I tracked my application and got a status stating that my processed application is ready for collection from 16th October 2019 but haven't received a message from vfs. Can I proceed for collection without the message?

Thanks to whoever posted those emails here, it really worked like magic. I applied for student permit in Lagos, it clocked 8 weeks last week, so I sent them an email on Friday, yesterday I received notification email that my passport is ready. Today I picked up my passport with study permit visa till 2022. I am a PhD applicant.

Thank you guys.

Your case is special and should have been attended to if you sent a mail to the addresses given.

Please let me advise at this point that you don't need to send an email to the email addresses given if your application is less than 1 month with VFS. If it is less than a month, then they will stop looking at our emails because there has been no delays up until that point. This is generally for everybody.

But for you Hillbankz, you do have a case. Application since June 28 is unacceptable.

Compose a nice email, not one of those arrogant mails we like to compose in Nigeria (not saying you in particular do that), and send to the Director General. In the mail, explain your situation and request for assistance in finalizing the process.

I had to do the same for my wife's relative visa and I was assisted immediately (applied on 14th of June at VFS, sent mail on 3rd October to the DG, got VFS mail on 4th of October).

Also, once you send a single nice email, relax and let them do their magic. No need sending mails everyday or every hour to the email addresses provided (again, not saying this is you but some people do). Doing such will only frustrate them and they may switch on auto spam for your mails.

Cheers and all the best.

Can I please have the email address?

Really sucks how South African embassy finds it so convenient holding on to applications for tourist visa for months. I think it's best we protest. We can't continue keeping mute and allow them continue with this substandard act. We paid for the visa, so it's our right. My people wake up!!!

slickruler:
What exactly do you want to protest for? That they are vetting who comes into their country or what? You Paid for visa application not for visa to enter. Can you talk of protest in the US embassy LOL

Strongmercy123:
I just got my passport, they didn’t give me� this is the forth time�I feel really bad

Strongmercy123:
I have tried uk twice, South Africa 4times, I’m confused . I don’t know what to think again. Now I’m scared to travel to Dubai for holiday.. could it be spiritual? Has anyone here gone through this too? Pls I need advice and what to do.

There is really NOTHING funny about what you said and your comparison of the US embassy is absurd. It takes max 1min for you to know your fate at the US embassy. Although protest is not the way to go but holding on to peoples passport endlessly for months is totally wrong but you wouldnt know this cos an average Nigerian is desperate and would rather wait no matter how long it takes for the visa to be ready. There was a time they issue visas in 3days max. What has changed? Why these unnecessary delays? And this statement of yours "You Paid for visa application not for visa to enter" really shows how you think. That statement is completely flawed.

Restricted:


I know that feeling. You feel drained and exhausted. You are a fighter bro. DONT allow the devil. YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE. Take a break, go out for fresh air. Clear your mind (1 month, 2 months) doesnt matter. Re-strategize and try one more time. Just one more time. The Lord is your strength bro.

This thread isn’t as lively is it used to. What’s happening?

Do you have a corporate job?

What was your account turnover when you did your statement?
What was your account balance?
Was it you alone or family?
Did you do single or multiple?
Did you use a host or you used hotel reservation?
Did you get an introduction letter/ invitation from your host?
Did you state that you've been denied before? How quickly did you reapply?
Did any factor or employment/financial situation change before reapplying?
Did you do a airline reservation that expired within 24hours?
