I was denied today by the dark skinned lady in window 5 .. Here is my transcript
Vo: y r u traveling to the US
Me: I will be having my annual leave Jan 12 and intend to seize d opportunity it to visit a relative.
Vo: who is she to you [looked at it from my application she viewed]
Me: aunt
Vo: what state in the US are u visiting
Me: Alabama
Vo: r u married
Me: yes
Vo: kids
Me: yes
Vo: boy or girl
Me: boy
Vo: have you traveled outside the country b4
Me: no
Next thing long typing on her computer screen, followed by blue paper..... Pls ur evaluation

In my Opinion (that's if it counts) i would say u shot yourself in the foot:

1. Since you have no Travel history, you can't just want to use your annual leave traveling to US as an opportunity to see just an Aunt not even your immediate family who isn't even Sponsoring your trip cos its already a red flag.

2. All you answers are just too glibber, like you memorized them like a story line.

3. Always engage the VO in discussions to make them believe you have a reason to go to the US and return back. (Take Control and Smile)

Please read.

For all you Dubai prospects. It's better you gather accurate information before you make a step that will jeopardise your life.

The best way to enter Dubai is through a job offer i.e an employer applying for your work permit.

Don't believe these agents that are looking for money all over the place.

They will do a 3 months visa for you and leave you to your fate when you arrive.

And you can't hustle in Dubai like western countries. it's highly controlled.

Have counselled so many people who fell into the hands of these agents.

I met a guy on the metro one day who walked up to me asked if I was Nigerian, I said yes and he asked me to buy him a meal. My heart broke into pieces. He had a good job in naija before leaving.

I know of a marketing manager who fell into the hands of an agent. Got to Dubai after two months ticking on her visa she had to take on a maid job for two years.

So many girls forced into hard labour in hair salons at Deira for a paltry sum of 70000 naira upon conversion.

They live in unhealthy conditions, no standard medical insurance? Cant open bank accounts cos their salaries are low

Is it worth it I dare ask?

My advice if you want to go to Dubai. Don't zero out Nigeria till you are certain of a job in Dubai.

Go there for a month with your attested certificates and money to move around. Remember you can't do a side job there.

See for yourself and apply for jobs. If it clicks then your employer will process work permit for you.

If it needs for you to exit for the visa processing your employer will pay for your ticket. You get to go home and say goodbye properly without any cost on your part.

Wisdom is profitable biko!

Is this your Experience? Cos they are not applicable anymore.

Happy New Year. Wish many blessed years ahead

I sight you bro. Hows Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani

Uptosomething:
OK...BUT why do NIG pple most times no dey get anything to show as evidence they have been in Dubai for some time.They always complain Dubai is hard, this this that...........And they rarely come home

What exactly do u want them to show? cos ayam not understanding cos you are really up to something. No body owes you any proof to show he or she is successful before you could try and become successful. Some people here are are not successful cos all they think here is " lemmie work and get back the money i spent in coming to UAE so i can try Europe, Asia or America". So they make an extra million and run back to 9ja start hustling visas to other countries and don't get it and become stranded in Nigeria.

Femicomputer:
Hello everyone, you guys are doing great on this platform nice to meet you people. Please I want ask can 100k get me E visa, flight and hotel in UAE

Sure from a business center

Akadchitect:
Nattybanta, NONNY, NIGHTLIFE100 and all other experienced guys, pls help me with your knowledge.

A friend of mine who left Nigeria last year has been pressurising me to come over to Dubai assuring me of easier life ,and honestly I'm a little bit skeptical even with his mouth watering convictions.
So, I'm planning on getting a 3months visa (single entry- since the multiple entry has been suspended). But I just want to make some enquiries before I start anything....

1. Does all jobs in Dubai require a CV . Cos provided, I wanna do any type of job, I might need to keep rewriting CV

2. As a HND graduate of architecture (with design and construction experience) how easy would it be to secure a job in the construction field

3. Can the friend who is inviting me house me for upto a month since this thread says people are living with roommates .

Please I await your replies

1. All job require a cv cos you would be interviewed unless it's an arranged job.

2. If you have experience in CAD, it's very easy. Or some other professional certifications in the field.

3. Sure he can house you if he stays alone or you have you pay rent and live with him if he is in a shared room. So it's upto him but nothing is free..

manneger2:
U mean I can't apply for 3months visa again, only agent can do that now?

have u done that without an agent before ?

cutieme:
Oga natty,please can one get Kazakhstan's visa there in UAE?

BOKO things

Topshow4real:
I applied for employment visa through an agent , but I was issued long term single entry - tourist (it's E-visa) . . . Is it the same with employment visa?? Pls, I need to know before I balance him up. . . Thanks

uchman:
Hope you will be traveling with it soon... Does it have E visa on it? If yes, please go ahead and don't forget to tell everyone here, what's up...

But I have used that before...
And am 98% sure it's employment visa...
Employment visa has 2 types....
The E visa and the rampant one, I have not used before
It's an E visa

Once you get to POE,
You will not go through through the line of the ones with employment visa.
I got confused during my time because I came back from visa change with the E visa...
But at the end, it turns out to be Employment visa...

As long as it has E visa written on it... Bro surge on...
3 month visas, I don't think E visa is written on them

Surge on bro... I am 98% sure of what I am telling you...

When you get to the port of entry, you will be stamped in with one month validity... It is expected to round up both medicals within the time frame given at POE...

I stand to be corrected... No one knows it all

What you were given was/is a 90 days Visa.
If you didn't find (-WORK or -EMPLOYMENT) but found - TOURISM At the heading, then it isn't a Work/Employment Visa.
So don't hope it would be converted to anything else at the Airport.
UAE has been issuing E-visas in all Categories.
The E there is Electronic and not Employment so be Guided.
Also did the agent give u a one way or return ticket?
@Uchman: 2% error is enough to send someone to its early grave.

beekaf:
Hello my ogas and happy new year to all.please I would like to ask that after one gets a job in Dubai.how long does the employer take to get emirates ID for new employee.

as early as 3 weeks and as long as till your contract ends. cos some employer holds on to the Emirates ID and tell u that its not out yet.

MrRector:
can somebody help be ascertain the cost of flight to Dubai, one way ticket between 15 to 25th January. and which airport should be easier for first time traveler. I.e Enugu, Lagos, abuja, or pH. pls I stay in Lagos. thanks

Use wakanow to be certain. All airports are easy once u have all the requirements and Purpose of Travel, No one can deny you Boarding, but people avoid Lagos Airport cos they feel the corruption is much there. But if u can stand your grounds, You are good to go.

Good day house. Just got info now that they place a temporary ban on all Nigeria passport cos of the robbery at the gold shop. And all applied visa for Nigerians was bounced back. Please gurus in the house kindly comfirm this.

I can Categorically confirm to you/everyone that;

DUBAI and SHARJAH has stopped issuing 90 Days Visas to Nigerians.

Ras al Khaimah and Umm al Quwain still do.

Dubai only issue 14 and 30 days at the moment.

beekaf:
Hello house.pls @nonny@nattybanta@justi please I contacted an agency in Dubai as per 3months visa and they told me to send money.
There name is RAYNA Tours

Please can you or any other person confirm if they are on ground in Dubai

@nonny I sent a pm

I hope u specified to them that its 3 months u need,
Are you dealing with the real Rayna Tour?
Ask to be sure of no hidden charges
and that u are a Nigerian.
if yes, go ahead with them. they are legit.

Anybody visiting UAE before 7th January 2018?

bratan:
Compliments of the season, wish us all a prosperous year ahead.
I observed people do comment against residing in Diera. Someone said "Diera is the worst place to stay when u are searching for job". Those with experience should please shed more light on this, for safety purpose.

Actually its not the worse for Job seekers, cos alot of connects comes from Deira, thats if you know your way around and the right people to associate with. but 90% people there are hustlers ready to take anything they can from you if you are not wise.

olukaygold:
pls pals, I need an advice, I will start processing my 2 years work visa to Dubai in next month, but before I started, I want to ask how life is over there, I'm not going there to hustle but to have more experience, I'm an expert bricklayer. my agent said the minimum salary for those with Handwork is 180k...pls house, how is life over there as a Nigerian

I wonder who would pay you 180k; thats about 1850aed for a bricklaying job in UAE when the Bangladesh, Pakistanis and Nepalis are the most preferred in that field as they can work 12 hours for 900aed/month without asking any questions. Anyways am not like trying to discourage you. but if you are sure its true about the 180k salary, grab it immediately before you loose it. PS: life is sweet as a Nigerian.

Merry Christmas to you all. I wish all you on-ground and still in Nigeria success in all your endeavors as you strive to become successful in the Emirates and other GCC countries. Be hopeful, Be prepared and you would have a success story to tell at the end. One Love.
The fog here too isn't smiling.

ken1982:
natty...please come on 1st ...I'm having a light get together plus plenty ehemmmm

sure

MrRector:
happy xmass all. I appreciate all your contributions. Its an eye opener. imagine sharing a room with somebody, all in the name of money. I think the solutions is to tell them to cancel the visa

This got me beaming. do u think any employer here would give you a room to urself? unless you have a Skill 1 job or you go and rent yours.

onmyteflon:
Please every gurus in the house.. i am travelling to Dubai for a week and i was to travel with Turkish airline, i need some advice about it.. what happens during the lay overs?thanks

Depending if your layover is over 6 hours. You can tour the city or they check you into a hotel. but less, then u tour and wait inside the airport donno if it still works that way.

Sidaissystems:
