Sorry for my late reply.

Some were screen grabs while others i printed from email. I had over 1500 screen grabs for whatsapp alone (1 year chat history), so i had to crop each picture with microsoft word and put like 4 on a page (this took a while). After i got tired, i Just complimented the grabs with the email version.

In terms of authenticity, i don't think that is your concern. The marriage certificate, wedding pictures and all other life events are the most important documents. The chats just shows that the relationship is subsisting. I hope you have your chats for a very long period (between 4 - 12 months). Trust me, no one will go through 100s of pages of chats (time is money in UK) the officer will probably just check a few pages for consistency as long as he/she does not have any reason to doubt other supporting documents. If you got your call logs, include them too.

Make sure that when you are going to TLS, make coloured copies of all your pictures and documents to A4 size. Also be careful with the TLS staff. Some of them can be very annoying and lazy. Don't let them put you in a hurry. Make sure all your documents are scanned and carefully watch what they are doing. Don't let their inefficiency cost you your visa (scanning over 900 pages of different documents can get daunting)

As for my letters, i am presently on a trip and I do not have them on my personal computer as my hubby drafted and couriered them to me. Once i'm back to my based, I will help you out with that. Hope this helps? Best of luck

Thanks for your update, I was considering the screen grab and pasting on Microsoft word option too, I think that's should just fly....if they want 4 months communication, I can provide 4 years.

Thanks for the info about TLS guys....I'll follow it thru....

For the letters, I'll follow your tip too and write up something, my 28days clocks this weeks and I doubt if I can wait for your trip return..... Hopefully it will pan out well.

Many thanks

DelGardo:
For 16 years FG under PDP did not build 1 unit in the states. Buhari has started delivering his promise but you want to wail about it.

So until they are ready to build 700k units they must not start at all?

On one hand you complain about the insufficiency of the numbers, on the other hand you talk about permanent secretaries taking all without having clue how the units will be allocated or paid for. Which one is really your problem?

Some people head na just heavy weight for their neck, no sense.

Please in your life, don't you ever and I mean ever quote me again.....since you don't have the slightest etiquette.

Exactly what's my business with PDP and APC....they are d same in my opinion and they are both failures.

Exactly what is your problem that you jump to my post and tell me I have got no sense, I shared my opinion, you are simply entitled to yours....what's the insult about?

I knew how I jumped about for 1 unit of the Lagos state housing but couldn't get any apart from the one in Epe, Ogba, Agege, ikorodu and the likes were impossible to reach, I have first hand information.

I shouldn't join words with you because of your intelligence level which is evident in your insults to drive home your point, but for the sake of education, saying PDP built no units states is an emphatic lie....Big one.

I know of the Federal housing estate in Kubwa (built 2002) because I lived around there, I know of another in Lafia nassarawa, because I served there. There's a small one by the Federal Mortgage bank in Oyo states and I am sure there are many more.....this is NO KUDOS to PDP even though it was all built during there tenor.

I am a big hater of the PDP govt because they failed, so am I of the APC government because they have disappointed.

If you wanna keep trading PDP/APC war because you have gotten some peanuts from one of them, goodluck to you, but as for me and myself.... A better Nigeria is my focus.

I will beg you to save your fights and insults for a PDP fighter like you who has been paid and please keep your mentions and insults off me.....

Thank you

Hmmmn

With the housing needs of Nigerians, i expect an individual to be inspecting 76 housing unit, not the local government, not the state government.... Talkless of the Fedy government...

I expect to see a massive plan for a massive number of units at a low cost, that individual of Lekki gardens delivered 7,000 units in 6 years according to him, though unfortunately some were substandard, but this is a benchmark that goes to show a state government should be able to deliver 70,000 Units in its state, while she Federal government should be able to delivery (directly or indirectly) 700,000 across the country all in 4 years.

Until the government is ready to touch the lives of those guys they pay 18,500 minimum wage significantly, then they should stop showing us pictures, all these are cosmetic governance...... Perm secs and directors of government agencies will all buy these units before they roof, then let out to poorer ones at exorbitant rates.... The same fashola will pretend like he doesn't know what's up

Wake up Africa, wake up!!!!

Hi Figel,

Invitation letter and Introduction letter, I know you have explained but do you mind giving me your sample since it has worked, I seriously don't wanna take chances.

Also the whatssap chat how did you print it out, is it the usual whatssap to email and then print?

If its like this, its not really looking authentic and how do they know its the people applying that is in the chat?

I'll send you a PM if you don't mind, you can share menthe sample letter....

Cheers

Amarabae:
Marriage is a project and not an investment.
he should invest the money in business first inorder to stand firmly financially,after that he can talk about marriage.
steady and relevant income is very important in marriage.

No ma! Marriage cannot be a project, in a project you work towards a conclusive end....in marriage you don't.

Waow

Now at least we have data, all that is needed is to improve on this, from indication, no one can go wrong in Cocoa business.

Amazing I don't find cashew nut there, I also don't see ground but, and its a shame to find palm oil at the import corner......

The stage is set, see yam, see knife, see fire......

damanjohn:
I don't think so and if you think so.then pls quote how I insulted you !

Maybe, when I suggested to you to go back and read again the post before getting back to me was an insult. Then I will apology sir but if that was not an insult, then you deserve none sir.

You were quoting my post wrongly and I suggest you should read it and get back to me but you end up saying I'm insulting you...


That was a bad of you sir.


Cashew still available for immediate pickup from seller my boss bought from

Location Oyo state

Interested buyer that already in Oyo state should call

"ARE YOU A SMALL BOY!" In a large tone, those were your words, and they are very bad.

2, I maintain that you didn't say a seller has a left over in the first post, all you said was that there is cashew in Oyo, and I called based on that

Now you have edited! And you saying I have misquoted you....how funny

damanjohn:
Are you still interested in buying cashew ?


A seller we loaded cashew from him have 45 tonnes lelfover of sun dried cashew is in stock and ready for pickup ..see and pay

Location in Oyo state


Another seller we bought cashew from in Lafia also have 60 tonnes in stock but its not sun dry but with good kor 47

Either way call me on 09075391906

This was not what you wrote before, why did you edit after insulting me....

You did not write before that a seller has left over, and I spoke to you based on what you wrote.

Now you have edited, I think I deserve an apology, because I didn't misquote you.....it was you didn't explain yourself well before.

Rahima:

Mcowubaba:
Baba,
Do you know about studying in Ireland..
After a Masters degree can someone stay back and work.
I'm asking for a serious reason.

I went to their immigration website, I wasn't really understanding what the were saying

Nah nah, don't have an idea about Ireland, oga Justwise should be able to help you out.

Cheers

Dongreat:
Guys please I know it's unrelated but it's the best and only place to get a good response. Please can I use my Zenith MasterCard (Naira) to make withdrawals in the UK?

You can't use your naira card outside Nigeria for any bank, Buhari cubbed this, if there are few exceptions, then you can't get more that 200USD .....that's if you every get lucky....

Never travel out banking on your naira MasterCard for Cash.

Merci

tolfa:
that's all?.....I used a GTB account and I was told they can only give me a reference letter that I actually owns the bank account....is that enough to defend my statement of account?
thanks and God bless sir @justwise

Was the account yours?

If yes, was it in your full name as in passport?

did it clock 28days, was the funds enough? Are you sure the rise and fall of the naira didn't make you short of funds at a particular time, did you withdraw during the 28 days to short your funds? Was the statement stamped by the bank, did you submit original or photocopy?

When did you open the said account? You really have to tell yourself the truth if you won't tell us.

If the account wasn't yours, who is the owner? And was there a proper statement from the owner saying you will be having full access to the funds, did you provide your birth certificate to show the owner is your father or mother?

More questions need to be asked, I feel for you, quite painfully, but I don't think the will deny you based on bank statement if there was no suspicion....

If all is cleared, I suggested you tender a backup from the bank, stamped and dated and reapply, not appeal as that takes time.

Good

Those toilets are an embarrassment I have not seen a par with them, even Guinea and Senegal that have an airport looking like Chisco and Ekene Dili Chukwu motor park have got a better toilet.

Public toilets in Nigeria are generally not a sight to behold.

The toilet at that airport (MMA Lagos) is fair at the departure above, bit the arrival below, just before the UBA ATM behind Etisalat and MTN stand is a disgrace to the Federal Republic if Nigeria, knowing well that is the first access

Did you see the people in coloured suits and yellow helmets..... They came there with a vehicle.

I am a govt critic, but I must give it to Lagos State...

Ngasky:
Many complains without understanding of the ethics of airside rules of airports
1. Your problem is with Medview airlines not security.
2. In the pic I saw 2 security outfits I.e FAAN aviation security and an airforce personal.
You can't stay on the tarmac even when wearing NYSC crested vest. Nobody is allowed to be close to the ladder when the aircraft door was closed after embarking.
It seems they are lucky the air force personal didn't interfere if not you wouldn't be posting by now and that is what would have happened if the AVSEC didn't succeed in removing you from the tarmac.
Even with your crested vest if only you are opportuned to hear the communication between the aircraft and the control tower you would be ashamed to hear the captain referring to you as Mad men and if need be there are snipers of airforce close by to take you down.
Being a corp member is not a licence to commit suicide

Fantastically said....couldn't agree more

Though I did something similar in Lome, Togo. Before I read the rules and realised that I was silly.

Inside the airport, you can do anyhow.... But on the tarmac, bro! You have got to show big respect.

Mikylopez:
ha! who says big sized butt is sexy

I do, many of us do.....though hers is ridiculous. But many guys like it sizable, if not for anything, just for the sight....

Hi SabrinaTravel,

Fate of travel is Sunday 5th February.

larion:
Thanks bro,

We'll keep d fingers crossed.

Afterall said and done....it came out good.

She picked the vignette yesterday and adviced to proceed for BRP which would last till 2020.

It was a good one, I guess the ECO didn't see the pregnant marker on the TB test, or dey did and didn't consider it, anyways, all glory to God.

Thanks justwise and team for your continuous response here.

To anyone who travelled recently, what's the point of entry like?
Can a one way ticket be purchased? Since she's going away for 3 years, I know entry in South Africa always demand return ticket, how is it in the UK. Flights are expensive on naira equivalent and we trying to cut cost.

Decision is made in Sheffield, visa centres are there to collect applications and serve as visa interviews centre they don't make visa decisions.

What you will do in a case of refusal will depend on why you were refused. So just wait for the outcome first

Thanks bro,

We'll keep d fingers crossed.

worry357:
If you are going to illegally use the NHS. (health tourism) you will surely be refused.

Waow.... We've applied already

justwise:
Even as this seems to be a genuine mistake it could be seen as a misrepresentation if spotted by the ECO.

Lets hope that the ECO will not see it that way since this is student visa application and not visiting visa. Students are allowed free NHS treatment including child birth so looking at it from that perspective it will not be seen as a way of abusing the health care if given a visa

Thanks for your time oga, let's hope the ECO will not see it like that, really nervous.

I like preparing for the worst case senerio, if eventually we play this penalty to "throw in", what do you suggest, we appeal or we make an immediately reapplication stating it this time.

Also the case of Sheffield and Ikeja, where is the decision made because I am kind of confused when I got the mail saying our application is received in Sheffield.

worry357:
Well the first thought

Tier 4 visa is for study
How will she cope with pregnancy, giving birth, managing baby and
completing her study?

Perhaps better to defer the school than risk failing and wasting money.
Also you must budget to pay large hospital and doctors bills for birth in the UK.

Thanks bro,

But she's going for a PhD not MSC, 3 to 4 years, if she wasn't heavy now, she still will be before d end of her time. Its more of research and little study.

If she defers, she will still be returning with her baby when she resumes, remember its 3 to 4 years, and for the bills, that's surely covered, NHS or not....I might likely move in with her as a dependant.

Worry now is if we won't get bounced as per d visa.

Justwise and team,

Please help, I got a dicy situation in my hands, my wife is about 5weeks pregnant and we have applied for her tier 4 visa, received in Sheffield already.
However there is a mistake and a twist to it.

The mistake,
We did not state it anywhere in the application form that she is pregnant, I supervised it myself but didn't know how dumb I must have been to leave that out. Its ticked in her TB result that she is pregnant, infact during the TB test was when we first knew.

The twist
I have read about similar pregnant situation on this thread, some denied cos they will be close to completing their studies when the baby is due, but however, my wife is going for a PhD, its a 3 year thing so I am thinking it should fly.

I just wanna know what our chances are, I've been practically depresses since I found out its some issue on Friday, my heart is in my mouth as we await the result this week most likely.

Additional question, we submitted in Ikeja, but got response from Sheffield, the visa decision is taken in Ikeja or Sheffield, cos I am a little confused.

Thanks for your time

ifyseun:
Good morning everyone, I will be going to U.K. For my masters in January....I just discovered I'm pregnant...please is it going to affect my visa application?....thanks

Hi,

How did it go with d visa application in January, got a similar case.

Cheers

Computer science and Economics

What a combination ......

Blakjewelry:
Some people no just get work

Do you think so?

She just told you the post is monetized, and then asking someone for her money....many people think she is stupid, but she's making her money.

Instagram, Facebook, social media is the office of this people, the foolish ones or those who are supoosedbto be else where (work or school) but following this celebrities on social media, criticizing them without making a dime....

The youths need to be smart

aresssa:
Shallow way of thinking...

Goodluck to you Mr Deepwaters

LorDBolton:
Seriously you're dull... this is a JV agreement, the state govt will repay the loan with proceeds from the project

That's what LASG is doing with the BRT and blue rail dummy!

What does china get out of this? Improved GNP, improved influence in Africa and improved expertise for its engineers.

What does kano get out of it? Improved TP network, improved revenue, improved trade activities, improvement in quality of life.

So pls shut up n stop displaying ignorance, if china dominates africa it's because of africans not being patriotic enough to follow through on agreements.

I'll ignore you insults and follow through with your last point.

Africans will not be patriotic enough to follow through on agreements, when the next governor comes in, he'll say he didn't start it and its not his business (hear out wike's speech about amechi's rail) so he won't go ahead with it.

But the loan will still be there, accumulating interests, one day, it will be too much and we have to give up something in Africa for d loans.

You call me dull no wahala, look at your first point, "the state govt will repay", how many government have been able to repay, Nigeria had to beg for debt cancelation during Obasanjo, Lagos state is heavily indebted, same as Ogun..... The revenue of Kano is nothing close to these 3 govt, Lagos, Ogun and Nigeria.

Talking about the project itself refunding, please tell us what project in Africa have survived 10years, the national stadium Abuja was among the top 5 stadiums in Africa in 2003, please have you seen it today?

Since I was born they have been working on Lagos Ibadan express road but its yet to be concluded.

Do you know how many billions Obasanjo marked out for power, do you have light now?

Oh no

The Chinese are buying Africa
How can they provide 85% of the funds.

The rail is good, but what you can't afford, you can't afford.

That rail project when completed (that's if it is) can never fund or repay the loan in the next 20year.

With our poor maintenance culture, that train will work for 5 years and die, but the loan will still be alive.

LISTEN TO ME!

For those who care to know, the Chinese are naturally wicked, they are over populated and need people out of their land.

Come 2050 when the loan they have given us in Africa becomes too much for us to pay, they gonna simply tell us to shift from our land (Africa). They gonna tell is to give them space.

Its not only in Nigeria, m currently working in Guinea, and the Chinese have taken over. They give handouts (loans) and set up silly projects while bringing their people in, in mass.

They responsible for all sorts, illegal mining , illegal fishing and the rest, the UN once complained of there illegal fishing operations but now they have d backing of the Guinean government after getting these loans

Wise up Africa! Be Wise!!
