True, let China and Russia they love so much, shoulder the burden. God bless America. The land where dreams come true.
Who noticed that since the return of Trump, there have been so much silence from all the terrorists nation.
Hamas, Hezbollah even their papa Iran don go dumb

I agree. Let Russia and China step in and spend money as well. Their own slavery will be worse.

Princewill1:
Truth is, while millions of Americans are homeless. The US govt has over the years been spending billions in many useless international organization and needless wars abroad.

For example, Imagine billions of dollars America spent in that needless Ukraine War with no return on investment while millions of Americans are homeless back home.

Trump wants to run the country like a business and he is saying enough is enough.

Below is US National debt today:

The war is not needless. Russia is an enemy/competitor of the West invading a neighboring country who are allies of the west with intentions to join NATO. Putin started the war not Ukraine. Ukraine chose to defend rather than submit. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. US spending billions on the war is an unfortunate necessity. The money spent by USAID on transgender and equality and Palestine should be channeled to the homeless.

Xisnin:

Why will the "world" unite against US specifically?

Countries are not run based on emotions but pragmatic considerations.

The "world" doesn't exist as you imagine it.
Many neighboring countries are even enemies to begin with.

Whether China rises or not, BRICS strengthened or not, it won't help Palestinians one bit
in terms of security.
China will not go to war on behalf of another country or territory for war sake. It is not like the west.

In fact, majority of funding for Palestine comes from those who you consider their major enemies,
that is, the west.

That is why Trump suspended USAID. How can you be funding those that hate you??

Come back FOUR where?

With the outbreak of MPOX some health stocks will run koloba koloba. That sector remains the best for me, one catalyst or the other

Hello Sir. Just curious. Do you have a day job? Like 9-5? I am always wanting to invest in US stocks but it seems it requires constant monitoring especially those that can give 100% and above Like you have to monitor news, trends etc to know when to buy or sell.

If you have a 9-5 when do you have time to do all this?

I want to escape from the drudgery of 9-5 through the stock market but it is still the same 9-5 preventing me from starting.

9.75% coupon is attractive, the tenure is 5 years, Im participating but I dont see myself holding to maturity

Yes, the rate is good. But that 5yr long o. It will enter another election year. And who knows tomorrow. Trusting this Govt to pay up in 5years just seems risky.

All you need to know is in the public domain.

Minimum investment of $10,000. The fund must have been in your account 30 days and above prior to the offer

Thanks. I am concerned about the duration. 5years is long o.

You are not listening..
You have a father on the child’s birth certificate.
UKVI can not take your word that the person is not truly the child’s father.
What is hard to comprehend?
By the birth certificate the father of the child is alive and therefore the child can not become a dependent of your husband on his skilled worker visa.
Whether you are now saying the name or the person is your uncle is now late and can not be substantiated by them without proof. After all you provided a birth certificate with this person’s name as the father.
This is a great anomaly
You need to correct this information with PROOF and to further substantiate your claim that you are the only parent the child knows and has ever known, you need a COURT ORDER!
This is the last time I will speak on this as you are not listening.

Take it easy. She is just confused especially when her lawyer is saying something else.

Eliezer28:
OK please do..but like I said earlier my uncle stood has a father for my daughter when she wanted to obtain her passport...there's nothing to lie about...because my mom and my uncle are barein the same surname...i decided to use the name seems my mom insisted....

But putting your uncle as your baby daddy on birth certificate because passport office were insisting is already a lie.

So the Visa people are going by what is on the birth certificate that the uncle is the father and not your claim that he is your uncle.

I guess in the past women have tried to abscond with children without consent of the father.

You need to go and regularize your child’s birth information whether through court or however.

Eliezer28:

So if you go for administrative review, the dna test and court order was not included in your initial submission so they will probably deny you again cos they will be reviewing based on documents you have already submitted.

So you might have to reapply and include dna test, court order and other supporting documents.

Cashmadam:


Can someone actually write unknown for Father? I'm just curious..

I don't know myself o! I was just thinking it should be. Like what are survivors of rape supposed to do if writing unknown is not possible.

It's like step children are at a disadvantage with this visa people. Imagine having to get permission from an absentee father to give your child a better life.

Eliezer28:

Have done court afridavit already....this issue was not from me...it was the person that help me out with the application...why I was pregnant of her,my boyfriend rejected the pregnancy..so my mum then insisted that I use her surname for my child.after she was born I wanted to get a passport for her,at the passport office they insist that they need her father passport or birth certificate...that was when my uncle came in,which he his my mums brother...so I gave birth to my second child to the guy I got married to now....

See how a father's actions is affecting an innocent child. If you had known you would have told the passport office you don't know the father of the child or written unknown on the birth certificate.

Eliezer28:
Please I need your help guys
My daughter application has been refused,received decision letter yesterday, this is the second time, we applied the first one around April together with her sister,her sister was granted but she was refused.and the second one is in July… please I don’t really know what dey need after we have given them what dey requested for

So sorry. So they have finally responded. It is well.

Just follow the advice of the experienced ones here.

bumluchi:

My friend and her husband was 26th July and they are still waiting

Their 15working days will end this week and mine as well. I’m trying hard not to panic cos my friends that also applied around the same time got their visa within 5days and it was standard visa o not priority. I don’t know why they want to exhaust the whole 15days on my own case. I just hope this doesn’t pass 15days o like some stories i am seeing here.

Anybody here did biometrics 29th July and still awaiting decision?

bumluchi:
Good evening all. I am a silent observer here and I love what am seeing here. I saw this thread late after my biometric on the 23rd July. My husband and I have been denied.
His own came out on Friday 9th August while my own came out today

It is well. Yours took exactly 15 working days. Na wa o. Imagine waiting 15 working days just to get a denial.

I feel if anybody’s own is past the 15working days without getting any email they should complain. They should stick to the stated service delivery schedule.

Eliezer28:
can you send me the email address please, and was it today u sent them the mail

I contacted them yesterday through the link below and got a reply yesterday.

https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside-outside-uk/y

Eliezer28:

I just emailed them about my own and they said “I can confirm that your application is being considered and is currently awaiting a decision”.

If i don’t get a response on the 14th working day i am sending a follow up mail.

..

Eliezer28:

When did they say this? Cos if decision has been made and they are escalating I expect you to receive mail the next day or two days after.

Konyinsolah:


No please, how do I go about it?

You contact them but you have to pay like 2pounds.

Eliezer28:

God abeg! Please did you reach out? What did they say?

Konyinsolah:



Today makes it 21 working days for my parents, we never hear anything. We’re being hopeful too sha.

You sey what? It seems I need to start sending emails before the 15days are up cos na Seminar I won go for and I don't have luxury of time.

Lanrebobokay:
Good Day, House,
I’m seeking some advice regarding a situation I’m currently facing with my UK visa.

Last year, I was granted a 6-month UK visiting visa to attend a work-sponsored seminar. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen delays, I only received the visa a day before the seminar was scheduled to begin. As a result, I was unable to attend the seminar or use the visa before it expired.

Since then, I have successfully traveled to Canada, which was after obtaining the UK visa. Now, I’m planning to reapply for a UK visa for a one or two week vacation. However, I’m concerned about whether the fact that I didn’t use my previous UK visa could negatively impact my upcoming application.

I would greatly appreciate any advice or insights from anyone who may have experienced a similar situation or has knowledge of how such cases are typically handled.

Thank you in advance for your assistance

God abeg o! Na my fear be this.

Today makes it 10 working days and i have not received my visa. Next week will make it 15 working days. I hope I get a mail before Friday next week o. God abeg o! This UK people sef. That they put 15 working days does not mean they can't review whatever needs reviewing in two weeks na. Na wa o!!

Konyinsolah:
Good evening everyone, my parents applied for visit visa and they went for their biometrics July 11th but we haven’t gotten any response. Is there a general delay or something? Today is the 20th working day.

Have you tried the paid enquiry means? It should be 15working days.

abubakar123olat:


You mean the visa only took less than two days before getting approval

Two days how? That one na supernatural speed na.

I am yet to receive. It’s still at DMC. Hoping for a favorable outcome.
