Polygamy not acceptable in the US

At this moment, I need help

What I'm about to say is my personal opinion and in no way reflects the stance of the U.S. Government.

You don't need an attorney. Those guys don't care if you get your visas; they just want your money. We can talk you through the process right here on Nairaland. Right, Nairalanders?

I have been a silent reader on this forum. Kindly advice me on my present situation p
I was married in my home country nigeria, but haven't seen or heard from my wife for years since I arrived the US on a tourist visa 5 years ago. I'm not even sure how to reach her. We never bothered to do the divorce papers. I came to the U.S. and married a U.S. citizen, and we submitted the adjustment of status paperwork for me. But at the interview, the officer sent us away with a letter saying I needed to provide proof that my first marriage ended in divorce, and he also mentioned something about "marriage fraud." But I love my U.S. wife; this isn't a fraud, I just figured my old marriage was over. What's going on?pls what can I do ?

H everyone. I came across this forum today after submitting my uk application two days ago and am impressed by the way questions are been answered on this forum.
I, my sister, her husband and my brother submitted our application together. We applied for a tourist visa (accompanying my sister to uk for her graduation.) we submitted all the necessary document plus a written letter from the school inviting us for the graduation ceremony.
My sister (graduant), her husband & my self have a virgin passport, while my brother (sponsoring me) have been to Germany, & Israel. I submitted my bank statement (I operate a small unregistered biz with a Active account (total credit of about of 2.4million from Dec to June) & total balance of 375k before print out. Also attached Are all the necessary document to support money flow in my account. I have a balance of 375,000 in my Account supported wit my brother's 2.7m statement. My sister and husband are medical doctors and paying for individual cost. We intend to spend 5days in the uk, my brother will be paying for my total cost of 400k (accommodation, flight, & feeding) The question is we were all interviewed via a webcam. I was not able to give the name of the hotel we booked cos my brother did the booking. We also said we are going for graduation & didn't give any other reason except graduation. I just read in this forum that one need to mention other tourist attraction to visit. Would this affect our application and the fact that 3 of us plus the graduant have a virgin passport? Please I need your honest reply. Thank you!

I can't wait to be in UK in 2 weeks time. Many thanks to Justwise for guiding me during the application. I am a first timer. Can I go with some Elubo and Egusi for friends over there.

Calling him clueless isn't an insult

I feel the guy is making a point. He's exaggerating though. There was a period on this thread where people were talking a lot about Coventry, so he was just wondering what's the hype.

crazydove:
I was just wondering why he's after low ranked schools in the uk.I guess he was checking for their fees

tensazangetsu:
How many japanese students have you met at coventry or other low ranked UK schools. And china has like 5 schools in the top 100. check again

tensazangetsu:
lol I was in Nigeria before moving over there, was doing mechanical engineering in unilag. Left that to do marine engineering. There are just two standard maritime schools recognised by IMO in africa, ghana and egypt. Egypt is too far so I had to settle with ghana, and you believe most nigerians who schools in ghana go there cause of the easy requirements and the standard is poo. Well I can only speak for myself.

tensazangetsu:
it doesn't really matter in this context and besides my school isn't a conventional university they offer only maritime courses. I had my reasons for going there and besides when I gained admission I was just 16 still young and naive, didn't know much but if I knew then what I know now I probably wouldn't be schooling in ghana.

PweedyB:
Pls is it advisable to print the Bank statement before I get an appointment from the visa office or I wait till I get an appointment? Due to print on monday.Cc Justwise, spikesC

tensazangetsu:
lol am in level 300 one more year to go but hoping to do my masters in a highly ranked school though especially asia. I can provide a link to the top 100 in the world and then you can see how much each cost but that will derail the thread.

Thank you justwise. Let me be clearer...
I received a 50% scholarship from the university of Nottingham and then my department in the same school gave me a £4250 bursary so instead of paying £22850 I am just going to pay £7025 for tuition fees. I have a letter for the scholarship with the whole sponsor code and all. I was also sent the bursary letter. According to them, they are also going to include it in my CAS.

I hope I have explained better. So now please answer my previous questions. Thank you.

Petitediva14:
Good morning everyone, I am sure my questions might be annoying but I need to understand what I am doing.
I have a 50% scholarship and a bursary from my uni for my tuition fee. I also have money in my account and would also be submitting my mother's bank account statement.
My questions are
1. Am i a tier 4 sponsored student? Because of the scholarship and bursary...
2. There is a section that says do you have money in your name? Yes or no. According to what I read if I have money in my account or have a scholarship the answer should be yes. If the money is in my parent's name it should be no. So which one do I select? With the scholarship, bursary and my own money I have over 3/4 of the required funds.
Thank you for taking the time to answer.

Dude just Google it most of the schools you guys are mentioning here are not even ranked among the top 500 globally and you guys pay so much. why not consider other countries. Asia has a lot of highly ranked schools and it seems no one goes there same with other European countries. am sure 90 percent of the people in these schools mentioned are nigerians and other foolish africans.

tensazangetsu:
Please i didn't insult anyone. I would like for you to show me in my previous post where I did and I will apologise to the person.

tensazangetsu:
Yes highly ranked and cheap but standard of living in those cities where the schools are situated might be high I know of university of tokyo and Hong Kong university of science and technology both are in the top 30 and are cheap. cheaper than the UK but I don't know about the standard of living and tokyo and Hong Kong will research on that some other time.

tensazangetsu:
sorry it might be exaggerated but one thing I have noticed about we nigerians is that in a crave to school abroad we don't do proper research I school in ghana and there are so many illegal one block universities there and most of them in this schools are nigerians this guy's pay as much as 500k a session to school in a school not even recognised by the ghanian government. I have followed this thread from the first page and have Googled most of the schools mentioned here and none is highly ranked globally and look at the outrageous fees plus no post work visa. you finish and you come to look for a job like a mad man in Nigeria. there are well highly ranked cheap schools in other countries why can't people research on them. The importance of ranking cannot be overemphasised.

Good evening nairalanders. Please I need clarification and guidance from anyone in the house. I want to visit UK by September this year for my brother's convocation and he wants me to come with our mother. He wants to sponsor our mum, but I will be sponsoring myself. What I really want clarification on is how to go about the submission of documents: do I submit all our documents together in one file with my passport and hers included since we want to travel together, or we need to submit separately? He has already stated that he needs to send only one invitation letter explaining the fact that he will sponsor her and provide accomodation and feeding only for me. Meaning I will take care of other expenses. Please I need to know if I am on the right track. Thanks

I pleaded with you to take your money back when i haveit, you refused.
All schools refund money on occasion whereby the applicant has been denied visa.
And on a special occasion, which i can try to apply for, i told you the school can not refund ure money this morning as you are asking,
The school is an organisation and so demands an application stating reasons for refund which after i apply, it will take at least a week to get your refund because
is not there fault but urs.
so u have to wait and follow the normal procedure which i will make open to the house too.

surethings:
Justwise I just send him my account details this is what I got from him

If you need ure money..u apply for school refund and is refunded on one condition which is if ure denied visa
