Hello all..please I need an urgent response. I applied for an Irish Visa late lastyear and I was issued the Visa. Two months ago, my sister also applied for the same Irish Visa but she just got a response today and was denied( she actually submitted all required documents and followed the same process like I did yet she was denied) but was told she can appeal within two months. Now the question is how do we appeal? What is the process of appealing please? Would she re-submit the same documents she submitted earlier and would she pay another visa fee...and what do you think should be corrected.please I need a detailed response. Thanks much

Well I applied for an Irish visa 3weeks ago and was called by the ups courier service that my package is ready with them for collection. Am not around to pick it up yet until next week when am back in Lagos. My question is ..I thought Ireland visa takes 8weeks to process..why did mine take exactly 3weeks. It was received at the embassy on 4th of October 2018 and got a mail that my processed visa has been dispatched from the embassy on 25th October. I hope it's positive news tho..lol..I have traveled well in the past to UK and am married to a UK citizen and resident.




Oooh but it’s still same.
Just tell them your spouse will join in Ireland and apply for the visiting visa with your P, your spouse P and your marriage certificate.
They may request for Hotel reservation[/quote]

As a family member of an EU citizen, your chance is just 100% as long as your spouse with be going with you and your Visa application is free of charge

But he isn't going with me...I wanna visit Ireland independently as he would be stuck with work at that time in the uk

Hello house...please I decided to throw my question here since the Ireland thread(where my question is suited for) isn't effective at such...

I am planning to apply for Ireland tourist visa as a tourist. I have traveled severally in the past to the UK and have been looking forward to travelling to Ireland someday but haven't had the opportunity until now, I want to spend my forthcoming leave days from work in Ireland. Please note that my husband is a UK citizen and resident who visits me often in Nigeria. I have no plan joining him in the UK soon as I am still comfortable with my job hence my stay in Nigeria. Also,It is just going to be me visiting alone and hubby doesn't intend joining me from london as he has used up all his leave days at work.what are my chances please?

Mclovin I need your contact.

I need mclovin's contact pls?

Hi Mclovin. Been trying to reach u on the no you dropped but seems to belong to another user now. How do I reach you please. Any number to call on? Or does anybody has mclovin's no

Hi Justwise. God bless u more for the superb job u doing right here!

My query is on behalf of a friend. She has a 2year valid visa and she visits the UK at least once a year right from when she applied/had 6months visa till she got the 2years.

She met a nice man on one of her trips, a relationship ensued and he later came down to Nigeria for the wedding proper(court wedding) last month.

Her question is, she doesn't want to file for a spousal visa to join her husband yet as she has a great job going on here, plus she still got a multiple valid visa which she wouldn't mind renewing after expiration. Would this count against her at the port of entry on her next visit if she states she is there to visit her husband, and in the process of her visit visa renewal, would she have issues since she would mention her husband as british resident/citizen in the application form.

Justwise o. Your candid advice please. Thanks much

Thanks Keni. But have already submitted my application online and also booked my appointment. Do u mean I should go back and edit the ds160. Also,besides his new job,I decided not applying with hubby cos I felt the VO might feel we wanna elope together especially since we just got married and no kids.

To the House,more advice pleaseeee

Hi All,

Pls I seek your candid and urgent advice as my appointment date is around the corner. This is my story:

I graduated from the university early 2008 but due to some issues in my department then,our NYSC exercise was delayed. It was during this long wait that a friend in the states decided 
paying an agent here in Nigeria to help me facilitate a student visa application for a degree programme.So in Dec 2009,I applied but the agent coordinated the whole thing.He told me my chances are high if i apply for a degree programme since my first degree transcripts and other documents were still experiencing departmental issues. I think he requested for some few details then and  he later sent me the confirmation page plus other documents and was not so sure of whatever he filled for my profile online)
Unfortunately, I was denied due to some inconsistencies the VO noticed.I remembered he took a long time questioning me.The few conversation I remembered were:

VO: so how did you learn about the school and programme
Me: blabla(I think I mentioned one study center the agent mentioned to me but I noticed the VO wasn't impressed)
VO:So what have u been doing since  u finished your secondary school in 2003(that was after he asked and I told him I finished 2003)
Me: (the 22years old ignorant me started feeling uneasy) I have been working with my uncle's company
VO:what does your uncle do
Me:I told him
VO:so who is sponsoring you
Me:my uncle
VOHe raised his nose up a bit)your uncle or your your....(He din't finish the sentence then I think he later went through my e-20 on his computer)
You filled that your father is your sponsor right,so why are you claiming your uncle now
Me:yes sir, I said so because my uncle decided sponsoring me instead (the agent caused me this, he already filled online and printed out that my father is my sponsor meanwhile I was planning all along  to tender my uncle's statement of account because it was robust. My father wasnt aware of the student visa process but my plan was to get the visa first then tell him knowing he would support me since he knows our set was experiencing issues  with the school then.I knew my father won't say no to footing the whole trip if i end up getting the visa.so when the agent sent me my documents just two days to my appointment and I noticed my father in the sponsor section, I told him and he said I shouldn't worry that I could go ahead with my uncle's statement of account as they rarely check documents. I thought of still stating my father as my sponsor when the VO asked but I changed my mind cos I was scared he might ask to see the statement of acct next.
VO: am sorry maam, you are ineligible at this....(handed me a white paper which summaries have not been able to demonstrate adequate financial arrangements for the purpose I claimed or that my stated purpose isn't convincing kind of)

We were called up for our nysc two months after my visa refusal so I pushed away the us traveling plans. 

Fast forward 2013, I was sent abroad by my current company for a training in the UK which was my first trip outside nigeria.I came back and went back again two months after for Xmas hols. So in march 2014, I decided to give the us visa a shot again(my cousin was getting married in April but it was her mum I filled as my contact in the US cos she was the one inviting me). Unfortunately,I was denied again but I think I was able to pick out some points for my rejection(my responses were very brief and not so explanatory.Think I did this again out of ignorance and heading to an advice that I should talk less). The conversation:

VO: so u work with sososo company
Me: yes
VO: how long have u been there
Me: told her
VO:have you travelled out of nigeria before
Me: yes twice, for a training last year October and a Xmas hols in December(my 6months UK visa expired a month before the us interview)
VO:where did you stay in the UK
Me: I stayed ...during my first trip and stayed...during my second trip
VO: so u are visiting Mrs....
Me: yes,my aunt( I guess I should have furthered explain that I wasn't just visiting her but also attending her daughter's wedding)
VO: what does she do in the us
Me: she is a pastor
VO: when last did you see her
Me: 2011 when she came around
VO: are you single or married(she stared at the engagement ring on my finger)
Me: single(I made the mistake of not going further to state I was engaged and was in fact getting married in some months time. I thought I had to mince my responses)
VO:how many siblings have u got
Me:3
VO:tell me about them briefly
Me: they are currently undergraduates at so so so
She typed shortly and handed me a blue paper which summarises my lack of strong ties.

I renewed my uk visa in july and got 2years. Also,I got married in august. Now this is my concern, I plan spending my annual leave for Christmas hol in the us but hubby can't come along as he just got this new job in September hence he isn't entitled to a leave yet plus he isn't a fan of foreign trips due to his phobia for heights/long flights so I don't really see him travelling out soonest. Since its over 7 months I got denied, I decided reapplying. I am sponsoring myself for the trip cos hubby just spent lots recently(accommodation, home appliances etc).Though i made a hotel reservation, i filled in my male cousin as my contact in the us cos I hope to see him and his kids briefly before going on my tour around plus he said he might in fact accompany me around if he wasn't so busy then.

Please all, what are the likely questions or issues I should expect this time around during my interview o and what do you feel are my chances. I must not be denied this third time o
