FSW 2014 applicants from Nigeria - Let's network

[keysgav]

Usually, hospitals give copies of medical examination which you're expected to submit along with your RPRF. This would have served as an evidence for all concerned.
If you have the financial muscle, I would say just do fresh medicals for the people affected and inform AVO immediately. You can even use that to plead for an extension of the two weeks given.
Running from pillar to post might not be the best at this point in time considering that you've come this far in your application.
Also, if you decide to go through the legal means(using am immigration lawyer), the cost of doing that will be far higher than the cost of re-examination.
Just my own input... forumites are free to contribute or suggest something more reasoanble

Hello, my peeps, thanks to all especially the experienced members for making this forum a solution centre.

I URGENTLY need some help from the senior/ experienced members please. Sorry...this is fairly long...but appreciate your time to fully digest - I received my MR early Mar 2015 and completed the medicals for all my family members same month in 2 different clinics in 2 different countries. AVO wrote me this month that 2 of my children's results, one from each clinic, have not been received. On contact with the clinics, the 1st one told me they have sent it and sent me a copy which I forwarde to AVO. Surprisingly, AVO then said they had no evidence of its submission to them and directed me back to the clinic. However, the clinic no longer want to communicate with me as they said that by their agreement with CIC, I should henceforth directed all my communication to CIC. Meanwhile, the 2nd clinic provided their evidence which show 'Visitor' in a section of the form. On this, CIC said that it should be 'Permanent Resident' but the clinic said that when they search the system they did not my child's name and only able to put her record under 'Visitor' and they this could not be changed. Now, neither of these 2 issues with the 2 clinics is my fault or under my control in any way but I am surprised that AVO wants me to deal with the clinics (who are not willing to talk to me) and not them dealing directly since they have much better leverage and the clinics are supposed to working for them. They gave 2 weeks to resolve (now remaining only 4 working days!!!) or else they will close my application for non-compliance. Any counsel that will help get me back on track will be well appreciated. God bless you as you share your thought.

Meanwhile my timeline (which have not been able to put on the spreadsheet - Admin help pls!) as follows

Application recvd - 12 June 2014
PER - 8 Oct 2014
MR/ RPRF - early March 2015

Hi guys, I just found this on another thread,

Situation very urgent!!!
Dear friends,
I shedule my medical exam for two weeks, but suddenly my bank called me to tell me that my statement of proof of funds is false!!! My VO asked them few days ago to check the statement and they determined as above. I picked up the agency to help me around the whole application (among other things, with the proof of funds) and I did not have any problems with them untill now (they are well known in my country). What to do now, if something is even possible to do? The layer from the agency is convincing me that we will react only if VO contact me in the future (with looking for the explanation of the whole situation and asking to send another valid statement), but I am not sure that this is going to happen...Should I contact them immediately with the explanation and with the new statement and try to save the whole process? Pls, help me with your advices, I am desperate!!!! Cry

For all those yet to advance to PPR, be aware that AVO can confirm your proof of funds at any time from your bank and if it is fake, your bank will not shield you. The cry above highlights the fact that POF is a very serious issue and can be reconfirmed at any time until visa is issued. It is an integral part of background checks.

For those who have spent out of your POF, please go and make it up now and leave the funds intact with your bank until you get your visa. The most acceptable form of POF is money in a bank account with 3 to 6 motnhs account statement or fixed deposit. This is what AVO has been known to largely accept. It will not be funny to get a request to provide a recent POF now and then you come running to the forum looking for advice and pretending to be desperate. At that point, we may ignore you.

A word is enough for the wise please, TGIF.

True talk, everybody should beware and be prepared

The best thing to do as a matter of urgency is to have the 2 family members reexamined and scan copies of their medical report to AVO. In my opinion this is cheaper than the cost of hiring a lawyer, looking at the fact that their report might not be ready within these 4 days remaining you can ask AVO for extension.

I concur with other forumites. Quickly institute another medical examination, urgently. D medical report is all AVO wants. D clinics dont hv anything to loose. You can also request for extension for AVO. God's grace.

Hi, I've just replied your PM. Fast track the issuance of your new passport and inform your review officer about the theft of the old one by email. Attach a copy of the police report, all will be well.

Hello House,

Please, I need a bit of clarification on POF. When I submitted my application in August 2014, I had double the amount of POF required for a family of four. I however enrolled for my masters in the UK and I have used part of the money to pay my school fees and other incidentals. I however still maintain the required POF but lower than the fund I quoted at the time of submission.

My question is, will AVO expect me to maintain the amount I filled on the form at the time of submission or is it okay to just maintain the required POF?.

I look forward to your response as usual. Thanks

As long as you have enough POF for your family size no issue.

Hello Admins,

Kindly help update the spreadsheet. Konga has received PPR and is still showing Medical. I guess Antbanks, Onenigeria and Tiger have also received their passports and are still on PPR list.

My dear fellow forum members, kindly lets update our timelines or forward same to the admins to do in our behalf so that the spreadsheet can be updated and all times. Thank you.

May God bless our plans and grant us all our heart desires!
