US Visit visa is 2 years. When you arrive at a US Airport, CBP will grant you entry for usually max of 6 months for that trip. You can travel multiple times on the same visa. Don't sha stay for the whole 6 months. Thats no longer a tourist visit. Granting visa and entry to the US are different things thanks a lot |

Your question is not clear. Sorry I mean if i apply for a tourist visa and the VO decides to give me the visa, what duration do you think he's gona give considering I am a first time applicant ? In UK for instance, first time applicants get 6months tourist visa, and subsequently they can apply for longer duration like 2 years. For US tourist visa what is the duration of visa given? 1 Like |

Horokrox: The only shameless DEFEAT and global humiliation is what is awaiting USA and NATO backed clown Zelensky and all his demented sympathisers including an IDIOT extraordinaire like you Your deluded assertions are laughable ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) We all know who is already sufferring profound humiliation at the front line. In his delusions, he believed he had annexed the eastern and southern states of a sovereign nation and hastily declared them "Russian" only to be faced with the reality of a fierce fighting unkrainian army who are ever ready to fight to the end with thier last drop of blood. Now your highly overrated clown has been informed by his super Amageddon commander that the situation is critical and the useless man is now thinking of evacuating his stupidly installed fake regional leaders. Confused and appalled by the woeful performance of his fatigued and demoralised soldiers at the front line, he shamelessly ran to Iran for drones forgetting that drones cannot fight at the front line. Killing harmless civilians and damaging infrastructures with drones in a sovereign nation cannot make you a hero. The real heroes are ukrainians ! And to add to your pains, NATO and USA have not even got involved. They have only supplied limited amunitions with no boots on ground. Let PUTIN nuke Ukraine then he will see NATO boots on ground and the war will properly be defined. No normal human with good conscience will be in support of a needless war that has sent innocent children, women, men and soldiers to thier untimely death just because of ego of one overrated man. From whatever angle you look at it, HE IS A BIG LOSER as he is already getting the opposite of what he is fighting for because his neighbouring countries who are not part of NATO have now rushed to secure application forms to join NATO thereby expanding the alliance, his nightmare. Ukraine is also fast-tracking on joining EU and NATO and at the end, RUSSIA will be surrounded by NATO and caged appropriately. God does His things in a mysterious way. Continue to support tyranny and injustice but TIME WILL TELL ! |

Kasssandra:
He did not.
Fact is, the Soviet Union was on a downward slope by the 1960's...the oil boom of the 1970's just delayed the inevitable.(Some people were already seeing the downfall of the USSR by the early 1980's...when Gorby was just an apparatchnik)
The basis of the economy of the USSR was government run monopoly companies that were not allowed to compete globally. Meanwhile, the USA government won't protect their domestic companies the same way...with the result being that their companies had to up their game to compete with Europe and Japan and later on Korea and Taiwan....meaning they got innovative, better, and so forth. By the time Gorbachev came around, the soviet companies were weak compared to Western companies. Problem 1.
Also, the soviets gave free housing, free healthcare, etc...without paying for it by taxes, etc. By the 1980's they were running out of money to pay for free stuff (intially they got money from war repartrations from WW2, then the oil boom of the 1970's...THEN THE money ran out.) Problem 2.
Also, in the Western countries...you do well at work, they promote thee...and give you cash incentives. In the USSR? Maybe a promotion, and a medal, but not much in the way of cash incentives. Productivity suffers, economic development suffers. Problem 3.
On top of that, the USSR was basically Rossiya subsidsing smaller countries in Europe and Asia...and paying for a capital intensive defence industry, AND subsidisng a war in Afghanistan, AND...helping a lot of third world countries. That drains money faster. Problem 4.
There was nothing Gorbachev, or the hardliners who tried to remove him , could do.
The reason why we have a Communist china? The Chinese in 1979 realised that they had to make their economy capitalist., and eventually open up to global competition. That's why they still exist. If the Soviets had done the same in the 1960's...there still would have been a USSR. Thank you for this |

Actually the visit should be October 2022 but ends September 2023 hence the need for clarification on the expiry of my passport. An immigration officer also told me they can renew the passport but with an approval of their passport controller but with an extra fees. But my concern is just to clarify if I can travel back home while the passport has expired because if I start the renewal process now, only God knows when it would come out. if the visit is from october 2022 then you should be ok as per visa application and no one will expect you to renew a passport that still has nearly 1 year validity. Alternatively you can go ahead and try renewal, the most important aspect is biometrics data capturing. If the new passport come out when you are in the UK someone you designate can collect it and send to you through DHL. However, like someone already said, you can also return back to Nigeria with your already expired passport without problem. In fact since the covid crisis and the consequent delays in issuing new passports the Nigerian immigration has authorised Nigerians especially in diaspora to travel with thier expired passpots without any hindrance and I personally know those who have been travelling to Nigeria with thier expired passports |

tolats: Someone please help!
I am planning to apply for a standard visitors visa (academics) or Temporary Work – Government Authorised Exchange visa (for sponsored researcherer) - (not even sure which one to go for yet) in September or thereabout for a Postdoctoral research visit for 12 months in UK. My question is about my Passport which expires in 13 September 2023 but the suppose visit would end 30 September 2023. Do I need to renew my passport in order to have the whole period of visit/visa covered in the passport or I should go ahead and apply with the passport that would expire before my visit ends?
Please I need your advice. Thanks in advance. Even though i think it's too early to apply now for september 2023 visa, in your case I will suggest at the ideal time, you apply with the same passport and write a simple explanatory letter to explain that your passport will be renewed before the expiration of the current one while stating you couldnt have renewed it before applying for the visa as the passport still had up to 6 months life span. Alternatively, still try to renew your passport even if it has more than 6 months left before end of validity, you can never tell how possible it could be. I am a living witness because i have a passport that expires 10th december 2022 but i still applied for a new one (10 yr passport) in March 2022 using an agent in Lagos and the passport came out in May. Try to speak to an immigration agent and you ll be surprised many things are possible in this country. 1 Like |

Religion / Re: Pope Francis Appoints Bishop Peter Okpaleke, 20 Others As Cardinals by yerima21: 5:59pm On May 29, 2022 |
Faber: This guy was rejected by Mbaise people as their Bishop because he hailed from Anambra State. But those that brought the Gospel to Onitsha and entire Igbo land were from Ireland. As Mbaise diocese of Ahiara rejected him. He exclaimed: " my bones shall rest in Ahiara Diocese" that alone signalled his faith, courage and readiness to die for the sake of God, because it was God that called him to be a pastor and leader in Mbaise.
Peter Obi was governor of Anambra State then, he prevailed on him to forget about Mbaise diocese, that God knows the best. bishop Peter went back to his home diocese of Awka and remained without an Episcopal see. Some where calling him a Bishop in a parish, some called him Vagus Bishop. He kept his faith and keep on contributing to the work of God. In 2020 Pope Francis appointed him as Bishop of the new diocese of Ekwulobia in Anambra state that's Governor Soludo's home town. He packed his luggage to Ekwulobia without fear to lay foundation for the diocese. Barely 3 years, he is now appointed Cardinal, the highest ranking cleric after the Pope. He will take part in the next elections ( conclave) to elect a new Pope if Pope Francis dies or resigns.
My people God writes on a crooked line. The rejected is now the chief corner stone.
I am Proudly Mormon, but I read this guy's story with Mbaise people and have been following his development since then... Thank you so much for this summary of the travails of Bishop Okpaleke. It was was really pathetic the way he was treated by Mbaise people who locked him out of his episcopal seat. Today he is celebrated by Rome and his ministry will continue to grow from strength to strength. I am proudly Anglican but i followed his story closely. God bless the Pope, the church and all lovers of God. Big Congrats Cardinal Okpaleke ! 23 Likes 1 Share |

Please OP, get to a good hospital and request to see a dermatologist as quickly as possible because that wound looks like a "suspicious lesion" likely a squamous cell carcinoma (raised irregular edges with a necrotic center, failing to heal). The good thing is it can be easily treated if done early. Sure it needs a biopsy for confirmation but that should not delay surgical excision to avoid it spreading. Please dont ignore this advise or you can dm me if you need further clarification. Peace ! 4 Likes |
