Its only the US embassy that has a different way of confirming if they decide to confirm, they use the signature book. That's why a real bank statemeny will have beside its signature the page no. Of the signatory. Its normally written pg. 1 or pg. 2 or whatever page number the signatory is on the signature book

Hello. It sounds a little bit funny though. Does the Embassy truly verify account statement submitted to them? I think banks do not disclose ones account details to another person, even if d person is your blood. This is bcs I want to use same account I used for my visa for my wife and kids in quick succession. Can this work please house?

I can say with all confidence that they do confirm but not all the time. Have worked in a bank before in Nigeria and internal control do get mails from embassies asking for the authenticity of bank statements. The embassies scans the statements to IC of the bank and IC replies if its authentic "this is a true reflection of Mr. So so's account as at so so date", that's all the bank will never disclose the current balance. Their response will only be based on the statements sent to them. It takes less than 10 mins to confirm. But a lot of embassy staff are lazy so they might skip it. But, yes they confirm

@just2okworld please I don't reply to emails I saw your PMs, I don't respond to nairaland messages if u want me to do anything pls say it here

Hello, I live in SA, Johannesburg to be precise, there is really nothing to look forward to in SA anymore, the economy is on a downward slide, permits are harder to get now, education is getting worse, please don't stress yourself emphasis is on stress to come to SA. I must admit I am doing extremely well thanks to God, but for every of me there are 9 others not doing well. I got Permanent Residency, and it was just God cos for all of us that applied myself and my wife were the only ones approved. SA is not a place for people without sound education and forget SA if you are not in any of these fields Science, Technology, Engineering or Medicine (STEM). A lot of companies in SA want to come to naija, forget the $ price in naija now, but Naija is the next big thing in the world. Peace

Folks. What does it take to apply for a business visa? What are the requirements?

You need to prove that you are investing or you will invest a minimum of 5 million Rands (about 75m Naira) in SA

@ staggerlee,
Thanks for that brief hint. In actual sense, Neco is my supervisor and seems to be (virtually) nice to me. He assisted in pinning down my admission because I'v had to defer it 3 times. Funny enough for Falowo, he happens to be my lecturer here in Nigeria during my final year days in d university. I approached him for supervision first but later referred me to Dlodlo and Neco saying he already had enough student for that year. For Dlodlo, he accepted being my supervisor but cautioned me on the topic I first chose. I finally turned to Neco who accepted me all through. To me, one cannot have PhD cheaply anywhere in the world except you want to buy your way through which hardly happens anywhere also. If I can recollect your quote, Neco and Falowo are frustrating while Dlodlo will not help academically, but nice. So out of the three who is the best? Finally, I think what one needs in sailing through is the usual hardwork backed by thorough prayers for uncommon favours.
Once again, thanks a bunch. Please I will appreciate if I can get your email or phone number so we can talk one on one.

Dlodlo's students graduate on time, how? I don't know, if u need any letter from ur supervisor to support any application he is willing to help. He is a nice man, good @ heart, but his knowledge in the academic world is shallow, Neco sef knows nothing, some even says he has no masters and he will push u without contributing, Falowo is dumb, you have to do eye service for falowo, very petty guy. There is a guy mungu, he is sound but a saddist, all of the by and large are sick, UCT is a good school, but electrical is bleeped, they just use the name of UCT, but students in electrical go thru hell, must masters students that graduate in electrical go elsewhere to get phd

Ok then wish u the best, Neco has a lot of students who have not graduated, even at masters level, I know a guy masters student, he went behind him and submitted his thesis, the external examiner passed him, Neco said his thesis didn't make sense, and the guy didn't graduate, the guy will push student to write papers, but won't contribute, if you need a letter from your supervisor to support maybe an application for scholarship, the guy will dull you. But all the best. When u come in I will get your digits and call you

Splendid. I'm on scholarship and going for Electrical Engineering. I'v not paid tuition but i'v registered for their health plan. I'm actually going with my family bcs my wife is also going for her MSC in Nursing, so we will start d visa processing hopefully by November. Any input on the visa processing for us (Myself, wife and 2 kids) is welcome.

Make sure ur supervisor is not Neco nor Falowo. You can try Doldo but Doldo will not assist you academically, but he is nice, Neco and Falowo will frustrate you. UCT is the "wrongest" place for electrical but as a naija person you will pull through
