Olasanmi01:
I was in your shoes last month
Chose Ikeja TLS as my centre but was unable to choose date for up to a week. I had to cancel the application and Choose Abuja. Now I’ve done my biometrics at Abuja already.
Note that once you cancel your application, it will take them 28 days to refund your IHS and Visa fees. So if you don’t have spare money to start a new application, I’m afraid you’ll have to stick with Ikeja
Wish you luck

Was it a walk in you had?
Do you have any connect there?

Does ABUJA TLS DO A WALK IN??

Good morning house, in my application what am I to fill here? I have just a spouse going with me and I don't have any of these listed examples

PLS HOUSE... QUITE URGENT
HOW MUCH WERE YOU CHARGED FOR 2YRS IHS PAYMENT FOR BOTH MAIN APPLICANT AND DEPENDENT... 2YRS IHS

PLS HOUSE QUITE URGENT, WHO HAS PAID FOR 2YRS IHS RECENTLY... HOW MUCH DID THE SYSTEM CHARGE YOU IN DOLLARS??

Ebuca:


Yes, I submitted my visa application yesterday morning my date was 14th july (Abuja TLS), went there same yesterday and my friend helped me. He took me from the gate were crowd of people were right up to the seat upstairs were i was attended to. I paid walk in 42k and extra 50k for his services. It’s nigeria…everything is possible with money. Everything was in less than 30mins bro. There’s so much crowd there i guess you can’t do walk in if you don’t have connections there

Boss I sent you a mail from tosinmichael... kindly respond so we could chat ...

Hello house
Please which is the most preferred centre for biometric that will be swift between ikeja, VI or Abuja

How long to get a date
Please advise

Please I have been hearing payment of visa and IHS in dollars

The person paying for me in the UK only has pounds in his ... can I pay directly in pounds...

AlphaUno:


1. Yes
2. Not sure if ikeja has walk-in presently
3. Individually
4. Once you pick VI, it will be paid during application/booking denominated in $, while the 42k walk-in is paid on-site with card
5. People’s recent testimonies here is all you need to confirm Ikeja TLS

Thank you for your response �

Hello house, Congratulations to people who just got their visas... Please I have some questions on my mind

Can a UK person pay IHS and even visa fee for someone in Nigeria from the UK aacount??

Does walk in ikeja attract extra 42k or there's no walk in there??

The £55 charge that VI collects, is it individually or covers both dependent and main applicant

Will the £55 be paid in naira (cash or transfer) or how will it be paid if not naira??

How long does it take to get a date at the ikeja TLS compared to VI

Thank you house for a swift response

Rubyzz:
Hello everyone,

Please I need help on how to get my money back from ukvi. I applied for studentvisa Nov and got my visa, now in the UK. During IHS payment I was charged $987, my son was charged 1640.49 and my husband 1640.49 for same length of stay.....

I believe they were over charged, I have sent mails and paid calls and they keep telling me to wait for 6 weeks. Its 2 months now

Please advice me on how I can get my money back

Please whats your length of stay in the UK that you paid IHS for

I'm sorry I'm posting my transcript late but better late than never.
God alone showed me mercy and made this possible.
I want to thank everyone that has ever posted their transcript,  it's helped me in so many ways.

Interview
Location - Abuja
Date - 14th Jan 2022
Vo - Windows 8... not sure jare, tension of all the denial I saw no let me see road... it's the white bald guy sha.
Funding - 6,000
Deficit - 24,100

Me - Hi, Good morning..... with a smile to get myself a bit relaxed.

Vo - Good morning, please me your documents.......

Vo - Have you ever travelled out of Nigeria
Me - No, I haven't

Vo - what do you currently do?
Me - I work at ******* bank in the department of *********

Vo - I can see you are going for your masters in bioengineering, so why this course
Me - Upon my return to Nigeria,  I want to work as a research scientist at the renowned Nigeria Institute of Medical research and i have done some enquiries and realized that I need a masters in bioengineering or any related field to enable me get into that position.

Vo - Are you married?
Me - No, I'm in a relationship (tension made me say that....lol)

Vo - I can see you have some funding from the physics department.
Me - Yeah... it's a Teaching assistantship funding and i will be taking 2 lab sessions in a week, I will be assisting with grading of assignments and tests for students and also preparation of course material..... (he didn't ask what I will be doing but felt the need to explain so he will know I know what my duties entail)

Vo - Your dad is paying for the balance as stated in your i20 right
Me - yes sir, he is a successful business man who is into the importation and distribution of ***. He has branches in Abia, Owerri and Enugu. He also has 4 houses in Abia and 3 in Owerri which are on rent.

Vo -  Types for what seemed like forever...... Everything seems okay, I will be approving your blah blah..... I no hear anything again.
Me - Thank you sir and have a nice day.

Ps... he didn't ask for a single document.
While all the denial were flying around I kept praying and asking God to come and do what only him can do.
I was really worried that he might ask why i haven't resumed as 6th Jan was written on my i20 and my school insisted on getting a visa before they can issue an updated i20 even though I printed email correspondence to show that I have started one online class. That means I didn't go with an extension letter even though my school had already resumed.
In all, God showed up for me and outdid himself as usual.

Congratulations brother... I'll share my testimony too on this thread soon

Hello everyone,
I got to yesterday
All glory be to God

Good evening everyone, I'm new on this thread but I want to apply for German visa but doesn't know the process

How can I please
Thanks

The part of DS 160 that says have you been refused a U.S visa

I picked yes because I've been refused before

The part of the explain

I wanted to write

I was not able to communicate effectively the importance of the study to my organisation in Nigeria
Is this ok or is there any advice??

Good evening everyone, I am new on this forum.. I plan to applied to a school and my wife as a dependent... All I have been hearing has been that ...only agents can help to apply ... I got surprised actually

How true is this and what are affordable schools for science related courses

Good evening fairweather... I sent you a message on your mail ...kindly reach out to me boss

Need your advice bro

fairheart:


3 people in my group shared your post with me. You are not a nice person bro, and it is people like you that turn soft people to cold one. When you ed me, I giving you quality time to discuss your case. I didn't even tell you to pay me until you ask me if I can help you. I clearly told you I was busy as I have personal works I needed to attend to and you need me to come on board to better prepare you for the next interview, you'd pay. I sighting 3 examples of Nigerians that were refused in Turkey and was told to come to Nigeria for their visas and they got it upon applying in Nigeria. They are on this thread. When I advised, I picked from experience of other applicants. I never said you cannot get your visa with your wife. I said you may need to drop her and apply first then she can later. There's nothing in my chat with you that was negative or that said you cannot get your visa with your wife. So, why are you posting these about me? I telling you you can try and see how it goes. I have never told anyone they can't get their visas. I have been refused several times too, so what are you saying? You're an adult and should do things truthfully. You simply wanted to the league of bitter Nairalanders.

I charged you 50K because that is how I test the type of people that come to my DM. A lot of people come to my DM for assistance, and I have had to assist majority without kobo. When I feel like placing a price tag on my time, those who genuinely value my time open up; those who have paid.

Not giving up worked for you; Congratulations.

Chyjoey:


There is definitely an association between his fashion deg business and IT. The interviewee just failed to demonstrate it sufficiently as it relates to him.

Moreover, deferring his ission to apply for a job, although changing his circumstances won't convince a VO, unless he decides to defer his ission for 3 years.

Stick to your story, just make your story make sense.

Thank you brother and others who have responded
The school is willing to change my course to MBA...can I accept this or you think they have my previous info with them??

Or can I change what I do to an IT related field so it can make sense

Do you think my previous info is saved with them??

Ehizy007:

Didn't see the option of a DM ...

Ehizy007:

Superstar101:
cogngratulations .......I Tap into this testimony


Firstly, I ascribe all the glory to God for His mercies and grace ��. If you believe in God keep believing, trusting and having faith do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Never underestimate the power of prayer and Grace!
I'd also like to say a big thank you to this platform for the wealth of information/knowledge herein and also transcripts shared, which I richly benefited from.

1st Attempt:
Appointment - 7th June 2021
Consulate - Lagos
Window - 5
Status - Denied.
It was a day of dishing out blue paper, for every 10-20 people interviewed, only 2 or 3 were approved while I was still there (not exagerating, you can ask those that had their interview on that day). I was interviewed by a dark elderly woman (black American in her 50's). On this day I was just gradually recovering from Malaria, so my voice wasn't as audible as it should.

V.O: Good morning, me your i20 and port.
ME: I did.
V.O: Why are you going to the States?
ME: I'm going for my masters in Architecture with concentration in Sustainable Architecture (types...).
V.O: Who is sponsoring? (Glancing at my i20 and then staring at me).
ME: My mom (said where she works)...I also have some personal savings which will cater for my living expenses (types...).
V.O: Do you have proof to show that?
ME: I ed my sponsorship letter (glances through).
V.O: switches off mic and says I should give her
some time, she went inside with my documents...after 2mins she comes back, types for a while and then reached for the blue paper, returns my documents and port and says I can try again (putting on a pity face). I was in shock as I didn't see that coming and didn't know what she went inside to confirm.

2nd Attempt:
Appointment - 29th July 2021
Time - 7:30am
Consulate - Abuja
Window - 7
COA - $32k
Funding - Nill
Status - Approved (8:30am).
My interview lasted for about 3mins. Interviewed by a beautiful white lady in her 30's. The two guys before me on the row were denied. Immediately I saw that and I was next to be interviewed, I resumed my words of affirmation, declaring that "my case is different, I shall not return with my port" ( I was the first to be approved In my qeue).

V.O: Good morning
ME: Good morning.
V.O: Place your fingers for your biometrics
ME: I did.
V.O: I can see you're going to BG for your Masters in Architecture (starts typing...).
ME: Yes, that's correct...then quickly added with a concentration in Sustainable Architecture (nods head and continues typing...).
V.O: Will you be focusing on Green Architecture?
ME: Yes, exactly (keeps typing...).
V.O: What will this degree do for you?
ME: I intend to come back to Nigeria and hope to utilise this specialised knowledge and skill acquired in creating a niche for myself as an Architect, and my company where I currently work, here in Nigeria as I would be one of the pioneers to bring this back home (nods head and continues typing...).
V.O: What do you currently do?
ME: I'm an Architect in one of the leading real estate/ construction company in Banana Island, Lagos (nods head and continues typing...).
V.O: Who is sponsoring this?
ME: My mom (said where she works)...I also have some personal savings which will cater for my living expenses (nods head and continues typing...).
V.O: What did you go for on your last visit?
ME: Vacation.
V.O: Congratulations I will be approving your visa.
ME: Thank you.

Then she went ahead to talk of the strict Covid-19 protocol and all but I actually didn't hear anything just kept my gaze on her and was smiling behind the mask as I ed what peeps here always say about "not hearing anything" (facts).

Advice/word of encouragement:
DO NOT Giveup on your dreams. Stay focused! A delay/denial isn't the end of Life, Try Again! (Na who giveup carry last). Above all, Trust God! Pray, fast if you can. DO NOT tell Lies. Speak with Confidence, maintain eye at all time. God that did it for me will do same for you �� (What God Cannot Do Doesn't Exists) GO GET YOUR VISA's! #Believe.

Please how did you get to reapply and you had a swift date??
