Dear visa officer Hello friends Pls I need an urgent advice on my coming non immigrants US visa interview. I am temporary residents in South Africa with valid permit I applied for tourists visa in 2012 Dec but was refused. During d interview the consular asked me about my intention I told him my cousin invited me for December holiday and immediately he started telling me the stories about my cousin, that he got married in US to get citizenship I was shocked by his attitude but maintain my composure. Later he calm down and ask me 2nd questions about myself. I was glad at least,he asked me about my job, length of my permit but still denied me. Anyway it 2 yrs + now and I am going on a conference. I am married with 2 children, gat a job, I am travel to Nigeria. What do I expect? What are my chance? Thanks |
Hi funkybaby. I have decided to withdraw my passports because I really need them so bad since I have to renew my permit here in SA. But what baffle is dat they have not reply my email notifying them of my intention to withdraw unlike before when I ask for Application status. From the house does it take long to return passport again? Oga ooo funn this uk self. Cheers funkybaby: Yeah, it must be really frustrating and annoying for you. |
Hi funky Thanks I av given some reasons like I couldn't do inside banking transactions and travel plans to home country since I'm in SA. All to no avail. All they tell me is pls be patient, its being process,we are conducting local checks, or if u can't wait u can withdraw your application. I tire But God dey and His ways are not same with man's. Cheers! funkybaby: asking for your passport back means you are withdrawing your application. the passport is usually held on to for the entire time the application is ongoing.. |
Dear target 007 and Dis Guy, Thanks I can hold on up till 25/10/2013, which by then my application would av been 10 weeks. After then I will ask for the passport regardless. I just wonder why " local checks" or " being processed" can take a country like Uk this long. Its unfair. Tofunmi2 Vicjustice: They will not necessary cancel his application, the application can still go on, they'll contact him to bring back the passport if the application is sucessful. |
Dis Guy Thanks. Can I ask for my passport while they continue with the visa process cos I av paid for it already. Cheers |
Tofunmi2: Hello ALL Dis Guy: Are you based in South Africa?Thanks for your suggestion. I live and work here with the South African Government. On the VFS/Uk visa website, processing times for visa is 15 working days for 90% applicants and 15 to 30 working days for 98% applicants. Mine don pass these two categories. Can I request for my passport and still tell them to carry on with the processing? Will they still grant me after such a delay as other ghanians we apply together as collected theirs in 15 working days? Thwn what are my future chances? God bless u ALL. |
Hello ALL Congrats to those dat have collected their visa. For me I av applied for 7 weeks now. Still under process. The date for d conference don pass. Uk visa south africa still tells me they are conducting local checks on my application. ECO even said I can withdraw if I can't be patient. Please I need your advise ooo Dis Guy: congrats to all those that got their visas recently |
Yes o. I am positive and also praying but just don't know y mine has taking so long. My friends have taking theirs after 15 working days. This Uk visa wahala don tire me. Vicjustice: Are you still hoping for a positive outcome? |
Hello pple in the house. I am yet to receive any message from vfs. After 7 weeks of submission. When I e-mail them. They told me "they are conducting local checks on my visa application" Another time I email and the guy said pls be patient your application is being processed or if u want your passport u can email stating u want to withdraw. Just imagine! I need my passport badly! Pls advice |
