Can You pls tell me what exchange program is all about?

ikswiss:
Lots of them check bogazici the last school I sent you is one of the best school in the university ranking 85 in the world and very low tuition fee

moneybag100:
My guys, you need to be prayerfull, I heard a guy was denial visa last month....portuguese embassy have now started making thorough scrutiny of visa processing due to 2 Cameronians that was given visa to Portugal from Nigeria(we share the same embassy) to ipb poly but unfortunately they didn't even branch the school, they just absconded from portugal to other country.

Demaejy:
Oh, that's very serious. They are making things hard for genuine people. It won't be our portion.

Have you heard from embassy lawyer?

moneybag100:
No....I haven't. I am getting frustrated its almost 2 months now and need to resume school next month.

Demaejy:
Don't be frustrated.. we are on the same boat. It remains just two weeks to be a couple of months that I have submitted too. May God sees us through.

Regarding the person that got denied, what if s/he submitted a fake document ? It could be accidental to the issue of absconded Cameroonians. What do you think?

Demaejy:

Have you heard from embassy lawyer?

moneybag100:
It may be the case but I don't think so...even the natalia woman of ipb poly said something like that.

moneybag100:
I just want them to make decision early so one to know what's up though am optimistic for positive.
I have hungary admission letter with me that I got through an agent but since have venture into portugal processing can't go on with that.
Do you know if hungary will issue visa for BA english language and american study?

TheRoyalprince:
The issue of the Cameroonians that absconded from the school after getting to Portugal is so sad to hear. The fact remain that they can't cheat their way in as much the guys will still be in schengen countries if there 3 months Temporary visa should expire without renewal at SEF (Portugal Home Office). Schengen countries now have security treaty coalition with each other in which once you go against one country policy, all others schengen countries will be on alert.

I had about it and it was my close friend Jnr brother visa that was denied without any reason. All the documents he submitted was real and genuine. What is the excense of the verification and authentication that aplplicant were subjected to at the embassy?

I will write a complaint article on such comes in few days time and cc: Ministry of Foreign Affairs, House Committee on Diaspora (Abike Dabiri Erewa) and European Union Commission (Annex) in Abuja demanding reason for his rejection and the delay Nigerians are facing at the embassy.

European and American Embassies were all aware of Africans wanting to stay back and seek greener pasture in their countries by absconding the purpose of their travel. It has been there before but we only pray for it to the bearest minimum.

To all perspective students going to Portugal for study. Don't panic and lose hope. Keep on dancing to the music of your dream and rock your stage. Nevertheless, this should be a lesson for all. Wish you all the best in your process.

Demaejy:
I wonder why there is the processing of verification then. Even it shouldn't be we Nigerians that will face the consequences, it was Cameroonians ... Thank you brother, you are such a fount of inspiration to this thread.

gowaga68:

moneybag100:
I didn't give you the lawyer number...I gave you embassy number. You can't get it lawyer number until you are being called by them. So it will not be appropriate to call the lawyer.

Dear Ma,

How are you and how was your holidays? Is good to see you back in office and kudos for your assistance and support to perspective students.

My ink may sink so deep but am to inform you on the current situations on ground ranging from visa process to arriving and studying in IPB.

No doubt about IPB being among the top ranking schools in Portugal making more application to flood in day in day out but it is worrisome when perspective student dream become nightmare.

I’m overwhelmed with emotions of the experience some students coming to IPB Braganca were currently facing at the Portuguese Embassy in Abuja, Nigeria.

Nigeria Government decided to kick against the practice, where its citizens are treated without any dignity over visa applications in their own country.

IPB as a learning and training institute needs more friends than enemies these days, they need talent and genius. If in the final analysis Nigerians are made to be maltreated when it comes to visa issuance without IPB interceding on their behalf, then we watch out for race difference and biasness.

It is necessary for IPB to call Portugal Immigration Service (SEF) and Portugal Embassy in Abuja, Nigeria in to order to ensure the dignifying treatment of all applicants irrespective of their nationalities.

The respect Nigerians have for Portugal will be a thing of the past if they realize that Portuguese Immigration Office (SEF) and Portugal Embassy in Abuja, Nigeria; only say the word and ignore the doing of the word of not treating applicants equally irrespective of race and religion. Nigerians have gone through enough at Portugal Embassy in Abuja that my opinion of Portugal seems to be changing substantially.

A Nigerian perspective student to IPB was denied visa which he has watertight cases, adequate documents and enough funds than you will find in the bank account of an average Portuguese, but still he was denied with no reason.

I am not oblivious of the fact that the conduct of some visa applicants at home and abroad has greatly contributed in making the Portugal Immigration Service (SEF) and Portugal Embassy in Abuja to be harsh on Nigerian visa applicants.

Moreover, neighborhood Cameroonians applicant applying through Portugal Embassy in Abuja, Nigeria also contributed to the harsh on visa applicants by absconding against the purpose of their travel visa once they get to Portugal. These should not be an avenue for making someone sin to be someone punishment. Remember, we cannot compromise the fact that people are not sinner but we can be sin-less.

Perhaps, these can be brought to the bearest minimum by introducing a systematic method in which applicants will be subjected to paying part payment of their tuition fee or full tuition fee prior before getting visa. No sane one will pay such amount of fee and abscond from the purpose of his/her studying when he/she travel to Portugal.

I am making plea to IPB to stand on their feet and save us from the trauma applicants coming to IPB were facing at Portuguese Immigration Service (SEF) and Portugal Embassy in Nigeria.

We recognize your effort as the International Relation Officer and IPB in all but notwithstanding; we need your coalition this time around.

Thank you.
