Hello house,

I went for my biometrics yesterday 23/10/2024 at tls Ikeja and I chose assisted service.
The officer in charge of uploading my documents did not upload my certificate, transcript and TB test certificate.
Is this going to be an issue please

How did they forget to upload it?

KingDeity:
If you can take out your time to read thru previous threads, you would notice that someone did stuff like this and the case officer mistook the account balance in USD to be NGN and the fellow was denied visa on the grounds of insufficient funds, although he applied for admin review and i think he later got the visa. In my own opinion, I would suggest you use only NGN account, but if you insist on merging account, kindly attach an SOP to this effect, wishing you good luck. Cheers fam

This is terrible. Na wa o

VeeInsider:
Good evening everyone. I have both naira and dollar accounts and I have money in both accounts.

Should I print statement from both accounts (naira and dollar) and submit as my proof of funds OR should I convert the dollars to naira and submit only the Naira account as my proof of fund?

Naira Account is Globus Bank
Dollar Account is GTBANK

Replies needed. Thank you

I need recommendations on where I can buy a brand new Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra in Lagos.

There are too many refurbished phones being packaged as new phones.

Anyone?

dawnomike:
Yes, I am in Lagos.

Alright

dawnomike:
Planning to buy one as well and I'm having the same issue.

Are you in Lagos?

PriNceNova:
You lie...

Recommend location. Thanks

I just had a funny and wonderful experience with Stanbic MMF.

I placed a redemption request on 2nd October @ 1pm. I assumed the account I set up for redemption is GTB and I've been expecting the alert since 3rd October on my GTB account, because I placed the withdrawal late and I don't expect them to handle the request on the same day.

Today being 7th I was already calling their Customer Service while going through my email to confirm again before they answer the call because this was strange. They always handle requests as early as possible.

I kept scrolling until I saw an alert from Stanbic on that same 2nd of October by 4pm. The transfer was done to my Stanbic savings account.

I was surprised because this didn't take them up to 24 hours to send the funds to me. It took them only 3 hours.

I had to quickly end the call before they answer. Lol

Thank God for Stanbic MMF. Good job to Stanbic MMF team.

Visa Alert!!!
Application - 30th July
Biometrics - 31st July
Transferred to DMC - 31st July
Transferred to VAC – 2nd August
Email for collection – 2nd August (Didn’t go and pick up because of protest)
BRP Mail – 4th August but letter was dated 1st August
Ikeja Standard

*A number of factors could be responsible, but don’t know if my application was this fast because of generally low applications or low applications due to impending protest the next day (cos it was literally empty the day I went for bio, although on pickup day there was a little crowd but not so much in my opinion).

Documents Submitted
CAS
Employment letters
Certificate from School
TB certificate
NYSC
WAEC
Printed bank statement from bank (signed and stamped)
Letter explaining what I had been doing since graduation.
Reference letters from a employer whom I didn’t have an employment letter for and a current client as I am a freelancer currently.

Even though I had an agent who guided me, this forum was very helpful to me, so I felt the need to open an account on Nairaland just to thank everyone who has contributed and helped newbies like me through the process. Wish everyone else applying speedy success like I experienced!

I'm also a freelancer and wondering how I'll prove I've been working since I graduated.

I have mailed severally and received replies.

Just Google their email address and send a mail to their customer service. In the mail make sure your MMF Account number. Then attached the proof of payment.

Monday to now is long na. It shouldn't take more than 2 days. Something is wrong so you should contact them.

I've emailed ARM, Stanbic, and numerous other institutions and received replies.

FBN Quest, however, has never responded to my email.

I initially had little interest in committing much to ARM, but their exceptional customer service completely changed my mind, similar to Stanbic's.

I admire First Bank and seriously considered them alongside Stanbic when I was exploring MMF options. Unfortunately, my experience with FBN Quest’s customer service was disappointing.

RoyalP101:
I transferred money to my FBN MMF on Monday morning, up until now it has not been reflected in my Account. I have mailed them severally since Monday, yet it has not been resolved. Just tired and I don't know what to do again. I need advice, please.

FBN Quest has no customer service. I've never gotten a reply from them.

This should be in English or a certified translation and for exampl,e be in the form of Payslips/employment letters with contact details on them / bank statements with regular salary being deposited / employment contracts / further education certificates and should not just be a CV.

So I submitted
-NYSC certificate and bank statements showing regular income from Nysc
-Employment letter from a previous place of employment and Reference salaries were paid in hand at this job
- I was in civil service from 2014 to 2022 gave a bank statement showing salaries from 2019 to 2022 i don't have any payslips
-Travel history was mentioned in the application so I gave a letter of explanation covering my trips and reasons for travel

Good day all

I have protection and investment for you all from heirs global insurance company.

HEIRS TRIPLE PAY IS THE NAME


You get 7.25 interest rate every month and 0.25% at the end of the year.

This is like normal Ajo or osusu with stipulated time let say target savings

Below are the pictures

6 years is even the lowest. Lol

Blumefy:
Germany have a lot of free Masters courses and relatively cheap courses, however it comes with blocked account at the embassy for non EU/EEA
Finland does not have blocked account and their tution ranges around 4000 eur above
Malta is an English speaking country so you do not have to worry about learning a language, and the tuition is around 6000 eur above

Depending on the European country you want to migrate to, try to learn their language, network, and volunteer so your job search will be successful, and be patient. It will work out.

Thanks for your reply. I'll check out these countries.

Looking for information on countries where graduates have the best opportunities to study and work, with a smooth transition to remain in the country or even migrate to US, UK or Canada.

Hello, everyone. When does application for January 2025 begin?

You might need this for the calculation. The total tuition is £16,700 & I'm depositing £6000 now to balance up the remaining later. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks

I'm also looking at January 2025. How do I connect with you?

Bokajimike:
Thanks for the information. However, due to the criticism I've heard about the UK, I've decided to remove it from my list of options

Please share your reason for removing UK from your list of options. Thank you

lastkingsman:
Anyways, he has removed UK as from his list. I really understand his concerns so no further comment

Is there anything wrong with UK for studies?
