Hello Everyone! Please does one with an American Passport but living in Nigeria have to do TB Test for tier4 visa. Because on their website Americans are exempt but I want to be sure if it includes Americans living in Nigeria and applying from Nigeria to go to the UK as a dependent.
Thank you.

If the American has been resident in Nigeria for up to 12months, he/she has to do this test

Temitopepremium:
Thank you! But please at what rate were u charged when u did urs?.

As at yesterday, keystone was 585. Last week it was 550. So it’s really very unpredictable. And if your funds are short, you won’t be called so you have to keep following up. Just find you account with extra so it can be done fast.

Abukeke:
@lagosismyhome @justwise @aprokodaughter and other elders.

Could u kindly advise if its possible to apply for visa for myself and partner at the same time and we travel to the UK with our kids who have US passports..Then when we get to the UK, we plan on getting their dependent visa later.
Thanks in advance

You will be stressed at the point of entry because your kids are only visitors and you are going as a student. I know this for sure as it happened to my friend. She was eventually allowed and the baby was stamped in for only three weeks. She was asked to convert his status within the three weeks. She had indefinite leave to remain and went to have the baby in the US

Secondly, your kids can’t convert their visas to be your dependents while in the Uk, they’d have to do it from America or Nigeria. Which means they must leave and apply from where they have legal status.

Hope this answers you.

Shey we won’t declare a “Nairaland prayer day” for this forex that is flying up everyday laidis. Abi am I th only one this thing is bothering ni?

And to top it up, paga is no longer taking visa and ihs fees.

Good evening house, please for those that used keystone bank for form A, did you submit a copy of your certificate /statement of result?

Went to do mine today and my result wasn’t taken, I even told the lady that it all banks request for it and she said she didn’t need it. I don’t want to wait and at the end get a cancelled request because of result. Anyone please �

Is it funny how we can say an organization won't do something?
Like saying BA would never do that?

Good morning everyone,

Please for the proof of funds required for visa processing, is the required balance of fees for the whole course or for the first year.

It says balance of fees, other calculations are made based on one year. I’m a little confused about the balance of fees. Kindly assist.

Good evening all. Please between Msc in International Business with Data Analytics and
Business with Business Analytics which one of them has a great carrier path and which of them is more easy to comprehend as I also have kids to take care of.

I hold Bachelor degree in Accounting

I'm going for international business with data analytics and I'm going with kids too. We should walk this walk together �

TheGuyFromHR:
Just so you know, the rules state that when children are being taken to the UK as dependants, both parents must be present.

Yes i know. Used to be resident in the uk. He doesn't have to relocate with us though. And for holidays, I've travelled alone with them several times without issues.

LagosismyHome:
Cool

Who is the us..... are they children or a child involved. Do you plan to apply for the child (ren) without the father?

Yes. Three children. Plan to apply for everybody together.

LagosismyHome:
But what does it matter if it cancelled or not ..... once you go o Tier 4 that what will be used not the visiting visa

Yes, but my husband isn't going with us. So he'd rather have his 10years to come and go as he likes rather than the 2 years students visa.

We had got our visas before the decision to go to school.

Bourne007:
It wouldn't be cancelled.

Thank you so much.

Please does anyone know the answer ti this �

mumzt:
Good morning everyone. Congratulations to all that got their visas approved.

I've tried to read as much as possible. May God bless all those dishing out advice selflessly. May all our dreams come true.

Please forgive me if this has been answered, i couldn't find my answers. My husband and I have 10years uk visit visas. Please will this be cancelled if I'm issued a study visa?

Once again, i appologise if this has been answered. Not my intention to spam the thread.

shagaman:
@mumzt am so sorry I could see you sent a mail but I didn't get it, apologies for late response . Thus let me know what information needed I can respond sharply..once again accept my sincere apologies for responding late.

Wanted to ask about your accommodation

MamaOO:
Not really. We’re contracted through Medi-Cal which is California Medicaid. My company actually pays kinda low compared to health plans in say, LA county because healthcare there is kinda more expensive.

Bear in mind, Medi-Cal administered plans actually don’t pay the providers and practitioners that accept them really well because it’s a government subsidized plan and the money paid out is based on what the government allocates to the health plan per year so a lot of these health plans negotiate the cheapest rates and this leads to why a lot of doctors and hospitals don’t accept patients with these kinds of insurances.

But still the amount paid out is much higher than what I’ve seen quoted here. Much more higher.

But then, only Nigerians resident in Nigeria are suffering this. I know a lot of people living in Europe that paid same amount or even leas and got their visas renewed via Dropbox. I guess that's why most people are asking questions. If it's a hospital fraud, it should apply to everyone that paid the discounted price and not just people living in Nigeria. Even my friend in Ghana had her visa renewed easily and she paid $3500 for both hospital and doctor for a vaginal delivery.
So back to the question of what our offence is.

OmoBendel24:
On the VOs thread, though I didn’t ask the questions exactly this (some bit of modification), below is their response thus far, we can go ask further questions if not satisfied or clearly understood (I myself fall in this category despite going over the HOWEVER part of the response over and over as I mostly see a pre-interview situation therein instead of post birthing).

“Hello ctrlunlimited and OmoBendel24,

Our policy is the same as it has always been. We ask all applicants to be honest about their intended activities in the United States, and the interviewing officer must be satisfied that the applicants can afford the kind of travel they are planning. This includes prospective students, business travelers, tourists, and those seeking medical care, and it applies to everyone around the world, regardless of nationality.

If you visit our website at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/tourism-visit/visitor.html, you will see that receiving medical care in the United States on a B1/B2 visa is legal. However, the website also states that applicants must demonstrate that they can afford to pay the "doctors’ fees, hospitalization fees, and all medical-related expenses". Though every situation is different, accepting discounts or paying less than the full amount can raise questions about the applicant's finances, credibility, and their intent and ability to pay for the full cost of their care.”

Thank you so much for this. Like you said, this hasn't really addressed the issue.

Hm, one day she. We'll understand.

OmoBendel24:
Oh, I thought it was Chloe07 oh. It’s okay, thanks buddy! How the area, boss? Greetings!

She's the one �
She'll probably reply you soon.

Oleayo22:
Just to share about my experience recently as I am meant to go for 221G interview soon in trying to make sure I have al my receipts ready, I discovered I didn't have itemized bill for both pediatrician and anaestologist even though i had paid my bills in full.
I called them and only for me to discover that in 2016 when I got a discount of 25% and I paid the bill right there and then that the person did not write off the discount but left it and so it was showing like as if I was owing. So they sent my name to collections . It took close to an hour on the phone with them to get it sorted out and they emailing my itemized bill to me. This is for those that use sheridan

You might want to ask the hospital for a letter stating your name was sent to collections in error. Just to clear yourself. I had a similar experience in 2016, though not the same hospital and my name wasn't sent to collections. It was brown and associates. I was sent a duplicate bill after I had left the US. But I was able to sort it out on the phone. And I made them send a mail saying my bill was duplicated and I wasn't owing.

seyewest:
Pay another visa fee... I will help you do it.

Awwww

Beautyaddy:
Canada does not encourage birth tourism.

Trying to get a Canadian visiting visa might be your best option. Even though getting a Canadian visiting visa after being denied the Canadian PR will be very, very hard.

I wasn't denied PR o. In the pool with very very low likelihood of being picked because of low scores due to age.
Just wondering if the PR status affects visiting visa application.

ninab:
How long did it take
Am hopeful for mine still my last renewal took 8 days
*fingerscrossed*

Submitted on Monday. Abuja though.

ninab:
From what I know the letter would be inside ur passport

Thank you!

sisit:
Please for drop box interview invitation, do you just get an sms saying your passport is ready for collection or you get an email with the 221g letter?

You get an sms. 212g will be in your passport when collected. To be sure, log into your profile, you would see “schedule follow up interview”

Just tap on it and available for dates would drop

Oh okay. Thank you! Just got an sms to pick up my mum's passport and I don't want to get too excited and get disappointed.
Thank you!

Malevonent:
Is this an error or somethin.
In the 221g letter..they stated to print the ds 160 form.
To the best of my knowledge the embassy peeps dont even like seeing the ds 160 form..i tried to access it just incase..but i 2asnt able to..its only the confirmation page i could print.
This makes me think the request may be an error or something.
Abeg drop box interview invitees mek una cum chook mouth.

Please for drop box interview invitation, do you just get an sms saying your passport is ready for collection or you get an email with the 221g letter?

Good evening everyone,
I have a valid US B1B2 visa and valid 10year UK visa. I want to apply for a Canadian visa with the hope of using it for birthing at some point. Though I'm not pregnant now. I have also applied for Canadian PR before though we don't qualify because of age. Do you think this will affect my application? I have absolutely no intention of living anywhere illegally. Also have extensive family travel history. Just wondering.

Sparkle1515:
Did you submit this letter with your drop box application?? Can’t seem to understand what you wrote

No. I carried it along for my son's interview. Though I wasn't even asked for it.
