hi guys

i have been a nairaland follower since 2013.


I know i am not suppose to post this here but i just want to raise the hope of Nigerians seeking greener pastures abroad.
I also applied for CANADA VISA in 2016 but was denied. I DIDNT GIVE UP AS I AM IN NEW JERSEY NOW! Please DONT GIVE UP!
Please join me in thanking GOD for this testimony



i am sorry my testimony is coming late. i hope it helps raise the hope of Nigerian youths seeking greener pastures here.

My brief HIstory:
i have been denied USA student visa in 2013, 2014 and 2015
i then turned my dreams to canada in 2016 (paid my school fees in full and was still denied student visa in 2016 after waiting over 3months)
at this point my money was almost finished and my family started advising me to start studies here in nigeria
I also tried Germany in 2016 was also denied

i enrolled for yaba tech part time program while i also chased my travel dreams in Germany. i was also denied visa to germany because i couldn't raise the 8,800 euro blocked account.

at this point, i was frustrated and desperate, but the work load from yabatech and my business kept me from depression.

immediately, after my graduation in Yaba i decided to give USA one last trial knowing fully well that i will be denied but i kept on pushing forward

my interview went thus:
first, my interview was for 6;30 13th august 2018 but for the first time i got to the embassy very late and i was not scared or nervous. it rained heavily that day and the rain no pity me at all.
i just protected my documents and went it. i was very cold and feeling sick. i just wanted to do my interview and leave. i was bending down to make my self warm and was almost sleeping before the person behind me told me that it was my turn.

My interview was very long.........

my interview: (a Beautiful black american woman):
VO: Hi there. are you okay?
Me; Hi. yes i am fine. i am just cold. with fake smile on my face.
VO: oh okay why are you going to the USA?
Me; for my undergrad studies in Business Administration and management
VO: when did you finish high school?
Me; 2012
VO; what have you been doing since:
Me; I went for a computer diploma program for a year. then i started applying to Universities in US, Canada, Germany and Nigeria. Things didnt go as planned with the Abroad studies so i went for my National diploma in yaba that took me 4years.
VO: Why did you choose to continue studies in US? why not nigeria?
me: the educational system in nigeria is really poor even though it is affordable to study in nigeria. my program for example is suppose to be a program of 2 years but due to the strike and poor educational amenities it will take me longer time to graduate here in Nigerian university. And i believe in the proverb; "what is what doing is what doing well"
VO: Why do you Change your course?
Me; briefly after my studies i open a Human Hair Business with the financial assistance from my uncle but i need more board knowledge in the field of business. thats why i decided to change my program to help me business grow when i return to Nigeria.
VO:how many Universities did you apply to?
Me; A lot
VO; sorry i meant how many gave you admission?
Me: 6
VO: wow, name them
Me: saint peters University, University of central oklahoma,Troy University, University of manitoba, Canada. Conestoga College, Canada, and the last one Westfallen, Germany
VO: can i see some other admission and I-20
me: *i smiled because i know she didn't trust me. I passed them to her and apologized because they were a bit wet.
Vo: passed them back and asked how i found out about Saints Peters University
Me; My cousin who is a US citizen studied there and he has nothing but praise for the university.
VO: what classes will you be taking?
Me: I smiled because this question was the reason why i was denied the 2nd time. I answered them sweetly grin
VO: what will happen to your business when you leave Nigeria.
Me; Presently, i have filled my sister in on the basic things she needs to know to keep the business alive until i return
VO: can i see some of the business documents
ME; i passed her CAC document and business bank statement with just 400k in it
Vo: who is paying for your studies?
Me: my uncle?
VO: Why?
Me; He has been the one funding my education due to the death of my father in 2007
VO: what does he do?
Me; He is a medical doctor
VO: Can i see his bank statement?
Me: Passed his bank statement
VO: he is in the US?
Me; Yes ( at this point i thought i will be denied)
VO: what is his legal status
Me; He is a citizen
Vo: do you have his tax clearance?
Me: Passed them
VO: flips through and returns them


*starts Typing endlessly as i was waiting for my denial letter*
God surprised me as she raised her head and gave me the White paper and said the magical words

VO: Congratulations and goodluck in your business
Me; *straight face* Thank you so much ma

Me: stepped out in the rain. the jubilation in me chased the cold away grin grin grin grin grin
My family cant still believe it until the day they excorted me to the airport with tears of Joy in the eyes of my Lovely mom

I got to US on December 4th, Cold has been dealing with me since....

My dear brothers and sisters,
I give thanks to God for the delay i faced before because He was using it to help me build a business for my self here in Nigeria.
i wore simple native attire, went last with so many red flags and still got the visa. It can only be God.

i hope my testimony boost your hope. NEVER GIVE UP! Give it your best!

I also thank all Nairaland members especially Amefrica, Gravinton, Stewee, Kunlebal, Walspring, even Justwise as i Welcome myself to AMERICA

Thank you sir

What i did is i sent a web form asking for the letter and it was updated in my account within 30 minutes. You can do the same or just be patient it can arrive today or tomorrow

Hello Nairalanders,

Please I need you to shed light on this.. I've seen my counterfoil online buh I have not gotten letter of introduction, I don't know if am going to get it along with my passport or online. I don't know if it's needed. Thanks for your anticipated response

Approval Alert!!!!

I applied for study permit online route and submitted on 16th October.

I submitted my biometrics on 22nd October
I received medical request on 5th December
Medical was done on 10th December and medical updated to passed on 17th December 2018.

Since then no update. I sent mail to both London and Lagos. London replied asking me to use the Webform so the office handling my file will see my enquiry. I used the webform to send a reminder. I received a mail from IRCC that my file is in Nairobi and I should mail them as well.

To cut the story short. I sent a gentle reminder to Nairobi twice buh no response. Which was on 26th & 27th December 2018. On 4th January 2019, I received Biometric validity correspondence and today 5th January PPR dropped and my application was also approved!

I wish everyone that is also expecting decision from CIC and ones that are planning to submit their application you hear get a positive outcome. With God all things are possible.

Alhamdulilahi!!! �

Your application is very good. I think the VO just refused your application on purpose maybe coz your application was held for longtime. I believe if u apply again they will approve your application this time. Defer your admission and apply again. Don't give up yet and I wish you the best. Just be prayerful.

Kenya people

I have not even received correspondence for biometric validity since my medical was updated to passed on 16th December.

Please let me know when you get approval. Thanks

Adebayo2296:
Urgent Pls!
Pls is it possible to get approval after school has resumed or during week of resumption from past experience on this forum?

Medical is passed and correspondence for biometric validity was also sent.

Kindly advice on alternative best of action to take?

Thanks for your response and kind words. God bless

Austacus:


Good morning
You don't have to panic.
The possibility of resuming before the 7th of January is very slim for you cause it will take some days to process your passport too.
All schools in Canada usually give an extra 2 weeks for an international student to resume
So, stay calm you will still get there in January.

Bless you

Good day All,

I submitted my study permit application online on 16th October, did my biometrics on 22nd October.

I got medical request on 5th December and did my medical on 10th. Medical updated to passed on 16th December makes it 6th day today, I have not gotten any update.

Please how long is it gonna take to get PPR/Approval. My program is starting in January 7th.
