Pls my frnd is confused here...I knw this is a wrng place to channel my question buh I believe I will get a positive answer. He just got a permanent resident visa to canada buh he is not willing to travel because of his cool job here in naija. D visa came when he is doin well here at work. He still single too and age is no longer on my side. What do I advise him?

drumma:
so like i was saying before the ever annoying @justwise closed my thread.... please reasonable people shod advise on details below.


Hello friends,

Here I am again doing my favourite thing of all.... ''finding out''

I am planning a 1 week trip to south africa in about a week or two, this trip was originally supposed to be embarked upon by myself and my colleague so I didn't think there would be any reason for this in the first place until I got caught up in business and she had to go alone during the wallah break.

Going to SA alone would probably be boring.... in fact I have a feeling I will fall sick if i can't at least have fun there reason being that I work 7days a week in Nigeria and practically on my system 20hrs a day trying to sort our clients and all..... thankfully majority of them are out of the country and here is my chance to at least unwind and help my rigid self experience a new vibe.....

I would love to make some resident friends for my one week stay though I'm yet to finalise if i'll wanna stay in jo'burg or cape town...


Any advise would be appreciated.


Ciao

Thank you.

Hello Everyone,

I have a pressing concern i'd need clarification on!

I want to apply for UK Family Visitor Visa for the first time and I have a job i earn about N200,000 monthly. I have a good Financial Statement the past few years. Some deposits were made from friends in my cooperative group into my other accounts summing up to about N300,000 of recent. But my Salary account bears close to that same amount. I am submitting my salary account statement to back my Finances.

I have intentions of transferring the money from my other accounts to my salary account online.

Please can someone advise accordingly, should i go ahead with the online transfer from my other account to my salary account? Since i don't use the account often and I'm not submitting any statement for my other accounts.

I intend applying soonest. Will this affect me in anyway?


Thanks.

@justwise why did u delete ot hide the comment. @folarge06 psot here the Q&A could be useful

justwise:
@Folarge06

Sorry i have to hid your long post.

Nobody should be given Q&A for US student visa interview, people should prepare and ask questions according to their individual situations. Many end up memorizing these guidelines and when asked a question they gave the memorized one rather than the actual answer.

God has done it for me o, so happy!

Okay, so I booked flight for saturday, then decided to pray, count on faith and pay Etiebet's place a visit yesterday, and yeah visa was neatly embossed on my passport, sealed and collected.

For those who wanna know how long? I applied 8th Sept, Submitted biometrics 17th Sept @Vfs ikeja, Approval mail came on 25th Sept, Picked passport up 3rd Oct. My visa says issued 23rd though. I didn't get an SMS even though I paid for it. And I didn't register with TPcontact.

For my team-tier4 still waiting, best wishes, pls pray, I believe yours would all be out soon. I'll be heading off to the airport pretty soon, still packing up
So if ya see a plane fly by, it might just be me in there, say hi and wave a lil to the sky and thank God for me, it would mean a lot to me.

Uhm, yeah thanks all those who assisted me, y'all know who you are, cc'd. @Cavenchy thanks for telling me about this wonderful thread

Signing off for now. Would be back later when I'm a lil bit settled. Got loads of work piled up for me already.
I love you all.

orimahspence: I foremostly appreciate everyone contributing and assisting on this informative thread,may God Almighty bless you all for the good job.
A friend if mine recently traveled to UK on 2yrs work visa, I made enquiry of how it's done and he connected me to his agent, who also reside in UK, the agent asked me to send my passport, and assure me the visa will be out in 5weeks, and I should not pay him until I reach Uk.
Now my question is ''is it possible for one to be issued work visa without visiting embassy?
Just wise and others ,pls enlight me more on this and scoop me any other concerning info, thank you

AdesuwaMD: Fellow naijans, I salute.
I am new to this forum and in need of urgent advise on this issue that is very troubling to me and family.

I applied for a tier 4 visa for my daughter on the 9/9/14 and also applied for myself since am accompanying her to school. Mine was granted and my daughter's declined ; her school since resumed in September 2014. She is 17 and to do her A levels. Out of 23,000 pounds for the session, we have paid 18,500pounds and the school operates an all inclusive fees which includes boarding, feeding, transport fare when they need to go out of school compound, toiletries etc and this is clearly stated in the letter of admission and other materials we submitted to the embassy. She had 30 points in cas and scored 0 in maintenance. Yet my bank statement I submitted has more than the outstanding fees as at the 28days they recommended and far far morethan enough beyond the 28 days. Now their ground of refusal is...am quoting them word for word......
"You are required to show that you have 7,380 pounds for maintenance and 4,555 pounds which are outstanding in respect of your fees. You have provided your mothers bank statement as evidence of funds, however, her bank statement dipped to N1,311,101.89(11,935 pounds) on the 18the August. Her bank account is dated 31 August. She needed to show that she held 11, 935 pounds continuously for 28days proceeding 31 August. I am therefore not satisfied that you have provided the specified documents to show you are in possession of sufficient funds, as detailed in paragraph 10 to 13 of Appendix C of the Immigration Rules. You therefore do not meet the requirements to be granted entry clearance under Tier 4 (General) Student and I refuse your application under paragraph 245ZV(c)of the Immigration rules"" If you believe that the decision made by the entry clearance officer was incorrect, you may apply for an administrative review of your case. You may request one administrative review of your case. Your right of appeal is limited to the grounds referred to in section 84(1)(c) of the Nationality Immigration and Asylum Act 2002:''
On receipt of this, we immediately called and wrote to the school. They were very surprised and sent us a letter on their letter head explaining that all we have paid was inclusive of maintenance fee, but unfortunately we have been asked not to submit any new evidence along with our administrative review which we have since done on 24/9/2014 explaining all we could to them.
Justwise, seeing the justice you and other good Nigerians have been doing to other peoples questions, can you help do justice to my own. My heart breaks for my daughter seeing how sad she looks these days,,,,very unlike her. My question is DO I HAVE A CASE? WILL THEIR DECISION BE IN OUR FAVOUR? HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE BEFORE THEY CALL US? IS THERE SOMEONE I CAN GO TO EXPLAIN MY CASE TO PHYSICALLY? CAN I REAPPLY AS TIME IS OF ESSENCE SINCE HER MATES HAVE SINCE RSUMED? OR WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST I DO?

MallamYahaya: Thank you very much @Justwise. Should I send an email to the above address?

Dbestmax: So y is it called a Joke

Dbestmax: MmmHhmmmm..
But but am not laffin

Amdan: That was what was implied in the agreement. However, I assumed sinceam an academic staff in a University in Nigeria and and my employer has agreed I continue, am continuing for further education and not seeking employment in the UK, the agency should allow me continue.

Just wondering if I absolutely require the consent letter to extend my visa and what happens if I dont include it?

Amdan: @ justwise spikesC and other ogas

I just finished an MSc (sponsored by an agency in Nigeria) and got an offer for PhD (sponsored by the Uni.) to start immediately. I want to extend my visa so I contacted the agency for letter of consent to include in my visa application but they refused. Will not including the consent letter affect my application in any way?

MallamYahaya: @Justwise, please I need your opinion on this. I submitted my application on September 17, 2014 at TP VI. I got two emails same day, one informing me that it has been transferred to UKVI and another email stating that it has been received by UKVI.

Four days ago I sent an email to the UKVI requesting for the status of my application. I got a response two days later stating that my application has been processed and it's being delivered to the VAC. I infer that a decision has already been made.

What I don't understand is why TP hasn't sent me a decision has been made mail. They have also not updated their website.

My school has already started induction of PhD students. I'm worried as TP doesn't have a contact number or email address. They deliberately ensured that when you click on contact on their website it leads no where.

Please and please anyone making an appplication for visa for study purposes avoid TP VI. God to Abuja where you will experience minimum delay. Those who applied after me have received their visas.

Hahyour: hahyour..@justwise..Pls am so worried about the status of my application,my sch v strtd registration since and the latest date to join is 13th of October . I was at VFS office on monday but it not yet ready..pls what should I do next?

kemkem30: Alhamdulillah, I got 3 approval emails today (myself and 2 kids). It's been a very long process for me and I am extremely glad to finally start this PhD.
I thank everyone on this thread. @justwise @bambamzz @tobeee @spikesC @donoms @Olisedinma @etc
I applied on the 24th of september without my hubby. I submitted the following:

10: fasting and prayers
I submitted online since the 12th of september when my money was just about 18days old, but I did the final transaction on day 29(23rd), printed the statement of account the next day(24th). I really hope this helps somebody out there.
