I did my biometrics and submission since 18th of November. On the 19th, I got a letter that it is on its way to IRCC and on 20th got another mail that it had arrived. I just got a mail this evening reminding me of the biometrics, with a past date. What does this mean? I already completed my biometrics. Did anyone else get this message?

10 days

About ₦250 grand.

Luckily now Turkish E visa can now be obtained at €40 provided you have a valid Schengen visa.

I obtained and would be doing 4 days in Turkey and 10 days in Paris/other Schengen area

Let me understand the question.

Reservation was made without payment in order to secure visa

Personal, I submitted 6months instead 3months. Open about '7' Cos I used the account while in New Zealand in September and closing on October ending around 1.9

Just package enough documents to show you well grounded here and you'll return in January

Cost of photocopying alone was over 7,000 naira

Booking.com.

I've been using them every since I started traveling.

I look for any hotel in destination with free cancellation policy, book for visa and then cancel later to now book the one of my choice

What I discovered from my experience in Abuja
1. It is advisable to present virgin passport than given it to someone to stamp for you in Benin ��, Togo �� or Ghana. Once they sight these stamps, wàhálà don start
2. I saw about two fresh applicants with virgin passport who were given visas
3. Ghana stamp is a red flag. All of us that our passport were stamped in Ghana were packed aside without any interviews. Only two applicants that genuinely traveled to Ghana by air were given back their passport without visa.
The rest of us were instructed to contact NIS HQ for our passport.
4. An elderly woman who can not speak any language than her local language (Igbo) was given visa despite no travel experience with virgin passport.
5. We were all interviewed separately by FBI official to authenticate our travel to Ghana as we claimed.
6. My boss and his wife were issued visa and I was not even given any chance of interview. My boss seriously regretted his action of sending my passport to Ghana for stamping cos I warned him to let me present it virgin to try my luck.
7. They need sincerity and if you are going to lie, perfect it well cos they always have their way of finding out. Good luck.

Has anyone experienced refusal and holding on your passport before?
Please, how did you get it back? I've been in NIS HQ Abuja and they said they've not received such.
