Since your dad has indenfite leave to remain in the UK, he can apply for your younger brother to join them. I will advise him to apply for him now that he is 15years bc if he gets to 18years it will be difficult for your dad to bring him. There is no any cheaper route to apply for him, he will need to go through some of the process your mum went. E.g tuberculosis test, your dad must meet financial requirement to bring him in. Other gurus can contribute

Thank you........God bless

Hello gurus in the house thanks and God bless you guys for the information. I learned alot for my mums case before she joined my dad on a spousal visa in the united kingdom.
Please i would like to ask a question concerning our last born, the rest of the other siblings are all grown some married. He is 15years old and staying with one of us when my mum left to the UK who is on a 3year resident permit now and my dad not yet a citizen but on indefinite stay to remain.
Please gurus in the house , i would like to like to know the various route( best, cheaper and most assured) to apply for him, they do not want him to stay that long in nigeria anymore. Thanks and God bless everyone ..wishing everyone success in their applications.appreciate

@ franknetter love the thread i don dey send you pms since say make we hook up when you dey free i just dey around that parkforest/matteson illinois. if na that side you dey make we hook person need friends o..nwanne di na mba..birikwa o...lol

Eraytee:
You have a good profile but the risk in your application is way too much
1. Purpose of visit
2.family ties in home country and whr u applying from (I don't really know ao to put this like the VOs does).

But just as @folaroyal stated above, probably your LOE/SOP can savage the situation. All the best.

1.career progression in my community health field and further progression to get a masters and phd in desired public health and humanitarian work field.
2.i have my mum,sisters back in nigeria ,landed properties in my name and dads name while here in the united states, mother's sister and husband, and also 2 little female cousins are citizens.please can this serve as a tie.

[quote author=Folaroyal post=54960093]Good luck and great regards....
Please sir thank you for the purchase of tickets....olamide did really well
1.the program is just a starting point to further my career in the area of social care,public health,environmental health and safety,community health ,health administration,humanitarian works because is actually my calling even while i was in med school a professor called me to tell me that not all of us would become doctors with coat but some would end up outside that,and be in control of the health system around their colleagues, and still that was in its own way commitment to the service of the people and he saw something like that in me.
2.I am a Nigerian and a family/tourist visitor in the usa visiting my uncle and aunty(my mums blood sister) who have decided to add their profile and support me with some docs over here.
3. will send you my statement of purpose now sir.God bless you

Lexusgs430:
That lawyer desperately needs £2000 to pay his/her mortgage. He might be the solution (only if he/she offers money back guarantee).

Thank you very much sir God bless you for your response really appreciate.HAPPY SUNDAY.. please concerning the application there is an option of to join family and settlement. please in this case which option is best suited for them, i discovered their fees differs from each other. Thanks sir.

Lexusgs430:
The 10 year old is easy (DNA test might be required). But that 19 year old adult, is not so straightforward..........

please sir from your experience how can i make it straightforward. According to him over there, he said a lawyer could draft a letter. BUT in the case of making the application is there any provision for that or the child must be 18 and nothing else goes(and she has a passport already biometric one). thanks sir

[quote author=SabrinaTravel post=52012845]Hi Obizee,

They are correct to most extent, however, once you have your visa and know your travel plan, it is always best to buy your tickets months before your trip.

From my experience, I have planned and booked trips for clients several months ahead of their travel dates. Examples are trips planned for next year April onward, which i have already booked ahead for some clients since this November. Once you do this, especially for summer (peak seasons) periods, you can always make date changes(with little penalty fee) if there is a change in your travel plans.

Thanks Alot for the info @ sabrina travel so much appreciate. Please how do get in touch with you. Merry christmas and happy new year in advance.

Sabrina Travel:
Hello Obizee,

LOLZ...Are you seriously considering flying on British Airways? If so, then I bet you must be related to Aliko Dangote!

Well, to answer your question, there is no canadian airline in Nigeria. If you are flying on BA or any other airline to the United States, you do NOT require a transit visa at all.

Also, your waiting time may vary, depending on your travel agent or whether you booked by yourself. However, I have NEVER booked a waiting time of more than 2hr 30mins for my passengers.

Exceptional cases are when the airline itself decide to program a loooong waiting period, based on its discretion.

I hope I answered you satisfactorily.

Thanks a lot at sabrina travel lol please i am not related to them o....just curiosity that's all, wanted to how people fly through this top countries without needing a visa. Please when is the right time to book a ticket? some ppl say at least 30-60 days before its better and cheaper while some others say booking at night even 2 weeks before you can also get lucky to find cheaper ticket fares. Please expantiate thanks,,,

[quote author=SabrinaTravel post=51970846]Thanks alot I appreciate please does require a transit visa going through british or canadian airways? And if not what is the maximum time limit to that one does requre to stay at these airports before transiting to america.

Hi sabrinatravel, please I need to know the best/cheapest round trip airfare from lagos to chicago ORD airport from the 24 january to the 3rd week in february....thanks

thesoj:
I'm gonna try to answer you even though your question is still highly confusing and ambiguous. Is your question related to school admission application or TRV application? A police report and medicals are completely irrelevant to your admission or scholarship application so I don't understand why you are bringing them up here (assuming your question is not TRV related, which is my guess). You need to read up on your university/college admission requirements. Also, I suggest you make acquaintance with Google.

Your question on how to go about the motivational letter is extremely open-ended. You need to learn to do your own research without expecting someone else to tell you everything that you need to do. I am not trying to harsh, but your repeatedly vague questions show that you need to start doing research for yourself so you can ask more precise and informed questions. Anyways, I have no clue what a "scholarship apprenticeship" application is so you maybe if you want help you should give a brief description of what it is. In any case, go to this UC Berkeley link to read up on what a statement of purpose should address, and then modify the advice to fit your intended program and its context.

I have no clue about what documents you need to submit. Don't Mohawk College and Canadore College have websites that enumerate what documents you need to submit??

I'm very sorry that I can't accept your PM request. You can easily find answers to the questions you ask from your school website. You will get better with using Google if you start using it to do your own research. After finding some of the useful information that you might need, then I (or any of the other gurus on the thread) would be very glad to help you with more specific questions. Best.

Thanks alot @ thesoj duely noted....
a scholarship apprencetice program is a program recently introduced by this universities i mentioned to recruit handy scholars who study the handwork under them atleast for 8 mnths to a year, at the end they write an assessment exam, if you pass the exam you get placements from companies by the school in that sector. Programs may include carpentry,farming ,childcare services,stylist,fashion design.e.t.c. After you have chosen here among the best you get confirmation by the school to go apply for a TRV. thanks again @ thesoj appreciate

[quote author=thesoj post=48797436]Your posts are extremely vague thus making it impossible to answer you.
When you ask questions in a public forum, I would recommend that you provide enough context and clarity so that it won't be automatically ignored. You are welcome to ask your question(s) again with sufficient context.
@ thesoj Please I am sorry if the context isnt enough and clarity wasnt seen . I was recently invited for a scholarship apprenticeship application by 2 schools mohawk and canadore college but i dont know how to go about the motivation letter, and if adding additonal document along document like a police report would help boost my chances ahead of others in getting one of the slots. would really appreciate your help.
1. on how to go about the motivational letter
2. documents needed to follow up
3. your advice, email or if i could pm you THANKS

@ thesoj,@ yemdogg
Please I still want to know if doing the medicals alongside the scholarship apprenticeship application letter would boost once chances or not thanks alot....

thanks alot @ thesoj
Please I still want to know doing the medicals alongside the scholarship apprenticeship application letter would boost once chances or not thanks....

Hi guys, nice job ppl God will make a way for everyone been following for quite a while now and it's been really helpful. Please guys l need your advice l recently got chosen among ppl to submit application to Mohawk and canadore college for a scholarship apprenticeship program scheduled in January, please I need guidance on what to submit alongside the application and how to make the application, especially the scholarship motivation letter stronger to beat other competitors. So I can be accepted for the program. URGENTLY please... Thanks in advance ...more blessings[/quote]please @ anyone gurus in the house need your help....will appreciate
