Dapto: Oga Justwise,I dint know a similar thread was on.But,this one is a bit different eventhough very similar.Just to get d feel of people experiences STRICTLY within the FEW DAYS of arriving.

eelvismd: Majority are not and that is while many will leave a paying job in Nigeria and take the millions they have saved for years [b]in the name of schooling abroad [/b]only to be disappointed upon arrival...Things are changing fast and the sooner we Nigerians recognized it the better for us all because the third world war that is imminent may not be in the form of weapons and ammunition

Pain: I understand your fears. No one likes anything that challenges their fixated view of the world. No one likes anything that sheds light on their innate fear of the future, especially in a country that offers little or no hope. May God Grant U All US Visas. I wish U all a Blissful Life Ahead. Okay?

solomon111: I know you will always grab any opportunity to defend your 21st century slavery.

Pain: Did my comment suggest or imply any condemnation of the US? I only expressed my amazement at the level of desperation & reverence for US Visas. The fact remains that US Visas will never be the ultimate passport to eternal bliss. A wrong attitude is a ticket to failure regardless of where you reside. The right attitude and tenacity of purpose will open doors for you in any clime. I still pray that we all free ourselves from mental slavery. Opportunities exist everywhere. If you are observant you will notice that a lot of our white brothers are moving to Africa & South East Asia in search on the massive opportunities in these economies. Growth has really peaked in the US & EU for most sectors. Africa is one of the few markets with inherent opportunities for growth!

Pain: I'm just baffled by the way US/UK visas are reverred and worshipped by Africans. This poster makes it look as if a denial of these visa is a denial to a happy life. As if the visas are a ticket to eternal life. God free us from mental slavery. Amen.

Dapto: For those in the UK already,a new thread has been opened where you can share your experiences of how you've been able to settle down within the few days of arriving.

Macheus: Yeah,its a private college,London School of Business and Finance presicely.

ojgbenga: Pls contact with useful information

Billyonaire: Whats the meaning of EU and USA please, is it a name for condoms ? Who cares about those places [b]when we have Owerri, Tinapa, Dubai and China. [/b]Arabs are showing them pepper and they are denying Nigerians visa...

otus4me: Well it's not their fault, it's the situation in the country. And by the way, what about those that are in nigeria and with expired visa.

ignis: Their children will become an automatic citizen of the UK or any country they are born. The y dont need a visa to go or stay there

yasuleiman: @justwise & other u.k travel experts. Well done on the wonderful job you are doing. Please assist,
My family(i.ewife, child&I)applied 4 visa as a general visitor twice&refused.

The documents i submitted are;
*C.A.C-certificate of biz name(newly registered)
*my savings&current acct
*my wifes' saving acct
*used cash sale invoice(i deal in generators,spare-parts e.t.c)
*wedding certificate
*several pictures 4rm wedding
*my childs' birthday certificate
*hotel reservation
*flight booking

The reasons for the 1st refusal;
*earn ₦210,843.16/mth as a self employed
*the documents i submitted relating 2 d business circumstances did not indicate my earnings
*that i have failed 2 submit unambiguous evidence of my income such as my income tax clearance certificate
*though they acknowledge that they have seen my personal bank statements indicating enough funds available,but without satisfactory evidence 2 d origin of these funds.
After d first refusal,i contacted my lawyer. He had 2 address d complaints.So, on d 2nd application, we included;
*copy of letter showing my tax exemption til 2015 (In Oyo state, its not mandatory for a newly registered company to pay income tax until after 3yrs of commencement of biz)
*the copy of wil of my late father(cos i stated in the form that i also generate earnings from other source i.e late fathers' property)

To my surprise, it was refused the 2nd time. The reasons are;
*the amount i earn as a self employed businessman is the precise monthly income, but submitted no evidence of this
*my bank statements does not reflect deposits commensurate with my declared income
*no evidence of income from property

After the 2nd refusal, my lawyer advised we apply 4 administrative review. On the 18th june, 2012, we applied and sent it through registered mail 4rm Nigerian Post office to BHC office in Abuja. Til now, i have not gotten an acknowledgement or reply from BHC office.

What assurance do i have that they have gotten my mail. Do i need to send an e.mail or try to call them to confirm our status. Maybe i should just sit down and pray

jellyloveb: @Moderator, kindly put this on front page, so other student can learn from their misfortune. Thanks

Charlesbro: My school latest start date on my CAS letter 24th Sept and my visa application is still at the British High Commission (I applied in time and it’s been with them for about 19 days now)

If i knew i would have applied months earlier but honestly guys arranging tuition and maintenance fees wasn't easy...i had no choice but to wait till all the funds were complete.

Has any one in the house had any similar experience with this kind of delay? Or knows anyone who’s gone through this?
What do you guy’s (Justwise, Charles E. and others) advice me to do?

what do you think is the reason for the delay?

I have been calling them, the numbers are always engaged.. should i email them? if yes, what do you guys suggest i should mail them?

femijck: no it a website and i av nothing to do wit them ok..it an EU sponsored organisatn ok but people wont undastand wat i again now coz u remove d name again...so justwise any idea.?

mmpc: Im not sure about this but ive heared that when you go home to your country they will check your record if you have debt like loan, etc.. and ive also heared that they will detain you for that and be imprisoned.. im not sure if it's true or not, my friend who also overstayed here in uk wants to go home with her own expense but scared that they might able to find out she have a debt... your replies is much appreciated!! i want to know as well at least i will be aware.. i really love this forum because it's very informative!!!

femijck: Moderator dnt know why my previous post was hidden...

Is Poznan univ. Of medical sciences.

SimonAndal: Justwise, why did you close this thread https://www.nairaland.com/700645/how-convenient-student-life-austria/1 and redirect to his one? The closed thread is about/for Austria. Austria is different from Australia, they're not even in the same continent. Please go back and check.

ghranty: Guess wat.? I had same issue while I wanted to get ma passport @ Festac immigration office.... Instead of March 8 1985, d̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ entered August 3 1985. Tellin mi I was at fault Dat I used a British format to fill ma form (3-8-1985).... I pestered dem for more dan a month and A̶̲̥̅̊ℓℓ I was told is to go to Abuja for any correction.... Let's smile a little... :-). while I was inside dat storm, I had sweet privileges of meetin wif top officials of dat office, infact I was @ d office of d overall Boss lobbyin for ma course... To cut ma story short... I had it done (asin, corrected n post dated) ryt inside dat office wit d assistance of sm1 who had d code to d site but ofcus partin wif some cash.. I'd be a Big fool to think it wasn't necessary to collect d direct contact of dis dude... Wat oda pple go to Sokoto to do can also be done ryt here in our sokoto, it is very possible. :-) d concerned person sud feel free to ☎ mi
