Soft42k: Good morning to you all, i received a refusal letter this morning. I'm not pleased with the decision. I want to reapply immediately i get back my passport. Sorry about this refusal but I’ll say wait for 6 months before reapplying and make sure you address these issues raised by the visa officer. |

They charge so much for nothing , no embassy takes as high as they do for visa fees. The revenue they make from visa applications from Nigerians is enough to always auto fast track our applications. They now took away admin review and appeal rights to make people always reapply. |

gistbite: Oh. I'm going to stock up food for two more weeks. I'll probably be in Nigeria till the second week of December. It's been 32 working days for me now. So either this week or next week. My consolation is that after this application I won’t be applying to them until the next two years. So they’re free to misbehave as they please but they should return my passport by their 30-35 working days timeframe |

MadameW: Wow, just imagine. I called them at midnight concerning my husband's application. I mentioned that 15 days had elapsed and all she told me was that a decision has been made and he'll be contacted soon for his passport. I hope they contact you “soon” because they can be funny. How long has your husbands been ? |

I think the difficult part is getting to the application file, once they get to it, a decision is made and visa issued and dispatched almost immediately. Going by the timeline of a friend who had Biometrics done 24/9 got passport outside Lagos 17/11 , visa was issued 15/11. He didn’t bother calling or doing anything he just waited it out |

Ashirioluwa: My sister went to Access bank today to get her bank statement for UK visa but the bank officer only gave her paper with code and password.
They said embassy will use the code to open her account to verify her statement.
Please is this true because I am hearing this for the first time It is true. You can do it on the bank app yourself , for GTBank I do that. |

gistbite: I was shocked when I went for collection on the 2nd of November and I didn't see hers. Our passports were literally placed in the same pack when we went for biometrics. She’s literally tied to yours so I wonder the oversight of leaving her passport out. When all this is over , even this thread will rest. |

gistbite: Amen. I know it's long especially with a two year old toddler, it's just the fear of the visa application time taking so long again. If I see a better deal with British Airways, I'll take it. I'm just hoping we get her passport this week so we can book the tickets. Transit visa is very fast with the France embassy. 2 working days max you have your passport back. I hope you get her passport back this week but these people are funny, how will they release yours without hers. |

I pray you receive it this week. It must be even harder for you that is used to a quick process, this is my first experience. I really hope I do, so I can rest from tracking passport. I won’t really tell them off this time because all my renewals over many years have been 14/15 days exactly and not even up to 15 working days, if this one is taking time then they are really under immense pressure. |

She just told me she submits passport photos , intl passport, ticket , invitation letter , statement of account , filed form , appt confirmation, photocopy of Uk visa page and passport biodata page(coloured). She also just said there’s a checklist on the application form and also one checklist on the side of the form where it’s written official use only . I have a valid USA visa so I haven’t required a transit visa but I got this information from my sister. |

Even online Google is not up to 61k
I have a domiciliary dollar account and dollar card maybe I will fund it.
But if I can pay with my GTB master card it would be better because of buying black market dollar lol
Thx very much You can also find someone who uses GTBank , use the persons card and give the Naira equivalent |

Gentlesoul3268: I paid for prime time charges in Naira for 4 people.but for what I saw on onando rate of $185CAD is under 60,500 naira .
My concerns now is that why my GTB master card can't go is showing declined Oanda / XE are used by officers to convert your proof of funds. Banks don’t use Oanda to give rates. Create a virtual card to pay for your application or get someone else’s GTBank card to pay |
