Emm, please can I ask a question?

No.

derbylicious:
Lmfao..ok this cracked me up! Lolz
You are agent 46!!!

Anyway,now I have an idea on what to do...lol

Meanwhile, Justwise et al...had my interview on Friday...want to know if it's necessary to activate Internet banking (to open an account there and transfer) or just handle monetary issues with a master card(when the hard bills run out)

Please do if you can it will save you a lot of problem but...check the exchange rate before you start transferring. Notwithstanding...its a good idea.

I'm beating myself up now for not opening back account in Nigeria the last time i visited because sending money home through western union or bank is an expensive exercise

Petitediva14:
Me too o. I have never used them ever.

Exactly!. Safer to deal directly with the airline, makes refund and cancellation a lot easier and ticket is cheaper.

dat1960chikala:

FrontPageLawyer:
@Justiwise can he be sponsored as an adult knowing fully well the purpose of travel is for tourism?

It depends on who is sponsoring him and his relation to that person. If his host is paying for everything and he can proof that they are related with evidence then it increases his chances.

ezychris:
Thank you for your response.
I'm single and have no child. I'm currently working as an instructor in a school of health technology where I'm being paid 22k monthly.

The only problem you have now is to prove your relationship with that family friend inviting you, financial you wil be ok because you are only going to be spending money on ticket while accommodation and feeding is taken care of by your host.

Mubarak39:
Then how can someone go about paying for his accommodation, i thought the maximum limit of ATM transaction is $300? it's not even up to £200 I guess

That is a day limit, you can withdraw the money in 2 days or go straight to your bank to withdraw above £300

el2015:
A BIG thank you to you all.

If I can be scolded on a faceless forum, I wonder how it'll be in the real world.

She didn't come up with the idea, I did thinking it was best she's far away from me even though I'll take responsibility for the child. But no point trying migrate illegally.

I've decided to shelve the American Plan. She'll give birth here in Nigeria. she can always apply for visa after childbirth if she so wish.

Like you all said which I agree 100%. She doesn't deserve the privilege my wife never enjoyed.

I'm done. Will have to delete this account and move on.

It's good to be on Nairaland

With this post we have come to the end of this discussion.

Please let's move on.

el2015:
Thank you Chairman.

I accept the blame. Won't even try to shift it to anyone. Will bear all the consequences. I feel ashamed anyway.

Well what is done is done...good luck as you sort things out

el2015:
Though not an excuse to act foolishly. But for us s....x is once in 4 months. Sad

Condom is very expensive though $30K would have got you a lot + peace of mind

eljaye:
I just realized that wakanow swindled me when I booked my flight. A word of advise to impending student travellers- 'never use agents/agencies, go to the respective airlines where available'!

I guess am so mad, sorry for the rant!

I have always wondered why people use agent or agency for flight booking while the airline website is there. Agent can't sell you ticket cheaper than the airline

pet01:
Thanks, but can I opt out at any month after signing the contract?

Yes you can but you have to inform him in advance that you will be moving out.

Ishilove:
Thank you for thanking me for thanking you

now you are derailing our thread go back to romance section

Ishilove:
Thank you for keeping this section sane

Thank you for thanking me

obyas2:
hello justwise!
I have been following the group since. I need u to clear me on this.I have admission to study in University of Birmingham with a CAS no, but my sponsor is my mum younger brother, he is not bearing the same surname with me.
I am meant to summit my application on Monday next week, what do you advise I do since am having a sponsor with a different surname.
Also i have been writing to the school to get an extension letter from them since i might not make it to the resumption date which is 21st of this month.
Please advise me.
Thanks

You are asking this question too late as you have taken the wrong step already. So good luck with the application, who knows....

CassieV:
Hello everyone, I'm doing my youth service now and I'll finish next year April. I want to do a post graduate diploma in education in UK, I need suggestions for schools I could apply, accommodation, Visa process, work too while I school. I have a BSc in Statistics, will I be able to get a job that'll pay my fees? How do I go about it all? Please I need your advice...

You can't, don't even gamble on that.

ebakwest:
Hello house, saying thanks to everyone here... you guys have been helpful... JustWise and Co. Got my visa today from Abuja VAC and currently at the airport back to lag. I pray that the rest that are expecting will be favoured in Jesus name.

Congratulations!

pet01:
Pls house, I want to know from people here who rented private accommodation whether they sign contract for the whole year or by installments.

#

You can sign 6 or 12 months tenancy agreement contract, the landlord will ask for a deposit and one month rent for a start then your rent will be paid monthly

Annalise:
lol ok sir. Thanks. I honestly don't know how much she has in it. I'll call to ask. The state government owe them about 2 months. Before then, payment was regular. Recently also, I noticed she had significant expenses from that account. she believes she can take 2 different bank statements there but I doubt it.

She is right.

greeners222:
@Justwise please I need your response on this matter. Is it a must I have a Valid US visa on passport before I can convince the VO on this Canadian Visa cos it seems most people give has this US Visa of a thing. Please response

No it's not, many got Canadian visa without having US visa on their passports

Annalise:
hmn. Thank you. I don't think the amount in the salary account is up to that. Even if it is there could be some irregularities within the last 6 months. How low can the balance get?

Exactly! So why not present the account as it's rather than asking how much you need to have? I said 10m obviously to emphasis that it doesn't matter if you have 10 or 100m in your account what matters is the source of that money. Since she is a pensioner her income is fixed.

Annalise:
about 300k comes in as pension every month. She has a pharmacy too. Which of the accounts should she use? How much should be in the account?

Her pension account.

How much should be in her account? 10M naira.

profojah:
GboyegaD.. Abeg remove selfish from that your post.. If by what we i did you called selfish, I can tell you almost 50 people who are more selfish on this thread..

You and Kobe79 are derailing this thread unnecessarily, pages after pages of irrelevant discussions.

Please enough.

GboyegaD Is right.

chiinj:
Thank you so much for your help, guys. I didn't even have to ask a lot of questions. This thread (from part 1 - now) is so informative. A big thank you to justwise for starting it.

I can't stress the importance of telling the truth with regards to visa refusals when applying for a visa.
I applied on the 26th of August, had my interview on the 28th, got my decision and collection mail on Tuesday and I got my visa on Wednesday.
I applied at Abuja VAC.

All the best to everyone hoping for a positive reply. You all will get it by God's grace.

Congratulations!

Annalise:
Hello and thank you. I went back many pages and could not find the question that applies to me. I had many options for source of employment and had to choose only one. She told me to pick retired from the list. I want to know the average amount that needs to be running in the account. What if sometime in July it went low to about 200k etc.

That doesn't matter anymore because as a retired person you don't expect an active account activities apart from her pension money coming in. All the financial burden concerning the trip will fall on you. There is no point trying to move money into her account that you can't explain the source.

Poetchi:
Much appreciated Justwise. I would exempt him from our application.

No worries.

Poetchi:
Hmmm, Thanks for the prompt response JustWise. Just a bit of background, he has been to the UAE and returned before visa expiration. Does that make any difference?

It doesn't.

He has to qualify on his own merit without your input.

You can't take an adult along to a foreign trip like a child.

Poetchi:
Hi people,

Pls I need a bit of guidance.

I am planning to travel to Canada with my family (wife, son, and sister) in December. We all have valid USA visa's and have been to the UK together. I also plan to include my bro-in-law in this trip so as to give him some exposure. He is working (though very meagre salary, not up to 50k per month), 30 yrs of age but he does not have a US visa. My wife and I would be co-sponsoring this trip for everyone.

Now, my question is this? Without a valid US visa and no statement of Account, what are my brother-in-law's chances?
Need your urgent and expert advice pls.

Close to zero.

amakaffy:

kelvdim:
Good morning house,what is the process of canceling UK student visa

Call or email the embassy with your details and visa number

Annalise:
Hi, my mum is coming for my graduation in November. I have filled and submitted the form and paid for an appointment. I want to know how far back her bank statement should be and how much. I stay in a house with 2 ladies. I put it on the form she'd stay with me. Do I still need to book a hotel? I want to know all other documents she should include to submit at the application centre. It's Abuja.

- Who does your mum do? Employed or running her own business?

- 6 months bank statement is a standard

- book hotel for her since you are living in a shared accommodation.

- many questions you asked has been answered here over and over again
