Dear all,

i need the input of experience gurus in the house as regards a project. The site is in a swampy area in kosofe lagos and the soil test result is not promising. But the engineer in charge as assured that we can first do a base and then place the raft on the base for the foundation. We are planning on constructing a two floor building on it, and i have corroborated this claim with other building engineers. I want to know how possible this is in the long term ?
And also, he quoted the following for the foundation, which includes the base and the raft:

83 Marine plywood board
300 length of wood 2" by 3" bby 10ft
4 bags of 3" nails
9.5 tons of 16mm iron rod (TMT)
2.5 tons of 12mm iron rod (TMT)
1 ton of 10mm iron rod (TMT)
1 roll of binding wire
6 roll of water cell nylon
50 tonnes of sharp sand
45 tonnes of granite
120 bags of cement
60 litres of water proof cement
My question is, are these materials not to much for the building? I have attached the soil test profile and the cpt result and the floor plans of the building

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective.

Regarding the rental income, it is first paid into my brother's account since he manages it, and then it is transferred to me. My business in Nigeria has had an online and physical presence since 2016, with a consistent monthly salary.

Additionally, I held a UAE residency from 2019 to 2022, although I only visited twice, spending 20 days on each occasion. I was also issued a UK visa in 2019, which I couldn’t use due to tight business commitments , so it hasn’t been decades since I last traveled.

The person currently managing my mini market is the same individual who managed my now-closed UAE store. I had her relocated to oversee the mart.

As for the purpose of my visit, it is to attend my brother's graduation. Do you advise changing it to "vacation" in case the ECO does not recognize attending a graduation as a valid reason for visiting?
Your tenants and customers can actually pay into your own account or business account, and it does not stop your younger siblings from managing your businesses. The VO may interpret it as it is not your real business/Company because why will a business allows customers to pay to a third party. Going forward and for seamless visa processing, you need to have your own business account, and from there pay yourself salary each month.

Hi, please I want to make an enquiry , my old international passport has expired and now I am using new one to apply , did I need to submit both the international passport ( the expired and new one ) or I can just submit this new one ?.
Make a scan of all pages with visas, and entry/exit stamps of all the countries you have visited on the old passport. Then upload it as evidence under travel and residency on the TLS website and submit only your new Passport.

Thank you.
We will wait and see how it turns out.
I think this is how you calculate the CSPA age, the number of years it took USCIS to approve the petition is the pending time. That is, how long is it from filing date to approval date. Therefore, the age of the child at visa availability minus the pending time will be the CSPA age (this value must be less than 21 years). This is why it is better a petition takes a longer time to be approved. And the child must remain single, until he/she gets to the US.

Please how many years is your baby’s passport valid for? Did you apply at a passport agency (travelling is less than 14 days) or your mailed the documents to them?
if you don't have all the required documents or the authorization from your partner was not certify by US embassy, they might give you a passport valid for a year and then you will be advise to get a 5 year valid passport for free if you apply within the one year validity at the US embassy in Nigeria. If you don't apply within the one year validity, then you have to pay for a new passport.

Before it was not a requirement for minors applying for Nigerian passports. If it's a new requirement for minors, get the document.
Do you reside in Lagos State and what is your state of origin?
I am from Oyo state and I have already been to the liaison office in Ikeja GRA, but the staff I met told me that they don’t have the certificate in Lagos, that I would have to go to my local govt or state headquarters at Ibadan. I believe they are lying so as to extort people( normal Naija civil service way). I will look for a way to go about it. Many thanks for ur input

Hi All, Thanks for all the insightful, FAQs and knowledgeable database you guys created here with your unrelented contributions. I got a 6-month visiting visa for my Mum using the information here. She is a retiree, contributing £1 towards the trip and I fully covered the whole cost with a £2,500 statement of account.

Meanwhile, can someone who has recently flown with Egypt Air clarify if they have this policy, their helpdesk contact form hasn't responded to my enquiry :

''The credit cardholder must be one of the travellers in online booking. If the customer fails to present the card used for purchasing the ticket(s) during check-in time, Egyptair has the right to deny passenger boarding".

That is, a cardholder paying for the online ticket must be one of the travellers in the booking!
The bolded is a disclaimer message to prepare the mind of travellers for extra security check in case the system flag the credit card for fraud. Most airliners have this disclaimer because scammers/fraudsters use stolen and fraudulently obtained credit cards to book flight payment.

Before you try sounding like an i.diot on my ad, that car has a total landing cost of over 4k dollars. Multiply it by the current exchange rate and add clearing fees to it and an additional 300k to it and tell us what it comes to. Also show the accident pictures to people so they can see what it looks like.
