mhoreh: Good evening everyone, please I need your help
Can I submit a 3 months bank statement alongside a 4 month dollar MF bank statement
So the issue is that, I used most of my money for a farm investment earlier in year and the return came back in June which I’m not sure if I’ll be able to prove it as it’s a friends farm that I invest in and he returns my capital and interest as agreed. I do not have any documents to back this up
So my initial plan was to print my Naira statement for 3 months, which starts right after the lump sum came and then submit the mutual fund for 4 months
But I saw on the new IRCC portal that 4 months bank statement should be submitted and I’m confused as to how to go about this
Please I’ll like suggestions on how to go about this I will advise you to wait for the four months if the mutual fund doesn't have enough funds to satisfy the sufficient amount required. It is better to do it well and be approved than to gamble and be denied. |

freshStarz: Good morning guys How else can I get recommendation letters, I am not in close touch with any of my university lecturers as I graduated since 2014 Try to get at least one of your formal lecturers. Your current supervisor at work, line managers, or previous employers are fine. You can combine, I.e., academic plus work. I used this method then. |

Poormanpikin: 😭😭😭 @Efetobore and GboyegaD please help  The AI responded to your question appropriately based on how you put the question, since you didn't feed it well. If you obtain a full-ride scholarship, including a tuition waiver, health insurance, and stipends, you will probably have a zero deficit, i.e., the cost of attendance will be equal to the financial assistantship remuneration. I like your energy! Keep the fire burning. I will choose Florida from the list of locations you mentioned earlier. Even though cities in each state have their differences in terms of cost of living. |

Royals1st: Please, brothers and sisters, can someone advise me on how to upload a bank statement that is almost pages long? Also, when applying with my wife, should I create a separate account on IRCC or can we submit together? Any advice would be appreciated.
And how many months of bank statements are required? Compress the document using ilovepdf.com to less than 2 MB. You can create a group account for your family, but you will still have to fill out the form for each individual separately. Make sure you make the application fee for both of you on the same day and choose the same date for biometrics so that both cases can be treated together. This is what I did for my family. |

Trueigbo: can i attach my office introduction letter (including my employment letter) to embassy here If you are applying for a visitor visa, don't use that means to upload your employment letter; that is meant for people who got jobs in Canada. Use the additional document location to upload all your documents you believe you want to share with the visa office. You can merge the documents together and compress them to a clear size less than 2 mb. Best. |

[quote author=Oluwaseunz10 post=130638644][/quote]From the thread, it shows that IRCC is currently attending to applicants who did their biometrics in January. Your friend may receive his decision by August. The processing time for visiting visas in Nigeria is currently 175 days on their website. |

anid54: Date received:
Feb 10, 2024 vacation visa to Canada
Still no update since the day submitted after finger print feb 19 have they abandoned the application ? I am thinking of re-submission of new application
I have valid UK and Europe visa. Looks like they have abandoned the APPLICATION. If you resubmit another application, you will have to start all over and wait for like six months again. You have at least 2 months left for this current application. Just try to chill; it will get to you. Having a US visa might have made it faster. The current visitor's visa estimated processing times for Nigeria is 173 days; even the current estimated processing times for the UK is 200+ days. |

Eberebee: Hi Everyone,
Please what does primetime appointment mean on the TLS site when trying to select a biometrics date? It means you will have to pay 77k to book an appointment, which gives you flexibility in your appointment time. I think it is cheaper than the other option, i.e., premium lounge, which costs 99k. |

I am aware that a 2-year-old child does not need to do biometrics for a UK visiting visa. Can I book an appointment for myself and take her international passport along? Do I need to book an appointment for her on the TSL site to submit her international passport and digital passport? Because I can only see premium appointments since three days ago on their site. Please, your advice is highly welcome. |

Primetouch1: Good Morning guys ,
How do I update my Ds-160 Form ? My interview is stated for Monday what and what should I go with.
Thanks Go to the DS-160 page website, select the location you chose earlier, and click on retrieve. Put your current application ID and your information as requested, then submit. You will receive a prompt stating that you have submitted your application with two options. Choose the second option that leads you to continue, not the one that leads you to print the confirmation page. This will lead you back to your form, but this time with a new DS-160 application ID number. Your form will remain the same. Update what you need to update and submit. Go to your CGI profile to update the new DS-160 application ID number. Please do this at least 72 hours before your interview. |

deeteeneey:
Hello,
I completed DS-160 in Aug 2023 and have an interview scheduled for the first week of March. My international passport expired this month, and I have obtained a new one. I travelled for the first time ever to UK in December 2023. The new passport number and travel experience was not in my original DS-160.
I have completed a new DS-160 to include my new passport number and UK travel experience. I was able to edit my DS-160 confirmation number on CGI portal. I attempted to update the passport number by sending feedback on the CGI portal with copy of my passport, MRV receipt and confirmation page of new DS-160 but received an email today stating that they could not update the passport number.
My question is: Can I attend the interview with my new DS 160 which now has a different passport number from what is on MRV receipt and appointment letter? I will be going with both new and old passports. Thank you
You should be fine once you have your old and new passports with you. |

Yes, the university will accept the SOA from an overseas sponsor. If you can explain your relationship with your sponsor and why he or she wants to sponsor you, I don't think there's anything wrong with using him or her as your visa sponsor. NB: Be sure of what the person is doing abroad and how he or she got there. Immunity04: Hi all. Please I just got an offer for my M.A. My prospective supervisor and program coordinator asked me to wait till month end to know the amount of funding, Scholarship,and stipend they could offer.
Now my question is, if there is a funding deficit after the award, would the University accept an SOA from a sponsor in the UK to issue my I-20, since that is where my sponsor lives?
Secondly, will this same foreign SOA be a red flag at the American embassy in Nigeria during visa interview? |

Doyou2019: Barely three weeks after capturing in Festac of all offices I hope they won't look at my capturing date on my slip and with the quickness kick me out tomorrow. I mean in Festac, registruants wait at least two months or three before getting their pali. Why is mine different? I am finding your inquiry suspicious! You said your connect told you it was out. Why are you now clouding this place with questions about if it is out? And double quoting the response from people with good intentions of DIY. since you know it takes 2 to 3 months for DIY. If what you are claiming is the truth, then you probably paid your way up; why are you surprised it works? Or do you have other intentions? Maybe people should be running after you for how you did it, which feels like a scam to me. |

** Also, do I need to cancel the previous appointment date before requesting for an emergency appointment?
*** Finally, I want to join the Lagos search group, how can I join please?
Your response will be highly appreciated. You don't need to cancel anything. Just reschedule your appointment and print the new appointment page. For EA, you can't apply for EA without a scheduled date. So you don't need to cancel again. Best. |

I need certain clarification on Emergency Appointments. I applied for EA, I got a message that it was approved and i should click "Reschedule" to pick a new date, on clicking reschedule, I found that the available dates are for 2024, far beyond my current appointment date. So I need to understand if these dates also change like the regular appointment available dates or they will remain static at 2024, in which case I can make use of it.
I will appreciate any advice or direction in this regard. Thank you. It will change before the deadline given to you. Keep checking for nearer dates. You can also mail or call them if you don't see a nearer date in a week to the deadline. Best. |

Can I apply for EA now or wait till it is 60days am currently in dubai and I am to attend interview there. Since your appointment is in a foreign country, I can't categorically tell you to apply for it or not, but many people applied for it in Nigeria Consulates without considering the 60 days rule, and their EA were approved this week. Same thing happened last year. What I noticed is that most of the applicants that got their EA approved are fresh candidates without denial before. |

HDwayne: Yes, I requested for an EA in December but it was later ‘canceled’ not denied coz I got an appointment thru the priority surge date. Even at that, i think a new MRV should give me me at least 2 EA attempts if I’m not mistaken, coz I requested once and got denied and now the EA option is not showing again. I’m just so confused. My program start date is June 9.I need help. You can only have 2 EA attempts in a location. Since you changed location, you have exhausted all attempts. You can only check for earlier date by joining group looking for date. You can't request an emergency attempt with this Mrv fee again. Best. |
