Joke of the century!! [b]You know a woman can't be married to 2men at same time righ[/b]t? Please advise @post on how he can move his plans forward �

For real......

Truth is the bitter truth thou and that's the only way she can adjust her stay. You think the woman will stay idle and be watching her kids not going to school, doing nothing for years......

Is it a very huge mistake to send kids and their mother abroad to stay illegally.
The only option is to come back home jejely

groovychik:
Some some ignorant person stating here that visas are given only for economic purpose. Which economic growth will trump someone travelling for two weeks and spending minimum of 4000 dollars. In my case I had no home ties apart from my dogs and Nephew. I own my own company, so no employer to answer to, making me a flight risk, so I could have easily been denied but I wasn't and I have gone and come home. I know some Nigerians are dubious but maybe it's time for them to start the UK method of verification, but what do I know?

Exactly...... I dont know how that embassy will verify genuine applicant. Their visa policy is nonsense

Asquare84:
If truly the problem of Nigerian is the country, I keep asking simply question Nigerian travel out to other countries to make money and better life the question is how come our citizen in those countries are arrested for drugs peddling, scam and robbery . I finally come to the conclusion that nothing is wrong with the country as geographic entity but the people both citizen and leaders . The simple truth change begins with you

You have spoken well........

All what Nigerians do is to blame the country, the country that is so much blessed with almost everything.

Nigerians are the problem. Both local and the diasporan.....
You claim the country has no future, you port enter America and still go over to shitty deal, they are always on fast lane, all they know is to become rich suddenly, lazy bunch of people.
To me, the country has no issue at all.....

The diasporan makes it very hard for genuine people to get visas, they wont abide by the laws, overstaying tourist visa, doing fraud and drugs...... Yet all they do is to blame the country.

The ones back home too have same mentality......
Get rich fast, embezzled everything, stealing.........
They always blame govt.... greediness has finished Nigerians.

I blamed the culture, tribe and religion mentality

Na the visa fee pain me for this one cos I wasn’t even planning on travelling with this visa. Only wanted to take advantage of the Dropbox and avoid interview that’s why I went to Renew it. Unfortunately they returned the passport after I submitted in March and asked me to reschedule an interview date.

It is well sha. Pls someone help me tell what is wrong with this in case of next time when I want to apply again. Thank u

Is this a joke........

WTF do they want.....

People need to free this embassy for now

sandraigho:
Hello,
Please what happens if someone missed his interview?
Will he have to reschedule again(using that same visa payment)or he has to make another Visa fee payment before trying to book for an appointment.

Pls do you successfully reschedule another appointment with the same visa fee?

OmoBendel24:
On what ground is it "a gonna" if I may ask? Has this person told you guys (s)he rescheduled an interview on that fee at least once before?

#BandwagonEffect

@Sandraigho; have you rescheduled your interview date/time on that fee at least once before? If you haven't, it's still valid. Call them up to reactivate it for you and then go ahead to reschedule your interview with it.

I have a friend with that scenario last year.
He got to d embassy late and he was denied entry.

He tried emailing them to reschedule him to no avail

Isn't reschedule 24hrs prior to interview?


I still doubt if he can use that visa fee for another interview.
Where is d guy sef, he should come to tell us how it went jare

abeniagbon:
to me the money is gone

Exactly
It's a gonna

123JohnF:
Yes, Nigerians abroad should help, Nigerian church in USA or Canada should help. But I am trying to explain, even with help it's almost impossible to survive as an immigrant with 2 kids and no help. Renting a place to live, if her kids are both the same sex, she needs to rent the 2 bedroom appt., 1 for herself, 1 for kids. If her kids are boy and girl, she will be required to rent 3 bedroom appt. Not cheap at all and it's not Nigeria, if they live in 1 room all together, Social Services take her kids. She can't rent a room as single people does renting rooms in a friends house, Nigerians won't help her in it because nobody wants to have a problems with the law, kids not eating well and not having minimal decent place to live are considered abused and she can lose her kids. School materials, the church can help but as a new immigrant she doesn't qualify for a cheap appt.

I would suggest, she immigrates alone leaving her kids with the family and after she has a job and place to live, she can bring her kids.

Good suggestion

See advices sha......
How do you know if the OP qualified to apply for Canada/US Express entry or PR?
Or you think is so easy to migrate legally when u are not migrating to west african countries

I think you guys should be able to help since you dey carry the matter for head nah

Oya to the diasporan, help the OP cos she seriously need your help. She already made up her mind.......

pufframmy:
pls i need advise reapplying soon

Work on your travel history, family ties with good acct statements

The bolded is very important

Elawnugo:
Good morning, I went for interview on Monday and my visa got denied
Me: Good morning
Vo: No reply
Vo: your passport pls
Me: here is it
Vo: why are you going to US
Me: for conference on applied physics and mathematics
Vo: how many days is your conference
Me: 2days
Vo: where are you going in US
Me : I told him
Vo:i can I see your invitation letter with any other documents with you
Me: yes.. I gave him the invitation letter with my appointment letter and the recommendation letter from my school
Vo : who is paying for your trip
Me: my mum
Vo: your mum not the school or the organization
Me: yes my mom is going to pay for my trip
Vo: av u traveled out of the country for any conference
Me: no
Vo: are you married
Me: yes and am blessed with a son
Vo : Have you traveled out of this country before
Me: no
Vo: sorry you are not eligible and he returned my passport

Please what do you think I did wrong is it because I have not traveled out before or my mum is paying for my trip or because am young... Am 27yrs old.. I don't understand. Am a lecturer earning good salary. What should I do if I want to apply for another interview if I want to go for another conference

*No travel history
*Not financially buoyant......

I think Nigerians need to free some embassies now if you dont have a very good profile like travel histories, very good job and healthy account statement.
We need to stop to dey troway our money anyhow

OmoBendel24:
And where was their “physical presence”, in the US? That’s is the one I’m saying is IMPOSSIBLE except someone is able to lecture me on this sha. That’s a major loophole that will hardly exist.... Your presence in the US from their records - especially with an overstay added - invariably means your visa cannot be renewed from what I understand. You guys are actually doing my head in right now, making me feel I’m the only one in the dark per a possibility!

Spot on..... I salute you.

But seriously u be Oga

Hi all,
Please im planning my trip to the UK by august/September.
I need a recommendation of which city is nice to stay for 7nights for someone in his early 30.. I want somewhere cheap and fun, it's my first trip in the UK. I actually dont know anywhere, just for tourist.

Just need to relax and do some sightseeing. If I see who can show me around too I dont mind o
Thx

Donbrig:
You guys should not write off our economy or naira yet. Lot of things will start happening as from 2020. You guys should be extremely careful with the buying of dollars. The importation of refined oil from overseas, causing huge demand for dollar is the biggest problem our naira and economy is having... Buhari will certainly put a ban on PMS anytime as from next year, and Dangote refinary will pick up with full effect, naira will experience unprecedented strength for the first time in decades. Most Domiciliary account holders will be compelled to maintain local account in naira.

High interest rates on t-bills might not be experienced anytime soon, rates might continue to reduce as our economy gets stronger and stronger with CBN encouraging more foods and goods to be produced locally, that's why CBN granted a whopping sum of 30billion naira to our local palm oil producers.

Nigerian oil marketers are already investing in our local sub refinaries in different states, because they have already seen the hand writing on the wall. In couple of months from now, business will no longer be as usual in Nigeria.


God bless Nigeria.

I'm actually waiting for these.....
I need naira to gain value.....
I wish naira can come down to 100naira to 1 dollar

Enick:
Thanks.
Let assumed I tagged it as a side business, we the ECO consider the sales invoices, receipt and another related document for an additional source of income.?

Considering the fact that it is not registered and does not have a designated business name, it is necessary to mention it?

How would you advice i handle the case ?

Submit your main job details and mention that briefly as side business.
Note: your main job will determine your approval

Spanishmilf:
i wan collapse

Lol why
U have a pending application ?

I dont think is possible for any country to ban student visa, it can only be too difficult to get approved

Spanishmilf:
Is it true that Trump as ban student visa

No.
Fake news

I'm not actually getting what's trending over here......
Are you guys saying TB is better than doing business?

Business is still your best bet in Nigeria, you have 10m u invest in NTB your interest per year is around 1.2m and you think doing business wont yield more than twice of that?
The main thing is dont go into any business you know nothing about.

And to the guy saying is bad running business from abroad, forget that...... some are doing it and making it big.

Treasury bill is just upgraded savings

Enick:
Thanks. I greatly appreciate your reply.

Honestly, you just opened my eyes to the cover letter error. The bank statement i submitted was from 1 Jan to 5 Aug, not June, so it actually beyond 6 months . That was a typo error which the ECO did not capture. Anyway it is all in the past and my focus is now on my next application.

The deposit was done far back in 2014 at 7% interest and i have never taken a penny out of it. So the current value is at all result of rolled-over profit for years+capital. It is possible to just ignore(never mention) that fixed deposit in my next application because the value has gone higher than what was before due to accumulated interest.

As for the self-employed section, i submitted receipt of my dealing with the establishment and the trucks registration documents having my name. The business is not register and does not have a designated bank account- it is simply like having cars taking passengers from Lagos to abuja daily and you ask the drivers to come settle you every weekend.

I don't know if "self-employ" is the right word to design such?

Once again, thanks.

That is your side business not self employ.......

Ibrofem:
Wetin be are you for real ?
Person talk say he cry you Dey ask, so make he dey download he start to Dey cry abii!?

People sha with their wahala

manneger2:

Are you for real

sentra05:
This is what i don't like. People just wasting spaces for others who genuinely want to migrate. Why bother going through the rigors of application process when you don't even know what you want.
The mistake a lot of Nigerians make is just migrating to another country without actually defining for themselves what they really want. Abroad is not for everyone.
From your post, i will advice you to stay back in Nigeria.
The only people i encourage to migrate are people who don't really place money over every other thing. People who don't feel happy about the rot in Nigeria and want to live somewhere where things are working. The truth is that the chances of making that 7 digits in Canada is low and for people who place too much value on money, it is either they go into crime to meet up or they come to nairaland, open a thread and be bad mouthing Cananda, US or other western countries they migrate to as if they country begged them to migrate.

Not everyone appreciate the clean environment, working systems etc that obtains in the western world. In fact, some people enjoy the chaos in Nigeria and will never function properly in the western society. I know some Nigerians over here who keep whining every time that they pay taxes.

@OP, my advice is stay in Nigeria to avoid regrets. It is obvious you did not even do your research very well and you don't seem to know what you really want.

@OP
If you didn't care about the money..... maybe you just dont like the situation of Nigeria. Then here's d best advice for you.
You choose

Mizwisdom:
7 figures question it depends on what he wants, from my observation some people don't take money as anything they prefer to live with whites so they can proudly say they're living among civilized people, it makes them feel good. His life, his business

Like seriously

Spanishmilf:
im not talking about money problem..... If you have folks who are in the USA during 90s USA visa was fucking visa some people don't wanna go because there are living their best life in Nigeria can you see d way trump as tighten the immigration policy now..... Canada visa is quite easy if you are truthful unlike USA which is 50-50, there will be a time Canada visa will be tough asf and he will have a flashback that had it been he had grab d opportunity...

Have you applied for Canada visa before?

Mizwisdom:
7 digits monthly income? hmm how can someone of your grade be asking this question? you can go and start life from beginning, the power that raised you up here will still do it there, meanwhile are there openings in the company?

I still wonder why some Nigerians are like that.....

Nigerians are not smart enough at all.

You are very comfortable and still went ahead to apply for one PR.....

Some are saying future kids, only a dumb will be earning 7 figure as salary and wont plan something better for him and his future kids.......

Seven figures as salary is more than enough to plate a very good assets and investments for future purpose.

Anyways I hope the OP can replace me with that job.... So he can enjoy his Canadian PR.


Madam wizdom do you think the OP is making sense?

lovesavvi:
Pls i got appointment of july 12 at ikeja but i want to fo walk in , pls what time can i go gor walk in or am free to go anytime at tls ikeja. Thanks

Try to be there by 10am.
Walk in cost 42k, have your debit card with you.....

ssgi4in1:
My employment letter clearly stated the terms of my employment. I have it attached.

But wait oooo
How come you have a turnover of 50m while u are working with a company on commission? Is it that you are using your savings account for company transactions?
As a commission earner, embassy frown with it as it does not stand as a good tie on employment part......

Spanishmilf:
what are you saying 23%........... If Nigeria overstayers is 23% then USA visa should not be that difficult I can google now, or check quora and it will bring me another statistics

I don't think its necessary to quote that guy

Beautyaddy:
Yes, that's the current trend that has been happening over decades now but became more noticed now after the visa lottery for Nigerians stopped.

Either way, one cannot blame most Nigerians misusing their F1 or B1/B2 visas.

The US immigration has some very weak loop-holes that most non-immigrants are taking advantage of to legalize their stay once they get to the US.

One of the most commonly used and fastest one is when a person who got into the US through the visiting or student visa decides to get married to a US citizen after three months of his/her arrival into the US and then the US citizen files a petition for a green card for that's non-immigrant spouse...as long as the couple can prove that the marriage is real and not just for immigrant purposes.

And yes most Nigerians are very good with convincing their US citizen spouses that they are really in love with them...lol!

Exactly my point.....

So why US embassy complaining of visa misused

Genuine applicant will be denied while they issued visa to d wrong side.

OmoBendel24:
I believe this one too



But abeg, prolong am, please. That stats can never be correct. Unless you are quite quite young and all you have come to see and know is just recently. A lot of our folks left in the 70s, 80s and 90s, mostly grandparents now with generations of Americans being their offshoot, immigrant visas via parents, spouses, siblings, children, etc are still accounting for a good number of Nigerian moving to the US. There’s the F1 and H1B categories too....

B1/B2 Overstay used to be minimal till only just lately, maybe even less than 5 years now and actually spiked astronomically in the last 1-2 years! The way Nigeria is currently is contributing a whole lot to this mess, so many financially comfortable people exiting Nigeria just like that, it’s tiring and shameful.

I no get liver to argue, I gave up easily.......

And yes with over a decade now my stat is very correct

hammed71:
you mean they are us citizens now?

Yes some might be a citizen by now.

Spanishmilf:
i won't lie all d people that I know that they are in USA they enter through b1b2

Exactly
Everybody knows that but some just like to pretend.
Even I believe some of the Nigerian American on this thread also japa with b1b2 and f1 visa.
