@olabode89 , congrats bro. Pls for self-sponsor, what was your closing balance (SOA) like and how much do you earn (pay-slip). I'm considering self-sponsorship too, so I wanna know how you were able to convince them for that. Thanks in advance.

SOA - was between 1.5M to 1.6M from when I uploaded my document till when I got the RP decision.... I earn about 170K after tax. Also know that I get other income from a property I inherited.

anthochie:
Guys I dey wait for answer....I need to find out if after the interview...it is updated on the events concerning your application

I had my interview on 10 June..... My status changed to in progress on 16 June....got a request for supplementary information on 17 June.... sent s docs on 22 June and got a decison about 5hours later.

I think there is a queue at d moment and d pace should improve immediately they start treating ur app.

billydragon:

billydragon:
boss!! Congratulation! Am so happy 4 u bro! Na finland straight man..abeg, give us info as per aw u take pakage dat supplementary docs baba...na serious panic mood boys dey nw oo..lol..congrats once again!

What they requested was ....6 months bank statement and origin of funds in my account from one date to anoda... I guess they noticed that around 1.3M was deposited in my account within 3weeks.... What I did was to draft a document stating each deposit (debit) in my account and provide a support document for it.... The deposits in my account were rent income, salary payment and withdrawal from my staff coop account.

For the rent income I provided receipt issued to the tenants and tenants agreement

For the salary payment I directed them to payslips which I have uploaded before they requested for supplementary docs.

For the withdrawal from my staff coop account I included bank statement of my current account from which I transferred the fund to my savings account, copies of cheques received from the cooperative and also made reference to deductions made from my salary as detailed in my payslips.

billydragon:

Yea.... they asked for detailed explanation and origin of deposits made into my account for a specified period.

For deposits relating to documents i have already provided i will make reference to d documents.


Wetin dey happen dis place just dull. adebasket97, iceberg54, sirkezman and others what's popping o

@sirkezman @iceberg54 a friend of mine in Finland adviced me against taking up d apartment from TOAS for about 290euros per month including facility fees. He advised me to get a roommate and split d costs. What do u think?.....

Tvegas:
Nicolas Otamendi has told friends he is "desperate" to move to Manchester United, as Valencia hold out for the defender's £35m release clause. Source : Daily mirror

my question is does he really worth that amount?

35M is his release clause. I believe we can get him for around 25M. He was d best defender in d La Liga last season.
And to your question.....If David Luiz was bought for around 50M ..... Otamendi is worth close to 35M

iceberg54:
Wow....Thats so quick!... At this rate, u will most likely get it in July.

Cheers bro.

I pray so o.

Kippis!!

adebasket97:
@olabode, u no use sponsor before?

I dey sponsor myself o

adexbaba010:
@Olabode, I got the same mail bro! i supposed u are the guy i met at the interview who told me to follow this trend. Please i go need ur audit skills too oooooooooo. Can u roger me ur digit so we could talk better. Expecting your reply.....

Lol..... Big chief....No wahala.... send me a mail via nairaland ASAP.

ooluseyipa:
@olabode Abegi which one be origin of funds again and don't u submit ur statement of account b4 ni?

Origin of funds means the source of the funds. For example;

1. If funds represents salary payment.... a payslip should suffice as origin of funds backed with employment letter.

2. Also some huge transfers from one account to another. A copy of the bank statement of the other account should suffice.

3. Rental income.... receipt and rent agreement should suffice as origin of funds.

etc.

sirkezman:
that was fast. you went to the embassy on the 11th right?

10 June 2015

This Migri people head they work well o.... I have been sent a request for supplementary documents, bank statement and origin of funds deposited in my account between a particular period.

I go display auditor skills for them lol.......... I hope they speed up the process and issue my RP before August.

Goskian:
My people, my people you are well done o! I salute everyone keeping this thread alive.

@Olabode89, our discussion refers. Have you gotten an offer from TOAS? I got an offer of a room today and they are asking me to pay 375 Euro on/ before 24^th June.

Bro!
I got Mikontalo.....243 euros per month plus additional facility cost of 45 euros per month.
I need to pay 375 euros before 24 June 2015 and i am broke at d moment...... i just weak.

elampiro:
Most of the time, it appears you don't read posts and comprehend before you comment. I just say make I check here today, I con see this. Part of the problem I had with you.

Abeg read that article again.

LMAO.... The article was all about paying top dollar for talents instead of giving opportunities to academy players or going all out for already established stars.

Paying 50M for Hurricane (Harry Kane) according to s article won't make sense.... It should b invested in an already finished product like Ibra, Suarez, Kun, Lewa, Huguain or Benz ir better still give Wilson a runout in d team.

When we paid 16M and 12M respectively for Jones and Smalling there were better and top class CBs that would have been snapped for 25M.

For me o.... If we want to sign a marque no 9 we should miraculously find a way to do away with Wazza. He is not the best no 10 in the team. D fat boi is a limiting factor to d squad.

sirkezman:
if u can raise the money, its worth it. i'll choose canada over finland a million times

Apart from the language and more opportunities for menial jobs what other factors influenced ur statement above.

Secondly are u judging Finland with Oulu as d benchmark? or taking into consideration bigger cities such Helsinki, Espoo and Tampere.

Jobs no too easy for Canada too o, depends on the province.

Abeg if u don't mind u fit lecture me on wetin dey on board.

adebasket97:
na so my brother. make I go fi jeje. I fit enter ca from there anytime. na 2years dm dash me. I fit differ thee admission sef.

I no fit carry 2.5 go pay fees. Ko jhoor for now

Lols....apa lo n je be....with dat 2.5M u go live well for FI without working sef.

Yes o to differ am go make sense sha.

Na UEF u dey go abi?
