Una Goodmorning o

Wait for years for appointment then in 2mins, you get a blue paper. Don't do lagos for her, use Abuja. Also, what is your status in the us? Perhaps, we can suggest a quicker plan

Ruby56:

Do you advise to reapply ASAP? Or I must wait for months?

Pele dear. Everything will be fine.

Lagos be running wild lately, wahali. I confirmed this

Ruby56:

Yes it’s Lagos,😭😭😭😭😭

Ok, not a bad idea. Please carry and maybe you can post mama's transcript here so we can advise further for subsequent

Ruby56:

Yes I want to book it ahead because there is no early date.

Why so fast re applying? Please let mama rest and try again some months time or you want to just book space abi?

Ruby56:
Pls what does it mean when it says passport still with US embassy but already denies the visa, and how soon can I reapply and what things to do to improve chances

ok

Lagos, i guess

Ruby56:
Update guys.. my mum’s visa was denied 😢😢😢. Just gave her 214b blue paper. These ppl are wicked.

It is a public platform where views are expressed constructively. I did not tell you i had a relative working with the embassy, read carefully, I have people can be anybody, including security. These guys can give you substantial information too, so calm down and read again my message as it was not intended to rubbish your post. I aired my opinion based on what i know and have confirmed from reliable sources including people who post their transcripts here. If you are applying for any of these visas and you are asked if you have been refused, you have to share the information truthfully, because they are seeing it, and they share the same platform. I SAID WHAT I SAID, and you can also confirm

OyoTunjiUSA:




Hey 🤠

Mr hunee but you are a big boy on Nairaland and you are kinda expose a bit . I believe what you wrote up there was a mistake which I am going to correct .


1. If you say US and Canada share same visa portal then you mean that if you want to apply for Canada visa you can apply via your US CGI portal . Therefore , No ! US and Canada does not share the same visa application portal. For example, I went to UNILAG and i had my student portal which another student from LASU cannot make use of despite the fact that both institutions 're based in Lagos. However , they usually share the records of expelled or suspended students .

2. Your correction is for show-off which intends to rubbish my posts but it will mislead others . You wrote up there that US and Canada don't even have time to go through your income and that it's what you told them during interview that matters . Do you attend interview for Canada visa (except in a special circumstances ) ? On US visa , so anyone can just say i earn 10M and back it up with mouth and that's all ?

3. I had a stint with Maple Canada , and BCIE and let me say this to the public that if your immediate younger brother is working in the US or Canada embassy @hunee he won't disclose any sensitive information to you , he would rather tell you lies, so don't come to the public and say you have people working at the embassies .

4. Yes. The US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have a body called the 5 eyes, where they share records on visa applications but not for every dick and Harry, and all the aforementioned countries requires financial evidences before you can get their visas .



Best Wishes 🙏

I also went further to admonish future applicants to always enter their corresponding information's when applying for visas as conflicting data or facts can deter them from visa successes.
There is no point dragging anything, it just two different views on a technical engagements.

The readers are the ones to decide where they belong.
Enjoy your day.

Mr Oyotunji, The US and Canada share same portal, just like Schengen states. The issue of income, they dont even have time to go through all that. It is what you say to them on your interview day , they see if it aligns. You are correct by saying Canada allows you to show more evidences. If you had a canadian visa ban or refusal in the past, it will be seen on their screen on your US interview day, same for US when your application are being processed by IRCC. So , i think people need understand how some of these things work, because i have few contacts in these embassies, and we talk sometimes.

OyoTunjiUSA:



Hey 🤠

When you declare your 700k income for Canada was the visa for the family of four ?

1. US and Canada does not share same immigration portal , but they share sensitive information . Therefore , the US visa process is different to Canada visa process .

2. Part of the differences in visa process is that Canada visa application allows you to submit different financial evidences at the same time , while the United States deduces your financial capability via the duration of your work (years you have been working ) and your monthly income which you indicated in your DS 160.

3. Back to your salary of 700k, it's not too bad especially if you have been earning the 700k for longer years like 7 to 8 years back , so if you think what works for Canada should work for USA then go ahead with your mindset .


Best Wishes 🙏

The most important thing i always tell people, Both online, in the application forms, everywhere and anywhere, allow your information correspond, and if you need update, Please update. They check everywhere to find facts about an applicant and if there are discrepancies in your information, they beckon on that for decision making.

So before you apply for visa, Check online, Check everywhere to be sure you do not have adverse media or related issues.

Goodluck guys.

If i may ask, the quickest way to enter spain now. Is it via work or study? Which did you enter spain with? Your advise will be highly appreciated

fancyto:

The whole of Europe and particularly Spain are looking to cutting down the number of Schengen visas they issue because they realise most people enter to seek asylum or travel to other countries. I remember I was once denied a Portuguese visa even after submitting the right documents but as God would have it I entered Spain and it was when I entered Spain I got the information that all Schengen countries have unanimously agreed to cut down on the numbers visa they issued for obvious reasons. Even people who apply for students visa don't get it easy like before. Having said that anyone can be lucky because it's no longer a walk in the park. One documents I would advise anyone to check properly when applying to any European country is your bank statements that's the most important.

ok, perfect

I say this france you people are still applying for their visas. Make una dey do research regularly, in recent times, they have been top on refusals

Ashirioluwa:



You're making this assumption on your own because there's no logic to it, and I doubt any visa officer will firmly state that the reason they deny a visa application is that the applicant lacks landed property.

Evening Evening @ashirioluwa

Expedited Appointments usually affect applications especially when they are denied. It is even on their portal that your purpose must not be related to such events and you apply for expedited appointments. These are avoidable mistakes, but i see a lot of gurus here always want to test the embassy, so they will ask people to give it a shot. This is even after the notice of their portal.

Agklink:
Hello great people.

Your insights pls
I have a conference to attend by June this year. I was notified about the conference January. I filled my DS 160, paid the visa fee and booked appointment. The slot I got was Dec. 2025 hahaha. I then applied for expedited appointment, i had high hopes coz my IV letter was solid and stuff but 2 days after I received an email that my expedited appointment is denied.

I don't see myself going to the conference anymore.
Should I withdraw my DS 160 application? Coz I don't want that to affect my further visa applications to the states. I have cancelled the initial appointment already.

Moving forward, the spate of refusals has been very high of recent, you can even confirm this on your own if you have contacts of all these walter carrington people.
So best advise now, keep your application moderated, and maintain this event or you do as you intend.

How much is tuition deposit and be careful of schools that are not registered abroad.

Brainiacbbb:
I just got admitted into GBS Malta too.
I am about to make payment for the tuition deposit.
I follow a lady currently studying there on YouTube, she said it's a really good school.

I advise you make proper findings.

Insider reports suggest that refusals has been very frequent in recent times . It is best to be more strategic with your applications. I advise you put up applications for conferences or a major event coming up. Rather than, saying you are going to the US for vacation. This is not a vacation period.
Take note!

Appeals are sent via courier to Nantes, France.
That is the commission for visa refusals.
Google it out or check your refusal note.
It is there.

@odumchi please check your mail

@dominique please check your mail

Please await outcome.

Favourafrica:


Yes I just checked and it’s showing “Awaiting adjudication outcome “ it’s exhausting cause I need to be in Cape Town by February 5th

check status again.

Favourafrica:
Hello guys
I have been sending emails but no response but I noticed today that my payment status is showing “READYBATCH” is it a good sign?

Brotha/Sis, If you need travel now, Use Cotonou, It is just 2hrs to Badagry. I think that saves you all the plenty argument on fx as it concerns traveling. I see no reason why a flight from Lagos to Uk will be 1.3m while Cotonou to Uk is 700k. If You have the monies, fly from Lagos, if you are not too boxed up, Use cotonou. As regards Fx, we are beginning to see some of the good things Emefiele did as CBN Governor, the ones we have there are still learners. They know absolutely nothing.

fkj950ax:


You will still need Naira to buy FX for ticket purchase irrespective of where you are traveling from. You’d still need Naira to buy FX to spend while on the vacation.

As of today, let me run you through the fx conversions.
N/Zar 74
N//Usd 1460
N/Eu 1520
N/XOF 400
N/Sterling 1870
Welcome to Renewed Hope Agenda

Travel via cotonou na.

fkj950ax:


Thats one thing that trumps a lot of applicants interview. Ticket alone is one year salary. By the time you add vex money and other shopping estimates, that is like N4m - N5m (18-24months salary)
So why are you willing to spend 2 years (gross) salary for two weeks? The FX situation is not helping at all

Wow. Pleasure , Congratulations again

davodyguy:

If you check this thread stats, you'll see more than 60% positive testimonies.

Check from 2022 to 2023

If you have been favored by their Schengen visas in the past and present, balance the equation in your statement bruh.

I am speaking faxx here.

Check the feedbacks Since June 2023 till date on France, You will be marveled by the amount of rejections on here.


No sentiment, i am speaking faxx. I got nothing on France.

I remember there was even a report on a nordic nation very notorious for refusals, i think, Sweden too.

So, generally, we can agree Schengen visas are not as easy to get as they make it look.

If you are fortunate to have been issued in the past or present, Na God o.

Some persons will the right documents, sufficient monies, everything, Got rejected..
