Hi everyone, this platform has been of immense help to me; I’ve been studying like I have an exam to write. I had my interview at 10:45am on 11th January, 2018 (Lagos) and it was successful. Please note that this was my first attempt and I’ve not travelled outside Africa before. I went with my burden of proof and a truck load of prayers. I had been watching the guy that interviewed me and was silently praying not to be ushered to him because he was just rejecting everyone....alas! I was directed to this same guy. Here’s my transcript below:
Me: Good morning
VO: Good morning, passport please
Me: Sure (hands over my passport to him)

Me: we’ve not decided yet, but if he’s able to get a visa and time off work he should come
VO: okay, (hands me the white paper) your visa has been approved, you’ll be notified via email and sms on when to pick your passport.
Me: thank you
