I got appointments yesterday but the date they gave me is far from my resumption date. My school will resume this month September but the date they gave me for legalization is October. Please I hope it will not affect my admission.

Good day everyone. Please I only authenticated the back of of my WAEC certificate both the Original and photocopy with the ministry of education and foreign affairs. However, on the appointment I was given, it was said that the WAEC should be authenticated front and back. The thing is my WAEC certificate is laminated and part of the back had to be peeled to authenticate it. Is there any implication i.e turned back if I submit the WAEC certificate both original and photocopy with just the authentication at the back?
Please help

Ah, mine is also laminated, can anyone confirm if there's any authentication on the front of their waec

No! If you’re in Abuja, I can help you arrange proof of funds.

Who knows the visa acceptance rate

Would anyone know if another person can go for the legalization on my behalf? So I can avoid making the trip if possible.

Mail your school to know when enrollment ends.

If possible they’d send you a link for online classes.

Hi all,

After many years, God's favorite pikin is in the forum once more to give you guys a little advice.

Well I am in Italy now. If you are going to do your master, and moreover if you are sponsoring yourself, then you do not need to attach any birth certificate from NPC... that was my case. I know my rights so when the (African lady) staff from Italian consular office in Abuja called me on phone asking that I must also bring my birth certificate, I made sure she understood that it did not apply to me... she should go and ask her consular officer... who when he came on the phone told her (after asking me some questions) that it is not applicable to people in my category.

Why is it applicable and when is it not applicable? Although you could choose to do it anyway if you want even when it is not applicable.

If you are being sponsored by your family (you know a thirdparty sponsorship is not allowed) then it is a must that you should attach your birth certificate, even if you are going to do your master degree.

I once worked online with a university and we review docs coming in from allover the world, so I have a firsthand knowledge on how documentation verification exercise is carried out in general, it is not magical... the last person I counseled was a girl who was denied visa here at the Italian embassy in Lagos and she contacted me. By the time I reviewed how she packaged the visa that was denied, and pointed out the mistakes made and how to correct them, she repackaged the visa application as instructed and today she is in Italy. The funny thing is that no two person case that are denied visa may be exactly identical, because our packages are reviewed based on the categories we fit in, but basically there is two major categories which we could be placed
1. whether you are sponsoring yourself
2. or whether another person is sponsoring you
Any one of these two methods greatly change the way your application for student visa would be reviewed. The greatest example being the use of birth certificate not being necessary for those sponsoring themselves (even if you are not going to do a master degree). But becomes absolutely necessary for those who someone else may be sponsoring them, because the names of the one who is supposed to be your parent is stated on the birth certificate and it gives the reviewing officer facts that the person sponsoring you is your father or mother if it corresponds with name on the birth certificate. If it does not, and an uncle or brother is sponsoring you, the birth certificate incriminates you, so you have to attach court declaration of guardian/sponsorship and also prove of the family connection that exist between you and that member. If you fail to add extra documents apart from the court declaration, to prove the family connections, the visa reviewer may be unable to prove that they are your relatives, and so the person would be considered to be a thirdparty. And your visa application would be denied.

In the case of this girl that was denied visa, she was almost screaming at me on the phone that it was indeed her father who was sponsoring her (actually the person was by law her step father, because the mother remarried after the death of her father). But I made her understand how blind her argument was because the visa office would not know this fact, unless your father's name on the birth certificate matches your step father's name, but as it is, they are different. So no matter the court declaration that he is your guardian, it would not make sense. The visa office can only accept family sponsorship, which is a bit different from someone undertaking to sponsor you, that is why guardianship is highly suspicious. So I will add the third category
3. the trickish issue of guardianship

For a guardian to qualify as family and not a thirdparty, you must attach extra documents. There must be a legal or court declaration of sponsorship, and the second document should tackle the motive why they are sponsoring... like the fact they are (1) your husband (2) adopted parents (3) step father (4) relatives or brethren... outside these, someone with no family or legal tie is automatically a thirdparty. And again, each of these subcategories comes with some challenges to prove them. I will only single out two for explanations.... THE CASE OF A STEP FATHER AND THE CASE OF HUSBAND.

Having processed documents for my online university, we can only accept the name change of ladies that got married if they also attach their marriage certificate to explain why their academic documents bears a different surname from their current passport or ID. In that case, no need for court affidavit for name change, because marriage is a legal institution covered by the certificate.

In the case of a step father, as I had to think for some hours or days before I counseled that girl, the process of reviewing is about how legal and convincing your documents are. It made the greatest sense to me, who was well trained to review documents coming into my university from allover the world, that a step father proof can be proven systematically by including the following documents.... a) your birth certificate, which has your late father's name, and mother's name on it (that would be sufficient and more satisfactory than attaching their marriage certificate) b) the death certificate of your late father, c) the new marriage certificate of your mother to your step father d) a commitment letter of sponsorship from the court.... because in truth a step father, who did not born you, is not legally mandated to be your sponsor if they choose not to, so they must commit themselves legally to be considered your custodian. When this girl followed this series of inexplicable steps which I recommended for her, and presented all these documents, along with a letter of apology acknowledging that she realized why she was denied visa based on that fact.... she was granted the visa. She complained that the period to appeal has passed, but I kept reminding her that the visa application was not supposed to interfere with people's destiny if they meet the requirement...so if your university gives you admission, you can still arrive anytime during the first semester which last for about 4 to 6 months.

Good morning, my biological father is my sponsor but he had long sent me the money sometime around March when I was to go to Austria but I didn’t go.

Now I’m using it for POF, do I need to submit his statement of account too.

Hello, please I need more information about this Italy. I had plans to school in Italy after I was scammed by an agent for Poland early this year, my Aunt said I shouldn’t because I won’t get a job to work while am in Italy cause there are no jobs there and after schooling, I might have to return home because I won’t be able to get a post graduate work permit to enable me stay and work while I navigate to next step. Please, how true is this? Her former neighbor once schooled in Italy for Bsc returned back some years ago, so she uses that to compare as of now and I intend to go with Bsc as well tho m married with kids. Any suggestion will be helpful please

I have my surname and first name on my school certificate and my passport include surname, first name and middle name. I hope this does not matter during visa application or legalisation.

Think of it as a gateway, if you're there and see that there are opportunities in another EU country or UK or Australia or wherever, it'll be easier to move from there, than to move from Nigeria. Who knows, Italy might just be perfect for you, just keep an open mind.
