efosanigerl:
Good evening house, I have been following this thread for a while now and from what I have read and understood, I sent my application 2wks ago.

My refusal email was sent yesterday, with my understanding, 2 month disposable income is sufficient for my travel plans and I don’t was careful not to spend more than that, I will appreciate your advice on how I can put a proper application in and when I can reapply again.

Thanks
My honest input
1. the first paragraph i believe is a mistake form the deciding officer, because the information you provided as regards your monthly salary was different from what he/she quoted in the response.
2. Did you show a breakdown of how you want to spend the 1.1M naira with proof ? like cost of air ticket (dummy booking with cost), hotel booking (also with cost), budget for transport, feeding and miscellaneous
If you did all these and you are sure that the info you gave about your monthly salary is correct and can be backed up in your statement of account (as the officer did not complain about your bank statement), then your can apply for appeal on the claim that there was an error from the visa officer

Good afternoon, all.

I need clarification on the F4 visa process.

My sibling, who is a US citizen, filed for my immigration. PD is May 2016.

The status of my case says Case Received, and the inquiry date is May 2024.

How do I get to know the ND and DQ?
F4 takes about 16 years presently, so you will need to wait.
first the petition would have to be approved by USCIS and sent to NVC before you can begin to discuss DQ.
At case received, it means your petition is yet to be approved.

Hi everyone,
Please I need help!!!
I was refused visa twice . Since I gave birth to my second child in 2017 haven’t gone for a visa application so I went in for interview on September I was refused. I had all my receipts then I got a date for today which I went for as well and I was refused again. I had my children in 2016 and 2017 respectively. I sent letter of intent and I also said it at the POE so I wasn’t hiding. I paid all my bills. It’s just that my kids really wanted to visit the USA. They haven’t gone since they were born. Please how can I go about this. Should I get an immigration lawyer and please does anyone know a very good one
How much was your total bill like? was it up to or more than $10k? were you asked about the different bills and how much they were at the interview?
Sometimes lower bill makes the VO reject people with previous birth

Greetings to the house,

Set of 2017 and 2018 mama here🙌🏽.
Please for those that have renewed their children’s American Passport, do they accept any other form of Identification like the Driver’s License apart from the international passport from the parents? Hubby international passport is expired and the renewal is taking longer than expected!
I think it is solely international passport that is accepted.
when did you hubby apply for his international passport? The passport backlog has been cleared by the Nigeria immigration service.

Has anyone here picked up their passport without it showing issued on the website??
Yes, my daughters passport were not marked issued before my wife collected them, both were still marked in production. The tracker was marked issued after the passports were collected. If you have captured before October 1st, your passport is surely ready, go and pick it up. If the officers tell you that it is not ready, request to see the PCO.
TravelRe: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by Lordcrixus:
DIY still works, the officers are bent to scuttle the whole process but they will not succeed. After successfully renewing my passport DIY at ikoyi passport office in November 2021 and it came out in two weeks, I have vowed not to use agent for any government agency again. This year I did my drivers license renewal and that of my wife myself and we paid the exact fee on-line without stress. This same year I took my two daughters and my sister to Alausa for passport renewal (DIY), and all three passports have been collected and were issued in two month. If you have captured before October, your passport is definitely ready, go and collect it.

Hello everyone l need ur urgent advise on this matter My brother was denied to boarding his plane yesterday by the airline agent at night because the agent wanted him to pay more tuition deposit and later was told that the plane was over booked so please wat does he do l need ur advise
Did your brother book the ticket directly from the airline? If yes, you/he need to call the airline customer care service and get a rebooking.
If through agent, then you can contact the agent you bought the ticket from. Sometimes when a plane is overbooked, the airline usually plunge out passengers from agent especially does with low booking fee.

jesufifunmi:
what do you advice I do? Should I cancel and request for a refund while a fill a new application when it is less than 3 months to my proposed travel date? Or I should risk it?
Hello Jesufifunmi,
You do not need to cancel the application because of the date, the visa will be issued close to your proposed date of entry (one or two weeks before the date). As in your stated example, the visa will be issued one or two weeks before January 1st. Even the home office usually advice visa applicants to apply ahead of their travel date. What you need to bother about is if your application is water tight.

FNRF:
Good day everyone.

I applied for child dependant visa for my step daughter (my wife is the MA).

First time I applied for the child, it was denied because the divorce settlement between my wife and ex husband says he can see the child anytime as long as he notifies her one day in advance. We didn’t add a letter then.

This is the second time, we got a written letter (signed, he thumb-printed on As well) from the father of the child now stating he’s aware the girl is traveling to the UK with her mother and he supports it.

I also added my wife’s Visa vignette, mine and letter that I’ll be caring for the child while my wife is schooling.

Just few minutes ago; I received this e-mail; “ Please provide the following documents:

Paragraph ST 34.2 States - Child applicant’s parents must each be either applying at the same time as the applicant or have permission to be in the UK (other than as a visitor) unless the parent with permission as a Student is the sole surviving parent or has Sole Responsibility for the child’s upbringing
• Please provide Details of your parents Visa application to travel with you to the UK or proof in the form of an official court document to evidence that the parent that you are travelling with has Sole Legal Responsibility, however this must not be only in the form of an affidavit.”

Has any one had similar issues and please kindly advice how to go about it because I had provided all these documents prior before now.
If the father truly wants the child to travel with the mother, he should provide a court attested letter of sole custodianship of the child to the mother. Though this is very dicey and precarious as the mother may use this in the future against the father not to see the child, but this is what UKVI wants to see in order to issue the child's visa.

Hello everyone
Please please
I just got my student visa
I was informed by IRCC on the 30th of june
My problem now is that my passport would expire in 5months time and I've already applied to renew it which i was told it would be out by next week and IRCC has given me 30days to submit my passport which the deadline should be 30th of this month.

The bigger problem is I'm not sure that passport will really be out by next week like they said because this is Nigeria so in the worst case scenario it's not out yet is it advisable that i use my old passport with 5months to expire then when the new one comes out i could merge them both together.
Please help I'm confused i really need to know what to do.
God bless you.
Go to the Immigration office where you had your biometrics with the letter from IRCC, request to see the PCO and show the PCO the letter. Let the PCO know you have a deadline to meet, he/she will help you. Or go to servicom at the same office and show them the letter, it almost usually help.

Please help!!!

I have an ongoing US immigration VISA with the details below:

PD: June 2014
ND: Sept 2015
DQ: June 2020
Visa Category: F11

The wait is really tiring. Only reminder emails for almost 3 years. Now I am married because for how long will I continue to be unmarried because of US.

I want to try UK student VISA but I have done a marriage certificate, my concern is that would this marriage certificate affect me even if I remain silent on it to the US and pretend to remain unmarried to them?

What can I do to ensure that by the time US calls me, there won’t be issue with my marriage certificate because I don’t want to my category to moved to the married category which would even make the wait very much longer. Please house, advise me on what to do please 🙏🏽
Inform the US about your marriage and move to F3, apply for the UK student visa with your spouse. That's the best way to deal with this, any other way will jeopardize your petition.

do you have the link where I can check whether it has been approved now? I used to have the link but not anymore
It's better if it takes longer years to be approved so that your derivatives(children), if you have got any, will not age out and they can go with you on the petition.

Is it possible for me to cancel my current appointment and use same receipt for the interview waiver?
I qualify for the interview waiver.
My current interview appointment is Jan 9th 2024, i think it is too far, and it was booked before the introduction of the interview waiver Program.
I look forward to response from anyone who has done this and it worked, or any input from anyone with experience on this.

Good morning Nairalanders.
Please someone should advise me.
I have 2 kids and their father is a British citizen. Please is there any way we can migrate to UK without his help?
If your kids were born after he acquired British citizenship, then they are automatically citizens. Their father just need to push their documentation and get them the British passport. As advised earlier by someone else, discuss with their father, if not for you own benefit but for the children.

Thanks, I have submitted yesterday 08-11-21. I started everything online and paid on Sunday, and yesterday I was at ikoyi office to submit. I was able to complete all the signings on the file and my biometrics was taken same yesterday.
update
I visited Ikoyi office today being the 6th week after biometrics. I checked the status of my passport renewal, it was ready since 19/11/2021(two weeks after biometrics)
I am waiting to collect the passport now.
It is strictly DIY application. This is my fourth passport and this is the first time I will pay the exact amount to obtain one. The officers bullied me at every office when I wanted to sign my file, but I stood my ground.
My advice is that DIY works and even the officers that promise you two weeks will go through same method , just renew ur passport ahead of expiry date.

My sister, (F4 derivative applicant) has been married for 5yrs with 2 kids.
On the NVC Portal, no slot for addition of her spouse and children. How can it be done to add her family? She doesnt mind staying back and wait for the approval of her family together.

And also, how to update her name record has she bears her husband's name.

What can be done please? undecided

PS: Was filed for, in 2006 and just got to the stage of visa payment and documentation.
Hi Olu4life,
Your sis needs to visit the ceac website and at the immigrant visa section log in with her case ID number and invoice ID number (both numbers are on the welcome letter which she must have received by now), there she can add her beneficiary(husband and kids).

I need your opinion, please.

I want to visit my Boyfriend in the UK in May 2021 as I will be relocating to Canada in June 2021 (I have a Canadian PR) and I am not sure when next we would be seeing.
He is willing to write me an invitation letter and provide all the necessary documents.
I have N5M in my name. 4M is set aside for my relocation to Canada and 1M for my trip to the UK.

But here are my challenges-
- In anticipation & preparation for my relocation to Canada I plan on putting in my resignation next week; it seems difficult to provide ties to home country.
- My siblings and Mum have relocated to Canada already: worry for ties to home country.
I need advice on how to go about my application to avoid rejection.
You can attach a copy of your Canadian Entry visa and a confirmed flight booking from Nigeria to Canada to your application.
