or write exempted

Oracles:
Hello house, Is it necessary to get a reference from one's bank here in Nigeria in order to open a bank account in the UK?

No.

Abiso:
I am staying with my. uncle

Ok, such delay happens when there is one or two things about your application that doesn't seem right, so they have to investigate more.

Abiso:
Tourist visa 6months and I applied myself

If all your documents are genuine then you got nothing to worry about.

Are going to visit somebody in the UK or you booked hotel accommodation?

So if its only one payment why then do you have to write the same amount 2x? One for the husband and the same amount for the wife? Are they not traveling together and using one hotel room?

Abiso:
I am a first time poster and I have tried to read post on delay decision making process but could not get any.
pls @all, I submitted my application at vi teleperformance on the 19 Oct and I received 2 mails from Sheffield in UK. 1st mail says my application has been received and under process but the second mail which i received last week says.....
Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward and we will be unable to decide your application within our customer service targets. We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make a decision as soon as possible.
We will write to you again if there is any change to this. Please do not attend the Visa Application Centre until you have been advised that your application has been decided and that your passport is ready for collection.
Kind Regards,
Sheffield Visa Section.

Till date no mails has been received and I am worried cus my travelling date is 26 Nov and I don't know what is happening pls house, wat does the mail signifies. thanks

What sort of visa did you apply for?

@All

..for those who are quick to send PM when they see an ad for cheap accommodation please be careful, you will be traveling to US with a lot of money and more likely to be targeted, consider your own security and that of your unborn baby when considering sharing an accommodation with that stranger you met online.
