Travel / Re: Likely Questions To Expect At The Port Of Entry by koolmd: 4:29pm On Feb 05, 2016
johhnnie:
Please All, I intend visiting the States to see my sister and her family. Visa secured already. On my ds160, I stated that I will be staying in her apartment and the address was included. Going forward after the visa issuance and the desire to have some privacy cos I do lots of reports writing and online submissions at my place of work, I intend staying in a hotel in the same town as against my sister's apartment as stated earlier. My question; is it possible that this is seen as a discrepancy at the POE? Kindly advise.
Thanks.

Johnie, it doesn't matter that where you intend staying has changed, make sure you have a printed hard copy of your reservation with you. If asked at the POE where you're staying, be sincere and tell them the hotel (show the reservation), the reason you have given is ok. It happens often times when you end up staying in hotel other than the one booked to apply for visa.

@def111, please read all my posts further (still on-line for all to see)... Did you do your research well to see that I cleared the issue of the American visa as been a friend's issue in another post?

Did you also read that I re-applied for that Canadian visa got my visa and went on my vacation in 2013 and since returned after my vacation...oh you expect me to abscond with a tourist visa?Never...Please read and do your background checks well before coming on-line to post funny things...
Travel / Re: France New Visa Process by koolmd: 9:45pm On Dec 06, 2015
@Aibisoye, kindly stick to the reason, if you have an invite and that's what you're presenting, then stick to that otherwise if its for tourism then you normally do not need any invite (I usually prepare an itinerary using tripit.com although VFS will not collect it to include in your application pack but it may sometimes be helpful at the Point of Entry when you apply as a tourist).

For me, with your travel history, you stand a very good chance of getting your visa if you apply as a tourist. The last Schengen visa through France I applied for took exactly 21 days i.e. 03/09/2015 and I got a delivery sms alert on 23/09/2015.
Travel / Re: France New Visa Process by koolmd: 5:58pm On Dec 06, 2015
Aibisoye01, you don't need a paid flight booking, book the flight on hold and submit with your application. That's all you need.

Hello def111, please write with courtesy here and try to respect people's views... Yes, I have posted all you saw at one time or the other and I have gotten responses which had helped me/family/friends while we applied for visas for those trips... I do not apply for visas to run away from the country rather to go on vacation every year as this bill is covered by the organization I work for..

All my visa applications to those countries have been successful through infos I got here and i only ask if anything has changed with respect to border clearance and passport control at point of entry at CDG Airport from the last time i visited particularly because of this terror scare and all you write is an insult...

Anyway house, please i still dey wait heads up so i can enjoy my vacation without unnecessary harassment....

Hello House,

Urgent suggestion from folks in Dubai, a friend is almost at the point of accepting a Managerial Job with a company in Dubai. He's done 3 Stages of Skype interviews.

The company according to him is at Dubai World Central, he wants to know if USD 5000/month he proposed to accept is not a bad deal for the cost of daily living in dubai and of course savings bearing in mind that the company said he will be responsible for his own accommodation. They promised him two annual return tickets to his home country (Nigeria) & health coverage.

Your responses will go a long way to help in this decision making, the person is employed in Nigeria and want to be sure before resigning.

Hi, congrats on ur TRV. Please what are the documents you submitted, how long did it take the embassy to process your application. And how many months visa were you given? I have plans to apply for visiting visa next month by the grace of God. Thanks in advance.

It was a long story...I first applied in Mid Feb.(Paper application), I got a rejection in early April with the reason that my purpose of stay was not clear whereas I chose tourism in the application.

I re-applied on-line towards mid April this time I wrote a cover note on my purpose of visit and what I will be doing during the vacation and in exactly 20 days I got a notification in my CIC account to go with my passport to the embassy. That was all....

As per the list of docs I scanned and submitted..it was a laundry list oooo.

Paystubs, past travel visas, entry/exit stamps, past vacation pictures, Land docs, pension statements, bank statements, hotel booking, flight booking, letter from office, my travel itinerary, previous introductory letters from my coy. to other embassies on my past trips, boarding passes for previous trips mostly to parts of Europe....that's all I can remember ooooo.

I was given a 6 Month visa. Wish you luck ooo!

hayek: As long as there is no annotation on your visa, you can use same for other dates. In case the question arises, simply tell them the truth that work schedule didnt permit you to travel then. But bring along evidence of your work and leave letter if possible.

Thanks!! I will print out my change of leave dates e-mails btw me and HR as well as approval from my supervisor. Hope these should be enough to clear the issue...

Hey House,

I have my TRV to Canada for vacation, I actually applied for the visa with the intention of travelling in May 2013, but I had to postpone my vacation to Mid/Late July 2013 due to tight work schedules, this was after I had gotten the visa. Can this change in travel dates make me have questions to answer at the port of entry? Also anyone has infos on the cheapest air fares to Toronto without going through the middle east route? Will appreciate comments please.

Fisayo Agric: Hello House, Pls i submitted my Temporary Residence Visa Applicatn on 24th April 2013, and wen i tracked it yesterday d status read “Your processed passport has been dispatched from the Canada Visa office Lagos, on 18/06/2013 to the Canada Visa Application Centre. To know more, please call VAC helpline number or visit VAC website“. Pls could dis be a positive news i‘ve bn waiting for?

It does not mean it is good or bad news, it just means a decision has been reached on your application and your passport has been dispatched back to VFS for collection.

I pray it is good news.

ibrak200: okay guy. i go holla u............

Nothing serious about this booking thing men. Check the cancellation policy before you book the hotel, some hotels/rooms have free cancellation (with varrying conditions), some you will be charged 50% at booking, some you can not cancel without being charged etc. Check some rooms out through booking.com platform for Sheraton Pretoria Hotel, Protea Hotel Hatfield,waterfalls boutique Hotel...they have free cancellation. Dont let anybody do your hotel booking for visa application purpose for you, do it yourself ooooo!!!

Vicjustice: I don't think your Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) application was refused because the visa officer thought you do not have a good travel history, but because the officer is not satisfied that your given purpose of visit holds enough water.
Perhaps you meet every other requirement, but if the purpose of your intended visit does not seem to be a valid reason to apply for the TRV, you may still be refused.
Knowing that applying for a visa is not just for anyone who will or anyone who desires but for those who have valid reasons to travel, i recommend that you make a good travel plan by studying the areas that you wish to give as places of your interest and make reasonable arrangements of how you intend to spend your time and the activities that you will be engaged in during your stay: if you can explain these to the visa officer, you would be approved.

I have done this and patiently waiting again for the outcome of the application.
