Have you been able to collect it today. Please, give me the contact of the person that helped you. I need mine before wednesday next week]
How do they track it online? I've paid today o. They said I will get it on Tuesday.

Send a dm o. I can't post his contact here. He is in Alausa o. I don't know if he can help if it's another centre.

HEADYWORLD:

adubam:
https://track.immigration.gov.ng/

Thank you. I checked they said pending production!

Toplap:
Bukhety you captured for 32 pages right?

Yes

giselle237:
ah problm. So it will magically come out on Tuesday

He said the person that would bring out my file will collect 5k. Wo, I have given up on this country! My message to you is that, if you need your passport in about 3 months or so, don't go the DIY route! They don't want it to work!

adubam:
Sorry sis. Have you tracked it online to know it status? Don't give anyone money.

How do they track it online? I've paid today o. They said I will get it on Tuesday.

If you need your passport in about 3 months from now, pls don't try DIY.

I captured in Alausa, March 10. Collection date was supposed to be April 14. I went there April 14, no show. I went there again yesterday, May 19, they said it's not ready. The person that said he will help me said I should bring 15k.

They want to frustrate DIY at all cost. If you know you will need your passport next year, and you want to do DIY, pls start the process now or else!

Alexanderuche:
Did you go to the centre to confirm this or u were told ?

I was told bawo?
The procedure is that you drop the slip in the box and they call your name to confirm if it's ready or not.

Alexanderuche:
Please who has collected his or her passport

I captured on the 8th of April
At Alausa
My collection date is on the 9th of May
I'd like to confirm here
Ps: DIY

I captured March 10, Alausa, DIY. As at yesterday, they said it's not ready. Collection date was supposed to be April 14.

Pls is there anyone here who did DIY at alausa and captured from march 10 upwards and has collected their passport?

I did my capturing at alausa, on March 10 and they said it's not available. Tomorrow makes it 2 months.

DIY, Alausa since March 10. I am yet to get a mail that it is ready. I went there on the collection date, April 14, and they said it's not ready! Na wa!

steph6:
please can will capturing occur during the holidays?

yes

Nice one!

I'm just imagining an updated nairaland! It would be nice!

Dr. Steven Akintayo has offered to buy nairaland for 100million! What do you think?

An immigration officer told me today that there is a memo that capturing should be done during public holidays. Unfortunately, I have rescheduled. Pls, do not reschedule if you chose any of those public holiday dates.

Thank you.

Is it still possible for an agent to help one fast track the issuance of a passport after paying online. I had to reschedule my children to June 13 and we are travelling for fall. I'm not sure it can come out b4 then. I just tire!

Gokoyer1401:
.

Pls, quote me if you are going to the University of Florida. Let's connect!

Ock4:
Just got admitted into University at Buffalo PhD program for fall 22(social welfare). COA 45k. Tuition 23k(waived), assistantship 20k, fellowship 8k.

My question is: I saw something about submitting a health background form(download fill etc) I want to know how to go about it - do I print the form and give to a health practitioner to fill? Without showing proof of taking those vaccines(measles and co vaccines)? (Aside Covid-19 cert of course)

- Also as POF I should submit the admission letter right? If yes - the part where the sponsor is meant to sign on the financial form do I leave that blank?

Any other advice please bring it on. Thanks

Congratulations!

Is anyone going to the University of Florida?

meetgaya:
Forget anything now till June

Lol

Pls, help. My children's appointment date was initially May 2, I rescheduled to May 3 because of public holidays, now I'm just seeing that there will be public holidays on May 3 and 4. Pls, who can help me confirm this. There is no more date for May. My only option is to reschedule for June and that is too far.

mojolajesu:
Wow! This is spot on. I sincerely apologize to this community.

I know I have learnt so much and in my little way I have given too. However, my second disappointment really hit me so bad that I am just recovering from it.

Anyways, here is the transcript of my second interview at Abuja

NB: first denial was on Dec 1, 2021
MPOWER Loan funding worth 50k
COA: 45k
Scholarship:3k

Second time, I reduced the Loan to 29k then family funds 16k (reflected on i20)
Had GA also but couldn’t cover for tuition.

VO asked the regular questions of Why are you going to the school, who told you about the school, are you married or engaged, who is sponsoring and all.

After those questions, he paused for a second looked into his system, looked at me again and asked if I have been denied before. I answered yes.

He further asked what has changed. I told him about my finances. The last time I had only the loan funding but this time, my family support came in for my living expenses and the loan for my tuition.

The VO nicely gave me a blue letter.

Well, I didn’t stop there, I pleaded that he tell me what I am not doing right with my application. He was so nice to say “I will advice you work on your Home ties. They are not strong enough.”

I went back to my hotel room battered and shattered.

My advise and what I am working on is to get a full funding before trying again.

I am available to answer questions and clarification about the whole thing.

Thank you.

I'm so sorry to hear this!

mojolajesu:
Hello guys,

Please are there still schools that have applications open where one can still get funding?

Kindly help me reply to this if you have such information

Hi, mojolajesu,

I'm surprised you are asking this question when you never came back to give us feedback as regards your visa interview in Abuja.

Why do we like taking and not giving? Even if it was negative, people could learn.

I was particularly interested in your case cos of the mpower loan application.

I understand people have different ways of reacting to disappointment (I assume this from your question) but then, let's learn to give too!

toluene23:
Yes this is why I am asking on her behalf coz it’s kind of strange to me granting Student Visa on Dropbox schedule. Weird though.
So in a nutshell it’s true.

Then about the emergency appointment, she’s not getting the reply from the embassy as regards that and her school resumption date is Fast approaching , this is why she’s considering to go with Dropbox way if it will fast track this process .


Please Is it right for her to follow the alternate way going for Dropbox
Or she should also give it a try

Drop box is not for first timers

Homemade12:
Please i also need the steps on DIY

It's pretty straight forward. Fill in your details, pay and book an appointment.

saxwise:
Please I'm finding it difficult to print my Guarantor's form after making payment. It's saying invalid parameters for both my reference ID and my Application ID.

Any help?

Check your details properly to be sure it's correct. You can also change the browser in case that's where the error is coming from.

Moshkom:
Publicly, I have.
But feel free to PM or DM, when you’re set. If I can not directly help out because of busy schedules, I would surely refer you to some of my +1 friends. I will be glad if you make me your last option.

Shalom!

I'll sure do thanks!

But come to think of it, no be their papa get nairaland. This space is owned by all, after all we pay seun with our data to stay on it.

But I understand your point sha! Take care!

BunmiBie:
Please, respond to my DM.
God bless

I've done that

Moshkom:
Yeah, very terrible.

Trust me, when I say I have NEVER been outta helping others, never! Never let anyone Mention or PM ‘unread’ all my ‘NL life’.
People that know me off here, can testify. Been here since 2011 or so, and I can say this is even the media that I personally have a low ‘range’ of ‘helping’ others with my honest opinions.

Because I know what it feels like to have no or little idea or know-how about a thing or process, esp the japa path.

The little honest opinions, that we've been sharing here, we kuku know and heard agents and the upcoming ones, have been using it as their own personal contents for a fee/charge off here, we overlooking and keep sharing, just to carry our people (those that can’t afford agent charges and co) along.

We know, people charge guys here ‘ridiculously’ for Sevis fee and co, we no talk; because “na where man dey work; him dey chop”.

Na ‘we’ wey dey give our 2cents, of either you ‘concur’
or easily ignore it If you think it won’t help you, for no fee in our very very busy time and schedules, person
come dey talk say “our mouth dey smell”. Omo! Lol not Lol.�

Sincerely, we can’t even help everyone; make agents chop too (afterall, na legit work. they should just help to do it right for the novices). Lol
and Like, I do say, everybody, would definitely be fine, last last.

Peace!

Pls, don't stop. God will reward you. I was planning on sending dm for a mock interview as soon as I get a date! It is well!

Hello Good afternoon all

Or is it too much traffic?
Let me know if it’s a general thing or from my end.
Thank you.
