Today is my 21st working day. Prophetess is tired

Lol wàhálà ó. God will see us through.

Debbieeeeeee:
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.

So much. They make so much from us.

Debbieeeeeee:
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

Same ó. The next time is 2023 and it will be within their country so no stress.
I have 3 more days to complete the 35 working days

Lexusgs430:
Ensure you get the timings of your ticket right.......

KLM got this weird habit of marketing tickets with weird times........

I'm not using them at all. I'm going with Qatar Airways or British Airways

Jarus:
Has anybody that did their biometrics on 13 Oct or later received their passport? Standard visitors

Tls ikeja October 12th
TWO applications
One passport returned.

[quote author=viktoh12 post=107910682]Yea true
What is quite annoying about this is
Priority still get decision fast so means they can answer ours they just choose not to
[/quote
This is the painful part. Decision has been made, they just choose not to send the passports.

viktoh12:
This is good news tho most times
Means they will contact you soon

Lmao their soon is a lie. I called them 1st of November and they told me a decision has been made since the 29th of October and I'll receive the passport "soon" lol


November 24th, still waiting for the soon to happen

My only consolation in this delay is that I have no deadline to meet or flight to miss ( I'm not buying flight tickets until the passport is in my hand) I just miss my partner.

Jarus:
These guys just messed up my travel plan. I did biometrics on 13 Oct. Today is 31st working day.

My departure flight is this Sunday.

Don't know what to do now sef.

I'm really sorry. I really pray you can still make it.
If not reschedule your flight.

Lexusgs430:
If flying through Paris ORLY, visa is required......

Schipol, no visa is required.......

Not bad.

viktoh12:
Mine ended yesterday so I called this morning and the reply I got was they can’t escalate that home office will contact me if they need something or decision was made. A lot of people I applied with in Abj on same date have gotten so it’s quite ��‍♂️��‍♂️

I'm so sorry about that. Let's see what will happen in the next two days.

Debbieeeeeee:
Just got off the phone with our people. Current processing time is now 30-35 working days. I’m going to rest

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.

God abeg touch the hearts of the people in UKVI to release our passports. Amen .

Lexusgs430:
You don't need a transit visa, if you are not exiting the airport............

Are you sure about this? I've tried to book both klm and air France and a transit visa was required. It simply means you are passing through their borders (airport)

viktoh12:
Please did anybody noted ukvi have stopped the escalation service.

Hmmm probably because they are aware of the delay and can't do shit about. My fifteen days escalation will end tomorrow and nothing has been done.

Appreciation To all Nairalanders,

Finally, the collection mail dropped few hours ago.

Good news shall be our portion in Jesus Name

Awwww congratulations. The wait is over.

viktoh12:
We will all get and not miss our deadlines

Amen

Debbieeeeeee:
You people are cracking me up o. Prophetess hasn’t gotten her passport o. I like the sense of humour despite the delays. It’ll end in praise.

Amen. We have to laugh ó, to avoid hbp. Your prayers have worked for two people already so please Prophetess pray for us.

bros, i am a novice too. When people were talking about making money on crypto and stocks, I just went on my Revolut and started buying shares from reputable companies like microsoft, apple in short, FAANG companies bit by bit. Also, the fact that I can buy stocks with as low as 5 pounds.
From there i moved to Freetrade which is a standard stocks and shares trading platform. I also started watching Sasha Yanshin on youtube who gives good insight to what he is personally doing. For example, I got to know about Lucid from him around Aug this year and bought 200 shares when it was $18, today Lucid is $51.I bought Tesla whenit was $450 and it's now $1156, i only have 4. I wishI had started years back.

As per crypto, I started on Revolut as well, and I was putting few coins in bitcoin and ethereum. Now I have moved to coinbase. I have some money in ethereum, Dogecoin and Shiba. With shiba, I could have become a millionaire if i had bit the bullet and put 2k in it around April. I only bought £60 worth which turned out to worth £1400 in Oct.

***with crypto, you should only put money you can afford to lose.


I think oga Lexus is the OG on this parole.

Good afternoon, can you post the link for the Revolut website or app? Thank you.

viktoh12:
Prophetess prophesy for me too
Your prayers are working marvelously

I've been begging her to pray for me too lol.

UPDATE

biometrics date : 27, september 2021

40th working days today on point.

we shall all get positive response in Jesus Name.

Congratulations

Mzyetty:
Congratulations. Mine took exactly 40 working days too.

By this calculation, I should be expecting my daughter's passport by Dec 6.

Mzyetty:
Congratulations. Mine took exactly 40 working days too.

Ah

viktoh12:
It’s quite unfair but then we don’t know how this people attend to the cases

Yeah.

Reine22:
Please has anyone been able to contact TLS directly? I’ve been told a decision has been made on my application but it shows it is still at DMC when I track it. What do I do in this case?

It has not been sent back to tls. All you can do is wait for the collection mail.

fela1000:
No na, just do it at midnight. I haven’t filled the form before this is my first time but when I got to the place of paying and booking appointments, I saw today Monday Tuesday and Thursday all available but I had to chose a longer date because of my documentations. Kindly check at midnight.

Alright then. Thanks

Jarus:
Tried and able to pull this up.

Yay, this doesn't look promising o. My travel is Sunday this week and decision hasn't be transferred to VAC. Looks like there is still a long way to go.

I did my biometrics on 13 October. Standard 10 year visit visa.

There is still a possibility that it will be returned before the end of the week. Good luck

It's crazy how people that submitted their application in November are already getting their passports back and September and October folks are still waiting. You'd think it will be a first come first serve basis except for priority of course.

cutebear:
Please in recent times, does the UK send refusal letter to your email before you go for your passport pick up?

It's possible. I got my acceptance (brp) letter before the passport collection mail.

Ajoke08:
Good evening everyone, pls will appreciate if anyone can give me information about this.. I submitted my family application (visiting) last week(priority) and also paid for premium lounge but I couldn’t get a closer date for biometric.. My question is , can we walk in before our appointment date to do the biometric?

Yes you can walk in.

Ceesnation:
Hello everyone,

I am heading to Bristol, I have been searching for a flight from lagos to london. I cant seem to get and afforable direct flight o... so I started looking at the ones with stops... then I saw the below statement:

"You need an (airport) transit visa if you are travelling to or from the United Kingdom. If you have a transfer in 2 or more Schengen countries, you may also need a Schengen visa. Check the latest entry requirements for your trip in TravelDoc shortly before departure as the requirements change regularly".

Abeg, does it mean I need a transit visa? if yes how do I get one? My current visa is a dependent visa.

Pls it urgent, before this christmas rush stop me

Why not use the airlines you don't need a transit visa for. Transit is between 40 to 50k and takes two days.
