Hello
I went for renewal of my Nigeria passport on December 15th last year at the Nigeria embassy in London and my passport isn't ready.I have tried calling their number but it's not going through. Also tried tracking it on royal mail and it's showing passport not registered.
Please I'm really tired of the wait as I need to use it immediately. I'll be grateful if anyone can suggest how to go about it.

Thanks while I await responses.



For those who are asking, my international passport was delivered today. I completed biometrics on November 3, 2022, in London. The anticipated delivery date was January 4, 2023, according to the date on the acknowledgement copy that was captioned on phone. Give or take any glitch, that means the arrival date will be around one week later.

Please, does anyone have knowledge of passport tracking? I applied in November 2022 and opted for the special delivery envelope option, but I am yet to receive my passport.

Talking about public funds/not public funds, has anyone checked the small print for this £400 energy rebate?

According to NRPF network and I, quote " The Energy Bills Support Scheme is not a 'public fund' for immigration purposes".

But her father didn’t sing the song ni? grin

He was arrested and deported for raping a child. So I wouldn’t shout his name too loud.


My allusion is to one of the most popular British vocalists of her generation, Dame Shirley Veronica Bassey not her father. She also had other James Bond films soundtrack on her list, Moonraker and Diamonds are forever.

By the way, the isolated case of her father's misbehaviour does not invalidate that most Nigerians in UK or abroad are diligent and indefatigable.

Liz Truss was asked today at a hustings event what her favourite song is and she replied soundtrack theme song from the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger.
Can you guess, mates, who sang it? Dame Shirley Bassey!
Her father, Henry bassy was a Nigerian.

Nigerians are making giant strides everywhere we go.

Travelled to this schegen country some weeks ago.
On arrival at the border, the woman kept on staring and scratching my passport like there is eba on the sticker. grin
I later showed her my brp before she later calm down.
It's so annoying

Hello Coder & other members that have gone this route as a student.

please I need your informed opinion.

Filling out my Schengen visa application now and I got stuck in type of visa entry. Is it single, double or multiple entries for a 3-month short-stay visa application? Please note, I am on a tier-4 student visa. Don't want to be denied because I create an impression of a nonserious student and gallivanting by selecting multiple entries. cheesy
Meanwhile, what I am trying to do is to save cost and rigour of visa applications.

Hello sir,
Whaaoo, you created this thread in 2016.
I actually have a plot of land in Odo Ona Kekere also.
How did it go with your findings sir? Did you eventually bought the land sir?

I think my area then was free of government encumbrances.
I bought the land then & sold it before I left Nigeria.

I will suggest to everyone to go and listen to Peter Obi's interviews on Channels television and Arise Tv. Come back and tell me why you will not vote for him

So true but sad.

However, do you know the saddest part? Majority of voters don't have access to all those media you mentioned. So chance of winning the poll is slim.

Way forward?

Electioneering is grassroots! His campaign team should comb all grasses of federation in showcasing Obi's manifestos, in different languages & dialects.

We need a paradigm shift from these other crops of politicians.

Congrats. Please note that the information I shared is 99% accurate for Glasgow (or maybe Scotland). I have never visited London or England and so don’t know if the same applies 100%. I know similar from reading but never been there and don’t know what applies. You might wanna confirm from people who live and stay there.

Blessings

Chreze, what you shared is so similar to the situation in England too. Just nodding my head in affirmation with most of your postulations, even though I stay in Yorkshire.

Just be aware that if you are using HL, your trades should be above £250 (I think) for it to be worth it. I read this from a top stock trader who advised against using it for trades below that amount.

Travelling abroad is very expensive and anyone should be prepared for that . Getting house abroad is equally not easy especially for first timers . So saying people should abort or not either ways if you’re leaving Nigeria be ready to spend and it’s not easy over there.
What do you now want to say about London .

You just want to talk for talking sake, right? You didn't pick a thing from that real-time info? smh! Learn always, pls & be swift to hear and slow to talk. Peace.

VISA ALERT! VISA ALERT!! VISA ALERT !!!

Glory be to God.
Application date: 18th June, 2021 @ Ikeja TLS
Biometric: 21st June
Collection email: 8th September (60 working days)
Collection date: 10th September
No non-straightforward mail nor interview.
Type: Standard

This is mixed feelings of joyfulness & bit indifference. The inexplicable delay was a huge distraction & harrowing. It almost zapped all my energy, lol.

I am grateful to Almighty God.

Point of reference to people still waiting, be strong, don't waver and surely it will come.

VISA ALERT! Long post o

Good morning everyone, been quite busy to pen this down.

Biometrics- july 8(standard) for me and 2 dependants
1st not straightforward mail- july 20th for myself
1st not straightforward mail- july 26th- dependants
2nd not straightforward for 3 of us- August 3rd
3rd not straightforward for myself- August 4th

Then i got a call from the Home office without notification asking if i can go on with an interview, i said yes but call dropped. I was sent a mail 35mins later scheduling me for 9th of August, 2pm. 9th came they didn’t call. Around 3:52, i saw uk missed call on my ALTERNATIVE LINE wch I tried to call back but kept bouncing back.

I sent series of paid mails and called the call centre but all responses were, you will be contacted.

Then i got another call on Friday asking if i am ok to go on with the interview, another yes and this lasted for 1hr 34mins because i gave them full/plenty points on questions asked.

By 18th of August i called and told its still awaiting a decision. I told the lady that its past 15 working days i did biometrics and i want it escalated, i told the person the type of visa i did.

20th, I received a mail from pretoria saying i was under mandatory checks and its still processing.

24th of August my dependants collection mail came wch I collected the following day.
25th, past 5pm mine entered wch I collected on friday.

I declared 4 uk visits refusal, 1 uk visits for myself
3 uk visits refusal for my dependants also.

It took them 32working days before returning my passport with visa. I was really worried, i fasted alot, praised alot(all with a sincere heart o) still prayed to God to give me a strong heart if it will be a refusal but I GIVE HIM ALL THE GLORY COS IT ENDED IN PRAISE.

I left Naija through Qatar Airways on Sunday 29th,(ticket was booked on Thursday after I collected my dependants visa) and on getting to uk border, the C.O asked, who are these beside you, i told him my daughters(1 was almost my height), asked name of my sch,course, duration, and if i have visited before and if i had any immigration problem in the past, I answered all. i was told to step asidewith my dependants for more investigation to be made. I was scared but I kept my calmness, gave my daughter my phone to send msg to her father(he stays in the UK), my sister and my pastor should incase anything comes up. I didn’t press my phone at all. And within 30mins i was released to go.

ONLY GOD’S MERCY!!!

Our visa processes differs, if there is any mistake you might have made and no how to correct it, speak to God, where one can’t reach, HIS MERCY AND FAVOUR will get there.

God will see everyone through. Aamen.

Congrats Angenllaw. You are a source of motivation for other expectants.
