Okay so it's testimony time and I think I should also testify on this platform because aside God, all the information I got was through this thread.

I have been following this thread since 2016 and I have read every single comment unfortunately I am not the type that comments.

So I got an internship program in Turkey last year and aside gathering my documents and reading through I have been very afraid about applying from a county that my status is an intern. But to cut the long story short I was encouraged by Austinpee and Osemigho I know they may not remember, so I finally applied and 4 days after I was sent a medical request surprisingly.

Timeline
Submitted application: May9
Medical call: May 12
Medical done:May 14
Medical passed: May 17
Passport request: June 13
Passport submitted: June 17
Updatef to Approved: June 22 with my correspondence letter.
Passport pickup mail: June 22.

· Degree certificate and statement of result from B.Ed Special Education University of Ibadan.
*(NYSC) certificate ·
*WAEC Result
*Internship Letter of Acceptance
* Letter of Explanation from the Organisation stating my internship program, duration passport number etc

* Documents to prove the identity of my siblings ( I included all their certificates of birth and International passports data page)
* Copies of my passport data page and previous visa pages
*Copies of Certificates from where I worked/ volunteered

Note: I did not pay my tuition so my sister sent 7m to my account and stated in her letter that she send that sum as a commitment.
And lastly prayers and fasting cos honestly speaking I was very afraid given that I was applying from another country and given that I did not pay my tuition and my sister's account balance was below 1m.

Don't be discouraged.! Shalom. God can do yours.

Waaawu! Congrats dear.

I read from thread one over 5200 pages and I learnt a lot, my advice to everyone is
• READ, you will gain needed knowledge and more.
• Start early to prepare physically, mentally and financially to avoid rush, believe it or not frank reviewed my SOP last year and I got my admission letter April this year, I’m sure he was wondering Nawa ooo this girl sef.. LOL, I was ready for all and applied 3 weeks after.
• Submit a sincere application with necessary supporting documents backing up everything you say, they won’t waste your time if you’re straight to the point.
• Finally PRAYER… GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS, ITS JUST TIME AND PATIENCE.
With all these things you will succeed… I pray that God will meet you all at the point of your needs. AMEN!!!!

Mighty congrats dear..let me PM u.

If he/she has the paper VFS gave you during your application then its fine, you can then write that your friend with ........ identification number will pick your passport, you sign and send to him/her to print (ensure he/she has the identification). Also send an email to vfs with the same attachment. Incase this doesn't answer your question, call vfs and ask them... thank you.[/quo

Ceecechi thanx darling, I appreciate. Didn't get the part on signing. Where will I sign. Am I to write a letter? And sign or? What attachment email am I sending u mean that i have asked someone to help me pick it up?

Good morning all please can a friend help my pick up my passport at vfs?and how.

cecechi:

It looks like an approval to me since you were requested to do medicals, link your application online and check the status.... as for the courier, if you're in abuja, go to vfs abuja and request courier, they will tell you what to do if not contact vfs lagos through their website and tell them what you want. Goodluck

Okay but the online hasn't been updated. Still say we are processing your application... Eligibility Still running. I don't really understand how it works. I'm in Port Harcourt, I will ask for it to be sent here. Tnx

Nogen:

It could be that your visa hasten approved,why don't you link your application online .

They haven't updated my online account. It's still saying application in progress,we are reviewing ur eligibility ,you passd the medicals.. No new update.thnx

Please guys..got a message from vfs yesterday for passport dispatch applied on the 17 of April asked to go for medicals on the 8 of may passed 16. Sent a case specific email to CIC on the 20th of June
Yesterday, i was sent a dispatch mail from vfs global and vfs Lagos to go pick up my passport...no confirmation email at all till now. Please I'm really confused right now. Who has this happened to and eventually got an approval. Please old and new monikers help a Sister I'm not understanding...how can I also apply for courier as I'm not in Lagos currently.

Prudento:
