Visman: Recently i have read from various sources on the internet that the US DIVERSITY PROGRAM also known as GREEN CARD VISA LOTTERY has been cancelled by the US government as a result of pressures from the congress insisting that the program does not seem to bring the best skilled personnel needed to grow the US economy.If this is true,what is now the fate of millions of young nigerians whose best chance of making it abroad is through the LOTTERY?.

princessmoi: @justwise,

He said his mom is requesting for a print out from the back plus a letter and the later withdraw or transfer that money to the school for payment. Is it possible to use that print out of statement from the bank while applying for his visa? Can he print out his own account details?

greyhat: Hello Expats,

I need your thoughts on this; I want to apply for UK visiting visa to attend my wife's graduation. I work remotely from Nigeria as a free-lance contractor for a UK company and am paid in pounds into my UK bank account.

My questions are;
How do I go about showing home ties as I intend to travel with my Missus.

Am I able to show my UK bank account (which is buoyant enough) as proof of funds for the visit period (5 days).
Should i ask my UK employer to send me a letter of leave/absence (would this suffice as a proof) for the period.
What are my chances or what is the best possible route?


P.S I used to live and work in the UK but now in naija.

princessmoi: Hi Justwise,

A friend of mine got admission into a school in UK the school is requesting for full payment of fees. Meanwhile, his brother has agreed to assist him with accommodation.

If full fees are paid by his mother, how much does he need for a bank statement, what documents should he use for applying visa and what documents is his brother suppose to send?

Please help as school opens in September.

hbabe: @Justwise
He can type N/A; it is allowed and it is what is usually done. I am talking from experience; putting a wrong passport number may cause problems in future.

hbabe: For the child without passport just put[b] N/A[/b]
Avoid putting in the wrong/fake passport number as it may cause problems if you intend to get the child a UK visa in future.

ujchief: Thanks. This is exactly what I've been doing. I virtually slept on this thread. I've gotten enlightened on the process. The advice of using 150k to get a 2months visa was wonderful. But let's also consider the fact that after getting the work, you will need to pay for flight ticket to return to naija to process your 2yrs visa and then pay to go back again. My cousin also read thru the inputs and was the one that raised this question. He was like it will most certainly amount to spending close to same thing if he goes that way. We've really found this thread helpful and educating, but do check the points he listed.
I read somewhere in page 4 where someone talked about this particular 2 yrs deal my cousin got and pegged the cost at about 400k - 550k; that's almost the same amount my cousin was asked to pay.



This is just what I wanted to find out on behalf of my cousin. This is what we, the entire family members are deliberating on. We have assumed that the deal is true and real, so what we wanted to find out is if its wise to use 3k dollars to go and get a job of 90k naira monthly, with accommodation and transportation.

Btw, I choose to ignore your justwise. They say first impression matters, I'd rather remain ignorant than seek advise from an arrogant fellow who believes I should know everything by default and posits that I and my cousin needs to see a doctor if we can't decode that we're being ripped off. Worse still, he is a mod of this section and I find it hard to see the intent of his malicious behavior.

justwise: The application process is done online and offline, you submit online and offline. When you submit online you will be given a date when you will visit their centre to submit the hardcopy of the online application with other documents.

If you want to buy one piece of music equipment and lighting then fan but buying things in large quantity will arise suspicion, you don't need to add that in your application form

Saintp: Hello guys,

I just go an invitation from a company in UK for a 2 weeks course starting 5th August. I was told to apply online for visa. I want to know how it works before applying. Do i need to attach any document on the online application? Or is it just about filling a form?

How long does it take to get a Uk visa in reality? Please what should i do? Cost will be sponsored by my company.

Tanx

I have applied for UK

tollu: Uncle, I nor sure say me with you read the same thread.
How was an opportunity to scam created by the thread? Except there was a report elsewhere that no one else is familiar with then perhaps you need to go read it one more time.
A nairaland member saw the name of a suggested travel company and yelled foul, just as a warning to others to beware of said company.
Nothing was organised and no plans ever took off.
Fas as I know, no one got scammed directly or indirectly from said thread.

Done.

Muhammad Javed: I am sorry it was m mistake.
I want to call my dad on business visa overhere in uk
Plz let me wat r the steps

joxiri: Are you going to open my thread or not?
Is there any other moderator that this matter can be referred to, pls I do not want my threads being closed simple I don't see other people complaining about them except you

Muhammad Javed: I wanna call him business visa

joxiri: Justwise
I am not being difficult, cos I am asking in the interst of fairness, what you fail to understand is I want to catch every1s attention by posting a new thread that's the whole essense a new thread is at the top of the homepage so every1 who comes on the travel homepage can see an respond, by putting it in another thread then it cnt get the attention of every1 cos unless that thread is opened then it wnt be read.
Its not like I am opening plenty threads, I come here post my 1st thread in months and it gets closed, am sorry that's unfair and I reiterate if there's two wakanow threads surely my thread deserves to be open.

All I am asking for is to be treated fairly and equal as the othe two wakanow thread posters whom unlike me didn't have their threads closed.

Thank you

Muhammad Javed: Hi justwise how are you bro?
I am in uk started my course finally as i was even. amywas i wanna wat are the steps i need inorder to call my father on studentb visa
thank you

joxiri: Like I have said my topic was specific and required specific answer hence why I created it and u closed it, might I add this is the 2nd time you are closing my thread, so I don't understand if this is personal, cos there are 2 wakanow threads with titles having wakanow and u didn't close them or aren't they multiple and specific to wakanow,

As far as I am aware this forum is free and fair so please don't just close my thread everyone should be treated fairly I had been posting threads on here in the past before you became a moderator and they were not closed do u know how annoying it was I came on here seeking answers and u just closed my thread like that

Please please I will kindly appreciate it if you can open the thread as I have not got the answer I was seeking nor have I been given the opportunity to even get those answers

joxiri: I have noticed there are 2 threads on the travel homepage about wakanow and I dnt see one of them being closed so I still dnt understand why my thread was closed, I dnt see the users complaining abt multiple threads.

ogakpatakpata: @field marshal Justwise, how did you pull this background info on this steve0797?......no wonder we have you as the chief security officer of the house,l think Obama needs you in the pentagon...lolz....thanks mate you are doing a good job, l hope the OP understands that you mean well for him and his cousin....

steve0797: Hello, let ur cousin try his luck i don't see any scam here, moreover if u are getting a 2yrs contract job in dubai directly from Nigeria you are charged between 400k/500k for men while ladies are much cheaper, but female job are basically cleaner with a lesser salary. And again the visa the company will send to you it's going to be an employment visa, I've lots of people that are there working with this kind of arrangement.

steve0797: Hello House,

Please I need a one month Dubai visa. Can someone gives me cheap rate or direct me to a reliable agent that can do that for me. I need it urgently. Thanks

ujchief: No man is a fountain of knowledge. You might be opportuned to know a lot about travels, you might be a dunce in music or drama. Gerrit? If my cousin and I are well grounded in matters as such, I won't be posting my concerns on this board.

Finally, quit quoting me if you have nothing positive to contribute to my course.

ujchief: I included that last paragraph because my cousin seems to be so sure that he is not about to get scammed. So I needed inputs on the said amount, the job, possibility of getting more education etc just as @goodtalk advised.

Btw, you sounded very bitter and paranoid. Has our paths crossed before or is this how you are?

FrontPageLawyer: My current and dom accounts well funded. But company's account has no funds, but runs steady, should i include the company's account?

jasmine21: Thank u very much nairaland student visa page. I've been following this thread silently for like 2 months and i got my visa today. Dis place been of immense help to me and i am grateful. [color=#000099][/color]
