Good morning house. Please what's the average wait time for visas now?

This is not a normal period. The pandemic is affecting everything right now because most jobs reduce the number of employees at work at same time due to social distancing. This will affect the average processing time of visas

Good afternoon house. I applied for a visitors visa and got it in february to go for holiday. Its 6 months and expires in September. I rebooked my ticket for middle of next month (August) hoping the airport will be open by then but I am also wondering if it will be open by that time. Do you advise I start a new application process for renewal or just wait? I still want to travel this year. Also how many months before a visa expires can one apply for renewal?

Wait till August to see if airport will be opened for international travels. In case airport is not opened then start a new application immediately.
You can renew anytime, it all depends on when you are planning to travel. For example - if you have a visa that will expire 5ft of october 2020
and you are planning to travel in october 15 then you can start your renewal now

I had my capturing march 11th and i am still yet to get my passport back I have been trying to cancel the application since I no longer need to go to the UK for the interview I requested it for, but I could not cancel due to payment error..anyone knows how I can get my passport back soon.

The delay is because of the pandemic. You will hear from them when decision is made. Don't cancel it because I don't think you will be refunded after biometrics.

The Nigerian Email Scammer Who Stole Millions From Premier League Club, NY Law Firm, Banks

Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, who went by the name Ray Hushpuppi, made no secret of his extraordinary wealth.

On an Instagram account with 2.3 million followers, he posted photos of himself dripping in high-end watches, wearing robes with his name emblazoned on the back, and driving a $300,000 Mercedes or a white Rolls Royce Cullinan with the hashtag #AllMine.

He took private jets to Paris, shopped at Gucci and Louis Vuitton, and indulged in cakes depicting himself surrounded by Fendi bags. His address was 1706 Palazzo Versace in Dubai.

On Snapchat, under the username “hushpuppi5,” he called himself “The Billionaire Gucci Master!!!”


Abbas claimed to be a real estate developer. But his wealth was instead the result of running elaborate email scams and hacking schemes, U.S. federal prosecutors argue—a rare example of a Nigerian email scam that actually fooled major companies into handing over millions.


“The FBI’s investigation has revealed that Abbas finances this opulent lifestyle through crime,” FBI Special Agent Andrew Innocenti wrote in a lengthy arrest affidavit, filed in the District Court for the Central District of California on Thursday.

Abbas, 37, was arrested when he arrived in Chicago from Dubai on Thursday night. He faces criminal charges for being the leader of a transnational network that allegedly conspired to launder hundreds of millions of dollars through email scams and other schemes, some of which targeted a New York law firm, a foreign bank and an English Premier League soccer club.

Abbas and a small group of co-conspirators allegedly had a network of “money mules” that they used to carry out the email scams and then launder money through a slew of foreign bank accounts. The group would usually hack into a business’ email account and either block or redirect emails, according to the FBI. They would then use the hacked email account to trick a victim or a company into sending money to them, often changing bank transfer information by just one or two numbers.

However, when one member was arrested in October, 2019, shortly after a New York law firm was duped into wiring almost $1 million, investigators obtained a search warrant to go through his iPhone and found messages that blew open the inner workings of the group.

Abbas had allegedly tricked one of the law firm’s paralegals into wiring $922,857, intended for a client’s real estate refinancing, to a Chase Bank account controlled by Abbas. The paralegal emailed a Citizens Bank email address to verify instructions for the wire transfer but it was a spoof email address set up by Abbas.

About half the amount was instantly wired to a Canadian bank account and images of the wire transfer were shared between the group.

“Did the big hit?” one group member texted, according to excerpts in the affidavit. “Yessir,” another replied.

In another instance, a foreign bank was defrauded $14.7 million in Feb. 2019 when the group gained access to the bank’s computer network and sent fake SWIFT messages—utilizing software used by financial institutions to sends payment orders to each other.

One co-conspirator texted Abbas to ask if he had any bank accounts that could take large amounts of the stolen money. Abbas responded with the details for Romanian, Bulgarian and U.S. bank accounts.

In one text message, the co-conspirator wrote: “my guy also deleted history logs at the bank so they won’t even c the transaction.”

But the following day, the cyber-heist hit the news and the transfers didn’t reach Abbas’ Romanian account.

“Today they noticed and pressed a recall on it , it might show and block or never show,” the co-conspirator texted Abbas. “Look it hit the news.”

Abbas replied: “damn.”

The pair appeared undeterred. “Next one is in few weeks will let U know when it’s ready. to bad they caught on or it would been a nice payout,” he wrote to Abbas.

In March, the group discussed how they could launder £100 million (about $124 million) from an unnamed English Premier League Club but it’s not clear what happened to the money.

At one point, the group were making $1 million to $5 million through a scam once or twice a week.

“This was a challenging case, one that spanned international boundaries, traditional financial systems and the digital sphere,” said Jesse Baker, a Secret Service agent in the Los Angles Field Office.

Abbas was expelled from the United Arab Emirates, for reasons that were unclear, and is expected to be transferred from Chicago to Los Angeles in the coming weeks. He did not yet have a lawyer appointed.

If only the President had treated himself in Nigeria when he was ill, so many people would have insisted that Metuh, Zakzaky and the rest be treated in Nigeria too.

Please guys, this is urgent. I intend to apply to NTNU masters in Chemical Engineering. I have a degree in chemical engineering with second class upper (2.1). Now the problem is NTNU requires a degree in Engineering and minimum of 30 ECTS in Mathematics and Statistic the issue of 30 ECTS is what I don't understand, haven't heard of anything like ECTS in our undergraduate courses, someone should help me clarify this...

Add up the credit hours you have in mathematics, calculus and statistics. You must have at least 30 credit hours before you can apply for that program

*Instagram Rich List 2019�: Kylie Jenner, Ariana Grande and Selena Gomez� Earn Big Money for Sponsored Posts*

The 2019 Instagram Rich List has just been revealed and Kylie Jenner has broken her own record with a staggeringly high estimated fee for every sponsored post.

After dominating the list last year, Jenner has retained her crown and increased her own Instagram post value.

The list, compiled by Instagram scheduling tool HopperHQ, reveals that a single sponsored post on Jenner’s Instagram is estimated to cost $1.266 million - up from her estimated cost last year of $1 million, a surge of 27%.

lagosboy86:
I reside in the US. Do you think I can get the NIN at the nigerian embassy/consulate? I’ve tried calling the embassy several times, but haven't been able to reach them. I don’t have a BVN but i do have US ids, US license and utility bills. Can I go ahead with the passport renewal on the same day, if i get the NIN done at the embassy?
Thanks

I believe this will help you

Hi guys,

I just got a mail from the UK now that my application has been concluded and would be despatch soon. Surprisingly, they never called the person who sent me the invitation or my organization to confirm if documents emanated from him. This is very odd. Does this imply a denial ?

Nothing odd in your situation. They will not call un-less they have cause to do so.

I will apply for an expedite appointment for the US interview. And I will also request for a letter from the international office of my school saying that I can enter the States after enrollment in my department. It is not my fault. I have not seen where schools will request for proof of income of sponsor on remaining deficits. If not for my advisor, I would have bounced the school. I expressly told him yesterday that I am considering my other options, and he immediately told me by Monday, he will see what he will do more on the matter. He even told me to schedule a visa appointment ASAP . I said that's not possible without my i20 lol.

Is there anything like expedite appointment for US Visa interview?

A Nigerian Immigrant in Germany was seen destroying the wheel screen of many cars.

According to the video he can be seen jumping from one car to another while breaking them.

What could have laid him do this, is really inhuman act.

Are you alluding that the deceased was killed by a local gang? Cypriots are peaceful and hospitable. Nigerian Yahoo boys and girls hiding under the guise of schooling in Cyprus are wrecking havoc by engaging in nonsensical behaviours. Cyprus is a beautiful and peaceful country. A few bad Nigerians are the nuisance in Cyprus and in every country you find them. There are Ghanians, Ivorians, ....all attending universities there, how often do you hear negative reports about them? My close friend and his fiancee are currently pursuing their master's degree in Cyprus. If Cyprus is a "no no" it is because of Nigerians. That's the truth. RIP to the dead.

True talk

Nukilia:
Nigerians have been advised to stop traveling to Cyprus most especially for schooling! That was how one guy was busy advertising Philippines to Nigerians. Can't we just get our acts together and stop going to countries where our citizens get killed. This is not the first time criminal gangs do this and you hardly can trace the bad guys. Cyprus is a no no

Students get killed in Nigeria more than outside Nigeria

bro4u:
Obviously you're ignorant of the system, you spent the night at a British embassy probably it got dark while you were being attended to, but in this case she went to the embassy without any prior appointment in that regards, so should the embassy be blamed??

Blame the man. He got there after close of business, he needs to have arranged accommodation for his family. He is an animal to have allowed his family went through this hardship

Zenithsblog:
A Nigerian woman and her kids were forced to sleep outside the Nigerian embassy in Berlin, after a long journey from Munich to renew their passports.

In the viral video shared, a man was heard saying in the background that the Nigerian ambassador left the stranded woman and her kids outside after they arrived at night.

One of the kids who was quite uncomfortable with the sleep-spot, was also spotted crying.

The authorities at the Nigerian embassy in Germany, are however yet to react to the video which has gone viral on social media.

Watch the video:
https://zenithnaija.com/stranded-nigerian-mom-and-her-kids-asked-to-sleep-outside-the-nigerian-embassy-in-germany-video/

The man must be blamed for this incident. He arrived at the embassy after they have closed for the day. He should have booked hotel for or alternative accommodation for his family. Don't blame embassy or the officers. Attention seekers

No free health care in US. You choose what you want from whatever your employer provides for you. You pay your share through deduction from your pay check. Your employer pay the rest

The decision mail finally arrived yesterday after 70 days, unfortunately the visa was refused. The reason given for refusal was inadequate fund despite having N1.37m in salary account and 3m in fixed deposits with intention to spend £1800 on the trip

They claimed evidence of fixed deposit was not included which was not true. Copy of certificate of investment from a reputable bank was part of the documents scanned by TLS.

May be the application could have been better packaged if I had known this forum before submission

We intend applying again by November or December I hope it won't be too early.

I don't think evidence of the fixed deposit or not will change the outcome. Your Fixed deposit is part of your financial asset. They don't see it as available to you now, it is not a liquid assets like cash in hand and cash you have in your bank.
You only have N1.3 million available but planning to spend over 800k. To me I don't think you package it well. This is just my opinion. Spending over half of your available cash on a vacation trip....... No one will believe this
