FCMB bank have been having power outage since last week. We haven't been able to print updated bank statements. The last statement we printed is already a month old.
Please guys do you think I can still use it

Go to another branch. All their branches can't be having power issues at the same time!

Its nationwide dear, their server is down. Everyone is complaining

Dum4christ:
Hi if this is the pattern in your account it is not considered a lumo sum. It is only a lump sum when is is unusual from the usual trend in your account.

Okay thank you. I appreciate you

Thank you.

The education bond is a good way to show proof of student living expenses to the VO. Once the tuition fees have been sorted out, you can opt for the bond.

Also note that every gap in education and work areas should be totally addressed!

To explain lump sums, you can use an excel sheet with columns for date, amount, type of entry(debit/credit) and explanations.

Hope this helps!

I had this issue with a lump sum lodgement I undeliberately omitted to explain.

I later sent a followup mail to the Nigerian visa office email and even added some attachment as proof to back up my claim.

Fortunately, THE VAO was sympathetic.

You can get that on study and protect.

The visa decisions for last week are out. You can check if a decision for yours has been reached here https://www.dfa.ie/irish-embassy/nigeria/our-services/visas/weeklydecisionreports/

Please I have a question, my sponsors bank statement is 7 months. Would it still be accepted?
Again, would a bulk sum that was made before the 6months interval still be questioned?

All the lodgements that are lump sums in the printed account statement should be explained. You can submit the 7 months statement but it should not be older than 30 days.

Staff is the correct word. There's no plural for the word.

Yepa

The staff that attended to me was actually very cool

Did you submit on Monday or Tuesday?

Help please,

I went in to the VFS on 28th of July. My appointment was 11am. I was there around 9am. Sorting documents and waiting till it get to my turn. Unfortunately, when it around 3pm and a staff was about to attend to me. We were told to go out that they want to close. The man who sent us out says they open from 8am - 2pm.


My problem is, I tried rescheduling the appointment but it show a message ' not eligible to reschedule'.


Please what can I do next? What is the solution?



I need suggestion and way forward, please.

Thanks.

Am sorry most people are facing so much stress at the vfs office. Its very unfortunate these guys are using covid to be very unprofessional. Kindly go early today or next week from Tuesday and stay till they attend to you please.

Am so disappointed about how these people are treating applicants, I will be sending an email to David - the head of the Irish visa office here in Nigeria I'll suggest those affected should also send a comprehensive and polite email to Embassy as well to make them aware of how they are being treated* But kindly apply caution because the Irish Embassy has not instructed them to behave in such manner and most definitely they are not aware.

Thanks so much for your advise. Bravo! Will do just that.

On Tuesday
