Hello

Go to the website https://portal.immigration.gov.ng/ and apply online for it, I paid $106 when I did mine. Click on apply for passport renewal and follow the directions from there. It pretty easy to apply.

Now after application is where the hassle begins. I applied for mine in March and went for biometrics in September (they take a lot of time to schedule you for an appointment)

What I will advise you to do is if you are patient enough, after you apply online send an email to them asking them to schedule you for your biometrics and wait for a response or otherwise you can go to the embassy in London without an appointment and stay on the queue (it attracts an extra fee of £100I think) and they/they may not answer you that day. I saw alot of people do it.

The good thing is after your biometrics it takes just 2 weeks for the passport to be ready (well for mine sha).

Goodluck. Start with the application online first.

Hi, thanks for this information. I would like to clarify if it is compulsory to send an email requesting for an appointment or one would be placed in the queue automatically after applying. We’ve applied for my wife about a month ago but we didn’t send any email thinking it was automatic.

Hello everyone.

Please I need your help on an issue here.

Background Story.

BRP expires 11th November, 2021. But due to an extension request for project submission, project submission was extended to sometime in December.

Now the challenge is, Coventry Uni has changed student status to part-time from fulltime and we do not know what to do about not overstaying.

Because as it stands now, we cannot apply for the PSW as course is yet to be completed and yet do not know what steps to take to ensure that we continue to remain in the country legally.

We have sent several mails and visited the school but no sensible solution have been proffered. Everyone keeps acting like this is a novel case.

So please my people, has anyone experienced this or know someone who had and what was the workable solution. What does someone do when the visa expires but course is yet to be completed?

Abeg I would need all the input I can get.

Thanks in advance.

Justwise, lagosismyhome, Aprokodaugther and all the other seniors please your inputs are welcome.

Apply online and print out all required documents, if you need your passport before early-mid next year then pay for fast track, basically you buy £120 worth of postal order plus application fees. I was there a week a go or so, went there without waiting for appointment and spoke to embassy staff who told me point blank that if i need that passport anytime soon that i should pay for fast track and i did that and got the passport few days later.

Prepare yourself for a long day there, the two halls were full and over flowing.

I can imagine the probability of other NLenders' were also there without knowing it was you

First off, I would suggest you consulted an immigration consultant ASAP if your university immigration unit cannot advise you of any options.
You should have applied for an extension to your student visa long before now. I would have thought that would have been one of the options the university immigration unit would have informed you of as I know of people who have been in a somewhat similar situation and have been notified of that route.

OK... Thanks but na say money no dey like that for consultant

Can't you contact your UNI International services team for advice? Usually, you get additional 4 months after your study for situations like this. You need to do something fast.

I would have advised you to go back home and submit your dissertation online and later apply for PSW. However, based on the new rule, you cannot apply from outside the UK.Please try not to overstay as that will stop you from getting psw.

How did it get to the point of requesting for an extension?

I wonder why it was left this late. Immigration consultant will charge so much once they hear of the short time remaining That might be the only option now though.

Long story but the work was assumed poorly done. So extension was sought and granted. But the catch was we didn't realise that extension would be for a longer period past the visa validity.

The school then change the status to part-time from fulltime.

The truth is that they have not been forthcoming with any worthy advice. They said to apply for exceptional assurance and the links provided spoke of the lockdown period.

do this as soon as possible!

send a mail to home office telling them you would like extension on your visa as you won’t be able to leave as a result of COVID 19. They usually extend for three months! Many guys have done this that were your in your situation and have used the opportunity to get their PSW.

Tobexin:
If you’re in the UK
You are expected to take all reasonable steps to leave the UK where it is possible to do so or apply to regularise your stay in the UK. You are allowed to access Visa and Immigration services as these are considered an essential public service. You must follow current COVID-19 rules for where you live, in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

If you intend to leave the UK to return to a country or territory but have not been able to do so and you have a visa, leave or ‘exceptional assurance’ that expires before 30 November 2021 you may request additional time to stay, known as ‘exceptional assurance’.

There may also be exceptional cases where you may be unable to return to a country or territory listed as green where that nation has closed their borders or where quarantine facilities are temporarily over-subscribed in which cases you may also request ‘exceptional assurance’.

Please submit your request for an ‘exceptional assurance’ by emailing cihassuranceteam@homeoffice.gov.uk with the following details:

full name
date of birth
nationality
Home Office, GWF or any other reference number
type of visa
expiry date of visa
reason for request
evidence of flight or evidence showing reason you can’t leave
The subject header of your email should read “Request for an assurance”..

What COVID will stop him from leaving the UK? This excuse would have worked during travel restriction but hardly will this cut it now

Thanks would do that now... Didn't think it was possible going by the times but would do it now. Thanks again.

I was thinking the same. There is no more travel restrictions. Maybe testing positive to Covid.

Bro the picture is still not clear and i know this is frustrating but to get to a solution you need to give people a clearer picture of the case.

I suggest you contact the UKIV to apply for extension before your visa expires, if the extension from the school is a written one then attach it.

Use the link the school sent you and forget the mention of lockdown, add additional paper explaining your situation.

Doing that will help you remain legally in the UK during the processing of your application and at the same time you will be able to finish the project.

Only if that affected his ability to finish the project on time hence the need for extension

many excuses bro! People are granted this every day. No one I know has been rejected. It is better for him to try and be rejected than not to try.
