Guys can you imagine I have collected my passport since morning but scared to open it to see it it was granted or denied. �����
Fear Dey catch me.

Lol �
How come you don’t know if it was granted on denied? Didn’t you get BVL then an email notifying you whether you were granted or not?

Oluwatise2016:
Application was for my mum from Chicago. She is on visit in the US.
I am going for birthing so she applied for visit visa to ff me.

online submission- November 10
bio metrics- November 11
not one single update and the application is normally supposed to take 14 days when applying from within the US but i suspect that as per naija passport her application was treated in London instead of LA or NY.

January 8- BVL
January 8- few minutes after BVL Original Passport Request

Documents submitted:
Bank statement for her. N580k because she had already left Nigeria and the only statement she could get was form the bank she had online banking with.

Congratulations on your mum's visa. Do you have PR or you got your visa for birthing?

Candybright:

I don’t have PR o. Visit visa for birthing.

Candybright:
but it's not possible to pay the application fee if you haven't submitted your application. You can't get to the final stage without submitting your application. Can you explain how that happened?

Thanks , they have refunded my fee

Please house i’m Trying to upload my form I keep getting an error message. I have uploaded other document just this application form is delaying me, I have also compress and do all sort of convertion still not working. Having headache already. Gurus in the house please advise what to do.

Thank you all

Markab:
I think it is solely at the discretion of the Immigration Officer reviewing your file based on the profile submitted

Thanks for the reply. That is the most probable explanation to the outcome. But I still don't understand why so many of the VO's decisions are left to "discretion". Anyways, what do I know!

My mum in law got her 1st visa valid for one year, but reapplying, she got until passport's validity. lol

I did Validate and printed the form out and I scan to re-upload it.

That’s the wrong thing to do. Just validate and upload. Don’t print, don’t sign, don't scan. Just upload after validation.

Exactly what happened in this case..........Mother inlaw applied with her first passport and we thought she would get till validity. It was very disappointing that it was just for 1 year. I considered many options of which one was travel history! Now, your response confirms it all.

Thanks

Well, my friend's mum was given 5years for the first application with no prior travel history

Hi Passe,
Congratulations on your mom's Visa! I am a student in Alberta and I will be convocating in June. I want to apply for my mum to attend my convocation. I have gone through the documents required online but I am having a hard time with the requirement of flight itinerary. How do I get a flight itinerary without having to pay for booking the flight because is not advisable to book a flight when Visa is yet to be approved right? Please I will appreciate any guidance, thanks!

Just go to the KLM website, do the reservations and at the point of making payment, select pay at KLM office. This allows you to get the flight itinerary sent to your mail. That way you don't have to make payment. It is usually advisable to do this a day before your application so that it will still be valid at the point of submitting your application. The whole idea behind the itinerary is that they want to make sure that you kmow the cost of ait ticket and that you have also included it in your financial provision for the intended trip.

How long is the reservation valid for? I tried holding a reservation with Ethiopian airlines but the reservation is only valid for 2 days.
Which won't be valid anymore if VO is reviewing application.

I just checked their site but I don't get it. It's only showing "show offers". Please can you help with the link of that point where someone can make the reservations or step by step of it. Please kindly do this.
