Kimsunh: what if I have a visa on the old passport and I was issued a new one? Will the old one be cancelled and the visa be cancelled as well?

Kimsunh: Hello good people. I'm new to nairaland, I have a big problem that requires urgent attention. I'm billed to perform along my other colleagues for a show in uk and we have been granted out work permit. I have filled the application and made the payment when I noticed my passport is missing so I quickly went to Abuja to request for a new one. I haven't been issued a new one and this morning my wife found it. Can I go ahead and submit the application with the old passport despite the fact that I have reported it missing and I have been giving the approval to come for renewal next week. Pls help me out justwise and every good people here

makahlj2: Mugabe was a controversial leader at best.

Hopeforallone: All this was declared in the first application. Well we are going to court in September so they probably will not overturn it.

Thanks anyway

HandOfChukwu: What kind of African are you? You seem upset about Mugabe.

Hopeforallone: @ so are chances slim?

eminikansoso: The guy is telling the bitter truth.

HandOfChukwu: So what should I have said? You want me to write an essay? If you don't have any "information" shut your mouth.

HandOfChukwu: How is that propaganda?

emafav: Someone should please Answer my Question now

HandOfChukwu: That's why there are whites living in South Africa to rob the continent of all it's gold, and the reason there is war in the Congo is over Cobalt which is used in phones, PC's, Tv's, Laptops etc... the whites started the war between the different tribes so they can maintain control over their resources otherwise they would have to pay extortionate prices to the Congolese because it can't be found anywhere else in the world, they've been using the same method all over Africa since they arrived, that's why they don't like Mugabe he kicked them out and retook control. Too many Africans don't understand that Africa is underdeveloped because during colonization they were brainwashed after foolishly trusting the whites, oyinbos are the only real problem. People better understand right now.

Hopeforallone: @ Justwise and Girlflo- according to paragraph 320 11 he falls under these statements -

providing false documents for work - employment
using an assumed identity or multiple identities;
illegal entry
overstayer

I believe this is what the ECM/ECO will present in court. Just confused and time is going quickly which is a good thing, should we get statements from friends and family?

Hopeforallone: @ Justwise and Girlflo - My court date is set for early September and I am really anxious about going, my husband had a terrible history and this is the reason why they have taken it to court on paragraph 320 11. I know someone else is in the same situation on here but they have not been to court I don't think. Is it possible for them to grant the visa or could the judge refuse it or let it go to upper tribunal, even though they believe we have a genuine relationship, financial, accommodation and English request all met, but it's just the history, will the Judge punish me for what my husband did before we met? All this stress is not good, I can not bare being by myself anymore. Please advise me.

DonOms: Many Nigerians may not understand your question since Prized-Lottery Savings (PLS) Accounts are not used in Nigeria and the UK. I think the saved money remains yours, is never lost, and can be withdrawn at any time you so desire, right? If those three points are right, then I personally believe you are safe to use the account. However,you have to be sure about this so I advice you read the section of "Proof of Maintenance Money" in the UKBA Tier-4 policy and then go to the bank and ask them if the account meets the UKBA policy. All the best.

hasan123: Hello there,
I've applied for my UK Student Visa & I Submitted my documents and biometric fingerprints etc as well.
The thing is that my friend told me that you have to show 3 original bank statements which proves that you have available funds for future studies but I couldn't find any information telling this that How many bank letters & statements you have to submit in documents. So I submitted two bank statements and Bank letters.
Can any one help me with this? Can any one tell me that I've showed 2 statements and letters will cause my visa to be rejected?
Regards,
Hasan. I've applied from Pakistan for Tier 4 General Student visa from Karachi, Pakistan

dotcomnamename: Ok, do you think the Nigerian embassy can issue the TC on his real name and dob? or the wrong name and dob?

dotcomnamename: Ok i understand now, but if he is asked to travel to Nigeria to do the new passport there on his real name and date of birth, how is he going to travel to Nigeria? because the passport is not with him and it has even expired since then. I wonder how he will go out of the country to Nigeria to do a new passport in Abuja?

dotcomnamename: Yes he has all those documents in his real name and date of birth.

dotcomnamename: Thank you justwise God bless, that was exactly what i told him too, but he's scared of explaining himself to the Nigerian embassy. According to him, it was the person that secure visa for him from nigeria that used different name and different date of birth to obtain the e-passport for him at first because he said the person said he can only secure a visa for him with different name and different date of birth, and when he arrive in the country where he seek asylum he told them the truth his real name and real date of birth and he has been using his real details which they now gave him leave to remain on. Now, what do you think is the worst thing the Nigerian embassy could do to him if he go there and explain himself to them about this? And secondly do you think it is advisable for him to let his solicitor handle this by contacting the Nigerian embassy on his behalf to explain the situation to them?

Thirdly, do you think Nigerian embassy can issue him a new passport on his real name and real date of birth if they eventually know that he has obtained one passport before on different name and different date of birth?

Lastly, do you think the Nigerian embassy have the right and opportunity to issue him a new passport on his real name and his real date of birth if they know that he has obtained one passport before on different name and different date of birth, because we have been hearing from different people that he must go to Abuja to sort this out.?

Thank you
