Hi, please when did you resubmit your passport?

mekanta7:
Hello guys,
I applied for 2yrs visa on june 2023 and was denied, and i reapplied for 6months visa on August 2023 and was also denied. On same August i submitted an appeal for a review, this morning i got a message from sheffield saying that the decision to refuse my visa has been overturned, that i should submit my passport to the visa application center.
I use to live in Mauritius, but I'm currently in SA, my question is can i send my passport to the VAC here in SA, VAC Kenya or must i send my passport to the VAC in Mauritius.
My last UK visa was processed in Johannesburg, while the previous two denials my passport was sent to Kenya because Mauritius doesn't have UK embassy.

I got my passport with my visa delivered today.

BunmiBie:


Hi makanta7 it's been a while. I missed nairaland.
Are you still in Mauritius or you moved already.
Do you even still remember me?

Greetings, I'm no longer in Mauritius

Phyde:

Per year or per month.

Lol.. Per month.. Things has changed now

BruceXavier:


Please can you inform on how you went about the appeal process. I have someone in a similar situation, his visa was refused a second time and from the reason stated it's obvious his application was treated on it's merit.

Normally Visitors visa has no right to appeal and administrative review, browse through UK government website, navigate to complaint and send in your complain. If they see it as a serious case, it will undergo investigation.
Make sure you debate and query those paragraphs on which the VO resfused ur application.

Oh wow that’s great. And what sorts of answers would be decent and convincing to the consular. Thanks! I’ll try and see how to get a SA visitors visa for at least 8 wks and how fast one can get an appointment for a US visitors visa while in SA already. I only have one shot at this and I won’t screw it up 🙏🏿

My case was delicate lol..
I was asked 3 vital questions.
1. When did i enter the UK,
2. I was asked why i didn't apply from Mauritius,
3. Why didn't i choose UK for my internship but US,
I applied for J1 visa for intern.

JerriBerry:

Thanks. I never knew you could apply for a US visa in another country you’re legally in so fast like that. I know I might likely be refused as well but I’m being optimistic as to I got a better chance there than here. I don’t know how fast one could get a visa appointment there coz the vacation will only last for a week or so but mind you I wouldn’t apply for a visa that short, probably like 8-12 weeks yunno cause I need the time for the entire process and I’d like to know everything about the SA visa application here. If you wouldn’t mind I’d like you to help me a bit there cause I’m totally naive about how SA embassies and visa works or anyone who could. Thanks any positive inputs is highly appreciated 🙏🏿

Yes you can apply for US visa from any country they have embassy.
I have applied for us visa from London while on UK visitor visa. Just be ready to answer extra questions on why you couldn't apply from country of your residence.
If you have money to spare, go on tourism in Mauritius.
Go to US embassy mauritius, you don't need visa to mauritius.
Just make your application straightforward.
Nobody dey that embassy, i schooled and lived there.
US visa on Nigerian passport outside your place of residence is 40/60..
God bless ❤️

Please i need an advice on what to do about my South Africa E-visa update, is still saying Adjudication outcome no document attach.

please is there anything i can do is almost 2weeks now and they are not replying my mails and they are not picking up calls

I have applied for 3 EVisas in total within 6 months, 2 was rejected and the last one was granted.
Within this 3 applications, i sent a follow-up email each on them all.. It took approximately 2 working days and they all replied, even the second one replied and told me i sent an incorrect Ref numb, i had to send another email and they also replied that I'm still on processing time frame, i should wait for additional 5 working days. The last Evisa that was granted, i sent an email, and they replied within 2 working days, with visa grant after 2 rejections.
They always reply my messages.

9days, I'm already inside the Republic 😁

Abigbo:
Please what's the duration of your stay??

hunee:
DHA Application, congrats. Your travel date is when? did you send mails to follow up
was it today you received it?

Yes i sent a follow-up email on Monday morning, then the visa dropped yesterday afternoon. My travel date is next week.

Received my Evisa, multiple entry.
Application date 9th March. DHA application

KingCold:
it also depend where you are in Johannesburg, sad to say but South Africans have lost that city to illegal immigrants,, you hardly hear local dialects when you walk in the streets.

Yeah there are beautiful places in joburg too. I stayed Kempton and within joules area.
But i think the immigrants over there do menial jobs, i would say they lost the country to drug abuse by there own people. That country needs serious sanitation.

KingCold:
it is a safe haven for tourists. And South Africa is many things but not a shithole

I feel you bro.. I have been to the UK and other few countries, SA is indeed a beauty to behold. No where near shithole.
No 1 tourist country in Africa can never be a shithole

Honestly SA is totally rough but beautiful in a diverse way, Capetown ranks top 10 most beautiful cities in the world. I always stay cape town when I'm in SA, and so far i have only been to Johannesburg, Durban and cape town. Jobug is a war zone, people on the streets are scary.
If you browse on google, it shows capetown as number one murder city in Africa and also top 10 in the world lol.. In my all my visits, my people no place dey safe for SA pass cape town o... Cape town is another version of Switzerland.
In cape town, don't near Mitchell's Plain, na mini colombia be that side.

tannystacey:


If you are coming to Capetown, stay at sea point, green point, or v&a waterfront or maybe cbd. Those are central to many Cape Town activities. Dont let anyone scare you.
The link below can help you book popular tourist activities in Capetown at reasonable rates. Much cheaper than anything else online.

Personally had their wine tours 3 different times. Go on tiktok and Instagram and find out for yourself what tourists do.

My brother, this places you mentioned are the most expensive locations in Cptn, i think op should state his budget for clear compass. If he needs something mild, he should consider Observatory, Woodstock, then Parklands and Milnerton for something cheap

OsiEnterprise4:





Hello brother, what did you fill under that picture I attached, In my previous messages

I didn't get this question well.
But if you are referring to the previous page, then It's my basic information that ask about full name. Passport Number and expiration then country of origin.

Please I'm having difficulties with this second page. I can't tick the N box.

Please I want to submit my visa application, and my sponsors account statement was printed since 17th July, i was outside of the country then. I just came in today and want to log in my visa.
All the documents from my sponsor has the same date. Can I use this statement. Please I need urgent answer.

Virgo01:

That's what I've been made to believe from the previous conversations here. UKVI would send you a rejection letter before sending back the application to the VAC.

It's a 2 way something. I got email from TLS a day before UKVI sent me a refusal letter.
I hope yours is successful.. cheers !!!

This is my refusal letter fam.

giselle237:
This story you narrated cannot work.

Please kindly advise specifically. Because I cannot wait till I start working before I visit the UK again. It's a long years ahead before my graduation.

I will reapply as soon as my circumstances change, maybe in few weeks. My uncle told me to wait for 3 weeks for his account to come upto 15M because he has too many projects at present.

alert20:



Sorry for the refusal bro.... Can you post the refusal letter so the elder's can advice you on your next application... Did the Eco mention anything about your 4months stay on your previous visit?

Just curious ✌️✌️

Nope the Visa officer didn't say anything. I attached my semester transcript and school calendar showing options for adjustment.

giselle237:
still wont work. Your profile is dodgy. When you start working and can fully sponsor your self or your parents can sponsor you with reasons then go ahead

I'm still a student and working part-time. I earn salary as a co-op worker. I used the same pattern of application last year and I got 6-months visa.
The difference is clearly written on the refusal.
My last application my uncle has 19M closing balance while on this denial, he has 2.1M.. then on my last application, there wasn't any lodgement more than 20k, while on this refusal, there was lodgement of 700k and others. Though I explained all lodgements but the visa officer wasn't convinced.

Ezinnescarlet4:


If you don't mind me asking when did you get the refusal reply, as I applied on the 13th of June, and I am yet to get any response

The refusal letter came in this afternoon. I received emails of my decision being made on Thursday.

Ezinnescarlet4:



Please when did you apply and was it at Ikeja

Biometrics 12th June.
Location Port Louis
Visa was processed in Pretoria SA

giselle237:
but I told you that it will be denied.

I want to reapply when I get back from my trip to SA.
I will put my savings account only, which has few lodgements. Then hopefully I will allow my sponsors account to go up to above 10M in closing balance.

giselle237:
but I told you that it will be denied.

Yes bro. You did.

My visa was refused. Based on 2 reasons

1. There was a lodgement of 700k in my account on January which I explained on my SOP.
2. My sponsors bank account blew up after these sudden surge in exchange rate. The Visa Officer wasn't satisfied on this two reasons.

I want to reapply next month and I want to use the keep my passport option.
My question is ...
If I get notification to send my passport, can I courier it from outside of the country to TLS and back to where I am ?
