Let us hear from the other 'P'. Then we can make a decision.

Going for my visa interview tomorrow 8am... Virgin passport... I know you guys will say my chances are slim... But I want to break record... Everyone talks about having travel history... I have never traveled before.. Has anyone ever had a visa with virgin passport or heard of anyone?

Sir, we still await your transcript. It will be nice to know how it went.

Kuffour1267:

Nice move. GGMU!!!

Bro tommorow buy a ball take a friend with you to the field ,try both goals then come back here and tell us which is harder

I did, Musa's was more difficult. Look at the angle from which the ball came, the control and the shot. I don't even know why messi's goal is on that list. In my opinion, there were better goals. Well, it's my opinion and everyone is entitled to his.

Nevee:

Lol imagine! Nothing so spectacular about Messi’s goal tbh.

That is great news because supersports didn't rank it as top 10.But is that Messi's goal really better than Musa's?

OP those are your biggest dogs in Nigeria? Then you are deceiving yourself. None of those dogs is even close to one of my dog Tyson by weight. Let the dog fur/hair no deceive you, shave their hair and they become GSD's in comparison. Measure dogs size by weight. Thank you.

I need a puppy of one of these.

ok

While filling out the DS 160, there's a question about us visa being cancelled. I found 2 "cancelled without prejudice" on my mum's expired passport. The stamp is on the front and back page. Though she got to US from UK and travelled back to Nigeria. I am using a new passport for the Dropbox.
So do I answer "YES" and explain or answer "NO". THANK YOU

The answer is no. Don't lose sleep over it. Thanks.

iapt:


Thanks bro...God bless you

Amen!

KDK, thanks. We have a newspaper publication we did in 2016 but I have never submitted it in my previous application that is why I am thinking if I should go and do another newspaper publication so the ECO won't say I hided anything in my previous application. My wife has never applied for a U.K. visa before but I do write her name in my previous application under SPOUSE INFORMATION with her maiden name as her surname.

Sir, I can see you are very worried about this. There is nothing to worry about here. The name you have in your previous application is valid. Use the old publication. I want to believe your publication states that all former documents remain valid. If you want, you can give an explanation in your cover letter. You don't need a new publication. The old one even gives you more authenticity/credibility. Just state that you erroneously addressed your wife by her maiden name. All the best sir.

NB. Follow Justwise's advised steps. There is no need to fret.

iapt:


Wooow this is so surprising...my own balance now is just about 100k more than yours then and you were refused...omo i fear oo...all the same, i pray for the best

Please relax, each case is reviewed on its individual merits. I know of someone that got a 10 year visa with a similar account balance. I wish u the best.

richcasey:


why so fiesty man? you came to people for help and advice and they are just trying to do that.

Perhaps attention seeking. Can't say for sure.

buddiemm:


The name on marriage certificate shows my name as ADEYEMI OLABODE While her name was written as AKINYEMI DEBORAH. But now that we are married her name supposed to be ADEYEMI DEBORAH. Her current passport was issued before we got married and it shows her name as AKINYEMI DEBORAH

If I am permitted to jump in here.
It is permitted to have a maiden name. Has she done the court affidavit and news paper publication for change of name? If not, you need to do that. She can travel with the passport bearing her maiden name.It is no offence. However, just for the sake of clarity, explain the names in a cover letter. Please don't complicate the story like you did here. Simply say her maiden name is this and her present name is that but she still uses her passport bearing the maiden name.
Don't sweat it, it is no issue.

Fyorgyn:


See you oh... You leave our thread come ask question for here cos you no believe in us

No be we still answer your question for here?



All the best dear

Please will i be able to book a date for interview before August 20th because my school orientation starts August 22nd but classes resume August 27th and I’m going to get my I20 on Wednesday and I’ll probably fill my DS160 on Thursday, i just want to know if I’ll be able to get a date before August 20th. Thanks

Read the rules for emergency appointments and see if you qualify.

aamstih:
Please can you let us know such choices?

Perhaps offline since they are personal info.

How much is UK flight from Nigeria to London?

Depends on the airline, route, class and other factors such as stop overs.

Oladipodamy:
Hello everyone. I wrote here the other time that I am going for my masters program in at New York film Academy in america by september which I already have my visa for that but I just want to use it as an avenue to visit London film school which I was advised to get an invitation letter from London film school. I contacted London film school but they said they will be on break by that time unless I want to come in October but I will be in America studying by that time.
I now contacted my friend which he contacted his uncle in uk and he gave me his British passport data page and invitation letter. Do you think I should use the persons documents or I should just use hotel reservation or I should forget it? Thank you bosssssss

My advise is that you forget the UK visit for now. Go for your studies and apply to visit the UK from there. The visa will not only be easier for you but it will kill any doubt that might arise about you wanting to enter the uk and not return (which is their main concern). Although your US visa will give you a better standing, be smart, apply from the US since you are a student. All the best in whatever decision you take.

How does she want to climb or do other physical activities with this? This is rubbish. They will make appearances of holiness but have very bad/wicked attitude especially towards house-helps.

what rank are these officers?

folmus:


I will advise you read your original post yourself. I replied based on your cryptic post. This is not condemn. I wish you good luck in your application.

i tire for the person. i am off the case.

favouritedami:
I did...I traveled and spent 3 months in the uk, after which i was advised by an agent to backdate my arrival for future application purpose. I then followed this advice and paid him to do that.
Fast-forward to when i re-applied, i was refused based on the fact that a wrong stamp was found in my passport and it was seized.

i accept that i have done worng and its been years...i have even renewed my passport and am just asking if anyone has recently been able to pass this stage successfully. The portal is really open for anyone that is ready to condemn, i am looking for someone who can shed more light to this for me...just want to know what to do.

Thank you

Oga, you need to wait out the 10years. I don't know of anyway round it.

Somie4:
you can even enter the us a week before your visa expires and they will stamp you in for 6 months as long as your passport isn’t expiring same month or isn’t expired. Google it, the us immigration website would explain better. My hubby traveled to the us in January, his visa was to expire in feb but they stamped him in for 6 months after he told the cbp he was only staying for 3 weeks sef.

True.

winterstorm:
So I decided to join this forum because I didn't want anyone to fall mugu to any yeye visa agent like I did... It was really bad....I didn't know there could be some kind of reward in it for me.
Me: Good morning ...
Vo: Good morning ma'am, pass me your I-20 and
passport... how are you today?

Finally, be nice to everyone you see, someone somewhere is watching, for instance, I caught my Vo looking at me when I was laughing at the queue woman and when I was helping one mama like that. She kuku gave I and that mama.

Thank you God!.....

My brother, I thank God for you. I like the way you researched and used the research in answering your questions. You gave very pertinent advise on dressing. We need to dress the part to show some level of seriousness. When I was there, there was a man from a big multi national oil company that has it's world HQ in Houston. This guy wore jeans and shirt yet he was coming for interview for a business meeting. I understand the casual dressing but atleast put a jacket to sort of formalise the dressing. He was refused (I am not categorically saying the dressing caused it but we should eliminate obstacles). People should please dress well. The people interviewing you are the most casual dressers but they are never dressed casually when interviewing you as a VO.

But guy, why didn't you ask her what state she is based in the US that you may come looking for her.

All the best bruv. Enjoy your studies in yankee and make wise choices in your future endeavours (don't be like some of us that made choices that we regret till date). God bless.

It is still a business account and the ECO has clearly stated that it cannot be used for a private vacation. So you need to come up with convincing reasons why you want to draw fund from your business account. You could explain to the ECO that you also used this account for personal expenses and support it with documents.

Supported.

person123:


my company is registered under business name. it not a limited liability company and as such has no board of directors or share holders. I am the sole proprietor, i make all the decisions regarding the day to day running of the business including the finances. I got a reference letter from my bank informing them that I am the sole signatory to the account I presented. what could have gone wrong. is it that my documents were not properly scrutinized

This complicates the matter. It seems the ECO makes a lot of mistakes these days. Yet these their no-appeal policy is complicating matters.

person123:
Hello Nairaland am new to this forum and have read some of your comments which are helpful. Please kindly help me in analyzing my UK visa decision which i collected on the 9th of July. Also see attached my refusal letter and visa application i filled. I own and manage a registered firm of estate surveyors and valuers (Registered with CAC as a Business Name as part of the rules governing our body. i look forward hearing from my good people in the house.

The ECO is correct. The business is an entity of its own and is different from you. Unless you had stated that the business was sponsoring your vacation, then the account statement would have been acceptable. To show financial standing, you need to show funds in your personal account and not a business account. Or you demonstrate that you have full access to the business fund by submitting documents to support such. I hope this helps.
