Dannylng:
Please how much did you pay for the open work permit at vfs including biometrics?

Edoblakky:
The application is a joint one. I didn't have to do for my daughters as both of them are Americans. My wife already did medicals in February this year.

Edoblakky:
I just checked for my wife and son on cic website and saw an update requesting for my 4 year old son to undergo Medicals.
Is this the norm or are they confused?

Ruth222:
Wow! I don't know if a 4 year old should do Medicals. But if they are asking for it , I think you should do that asap so that your application won't be delayed oo.

@Jdenn congrats it's getting closer and closer

Good morning everyone. This thread is so mindblowing, having to see how long several people have waited and still waiting. It's just really unfair that we all have to wait for several weeks/months for a Nigerian applicant while Ghana is just 8weeks and several other countries. Nigeria has the highest number of weeks for processing time. So heartbreaking.

Gymme:
Passport requested.

Hey guys, i have been following this thread since it was formed. This is my husband Timeline


1/11/16: submitted paper route

19/11/16: medical mail, there was a mix up as he already did upfront medical, VFS sent him a mail that his passport was ready for collection, we thought it was a refusal, but alas it was for him to go for medicals, he called the clinic and they had not sent his medical, so they sent it and gave him a copy of his e-medical which he attached to his passport and took back to VFS

9/12/16: tracked via vfs and said ready to pick

13/12/17: collected my visa at vfs Abuja, visa was approved on the 7/12/16

I thank God.

Edoblakky:
I always had this feeling that paper application was faster than online because no embassy will like to hold your passport for more than 3 months.
I actually did paper application for my study permit and it was approved within 2 months. I've applied for my wife and she insisted it be done via online and since June till now we're yet to hear from CIC. I am really pissed with CIC.

Congrats to Adagody!

Adagody:
Hi everyone, I stumbled on this forum 2 days ago when I tracked my application and on cic website, it said 'final decision not started' but vfs said my passport was ready for collection. I was confused and scared and started checking online to see if that was normal. Thank God today I collected and my sowp was approved.

Hello Everyone!
haha, I have found others o... my wife's application is also on the waiting list, she applied online in August with upfront medicals. From other people's post on this forum, I have hope and would stop checking her profile everyday.
