Just to let u guys know i got the civil partnership visa , submitted my application along side with necessary documents. I also included my original birth certificate and had a lawyer to write that when i obtained my first passport there was a mistake from the immigration on my DOB and now i have obtained a new passport with my original date of birth .

I was called for interview after 10days i submitted my application and was just asked some few questions about places i claimed have been for holidays with my partner , how old is my partner .

Thanks guys for all your contributions.

Akolawole

u have been nice in this thread helping people,u have answer my question in this thread,but what i will let u no is that many people who dnt contribute in this thread are looking for opportunity like this to post insults,but i believe in your faith and the truth is that you have said you mind that you dnt like it because the bible say so,just have it in mind that on the day in heaven you will be praise that you stand for CHRIST.and i will like you to help him but stay away fro the gay issue,as he has the right to say he is gay and proud of it so do every body has the right to say what ever they want as far as they dnt pass insult,but honestly i believe the guy is not GAY or he just i typical 9ja guy trying to get paper,because what with the way he describes his partner the guy is rich, the 1st day i ask i question in this thread i lied but funkybaby told me if i dnt open up they might not be able to help me and as soon as i said the truth i got all i want so easy with paying any body visa fee,so i will advice my guy to be open am not sayingg he is not sayin g the truth but i believe he is still hiding sometin.with the money his partner have to buy him house every where if he is saying the truth he should just get him immigration lawyer.he never said any tin about his partner plan Na only him plan he dey talk about.i have been in this position b4 and i no when person dey lie.

Am kinda lost with whatever greek you typed out above , I used to be the UK freak type some years ago but after have been around europe and see the way of life of some people (I shake my head), I enjoy summer all round and that is why i love thailand .

Am not trying use am GAY to get visa and the reason i posted here is not for people to accept my sexuality ( i dont bring my shit to anyone's face , i keep my shit in the closet where it belongs , being gay is the least part of me )

There are some issues immigration lawyers cant really handle , am here to get first hand advice (people who might have had the same difficulties as mine )

Am moving to UK because my partner was transferred there and after he resigns we moving back to thailand (This is the genuine reason)

Finally , I think it is wrong for you to assume that someone is lier because you are .

@ Pataki

Am so surprised with some of the words you ve used here .

"gay dickheads"
U nearly said  all homosexual are retards .

It seems really this topic is driving you mad and it will keep driving you mad if u continue .

No one will agree with each other and all you guys will end up using words you might regret using later in life

I thought this forum is for you guys to lay down your opinions and move on but it seems if A does not agree with B the next thing is insult and cursing , i really wonder how some of u guys will advance in life if cursing and insult is the best way to say out your opinions.

ADVISE : U GUYS SHOULD GIVE IT A BREAK OR RATHER MATCH TO NATIONAL ASSEMBLY AND PROTEST FOR THEM NOT TO ALLOW GAY UNION.

Reading this  forum as gave me a clear view of things and causes of some problems in Nigeria

1. If my beliefs does not agree with  my beliefs , the next solution is  to rain abuse on eachother and  KILL

2. Homosexuality is not the genre i agree , what if one your sons was lure into it and came to tell you that DAD AM GAY , the next solution is throw him and stone him to death ?

I hope some of your kids will come to NairaLand  someday and read what some of you have posted , if u teach your children to discriminate people for their  sexuality and not looking at the positive of them and insulting who ever does not agree with your beliefs of your "god", I wonder what the future  gonna be like .

There is more to someone than just is sexuality , why dont you look at the good side and stop judging people by their  sexuality .

Like i sad earlier i am not supporting gay union in Nigeria but passing a law to put the in jail , stone to death is barbaric

I read somewhere here that "lets call a spade a spade"  where as someone posted that " pre-marital sex , abortion is a norm and a grey sin "
Lets call a spade a spade then ,  A SIN IS A SIN.

AM NOT SAYING ANYONE SHOULD BELIEVE IN WHATEVER I BELIEVE IN , BUT NO ONE SHOULD INSULT OR PASS DEATH JUDGMENTS TO THOSE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THIER BELIEFS .

sarj:

@AKO
U should firstly look into the mirror, apologize to Phuket then move to the religious section,

Thanks for your concern sarj , but honestly Oga Akolawole does not owe me or anyone apology . He stated what he believes in and i really respect his beliefs.

Lets move on please i did not brought up my case here to discuss sexuality , i just had to state that am gay in the post so you guys could have a deep understanding of my story .

Once again, thanks all for your contributions.

Pataki as you said this post should kept for future references .

Will keep my english very simple and clear.

I respect everyone's opinion and i hope mine will respected also , am not into name calling so wont insult anyone here  but i cant believe how some people have stripped so low just in defense of homosexuality  (Insults and names are never knew existed)

Am Gay but i am not a born gay and am not here to tell people how i become gay but as darkroll stated in one of his post here " we should look at the grassroot of the problem before passing judgement " over protective parents is one of the causes ", " Boys school" . But i am not in support of gay union or what soever in Nigeria , This gay thing as gotten into their brains that they went to National assemble to ask for gay rights and recognition of union is totally nonsense . Gays are not deny their  basic rights in Nigeria or are they? , I dont know of any company that says they wont employ gay people neither any hospital that says they wont treat gay people or Shopping  malls that says gay people are not allowed to enter


I hope they have sat and think what kind of riot would occur if gay union is allowed in Nigeria , have they forgotten how close minded some Nigerians could be . Gay union wont solve any of Nigeria's problem , if they love each other so much they should move and go countries where civil union is allowed . The highest numbers of gays happens to be arabs but  they will never go out of their way to seek for gay union to be allowed because they respect the law and custom of the land neither will nobody question them what they do behind close door.

My only fear is that  if gay union is allowed , hmmm,  some gays can over their cook rights

Am not in support  of stoning or jailing homosexuals cause that wont solve the issue at hand , it will rather create more problems but they should be free to do whatever they want to do behind close doors and people should not look down at them .

Like i said am GAY and for me it is not a thing of choice and i cant wake up the next day and decide i wanna stop being gay , have tried  doing it number of times but i end up fooling my self . I decided to accept my self for who i am but am not going to  disrespect or change the culture and law of where i reside just because of my selfish interest neither will i bring my gay trash to anyones face.

So Pataki and co i deserve to be stone to death ??

above is Vietnam consulate in Nigeria

Chei, the only thing paining me outta all this is that I thought Phuket would be moving back to Seychelles once his stint in Singapore was over, I didn't expect him to fall in love and move to the UK  I was planning to go on hols to the Seychelles and would not have minded his company and guidance   

@ big_bumper ; U one funny thing  .  Have never based in the Seychelles  but  i go there often and know a lot about the place and other indian ocean islands since my former job in Mauritius was  involve with sales and marketing of upcoming 5 , 6, 7 star hotels on indian ocean . If u still have plans to visit the seychelles and you want to hang out let me know i can fly to indian ocean anytime , I swear there is nothing to worry about am not a camp that drags himself in 3inches high-heel  Shoe  am a regular bloke that does Ben sherman and Tom english  with no trace  of gay attribute .

@ Akolawole ; I respect your opinions and believes and like i said before am not going to drag these issue with anyone cause these thread is not meant for that. Kindly ignore my post and attend to other peoples post (no hard feelings ) , so that replying to my post or even reading them wont make u commit sin .

I fit preach sermon on top am well well.  If I roll out my CV for bible study dissection, you go fear oh!

Bros abeg  save that energy of  preaching sermon and let everyone hold on to their opinion and believes , no matter how much you quote and preach sermon to some people , still wont stop them from passing judgement to some people. ( I know there is somewhere in the Bible that God says " Let me be the judge "

Are you a resident permit holder in Denmark?

Am not a resident in Denmark and i know i cant apply for a UK visa there  but we can register the civil partnership in Denmark on a visit visa unlike UK where you need  to have a civil partnership entry visa  first before u are allowed to register . After the the registration in Copenhagen  we will post a copy of the certificate to nearest british consulate  and it will be sent to GRO to be registered in the CPB ,after it has been registered by GRO they will notify us then i can apply for settlement visa.

@ darkroll are you the African guy ( not sure if u Nigerian) that works for Universal resort Seychelles ?

Akolawole i  was not expecting you to typed out what you just did , am not going to drag these issue  cause i respect everybody's opinion and believes .

But thanks for the advice  you have given .

Guys we decided to go to Denmark for the registration of the partnership since my Schengen is still valid instead of going through all the stress at BHC , Nigeria .

@ Akolawole so if i was lying  to BHC to be gay just to get visa you would have given further advice , so  you support lies then . The last time i check lying is a sin .

Dont let us drag these am gay issue . Lets move on with the topic .

Vicjustice:

   LOL! I was just going to beg for somebody out there to answer these questions before curiosity turns into something else.

Vic i did answered the question earlier when Akolawole asked , why dont you guys pay more attention to the issue at hand instead of being curious if am gay or not .

Will answer the question once again; Am BISEXUAL but am more into guys .

@ Akolawole i answered the question earlier when Pataki asked

Am Bisexual but am more into guys .

brownbonno:

@ phuket,

Below link maybe helpful(especially the Vietnam route).

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Civil-Partnerships-t171025.html&mode=linear

Brownbonno i owe you , you are a life saver . It cost less than nothing to register the civil partnership at BHC in Vietnam and who knows may be they would allow me to apply for the indefinite stay from the BHC in Vietnam

I no sure say na the same google search engine we dey use oooo , have searched before but got nothing regarding this , I only got the one for Hongkong but u have to be honkong residency to register.

Thanks alot guys .

funkybaby:


Erm . . . . I know what civil partnership is all about
I just did not want to believe a nigerian man will be involved in such . . . . . no offense meant
Reason why i highlightened the ''civil registration'' in my posts and stated i was not sure of your sex
So i thought maybe the rules had been adjusted or something , so it allows ''boyfriend-girlfriend''

On the DOB issue, its a bit complicated but just stick to your real age and like pataki advised, attached copies of your birth certificate.

Cheers

Funky dont lets us go into the "I just did not want to believe a nigerian man will be involved in such, " issue . just address my case with a openmind, lol

Like  you said it is complicated and i will stick to the advise of pataki (attach copies of birth certificate and affidavit) . Do you guys think if i write a letter and state that it was an ignorance of me that i used  the wrong DOB will help?

Am sorry  i keep referring these DOB issue ,  just really bothering me

@ Akolawole ;  we met eachother in Singapore during a training i was attending , and we kept visiting each other constantly until i lost my job .After i lost my job i went to europe for 2 month along side with him and we returned to singapore together . He bought a house in Phuket(thailand)  so i decided to move  to his house in thailand since is cheaper to live in thailand, Singapore to Phuket(thailand) is 1hr 25min flight and he comes around every weekend and anytime he has off from work.

He works in singapore and he has investment in UK (he just bought an apartment at the emirate stadium plaza in the UK)

We plan settling down in Thailand at our later days , just that for now he needs to move back to the UK for work  and we want to be together .


I am not sure if what you do in bed as anything to do with culture (just my own opinion) , and i think the ECO should understand that being a Nigerian does not mean u cant be gay.

@ Pataki am actually bisexual but am talking about my gay side now.

My main concern about the application is the DOB issue

@ pataki , funky and all thanks alot and am still looking forward to more contributions , your contributions as been giving me ideas of other documents i needed to include in the application

Wow , U guys have been so great and i really appreciate your contributions and more contributions are still welcome .

@ Funkybabe ; Newsflash for you , am a guy and my partner is a guy ( civil partnership is a relationship between two people of the same sex, formed when they register as civil partners of each other) It is the registration we are going for in the UK and after the registration you can apply to the home office in the UK and get a 2years probation stay(allows you to work full-time) , after the 2years if we are still together i can file in for a permanent residency. But to do the registration i need to apply for a civil partnership visa before entering UK.

@ Vicjustice ; Thanks a lot for that contribution

Funky your contribution was really helpful , i never thought about getting our used Airport boarding passes along side with the application but thank God i still kept them .

if you guys read my earlier post again , you will discover that it was after my visa application was refused that i went to the custom and get observation on my passport for the DOB , which means that on my first application i made i filled in my DOB as 02/10/1978 because have not done the observation then but now have done the observation and i have a new ECOWAS passport that reads 02/10/1980. Advise please


I feel i owe u guys a lot for all your contributions but all i can say now is a BIG THANK YOU .

@ Vicjustice

The date and month is the same only year is different (02/10/1978 / 02/10/1980). What kind of supporting affidavit can help ? should i go to court and get affidavit and get a notary stamp on it ? Please advise more on this issue

They can see on the passport that the refusal stamp is still there , it was just a mistake that the immigration officer in singapore put a stamp close to it and covers the date written below the refusal stamp(and vicjustice am serious , no point in lying to you guys at this stage ). Am ready to tell them the truth on the application form that have been refused before , Will a letter written by me and explaining to them what happened to the refusal stamp help?

Will my past travel history boost up my application?

I forget to mention earlier , i was in nigeria some weeks ago and i applied and got the new ECOWAS passport whit my correct date of birth(02/10/1980 , should i just ignore the old passport and apply for the visa with new passport ? But the thing is i want to show the ECO my travel history so they could see that me and my partner have lived together and have had vacations together in different countries (Europe ,Asia , Africa) so they could see that our relationship is genuine.

More contributions are welcome

@ Akolawole , Londoncool , Funkybaby , Pataki and all that as good contributions.

I was just browsing thru goggle when i came across this educative forum , i wish i had found this years ago .

I have a very complicated issue and will be glad if u guys can take your precious time to read the below and put in your contributions and advise .


I applied for a Tourist visa to the UK 4 years ago before they started the finger print thingy , I packaged my application this way
Confirm hotel booking(paid)
Letter of leave and promotion from my office (both letters were well detailed )
I printed out my online bank statement (original not fake)
Pay slips
A copy of my mother wills stating my inheritance of part of her properties
tax clearance certificate (original)
The only fake document i used which was a idea of a friend of mine ; We forged a wedding invitation card stating that i will be getting married in nigeria after some 3weeks of my return from the UK .

I stated in my application i was going for sight seeing and shopping for my wedding. The Eco refused my application and no right to appeal saying that my account statement shows a lump deposit(which is true ), bla , bla , bla .

After some months i resigned my job in Nigeria and got a job with a international hotel chain in Mauritius , applying for visas in mauritius was very easy so i travel a lot and have had 3 schengen visas , 2 switzerland visa and 4 thailand visa on my passport and have had more than 10 arrival visa stamps in Singapore but i never bothered to apply for UK visa as i had no plans of going there again. Due to the economy crises i lost my job 4-months ago due to the closure of the hotel so i relocated to thailand to live at my partner's house.( am living in thailand on a 1 year visit visa).

My partner is british but he works in Singapore and he comes to thailand every weekend to see me , we both now decided to relocate to the UK and signed a civil partnership and then i can apply for 2years indefinite stay which will lead me to apply for a permanent resident . I checked online and it states that to sign civil partnership i will need to apply for a civil partnership/marriage visa in my home country or country of residence before i can come into the UK to sign civil partnership , am living in thailand on a visit visa so i cant apply for a visa in thailand so i have to go my home country(Nigeria) to apply for the civil partnership/marriage visa .

My questions now is that :

1. Do u guys think they still have records on my former application i made 4 years ago ?
2. When i applied then the DOB on my passport was 1978 but after the UK visa was refused i went to the nigerian immigration and they wrote and stamped on the observation page on my passport that it was a mistake from their office and my real DOB is 1980 , do u guys think they will go back to thier database and check the DOB i applied with before on my earlier application that was refused ?
3. A immigration officer in singapore mistakenly stamped arrival visa on the same spot the BHC lagos stamped the refusal stamped on my passport . is this a problem .
4. On my earlier application that was refused i included a invitation card to get married to a girl on my return back from the UK and now am doing a civil partnership application , how does this affect my application? ( i hope u guys knows what civil partnership in the UK means ).

Thanks again for taking time to read the above , will appreciate all contributions . I know i should be sending this to a immigration lawyer but i just need you guys advise and contributions also .
