So far, the NDLEA is the most efficient Federal law enforcement agency in Nigeria today.

Standardguy:
Please how long does it take the fund managers to pay/distribute dividend on Mutual fund after the end of the quarter?

It varies by FM's.

Usually a couple of days into the month following the completion of a quarter: January, April, July & October.

For example, FBNQ and I think, SIAML both made their Q3 payments on 5th October.

Thank you chief. I can trust your opinion for reality check.

Thanks for your feedback.
Is this a site or an email??

It's an email.

Another option is to use this link: NVC Public Inquiry Form.
Fill in all your details appropriately & patiently wait for their response.

The NVC suspended telephone inquiry earlier this year.

Why not just request for your CSCS stocks statement?

Send an email to contact@cscs.ng with either your CSCS CHN or A/C number.

You'll be charged N538 for the service.

Thanks for the reminder.

It happened in June, 2014.

Over 9 years of data got wiped out. All effort at recovery only yielded partial success as about 5 months' data remained irrecoverable.

How Corrupt Immigration Officers Extort Nigerian Passport Seekers Despite the Launch of Digital Portal

According to The NIS, the official price for a 64-page Nigerian passport with a 10-year validity period is N70,000, a 64-page passport with five years validity costs N35,000 and a 32-page passport with a five-year validity period costs N25,000. The cost is even lower in some States such as Sokoto, Zamfara and Kebbi where a 32-page 5-year validity passport goes for N15,000.

However, The ICIR findings show that some applicants pay between N40,000 and N60,000 for a 32-page passport with five years of validity instead of N25,000. Some pay between N70,000 - N140,000 for a 64-page passport with a 5-year validity while some pay as much as N200,000 to obtain a 64-page passport with 10 years of validity.

How long did it take for USCIS to approve I-130? We’ve been waiting since September 2021. Anyone with information please advise. Our lawyers are being told that the delay is from Lagos backlog

Processing time differs by application category & the Service Centre chosen.

Perhaps, if you share these details, someone here can help with a more concise response.

For your convenience, you can check through the links below:
1. Track USCIS Application Here
2. Check USCIS Processing Times Here

And yes, the advice given by uchetobi is apt. Your application is still quite fresh.

Any latest interview information as per F4

F4
Total allocation (Oct. 2021 - Sept. 2022): "65,000, plus any numbers not required by first three preferences. (F1, F2 & F3)"

By logic, if this allocation has been fulfilled for a fiscal year, why do you think NVC will want to issue more immigrant visas when the USCIS have stopped giving GCs?

There are guys here, same F4 with PDs of Jan. 2007 & Feb. 2007, and they've all been interviewed & successfully emigrated.

Is your PD in late February or between 1st - 21st March 2007?
If that's the case, there's a probability you didn't make the cut for this fiscal year.

If your PD is anytime earlier than 1st March 2007, then I'll ask you to escalate as your mates don collect visa tey tey.

You can wait till September - October ending. I'm hopeful you'll be amongst the first applicants on the interview line.

All the best.

Category is f11
Priority date is march 2016

- Category: F11.

- Current PD on the Sept. 2022 VB: 1-Dec-2014.

- Please wait. Maybe for about 2 years.

- If you get married within that period, you'll migrate to F3 which is even a longer queue (VB: 22-Nov-2008).

- Let's be on the look out for any movement when the Oct. 2022 VB is released.

- In the meantime, just keep enjoying life and taking things one-step-at-a-time.

Yeah. Only God knows how many 60 or 90 days letter one would receive when your PD eventually becomes current.

Here's a good way to look at it:
- This FY is apparently for clearing the backlogs caused by the pandemic of 2020 & 2021.

- I believe there's not much backlog for F4 category going into the new year.

- I'm hopeful the process will pick up fast come October.

Let's keep the hope alive bro.
