Congratulations!



quote author=SoarNaija post=130074766]Omo that's how i got this life-changing email yesterday. Nairaland and this video practically changed my life. About two months ago, I saw a link to this video about the UK Global Talent tier one visa on Nairaland. I took my time to watch it and long story short, I received my endorsement for the visa yesterday morning, despite my very little experience in tech. All you need is some experience working in a tech startup, and you can even plan towards it if you're not in tech at the moment.

Here the video link and it has the direct application links etc in its description as well

I love Naija but it's goodbye for now, let me go get my life in other, even though I'll visit from time to time. If you're in tech and applying, feel free to drop any qestions, after watching this video and I'll answer to the best of my knowledge as my goodwill

Welcome to the new dispensation! Just can't keep calm mehn!![/quote]

Congratulations!

Permit me to ask some questions as a form of guide: Was this your 3rd or 4th UK Visa? Any other valid visa in your passport? How much was your total POF (both savings and salary accounts)? How much for the visa application fee?

Congratulations once more!!

quote author=esdajo post=130028812]Visa fees as of April 19 was 123,550. Appointment booking would cost almost 49k then travel health insurance. Just budget like 200k for everything.[/quote]

Congratulations!

Can someone assist by providing the current visa fees in addition to any other costs charged by TLS?

I applied in 2022 and I am sure this would have changed from then.

Thank you

Do you mind sharing your interview transcript as a guide?

quote author=flavann post=129691014] I was at the embassy last week Thursday for interview, and the consular approved my Visa... this morning i login to my profile and i was told to schedule for another appointment for 221g, what could be the problem? after first interview and this is not drop box.[/quote]

Last time I checked, this isn't anyone's daytime job. We should learn to exhibit some decorum.
Dear poster, this spirit of entitlement you've just displayed, ko le werk!


quote author=JaySterling post=129677961] I don’t care! I asked her a honest question and she was very rude with her response and didn’t even respond or tell me what to do. So it’s better she packs her load and leaves the forum. Let someone else who is ready to respond to all queries take the job.[/quote]

For Lagos, the next available date is in October 2024.

Hope this helps.

quote author=Eddykurrent post=129655382]I want to renew my B1/B2 Visa via Interview Waiver.
Please what's the earliest date for passport submission in Abuja and Lagos?

My proposed Trip is last week of August[/quote]

Wrong thread.

Theres a France thread. I advise you post your question there.

Shalom!

Marcgrace:
Hello Everyone,

Has someone applied for a short-stay family visit visa to France?
Thank you.

Sorry about your friends refusal.

Was this his first UK visa application?

Any travel history?

{quote author=lionlee216 post=129521206]My friend was denied a UK Visa, He submitted both his personal account and business accounts(He has two businesses) and i am suprised the ECO saying his account within 5 months showed 8 times his annual income. Its a business account for God Sake, is he supposed to be running at loss and his bank account remains stagnant?

I tire for this people[/quote]

2M as POF?

No pls.
.

ifedima:
Please, I need your opinion, is processing
a Canadian visiting visa with 2m through a viable lawyer agent ok?

Hello.

To answer your questions, you havent done anything wrong and this is now the situation with dropbox appointments.

The last time I checked which was around February, the available appointment dates were in July.

Guess its now in September.

Goodluck!

AO709:
Good morning house

I am trying to renew my B1/B2 visa via dropbox option. But the appointment dates I am seeing are as far as Sep 2024. Are dropbox appointments (to drop off documents) usually that far, or have I done something wrong. I cant get any phone number to call US consulate to even talk to customer care.

Please help.

Many thanks

I bet they were curious at why you spent just 1 day, lol.

Bet it went well and ended in praise.

megastu:
My last IW was declined and i did the interview. I spent 1 day on a trip to America.

Money laundering ke?!

Lol...

Thegamingorca:
You need to understand what it is you want with this travel you want to travel chief.


Is it tourism, exam, burial ceremony, masters, doctorate studies or even money laundering.

Did you spend a long period on your last trip to the States? Or was your visa used for child birth?

Just curious to know why you were asked to schedule a follow up appointment.

All the best in your interview!

iyanuakin:
Good morning Gurus, so I applied for IW in Feb which I was refused but was scheduled for follow up interview
My interview comes up in April 26, my initial plan was to go last month for 2 weeks break, My circumstance has changed as I got promoted last month too with increased salary and also time to travel has changed too

Can I fill another DS160 to update my status before the date or I’m not allowed to change anything?
Thanks

If I understand you correctly, this will be her 4th refusal. Maybe you guys should take a break from reapplying for now, whilst building her travel history. That should count for something.

EmirOfBodija:
Thanks for your comment.

The bank statement is not low. In fact, the statement showed that she has 1.3m as closing balance and she had a total of 170k as credit from her sons during the one month period. She only intend to spend 50k

My fear was that the ECO dwelled on the previous refusal despite saying this new one is reviewed based on it own merit.

Now, I am not sure what do. Is it advisable to apply as soon as possible.

Note: she’s had 3 refusal based on different reasons which are corrected in subsequent application.

Hello poster.

How was your interview?

kolaa007:

Compu001:
Hi guys,

Gods favour is needed for visa applications/approval!

Shalom!

mamawa123:
Anyone who read this should please summarize it for me. I don’t have enough data to read a long story

They rarely ask for documents.

Just ensure you can explain why you stayed that long especially if you're an employee. Above all, pray for favor including meeting a nice VO.

All the best and do keep us updated on the outcome.

iyanuakin:
Okay thank you
Employment docs
Leave letter is available sha

Gbxbhhsjwjbrbfb:

Thenomad:

We need dates.
If there is a group etc kindly fill me in.

Thank you

oyimaliski:
You will be notified to choose a date

Then can u see a date to choose . Max a week or 2

Even if earlier dates are posted, i doubt that we are able to reschedule. Read something like that when I booked my appointment.

jokepearl:
Thanks.

I got the email after I posted this. But the problem is only July available. I wonder if I there will be earlier dates anytime soon.

I got a message to schedule my appointment the next day.

jokepearl:
I got same yesterday when trying to schedule dropbox interview. Did you hear back from them yet?
How long did it take?

News Flash Guys!

Visa fee is now N294,400.00 (at the rate of N1600 to 1$) and the next available dates for Lagos dropbox applicants is in July 2024.

Just yesterday, it was N277,500.00

It is well!

Can you provide details/link of the new website you used for your visa application pls?

Nielda234:
Good day everyone. Please I need assistance. I’m applying for a Canada tourist visa. I used the new website and filled the form. I have a valid UK and U.S and I’ve been to over 15 countries. As documents, I was provided space to upload only my US visa, passport page and employment letter and just 1 additional document. I did this. I have other supporting documents. How do I show this? It say based on my application these are the documents I’m meant to provide and they will ask for additional ones if need be. Now I’ve scheduled Biometrics. Will this be a problem?

Did you receive a refusal email?

If no, there is a likelihood that your visa was granted.

However, you have to pick up your passport to confirm same.

All the best and do keep us updated.

Childofgrace18:
Dear Customer,

Your travel document (and supporting documents, if applicable) are now ready for collection at the TLScontact Visa Application Centre, Enugu.

Please does this mean that my visa is approved?

Did you check your spam/junk folder?

codeb:
Good day All,


I did biometric on 31st January, 2024 at Ikeja TLS. I received my passwport today with no vignette. However. I did not
receive any refusal email.
How do I go about this please?

As at today, the next available date for dropbox applicants is 20th of June 2024.

It is well.

Thenomad:
Visitors visa date is so frustrating.. ha. Renewals are enjoying sha

I wish you Gods favour in your upcoming interview. Dont forget to update us on how it went.

All the best!


quote author=sethtsadopp post=128247558]Hello. My interview is in 10 days time. Because I run a turn over kind of business. Sometimes by bank account balance can be high, sometimes it can be low depending on when I place order for goods or when I sell. I currently have about 9 million in my account. Can I print by statement like today that there is money there cos I don't know if by the time it's a day to interview, my balance can be 2 million or 3 million and they will think that's all I have. Will they want to see statement that was printed like a day before? Or statement that was printed 10 days before is still fine?[/quote]

Congratulations!

We look forward to receiving more of these!
