[/quote][quote author=Namae post=86191466]Thank you Afelouz, she did just that and will be submitting by early February.
This thread seems a bit dull, so let me share my application submissiom experiences.
Who knows, it may be of importance to prospective applicants.

At the embassy, we were about 8 when I got there.
I saw a guy sent back with all his documents. I can't tell what his offence was, but I overheard someone say "why e no upload them"?

Then another was called in.
He walked in without any document but came out with a parcel of documents.
I don't know if it was his visa he came to pick or something.

Then another and another.

To get firsthand aproko and have a good view of where the guys who receive applications sat, I walked to the Mopol and asked if I could open and lick my TomTom because I had a cold, he looked at me like didn't you see the instruction at the gate that foods are not allowed in here?
I kukuma respected myself and sat in the settee facing the application area.

Mission accomplished but it was of no much use as I could only hear their voices and not see so much.

Then it got to my turn,
I went in.
Met the guy who receives applications who asked in an obviously fake Portuguese accent if I had uploaded all my documents. I answered in the affirmative.
He then asked for my package.
I handed them over.
NOTE: he gave a verrrrrrrrrrry detailed glance at my super flat tummy before he offered me a seat.

(I didn't see him minute anything on my file) but I saw the other guy writing something on the application of the lady who had just left before I came in.
So maybe they write after you have left now?

He used like a barcode scanner to scan my application and it populated my details, he scanned through and that was about it.
He returned my employment letter, promotion letter and my birth certificate.
He then told me the process could take as long as 21 working days and I will be contacted via email.

Now here is the enlightening part.

While I was there.
The other guy called in a couple. Husband was principal applicant but dude was asking why the wife did not have her payslips and all too.
He even asked for a letter from their kids school
He made a fuss about this and the madam's letter

I'm not a visa officer sha, but those couples looked like the tourist type..the husband wasn't having any of that and explained to the guy that the embassy website did not indicate those requirements and that he had visited several countries with his family and not once have they been asked of this by anyone and had always gotten his visa.
He said he stuck to the requirements on the site and got all.
He also said he is the primary applicant..that he explained that in the cover letter.
The guy seemed to mellow down after learning that the man wasn't a rookie in taking his family around for a good time.

Like I read here, the naija guys there are soooooooooo unwelcoming, they make everything appear difficult and are outrightly repugnant.
BUT it does help to point out some facts to them when they get overzealous.

Please don't go like a coward.
Or go like someone who is being helped.
Go like someone who has no care in the world but to make themselves happy.
It works wonders.


NB. I travelled alone
Hubby could not come with me due to work engagement.
The guy didn't even ask of him.
The guy who attended to me is a beardganger.
He seems like the better of the two devils, try to get him to attend to you if you can.

If I remember anything, I'd share.

I don't know why you guys here say that hustle in Japan is difficult, but a source in Japan said once u enter Japan u are safe, that u can get a job easily and within some months u get resident permit.. But getting visa is the problem. So guys dont b discouraged, most of the guys here are students they don't know what's up in d street. My friend entered last month with visiting visa and his working now in a factory, working on my own visa presently will update u guys when I'm on there. Much love, we go survive
