New sheriff in town lets see what he would do 😩
It was always applicable to industries and consumers, it was removed from consumers who were essentially paying what was passed on from industries and their own tax.

@Oyotunji USA
Please sir, can you advise me on what to do. I've been trying to make an appointment since November 2024 for an appointment because school resumes this January and to no avail. I've been unable topass the pre-approval stage and unable to even proceed to pay for my child as my F2. Please what do I do. Thank you
Oyotunji hasn’t been on this forum for a bit.

Search for “pre-approval” in yeh search bar, you should get ideas how people scaled through.

This is the link shared for the post below, it is for Abuja, you can search google for the Lagos equivalent.

Hello.

1. Your son might have visited 5 countries in Europe but to be frank is that one of the criteria to qualify for F1 visa ?

2. How did you know he answered the questions very well ? Did you see the video or verbal recorded tape where he was answering the consular questions?

3. When the embassy says he does not have a tie does the 214B stated that they needed him to show family properties? Does the denial slip asked him to show work history?

Why not come out straight with a genuine question instead of painting the US embassy as a bad entity ? You will know what went wrong after you must have posted his genuine and honest transcript, otherwise he will repeat the same failure .

You can't just go there without an appointment. I've been through this before
For submission you can, read back a few pages. Also beware of people at VFS who will try to tell you that you can’t and make you pay DHL to drop off.

Doesn't sound probable to owe CBSA. I had a decent interaction with the officials I spoke with and nothing of the sort was mentioned.

I do not believe your theory is accurate. Thanks
I would suggest you order CBSA notes to be sure on what terms you left Canada. That’s the only way you can truly confirm.

Any removal that involves them paying your flight fees and having an escort requires repayment of flight fees. It will be good to ensure that you are exempt from the repayment before you proceed with an application to become a permanent resident.

Also were you a part time student when you did the summer work? If you were a full time student and worked during your holidays more than 20hrs, it does not change the fact that you were a full time student.

Hello,

I do not know if this question has already been answered but I just need urgent clarification

I am traveling from Abuja to Toronto, via lufthansa but transiting through Frankfurt and Paris.

I hold both a Canadian Visa and an American Visa.

Do I still need a Transit Visa.

All responses are highly appreciated.

Thank you
Yes you need a transit visa. If you were going from Frankfurt direct, no transit visa is required, but layovers in 2 Schengen countries requires a transit visa.

Hey 🤠

@Sarah2022 go and sit down and take plain sheet with a pen to jot down notes when i am responding to questions.

My assumptions did not make sense but non of you has come out to write the assumptions that make sense .

You all claim experiences which turn out counter-productive for most of you. All of you have forgotten that United States visa types changes policy like chameleon and you think US embassies will stay stagnant on visa policies like you.

1. I have B1/B2 , and F1 experiences which i am ready for off-hand debates with any one of you with the convidence that i will come 1st.

2. In USA visa procedures , your old experiences and my new experiences are almost useless . UPDATES IS WHAT IS USEFUL AND NEEDED .

3. I have done many courses both physical and correspondence on USA visa policies and i am registered with a Yearly paid sites which hint members visa policy changes 24/7.

4. I am using Nairaland as a training ground to train my ability in sorting out all USA visa procedure teasers. I work with more than 6 International Immigration Attorneys .

5. You are using old experiences which might have been faced out but i am using updated training .

Best Wishes 🙏
Not interested in your resume, only ask is to refrain from giving wrong information. You should also go back for a refund for the courses you have taken on visa policy, there are clearly gaps in your training. I generally don’t comment, but I have been a beneficiary of nairaland and got my express entry solely from learning and contributing to this platform, one thing we never did was to share information we were not sure of because the implication can be negative for someone who uses the wrong information shared. You fill this forum with so much details a lot which are incorrect and someone goes on to follow it and gets in trouble.

Where you have valid information contribute, but try to refrain from giving wrong information, you don’t need to have all the answers.

Apologies to everyone for spamming the thread, this is my last response. I have read these responses for weeks and just had to call it out.

Hey 🤠

1. Change your date format to USA . Write it thus ; 15 /04/2024.

2. Also , you must apply for emergency visa appointment under one of the following :

Student Emergency
Medical Emergency
Business Emergency

Best Wishes 🙏
US date format is mm/dd/yyyy which is what the poster quoted originally, what you put is Nigerian date format dd/mm/yyyy. It’s okay to not know the answer to every question.

Good morning everyone. Please I need your help. We applied for visa renewal under interview waiver as a family. We all qualified for interview waiver. My husband and I were granted visa but my daughter was refused under 221g. She was asked to schedule another interview. Which we have done. Question is, we don't know if it's a regular or physical interview or drop off. The confirmation appointment letter is similar to the interview waiver.
Experienced people in the house, can you please throw more light on this. Thank you.
You need to schedule an in person interview, check her portal for dates. Did she stay for a long period on the last visa or think of anything that may have occurred after the last visa that might require an interview. Was she a minor when she was issued the last visa? Try to figure out what it might be so she can prepare and respond to their questions appropriately.

Hey 🤠

1. You are looking for public opinion and you are hammaring on assumptiin ? Why did you not ask the consular or the cgi call centre if you know what you are doing ?

2. My friend , you know nothing about the 221g otherwise you would have followed the instructuion written on it. 221g form is explanatory , its different to 214b.

3. You claimed that you apllied for the IW yourself but you dont know how your daughter will go back and answer her query ?

4. Your daughter is an adult and your family is not looking for avenue for relocating ..Dont tell me that again. Tell your daughter to go back and tell the visa officer .

5. Keep waiting for lies from those who have had the experience before . You will soon realise that USA visa is a chameleon .

Sometimes it is better to sit things out, you don’t have to respond to everything especially if it involves you giving rubbish advice. Your assumptions do not even make sense, I read it and had to go back and read what the poster wrote thinking I missed something. You have okay contributions at times but when you decide to weigh in on every question even where you don’t have experience in the topic your ignorance begins to show.

Hello everyone,
I hope you're all doing well. I wanted to share a bit of a situation I'm dealing with regarding my NOI. I received it back in December and submitted my documents shortly afterward. However, there seems to be a discrepancy with one of the details in my reference letter from a previous job. I mistakenly stated that I finished my tenure there a year earlier than I did. While my total years of experience remain accurate, I have been asked to explain why the dates don't align with what's on my payroll slip.

I'm a bit concerned that simply saying it was a mistake might not suffice and could potentially affect my application. Any thoughts on how I should approach clarifying this with them? I'd really appreciate your advice on the matter.

Thank you for your understanding and assistance. 🙏🏽
Explain it as it is and if you are able to get a letter from the previous employer confirming it was an error that should also help to support the explanation.

The cheap one's are united airlines but it's from Accra to Toronto. They also pass through America but you wouldn't need a transit visa, I made sure I checked that specifically
I suspect you meant “would” not “wouldn’t”, You would need a transit visa to transit through the US unless you have an existing US visa or you are from a visa waiver country. You would not be allowed to board the flight if you don’t have one.
TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Sara2022: 4:03pm On Dec 13, 2022
Everyone should sha be careful with getting strangers to make their application payments, there have been several recent instances where IRCC sends procedural fairness letters to applicants about recalled application fees. These are people who had third parties pay for them and the third party recalled the fees after the payment went through.

Not accusing anyone offering such services of anything, just for people to be careful when making such decisions.

Good morning everyone. it is advisable you send your passport to VFS in Abuja thorugh UPS at Lekki. Once you do that you get your stamped passport after 6 working days.

Mine did not spend more than 6 days.

Dear Customer,

Kindly note that your parcel is not yet ready for pick-up, you would be notified.
