Make brother help him fellow brother abeg . My account balance is not stable because I am using my money to do business . How can I explain this to Eco please ?

Sorry but without stable account to prove funds are available
you are wasting money applying for the visa.

Hello everyone

I'd like someone with a good experience to give me a very reasonable answer to this , it's about having stamps on ma intl passport prior to main applications with some embassies, it's regarded that you first visit some countries before applying to them as they would want to check for some form of security. Now amongst this nations I choose to begin with Benin Republic, then maybe Cameroon or Ghana, but I want to be sure of this, are there any amount of money I pay at the borders, for them to have it stamped? Some fella here said most cases they charge, I'm wondering what they'd charge for.
No insults, just making sure I don't get scammed. #1000 Naira is a lot of money these days

UK. and USA. visa officials are not impressed with quick visits to other African countries to disvirgin a passport.
You will be wasting money.

You must show strong proof that you will return home
and show finances sufficient to cover your trip and to return home to.

What you must not do is pay anyone for fake stamps.
That leads to very big problems in the future.

Hello Nairalanders,
I will be reapplying for family USA tourist visa soon, I have applied before in 2013 and was denied then but now my status have changed and will like to know if I can use a confirmed hotel letter from the hotel manager instead of using invitation letter that I used in the first application.
Please kindly help me with good info

Visa officer has stated many many times " they do not look at invitation letter!"

You must show strong ties to prove that you will return home.
Then adequate finances.

Eniakii:
Hello House, can anyone confirm to me that I can spend part of the maintenance fee once the statement is printed before the visa issue. REGARDS

Risky!
The visa officer might check your account balance (they have ways of doing this.)
Wait until your visa is out.

Please thurn your cap lock off!
It is like you are shouting all the time and is bad manners.

aadeyi:
do you know how much good you will be doing yourself and newbies on here if you reveal the name of your sch?

What does that matter?
Should every person here apply to the same school, same subject just because one person gained entry.
That is more likely to poison the school against Nigerians.
I do not blame the poster for keeping personal details confidential with people like you copying everything!

QueenID:
The only info I hid was the name of my school and my professors' too... So??

Quite correct of you.
It is pathetic how some here just want to copy other people.
Learn transcript answers and practice in front of a mirror.
Copy schools and teachers.
All rather than do a little research themself!

MsBeloxxi:
Good day, Please i would love your advise on an issue. My fiancé is based in the Uk and is a citizen while am based in Nigeria. was asked by the registry to provide a sworn affidavit of spinster. now my question is this, am unemployed so what occupation do i include in the affidavit? Note that i was asked to indicate my occupation. In a case i state that am working as say an Admin Officer, am i to include docs to prove that when applying for the spouse visa? Pls i urgently need your advice. thanks.

You must not lie!
If you are unemployed then be honest and say so.
If you lie and they find out you can be handed a long ban with your refusal.

How long does it take one to go through JFK POE....because my flight will get there 5:55pm US time n I ve a bus to catch 7:30pm...Furthermore, the distance between JFK n where i will enter the bus is 38mins (Pike street, New York).

Please, i will like to know the cheapest cab that can transfer me from JFK to Pike street or If there's any Nairalanders willing to help..e jo eMi o sa ooo..
cc: all Nairalanders in Yankee

I would say that is too close for comfort.
Less than an hour to retrieve your luggage and pass immigration and customs.
Then get to bus station.

It might be possible, but have another plan if it fails.
Might be spend the night in bus station so check later bus times.

hardeybaba:
Good day Sir,
I am kinda new here but i have a question which i would be glad if you can enlighten me on.....Ok....I have a US citizen has my fiance and we are planning on getting wedded soon..Though she has not visited Nigeria before, i am going over to join her and live happily thereafter....I was denied a B1/B2 visa few months back where i apply to attend a frends wedding due to non strong ties...But has it is now...what document do i really need as she will be responsible for the funding and i will be staying in her apartment...so, how do i go about it or what document does she needs to send since we are yet to get married

You will not be issued a visa with that story.
You will be rejected under section 214B as an intending migrant.

If this is to succeed she must come to Nigeria to marry you.
Then she returns home and petitions for you.

No short cuts and you will be checked to prevent fraudulent marriage just for visa.

Damsonkc:
Please house I have a very important question. Is it possible to live in Nicosia and School at Famagusta? I am planning on going for my master's at Famagusta but I have family in Nicosia who are willing to take me in. Please is it realistically feasible? Thanks all. Mr Wip, thank you for your assistance during my admission process. I need your help on this too.

If you really have family there why are you asking strangers here for an answer?
Very curious that person does not believe family but will believe strangers on internet!

nk20:
Please I applied for visiting visa with my 2kids (age 3 years, 8months )without my husband. Please what are my chances of getting visa. My immediate families(3 brothers )are in the US and I included it in my DS 160 form. Thanks all as I await your response

It will all depend on your strong proofs that you will return home.
What are your brothers doing in USA? Dot they have green card or something else?

Dynamitehimself:
@olowob
I have a lot of gold jewelleries Plz what is your honest opinion on this.
Cc . claremont, justwise et al

Do you trust Nigerian baggage handlers, customs and officials enough to put this in your luggage?
Will it still be there when you arrive?

Have you checked import regulations for gold to the UK?

OJCITY22:
Boss, just asking don't really know Ooooo. Can't he defer it as soon as he enters the states till january...I never reach there before Oooo

A study visa is ONLY for study.
Not for tricks to get round working.
Even if you were to get a visa this early
Point of entry will see that you are trying to enter too soon and then big wahalla.
You could have the visa cancelled and all money lost.

Hello guys

I gained admission to the university of Indianapolis early this year with a 5000usd scholarship, I gave.my agent the money for visa application and sevis since them, bit till now he has not book an appointment at the U.S consulate, all he use to say is that I should chill my mind, that when it's time for me to go for it, he will let me know, and I learnt the school will be resuming by mid August, pls can I still get the visa ?? Advice me

Why did you use an agent for somethimg that you could do yourself with little effort?

To resume in Mid August is very close now to issue visa.
Get to your agent today and demand visa application or money back!

olatalour:
hello my fellow nairalanders i have an aunt in new jersey who wants me 2 come over to the us but she cant sponsor me in school over there but she said when i come she will give me accomodation and get me a job, i want to go with an f1 visa and i dont intend attending the school immediately please i need your advice brothers God bless

Advice
Going to be an illegal is no way to start life.
What kind of job as an illegal?
I will tell you, it will be slave labour.
Every minute of every day waiting for police or immigration to catch and deport you.

No one here will help you to break the law.

askari01:
She needs the refusal note so as to be sure if she has been banned and if not, then she can reapply, she doesn't want her passport seized by the embassy. But is it possible for the embassy to seize her passport?

Stop making up stories.
The UK embassy will not seize her passport unless it is a fake!
Even if she has a UK ban her PP will be returned.

chiefolotu:
I was refused for;
Reason; Justification of the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not provided.
What do i do if i want to appeal.

You must PROVE that your intentions are honest.
They do not believe that you will leave on time.

Have you even noticed that Europe is swamped with migrants at the moment?

Nazysandy:
Good evening house.

I am new here. My interview date is early August. Going for a wedding and then use the opportunity to see hubby. He is based in the US. Already, I have applied for an immigrant visa, but just going to visit and come back while waiting for the immigrant visa.
Btw, hubby is one of the groomsmen and the person wedding is our mutual friend. The wedding iv already stated that accommodation is taken care of excluding the flight. Hubby is paying for my flight ticket.

Please I am open to any advice, contributions or whatsoever. Thank you and keep on doing the good work.

Ties to PROVE that you will return home.

Ties to PROVE that you will return home.

Nothing else matters!
Unless you get this sorted you will be refused for 214b.

chiefolotu:
It should....meaning they are giving you a chance to correct what ever they refused you for.

WRONG!

You appeal with the same information to correct a mistake they made.
If you want to alter your information you apply and pay again!

sicobamty2:
I was online for a registration but i could not progress to the final stage simply because l was requested to upload one of my ID card. So i find it difficult to understand d meaning of d ID card they were requesting for, I was asked to choose between ID card averse or ID card reverse.
My fellow nairalander please what is the different between the two ID cards?

Some person trying to be too clever.
In plain English it means front and back.

Try turning cap locks off so that you are not shouting!

askari01:
Thanks so much worry, the DOB on the Old passport is different from that of th E-Passport, I advised her to come out clean and she should do an affidavit concerning the DOB, what's ur opinion?

She must be honest and admit everything in the past.
An affidavit for her CORRECT age will help.

askari01:
Good evening everyone, justwise, iblaw, worry,tunde etc, I need ur urgent contribution on the issue below-.

A friend of mine applied for UK visa in 2006 in which an agent advised her to do invitation letter but she was refused and didn't win appeal, She later applied for another UK visa in 2010 through an agent who collected money from her . During the application the agent advised my friend not to disclose in the new application that she has applied for Visa in 2006, As a novice, she agreed and she clicked No, that she has never applied for a UK visa Becos the Agent said, she applied with the Old passport, that the Embassy won dectect the initial application, since she didn't do biometrics and that the DOB on the old passport is different from the one on the E-passport.

She submitted and the application came out unsuccessful and the Embassy stated that she claimed she has never applied for UK visa but during their search, they found a resemblance in an application that was made in 2006 which bears same name but different DOB. In conclusion, The ECO stated that if they have any reason to doubt her application next time it may attract 10yrs ban . she has travelled to US, Canada N some part of Europe. Now she wants to apply for UK visa and she couldn't find the refusal note again. Kindly give ur candid advise on what to do to secure her UK visa, thanks

Honesty is her only possibility of salvation now.

She should re-apply
With all honest documents.
No mistakes with DOB or name or details!
Add a one page letter admitting the previous problems caused by agents.

She may be rejected but may escape a ten year ban.

Every couple of weeks some little boy posts this list and thinks he is the first to find it!

You could pay some area boys to deal with him.
Much better if you can contact some female cultists they will make him a very sorry little boy.

clit101:
Yeah I forge the statement of acc... but I get d refuse 2012 but now I want to re-register any help

You forged documents and now you want us to help you?

First you must contact the Embassy and find out if you are banned.
If they saw fake documents then you have a problem.

Until you find this out there is no way forward.

askari01:
Good Morning... justwise, worry.. frtpage and other, I just wanna ask a quick question.

A friend of mine travelled to the UK in 1991 and 1993, She was age 8yrs in 91 and 10yrs in 93. She en routed hongkong and Korea also in 1993 .

She's 33yrs old now and single. She wants to apply for UK visa in september and she'd like to know if the previous visas would boost her chances of getting another UK visa. She wants to include the Old passport in her application. Your candid advise will be appreciated. Thank

She can photocopy the page it will do no harm.
Realisticly what she did as a young child over twenty years ago will not affect the decision either way.
She must fulfil the conditions the same as anyone else.

Ties to prove returning home and finances will decide.
