Hi everyone,
I selected a May 6 visa appointment date, and I was trying to reschedule it for an earlier date. However, it is asking for confirmation as shown in the attached picture. If I click "Confirm," does it mean the earlier appointment date will be canceled, even if I decide not to select a new date?

When did you book the May appointment? Did you book this May appointment for Abuja or Lagos? Thanks.

...

antifat:


Thank you but my conference is in March! Can this be possible? March 10 to be precise.

Yes, it's possible. That's if you're fortunate enough. That's by searching and surfing all the time, even at midnight. You might just be lucky. Yeah!

Ashirioluwa:


I believe there's a glitch in their system because I was facing the same issues a few weeks ago when I was searching for an interview date and time for my wife, but I was able to pick a date a few days later.

That's nice. So you pick an appointment date for same Lagos few weeks ago? Which Month did you pick to be precise? Thanks

Ashirioluwa:


Forget about miracles, and face reality. Book whatever date is available now and reschedule if an early date becomes available.

After you book your appointment, you will be given 2 rescheduled opportunities.

Nice and profound advice. But this doesn't imply to Lagos applicants, because appointment dates are not viable for Lagos, except for Abuja.

antifat:


What is the earliest date one can get in Abuja?

As at now, you can get May in Abuja. But for Lagos, no viable appointment dates yet. It's so pathetic😤

adayola:


The dates showing July 2025 are not working. The real ones which are working, starts from November 2025. So one can either take the risk of waiting (which may not work) or move ahead to choose the November 2025. The only thing is that while one is waiting, others are choosing the next available dates (From Nov 2025). This is only for those using the Lagos consulate

Thanks for your response. Yes, you're right. They should rectify Lagos appointments dates, I think it has an issue. Because Abuja is working perfectly fine.

orbgoblin:



Those July dates are fake.

So fake!!! Absolute fake!!! I really do not know what's wrong with Avits. They're collecting visa fee without releasing viable dates. Everyone is stuck in picking appointment dates. Damnit!!!

Folayommie:

Lagos o, I tried Abuja and it’s working fine but I want Lagos embassy. Hopefully they resolve it

Only God knows why they don't want Lagos applicants to book appointment for Lagos. They should try and resolve it soon, because a lot of people are stuck.

Folayommie:
I’m trying to change my parents interview date to July 2025 but whenever I click on the dates showing green, it doesn’t choose the date for me. How do I change the appointment please 🙏🏾

Are you having this problem for Lagos or Abuja?
Because Abuja seem to be working fine, but I think Lagos has a problem with Avits glitch or something.

LaMujer:



Oh, by being jobless, literally.

Continue checking multiple times a day, different times too. They do release dates once in a while. But those dates are for fastest finger.

So, you have to be checking regularly to be able to nick it up, if you see it.

Okay, thanks for the update. I will be doing as you've said. Thanks.

OP come, there's a way-out. Don't let the pessimistic words from the naysayers scare you. "America is not for the faint-hearted" Trump is only yarning dust, he can't do sh!t. Peace✌️🕊️

LaMujer:



Paid, and searching for a before May, date...

How will you be able to get March appointment date? Because on the appointment calendar on the Avits portal, it's not showing March, it's only showing May. It doesn't show backward months.
Please how do you do it? Thanks.

LovedAgain:
I have picked an interview date. How many more chances do I have to reschedule my appointment date:

I think you have two more left. Which month did you pick? And is it Lagos or Abuja
Because it's only showing July, while May and June is not showing any green dot on the calendar dates for Lagos.

datola:


Grammarian, stop wasting time on irrelevance.

The British who own the English language don't dwell on these things

I don't blame you. I blame those who gave you the likes, because they're all fools!!!

Good morning everyone,

Before the new website update I already had my Ds 160 confirmation done, Updated on my appointments confirmation and printed, but there is a need to change my month inlaw travel date and hence the need to fill another Ds 160.. The challenge i have now is to update the new Ds 160 number on the new portal and everytime I chat customer service up none of them understand this process. Please can someone guide me on how to update my new Ds 160 A- number on the new website

If your name is Clinton N. Ukazu and your details are:

port number B01118**3,

Date of birth: 1993/09/2*

And you have recently paid someone to “process” a Canadian visa for you, this is to alert you that your so-called agent is a con artists and has just scammed you.

If it’s you and you need more details, get across.

Birds of a feather, flocks together 🕊️🕊️🕊️

Greetings Nairalanders and all the Japa bosses here

There's this woman who want to take either me or my bro to USA, she is very close to us but not same parents but we are somehow related, so we are thinking ing the dependent Visa route, my elder bro is already 23 years I don't think he is qualified in this category (I might be wrong though) but I will be 20 this year, No University degree yet

But I have some skills already, we don't really know how to start and we are also doubting if anyone of us is qualified regarding our age, this woman earn so well in the US
Please I need some information about this dependent Visa thing
Thanks to anyone who would give me some reasonable information and advice on this

Ummm! Another gigolo in the building... Weldon with your hanky-panky...👏

Firstly; Post a picture of the visa let's ascertain if it is fake or original. Thanks!

@tensazangetsu20
Only God knows how much money this dude has that's making him brag with the high-horse like this... I understand the youthful-exuberance, like seeing money you never dreamt of or expected to see/have in your entire life 😂 💰

Your thread/post is educative kind of; stick to it and stop being childish. T for Thanks!

Please, I need a candid advice and suggestion on which country is best to birth a child..., I have been digging up and trying to make a choice among this three...,Chile, Mexico and Brazil..., which is more preferred...

I need suggestions and advice from experienced persons with insight. Please kindly give valid reason why your choice is preferred along with its Visa Processing Success rate.

Streamline how one can easily process its Visa without using an agent.

I will appreciate valid information.

Thanks!

But regardless of everything, the OP is a very good writer, & he sure knows how to play with words. So, I'm giving him his props👍🤞✌️🙌👏.

2024, never thought I’ll be surfing the net for visa requirements, but hey if I don’t I might be looking for an easy way out (kpia) my budget is 4m naira, I have necessary documents, 2.1 Bsc certificate, virgin port… Europe or any Schengen countries, or Canada , going through the net traveling with Nigeria port looks like calculus

Appy for India visa, they've been giving out visas lately. No hassle!

fluffydec12:


Can he get green card through his step mum that is a black American and still living in America?

Yes, he can . That's if he marries the step mom and continues from where the dad stopped. Then enters the US through the 90days rule. Yeah!

I have been to London a few times and I think it’s pretty okay for a family.

It is cool and devoid of all the GTA drama.

However, when it comes to jobs, I doubt you’d find anything viable there. Cost of living is pretty decent. Just ensure you have a vehicle. There are a few Nigerians moving there. I’ve not heard anything adverse about safety in that axis.

The person I go to meet there got their Townhouse for 600k which is still pretty expensive if you asked me. I’m sure you’d find for the same amount around Cambridge or some parts of Kitchener.


Regarding childcare subsidy? I thought that’s a province wide thing?


London is generally a decent place to live, but it’s like 2 hours to Toronto, which is a red flag for someone like me who has to go to work in GTA and flex a bit. However, if you and your spouse work remotely, then you’re good. But if you are a town boy like me…. Lol. You’ll adjust sha.

Thank so much for your input. I'm really in a dilemma. The town boy part got me laughing hard. Please, more /input is needed. Thanks 🙏

Hello everyone!

I currently live in GTA Ontario, and considering moving from the city I am currently to London Ontario permanently with my family. I would appreciate if I can get people's opinion about living in London Ontario, is it an affordable place for family?, is it affordable to buy a house?, How is the Nigerian community like?, The job market?, The cost of living?, Safety?, Childcare subsidy in the region?

Thanks in advance!

I would appreciate a response from any Nigerian currently in London Ontario

Been won ignore u because the thread is over 3 weeks now but make I just reply you so you fit think.. even if I day do yahoo as you claim, I’d take me atleast 6-7 years to blow up more than 70m that’s me living extravagantly but if i live a frugal life, it would take me atleast 10 years to blow that money suppose I’m spending 7m every year..And that is me doing absolutely nothing wit the money. No business no nothing just spending. i understand the narrative sounds like a typical yahoo boy way day club every weekend and carry Olosho etc but try get sense no be everyone day in that part.. na my greed and reckless trading cause this and lack of proper risk management .. I’m over it now and trying to be a better person everyday.. it’s just a matter of time everything go be in place..

E pain me because I no even live life but lost 80-90% of my net worth due to greed and wanting to have more. e for make sense say I use the money club and lavish then went broke the way you think just like a typical yahoo boy because i understand their lifestyle . in that case I for no even feel am that much.. my brother you have no idea but experience is the best teacher.. probably I just got lucky all my years trading and didn’t really have financial discipline, risk management and was too greedy.. crypto space is wild.. when I think back I realize everything was just my fault.

I for just stop trading when I noticed I was on a loosing streak but instead keep selling properties to revenge trade the market hoping to recover all my losses..

I no day try prove anything to you sha but to enlighten you to come out from ur shallow thinking

There's no need for justification...

So, because of an advice I wrote to you yesterday, that's why you came to attack me at night abi?
I would have known there are a lot of witches and wizards here on Naira-Land!!!
Though is a faceless forum physically, but spiritually, it's not.
Henceforth, I will be very mindful and careful next time. Take care.

H.O.H, I'm very sorry about what I wrote to you yesterday Ooo 🙏 na advise before Ooo. OMG!!!

Good day Nairalanders, last year I made a thread about my confusion relocating abroad or staying back in Nigeria to invest and got different opinions.. https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/7724820/relocate-stay-nigeria-serious-dilemma

Some people advised I stay and some insisted I travel (i wished I started making plans to travel then).The country wasn’t that bad as naira was around 700-800/$ and inflation wasn’t this bad.. And also, I was in a better financial standing with properties worth atleast 70m as of then,

Walk with me.


I have been a crypto trader for 7 years and literally made 90% of my money from crypto which set me up. I bought properties worth millions , my car, one for my mom and settled a few persons and finally got married to my longtime GF. I felt untouchable and didn’t for once think things would take a different turn in my life. However, my life took a drastic turn when I lost my daughter shortly after birth. This devastating event sent me into a downward spiral, affecting my mental health and trading decisions that cost me thousands of dollars including my trading capital.
After I lost my trading capital, I was broke with a grieving wife and put my first property for sale.

Sold the property for 16m by then dollar was already 850 and rapidly growing, I removed some money for house upkeep for months and converted the rest to dollar to continue on my crypto trading since that was my only source of income and my area of specialty.
I was grieving and trading (don’t know if it was my coping mechanism). Traded recklessly at the same time having issues in my family cos my mom made serious issues after we lost our baby, all this while I never knew she hated my wife and her family.. she initially told me not to get married to the girl and her family siting so many spiritual reasons but all fell on a deaf ear because I couldn’t imagine my mom making decisions for me or telling me who I should marry or not.. tension grew in the family and at the same time I was fighting for my finances together with dealing with a wife that just lost a child.. terrible period for me.. I was in between the devil and the deep blue Sea.. things didn’t go as planned with my trading and I ended up blowing up that money., and it downed on me that things are getting really serious and I need to face these challenges squarely.

I got broke again and since I’m a family man, I must always provide for my family so I always have to do something.. I contemplated selling my second property worth 30m for weeks before I finally concluded on selling it since I need money for investment or something to plan the money with. That was when I created that thread debating on traveling or staying back in Nigeria.. investing that money in Nigeria was not feasible and making sense to me considering the inflation as naira was almost hitting 900-100/$.
I didn’t know what business to do that won’t make me throw away my money or waste my time. Crypto was still the only business I was good in so I decided to diverse another means so I won’t loose money. I realized over trading was the problem because I was basically looking for a new project to invest in which most of them turned out to be scam.. so I made research on good projects to invest that money on

I found good projects I was confident on. I had everything already figured out. The plan was to invest that money and not trade till the end of 2024/2025 since I sold the property July 2023. I also vividly how my wife told me to use part of that money to buy other landed properties but I was adamant and felt I got things figured out already.. so I did exactly as I planed and also moved from that house we were living in to a different place and also started to learn tech. Along the line I got discouraged learning tech and felt I was wasting my time instead of looking for ways to make money. I realized it’s quite difficult for some people that have seen millions of naira to start learning a new skill or going to school.. it’s actually one of the hardest things to do. it takes a different kind of motivation and drive to push urself.

I don’t know how it happened but I found myself going back to trading again, I keep dipping my hands in my long term cryoto investments each time I needed capital to trade since it was taking forever for the coin to grow.. (if I had left what i invested, it would’ve been worth $300k by now with the 25m from my property I sold )

It was really a humbling situation for me. I went from having my life figured out to fighting again for my life… All these period my wife was already pregnant again after she got a miscarriage after loosing our first child. So now I’m not just fighting for myself and wife but a child is in the picture now.. things got worse in the new house we moved to as I kept loosing money on money.. I never had any profitable month in the new house.. I usually have eye for good projects to invest in but I began loosing my confidence and ended my selling so many good projects I invested in before they breakthrough.. I’ve had a case of missing out on a project that would’ve giving me $600k just because I sold it too early. Several other projects too. It was a repetition of circles. It seems I was going round in an unending circles.

I ended up selling another property in my new house worth 20m and also my car worth 11m, it happened like magic and.. I can’t really explained how these things happened but it happened too fast like some kind of evil manipulation or some gambling addiction on crypto.. I wasn’t a careless person, I don’t smoke and don’t drink, don’t womanise either.. so many thoughts ran through my mind even about my mom telling me not to marry my wife because she have had so many bad dreams about the girl and her family, she believes my problems started since I married the girl and she warned me.. God also blessed me with a child as my wife put to birth successfully

I asked my self could it be spiritual or physical? I also come from a relatively poor family that im the only grandchild doing well in the whole family from A-z.. my father died years ago.. my wife’s family is a progressive family that her cousins and direct siblings are in America and Canada so how could what my mom is saying be true. Well I never believed in any of those things right from the beginning but seeing the trajectory of my life in a space of 2 years make me begin to wonder

I already believe it to be my recklessness and probably gambling on crypto hoping to hit it big but on the other hand I’m not a newbie in this biz,, I have been grinding in this for atleast 7 years and got experience in this biz, its seems my years of hard work got wiped in a space of a year +

Now I’ve a property left valued at 18m that’s like a lifeline and already decided I won’t invest in crypto but use that money to travel out,, I’m back to learning the tech skill I have been avoiding for years and pushing myself hard everyday. The aim is to use the rest of the year to improve my skill to a significant level and be good at it by next year

This feels like a learning process and at same time a humbling experience for me, I have been without a vehicle for the past 4 months now.. I’ve made so much in life and almost lost everything even at a young age.. life can be very funny, when I had all the money I lost my child, when God finally blessed me with a child, I’m now fighting for my finances with my rent almost due and waiting for my property to be sold before I balance my rent.

I know i probably would’ve started a physical business in the past but looking at the current situation of Nigeria and inflation hitting ath I doubt my business could’ve survived but still this is a lesson of me putting all my eggs in one basket and still thinking Nigeria has any future. If I probably had travelled years ago when things weren’t this bad in Nigeria and I still had lots of resources, I doubt I would be in this situation..

Selling that land feels right now like I’d be starting life afresh with no property to my name… it hurts me so bad I’m even ashamed to explain this to anyone. Only my wife understands the level of damage that has happened in our lives the past 2 years. I can’t even tell my mom details of all of these.

I’m writing this out there so people can learn one or two from it,, I’d be 32 in few months time and I’m picking up myself by learning a tech skill and relocate from the country. I also plan relocating to Abuja first so I can be close to the embassy as regards to visa interviews runs etc I want to dedicate the next 1 year in traveling runs and perfecting a tech skill I can bank on when I travel. My story is quite deeper than this but I’m not a long writer so I just touched the most important part.

I will probably come back here in a year time or 2 years to write my progress in life . Thanks for reading

Lol... This is a story of a Yahoo Boy go broke, so don't come here deceiving people that you were trading cryptocurrency, simply say you dey do Bitcoin work!

But what happened to you na normal thing for street na, why e come dey strange to you like say na one Big thing. You know how many men don sell properties japa enter UK, and other places, or transition into doing something else just to get by and sustain.

Street na turn by turn, no matter the huge amount of money wey you collect, you won't be hot forever. You know wetin dey worry you, but you coming here to deceive people with one fabricated story of you trading cryptocurrency na vex me.

My advice for you na to package, live within your means for now and stop trying to keep up with the jones... Peace ✌️ 🕊️
