How did you accrue the 15 million? They want to see paper trail of how this was accrued, evidence that your business is trading at the level to have this amount of money etc.
you’ll also need to write a cover letter to explain every grey areas especially about your business.

OP
If I might add, your sister should add in her invitation letter that you will stay with her (accommodation) , and that shell provide food.

You can also mention this in your cover letter.
This way you sponsoring yourself covers flight costs plus any other vacation expenses.


Business account statements and business docs
Your bank statements to prove your personal finances
Then your sisters bank statement

Look through your bank statements that you want to provide and note any influx or outflow you have to explain in cover letter.

Pls keep cover letter simple and concise, you can explain in headings different things you want to highlight.
Eg.
Accommodation
Sis will XXXXX
Personal bank statements
Xxxx

You can get a visitor's visa but you cannot change status. If you decide to stay back then you will an illegal immigrant forever. You cannot get work permit if you overstay the time stamped in. The best thing is for him to file. Yes it might take 8-9 yrs. Patience is the key.

For a married sibling it will take longer
About 14years and counting

Even if she gets to the US on a visit visa the sibling can not file for her there.

If the poster wants immigrate legally then try another country

Please house those who have traveled already,

Can one fly with red oil in his/her bag park?
And I would appreciate list of no-fly items list.

Thanks

Check the country you're flying to
Each country is different.

Not that oil has to be frozen well

You have a way of reaching her since you pay your children's bills.

Next time you reach out tell her that she's breaching court order by not giving you access to them.
Remind her that court grants you full custody of them when they are seven years.
Tell her you cannot continue to pay bills for children you have not physically seen.
Stop paying bills, ignore blackmail guilt tripping and threats and put your foot down.

Good evening,

I had my F2 Visa Interview recently and it was delayed.

This was how my conversation with the VO went:

Greetings...

VO- You are F2, you are joining your husband?

Me - Yes.

VO - What do you do?

Me - I am researcher and I work with xxxx which is a mental health based organisation that focuses on giving a voice to the mentally challenged...

My duties include investigating mental health cases and...

She interrupted me,

VO. How much do you earn?

Me - I earn 120k/month at ****, I also earn an additional average of 100k from freelance academic and content writing jobs.

She nodded.

VO - "That means you earn 220k in a month."

Me - Then I elaborated, "I earn 120 k per month from **** which is my full time job and I get an average of 100 k from freelance content and academic writing jobs monthly.

VO - That's why I said you get a total of 220k in a month.

Me - yes.

VO - Do you have kids yet?

Me - No, we don't.

VO - Have you ever been to any country outside Nigeria?

Me - No.

VO - How long do you plan to spend in the US.

Me - I plan to spend my 4 week work leave in the US to spend time with my husband and give him physical and emotional support. This period also coincides with the Thanksgiving break and it will afford us the opportunity to spend quality time together before I resume back to work and also before I...

She cuts in again,

VO - okay okay.

Then she paused for long and typed on the system.

VO - "I'm sorry you are not qualified and gave me the blue paper."

Please I will appreciate if anyone can help me figure out where I went wrong...

How long does your husband have left for his course? Months or more than a year

Ask him if he was asked if you were planning to join him at some point.

Then I'd say you need to show you can fend for yourself. F2 are not permitted to work in the US.
So just mentioning your salary is not enough. Speak to your savings and your ability to afford the trip

@dduchess90 please reply we are counting on you.

She has even gone to Child Protection department at the Ministry of women Affairs and they said Adoption certificate is what they can issue and it will take a long process but she got someone that said with 500k they can get the certificate for them

Please reply 2 days gone already out of the 10 working days UKVI gave for them to send the documents

Thank you

I'm concerned why she can not get get legal guardianship from the high court

But she's okay getting an adoption certificate by bribing someone in Min of Women &Youth affairs 500k to get it out .

Let people be guided.. Nigeria can not be better than the actions of her citizens.

There is a reason why these rules are there to prevent child from being 'kidnapped'.

Hello, Please do i need a Yellow Fever card for Virgin atlantic flight from Lagos to the UK

No

For reference it's Yellow fever vaccination. It details are printed on a Yellow vaccination card. In Nigeria Port Health authority administers it typically with meningitis vaccination.
Similar to tetanus vaccination it last 10 yrs

Yellow fever used to be rampant in Afruca but that is no longer the case however some African countries still require it.

omoluka:
Ook , i know that i don't need it to travel to US, i just want to get it.

Port Health authority. Typically at borders.
It's a yellow fever vaccination...it's documented on a yellow colored card.
Search for Port Health authority locations

The only one I know of is at the Toll gate just before MM Intl airport.
The same tollgate links to local airport ikeja.

Walk straight to their office...right inside and ask for the vaccination. The vaccination is administered by nurses They would usually ask if you're traveling, if you're not tell them.

Hi Everyone,

Please I need some help with information regarding drop box.
I am currently in the US with my spouse on a L work visa, it is petition based so every 2 years I just have to restamp my visa for entry purposes. My stay validity is not dependent on visa, however if I exit with an expired visa I must restamp at a foreign consulate to reenter.
I am planning on coming to Nigeria for vacation this year and want to use the opportunity to restamp my visa before expiry(already confirmed this is possible). I am eligible for interview waiver and my appointment schedule time is just 1 day. So my questions are listed below.

1. How long does it currently take to get passports back from the day of submission? This is important so I can plan my time off and book accurate flight
2. Can I take my wife passport along and submit for family? That is, does all member of the family have to be present during submission for drop box?
3. Can submission happen in proxy? Lets say the processing wait time for drop box is too long and I decide to come in for a normal interview so I can get my passport back in time, can I apply for drop box on the side for my wife and submit her passport for her?


Thanks in advance, anticipating your responses. Feel free to ask more clarifying questions if I wasn't detailed enough.

You may wanna do this in Mexico US Embassy or Canada US embassy . I think it's just a day trip..
Not sure how long you are coming for vacation and if it's December remember Dec jn Nigeria can be sticky

AgentXxx:
We that came late sef still met it oo in Amazon FC Dartford, some of us were making almost 1k weekly sef. Let me break it down . First four days for night shift is 13.5£perhr, then 5th day is 18.5£ then 6th day is 21.5£ max you could do is 59hrs. The sweet thing is the weekly payment. 😋

I heard DHL was even paying better.

Don't know about now

Let me blow your mind, when Amazon opened another FC and needed workers, if you agree transfer to the new FC you get 5k £ as Moving expenses.

You don't mean it

So this salad master scam is still ongoing ?

The pot they use for the "demonstration" is not the same pot that is sold to you. You will be given an entirely new set of pots.

What your inlaw has done is pretty mean and just utter wickedness.

£4200 for stainless steel pots (yes, salad master is nothing but glorified stainless steel?

How much is Le Cruset (cast iron) pot set?

My Mrs has indulged their nonsense and sat through their presentation three different times and she hasn't budged.

Why would anyone buy stainless steel pots using finance or pay £4200?

I will suggest you lodge a formal complaint compliance@saladmaster.com and include keywords like pressure selling, vulnerability, no affordability checks, consumer duty, etc. I will also suggest you complain to the financial ombudsman service too.

As if I knew
Na confirmed scam
UK we hail o

hustla:
How much do you think the red pots Hilda Baci used during the cookaton cost?

Some pots / utensils can be really expensive but £4200 is really on the high side for regular folk trying to find their way in the UK

Especially if the post cost 2900 but the deal for installments payment over 4years adds 1100 to it.

Hilda got her pots cheaper I'm sure cos there are great brands for good cookware that will last you years.. Besides Hilda is a chef

These guys are barely finding their feet , that's not what you 'promote' to them

yolkman20:
I believe my uncle's wife is a friend to the lady who supplies the pot, she works with a company who owns a franchise with salad master. So she brought the pot to her house when my wife was there and as standard, they have to use the pot to cook for you in your house to educate you on how it works and all of that. We moved it all to our apartment that same night.

We paid for our COS ni o, it wasn't even free.

On spot, you'll them set a DD for monthly payment. The pot itself if 2900 while the total payment after installment is 4200. I have been keeping mute just to avoid issues but it's getting choked.

O my goodness. Scammer wey camouflage.
Why do ppl do this.
Forgive I wish I had more advice to give you but this is unbelievable.

yolkman20:
I had to give up because of Wifey's condition. The most painful thing was I later discovered that I could actually return it within 14days of buying it, but they lied because of the referral they wanna get. I just need a legal way to opt out. Otisumi

What condition? That she's preggie

Isn't the 4yr bondage she's invariably in not longer?
Plus the potential or current bitterness you'll have towards your inlaws for years to come.

Your wife can manage without them when she gives birth. If you live with them pls move out.
Wife doesn't even have shifts to work sef

Like c'mon now 4200 quid for pots? POTS not a car .

yolkman20:
Hello everyone,
Please I need advice.
I'm in a situation and i need advice on how to opt out.
So my uncle wife took advantage of my wife because of too much respect. (wifey bleeped up big time). We recently moved close to them because she's the one who helped us with COS. She recommended a cooking pot (salad master) as we needed to set up the house and kitchen, but i declined immediately after i heard the price (4200 pound DD payment for 4years for 5pcs set.)
During the chat, i discovered she'll get about 500quid referral and thats why she's desperate for us to buy it. The discussion happend about 3 other times and my response was no. My uncle got involved at a point and he also supported her wife because that's what they use too but i insisted. Then she turned to my wife and start to convince her but we'd already discussed and it was a NO.
Fast forward to a month after, my wife was in their house sleeping, she then woke her up only for her to see the pot has been supplied, and they were already cooking with it for her induction and to use it. In the prescense of the supplier, my wife tried telling her we've already discussed this many times and we were not interested but she cut her and told her since they were already cooking with it, we cant opt out. She couldnt call me because she wasn't with her phone. She ensured all the paper works was done and DD was set before she let her near her phone. My wife has so much regard for her and that's why she couldn't say NO. Too much respect...

I got to know that day and i got mad at her, how can you let her lure you into a 4k financial engagement despite several discussions, she just dey cry and she was preggy....

I immediately told her to come take the pot but the supplier said no way, DD has been set and there's no going back)(dey don plan am.)
Bleep up i did was, i should've rang the company directly but i just gave up because i dont want issues between me and egbon.
Now, COS no get shift, there's no work in cardiff at all and all the load is on me. DD is 94quid per month and it's choking.

Here is my question, is there anything i can do to opt out legally? we're 6 months into the contract and it feels like forever, i dont mind losing 1k just to opt out, but i dont wanna do this no more... We can't afford with the all the bills and expenses we already have.

It's tiring...
I look forward to ya'lls suggestions

How did they order the pot set and you are paying for it.
They have access to your cards?
How're they using it to cook do you live with them

If it's on your card I think it's too late.

Invariably your wife has paid for her 'COS'

This is my opinion on this migration issue too, I think there's no Utopia anywhere. A family friend finished his master's earlier this year here in the UK, next thing he is trying to migrate to Canada using the school route now again and I ask myself, what exactly is going on? Nawa o.

Na only him know wetin dey chase am

Solumtoya:
This is actually viable. I remember coming into the UK and was earning about £800 weekly as a Warehouse Operative. I got a £50k offer and jumped at it immediately. I was earning less than the Warehouse job but had the "hope" of earning more in future. The "hope" came to fruition in a few months.

I advise he does what @Gemma11 said: continue the care as part time to beef up the salary. That was what I did, I was doing my Warehouse job during the weekends.

Warehouse job for 800quid a week? Where
See me see better...where was this when I was in the UK.

Starph:
Good evening Everyone,
I just found this link. Plssss help me through. My interview is on Monday!!! and I am having dilemma on how to present
‘’what’s your purpose of travel’’ question if/when asked.
Let me explain my situation And I will appreciate professional reply to it urgently 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I want to go to US for my 1month leave from work but will be staying only 3weeks. I also have an invitation from a friend( a citizen- resides there with family)

I am married with a baby. Travelled to US before but passed the Dropbox validity,
So I want to ask the best way to answer the question ‘purpose of travel to US’

Do I say My husband and I discussed that I take my 30 days leave to US on vacation though I will be staying only 3weeks or do I say I am going to visit my family friend and his family whom I haven’t seen since my last trip to US (since I will be staying in their house) ??
Also I am a med personnel and sponsoring myself.

Pls someone should kindly help me through this dilemma.

Urgennnnnnnntttt😢😢

Do you typically get anxious at interviews?

Why are you concerned about saying your reason to the VO

Since you've traveled before you know will state your purpose of travel at the border patrol

You don't have a dilemma unless there's something you're not saying.


Did you have the baby in the US? If you didn't then no problem.

julzz:
Hi, please how did you go about booking the interview waiver, I need someone to put me through, I’ve paid the visa fee, in the process of filling ds160 then what next?

Go to the website and see if you even qualify for interview waiver.

My son and I applied for an F-2 visa to visit my wife, who recently gave birth last month.

I checked my online visa interview appointment history, and there's a box that says 'Is Dependent: False.' for my own application.

What does this mean? Can anyone explain it to me? Thank you very much.

I'd think it's because you're an adult?

Zahra29:
Many migrants seem to be on an eternal search for an earthly utopia with ultra high paid jobs,ultra low taxes, free quality healthcare (with zero waiting lists), cheap insurance and housing, sublime weather, high levels of immigration but tolerant natives and government, a country that "works" but where they can also do as they please....

I digress 😂

Anyways, have you paid attention to the news coming out of Canada and Australia? The biting cost of living and serious problems with scarce and unaffordable housing? The pressures on their public services? For example, I read the other day that some Canadians are opting to go abroad e.g. to India to get MRIs and other scans done, instead of waiting over 1 year for the same tests in Canada.

Point is, many of the economic issues being faced in the UK are also being replicated in pretty much all major Western countries, and are far worse in the migrants' home countries, so they might need to relocate to another planet to find a land they don't consider "gloomy".

This.right here eternal Utopia
People leave and stay for their own reasons.
To the OP don't assume everyone had the same expectations or drivers for leaving .
Nothing is new about the UK economy or how the UK treats migration. It's a cycle of rinse and repeat corresponding to election cycle.

Migration to Ireland, UK, Canada, US sef is decade long. The only difference now is YOU since You're now in a position or age that those options matter to you.

Greetings to the house!!

Kemluv004:
Can I please get your contact?
I need to get through to you please.
Kindly reach out to me on kemluv004@yahoo.com. thanks

Have you been DQ?
What's your PD?

As much as I understand the wait is long (trust me I personally know.) there are a few things to consider
Note that proving you are not married is more than just deleting marriage certificate. Also know that traditional marriage counts as marriage even if it doesn't have a certificate.

If you have other documents in your married name nko? Including previous passports and previous trips.

Has your 'hubby' ever applied for a visa and filled out spouse with your details and DOB.

Before you go for your interview you'll still fill DS260 form ..there you will put details of where you've lived in the past .

Immigrant interview is still an interview oh. I still had to bring out pictures with petitioner over long period of time. They asked of everyone in the picture.

If you have children with birth certificates with both parents names?


Then if you manage to scale this, when you get the visa you'll unlikely be able to remarry your husband/wife for another 2 years and more..because you'll file for him as an LPR and prove your relationship. You will now be the sponsor that has to have tax returns and income that meets the required level to file for a spouse

It's food for thought cos it can get complex.

The person that started this thread pretty16 also waited for over 10years had 3 kids with bf and told him so they did not marry. Even with that as at 1yr post arriving in the US she had not filed for father of her kids
Maybe she can share her timeline whenever she checks this thread

PhilJames:
Hi everyone,

Good morning.

So my mother in-law was issued a 6 months visit visa from August 2023 to February 2024 to come and nurse her daughter who gave birth in June 2023. But unfortunately due to some factors she could not travel in August, she will be coming in first week of October. During the application I stated that she will be staying for 1 month.

Currently we want her to stay till February next year before going back.

Now here comes the main concern/question, my sister in-law who's equally here in the UK will be giving birth in that same February 2024 based on the scan she did.

So my question is, if my mother in-law goes back to Nigeria in February and reapplies for visit visa to come and take care of my sister in-law, will her visa be granted?

Please help with your inputs and suggestions..

Thank you very much...

Please note: Her flight (return ticket) has been booked from October to February

Let your mum go in October as you've planned.
She's there to visit her daughter and see her grandkid.. Oct to Feb visit for 4months? Then another visit almost immediately after won't really work.


For your sister inlaw - if mama applies immediately after she returns that she's going back then her application would be looked at differently. Oct to Feb visit for 4months? Then another visit almost immediately after won't really work.

Unless you decide to stick to the original 1month visit in October as initially said.
Then apply for another visa for the next visit in March 2024 and this time your mum can spend 4minths visiting both families.

EkelediliBuhari:
Thanks for your impute.

She has passion for catering, nothing she loves more, she refused to make cloths after learning and buying equipment.

The only problem in working is the rat race never ends… and she won’t want to be a disappointment by quitting after sometime. She will want to prove that she can do it knowing who she is…

For making money, she makes money yes… am also 100% confident she can make x5 her present profit margins in the near future if she keeps her present work rate.

How come you don't want to take over your Dad's business?

I'm not sure what the problem is. She's already an entrepreneur..you just said she has a catering business.

If she's applying for a 9-5 then maybe she wants to have that experience...what's the problem? Sebi if you doesn't like it she can quit and focus on the catering gig squarely.

She's an individual, stop charting a family vision that depends solely on what YOU see.
Your attempts are coming off as a father not a husband
If you your father's son did not follow in your father's business why do you expect her to just plug in because it makes sense to you.
Even your infant children don't always obey

The song niggas in Paris by Kanye west is real.

Don't expect Paris to be like the movies. If you go to the Eiffel tower, you would think you are in Cameroon. It's filled with west African migrants who are hawking stuff, with police chasing them like chickens daily.

I saw this video (link below) where an Asian lady went to Paris and was disappointed because it was filled with blacks

Best to go other tourist places, or just enjoy taking boat cruise or walking down Champs D' lysee ( I probably butchered the spelling)
