Why are the pillars of this house not protected. A drunk or inexperienced driver can hit one of them while attempting to park.

Nigerians are the primary problem of Nigeria.

When you realize that the hype was not worth it.

This is very unfair to President Tinubu.

His son trying to help the less privileged during Ramadan and some people are criticizing him? The North should have better treatment than just food? Abeg, who will feed them if not food? I hope he continues with his humanitarian work and ignore the critics.

Stealing food that belongs to a person and giving him crumbs is not help.

Robbing a man of his house and renting the gate man house to him is not help

In victory know when to stop.

This is Nigerian politics where the characters are not nice but very savage

Although Burna Boy may not be directly involved in the activities associated with Diddy, I contend that the narrative surrounding the Lamborghini serves as a diversion intended to redirect public attention away from the aforementioned proceedings related to Diddy.

Wetin i know sef?

It's a possibility. And she gets paid for her service.

oga na anybody dem see dem dey deport. Most of the ICE are illiterate white supremacists. They even sent a French journalist back for criticizing Trump. They also held a Canadian for 2 weeks before sending her back. They sent another to maximum security prison for having Real Madrid logo tattoo. Most European countries are advising against traveling to the US at the moment. The US is likely done and will almost certainly collapse before Trump leaves office. They're on the way to becoming a big North Korea

We don't pray for that. The US will stand strong. It is one of the best places to become somebody irrespective of your background

koladata:
if the daughter has filed for her the uncle won't be requesting for prayer. Meanwhile what trump said and has been doing is, as long has you are not a legal residence of USA, you are going home.

No wahala. That one no affect me.

koladata:
see how you confidently gave a completely wrong information. USA doesn't issue more than 2years visa for a first timer and you are not suppose to spend more than 6months living in usa with that visa, you can go and revisit because it is usually multiple entry visa. Apparently she has spent about 7 years on a 2years visa and that makes her an illegal residence of the country.

I do not know the specifics of her situation and not support her overstaying her visa in any way.

Nevertheless, for her to come and look after her grandchild in the first place, it is likely that her own child is a us citizen and would have filed an adjustment of status and this may take time for a variety of reasons.

Being out of status is not the same as illegal immigration. Entering the US illegally is not the same as over staying your visa. One has records, the other has none.

A person that overstayed a visa has a pathway to citizenship, person without any arrival record and no entry visa at all has no pathway to citizenship and there are millions of them in the USA that ought to be deported.

another of my uncles wife is in usa and her husband said we should pray so she doesnt get deported.. she no get paper.. she travelled via visit visa for omugwu

imagine pesin wey neva send me shishi before

say ,make i pray that immigration should not start going from house to house

she travelled in 2018 and have been doing nanny work since.. she senfds moni home.. her hubby is building house in the village



trump deport more nigerians jare

Those are not illegal immigrants. They already have an entry record and the woman has more likely than not filed for an adjustment of status to become a green card holder.

Illegal immigrants are those who walked across the border without any recorded documentation of identity or entry records.

There is a very big difference.

Whenever I see mortal men claiming to be strong men. I just laugh.

May we never jam the thing wey pass us.

The children may not be his...the level of hatred it takes to conspire and kill your father. It is still no justification for what they did.

Sad thing was the man gave the wife money, bought a car for her, yet she still wanted everything not minding killing him.

He needs to put them in prison and forget that they exist.

Why would Raphinha leave Barca and go to United.

What has he done. Am curious to know.

budaatum:
Her oral responses were obviously not convincing, and neither was her paperwork it would seem, since her responses to financial queries would just have been her stating what was already in her paperwork which she ought to know.

That said, you are not teaching me how to get a student visa since I have no need for one, but I am certain the op would have learnt from our discuss and would perform better next time.

I wish you luck Ola1ola1. Do let us know how you fare.

I'm not teaching you how to get a Visa. I am filling in the "gaps in your knowledge" to show and prove that she was denied the visa not because she did not provide proof of funds, but that she was denied in spite of providing proof of funds that...because providing that proof of fund is a part of the application and does not guarantee that the application will be granted.

The information may not be of any practical use to you, but if you are receptive you would have learned how the process works.

I know of somebody who had a full scholarship of tuition and stipend for living expenses. The person was denied a Visa because he could not orally convince the VO of having strong economic ties which in turn implies that he would come back after studies.


There is a way to structure your responses to the VO that meet all three criteria. Her response to the course of study question was too short.

She ought to have explained why she chose the course , why she chose that particular school who she was in regular contact with and how completing the programe will have a positive impact on her future career.

Her response to the sponsor question is below par. She said her dad is a business man who sells and supply fabrics to western states. That is a semi vague response as it contains no concrete info.

She could have elaborated on how she decided what course to study, why she choose the school and how the studies would concretely accelerate her career and how she talked to her dad who said it was a great idea and decided to give her full support.


Her oral responses were minimal and unconvincing by interviewing standards and that is why she was denied.

budaatum:
And I expect she would have stated the school in the application and provided evidence of admission for the school, and if given the opportunity, would also have given reasons for her course and school and country.


Where did you get that she was refused because she had no valid reason to travel? Is going to study not a valid reason to want to travel?

I agree her application was easy to deny. Evidence for her tuition fees, at the least, should have been provided so there'd be no need to ask her for it again.

Don't worry. You are talking way more thank listening and because you are not listening you are not learning anything new.

When you number is called , you go before the Visa officer and after the greetings you hand over all your supporting documents. From Passport, I-20 ( which contains the school admission information) to bank statements.

The ViSA officer takes a cursory look at them and begins to ask questions while confirming the information that you already presented.

A valid reason to travel in her case means she needs to convince the VO by her response that she genuinely wants to go to school in spite of the documents she presented and does not have other intentions.

The next thing to convince the VO of is that there is funds available or will be available to fund her education. It is only after convincing the VO orally that he will bother to even take a more detailed look at the bank statements that you already handed over at the beginning.

The third thing you want to convince she needed to convince the VO of is that she has enough social and economic ties that will make her return home after her studies. Living parents, young children, a thriving business, landed property, leave of absence from work all fit into this category.

The interview did not even get to that stage because her responses were way to short and tepid. Everything depends on the quality of your responses.

The whole interview successfully or usually does not take more than 3- 4 minutes.

It is your convincing oral responses that will make the VO even double check your packet to confirm that it is okay to issue the Visa.

It is a default NO until you convince me to give you a YES mode of interview.

Her oral responses were simply not convincing enough. But there is no doubt that she submitted financial proof of funds to cater for her schooling.

You can't even get the I-20 from the school that will.permit you to attend the interview in the first place without your bank statements.

I have said more than enough.

budaatum:
I never said she was "denied because of a lack of financial evidence"! She herself said she was denied after questions about her finances!


Her response would have been supported by her evidence I would have thought, and since it wasn't, she was refused. Basically, her evidence was not comprehensive enough.


Could you elaborate on how you know she provided financial evidence please, since they asked her for evidence of her finances, which is unlikely to have been the case if the evidence had been provided already?

Can you show where in her post that the visa officer requested for financial evidence.

If you know the procedure, you will know that once you stand before the officer, you hand over everything you brought at a go.

I am just amused that you can be talking convincingly and unnecessarily about a process you have not experienced yourself.

The Visa officer is looking for the applicant to prove three things before a visa can be approved. Proof of funds is just one of them.

She was not denied because she did not provide financial evidence...because it is mandatory to present for her class of visa.

From the conversation, they did not even get to the third one as she failed the very first one which is " a valid reason to travel"

Why? She did not mention her school, she did not mention her course of study nor did she talk about why she chose the country, school and course.


So because the visa officer concluded that she had did not have a valid reason to travel, it was easy to deny and not even bother with the third criteria.

I dey sure sey na agent help am process the admission and fill all the forms and they told her not to talk too much.

budaatum:
I don't know why you are bothering to do what it is you are doing at all.

Proof of funds is not an optional document for a student visa interview. It is an integral part of the application. Though doesn't guarantee a visa since that's not all that is looked at.

Unfortunately, financial evidence seems to have been lacking in this application, which I hope applicant corrects next time.

No wahala. Let me leave you to you. If she provided proof of funds as an integral part of the process, how could you now reach the conclusion that she was likely denied because of a lack of financial evidence.

As one who has gone and guided a good number of others through the process successfully, and a handful who did not succeed with their interview, I know that her responses were not comprehensive enough.

She is probably one of those who had been advised not to say much...hence her giving short answers that are not convincing enough.

She likely had an agent do the whole application and visa officers can smell that easily which indicates that the student may not have a genuine desire to go to school thereby failing one of the three tests that are required to be passed for the officer to grant a visa.

I know she provided financial evidence but she failed to pass the remaining two criteria required.

budaatum:
That's why her documents should all be in order to start with. She could after all included documentation showing her funds source, as some have advised here.

I hope Ola1ola1 has learnt from this thread, and I wish better outcome next time.

I don't know why I am bothering to do this with you. Proof of funds is not an optional document for a student visa interview. It is an integral part of the application.

Presenting it does not guarantee a visa approval.

I've had someone get a full masters scholarship ,yet was denied.

In her case, what I see is too short and tepid answers that failed to change the mind of a visa officer who already had an inclination not to issue the visa.

Na only God know wetin happen

budaatum:
I doubt I need to simply ask, since I wouldn't be giving her the visa she requires.

Besides, she already implied she did not present by her "he has set aside sufficient funds". If she'd provided evidence of her set aside funds she would not have been asked for it again.

She was not asked for anything again. She was told she was going to be denied and her documents were returned to her.

budaatum:
I'm not the one she applied for visa from.

If she had the required evidence, she should have provided it when asked, and would hopefully learn for next time instead of giving too short and tepid answers unbacked with evidence.

Why not simply ask her instead of assuming that she did not present.

being:
Truth is Akpabio made a subtle pass at her.. but then she is used to that and it wasnt a problem for her... She only found it convenient to bring it up now thinking it will overshadow her unruliness

Subtle pass ke...when ball don likely enter the net already.

Leave these two alone.

budaatum:
She gets her facts and documents straight for starts, instead of hoping her message is clear when it obviously isn't.

If she answered questions like she's mentioned Abuja Embassy here, they'd assume she's ill prepared and will likely refuse her, again.

There is no how you will get an I-20 from the school to go for an interview without submitting evidence of finances...so assuming that she did not have it is because you simply don't know the procedure and that is why I asked if you have ever applied before.

Her answers were way too short and tepid.

budaatum:
No, I haven't ever applied for a US school before, but I doubt I'd ever apply for a US school at Abuja Embassy.

I'd likely go to the USA embassy in Abuja instead, and with all my ducks in a row, since I'm certain they can't wait to refuse me otherwise.

Her message was loud and clear. Na you dey find wetin no loss.

Without her spilling the back story, we understand how she got an interview. Which is the Kokomo of her enquiry...how does she prepare for a successful outcome at her next interview.

budaatum:
Abuja Embassy? Were you seeking visa for Abuja?

You wouldn't have been asked how your education would be funded if you had provided evidence of the funding you had, I think. You said, is not evidence.

Have you ever applied for a US school before?

olaolaking:
But Amakas told us protesters are never arrested in sane lands. I wonder how a tribe will continue to breed fools in multitude

They were arrested for trespassing a private property. The owner of the building has a right to shoot them dead 8f iy was a single home.

TheOldGods:
but a woman who also never built with him, never paid his school fees, help him at all, can come into his life when he has made it and he will go and buy her a car,take her on expensive restaurant etc.
Sometimes you people need to think before typing. So cause my dad never helped me in my growth I should abandon him, but grow a complete stranger

Sometimes it's not as simple as that. The negative things he might have said to them. The maltreating of their mother or even the kids. You never know.

Some traumas don't just heal with time.


The best we can do is to ask him to try and forgive and do his duty...cause he can never love that man again.
