Please, can someone tell me if there are any chances of getting a six months resident permit? There are no 180cr for the spring 2011.

Accusation for a forged bank statement shoots the applicant's credibility to zero at any embassy, but all the same God dey. Appealing against that decision will be VERY hard, for real, but still no lele.

I think it was Akolawole or justwise on UK visa appeal thread that talked about a back door way of still winning an appeal with bank statement forgery issue. You may do well to get a lawyer, my friend got a lawyer for his UK appeal with same issue, got confirmation letters from the bank, but that account must be an existing one, i really dont know the degree of ur forgery. a genuine doc altered is forgery, a doc that doesnt exist at all is also forgery, you may do well to answer us here if that account dey exist, if it does, then you have a bleak chance of winning your appeal, but am not sure with the migration board, but with the administrative court, who will decide on the basis of documents presented before them, am not trying to support any illegality here, but my guy is in trouble and he needs help o, the way and manner we help him now doesnt count much, the end justifies the means. Re-package urself, get a confirmation letter from ur bank, get an attorney to do your appeal for you, it takes a good lawyer who knows his onions to win this case. Back to my story, my friend won the appeal at Assylum & Immigration Tribunal, but the judge left a clause in his promulgation, instructing the british high commission here to do a re-check of the account before issuing him a visa, but he allowed the appeal. Embassy here with enuf evidences held on file, didnt stop at nothing, but did verification like 3 times and refused the guy again base on altered statement.
Do your appeal, but tru a lawyer. thats my 2 cents

You do not need a lawyer or anything to appeal against a decision made on your application. you can do everything yourself. What you only need is pointing out the reasons why you were refused and possible reconsideration. But, you must support your appeal with new documents.
However, if you cannot write the appeal letter yourself, you can then find someone who knows how to use good command of English language and expression. I must tell you that every statement you make on your letter is VERY important. You must not write to implicate yourself, else, your appeal will be refused.
You only have 2 weeks to get a response from the court once your appeal case has been decided. You person in charge of your appeal will contact you. Good luck!

When i said he needed a lawyer, i was referring to the surrounding circumstances on his refusal, it seems to be very grievous. how do you explain to embassy urself that u applied with forged document, except you know it is a false allegation. I have written paper appeal for two of my friends who are currently studying in UK, and that was because we had a good case or story to tell, but where you have a case of forgery, you may need the input of an expert lawyer.

Please tell me about the appeal process, am yet to get a response from them saying that my appeal has been received or something. whats the way forward

it will take two weeks for your appeal to be revealed and answered. you start counting your two weeks from the day your appeal was received. the person that will reveal your application will contact you through his/her Secretary. you will be given a case number. from there you can contact the secretary whenever you want regarding your application. if you are not contacted, then it is from the region that is treating your appeal

My good people, it's getting pretty close to my leaving Naija. I am now counting hours and believe me, i have developed cold feet already and more like why should i even leave haha. I have some questions to ask but now i can't think properly so, pls if any one has any advice do not hesitate to give a brother but ofcos i will not forget to go to the airport with my PP and Ticket lol(that's on the humour side though, trying to feel happy but i don't think it's working.) Is this feeling Strange? Some1 share pls!

@Ashiri, how far with ur appeal, i really hope it turns out great cos u r one nice dude and i wish you all the best.
@deoyel, hope to speak with u when u arrive next week, i will send you my no once i get there.

@Linda, i have to say it here, you are one in a million, you have been so helpful. God bless you!

@ all cheers!

No! I didn't plan this to be a farewell speech or out of NL speech, we still dey here for each other. One luv!

@IykeD, Its well my guy. I'm starting to feel the same way too. Thank God for social networking sites like facebook and a blog like nairaland. With them, we will never walk alone.

Iyke, Deoyle and all my online buddies, nairaland is a wide spectrum of social networking tool and an environment of knowledge share which of course forms a bulk of the progress a lot of us have mad so far as it relates to admission and embassy issues. We don't sell information here on nairaland but give it out at no cost, except the fact that you need to pay for your internet subscription which is about the only thing.

My advice to you guys is to download the practical arrival guide document from your schools portal or do a mail to the international office and request for the PDF file, this will help you with road network, bus or train fares, you may also want to get all your books here in Nigeria as they are more cheaper here or find a free e-book download site. Try and find out if you require a yellow card (vaccination clearance), get all original copies of your credentials, transcripts and certificates.

Guys, i never hear anything from sweden o. No one is talking. My frnds appeal got to them on friday, he was issued visa same day and has picked up his visa today monday.

I want to know if the visa officer in my case no gree change the decision, and where is my documents now. Have they forwarded it to administrative court. I do mail twice to them, no reply, called their phone, na swedish language, am just so fed up.

Ashiri iq, how far,u don hear anything about ur appeal?

Another drama on my case, spoke with my case officer on phone, he said he forwarded my appeal to the court, maybe he wasnt convinced i have the fund. I called court, they sent me two docs, legal proceedings so far on my case and another one asking me to write a petition again. In the proceeding, Immigration service disputes upheld my appeal, migration board not satisfied with the decision and appealed against it explaining to them that i moved my fund from my account to another account.i presented them another evidence of fund, they said its not their job to verify my account, that na abuja work. Shebi dem suppose contact abuja ni, anyway to cut the long story short, i don petition again - why are these people treating me like this. What parameter did they use in deciding the appeal of other people in 1-5days. God help me.

@Ashiri_IQ, I've been away from here for some time. I'm now in Sweden though but I'm still trying to settle down. One of my guys also received the same message about his appeal. I hope that they are not intentionally doing that to waste time. Anyhow, whatever will be will be. You'd share your good news very soon man. All the best.

I sent in my final petition on the 1st September 2010 and finally God has done what no man can do, migration court has granted my residence permit on the 14th September 2010. Guys, am so happy and am shedding tears of joy, thanks to you all for your prayers, am just short of words. Now the game has begun on nairaland, gents kindly lets keep this forum lively and back to life. We have to make it more popular than the UK visa section, the world's thirst for qualitative and cheap/free education is moving to shengen countries and our destination for now is Finland, Sweden and Norway.

Its a great honour and privilege to be counted among Nigerian students in sweden

Deoyle, how far with your friend case, tell him to do me a mail, i might be helpful.

Ashiri_IQ:

Deoyle, how far with your friend case, tell him to do me a mail, i might be helpful.

Hey Everyone, My case officer just told me she DIDN'T GRANT me because i can't meet up with the resumption date

Finally God has answered my prayers. My RP is ready for collection on monday.

I have seen the right hand of God, I have no reason whatsoever to doubt God.

@Ashiri_IQ, I feel you bro.
@mr.man, I'm so sorry about your case. I believe everything has a purpose. But never give up. God is taking you to a better place.

Gosh ,

This has got to be my first click when ever I enter NL, My peeps are here oo, Congrats to those that got their Visas , I applied for Spring 2011,I'll be needing advise from you guys and updates as things are progressing, And I hope by Gods Grace, I'll rejoice soon too, Amen,

Again, Congrats, And those that havent got theirs, God they,He'll See you through Amen

Hello Ashiri,
Congrats! I expected the mail you said you will send to me but i didn’t hear from you until i entered nairaland again to see that you were granted the residence permit for studies. It is really wonderful to see that you are preparing to join us in thereal cold club in Sweden. Welcome to Sweden in advance but still make sure you write me that private mail so as to know what you need to travel with for your own good. Incase you find it difficult to recall who i am, then, go through the below previous conversation of both of us;
On 28th of July i wrote the bellow message to you;

Hello Ashiri,

ACT ON THE BELLOW INFORMATION FAST BECAUSE YOU WILL STILL BE GRANTED YOUR STUDENT RESIDENCE PERMIT.

The decison on your visa application can be amended because it is your bank that revealed your account information to the Sweden embassy which is not suppose to be so. But only if you had filled som form at the embassy, allowing them to verify your account that way. Otherwise, they are wrong to check your personal bank account.
You can still get the visa for now because it is not yet late for you. Try to 1. redeposit the required fund into your account and print it out. 2. make a photocopy of your international passport, 3. make a photocopy of your appointment detail 4. print out the decision made to your visa application and 5. a personal letter stating that you used the money in your account for personal business and now you have redeposited it back. Send everything to the Sweden Embassy. It is not yet late for now and you MUST be granted your student residence permit for studies in Sweden.

For furthe information write me personal note to: ifeco1a_y2k@yahoo.com or ask Iyke who has gotten his residence permit on how i advised him.
Thanks

Linda (Now in Sweden).

And this was you reply on 30th of July, “Ife, thanks so much, u are the bomb. Am filing in my appeal with the required fund. I will do you a private mail. Your input will help me a lot”

Now i have spoken with Iyke and because he is now in Sweden and feeling very good.
Congrats again and i still look forward to hearing from you soon.

Linda.
