I sent message to them from the contact form on the website that I need my passport cos if my traveling date is fast approaching

That’s the response

If one should cancel the application.
Is it gonna take long to get back the passport? Because I think once the passport is at Abuja if they cancel the application to send back the passport should not take long. Please anyone who’s cancel his visa application before should please assist here as I don’t mind to loose the visa fee etc because really this is getting too much.

It takes 15 working days to cancel an application so you probably won't get your passport before your travel date. I still believe your passport will get to you before your travel date; it's over 30 days already right?

It’s actually 33 working days today biometric date was 12 oct

Same as daughter's application. I know it's hard but just be patient. There's literally nothing that can be done right now.
I believe your passport will be returned either tomorrow or within next week.
