Thanks for sharing. Please could you give an update on your experience at the embassy tomorrow? I'm planning to come from outside Lagos so I need information on time and requirements please. I opted for delivery since I'm out of Lagos but my travel date is close and coming over to pick it up seems like my best bet. Would appreciate your update.
God bless.

dcutey, Yes I did. I feel like maybe the only allow a month to completely be exhausted before the open another month. The date son July were greyed out and I wanted to choose a specific date in July cos my Mum would be in Abuja that period.
Please does anyone have application checklist from TLS so we can make sure we have everything there before she gets there. I appreciate


The way it works, each day extends the month For example tomorrow the 13th would add an extra day

Thank you

I did my bio on the 5th of May. After I sensed the delay (now passed more than 15 working days) and after making calls to UK (charged 20pounds) to which I was told by the customer agent that a decision was made on the 23rd of May, I was advised to go to the consulate @ Walter Carringhton VI on further inquiry at the application center Ikeja. I did that last Monday and I collected my passport.

The consulate office I was referring to is at Walter Carringhton VI not the application center.

Good luck.

Quite correct! same thing happened to me. I had to go to the consulate office in Victoria Island. Just be sure to go there with your collection slip from TLS.

I went there to make a complaint and was suprised when my passport and visa was given to me. I couldnt get the chance to ask or challenge the reason why my passport wasnt returned to the application center because there were so many people the officer had to attend to. Please if you are able to ask if the volume of people arent much, Kindly ask for some explanation if there is...or if it was just sheer human error.

The 15 working days is only advisory. As much as the home office will try to reach a decision within 15 days. Sometimes due to nature of the application there may be some delays. The 15 working days actually start counting the day you submit your document at TLS. If you have not received the decision email after 15 days, then you need to contact home office at their website for visa query.
