If you are still in Nigeria, renew your passport there no matter how much it costs you, and get a 10 year one too.

DO NOT, repeat NOT come to the UK with a passport close to expiry with the hope of fellowshipping in Northumberland Avenue.

Kai, baba, that ship don sail since last year oh. Thank you for your response boss.

I meant that was not my experience; I went about 3 months before my appointment and I was in and out under 2 hours. I paid $106 then, paid $110 for my LO in Dec.

So when did you get it, same day? And you just followed the instructions on the NigeriaHC website ba?

According to most people's post on NL, renewing in the UK can be stressful and time consuming even though that's my experience when renewing.
At the moment, getting appointments is uncertain though. Trying to renew my LO's Naija passport but haven't gotten an appointment for biometrics yet; they said that they would contact us with an appointment date when we applied last December.

Kai, na wa oh, please how much does it cost? And the biodata is only done in London ba? I am having serious concern about all these news oh.

UPDATED POST

Hello everyone, I hope that you are fine even during these unprecedented times. I wish to inquire about renewing my Nigerian Passport in the UK which will expire by July later this year. Without mincing words, getting first-hand information online for this has been very daunting. I will be grateful if anyone could provide his/her Passport renewing experience. I know that there is an ongoing restriction all over the UK, but I want to make plans for next month and I hope that I can renew the passport 6 months before it expires without stress. I look forward to reading from you all. Thank you for your time and esteemed consideration.

I would say 2 years only because the full impact of covid on the job market is not fully known. 2 years gives it enough time to stabilise and recover

Hello @LagosismyHome, I sent you a new email notification. I got yours but I just could not gain access to the previous email so I had to change it. Please get back to me at your convenience. Many thanks. Cheers.

Dear XXXXXXX

Please be advised that a decision was made on your visa application today. Your documents and visa decision will now be returned by commercial courier to the visa application centre where you applied (unless you paid for the courier fee in which case it will be returned directly to you). This can take a few days and be subject to unforeseen delays so please wait for the visa application centre to advise you when your documents and decision are ready for collection.


Regards,
UKVI Pretoria

2:34 pm, got a collection mail. Left everything I was doing to Etiebet grin grin grin.

N.B Priority Visa.

I pray for everyone trust and believing that very soon U'll laughs last. Men..... The waiting is something else it is draining.



Congratulations boss. More wins in Jesus' name. Amen.

What is going on in VI na? I got this same message around the same time with a friend who did his biometric in Ikeja. Till now, my app is still showing AT DMC. A friend of mine said that he also experienced the same thing last year and that he had to go to VI without a collection email and then he discovered that his visa was ready. Do we have anyone currently in the same shoe?

Yes, you can write a cover letter but I can't guarantee that it will fix the issue. If you're doing self-upload, just upload it before you go, no need to take it to your appointment.

The error was on my Course end date oh. Instead of 30 Sept 2021 I inputed 30 Sept 2020. I don't know how it happened. I inputed the correct data for IHS and I went through the app but I did not noticed it.

Hello everyone,

I need help urgently. I completed my application and I am currently on the 6th step (FURTHER ACTION or something). I noticed a mistake on the form for one of the dates. Instead of September 2021, I inputed September 2020. I can no longer edit the form and I saw that to change ANY, I will need to CANCEL the first one and RESUBMIT another application.

Please house, what should I do? I have not been redirected to TLS. I have read many pages of this topic but I did see anyone who has been in my shoes before. I hope I am safe?

I am still waiting for an urgent answer. I saw somewhere that I can write a cover letter and take it with me to the appointment. Please if you have experienced such, kindly share your valuable experience.

Miami University and it’s MS. I haven’t heard from them though, I should follow up if I don’t get a mail from them in 2-3days.

My friend also told me some schools are rescinding funding for undeciding students, and I am only glad I accepted mine on time grin

Please follow up as appropriate. It's nice to know that you accepted the funding before now. I wish you the best as we move forward.

What is the name of your own school? MS or PhD - I think this COVID-19 thing was the reason why schools may be sending I-20 via email. An also, If there are some who has not made up their mind concerning multiple offers, please do so. Some schools are revoking funding for undeciding students oh.
