Guys, how long does it take embassy to legalize documents both here in Nigeria and for those that did theirs in korea through friends? I have submitted since tuesday(10am) and the lady at the reception promised to call when it's ready. I haven't seen any alert from her till now. Even though she said it would take tentatively two days processing time. Today is the third day already and it's delaying my process. Also, how long does it take to pay school fees from Nigeria and receive admission package from korea? Is there any option to expedite this service and probably pay through tuition for it. Please help to clarify guys.
I think the best bank u should use is diamond bank. Don't try to use ecobank because they will waste your time. Ecobank sells 300 naira per dollar but diamond bank is 283 or 284 depending on thier biding that day. U cannot expedite the process, i will advice u do it on time and not wait till dieing minutes. It will take one week and above to get your admission package from South korea. From what i have gathered and i think it also depends on the school. Apply to a school who has good communication relationship with their clients so that u can always relate to them when u have any challenge. Daehan University is the best in communication. https://m.facebook.com/dtuenglishprogram/
Thats their Facebook chat link and they always reply. Don't forget that they are 8 hours ahead if us, so chat with them accordingly. PLEASE i hope i did not offend.

Thanks bro. I'm considering asking an aunt to pay for me in the states and i'll credit her naira account here. Would it be a faster process than using the banks? Cc acadollar,don milky,puritymypride,vknonkwo and every other person with knowledge about this suggestion

Definitely it will be faster but at what rate will ur anty sell dollar for u? She will want to use the black market rate for u because that is what the dollar would have amount to supposing she brought it home. But if she is kind enough to give u at the official rate, then u are good to go and it will be faster.

It's not a bad idea, however I think diamond bank can still do it for u, in five working days the school will receive credit.

I was able to speak with a korean administrative staff that called me to come pick up my documents. I used the opportunity to confirm about visa processing times and she said minimum of ten business days but it actually differs depending on the case of various applicants because of clarification of bank statement and other processes but i think they're efficient persons. Aside from vfs that isn't reliable. And mind you i went to pick up my documents myself because i stated it was urgent in an e-mail i sent to them about meeting up with a deadline. She's a good person as she even called me with her personal number. Those bad belle security men for gate even stopped me and told me they were on break that i should return in 2hours time after explaining to them about my plight. I just called her and she came to attend to me personally. For now, that's all i can say.

I can't just call her like that except it's an urgent or pressing issue. You can add useful supporting documents. Have you applied for your visa?
