Or the new portal? Because I used the new.

Timeline:
I sublimed our application on the 1st of May. During that time, we just continued life like normal, we were prepared for the worst which was a rejection and not the end of the world. On the 13th of June, I got a medical request, I noted I had already submitted that but turns out I couldn’t use the old one since it would expire before I planned to leave the country. So I booked another appointment, I got 14th of July, which was a day over the 30 days. We got no information on my husband, and I won’t lie I was scared.
14th of July I did my medicals with IOM Lagos, it was a long ass day and a hassle honestly, the first time I did it, I used Qlife which was 100% better and faster. My medicals was updated and passed on the 28th of July, and I got a ppr for myself on August 3rd and my husband got his today I am over the moon right now, I just had to share this for those that need the push.
