Good evening everyone It is been a while I last updated this thread in respect of my current sojourn in the UAE. In some couple of hours I will be updating this thread with info regarding my stay in the city of Dubai and challenges I have encountered during the process.

maziude:

IamDavidJames:
Lol, so I have to print all the documents?? Even after having them in soft copy already and uploading it. I've uploaded all the documents already using the self service but I just got new documents that I will like to add.

odugbemiopeyemi:
Please house Is it necessary to scan a photo on A4 paper before uploading ? Or just scan the photo directly and upload it ?

I'm after the size of the photo because i read on tls website that all the documents should be on A4 paper size?

Visa Approved
Lagos Consulate
Alot of blue papers flying across board on that day.
I arrive lagos on Sunday all the hotels that was recommended here to me where fully booked that (it was showering so everywhere is abit cold) evening. Finally got one by 9pm.

My interview experience below:

She did more of typing/reading than asking me questions.

VO: Good morning and welcome, give me your 1-20/passport
Me: Good morning, here is it.
VO: Typed/read for about 1-2minutes, She then ask why do you want to study this course in this (She never mentioned the name of the school) school.
Me: I want to study this course in this school because of the research work of Professor James Madison which I believe can be easily transferred to case studies in the region where I am from in Nigeria (She looked at me with surprised). His research at the moment is on solute transport modeling of contaminant in groundwater, I believe the skills and knowledge I will acquire from working with him on this project will help me address the issue of groundwater contamination we are currently facing. The region where I am from, we are faced with a range of challenges one of which is groundwater contamination.
VO: Typed/read for another 1-2 minutes then she ask what will you do with this course?.
Me: I want to set up my own Environmental Consulting Firm to work with Federal Ministry of Environment and Water Resources in ensuring that there is access to clean water for everyone in the region.
VO: Typed/read for another 1-2 minutes then she ask I see you have a deficit ($10, 560), who is paying?
Me: My friend who is based in Canada (She looked at me)
VO: Is he a Canadian?
VO: No
VO: What is your relationship with him?
Me: He is my friend from childhood, we grew up in the same neighborhood. He is passionate about my plans of establishing my own consulting firm.
VO: What does he do
Me: He work with an SSS organization in Canada.
VO: Typed/read for another 1-2 minutes then she ask where do you work?
Me: I work with DYZ Services; we are into a range of work that include groundwater investigation and borehole development.
VO: Gave me the white paper and said I should follow the instructions on the paper.

Note:
What I notice on that day is that alot of persons are largely unprepared for the interview. There was this guy who built up his case very well and then the VO ask him where is the bank statement of his sponsor, he said he didn't bring it and that he had used it to apply for his 1-20 initial. There where others I can't mention here.

My interview wasn't as smooth as it is up there, but I ensured that I nailed all the points. After preparations pray to the being you serve. I prayed to God, because in my own case I cannot take God out of the scheme of thing (not by my power).

I just thought I should share this here.

I am not in support of Nigerians traveling out of the country, without a well funded plan on what to do when they arrive at their destination.
I find it strange that, there are some Nigerians that raise money just to travel out of the country in search of greener pastures, when there are a lot of opportunities here. A lot of times, they spend half or majority of the money raised on visas, agent fees, flight tickets and frivolous things, before they even get to their destination.

By the time they get to their destination, they don't even have a plan on what to do or how to settle down. They may even realise the money they have, would not even last them for long, they become stranded and easy prey for the worst of the worst of society.

It is indeed strange that some Nigerians can raise money to travel out but can't raise money to start a business here in Nigeria. Our government is bad no doubt. But there are a lot SMEs, BOI(Bank of Industry), N-power govt assisted programmes etc to help start up businesses.

In this same Nigeria that is hard, In this same Nigeria that Buhari is killing the economy, In this same Nigeria where there is no security, In this same Nigeria where inflation is high and unemployment is rampant, people making it legally. Those people that are making it, do they have 2 heads?

justwise:
I understand that but if they don't get the case on your side then you will end up paying more than £10k.

Wait till they start calling you names...

Our leaders are reflection of Nigerians. It is funny when people want to distinct them from us. Nigerians are extremely difficult people.

Abiodunnn:
Hello people,
Please I’m having issues downloading the IMM5257 form. How do i go about this?

mamawa123:
Don’t do that. This shit is not even guaranteed.

Go online pay for your appointment then check the appointment table frequently to see if a new date that is closer is open.

But why do Nigerians like to follow shady ways. It will be very difficult to kill corruption in this country because we are the ones aiding it.

In short, we the citizens are more corrupt than the crooked politicians in Nigeria

uhuogba:
Your Naira Cards won't work, even Nigerian bank's dollar card won't work because of the dollar limit restrictions.

Your best is P2P.

Find someone overseas who can pay and is willing to take naira.

If you haven't succeeded yet, reach out....I may help you out.

Your are not far from the truth. We only cannot take what we dish out, hence the noise.

LagosismyHome:
How do you differentiate between show off and living ones best life and buying finer things in life if one can afford it

I say that because I am currently doing the latter and its easy to judge that this is the former part

bangin:
