Thank you for your quick response.
I only want to add here that am not travelling alone but with my spouse.
once again thank you and be blessed.

OGreene:
There is no problem with that. I chose another hotel when I travelled. The ECO just checked to see that I indeed booked a hotel where am staying. If the ECO asks you, u can say u found out Ibis is a better hotel, better review or somethn sha, tho I don't tink they will ask.

Again, if the time u stated in ur application is not the time u re travelling, then dats enof reason. Fret not

As u re travelling alone and hv no one in the UK, the ECO will be very interested in why u re travelling alone and what u came to do, so have those places u want to visit in mind, since u re going for tourism. Be jovial, dey will ask u why didn't come wt someone to make d holiday more fun, u shud have a reason, don't cook up stories. In my own case, I told them my friend was supposed to apply when I was applying, but for some reason she didn't, and as d year is winding up, I have to go on vacation and can't carry my leave days till d next year. I even told dem not to worry, that I will be fine .

Later another one came up to me asking how I made d flight payment, I said bank-transfer. Those ppl eh, dey sha want to fish out something even when nothing dey. Pls don't be tense.

Hello House kindly sort me out.
I applied for UK visiting visa with hotel reservation; Lonsdale lodge to be precised and i was granted the visa after which i cancelled the reservation.now i need to be in UK later this month;so i had to make another hotel reservation with ibis Leyton London.I want to know if there will be no issue with this at the port of entry as i don't have anybody in UK but to stay in a hotel which was already mentioned on my application?.

kindly send to kemmie100@gmail.com

Please can somebody work with F2 visa?

worry 359:


Very often people are NOT told directly.
They only find out when making further applications.
Do you have a reason to suspect a ban? Fake documents is the most frequent reason for ban.
Give the exact wording of refusal (without personal information) we may able to clarify.
Or just ask UKBA. They will tell you if ban is in place.

Thank you for yours response, I applied in 2007 but was given Appeal though tourist but I was not granted the appeal, now I want to apply for Dublin visa, just to be sure am good to go, have been united states, Kenya, south Africa but I don't want anything to stain my passport.

Pleased like know, if one is to ban for any act, will the pronouncement be communicated in written or what?.or the applicant will be know is under any form of ban.

Sagamite:

If you know any savings deal that you put in 1.5m and the financial company pays you 150K a month, abeg tell me.

I will transfer all my savings immediately once I verify the institution's authenticity and capital & liquidity ratios.

I will put in N1.5m and a bank would give me N1.8m as interest a year, with my N1.5m still intact?

AHHH! Jackpot. Better than any lottery.

My mistake........ 10% per year or more....depending on your nego power.....mainly don't rush into doing business

home-bucks:
gud dayy house, I need an urgent advice. I have been relieved of my job in a bank just last week but my savings plus my entitlement sums to 1.5m. I served as a marketer for yrs. I have an ICAN cerificate. Am married with 2 kids. My wife does petty biz of baking. We live in Abuja. It came somehow as a shock but i have put it behind me. Should i start a busines? If yes i have no business idea. Pls house, advice me.

for me fix that 1.5m for like 2 years with a deal of 10% per month, that gives you time to be stable , re-organize urself and family ....then u can think of business......please don't rush to do any business at the moment...........10% gives 150k per month u can leave on that .......while u think ahead of next thing to do.my advice.

Obynowhite: I have always daydreamed about studying nanotechnology but i don't know how to go about is since there is no university that offers that course here in Nigeria and how good the remuneration is. Thanks.

VisaOfficer:

Thanks for clarifying. No, there's no penalty for not using a visa. Based solely on what you've written, I think you have a good chance of successfully applying in the future.

thank you...am relief now..........

savemysoul: Dear Visa officer,
i need your professional guidance,i got a student visa for 2 years in 2011 unfortunately i lost my sponsor after few weeks of my arrival, we were doing orientation then,so i had to defer my admission and return back home ,knowing fully well that i can't pay by myself and i have a fairly good job at home.
Now i want to reapply for study( masters) in a different school because my deferment has expired.my question is do i reapply for a new student visa or apply for re-newal.
thank you for taking your time to respond.


Greetings! According to my colleague, you do need to apply for a whole new student visa. "We can't issue student visa without a valid I-20 from the school they will attend. If this person was a continuing student going from BA to MA [at the same school] then he wouldn't need to reapply for SEVIS, but since he didn't maintain his student status, his SEVIS was terminated. So you're right - he/she needs to start the process all over again." I hope this helps.


here is my question, any penalty for NOT utilizing the initial visa and what are my chances of getting another one now that i can pay for my school and have strong tie at home, married with 3 kdz, got a good job.
advise.

VisaOfficer:

Good morning! There are too many factors involved to estimate your chances just from what you have written here. If you can show that you can afford to pay for your schooling, however, at least the officer will not be concerned about that issue. Good luck!

sir, what am trying to ask here is that is there any penalty for NOT using the visa i was initially given?, i was given 2years n i only used 5 weeks......

GboyegaD:

You can go ahead to reapply and explain your case well to the VO. The probability that you will get it seems higher to me but it all depends on your response(s) to the VO. I know a friend who had to come back for some time to Nigeria whenever he couldn't pay and then reapplied for a visa to come back.

Thank you like that spirit...will pray about it.

De Tus: @Savemysoul. LOL, ur interview requires tele-conferencing to actually knw wat conspired between u and d sch. In all honesty, ur chances of getting this visa now is very slim. U could have written to d sch within the two years, i'm sure u would have been re-admitted. Who was ur sponsor in 2011? I can tell u wat to do to make ur case sound unique if only u tell me d truth. Honesty is very important here.

Hello,let's continue with our internet conferencing,it is important for you know that I was in that school to defer d admission, but get it I couldn't raise the money even at then , I had to return om n continue with my job.
My sponsor initially was arrangee doc (oluwole) ok?, you should be apy by now, waiting for your professional advice.

GboyegaD:

Like I said, his chances are not slim as a VO would see that his intentions are not to run away otherwise, whenever he ran out of cash he would have stayed behind illegally.

I told you to ignore his post as you had no reason whatsoever to conclude that he is not genuine except he had proven otherwise. It is better not to comment on a post than make insultive statements.

Brodas, I only way I can be happy is for us to come together as one, please need NOT quarrelling over this issue....pls brodas.

wabi_wabi_91:

Smithjanetstore you have mail. I've emailed you concerning our previous discussion.

Thank your quick and quite educative response, now i want to say i have no friends in the US except from DC.this sponsor will be a issue oooo

ojdollars:

Bros, DC is like Migrating to Abuja to Live and Work. Not saying average income earners aren't there, but is wise and advisable to start climbing from the bottom of the leather to get to the Top... Most people who live in DC area earn above $100K Dollars.. Texas is a good start, na Oil state, they got the best economy in the US or one of the best. But if you want to Migrate to a state like DC WA... Make sure say you get employment first... If you be healthcare persin, no too much trouble, cos healthcare na survivors nationwide. Good Lucky Sir/Ma

guys, I sincerely appreciate all d contributors on this stream, God bless u real good.
now my question, I have not seeing anybody migrating to Washington D.C, Is there any problem there, in terms of accommodation, job, Gc, SSN?.please Send info about DC?.
