NYSC / Re: My Experience In NYSC Orientation Camp, Iyana Ipaja, Lagos State by nonye6194: 7:23pm On Sep 27, 2022
Hey guys,

I hope you are well?
I know I promised to make updates to this thread. About that I have one good news and one bad news:

Sad news, I don't think that would happen anytime soon cry

Good news, I joined the japa exodus and moved to the United States and it has been a fantastic experience smiley

It's been a rollercoaster of experiences for me since my last post here and I wish I could take time and put them down like when I was serving in 18/19. I am still hopeful because I enjoyed doing this and I have been documenting pictures for whenever I may have the time to do so.

I never forgot y'all and I hope we get to communicate again.

ciao

Congratulations.....please hope u don't mind giving someone encouragement

Why not. I am ready to assist in any way I can. But I prefer to respond to any questions on this thread instead of DMs. If we all did the DM way, others won't benefit like I did from this platform

Transcript
Visa approved 1/06/2022
First attempt
St Louis University, MSc
Full Funding, zero deficit
US Consulate Abuja

I arrived the embassy before 6:30 and waited till we were beckoned by the security for the business of the day. Started with security/documents check and thereafter CGI. At the CGI point the lady sent me back to retake my passport, touts use me shine.

Village people 1 - 0 Me

Got inside and started waiting turns to be interviewed, I noticed there were three windows today conducting interviews; 8 (balded male vo), 9 (female vo) and 10 (younger female vo).

There were alot of white paper issuance I saw today. Green paper too, but minimal.

There was no Korean in sight today so no need to dodge.

Village people 1 - 1 Me


It got to my turn and I went to young lady in window 10 for my interview. Greeted her and gave her my i20 and passport. She started their usual typing and then the following ensued:

Q1 How long have I worked in my current job

A. 1 year and 8 months

Q2 How long have I worked in my previous job

A. 2 years and 1 month

Q3 Do I have a study leave

A. Not yet. This is pending getting my visa approval

Q4 What is my post study plan

A. I intend to return to my current place of work, in a mid level management position. My organization is undergoing a transition phase and this is expected to last 3-5 years during which our operations will expand beyond the western region to a nationwide coverage. This will open up many positions and with my experience and degree, I will be positioned to fill one of these new positions.


Then the magic words came with the white paper.

Village people 1 - 2 Me
(Full time score)

No documents were asked asides passport and i-20. Maintained eye contact all through. Had zero tension, abi anxiety.

*Three weeks ago (yes, three weeks ago) I did not have my i-20, interview date or made any payment for my Visa. applied for EA in Lagos and they bounced me before I switched to Abuja and got a close regular date. I didn't even know my funding will be full till I saw my i-20. And I was expected to be in school before July 5 for start of my summer classes. My DSO was doubtful of my chances cos the timing was too close.

Fast forward to today, I'm checking flights to Midtown St Louis and warming breakfast to serve my employer. Everything happened so fast and I'm yet to process all of these. GOD IS REAL.


Thank you to everyone who responded to questions, contributed and supported others here. Y'all the real MVPs.

It really took a village to make this happen

Good morning guys.

Anyone with a contact for anyone that could assist with my passport that has been stuck in production at Ikoyi Office for the 10th week now.
Need the passport out this week. Thought DIY would be hassle free in Ikoyi, I was wrong. And no, my registration has no NIN issue. Just assist me with a reliable person there.
Kindly dm or quote me if you do. Thank you

Please house, how much / how many weeks does it take to get an international passport in Lagos, and which passport office would you recommend.

Thank you �

Use festac or alausa office.
Even if your best friend works in Ikoyi office, don't go there as you will regret it. I'm in the 9th week since my capture in Ikoyi for a fresh passport and it is still in production.

Those people are funny set of people .
It's a good thing you wrote the letter sha ,beacuse that Facebook page is NIS Servicom page ,it's the customer query page for people to track their passport .

Not everybody has the luxury of going to the passport office everyday ,reason why people use that page .There are some people here whose passport would have been ready a month ago but will still be relying on insider's info.


Can you be kind to share the nis servicom page. There are several variants on Facebook unverified. I have similar issue, 8 weeks after capture in Ikoyi, no communication

Hello guys,

So I did my registration & capture for a fresh passport on the 25th of June at Ikoyi office and I haven't gotten any form of communication from nis or passport office for collection.

Do I need to go there with the number they issued me after capture to know what's the status?

Do they still send SMS about pick up and stuff

it's now 8 weeks and I need the passport for my spring intake application.

Thanks

For those born before Dec 1992, you can get a passport with age declaration without any hassle. Infact most people before then use affidavit of age declaration in Nigeria to confirm date of birth. Our parents and uncles and aunties, most dnt have birth certificates and quite a number have International passport- they got it with affidavit of age declaration


I'm team 94' so affidavit or age declaration won't work for me

Affidavit for Age declaration won’t work. My wife had to get a birth certificate in Alausa for 1k before they could collect her documents for filing. Her age declaration affidavit was turned down. Although a friend did the certificate for us around that Alausa axis.

Thanks so much for clarifying this. Now about the birth certificate she got, I thought attestation is what is given to folks above 18? And where in Alausa did she get this done cos I'm considering going there for it. Lastly, my capture center is Ikoyi, can I get the birth certificate and do the capture thingy in Alausa or I just get the Certificate and head to Ikoyi? Thanks

Hello guys,

So I'm getting a fresh passport and I'm using the DIY method. I just made payment not long ago and it states my interview date is 30th March.

1. I'm guessing this is the capture date right? And can I go to ikoyi before the stated date ?

2. Since I'll still have to go to court after doing affidavit for birth attestation to endorse my grantor's form, can't I do both endorsement and attestation same day ?

I've taken up another challenge: To continue the thread (aka Post-NYSC period) until the moment I landed the first job I accepted. So, dear brethren, this isn't the end of the tori grin. I enjoin you to join me on the final (short) chapter as I take you through my Post NYSC experience which involves more invites, tests, interviews, trials, tribulations and a job.

See you soon wink

A Lannister always keeps his word. But this particular 'Surulere Lannister' is now too busy to keep to his word sad.

Guys, I'm really humbled by the numbers this thread of rants has made. And I'm grateful to everyone that spared time to read my half decent ramblings. Hopefully, time and chance will be kind to let me finish this up for you.

Now the race ahead of the 2023 elections begins. The region the new chairman will emerge from will definitely influence the party's flag bearer for the highest position in the country. The regions nursing presidential ambitions are already meeting and setting strategies using the Edo elections as cover.
