My suggestion to you is to search for reasonable rates on wakanow.com and thereafter purchase the tickets directly from the airline.

If you can't go to the office of the airline, find out if you can purchase their tickets online.

I applied for SOWP for my wife April 28th 2022 I just got a notification asking my wife to go for her Medicals.

Please how long does it take for passport request after doing Medicals?

Jonaholorun:
It differs, some 2days, 3,5,8,12, i saw 21 days recently but only count from the day the medical is passed.

SoteriaMo:
Passport request!

Backstory: My husband got a job in Canada. He was in US while I was in Nigeria. He submitted both of us application together under his GCKey.

Both applications submitted on January 6, 2022
Husbands application approved March 4, 2022. He didnt need medicals and his application was obviously faster cos of his location.
We thought our applications will be treated from the same office but apparently mine was still transferred to Nairobi.

my SOWP timeline:
Application submitted: January 6th, 2022
Biometrics: January 7th, 2022
Biometrics updated: January 10th, 2022
Medical requested: March 5th, 2022
Medical passed: March 26th, 2022.
BVL: July 25th, 2022
PPR: July 27th, 2022.

Toceen2022:


Yesss. We later figured that out. I think that’s a lesson. We were not well informed about the upfront.
Thank you �.




Congratulations to your family...

Apparently, for your husband to receive PPR on March 4th and you received medical requests on March 5th shows that your application was treated together. They've actually made decision on both applications by then, assuming you did an upfront medical, it would have been PPR same time.

Congratulations once again!

The silence on my appplication was killing me literally so around 15th June I started sending mails and webforms to Nairobi.
I did it every single day for like 3 weeks. I wrote emotional notes and attached my husbands employment letter and pay stubs.
After 2 weeks, they started responding saying they were working on it. I guess i was lucky. I got about 5 or 6 response. like 2 were generic. others told me where my file was and that they are working on it blahblah. I think the webform got more responses than the emails.

After the responses, I stopped sending mails cos they claimed that they wont expedite anyway so i just kept praying and trusting God. BVL came and I was wondering what was going on again, until today! Glory to God.

In my case tho, I didnt need to submit my statement of account. we only used my husbands canadian employment offer letter. Maybe that covered. Honestly, I was worried but God came through.

Indeed, God is good.

I pray for speed for everyone waiting.
