Hello?

Anyone with this email from Croydon DMC? I just want to know if this generic or specific to some applications.

Biometrics completed June 11, 2024. Email was received today June 14, 2024.

1. Any chances of visa approval from past expedience?

2. How long did it take to get a decision from the date of receipt?

*******************************************
Thank you for your visa/entry clearance application which has been received and is under consideration. We aim to process non settlement applications within 15 working days and settlement applications within 60 working days (unless you have opted for a Priority Visa service).

Hello house, any experience about this? Thank you.

GboyegaD:


Late 2025/early 2026? I thought they had resolved this backlog. Is it possible for one to go for an interview in a neighboring African country?

freshStarz:
Good afternoon guys

Can I get a USA visit visa against going next month (July) if I apply by this time?

BiyiTudors:
Hi Opeyemi007,

How did you get it overturned?

Break88:




Congratulations brother. Please what email did send to coz I might just withdraw mine too. Thank you

Peledonomy:


Thanks for this.

I just need a some clarity on the following.

1. If we go for the inter family visa, will this serve our purpose as we have no intention of returning?

2. I missed out an important detail earlier. The lady he is married to is of a Nigerian decent. She was born in US. She has never been to Nigeria though. They met in UK.
Will this inter family awareness visa still work? Since we are all Nigerians?

2. If we want to wait for like 4 years for my brother to gain his grounds, what kind of visa are we going to be getting?

3. Can we get a job with any of the visas in questions 1 and 2 above?

Thanks

I was at TLScontact office today to use their walk-in option to submit my Italian visa application but I was told the option is no longer available, I can’t book an appointment on their platform, their contact on their website is not working. My intended date of travel is 24th April, 2024. Can anyone help me with a way I can go about it. Is it possible to submit at the Italian consulate directly?

Sh3ba:
I got my passport,
My visa was approved,
I am a first timer,
I got a one month and 15 days visa.

But the programme I am going for has ended because I didn't get an appointment on time.

gunwexy:
Good day house, hope everyone is doing fine? Pls, I just got my second visa refusal to Netherlands from france embassy this year one in February and the second March despite that I've traveled to the Netherlands before 2009 and I didn't over stayed. I was told in the letter that I will nit leave the member states after expiration. Pls, who can guide me on how to appeal. The letter states that I can appeal to nante, is it this same with Netherlands as with france. Pls help a brother. Thanks.

Aussie2doc:
There is. It depends on the mood of the immigration officers. I got stamped twice in the last two years out of about 8 entries .

Mzwealthy:
Good Morning. Pls i would appreciate your input. We just arrived the US today for a short stay but myself and my husband noticed d immigration officer after taking our finger prints and snapping us didnot stamp our Visa page with d 6 months stay. So right now we don't ve any visual evident on our passport that we entered d US. Pls is this d new method cos d last time we were here as in 2018 and they stamp u in for 6 month . Thnk you for your response.

Izanghi:


She earns around #333k as a banker and additional income of around 20 million. Will 6 months bank statement be enough?

Izanghi:
Hi, everyone. I am a student in USA, but my wife is going on a 4 day tourism visit, she's planning to see some tourist places with no prior travel history, she has a US denial. She works in one of the top banks in Nigeria, and her bank has given her an introductory letter. She is presenting around £4,400 and planned to spend #6 million for the 4 days visit.

So my questions are these:
1) Does she needs a sponsorship letter from me, as she is already stating she's funding herself but gets additional income from me which she will be presenting through her domiciliary bank statement that shows that I normally send money to her.

2) will £4000k+ be enough proof of fund for a 4 days UK visit to London or she should pick some other cheaper UK cities to visit?

3) Is cover letter and hotel booking reservation necessary?

Thanks. I am looking forward to all replies I can get to help her application. God bless you all

Milito:


Not yet.

There are rumours Italian embassy had some issues and did not work on applications for a while. 🤷🏽‍♂️ 🤷🏽‍♂️

GabbyHonda:
Please for a Canadian Visitor visa where a sibling is inviting me, my husband and our 2 toddler kids, how much do we say we plan to spend for the trip. I mean how best do we answer that question - How much money do you have for your stay in Canada? (In Canadian dollars - CAD) [b][/b]

I need guidance so we wont go and put something too small that will jeopardize our application.. My hubby and I have paid office jobs so we have payslips to tender plus a flat and the documents of a flat we own.

We are saying we are both co sponsoring the trip.

Please advise

Readymove:
Can i use downloaded Bank statement for visa application?

AbdulAkpan:
Please, I need sincere answers?

What is Shengen VISA all about?

If I travel to Netherlands with the Visa, can I work with it?

If I cant work with it, what must I do to be able to continue my stay in Netherlands?

Thanks

Mabeliz:
Pls how do I check the status on my visa application ?

gabson02:

Please I want to ask if they do walk in at Italy consulate in Walter carrington Lagos… I learnt walk in is meant for first time traveler.

Kunleop:
My mum was granted a 6month visit visa and she staying for 4month,

Can i book the flight from february to july for that period of 4month. Kindly note that i stated in the application that she staying for 1month.

@cashmadam, @giselle430@ AmeliaT.

Kindly advice if i can go ahead to book the flight for the 4month period or i should book one 1month.

Thank You

stfadaanthony:
Thanks to everyone here. Asking this question out of curiosity. If I am to book my flight as a visitor to Canada, is it a must to book my return ticket too? Or simply tell the boarder officer you will be booking after the conference. Saying this to safe cost.

Finelolo:
How do I book a room with free cancellation in USA

OyoTunjiUSA:


Hey 🤠

If you attend your visa interview with your present mindset your visa might be denied . You do not have to work in oil company or bank or MTN before you can secure a US visa. Even if you re a roadside Vulganizer your intention and genuineness of purpose as well as proof of financial ability to fund your trip is what the US embassy look out for.

1. In your DS 160 indicate that you are Self -employed /Business man or Importer & Exporter.

2. Your family back home as well as your house in Abuja and other businesses you do are enough home ties for you to return to , therefore you do not have any fear to fear on home ties .

3. Big questions you should prepare to answer are :

** Why are you going to the USA ?

** Will the wedding not take place if you did not attend ?

*** Who will fund your trip ?

*** Have you traveled out of Nigeria before ?


Best Wishes 🙏

Ziko2u2:
Hi everyone
Please I am married and want to japa to Portugal on a Schengen visa. My question is will it be possible to bring my family over if I succeed.

vinci500:
Hey guys I have two questions, any tips and advice will be greatly appreciated.

Question 1: I am attempting to apply for a visit visa for my sister and her family (husband and one daughter). She has been denied twice.

First time: She went with her daughter, they were both denied. (Invitation was for my graduation in 2019). Interview was at the consulate in Abuja

Second time: She went with her kid and husband, they were all denied. Interview was in Lagos. (2022)

I want her to apply again, as I think she was ill prepared both times based on my conversations with her after both interviews. I haven't seen them in about 6 years, and I'd love to have them visit for a few weeks as I recently just became a PR via Eb visa. What would you suggest we do differently this time? I want to be more involved and precise in the application process this time to avoid repeating the same mistake and will gladly welcome any advice or scrutiny you may have. I still believe it's possible for them to get a visit visa, so I don't want to lose hope.

Question 2: What are the current timelines for getting an interview date, and are there any legitimate ways to secure a date in 2024 without negatively impacting their immigration aspirations?


Thank you in advance for your contributions, grateful for a platform such as this.

collarfreak:


Thanks for the insightful explanation. Were you asked to show them the cash you have at hand for PTA at the point of entry? Thanks so much
