This shouldn't cause any issues. This occurred as a result of your failure to pick up your passport within 90 days of receiving the initial pick-up notification from TLScontact. Go to the immigration office to pick it up.

Ashirioluwa:
You will need to arrange and go there to pick it up. No one can pick it up on your behalf.

SarahKrm2:
Go to the place where your passport is and pick it up

your application is pretty straight forward if you re-apply. reduce the £1200 and in the additional information section you can give a breakdown.
E.g £500- flight.
£200-300- for miscellaneous ( remember it's a 10d visit)
NB: accommodation is already covered by your childhood friend including feeding. He/She can also provide you with her rental agreement/council tax.
Okay I will do that. Thanks

ok, there are so many factors which we dont know.
the 1.8m that is your closing balance, is your acct clean?...ie regular inflow and outflow??

2ndly, your friend that sent you invititation letter, did they include their rent receipts?, is the accomodation suitable enough to accomodate you?. whats the status of the friend inviting you??---the visa officer disregarded everything and homed in on your finances, perhaps sopmething isnt adding up. na only u and the agent know that one..


Lastly, this nigerian behaviour of mental indolence/not willing to understand how anything works, but relaxes and leaves serious matters in the hands of outsider who has no stake, agent gets paid whether or not you succeed...is not a good behaviour, i call it mental laziness.
for a serious and willing person, just reading 5 to 15 pages of this thread is enough to give you the information needed to apply for your own visa youself! , but no, people will run to agent..and when it doesnt work will turn around to say--they dont know what the agent did.

Y'all should wait until you get visas before you book flight. These informations are on the ukvi page.

@joy49101, You can re apply , just work on your document and information.

Is this your first time applying?

dirolad:
if you have closing balance of 1.8m, why did you declared no savings? The 1.8m is not yours or accessible? If you will be provided with accomodations, then accomodations and feeding should be out of your budget. If your income for a month is £390 after monthly expenses, then Travel expense of £1200 is much for you against your income, you can cut it down since you are receiving support. The refusal is based on the £1200 (Personal cost). If ties is the major issue, it will be specific such as assets, Property, dependent or wide family range.

i didnt follow your story, but you may wish to shed more light on the below issues.

did you intend to book a hotel or stay with your friend?
your budget of 1200gbp/550k naira........is not enough, if you factor in flight = accomodation and food = tourist things for 10 days.

if you claimed you wud stay with your friend unto free accomodation (( not really advisable for a decently employed person)...did your freind send his rent slips and invitation letter?.

what was your closing bank balance in the bank statement you submitted?
