I finally got my visa today.
I was very nervous at first as per a first time traveller with a virgin passport.
coupled with the fact that I'm a teacher with a take home salary of 42K . but my fiance is my sponsor. the only thing is that my fiance has been to different countries but has not been to UK nor US.
Actually I applied on the 27th July ( Monday) and by Wednesday 29 th July they called my fiance to know if it was true he was my sponsor and by Thursday 6th august I tracked my app on TLs and saw that a decision has been made so I decided to check today. and it was ready. visa was issued on the 5th august.
thanks to everyone ..... now I think Ikeja is quite fast.
I really thank God Almighty and everyone that has contributed directly or indirectly. God bless us all.1 love... Justwise vicjustice.....more grease to your elbow...

my thought....... I think its better if one tells the total truth.....
London eye, Trafalgar square, tower bridge !!! here I come.

Hello people, well done to everyone that has been contributing to this thread to make it a success, please justwise and the rest dunno if this has been treated before if so maybe a page reference will do, am a medical student here in Nigeria 2nd yr and I have a friend in Scotland (she is Scottish and married with children) she wants to invite me over but both of us really don't know the process or processes involved, please any useful information would be appreciated. Thank you.

justicia:
Hello All. Am new here. Pls I want to process Uk Visiting Visa for my wife and kid, pls how do I go about it, whr do I start, what forms do I fill, how do I submit and how long does it take. what's the procedure. Thanks!

Thank you @Vicjustice as always for your practical advice. In lieu of our UK reapplication, do I still need to submit my savings account statement (with the unexplained deposit?)? Or will my salary/current account do? Also, my friend only has 750k (in naira) in her current account for our planned 7-day trip. Is this enough?

magzchavez:
Good day @justwise, @Vicjustice and to the rest of the helpful folks in this forum. I would highly appreciate it if you could enlighten me on my current dilemma. I have been denied a UK tourist visa twice here in Muscat Oman. My first denial was due to insufficient funds as I only submitted my salary account then with 0 balance (I was transferring my salary to my personal account) thinking that they only wanted to see proof of my salary coming in, while my recent denial was due to an unexplained deposit in my savings account (unexplained cash transfers from my salary account). To rectify this, I have built my salary account for the past 6 months with a balance of about 2M (in nairas) and I plan to re-apply for a UK visa this September. However, my colleagues are inviting us to join them in Germany for Oktoberfest as they were recently approved their Schengen visas.

My main question is, will my previous denials for UK visa affect my Schengen application? The German embassy here in Muscat does not hold interviews and approval will only be based on the documents submitted. Shall I volunteer the information of the reason for denials? Or will my application be purely based on its merits? Also, I just renewed my passport and I am unsure if it is best to still submit my old cancelled passport. If I don't submit my old passport, my good travel history would be negated, but then again, the previous denials would not come up (another dilemma ). Or is it best to clear the UK visa first?

Any suggestions or past similar experiences would be very much appreciated. It would really be a shame if my new passport would have another denial stamp when all I really want to do is travel and see the world.

Thank you and more power!

l was actually taking him serious till I saw that I "am not in Nigeria talk"
Like him being out of Naija means he is above learning. .

In the UK a BARBER is someone who cuts men and boys hair.

You would need a qualification (NVQ LEVEL 2 OR 3) to work leagally cutting hair.
Most jobs will be minimum wage.

crazydove:


Nigerian meltality chai!!!na only you go obodoyibo hehehe learn jor.instead of arguing.they are called hairstylists as well.chai!go and study your english dictionary well jor before you confuse yourself with I am not in Nigeria talk.

crazydove:


Hair cut is hair cut and its not a single word.it is written seperately as hair cut.read your dictionary.you can't say 'm going for hair cutting lols.that's why the americans have barber's shop or barber's salon.
And its not only Nigerians that say barber.in britian or america or any english speaking country call it barbing where you find the african man.
There is nothing like hair cutting.
That's why the white man will say"I need a hair cut",I will like to have new hair cut", "I am going to the hair salon for a hair cut"," I will be giving my client a new hair cutting" and the british or american african will " I going to the barber's shop for a new hair cut",barber is in the dictionary so I wonder how it is qualified as a nigerian word.and the dictionary never stated that barber was derived from Nigeria or africa
Oya make sentences with your hair-cutting

crazydove:


LMAO, nairaland you guys re so funny.they are the same thing.and there is nothing like "HAIR CUTTING" its hair cut.hair cut is mostly for white folks.
