Yeecar: Good day Bro. I am a federal Civill servant .I recently got a scholarship to come to the US for a 1 month training . 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 . 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 am just leaving the embassy shocked and disapointed. Thanks in anticipation of Your quick response as am thinking of reapplying next week.

kclexa: If you are specifically going for your graduation, then staying with you brother or sister is not a problem. All you need to do is present evidence of accommodation payment receipt and a letter from your brother/sister that he/she will be accommodating you for the period.

Do not panic, it would have been a different ball game if you were going for a friend's graduation. But you must ensure the uni does not have restrictions on squatting, in which case I would advice you show funds that can cover hotel bills and specify you will be staying in an hotel.
Remember you are not required to pay for accommodation until you are granted visa, same as flight but show evidence of enough funds.

DICKtator: cHarity you know ,..............starts at home.........


it begins with you!!!


infact, it's in you!!!!

well, only if you happen to be the guy with the bloodied face that lennox has "bastardised!!!"

brownee06: Hi guys,

I will be going for my graduation, so I will just b staying in the Uk for one week. I have put my brothers accomodation which is a school accomodation and it is just a room. From the address it is obvious that it is a one room school accomodation. Will they see this as a problem

brownee06: Really?? Not even ur own brother. Same surname oh. Abi do I have to provide my birth certificate to prove it kwanu. My problem is the idea of two Pple in one room, Weda males or females

Gregport: Please guys, can you be honest and advice a brother? I got an admission recently to study in lithuania, but am confused about the visa process and means of survival for students as of 2013?

Kemond11: I was at the US embassy today with my husband and my and son ,after the interview the VO returned our Int'l passport to us but told us they will contact us in the next one week,pls I want to ask if there is still hope of getting the visa

drillskillz: My wife has been given a 5 year visa already but am yet to put forward my application.
Does it make sense to state 'unemployed'?
will that not reduce my chances?

bettor111: Hello I Just need info If people still cross From libya To Spain

drillskillz: Hello Vicjustice
My wife will be travelling to the UK for her PhD in some days.......She is currently on PTDF scholarship that will take up to 4 years ......so am planning to apply for a tier 4 dependant visa soon.....We have been asked to keep some amount of money in her foreign account for a period of 28days ........Presently am not working as i resigned from bank some months ago....PTDF is willing to give me a covering letter introducing me as the husband of the said scholar and also offered to be responsible for my plane ticket....Its also pertinent to state that before now PTDF covers the living expenses of both the husband and the wife but for cost-cutting reasons they have decided to remove the clause for PhD scholars.
Please what are my chances ??
what approach do you think i should make to avoid being denied ?
Thanks

brownee06: Hi guys, need some advice.
I finished my masters in Feb, got back in June about 2 days b4 my visa expired cuz the hospital I wz working for needed cover and jst wouldn't let me go.
Now I want to apply for a general visa to go for my graduation which comes up in november. My questions are:

1. I jst started working here in naija last month would dat be a problem cuz dey have asked for an extensive history of employment
2. The fact that I left jst 2 days b4 my visa expired, would dat affect my application?
3. They have asked for National insurance number, what do they need that for cuz I remembered working a little above 20hrs in some weeks while studying. Can dey decode dat with my NI number?

I just think it's beta not to apply at all than to apply and be refused a visa that is why I want to be sure before applying because I'm expecting a COS soon from my previous employer so I don't want any bad records.

naijaspeak: Saudi Arabia is one of the strict Islamic country in the Middle east as the government exercise a tight immigration control on foreign wishing to enter the country. Despite all this there are still a large number of foreigners including Nigerians living and working there. Due to. Its vast wealth from oil and gas saudi arabia attracts foreign professioners who are seeking for were to earn decent money. But beyond all this oil riches Saudi Kingdom is a prison yard as your fundamental rights is trampled upon. You will have the big money if you are lucky to get a good job but you will not have the freedom to enjoy your money as the kingdom maintains supreme control over the way they would want to live. Western style way of life is restricted to the barest minimun. You still need and exit visa to leave the country just like that of qatar if you went to saudi on a work visa. If you are a christian there are no church to worship as the strict islamic policy which is maintained by the country forbids that. Nevertheless, saudi is a good place to work and earn big especially for doctor, nurses, pharmacies. To work in saudi Arabian you have to secure a job first , your employer will then send you the documents you need for your immigration formalities. I would suggest you search websites like www.bayt.com www.gulftalent.com www.naukrigulf.com for employment information. You should study arabic language as knowledge of this language will assist you in your job search. Another good option is to find a job in Dubai (( UAE ) or Qatar and use it as a starting point to launch your job dreams in the nearby Saudi arabia. I have one little secrets the Saudi, Qataris and Emiratis (Dubai national ) discriminate when it comes to preferences as they would rather want an American, British, canadian or Australian doctor, nurses etc although some africans, asians mostly indians,pakistanis,and philippinos have been contracted at diiferent point in time of which they have secured employment and residency. I would advise you use google to search for hospitals and then find out if there are job openings.

FrontPageLawyer: Good afternoon sirs. Will be applying this week for UK visa.

I have a bar/shawarma outlet that has been running for 6months, but it was incorporated September 2013 under business name not limited liability as I already have a limited liability which i use to run my contracts but not often.

The bar now has an account which runs daily but no tax clearance as i understand i am only to pay vat at every month and not company tax since it's a business name; as explained by FRIS, but for the other company i have the tax clearance certificate and also have my personal income tax card issued by Lagos state government.

The application will be supported with my current/dom account which have been running for 3years with a good closing balance and the following documents, marriage cert., wedding pictures, birth certificates, business receipts, house rent receipts and agreement,

Question:

(a)Will i be qualified for a visa knowing fully well that my company A has no good closing balance, company B runs daily with four staffs but newly incorporated.

(b)Which Identity card will I use to support my application if I will be submitting both company's documents.
Thank you sirs.
