Hi guys

Please how long does it take to get appointment?Planning to submit application on Monday, is it possible to get appointment that same week?

bigbus:


As long as you don't need to carry both, you should be fine. Other gurus can say whether it can have any implication in the future (eg. submitting both passports for another visa application for other countries; if NIS officer at airport can 'complain' that your visa is dated before the old 'un-cancelled' passport expired; etc.)

You can still cancel. At any NIS Passport office. (Previous times I did, it always took less than 5 minutes: only need to identify where the office is, and the officer simply stamps a couple of pages and its done.)

nitrogen:


Not an issue really. I had a two passports when I travelled to the UK in March. There were no questions regarding the old one that expired some days ago. I presented both at POE (in Heathrow).

He may decide to present the new one, and keep the other.

Hello gurus in the house I need a sound advice. I want to relocate my family to UK or Canada. Two kids plus their mum. The kids ages are 5 and 7. I have a very sound company with sound account (not boasting o). I intent to grant the kids scholarship through the Company while the mum serve as a guardian since they are very young. My questions now are:
1. Would this plan above fly;
2. Is there school for kids in UK or Canada that is not too expensive;
3. What kind of Visa would be suitable for this plan;
4. Should we go for a visit first to get their school, then return back to apply for study permit
5. What more............
Thanks in anticipation

Hi everyone.. Please I need an urgent answer to this question.

My sister booked a hotel from Airbnb in respect to her husbands Visa application. His appointment is tomorrow and she was just informed that her reservation has been canceled..

Can she booked another hotel to submit at TLS tomorrow? Would it affect his application because she has already written down the address of the accommodation in his application.

Kindly assist me. Thanks.

Hi if you’re really what you just said. You do not need an invite to visit the UK. Your UK education and travel history to the UK in the past should count here. Just apply to take a vacation/visit during the time of the birthday and you will be fine. Honestly I don’t think the ECO will give you a visa to spend close to N500K to go and attend a birthday party of someone not related to you in the UK.

bigbus:


I don't know. You can try make a fresh booking at the same Airbnb. If you choose to make a fresh hotel booking, you can include the info about the change in a cover letter.

ekpotek:


What type of scholarship are awarded to children? Is it to study kindergarten or primary education? Man if you have the fund to send your family to Canada try their permanent resident visa programme. Better still look for school in Canada or UK and pay the fee if accepted. Wether they will be issue visa is another thing.

ekpotek:


Sure book another hotel and include the new reservation as part of your documentation and explain the reason for change of reservation in a cover note.

Since your company is very sound, why not go for UK Business investor visa? It has been mentioned a couple of times on this thread. Go through or search the thread.

mulannoire:


Thank you very much. How do i handle the work iand account issue?

wxyz1:
thanks, let me check how it works, but if it's require me to be present in the UK, it will be difficult.

ekpotek:


A UK business investor visa will require you having a minimum of £200000 to invest in thecUK and if approved will grant you and your family 3-5 years resident in the UK. You may not be present in the UK all the time, depending on the type of investment or business. But if you want your resident to be counted toward Permanent resident you must not be outside the UK for a period totaling 180 days.

Gurus come and advice me oh, I just picked up my passport and my visa was refused. The reason just didn't make sense to me.
I applied for a visit visa, I work in a company where I'm also a co owner. So I submitted CAC documents, tax clearance, letterso of introduction on company letter heads, my account statement, company account statement. Among other things. I'll be going for myou masters in the USA in the fall so I also attached my admission packet and appointment withis the US embassy.
Gurus in the house kindly advice if I should reapply.
Cc@ justwise, epkotek kindly weigh in
