jascopassion: Tnx a lot,like ow much will I need bf I could tink of getin Visa? Can a 1st timer be issue up to 6mnts visiting Visa?

It's not quite about how much you need, it's about meeting the financial requirements as I explained in the opening post.
And yes, a first timer can get a six months visa

IrishBebey: He's a disgrace and the shame is on Nigeria that approves such barbaric practice

He should have been arrested for pedophiliac conducts

Tegese: In that case, see you in there, I'm a genuine person

Tegese: But it takes will-power to be able to do that, a lot if people are addicted to food, you know

Are yu talking about yourself?

IrishBebey: Unfortunately, women ha e the reputation of gossiping, but arguably, Men can gossip just as much

May be right, men can actually gossip as well

sundyke107: I have only travelled to Dubai in 2011. Please do you think I have a chance considering my account history as stated earlier? 

how much do you think would be your closing bank account balance as at the time you intend applying?

do you have previous travel history?

i think you are better off applying for the france visa first before applying for that of UK

You're right, France' visa is arguably more difficult to get being that it's not a popular destination by Nigerians therefore, France embassy understands that you must have a very serious reason to want to travel to France

sundyke107: Please I forget to add that as per lending cash out to people, I dont have documents (receipts) to back it up. I only collect postdated cheques(collateral) from my clients which i hand over to them upon liquidation appropriate liquidation of the loan. Note the loan is usually for period of 1-2months.

If only you knew that this type of loan or "contribution" is criminal in Europe, you wouldn't have even been thinking of making mention of it

psquaret: op pls I want to know if the embassy will verify the introduction letter from the place of work. I m a police officer and I don't want my office to know about my travel because I only on annual leave of 21 working days. and I want to travel to Grenada for two weeks, will the embassy contact my office?

This would be considered as fraud or deception, and if it's the US, you'd be on the verge of getting yourself a life ban

jascopassion: Hello moderator, please u will needs to bear with me. Despite the fact that am a graduate and have being following and reading this thread for long. There are still some things which I don't understand.
Jst finished my service year with less than 200K in my account. Can I stl go ahead and apply for UK visa?
Do I necessarily needs a letter of invitation, or how do I book for hotel ?
What other advice can u give me pls. I needd to get the visa soon. Lastly, do I pay for getting VISA ?
Thanks a lot. Jst that am a village boy jst coming to city

What category of visa will you be applying for? Well, whatever category it may be N200k is taking you no where, you will even loss a vast amount of the money in the process.
You would need either or both the invitation letter or/and hotel accommodation.
My advice is, do not try it at this stage

kclexa: @Vicjustice; I don't think you got my advice right.
My advice was from experience because I attended a UK university and know what is required. Please read my post properly before concluding.

You are always adviced not to make any hotel of flight bookings before receiving your visa except instructed by the visa officer to do so. But you must show sufficient funds to cover all these necessities. The graduation letter from the university already shows he/she is not just visiting on holiday. Where you stay after arriving in the UK is totally left to you as long as you had satisfied the VO that you won't be a liability.

By the way staying with a female friend or sister is not a taboo, just that privacy is highly respected.

I'm sorry if i misunderstood you.
And you're right, it's not a taboo to squat with one's sister/brother in one room, but to apply for a visa with such accommodation arrangement will result in refusal

[quote author=kim k's girl]In my own opinion I think @funkybaby just said her mind and said the truth because B4 making any comments I read the thread to an extent at least and she said what exactly was on my mind... I love your comments @funkybaby! no hating on nairaland.[/quote]I'll not accord you the least blame because you're not aware of past troubling events: those who are old members in this section are aware of what I'm talking about. and they know that it is one thing to make observation from a sincere heart, and another thing to make indirect remarks against me out of old resentment, an age long grievance strong enough to trigger indirect comeback attack.

funkybaby:

I am having my teeth extracted this afternoon , so I thought I freestyle on different threads and ease my nervousness only to stumble on some questions left unanswered because they were asked by 'a friend' for 'a friend'. to make it worse, a particular person here made it the norm to admonish, scold and ignore posters asking these 'friend's friends' questions. i wonder why you let him get away with it and not speak to him about it.

we must be able to help one another. . . . whether or not the question/issue is about a friend, brother, aunty, shagpartner or whoever.

that said, how borri? did you miss me nice to see you too

Justwise/Disguy
You are aware that this comment is referring to me, and it isn't funny.
there has been peace in Nairaland, and a lasting one it has been, therefore, advice any returnee to keep it so. Thanks.

justwise: hmmm shey you don come with your wahala? actually...i don't like it when people do this...i'm asking for my friend and further down the line the 'friend' turns out to be the poster and the poster seems to know far too much about that 'friend'.

Why people do that is something i can't get my head around.

I'm glad that you feel me: indeed, there have been numerous instances when I felt conned by such people.
You see, this is a forum where people are free to be anonymous, so I don't see any meaningful reason for pretending to be someone else: it is regrettable enough that no one here uses his or her true names, and despite this, some people would still narrate their own stories in proxy.
Why would anybody seek genuine answer to a question that is asked in deception? To me, the thought of corresponding with an ingenuine someone is something absurd

radical05: Hello Vicjustice, this aint deception and the reason why i know so much is because the person in question is my fiance but he doesnt come on nairaland but i happen to be a member hence asking the question on his behalf...please i'm really asking on someone's behalf. I have no reason to lie. Thanks as i await your response.

I appreciate your clarification, I'll look properly to it and would respond later

psquaret: I am a police officer and I am currently still active in the service. I have a friend in Grenada who want me to come spend a holiday in her country and she sent me an invitation sign by the immigration and the immigration also sent me a letter that is fine by them that I should come to their country but the problem now is that I.will need a UK airside transit visa pls what re my chances of getting the UK transit visa. Grenada is a visa free for Nigerian nationals pls good people of nigeria help me out with good information thank you

Well, applying for a UK transit visa using a visa-free country as final destination is an extremely difficult thing to do, it is even more difficult than applying for a regular UK visa.

[quote author=Andyblaze]Can Kissing And Romancing Before Marriage Be Termed As 'fornication' ?[/quote[size=25pt]What a shame to not know the meaning of "romance" before asking the question, what an embarrassment to have such horrible English in front page, and what a pity that people are responding to this without knowing what ROMANCE mean. Sad [/size]

radical05: Hello Vicjustice, I have a huge headache regards this issue and I would be glad if you can help out.
Please if a friend earns 250,000 monthly but they don't pay into an account but for the sake of Canada visa application has informed the company to be depositing into his savings account which would be back up with pay slips for the 6 months.
THE PROBLEMS.....earning 250,000 monthly is 1.5m account balance for 6 months(oct 2013-march 2014) and with an opening account balance of 540,000 in sept 2013 would make it roughly 2m at the end of march 2014. (Now the tuition, living expenses etc amounts to 20,000CAD lets say roughly 3.2m but he wants to have about 4m or more as extra) and he intends to apply against sept 2014. He is expecting a sum of 1.4m by Dec 2013 from his car sales(pls note that the car was bought in his name by his sister's husband that lives in US that has a car lot in Nigeria though he(the friend in question) owns the money that was used to get the car) so when the car is being sold he would have 1.4m and plus extra tips from friends and families making it about 2m or more which would add up to 4m or more. Now my questions are

1) How would you advice him to spread the remaining 2m(the one gotten from the car sale plus tips from friends and families) which is different from his regular monthly income? this has been the main concern as I have read on this thread that the bank statement must show the source of income and expenditures that are verifiable. The bank statement would be able to show the monthly income of 250,000 for 6 months but adding that up wont be solely sufficient as an adequate fund so please how would you advice him to spread the remaining money that he has because he wants to avoid depositing a lump sum of money considered as money lodgement?

2) he was thinking of attaching the docs that showed the car he sold to get the 1.4m was bought in his name but unfortunately he doesn't have an evidence that the money was transferred from his account to his sister's husband in US because it was a sum of money that someone owe him(the person that owe him is in US and he was the one that transferred the money) and he decided to use that money to now invest and get a car to sell so that is why he is considering spreading the money since he cant justify how he transfer the fund to get a car to sell
2) he would have used a sponsor but he was denied the last time he applied because of sponsor not credible and he is an adult so he decided to sponsor himself this time around. The money is however available but the confusion is how to reflect the source of the remaining funds in the account which is apart from the monthly income.
Vicjustice and all other oga's on top please kindly give a sincere response/advice.

So, you're doing all these salary calculations and long analysis with passion for a "friend"?
With due respect, you seem to know so much about "a friend" than I even know my own self.
Look, it is not a problem to answer a "friend" question, but it just doesn't go well with me to think that someone is trying to get information from me by means of unecessary deception

target007: Yes, you can ask for your passport but you will loose your application fee (nonrefundable) because as per UKBA policy once you've asked for your passport to be returned before any visa decision they will cancel your application process and there is no refund. So i will advice, unless whatever you need your passport for outweighs the opportunity cost, in this case, your visa application fee, you may as well just wait for a UKBA decision on your visa application.

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.
There are actually some instances in which an application may be cancelled due to passport withdrawal: it all depends on circumstances and the sensibility of the application

Pitykitten: Good day,
Please I need information on third party collections.

Can I collect a friend collect his passport if I have a valid means of identification and his collection slip?

You can collect it if they don't know that you're not the real owner, otherwise, it will be impossible to collect it

[quote author=kim k's girl]I was refused a visa, and i'm really upset, I would like to do a review with my lawyer and seriously i'm laughing at myself because I have seen similar cases to mine, i.e I mean using a business account statement because I don't have a savings account, my friend did the same thing she was initially refused and she did a review and got the visa, so I just want to do a review and submit by latest Tuesday, although I have an immigration Lawyer in-charge already but I still need some advice at least.[/quote]What advice would be valid to you since you have definitely made up your mind on what to do?

cachal: Hello Good people of the house, please I have few questions to ask.

1, must one be married to get a visa?

2, once denied a visa because you are not married, can a spouse/date send you an invite?

3, if you luckily found a very rich/wealthy woman abroad (online things) can she cover your trip? And what are the chances.

Please a friend seriously need answers to this question.

I would have answered the questions had it not been that they are for your "friend"

Yeecar: I am a federal Civill servant, I work with the federal institute of industrial research oshodi. I recently got a scholarship to come to the US for a 1 month training which will be coming up by January 2014 . I applied for a B1 visa. An invitation letter was sent to me through d email which I presented to d Consular officer. But suprisingly I was denied a visa under section 214 (B) I told her dat a leter of introduction was also given to me by my employer but she didn't
ask.Please what can be the reason for my visa denial? I was properly dressed and I was even puting on my ofice I'd card. I left the embassy shocked and disapointed. Thanks in anticipation of Your quick response as am thinking of reapplying next week.

The reason(s) for the refusal must have been explained to you even though you did not state it here. However, I suspect it has something to do with your personal circumstances.
I also think that you tried too hard to give impression to the embassy in that you were dressed wearing your work card around your neck: that alone might have been seen as an attempt to convince the visa officer of your credibility, but it might have created a negative impression

gowaga68: @Vicjustice what can you say of Czech republic?

Personally, i wouldn't like to live there, i wouldn't like to live in a country where wages are low, and yet it is extremely difficult for a black man to find even a menial job

honourableseyi: Then what about Germany and Norway? which one is better? which one has a good prospect that is favourable for international student?@vic. Thanks sir

I can't really say which one is better or worse, it just depends on individual preferences

aggymore: Good day, I need your advice. I am looking for someone I can talk to on what to do. I applied for US visa 5years ago and was refused. Now I need to apply again and was told I should talk to people on how to go about it. I need you to help me and tell me how to go. I will be heart broken if I am refused again. Pls help.

Waiting to hear from you.

How did you go about the one that was unsuccessful?
You asked how to go about it? Simply go to the US consular website and apply for it
