Nice to know that the thread is manned by very capable hands as it were. Seyewest, Juswise, Madam LadyG, Omobendel24 among others. I will state here that you guys have been doing a very good job on this forum even despite your tight schedules I presume.

HOWEVER AN ADVISE TO PROSPECTIVE APPLICANTS:

I must state that if an applicant does not have a genuine reason(s) to travel to the States, please do not waste your precious funds on visa fees not to mention the resultant negative psychological devastation.

The reform in immigration process is very real not just at the Embassy/ Consulate, but at the Point of Entry.

A word of caution please!

Attached is an entry stamp of a traveller to Atlanta.

Have a nice day!

Good people,

I booked a flight for someone in naija and paid with my credit card, and BA has a clause on their website that if the payer is not among the travelling party then the credit card should be produced at the booking office before the traveller can be allowed to fly. How do I resolve this? Do I have to write a letter to BA or do I scan my Credit card and send to the traveller?

Anyone encountered such before?

Thanks in advance

She said business trip that's what everyone is reacting to. She would have just explained herself. The scenario you painted is different and very possible.

BOmum:
I think people question what they dont know..2 months after i joined my company, I was sent to Netherlands for a 3 weeks workshop..5 months into our employment, one of the ladies that joined with me got a short term assignment in Netherlands for 18 months which she went for...Lets stop doubting things we don't know just because we have not seen it happen and it not happening around us does not make it a lie..Companies get level please..She might be working with one big IOC and not Adekoya and brothers

Adedoyin2108:
Pls does anyone have info on this? Thanks

OmoBendel24:
A big congrats to you! The last set of Dropbox applicants from Nigeria you guys seem to be for now.....

ysteph:
Good morning everyone.

Please i want to know if its just me or if the dropbox renewal in Lagos Embassy is taking more time than necessary.
There is no status update for my visa when i track it on ceac website.
The last update is 18th March and it says ''Application Received''.
When i track my passport is says ''there is no status update for the passport number submitted''
Who else is experiencing this?

jojogirlx:
Thanks alot for your response but pls have you renewed ur pass after being married and change of name?

jojogirlx:
Hello all, please i have this issue bothering me. I got married sometime in 2013. Did my change of name, NewsP Pub nd all that... But my passport expired January this year. I just renewed the passport(that is it still bears my maiden name) instead of doing a change of name. The reason was that i was informed i will have to go to Abuja and it would take a while to get and it cost 53k(of which i didn't have much money as at then and i needed to submit a Valid passport for an admission application which had a deadline of 7days). Am presently about to apply for a US VISA with my family. Pls my question is Would the different names on my recent documents affect my chances? Especially because i did a change of Name in 2013. Nd renewed IP 2019 nd yet i used the maiden name.

OmoBendel24:
This has mostly been on for maybe up to 6 months I think, no need for panic. Below was one of my posts on it at the time, it may be of some help to you.

Arbitrix:
I guess Abuja is faster then. I applied on 9th April and picked up my passport on the 26th. Factoring in the Easter holiday I'll say it took exactly 2 weeks.

Teewhy29:
@ysteph, Same thing with me. I am even tired of tracking the thing sef.

Francent:
For any lawyer or anyone that has gone through divorce route , Pls i need an answer to this question

is it mandatory that a couple must officially separate before divorce in Nigeria? Is there any paper work to show for it , or is it possible to file for divorce right away once a fellow wants out of a marriage.

wakaman007:
Hi guys. I was recently issued a B1/B2 visa 1 year multiple entry to the US. This was for a training program in Texas. However, my ticket POE is Washington since am headed to Maryland. Can i get an invitation letter from someone in Maryland and use as my reason for entry into the US, or was the reason for visa issuance entered into the system. In which case the Port officer will know that i have changed my reason. Please advice me. I am confused. And to be honest, i don't intend to come back. I dey go na to hustle.

Gopulence:
Good morning house,

I am new on this thread but I have gotten a lot of information within my short time of visiting this thread. Thanks for all the information.

Please house, I need clarification on one thing. I intend to apply for EE soon, I have a daughter which I intend adding as my dependant but the mother and I are not in good terms. In fact I don't have full access to my daughter.

The question is should I include my daughter in my application or should I apply alone? Knowing fully well that I am the only that intends traveling now and coming back for my daughter in the future.
if I don't declare that I have a dependant will it affect her chances in future?

Thank you for your candid advice.

Good Morning Everyone!
Happy New Year!!

Congratulations to all on your PPRs and ITAs...some of you have contributed significantly to this thread and I am so happy to hear your good news!.
Here are my issues now o:
1. I really do not want to apply without my husband. I am aware that I can make my husband accompanying after receiving ITA...I need to recalculate my points and if it meets the cut off for that draw, I can go ahead to apply. When I do this, my CRS is 443. BUT remember the tie breaking rule was January 2nd and this new profile was created January 19th...if I add my husband now will this cause an issue??
2. My husband has a BSC from Nigeria and a PGD from a foreign university. When WES evaluated his foreign PGD it came back as one semester...I did not understand this one semester matter o, so to calculate our CRS scores I have only used BSC for him. If I use 2 or more degrees our crs will be 444. I read a few days ago of the lady who used her wes certificate even though it said one semester...I am wondering if this is a viable option for us, but I don't know if her case was just an exception or if we should risk it...what are your thoughts please?
3. Should I just decline this ITA again??
4. Can I email Ontario asking them to reinstate the NOI issued to my previous profile that went ineligible or has that NOI gone with the wind?

mykolalekan:
Thanks for your contribution. I was really hopeful and have no doubt in me that I will succeed in my journey until about 3 days people I know both outside and within Nigeria start discouraging my intention. Once more, your advise is really appreciated.

boladan:
Hello all, what are the chances that a child of 1 year accompanying her grandma who is a permanent resident would be given a visa? The child's mother will be going for a course during that period and the father is presently in Canada?

Good morning everyone.... As promised, I will be sharing my experience here even though my interview was strange and may not be helpful to a lot of people especially virgin visa applicants....



Good morning

Osaze007:
My pple well done
I just got an offer as assistant director with a bank in Toronto (4 levels higher than my previous role in dubai)
I can’t even believe my luck
This year I lost my job in dubai and thought my life would come crashing
I had mental illness and my body will move involuntary
I felt like a failure
I gained weight due to depression
I had blanks out and forgot what I was meant to do at work
I originally planned to move to Canada for good late 2019 little did I know God sent the storm my way to place me where I need to be
I want you to know no matter how stormy the situation you will overcome
Pray and always plan ahead
I have never seen anyone suffer due to both

I’m starting 2019 on a super solid note
I’m now ready to settle down with a woman that has sense
A working class woman ready to build our future estate/kingdom

Life is good
I have lost weight
I don’t have blank outs again
Everything is going smoothly
Peace out
