Hello , please how fast is canada tourist visa approval like.
How long does it take please.

Hi everyone, please I need clarification. I got my Canada visit visa last year with my maiden name which is now expired. I ready reapplied to renew my visa however with a new passport and new last name, I declined having biometrics done again (because I was thinking my details will still come up) on the new one. Surprisingly, I still do not have biometrics details on my new application, please what do I do in this regard.

Oh thank you.

Bigkenny:
Are you asking for the processing office?

Visitor applications submitted through the Canada Embassy in Nigeria are processed in Nairobi, Kenya.

Hello everyone, any idea on how to know a Canada visit application office.

You'll most likely use either a dorm account card, virtual dollar card (the type from Flutterwave) or get someone in the US to help you pay and you give the person naira.

Greatajo:
Good evening house, I'm trying to pay for an application fee $65 but its somehow declining. How do I go about it considering the dollar spending limit? Thank you

Good to see you filled another @sofia21211 because the instruction on the appointment confirmation is DS160 filled and submitted within 6 months

[quote author=Diamondroyal post=118735956][/quote]I don't know o. The May 1 2022 visa fee criteria popped up on my parents profile, you can try your luck

You don't need police clearance certificates for US F1/F2 visa

mayor2013:
Pls I need an answer to this question

Yes, you now qualify for interview waiver provided you paid visa fee prior to May 1 2022. Dropbox validity has been extended to 48 months. I was able to get appointments dates for both my parents for 1st week in Dec

Yerfod:
Hi Fellow Nairalanders,

Please I have a very simple question which needs urgent response.

I have searched and research online but I keep getting conflicting reports, so im just going to be direct.

My last b1/b2 visa expired in Sept 2019, "am I qualified for interview waiver or not, considering the aforementioned ?

Thanks in advance �

You can enter the US any day after your earliest admission date

Patricel:
Please I would like to know if landing in US on 19th of July with earliest admission of 13th of July is not a bad idea for F1 visa and dependent on F2 in resuming for Fall 2022. I hope the CBD officers won’t frown at it ?

olamitidey:

We are here...what do you need

Hello @Chibertha.....please I want to pm you to ask personal questions (if you don't mind)

Hello @Predstan, I want to pm you seeing that you studied at MTSU.

Visa Transcript
My profile:
Second master’s degree
Location: Abuja
COA: $36,500
Scholarship: $8,000
Status: Approved!!! (Window 9)

1st Attempt – Lagos, (December 1- surge date) MTSU
2nd Attempt - Abuja (9th March) MTSU.

After my first delay, I was disappointed and this is because I’ve been to the US couple of times and had two kids in between in the US. However, the Lagos VO wasn’t even interested in my I20 but more about my kids and my sister who was supposed to be in the US at the time but was in Nigeria trying to renew her F1 visa.

Anyway to the transcript proper, (questions in no particular order)

VO: Have you been to the US before? I see you are going to MTSU
Me: yes
VO: how many times and what did you go for?
Me: thrice, holiday with family and other times to have my babies
VO: So you have 2 America Citizens? Any other children
Me: yes, 2 citizens and no other child
VO: I see you are going to MTSU. What course and why?
VO: IT project management. I choose the course because while I was considering a career change and looking for a degree to empower my transition and offer me new and better opportunities, it came top on the list.
VO: Tell your study plan?
Me: for the successful completion of my course, I’m required to complete 30 credit semester with 2 years. I’ll be taking courses like IT project risk & recovery, IT planning & implementation, IT project strategies for success, applied business analytics, big data analytics amongst others (she was nodding and actively listening).
VO: why did you pick MTSU?
Me: I picked MTSU over my other admits because my graduate coordinator assured I could cope despite not having an IT background and most especially because I got 23% off my COA.
VO: How did you get it (scholarship)?
Me: well my school has merit scholarship for international students which is dependent on your GPA evaluation. In my case, I had 3.64/4.0 hence why I got it.
VO: Where did you do your bachelors and course?
Me: I graduated from xxxx University here in Nigeria and studied Tourism management.
VO: So what did you do in the UK?
Me: Well I had a master’s degree there in 2013 and I have since returned back to Nigeria.
VO: (still nodding) So you don’t intend to work in US?
Me: Not at all.
VO: So where do you work?
Me: I work at a federal government instruction and I intend to transfer from there to Galaxy Backbone Limited to take up the role of an IT project manager upon return to Nigeria.
VO: So this will be your second master’s degree.
Me: Yes, it will.
VO: Are you married?
Me: yes, I am married
VO: Will your husband and be going with you?
Me: No he won’t.
VO: I see you have a sister in the US, where does she live and school.
Me: She schools at Campbellsville University. (she interrupted, what location is that?) I replied oh it’s in Kentucky.
VO: Oh I see you had an interview in Lagos.
Me: I had an interview but I couldn’t get my visa so I deferred from spring 2022 to fall 2022.
VO: Ok ….. (she typed and typed, erased somethings too).
VO: I’ll be recommending you for the visa, take this white paper, it will tell you how to pick up at the VI location. Also kindly go with your I20, you’ll be needing it at the POE as its very important.
Me: thank you, thank you, thank you very much (with smiles).
VO: Its ok….(she smiled).

Things to note……
1. Oh my God, I prayed ehen because I was disappointed in Lagos as it was also my birth month and I got such a news on the first day of the month.
2. I immediately paid another visa fee same day but didn’t check for a date until January 2022.
3. I initially picked April 7 only to get a mail from the embassy that my appointment had been moved from April 7 to March 9. I got the notice 5 days prior to my interview date.
4. In answering why I was refused a visa in my DS160, I explained my ties back home as the reason why I can’t be going for long (I figured she was reading through them).
5. No documents was requested.

Hello guys, please is it advisable for someone resuming fall 2022 to attend visa interview in February 2022?

Check out University of Law. They have campuses in London, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham and Birmingham

Loverquin:
Hi guys

Please can anyone help me with a university in UK whose enrollment starts in may or June for LLM (Masters in Law).

Responses will be highly appreciated.

Yes. Kindly attend the interview but make sure you print the surge appointment mail sent to you.

doshman99:
Hello guys,

Please, I applied for Emergency Appointment and Lagos surge request last week. On Monday the 22nd of Nov, I got an approval from the Lagos surge and I was scheduled for an interview on 1st of December. Two days later on the 24th of Nov, my EA was denied..

I want to ask if I should still go to the embassy on the 1st of December

Can I change from Lagos or Abuja, it seems hard to get a date in Lagos… kindly, advise

Oh shit..... This is a very dicey one. First, congratulations on your approval but I know you can't fully rejoice because of their delays. I feel you shouldn't have applied with your hubby, just you and baby should have. Anyways, I feel you should try to see if you can reapply for only your baby in Lagos because a 6months old is too young to be dropped, you are definitely still nursing. In your next interview, kindly let the VO know the baby will be attending your Uni's daycare/childcare. All the best!

anjyy:
Thanks to everyone that assisted me on this journey.

I later deferred.

I have done my interview at the Abuja Embassy with the dreadful Korean guy.

VO : Do you have any travel history?
Me : None.
VO : what do you do currently?
Me : I am a lecture at XYZ
VO : Ok.
VO: What is your highest qualification?
Me: I have a masters Degree with Distinction
VO: Who is paying for your Trip?
Me: my husband.
VO to my husband: what do you do?
Him : I work as an Engineer at ABC
VO : How much do you make?
Him: I make 500k monthly.
VO : Do you have your bank statements?
Him: Yes. He showed him.
VO : This is ok.
VO: what would you be doing in the US?
Him: I am going with my family to settle them in, I would be back to my job.
Him: I have some projects I need to come back to.
VO: Where would the baby be?
Him: She would be staying at the creche.

VO: Madam, I would be approving only your visa.
Unfortunately I won't be granting your baby and your husband.

My baby is just 6 months.

I am thinking of reapplying for her, please advise.

I wonder why a 6 months baby would be denied. I am going for PHD.

Applying for EA without sevis payment receipt will be rejected.

mojolajesu:
Since one can’t pay servis fee at the moment, is it advisable to apply for ER without the servis fee receipt

Please I need an urgent advise guys

Printed copy from the email is fine

mojolajesu:
Hello guys,

Please do I need my school to send the original copies of I-20 or can I use the printed copy from the one sent in my email.

I want to be sure before I apply.

Thank you

According to your post/transcript you said the VO asked if you have any siblings in the US, you said no (and didn't fill it in the DS160) even though you have 2. You've forgotten that there's a section in the form that asks you for your parents information (names & DOB) and you already share the same details with two other people too much for it to be a coincidence. I hope you understand, let the seniors too weigh in

tmann626:
How? please explain

If you do not have anyone to help you over there, kindly send @walspring a PM. He's helped people here make the payment.

AlphaMilano:
Please brothers i want to pay for my SEVIS fee to enable me use the receipt for emergency appointment but i was meant to understand thatni cant pay it from nigeria here through western union in any local bank.. please i need urgent help on how i can pay for it as tomorrow is monday. Thank you all

The reason for your denial is pretty obvious; it's a clear case of misrepresentation. Better luck next time

Congratulations @LucyAA. This was such a beautiful one.

lucyAA:
Congratulations, I will be approving your visa blah blah blah.
I was speechless and suddenly turned deaf.
Me: Thank you very much Sir, you made my day!

So guys here are a few tips;
1. Pray like you’ve never prepared, and prepare like you’ve never prayed. You have to trust God with all your heart and commit your ways unto him. My approval today was purely by His Grace. I kept on confessing positive things, and calling my visa into existence while fasting and praying.
2. Don’t listen to what people say. I was told they hardly approve visa in Lagos. I was told there are always few approvals for those going for spring entry. I was told that once you have been delayed, it becomes difficult to get an approval. I was asked to give up and probably try other countries. But, all these didn’t stop me. I only focused my heart, ears and mind to what God said in the bible regarding victory and I stood by that word.
3. There is no “One answer fits all”, you have to be unique and stand out. You have to speak with passion, You have to be confident and you must first believe in your heart to get the approval. Anything is possible if you believe!!
WHAT GOD CANNOT DO, DOES NOT EXIST.

Anyone?

Hello everyone. I'd appreciate your insightful opinion. I'm considering MS Information Systems (IT Project Mgt concentration) for spring, I have made some applications but I just need to know if its possible.
Background story: I have a BS & MS in Tourism 2010 & 2013 respectively both from Naija & UK. I have been working in such capacity since then but I'm tired, I need something more challenging (job for the future & in another country) hence why I decided to change course to IT as against going for tourism PhD. Do you think going ahead with this change (second masters) would sit well with the VO when the time comes. I have done my WES official evaluation of both degrees 3.67 & 3.81/4.00. Also, both my kids are US citizens, bills paid at both times.

I woke up to my profile in the pool and no longer pending. Those with the profile pending can check theirs.

Congratulations @Setf. May the land favor you and yours.

Hi house, how long does it take to get the test results after taking the IELTS test?

Please help. I created my profile yesterday, While I have profile number and UCI, I do not have validation code. There's also something like my profile is pending.... Could this be the reason I do not have the code yet? I also did not get an email notification of the profile created.
