Getting deported is not the end of the World. I have known a lots of people who have been deported to Nigeria from Chicago and some of them have dusted themselves up doing fairly well in Nigeria. Be positive and use your energy to create a bright future for yourself. Good luck to you.

i know is unrelated question, but please i need urgent help, I inadvertently washed my jeans with my passport in it yesterday. and now is the passport is a totally waste, i was planing on applying for the emergency travel certificate but form nigerian embassy UK website it seams that is meant for only stole or missing passport.

the reason i apply for it not renewal is that am planing coming back to Nigeria this weekend saturday to be presides, i still have a valid visa so my question are

1) can i apply for emergency travel certificate though my passport is damage not stolen or missing
2) if no should lie and get a police report that my passport is stolen
3)i have a police report, but a break in in our house, that is the police just mail me a letter stating that my case is still on going.

i really need to travel this weekend,

My brother after carefully reading your post, I am sorry to say this, but "Your travel credentials have been screwed up" esp to Schengen Zones, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, basically countries which share info with UK embassies, lets put it this way, English Speaking countries.
You are now limited to Asia (except Japan and South Korea), Russia, Kazakstan, Turkmenistan(I doubt if Turkey will issue their Visa to you under such circumstances, because Turkey really considers Visa's and travel document remarks from OECD countries) and African countries.... oh yeah and the middle east (Except Israel) sorry man, you should have followed the rules.
A Visa Cancellelation is the highest screwup you can offer your passport.
Just run your things in Nigeria.

[b]Wellcome back, next time you go any where outside your beloved country Nigeria learn to live by the rule that govern the system where you find yourself, just cause you can get away with certain types of act when done in Nigeria don't mean you can leave Nigeria and still try to play "smart" . Respect yourself and protect the reputation of Nigeria ABEG!

Your original intention was never to study if you really want to be honest, otherwise if it was, you probably complete your education which is the primary reason for coming to the UK in the first place before ever thinking of marrying -simple wisdom should have told you that even if you wanted to marry, you complete your studies, come back home let your Caucasian partner invite you back to the UK and after a few months get married first in Nigerian and she travels to the UK and files for your permanent residency. The UKVI will run some checks but chances of you getting a residency to come be with your partner is very high.

But since you wanted to take the short cut you got busted, now your travel history is totally wrecked as far as the western nations are concerned - your bio-metric is already on the UK SMS system ,possible they share this with interpol and related agencies including boarder control, passport office and immigration. Change your name and passport if you like, your finger print will raise a red flag if you dare apply to some of the western nations for a visa.

Let this be a lesson to others reading this, the UK, US or other western countries is not heaven, its easy to go there do your business genuinely and if your want to immigrate take the open available right and legal channels , If it works out fine, if it don't be content with travelling there on visit and business, stop trying to remain in the white mans land at all cost - acts like these create a reputational problems for other honest Nigerians who are genuine travelers.

Sorry if this sounds a bit harsh but its the truth and others should learn from the errors you made - just cause some people might have done it and gotten away with it for now, don't mean others should do same, sorry you had to learn the hard way. If you listen to some of the posters here writing about how other folks circumvent the system and you want to do same ? well that's up to you -

And for all those washing their dirty "visa" linen here , it may surprise you Immigration officers for some of these western countries read things posted on this site.. so make una continue, dem they wait una .... Cheers

Sir, judging him not, say your bible or quran! All he needs right now from u is encouragement. What you failed to realise is that load of Nigerian guys did exactl what you suggested at d second paragraph of your post but regretted their action of coming home to get married; most applications were rejected and they all ended up in Nigeria. All effort to go back to Uk proved abortive.

If you as a person finds life easy as a student, another person might find it tough and unbearable due to one thing or the other

Life is all about destiny. The same thing he did that got him deported, was d same thing another Nigerian, Ghananian did that fetched him/her a british citizenship..

my people i greet una oooo. Please i am here for help however i am open to criticism if needs be but i will confess that i have had enough stress already so please dont add more salt in my wound. Na beg i dey beg una oooo my wise people. I just got deported from the UK on Feb. 2014, i went as a student but things got very though cos of UK immigration policies every now and then. I got to marry a french national but it busted so i couldn't help the situation. They said i need to return home and i accepted and signed the documents but it is not because of what i have done but because of what they had believed. Note: its not because my visa had expired, ofcourse i had my valid student visas but not allowed work at all. Now i am in my fatherland thou not planning any travelling anytime soon, i want to find out from wise people on here if this situation has jeopardise any future travel plans anywhere in the world ofcourse except the UK.

AreaFada2:
@Deflover,
Interesting story.
What matters is that you're now doing something good with your life.
Most likely something big awaits you in 9ja there, keep looking for it.
As for friends in UK, the daily struggle is not easy. Many bills to pay.
I guess you know visting is quite different from making a living UK. It takes a lot of effort.
People generally become more individualistic in the West, it just the way it is.
However, genuine friends will still keep in touch. And genuine friends, you know, are few and far between.
When most people have nothing to benefit from you any more (at if least they think so), your friendship is hardly desirable.
Sad but true.

pappilo:


False.

Countries do not routinely share visa applicant details. You can apply for US, schengen or Irish visa but obviously you wont declare your deportation.

I personally know 2 people who have had UK home office wahala.

First guy was deported. Went to the high commission and applied for a UK visa with another name (before finger printing), collected 6 months, then 2 years and finally a 5 year visa. By the time the 5 year visa expired, the finger printing process had started so he has never bothered to reapply for a UK visa. Since then he has been to over 20 countries including the US and several Schengen countries. He has a house here he rents out so anytime he needs to come over, he flies to Ireland on his Irish visa and people wey sabi can fill in the rest.

2nd guy ran away from a police investigation and returned to naija. Kept coming in on his 2 year visa. When he reapplied, they pointed out the error of his ways in running from plod and They kukuma dash am 10yr ban. Since then he has obtained a student visa and studied in western Europe and has also applied for and obtained a 2yr US visa.

ManInTheMirror:


Nothing do you. You no commit crime. My advice, keep urself busy, enroll in a sch asap so in future when u wan travel again, u have proof u have been busy bettering your life and not just hanging around.

Don't listen to the guy I quoted, I bet he never even travel before.

Yes it has been a tough one trust me its not easy however, it can't ever weigh me down or stop me. It can't ever stop the sun & the rain or even the world from spinning around. @zeezahbee, ofcourse its arranged one ! I ain't the first person to have done that and you got to do what you ought to do to survive but the choice that i have made didn't work out the way i thought it would. I thank you all for all your contributions, its really very nice of you guys. @classicalmusic, thanks a lot. That is real life experience broh. My current ppt got 12 weeks to expire. What do you reckon? share whatever you got on here. Cheers mate

@Ikebesupa
I am aware of a lady who while in nigeria was banned for 10yrs from travelling to the uk
her boyfriend who was then in the UK had to relocate back to nigeria
they are now married, and she recently travelled to the US for a visit without any issues
my bad advice to you is for you to gradually and carefully test the waters
you were not deported, neither were you convicted
so, i see no reason why you should offer more information than neccessary
also, you are still legally married to that lady if i am not mistaken (i only read the 1st page of your thread)
try to confirm this from the authorities
you probably should try travelling to her country as a first step

Chaaaiiii!!! Na now i know sey nairaland pass Google oooo. See all these beautiful answers i dey find for Google yet no avail. Na my friend just ask me to type this on nairaland and i got all these.
