Good day house, please i dont know if anyone has had my experience before.

I applied for France visiting visa through VFS in February 2018, but was denied with the excuse that "my intention was not justified". Though, i wanted to visit France and South Africa for my vacation then, so i only went South Africa.

After, i came back fro S.A, i reapplied for the France visa again, now with the inclusion of my leave letter from my office, since im still within my 6 weeks leave period.

This time again, when i went for the collection of my passport, i was again denied, but the strange thing was that my passport was not returned to VFS, rather a note that my passport will be returned to the IMMIGRATION SERVICE.

From March till date, im yet to get the passport from the immigration, both in lagos and abuja.

There's no way you can make enquiry from the embassy because you won't be allowed in but just to call a phone line at the gate, and the only answer they do give is to check at the immigration office, if not there that means is still under processing.

Please, what are they processing for almost 5 months now. Infact my UK visa got expired on the passport.

Anybody with such experience? and pls advise on the way forward.

Will really appreciate house.

You need the service of a lawyer to write them and a clause to sue them in respect to the expiration of your uk visa

Have you made enquiries at the Nigerian immigration office, to see if your passport was ever reported/returned to them?

Yes, i have been to immigration office, ikeja severally and also made enquiry at Abuja, but not reported/returned.

I suggest you get a lawyer to write to them and maybe copy the police and immigration. They should at least show evidence they've posted it to immigration

DisGuy:

Sorry, not visa , stamped entry/exit permit

You know, at one point in time, we all have where we get it wrong, it was the handiwork of the travel agent then.

It wasn't visa, but entry/exit permit, but that was in 2016, after which i had travelled to dubai and south africa as earlier stated, i also have uk visa that got expired in may.

That was a signal to your problem here.
You need to go to the HQ in Abuja.
