Gud infor thanks

KingsCrossing:
Hello All,

Last week or two I posted the refusal letter of my friend.
They raised the issues of ''opening balance and unexplained credits''. Like i said before all credits were salary credits.
So, we re-applied after few days and she just collected her VISA today (priority- exactly 5 days).

What I noticed from her application;

1. She stated that her net salary was 750,000 Naira but this is not what was reflecting on her statement and payslips.
2. During her explanation on 'what to during her visit in the UK' she made a comment that she would be visiting a friend who recently moved to the UK from Naija.
3. She uploaded 7 month's payslip (which should be okay)

What we did differently:
1. We had to clearly and concisely explained why the variations on salary credits (she receives way above the 750,000 due to site inspection bonus, weekend bonus etc). Did a tabular representation linking each months salary credits to the appropriate payslips)
2. She highlighted that she is submitting the whole of 2019 payslips plus bonus evidence received to explain the 'opening balance - which she submitted. She also did mention the fact that she has been employed since few years ago so should have an opening credit .
3. During reapplication, she removed the part that 'she would be visiting a friend who...…...''
4. We closed all concerns raised with clear evidence.

Somethings i could deduce from this process are as follows:
1. ECO's don't have time to figure out what you meant - it has to be clear and straightforward.
2. You have to carefully complete you visa application form and ensure everything tallies (ur evidence)
3. If you think that you need to further explain anything - do a summary on the added info section of the application form referencing a detailed explanation on your cover letter.

Don't rush, look at it again and ask yourself questions as if you are the ECO.

u welcome

Hello all.
Received our passports today. Visa granted for my son and I.
Even though I didn't get response to my questions earlier, I'll like to give this information to help any family applying together. You all don't have to pay for flexi. I booked a normal appointment for myself and booked flexi for my son. That enabled him do walk in appointment and our applications were consolidated at the VAC. So I spent 42k instead of 84k it would have cost both of us.

Congratulation

rolyboi:
How is life over there?

WOW Happy to hear this kind of story it inspire one

AfonjaBoston:
You seem like a young person so hopefully my story will inspire you.

Back in the mid nineties I was what they call an Efiko. No be now whey My brain done they retire. Old age and hyperactive children that won't let me rest
My parents never had to pay for school fees it was scholarship up until my first degree

I was a staunch Deeper Life Student whose role model was Pastor W.F Kumuyi ,you can imagine what kind of person I was . I dey use hand cover book for exam I NEVER skipped any step in my life or cut corners.

I got the PTDF scholarship while in a Federal University which transformed my life and I graduated top of my class

Exactly one month after NYSC I was hired by a MNC here in Nigeria worked for a few years then the travel perks started to roll in.

Europe, Middle East and North America, then finally the Houston station and those folks refused to let me go back.

If it's not too late for you, your story can be the same. Hard work, diligence, self-respect and above all believe in God then you will be whatever you wanna be without cutting corners

. . . But if it is too late for you my dear I am sorry na your destiny but the best you can do is copy my testimony make a 2'×3' poster out of it and place on the wall to use as an inspiration for your kids

You will thank me later

abeniagbon:
Can someone apply for visit visa to Canada without without travel history and with 900K acct balance . Just asking

thanks

ATPx:
Proof of emplyment = (Your company registration documents, tax certificate, company bank statement)

A detailed self introductory letter explaining the relationship with your fiancé and why you chose to visit France.

For your past Italian visa, just a colored copy would suffice.

ooh sorry about this question but are you USA BORN if not,
you too did your way to Get Papers bro
it start from Somewhere, God know best for each people

AfonjaBoston:
Young man even if his brother abused his US visa, what has that got to do with him?

Do you know if he advised against such?
Did you expect him to bundle him in a car and drive him to an ICE facility?

Brother US immigration laws doesn't work like that. The brother will even sue him for kidnapping.

I have very very very few young people who have come to live in my home on holiday from naija as soon as anybody mention gaming the system I kick them out to go do that crap somewhere else . I don't harbor illegals in my home.

That's the most I can do. Let the system do their job and fish such people out.

That will not stop me from crucifying people abusing the privilege they were given and destroying opportunities for thousands of genuine applicants

really

flourishing247:
Most recent visas now come with a clause "no change of status". Our people still ignore it and think they can play the system.

wow that means that have tagged your passport number

Heffalump:
Yes, Kayraph!

Was detained once at George Bush International Airport in Houston once, because of 2 Apples I forgot in my check-in luggage from Naija. Since then, I've become their customer at the CBP anytime I'm in the States. In fact, the moment an Officer scans my passport at POE, it will just flag up something. My saving grace was that I declared the Apples on the first day.

There are some foods that are on the prohibition list, fruits and some kind of drinks inclusive.

Hello house.
I got my passport back today with a 6 months validity Visa stamp after 2 previous rejections all thanks to God and experience gained from following this thread.

Thanks @Justwise and other gurus for the patience you take in answering our varying (and some times ridiculous) questions.
I appreciate it all. God bless .
Cheers.
