Hello everyone, I am an applicant of portuguese working visa, I've submitted my application for about a month and a week now but still haven't got any message/call/email from them, my employers over there in portugal called the embassy here and they told them (my empoyers) that my paper were ready two weeks ago.

I called the embassy to know why they haven't called me for collection, all they could tell me was to send my full name and passport number to their email address, which I did but they still never responded to my mails. I called again this week they said once they get anything they'll get back to me, since a month now and some weeks.

What baffles me the most is that my emplyers called them and make reference to my application which they confirmed to them that it was ready a week after I submitted my application but for them to now tell me they haven't gotten anything concerning my application or are they trying to delay the release of my passport so as the days on the visa can start reading while am still in Nigeria doing nothing (should have collected my first salary if'd collected the visa when due) I have a lot responsibilities on me.

If there's anyone who can give me reasons why the situation is like this or who has gone through same experience before to comment below, so myself and other readers can also benefit from it. Thank you for taking your time to read and comment on this thread.

why not go to the Embassy? I think that would be better than E-mails and Calls.

To be moving from lagos to abuja, is not easy, even if I go it'll be the same story they've been telling me

She just told you the truth, you rejected it. Sooner or later, the position you filled would be declared vacant. Spending 50k to Abuja or losing a job that would sustain you, which is easier. The company might already be seeing you as an unserious fellow.
