4 Play: Nobody should listen to 4Play . Most of his comments are "tongue in cheek". When trouble starts he will avoid you like a plague. Mr adviser 4play, this is a serious thread, please keep it so. Visa rejection is not the end of the world. My philosophy is "when one door shuts, another opens elsewhere". I have had dissapointments, though not visa related but have always managed to rise above them all. |

stillwater: Look,we can start from Onitsha Head Bridge.That is the collection point.My guy works with the Army.From Onitsha,we took a bus to Gusau.From Gusau,we crossed the border into Niger. From there to Morocco. I'm not saying people shouldn't use visas but there are other alternatives. @Sly Do you remember that guy that smuggles people in the carcass of whales? That guy was a really imaginative dude Imani: Madam,wetin be your problem? The whole purpose of the thread is for people to relate their experiences.I am telling people my own fantastic experience. |

®~^Sly^~®: Leave them,let white people be chopping their money.Our people will never learn,there is an old Russian saying,"zagnief ignatief putin"(people struggle in life when they fail to exploit other alternatives) Why use only the visa route when you can try other routes? You can try the visa one first,if it doesn't work,then you should try this.A friend of mine just came into Spain via Thailand using the same route. |

You can try the visa one first,if it doesn't work,then you should try this.A friend of mine just came into Spain via Thailand using the same route.Exactly!! After-all the goal is to enter Europe successfully or is that not it? regardless of the route. . . .Na to enter be the main thing!! Just leave this peepz. . .they wont listen to simple advise!!! i don't have the time to cue at the embassy and at the end of the day. . . U get turned down!!! and the mosta annoying thing is that! most of these white peepz are not even worth 1/9 of your GP You can feed most of 'em without feeling it in your pocket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yet they are devoid of respect for our intelligence! . . . . .that one is now a thing of history!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to Google Earth for providing a well-marshaled MAP!!!! |

Re: How Does It Feel To Be Rejected A Visa? by Imani(f): 10:06pm On Apr 06, 2008 |
4 Play: You casting out demons, you sure it is not the other way round? , the one that says "paul i know, peter i know, who are you? . The way you go around this forum sometimes, one would think you are one of those english folk who think " i will go to church for me wedding" and nothing else. Looks like you are in a "friendly" mood today, could it be because you team dropped points too . sorry to rub it in . We are more or less out of the title race. Did you say Michael Winner? Is it as a director or a man that slept with more than 130 women |
Re: How Does It Feel To Be Rejected A Visa? by 4Play(m): 10:15pm On Apr 06, 2008 |
@Imani Can't blame you, can I? They say a prophet has no honor in NL(something like that). I run a small ministry dedicated to true Christians ever since the Lord touched me soul. You should drop by one day,you need like you need some exorcism About Winner,as a director of course.You think I'm a womaniser? I'm not like that |
Re: How Does It Feel To Be Rejected A Visa? by ayettymama(f): 10:32pm On Apr 06, 2008 |
you guys are funny, if u want a visa and ur denied just go to another european country and you can get to us or london thru there, besides i dont even no why everyone wants to leave nigeria anyway its better down there. well being born in london i dont think i will know how visa rejection feels but its not the end of the world!! save ur money, invest it, make more money, start a business, there are sooo many options in nigeria 4 u!!!! People running away 4rm niger just lazy! |
Re: How Does It Feel To Be Rejected A Visa? by Imani(f): 10:49pm On Apr 06, 2008 |
ayettymama: How would you know if people are "lazy" if you have never been in their shoes? Living in Nigeria for some is like living in a jungle. A lot of basic amenities taken for granted in the UK like running water, electricity, good roads, good transport links, good education, shopping malls are very limited for most and the average wage for some earners is less than £5 per week. These are people who probably have families, maybe more educated than you but the opportunities are simply not there, or if they are have been subjected to nepotism, as happens a lot in the Nigerian culture. Sometimes it is "who you know" that matters and leads to the right connection. I am not advocating we all abandon our "beloved" country, but for some, when you get an opportunity to see a different way of life, why would you want to go back into obscurity? 4 Play: Tochukwu dear( I have a lady friend called by that name who is way calmer than you ), are you sure the "ministry you running is not another "side business" in London. These days, even cleaners and careworkers own churches after all "the Lord touched them too. You are all touched Give me your address so i can drop by. [s]hope it is not another african house of horror [/s] As a womaniser, you are almost as bad as debosky. where is he sef? Bless him |

Practically, i cant believe you all, why is it that we like talking about negetive things in life, those it help us move forward, those bitterness, anguis, failure and refusal makes us smile, in some cirumstances they are stumbling blocks to sucess, but face it, i rather see a thread that talks about how our fellow m8ts made it, how he got his visa, how she said yes to him, how he finally got admission to school and other testimonies that would give hope, because if God can do it for bro A he can do it for sis B, pls lets not discourage each other by how we were denied, i am saying this because i got an offer in sheffield hallam university, i love the place and would apply for a visa soon and i refuse to believe or allow myself to think that i would be denied. scientist talked about Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), NLP is the study of how language, both verbal and nonverbal, affects our minds. By consciously directing our minds, we can create resourceful ways of behaving for ourseleves. lets help each other. love u all |
Re: How Does It Feel To Be Rejected A Visa? by JUNIT1(m): 4:56pm On Apr 07, 2008 |
the truth is if your paper work is genuine, you would get a visa, most people get turned down because they do not have the right peper work, and all they wanna do is go to that country and stay there for life disgracing the nigerian name. |
Re: How Does It Feel To Be Rejected A Visa? by mishooo(m): 7:22pm On Apr 07, 2008 |
J UNIT: That not very true my guy. many people with perfect paperwork get turned down daily for flimsy reasons. The embassies realized the more they turn people down, the more they generate cash 'cos people come back to try their luck. |
Re: How Does It Feel To Be Rejected A Visa? by tinard(m): 12:24pm On Apr 08, 2008 |
I always believe that any Nigerian with enough money for visa and ticket is comfortable enough in Nigeria. Why are you going make yourself better in Nigeria with that money and apply when the time is right. You will be given, they will be begging you to come to their country. @ author, if rejected there is no need to feel like killing yourself. there are worse things in the world. If you feel like killing yourself when you've been rejected, what would you feel if you are given, you travel, but you do not make it. Then you will not think about it, you act on it so think |
Re: How Does It Feel To Be Rejected A Visa? by bazzman(f): 1:25am On Apr 09, 2008 |
It seems that these applicants have forgotten they are Nigerians, How on earth a Nigerian would want to apply for a tourist visa, cos being a tourist means u ar nt going for business rather u are going to spend over there, and u know that u are definately not going to tour and return so I advise you not to apply as a tourist, If you really wanna tour, have u checked out Obudu? Incase u change ur mind, dont travel to Obudu by air, u may get there in fragments, thanks to our airlines. |
Re: How Does It Feel To Be Rejected A Visa? by amaikama(m): 10:18am On Apr 12, 2008 |
Why? since u are the one eager to leave ur country to his country (s) they would want to prove their country is not a go area by refusing to grant u visa. u can come with the non-refundable visa fees as many times as possible and they will still not grant u one. if u like go and commit suicid is non of their business as long as they have gotten the much money and still getting much more from the unfortunate visa applicant like u, it doesn't boarder them if u die or not. One out of hundred visa applican does that make any difference if u die or got frustated? Abeg, make una bring better talk make we gist abeg |

"many people with perfect paperwork get turned down daily for flimsy reasons. The embassies realized the more they turn people down, the more they generate cash 'because people come back to try their luck." Good talk!!!! Tell them make them hear, e be liks say them no get ear to hear again. |

yeah people with genuine and complete papers experience visa refusal.am a good example. i applied for student visa.bt i was refused.the officer wrote that there were no papers supporting my sponsor's (my mum) financial capability.Guess w@, my mum 's statement of account was actually dere.nd i dnt want even mention how much was in her account.bt trust me it was a huge sum also supported with properties in the uk.She stays in the uk.The annoying thing is that the document they claimed wasnt dere was returned with my letter of refusal.See injustice. that day i felt like kidnapping any white man or woman i saw.trust visa is just luck and favour.i know people who use all fake documents and are given.am stil given it a tot though.lol. I 4git to mention, the embassy was Uk high commission 1 Like |
Re: How Does It Feel To Be Rejected A Visa? by eimiren: 12:59pm On Apr 16, 2008 |
Visa Rejection is an awful experience, I tell you from experience. But you do not have to go through the horror when you have the shoulders of others to climb on. Travelling either for studies, tourism or business is an experience we all can have if we know the right procedures. We may personally not be comfortable with the rates of Visa Rejection but it is believed that it can be reduced with access to appropriate knowledge. If you are willing to climb on the shoulders of others to get things done right at the first attempt then perhaps you should consider eimiren; on the yahoo.com network. Do it right the first time or correct the mistakes that lead to the Visa Rejection by seeking to know the right procedures; or would you rather keep on experiencing the depressing feelings of Visa Rejection? |
Re: How Does It Feel To Be Rejected A Visa? by femikay149(m): 10:21am On Apr 17, 2008 |
emirem, please right procedures or not,you can always be refused visa.i have used a very reliable agency for student visa and we used the right procedures and was stil refused.my friend that did all the procedures all by himself got his visa. See guys, visa is just luck and favour. The embassy decides who they want to give and who they don't want to give, its their discretion.any entry clearance officer will tell you that |
Re: How Does It Feel To Be Rejected A Visa? by Nobody: 2:25pm On May 15, 2008 |
i cant laugh again. IYA, u been busted just like Mr Biggs busted that cheating ass girl friend of his. ya trick ya! |
Re: How Does It Feel To Be Rejected A Visa? by danedrol: 1:38am On May 20, 2008 |
A visa is an official stamp of the embassy or high commission of a country in an individual’s passport or traveling document. It officially authorizes him/her to travel to that country for a period of time which is ususlly stated on the visa. The visa is usually granted for a specific purpose. An individual may be denied entry into a country where he/she has no valid entry visa. Such an individual may be repatriated if he/she manages to enter the country and is later discovered. Any person who satisfies the visa rules and regulations of a particular county may be issued a visa. More often than not, people get denied visas [/b]not because they are not qualified for it, but [b]because they fail to take advantage of simple and available information resources [/b]that will help them to understand what a visa officer really requires from them. Suggestions of what to do before applying for a visa to any country of your choice without any fear of visa-rejection can be found at an informative site, [b]ServiceForts. |
