I'm sorry, but I got a UK visa, during NYSC and travellled for my Grads....the fact I was a corper did not come up as an issue at the Embassy, even though I submitted my NYSC and office permission letters to go for 3 weeks. If you search the entire visa rules, of UK or US Consulates, u will not find a single rule stopping NYSC students, they simply do not make it theird[color=#006600][/color]

Yes UK don't bother with the NYSC thing just US unless they've stopped

Chai!!!!! Come and see as hot piss catch me, grin

I was already getting scared and she came back
VO: what does your husband do
Me: xxxx
VO:can I have his employment letter
Me: handed it over
Vo: what does he do there ( in fact the question surprised me because I tot she just ask what he does and collected his employment letter but I quickly gave her an answer o)
Vo: ok am coming ( and she left again for another 2 minutes and came back)
Vo: çongratulations , your visa has been approved and she told me to collect my zero balance and I should make sure I don't access any medicaid and no so she handed a white paper to me and I said thank you ma and na him I quickly collect the paper and ran for my dear life before she changes her mind cheesy grin cheesy

Yea I promise to give an update on Dr Ezekiel price. But b4 I do that make I throw *vexation* on 9ja doctors. All my scan I did in 9ja by two diff Drs indicated I am expecting a baby girl, I am done shopping for my girl as a sharp mum. When the issue of corner kick prick came up I laughed and looked the other way as it was none of my biz, and all of a sudden I saw my doctor today for my scan WOLAAAA, she said "that's a very big ball". It didn't mk sense to me at first until she asked do you have a name for him already, and i said for her u mean? She looked up and asked do u think u are expecting a girl? I replied that's what all my scan said. She flipped through my file for the scan I came with and laughed out loud. She turned the scan monitor and showed me what looks obviously like balls and prick!
Who do I believe? Can we go back and discuss that corner kick prick again grin grin shocked : shocked

See this my sister oooo, you lucky no be small..you still have a chance of returning the girl clothes & getting boys.

I didn't discover till the day of the delivery & what makes our case interesting was that we weren't discharged till 2 days to naming & so didn't have a chance to shop!!
