NIGERIA APPLICANT PLEASE LET US NETWORK.

[Naija Pikin]

My pple i am about to submit the update documents requested by accra, but i have a few concerns here. They asked for originals of my employment documents, but pple in the service of Lagos state will agree with that those documents are often requested for by the state govt during staff audit programs, which comes up from time to time. What will be my fate if this comes up while my documents are still with accra. Should i rather send only the letter of identification and job description which i collected for this update purpose. I have included original letters of promotion and payslips in the package. Will this suffice.

I also want to know if i have to remove my late husband name from the additional family history, because they asked me to fill another one.

Kindly respond to this post as a matter of urgency as i have decided to send it by courier tomorrow instead of waiting till next week when i will be able to go and submit it by hand. I dont want this imminient strike to clamp me down. God bless you all. Naija go survive o.

Toluwanile, I have sent you a PM

Toluwanile like earlier suggested original is original and not photocopy so i suggest you send what they request for. I also advise you read between the lines of the request very well because it seems what they want is original reference letters not necessarily appointment letter.

My brother, PA RIGHT

I submitted my full doc to Accra almost the same time as you. My UCI number was sent from CIO and not Accra.
Document update may be requested when the time between full doc submission and decision by VO is more than 12months

I am yet to hear from Accra. I received a similar response from Accra in july 2011 and Dec 2011.

@OOW4CHRIST thank u very much. I've informed accra of my husband's death and will include his death cert.

@Pa naija pikin and babadee thanks for your pms. They were quite useful.

@Tinuadebola Thank u my sister, but i don't intend to send photocopies. By the tone of their letter, i also think they are actually asking for original references, but since opinion diffes on d matter, i think i will send my original employment letters alongside some other doc.
Big thank you to everybody.

Lukeke babe...oh Sorry momo Lukeke...Thank you so much for the information. Am too sure they would not ask for document update hence they gave me UCI number ;D ;D ;D I am a child of God na.

The document update, as I was told was when some documents were not attached as at the time of full docs submission. Some of my frenz that were asked to update actually did not submit one thing or the opther. Of course I shall be on look out for their next email. Thanks dearie.

PA Right don't the next stage na PPR ;D ;D MR waved ;D
from what i read i guess tins will pick up for you soon.

For those that original documents were requested please and please send them the original while you make a copy for yourself.
on the day you will be going to pick your visa they will give them back to you.
i was asked to submit same document and all were sent back to me including my original bank statement.
if the strike holds in Nigeria please inform us so we can join ;D

Good peoples...Happy New Year o!

Hello House, I just got a mail from Accra requesting for original letters of employment from my current employer and all past employers from the ten years preeceding the date of my application. The issue is, they are asking for original copies and they specifically stated that I must not send notarised copies....this is scary but I have no choice. Thank you all. Accra is working.

[tr][td]

If this is all they asked you for additional document then you should be happy and quickly send the original, nothing scary. the earlier you send, the earlier you get you MR. ALLDAHBEST.

 

[omobaba]

My own pieces of advice: 1.) If they actually requested for original employment documents, then don't send photocopies. 2.) You may look for where u can make photocopy in Colour for your keep, while you submit the originals. If there is any Audit (there may not be any until you are through with Accra), you may present the coloured photocopies. If they query you, then you can explain to them. Meanwhile, if the colour photocopies are done very well and laminated well, nobody may know they are photocopies. 3.) Concerning your late hubby, you will need to inform Accra about it with all the necessary evidence (like death cert, etc); and then remove his name from the form accordingly. I hope I've tried. Other forum members please, respond.

[tr][td]

Tulowanile hope you are doing great ma, the advise OOW4CHRIST gave you is more like that of a consultant, I think it is the right advise. Regards.

 

[ladapo4luv]

[Toluwanile]
