It wasn't bad. Much improved.

U need apply as if u are applying for new passport.

If u find it difficult to pay, to u can go there with ur card and pay at the embassy. Take a prepaid envelope and a postal order so u won't be going back and forth.

U shud be in and out within 90 mins.

Ok thanks. the last time i was there was in 2010 and got it within 3 weeks, though hectic but things were a bit better than i read online before going.

bebe2:
No they don't. I had to go to London.

Hmmm...mine expired last week and I'm not even ready to face Nigerian embassy in London.

How was your experience?

thababe:
I'm still here o..just saying I wont be asking questions needing advice for myself but ready to advise others.

Oh cool!

port1976:
Gents and ladies,

I have a brother that was banned for 10years in 2010 for not disclosing his previous application and passport with option of apapeal ( he was denied student visa in 2006 for not provoiding details. That was before E-paasport). He is now in good shape (good job and family),finacially comfortable with extensive travel experiences. The question is can he re apply for the UK Visa? Please note that the ban will expire in 2019.

Sadly that stands, he should have appealed when given the opportunity.

Kimoni:
Bebe2/Justwise, pls were you able to get any info about the Manchester office? Do they handle passport issuance and renewals?

Thnks

No I haven't heard anything about it again

strictlynaija:
Hello, I need ur help on how to get a job in UK (applying from Nigeria). I graduated last year with a nice grade but Naija has not been too funny in terms of securing a good job. My uncle told me the story of someone who applied to a UK company from Nigeria and he was employed with d company taking care of all travel expense. I also want to try this path but I really don't know what it takes to get a job in UK. if you have any useful information concerning this, please share.
God bless

Help yourself and read it here and see if you meet the requirement for any work visa listed here https://www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration/work-visas

thababe:
Justwise well done! Glad to see the thread is going strong. My old people like Fabulousmum, uchetobiband co are all off the thread and the only familiar name here is Phema. I've hung up my boots by Gods grace so no plans to be back here for advice but will lurk from time to time incase I can be of help to anyone.God bless

That is not nice....why? We still need experienced people like you here

No respect from both of you, you really couldn't wait any longer?

Hello VisaOfficer I need an advice/views about what am about to post here. I applied for American student visa in 2002. Before then I had attend and written a SAT exams in Lagos. Its a company that we paid to then to write the exams . On the day of my interview in Abuja. I was asked every document which I presented until the lady asked me if I wrote SAT I said yes. She demanded for it and I presented it to her. After a close look at it she flared up that its fake and showed a colleague of hers and he confirmed its fake. She said she ain't gonna allow me enter her country and stamped my passport after inputting some stuff to her computer. Its been years since that happened. I already finished my bsc here in Nigeria and my Msc is in view presently. I have a paid employment and am relatively doing well. The issue now is was I banned? If I go to apply for a visa again will the last incidence crop up? I lost the last passport to fire and intend to go do anothe. Pls what's your candid take on this. Kind regards.

You asked this same question last Sept 2014 and VO gave you this reply >>

abujaniv:
We cannot comment on a specific case in this forum. The only way to know if you are permanently ineligible is to apply again and ask the consular officer at your interview. You should be as straightforward as you can during your interview about your past refusal if you are asked about it.
This is a good reminder to all of the younger readers on Nairaland that what happens at one visa interview can have a long impact. Make sure that you always bring valid documents to your visa interviews because while in your current circumstances you might not qualify for a visa, you might be qualified in the future and will not want to be found ineligible based on something that happened in your youth.

Why have you not taken this ^^advice from the VO?

akereconfi:
In the Uni now but I have friends that just came in, they are in the college atm

They should start hunting for part time job now...else the bills and rents will start accumulating

IamZinah:



Yes

bro keep to one ID now....makes you look dodgy when you keep using both to answer the same question.

IamZinah:
Yea, my friends were issued 20 when we renewed but mine was 10. Don't know why though

If you are in university now then its 20hrs a week, you can always email or call UKBA for correction.

akereconfi:
I know, but it's affecting majority of my colleagues in Hungary. They can't work there, most of them are have been ejected from their rented apartment and are living with their friends. They depend solely on their parents back home for survival. We in the UK, we can work but others can't.

I was issued with 10 hours working permit instead of 20 hours, although I work. But sincerely my exams are just few weeks from now and I need to put in more effort to get my desired grades

I thought you are studying in an university and not college any more?

IamZinah = akereconfi ?

tayotp:
Hello justwise

Though u didn't answer me the other time,I
Will still greet you cos u are doing a great job.

Am I going to upload d docs on the UK site?I also see somtin like getting an appointment date.

The reason am asking is am thinking of paying today cos am still waiting for one document.

Thank you

Yes you have to upload all your documents online, submit, make payment and get your appointment date THEN printout the same form you submitted online, sign it and attach the same set of documents you submitted online and take them along for physical submission on your appointment day.

Ibfred:
For some it's all of the above while the rest has to do with rent, Bills and feeding

Now that is not funny especially if you are not allowed to work or allowed to work only 10hrs a week

IamZinah:
They have paid mine but haven't paid the my colleagues in other schools.

Students in Czech Republic had their studies terminated yesterday. If you want proof, I can tender them

Oh good then look for part time job while you wait for the payment.

You will survive on part time job pretty well, you can fit in 20hrs a week with your studies easily. Summer holiday is just a month away and you can work full time...i know its not easy but you wouldn't want to get depressed in the UK.

Nihilist:
lol

Again you never ready chop. You need to fix your mentality. You don't sound like you were ever hungry. Otherwise when hunger waya you, and landlord corner you, then you will know that the hustle is real.

I worked fulltime during my final year at Uni...and I knew people then who worked 2 jobs and still finished with 1st class and 2:1.

Talk is cheap.

IamZinah:
My Tuition is 12,000 pounds.

Tell me how a student can raise that alone, and also save for accommodation, feeding and transport, from taking part time jobs.



You just exposed yourself that you know NOTHING about what you were saying.


Use google and show me any part time job that pays up to 12k pounds annually or you want them to start illegal and shady business so they get into problem with the immigration and police.

Have they paid your fees or are you talking about fees, rent, bills and feeding?

@All

Please don't derail this thread, stick to the topic.

Thank you.

xmasgift:
Dear @Vicjustice and @justwise , could you pls advice on below, I have a 6mth multiple entry UK visa which I have used once and is valid till May. I plan on going to the UK for summer in June/July but by then, the visa would have expired. Do you think I could go ahead to apply for the 2 yrs UK visa now or do I wait until this visa expires in May?
Tks.

If I were you I will apply after the expiration of the current visa or apply few days before it expires

MsSbee:
Thanks and Godbless you well understood. I knew it the moment my mail didn't deliver but I trust my fellow nairalanders always willing to help.

No worries, good that you were proactive.

Pure scam, many victims have started similar thread in the past.

Very soon one of their agents will come here to defend their fraudulent business

allen0000:
I have change less than the date I filled the form and accepted. thanks but will still call the US help desk

Play around with e.g 1/2/0000 or 1-2-0000 system, also read the instruction closely to see if the month comes before the day....like 04/02/15 rather than 02/04/15

chmod777:
Better stay. It is a thing of choice. When u come u will see u are 45yrs behind.came back and started working in good place in naija but I saw my students 4yrs below my at university doing far better than imaginable. The elite here do not regard those who leave overseas as anything but hungry people

..elite? Who are the Nigerian elites? those who traveled are hungry people? Jokers

Patience not in the list?

agarawu23:
good advise . well is a cooked deal cos I av my student id card so nothing to be scared abt dats how we roll it here.

You will be in shock when they get you, you don't seems to know a lot.

willwin2:

kazan:
It seems you did not include any documents to show that you're in an existing relationship. Things like emails, telephone call records, skype logs, chat message records, photographs taken BEFORE the wedding, photographs of the wedding itself and photographs taken AFTER the wedding, birthda cards, etc are used to show that your relationship is genuine and not an arranged marriage for the purpose of Immigration.
These documents will help your appeal *as long as they are dated before you submitted your application*
cheers

This post ^^ said all i would have said

agarawu23:
did I mentioned the country I reside? stop being forward. I am not in the US OK?

Ok...I see, since you are not even a student there....don't be in a hurry to visit Nigeria...you 'might' not be allowed into that country.

abbey621:
Sure you do, marry a citizen, you get green card within 6 to 8 months.

That is not route he claimed he went through

agarawu23:
hahahaha are you living here with me? or u know the rules and regulations of this country ni
school documents, house contract documents, evidence of fund etc. don't argue ppl if you don't know how dey made things

Bro ask somebody close to you to help you explain the type of visa you have, it's not green card, you don't get green card under 2 years in US.
