Who is attacking you.

You sound like u are just trying to be relevant cos u have no point.....

Are you an American? You dont even sound like one

123JohnF:

Lol, I am so sorry he didn't ask you before what he SHOULDN'T do. He does what he wants and what is our law. Are you a US Senator or Congressman for to have the authority to complain or to dictate what our embassy employees should or shouldn't do in his/her job? Our stuff is very professional and very well trained. It's NOT your business to tell them how to do their work.

Obinoscopy:
Don't be so hard on yourself and other Nigerians seeking visit visa. Visit visa can be used to go visit one's fiance as long as he or she intends to return to Nigeria after the visit. Below are things that can be done on a visit visa:

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/tourism-visit/visitor.html

Option a, b, c and e are activities that are done during "dating". So I wonder why you say two people who are in love can't "date" in the US.

I believe they can "date" as long as the Nigerian can prove that (s)he has no immigration intent. It's the same kind of proof that someone whose relative (mum, dad, siblings, etc) is based in the US is required to provide in his/her visit visa application. Nothing different.

cc: 123JohnF

TWoods:


He is free to find someone else to date from his own country where a visa will not be an issue. He cannot expect to use a visit visa to "date". That's not what it was meant for. If their relationship is serious then they should get a K1 visa, if not, let them find other people to date.

123JohnF:

If they wish to date longer, CO will tell them to see each other in another country or the America citizen moving to live abroad for to be close to his/her date. It is not obligatory to date on US territory. The couple is free to date, so many countries with no visa problem, to live together for years, marry when you want, nobody is forcing you to marry. K1 visa is not forcing, it is the visa for people who already decided to marry and to live in America. Also, you can come on K1 visa, stay 90 days and not marry, going back to your country.

Who is forcing you to marry?

Obinoscopy:
That's not fair because the K1 visa forces them to get married within 3 months. Some people date for years before getting married. K1 visa won't be ideal for such people as it will not allow them date for years. The ideal visa for them will be the visit visa until such a time they are ready to take the next step which will then involve getting the K1 Visa.

I understand where you're coming from but still, using words like "una dey cry" in a forum like this seems a bit too far. We were all wrong and right from our individual point of view, and explicitly, I didn't say Wajt was holier than thou.

Dishing abuses is very easy, acting calm even when being stepped upon is harder. From your point of view, u may believe Wajt had gone wrong as regards what this forum stands for; yes you are right but don't use wrong to correct wrong (if d English is correct) as it is against nairaland rules to be abusive or use vulgar languages.

Ain't supporting anybody and I'm against no one. But still, let's all employ emotional intelligence and respect one another.

Please house, what do you advice?

Husband and wife want to apply for tourist visa. no children yet, wife not pregnant. Husband is the main applicant, gainfully employed with a good pay check and currently servicing a mortgage. Wife is self employed, running a start-up company duly registered with all financials and tax details. funds available is about N7,000,000 (CAD25,000) majorly from the husband. Is it advised that both apply at the same time? if not, who should apply first?

Just to be sure 100% too

If a husband and wife are applying for Canadian tourist visas from Nigeria and the husband is the sponsor, do they use just 1 application profile (not the application form imm5257) where the husband provides details required of him and the wife is listed as a family member accompanying the husband or 2 separate applications profiles and have them linked just like UK applications?

"Do you want to submit an application for a family member?" This question is the issue. If the husband answered yes, the attached picture is all required of the wife.

I get all you guys point. The main essence of the thread is to share & proffer advise on tourist visa, and not to support the illegality in achieving it.

However, we need to be cautious of how we address our holy truth. Say the truth but don't be abusive and disrespectful; even though you feel you're Methuselah and far older than all of us here, do know that even that kid next to you deserves some respect.

Life is funny, since you're not trying to "Japa" like some school of thought would say; you may go for an interview, it may leads to how internet savvy you are and you may wan show say you dey nairaland, this may make the interviewer more interested and ask after your username on nairaland, and the hiring manager would be one of us here; and they would know you lack communication skill, compassion, inability to work with teams and in a team as you're always abusive, hot tempered. You barely know the personality behind that name you're seeing on nairaland, it may be your bridge later.

What I'm saying is that "don't use people to get point", talk to them politely and still make your point. Let them know their wrong but don't talk to them as if you dey garri them. Everyone deserves some respect, even your housemaid.

And those that post for advise, acknowledge your wrong like Wajt did. Truth is always bitter.

Let us all stop attacking personality, it is a forum.

Chips101:


You are a bad person. You are a liar, selfish and the same as every politician you curse out. Because, when presented with choices you and the corrupt politician do the exact same thing... say Fxxk you to everyone else and take care of only yourself. You will not flourish and I hope you and your family get deported.

emily111:


Sometimes when I read on NL I feel so sad because many people talking and accusing this man are also planning or have tried the same way he did but they are not successful with that and later realized they did the wrong it.

People like them they carry another person matter for head.

To me is better you stay low key and read. Here than bringing your problem or ideas here they will never appreciate it, na people like them go come here make mouth, mean why they are doing the same thing at the back

@chip101 you deserve to be banned from NL with the way you coursed that man and wish him bad with is family. What your business with is life, if you cant help or give advice then you keep your mouth sealed. If you anyone wish your family bad would you be happy

Wajt:

@chips101
Christ!!! Why are u so bitter? Don't judge any man in that manner.
Flourish?! That's so crude
Come back and say the same thing when:
U have been robbed 6 times and millions carted away
When ur wife's plate number is texted to you by criminals
When ur security man is shot dead
When ur manager is still recovering from a gun shot in the ankle and u r paying thousands of Naira that has accumulated in to millions in treating him
Come back and say this same thing when u pay SARS to get the button of it and they bring u no result.

Don't just play the judge of character,my 5 ur old daughter has been to more countries that u can ever visit in ur life. Staying back in the States is not becoz I can't send them to good schools and afford meals on the table. It is bcoz this bleeped up country scares the shit out of me.

Wajt:
@granmurdafucker, Thanks for the subtle comments though some sounded like u were mocking me but all the same thanks.
@oluayebenz, Thanks
Landed in Hartsfield ATL. All i was asked " why is your family still in the states" and i responded " We are battling with marital issues" she wanted some time away. I had an onward ticket,hotel reservation for Canada though. I just pack everything put for the guy desk and left him to go through them. I am not saying i am not in the wrong but some people on this thread can make Otedola feel like their house boy sha.

I think we should take it easy with criticism of the man, he made a mistake and he's sober, let not add salt to his wound.

Wajt:

She is not idle and my kids are in school already. Presently,they are illegals but that won't be for long. I just need ideas to ensure I don't get banned or turned back at POE

abeniagbon:


if you can read me well, I said gone are the days.

they want people to come and invest. doing shopping or sight seeing ain't part of those investment they want for now.. when they give you visa. it's a trial to see what your travelling could fetch into there economic

on b1/b2 visa will experience such disappointment for now. other visa type can be considered

Nersh:
I think it’s more about the initial use of the visa than subsequent uses. For you to have approached them for a visa, you must have intended to use it for something. If it had been used for that purpose, subsequent uses will matter less. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite happen like that for you. You might be able to get another visa should a need arise for you in the future. Goodluck.

mfonox:


Really? Tell me about it. What other real reasons is there to visit “almighty America” u sound dumb....

I’m a lady by the way and my reason and only reason for visiting was shopping and sight seeing. Sorry that I didn’t have more elaborate plans. But I will spend my vacation how I intend to and will never lie just to secure a visa. There are other countries to visit. If us no give me another one go give me if I choose to try. If not I save my money and remain in my country. It’s not that serious.

abeniagbon:


you're one of the reason why they don't give new applicants visa.

there are still many of you that they will denies to give chance for the real people,

going to America to visit a friend, and do shopping,. they need real people.

awumen:
and you assume few of your own comments don't annoy others here?moreover I ddnt force my advice on anyone here but i stand by my policy, don't patronise AGENTs.

Omorwumi:

Somebody help�����somebody

Betheldukeman:

Pls someone help a brother with this enquiry

Abuleoshi:

Canada hardly gives visa to those who apply with Hotel Reservations. An invitation letter from someone based there is your best bet. Even with 10m in your bank account, as long as you don't have an invitation letter, you will get exact same result
