Good day my people, is there anyone that has gotten passport from Ikeja office of immigration recently? I want to know how true is the 4 - 5 weeks promised by the officials before I make payment. Alternatively, if there is anyone with contacts in other states that will be faster than 4 weeks, please help me.

Study Permit Approved!

Date of Submission: 20th January 2021
Passport Receipt Date: 27th April 2021 (Delivered via courier)
VFS Centre of Submission: Port Harcourt


STUDY PERMIT PACK/DOCUMENTS USED;

1. Application Form (DHA - 1738) fully completed in black ink only

2. Two identical passport size (35mm widthx45mm height) photographs on white background showing the
complete face (took the passport photographs at N1,000 the same day of my study visa submission).

3. A valid passport

4. Copy of passport data page (2 colored copies).

5. Self-introduction letter with my physical address and phone number (made it one page).
Also included my current job and why I need to go for a Masters, and specifically why the course (Industrial Engineering) and school (DUT) and my plans after studies.

6. Introduction/Recommendation letter from my employer, signed with contact details, (with physical
address and phone numbers).
Included was just my date of employment, role, and awareness of the fact that I am planning to leave for studies.

7. Seven days verifiable hotel reservation/bookings done directly with:
HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS DURBAN - UMHLANGA
https://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress/hotels/us/en/reservation

8. Copy of international traveling certificate (yellow fever card) duly and fully completed by a health
practitioner. Spent roughly N5,000 to get them together and I did the vaccination too.

9. Proof of financial status (bank statement from salary account-6 months and 3 months from another
personal account) (Original, Stamped & Signed by the bank authority)

My salary account had around N5,000 while the other had over a N1million (bulk of it was deposited the same day I printed the statement of account, this is not advisable though).

The reason I used the 6 months is due to the nature of my work, where I had to work for 3 months paid, and 3 months no work no pay. The 3 months unpaid fell within the point of visa application, so I had to get up to 6 months statement to validate my claims of employment.

10. Non-Refundable Visa Fee of around N60,000 (inclusive of service charge), this is high since I submitted my application in Port Harcourt.

11. Booked Verifiable Flight (free without charges). Kenya Airways from Lagos to Durban.

12. Police Clearance (spent around N25,000), since I did not do it in Lagos.

13. Medical Report spent around N7,000 for the medical test, with a government hospital gave me a hospital report, with their letter-head and still endorsed the medical report document I printed from the visa application website.

14. Radiological Report (the Doctor at the government hospital recommended me to do it with a private diagnostic center where I did mine), spent around N9,000
After doing the test, the hospital gave me a hospital report, with their letterhead, and still endorsed the radiological report document I printed from the visa application website.

15. An official letter confirming provisional acceptance at Durban University of Technology (DUT) and the duration of the course.
Included in this letter is 100% tuition waiver.

16. Letter of Undertaking from DUT, provided by Department of International Education & Partnership

17. Proof of annual medical cover payment from momentum health insurance (paid R5460, roughly around
N165,000 when I paid because I made the payment at the black market price).

18. Proof of membership from momentum health insurance (this was sent to my mail within 24 hours after
paying the R5460)

I return all Glory to GOD

DrOA:
I stay and work there.
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by pufframmy: 2:00pm On Apr 09, 2021
wow are u currently staying in SA
DrOA:
Getting a job with a study permit is difficult in SA. But within the university you are studying, you can be given jobs as a tutor or marker or whatever. 2. Payment of tuition is not expected in full. You can always pay part. 3. Durban and Cape town are both good location. However, Cape town is more expensive than Durban. 4. After the completion of your study, you can always apply for critical skills visa without leaving SA. And from there to PR.
This is the process I followed.

contentment24:
Good day everyone, I submitted my visa application on December 10th 2020 and after much waiting, I started following update from comments on Nairaland, I even almost gave up with the people complaining of their application being denied. My chances were very low, Passport Issue date is Dec 08, 2020, Visa Application Date is Dec 10, 2020, the same picture I have on passport is what I have on passport photograph for the visa application. After much waiting and about to give up, I saw an email of one Veronica Loving and I sent her an email on the 09/03/2021 no reply, sent her another 12/03/2021 no reply, then I sent another direct email to their Lagos DHA on 18/03/2021 no reply. But luckily on the 19/03/2021 I got an email from VFS that my visa application and been processed and collected from SA high commission. Today 22/03/2021 I just collect my number passport from UPS and I was giving 3 months multiple entry visa. So my people don’t allow another person’s visa denial to discourage you. Just think positive and be prayerful.. Who did is? JESUS.

Thank you adjo10, you have really tried on this thread and I personally commend your effort for sharing the little you know about Brazil. today you receive a compliment, tomorrow might be a backlash. I greet you.

@TechSpot thanks bro, you're are next, we will celebrate it together.

Lets all just focus on how we can help anyone with genuine information. whether Brazil is trash or not, it's left for whoever making the enquiry to decide.
I'm glad I came to Sao Paulo and I will always advise anyone who has the opportunity to give birth in Brazil to do it.
If I'm having 100 kids in this life ehn, I will stroll into Brazil and birth them. thats me!. grin

congrat dear
Kemo88:
Had my appointment and my visa was approved.
A lot of people were rejected. As usual there was a VO rejecting almost everyone and I was praying not to be sent there.
We were all standing in front of the VOs. I was the last on the queue. At some point it was a lady and I left there other people behind us were still taking finger prints. It was the lady’s turn but the VO directly in front of us asked me to come to him and he sent the lady to another VO. The VO who called on me wasn’t the one Viciously rejecting people but he just rejected the 3 People before me
My transcript:
VO: *cracks an initial joke and laughs
Me: *laughing even though I didn’t hear what he said

Me: good morning

VO : good morning, how are you today

Me: im ok , how about yourself?

VO: I’m great ... so why are you going to the US

Me: holiday

VO: how long?

Me: about 3 weeks

VO : where are you going

Me : *mentions name of city

VO: What’s the longest time you spent in the US

Me: 5months

VO: can you tell me about that?


Me: I was on an F1 visa, went as a Graduate student

VO: *cuts me short* was that a semester course ?

Me: no, it was a two year program , I Came home a lot at every chance I got

VO: You were missing home?

Me: yes.

VO: what school did you go?

Me;*******

VO: so what countries have you been to asides the US?

Me: Canada , UK, Dubai and the US.. oh sorry You Saïd asides the US..

VO: *laughs * yes cos I can see here that you have been to the US a gazillion multiple times ... so tell me about your last trip to the US?

Me: I travelled for a week, went on tour(mentioned some tourism attractions in the city I went) , did some shopping.

VO: you married?

Me: yes

VO : how many kids do you have?

Me: A cute little one

VO: are you traveling with your husband and child ?

Me: not at this time

VO: why?

Me: I need some me time really...

VO: *laughs* some me time?

Me: You know what I mean

VO : *laughs* yeah I do ... so what do you do for work?

Me: I’m a surgeon, I work at ***** I do **** surgeries, reconstruct bla bla (my comfort zone so I spent time there)

VO: Wow! you sound like you love what you do?

Me: im pretty passionate about it.

VO: are you visiting family?

Me: no I’m not

Vo placed my passport On the blue paper and my heart sunk. Then he says :

VO: I won’t be returning your passport at this time cos we have decided to give you A visa.

He brought out white paper.

Hé was friendly but more friendly with the 2 people He had rejected just before me. So I was nervous. I was worried also cos for every approval there were like 10 rejections. Most approvals were renewals.

This was my longest us visa interview. I don’t know why. thank God for everything
