MadameW: Wow, just imagine. I called them at midnight concerning my husband's application. I mentioned that 15 days had elapsed and all she told me was that a decision has been made and he'll be contacted soon for his passport. That’s their new scope. Same thing I was told. Haven’t heard anything since then. The silence is frustrating |

chima1978: Hello, please I need to know how to apply for a Schengen transit visit. I want to use KLM to travel to the UK and it looks like KLM have changed their rules as the UK is no longer part of the EU.
Is it the same requirements as applying for a visit visa? How long does it take, etc? Thanks. It’s the same process as a visit visa except for travel insurance. Takes max 3 days. |

Did she pay for priority? lalasun: I did my biometrics Oct 19. I am a frequent traveller and till today no decision has been made. I've called their number several times and they say they have a backlog. However a friend of mine did her biometrics on Nov 4, same 5 years visit visa and today she received an email to pick up her passport tomorrow. This is well within 15 working days. We both did our biometrics at TLS VI, Lagos.
It's ridiculous, no word on when my passport will be ready and I have a work trip in South Africa in two weeks. |

Kindly delete your attachment. Your personal info is on it. ifyobidiaso: Hello, I am super sad as this my first time applying to UK, I did my biometric 29th of October and I got a refusal mail on the 2nd of Novemeber(priority). However i feel upset as the consuler did not go through my supporting document infact he made a mistake in his explanation.I clearly stated that I was going to spend 1,200,000 for my trip and in his response he wrote 2,000,000 which I clearly and obviously dint write.I also stated that my husband was going to support with 1m which he transferred to my account and he attached a letter with his signature and stamp. I also attached my salary account as well as piggyvest and investment account. I would like to know the next step to take as I even typing this I am yet to get a collection mail from Tls. I would like for the critics to help look at my information and let me know where i went wrong. |

Would it be helpful to send a paid email before the first 15 working days timeline elapses to help speed up the process? Because it seems sending the paid email may help with processing the visa faster. |

PresidentBuhari: If you are living in the UK there won't be need to argue about it. The UK grocery market caters for all class, food is basic and luxury at the same time. The foods purchased at Tesco has same quality control with the foods at Waitrose.
A 500ml bottle of water costs £3 at M&S while 1 litre bottle of water (double the size ) costs 0.25 at Asda. Nobody and I mean nobody can survive on a £150 per month in the UK. Even if you eat £1 worth of meals a day. When there’s rent, electricity, transport and phone bills at the minimum to be paid. The UK is very expensive |

oluayebenz: Gone are the days......
The Embassy is now something else, the way they handle B1B2 visa applicants is wack and makes no sense, they issue visa base on your profile filled, composure and the VO present mood.
No intense scrutiny of documents. They’ve never scrutinized documents. I’m not certain you clearly understand my post. If he/she was issued a visa based on her profile, unless her profile/circumstances have changed the visa would most likely be granted. Note also that in the last few years of the Trump administration, Nigerians who have birthed in the US have come under intense scrutiny at visa renewal even after they had paid the discounted fees and some had been asked to pay the balance before their visas were granted. So the poster should check his/her situation. |
Travel › Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Reine22: 6:13pm On May 15, 2021 |
oluayebenz: Reapply and be positive.....
Just be hopeful you are directed to a calm VO who will listen to the reason why you need the visa.
2 past refusal has no effect on your new application, since you didn't abuse any of your past visas.
Good luck How do you know he/she did not knowingly or unknowingly abuse their visa? Renewing a visa is usually a straightforward matter unless there is an overstay, a birthing related issue or a change in the applicant’s ties/circumstances (employment status). There is a reason the person has been denied twice. A transcript may help. |
