@Teau, pls I need your help I tried filling the form online and I had issues with the NIN part. Can I use my Bvn as a NIN.

sorry for the late response,
No you cant use your BVN. also NIN is not required for applicants outside Nigeria.
Go to the Nigerian Embassy website Atlanta to ensure you complete the correct form.

Regards

Guess what people!!!

i received my new Nigerian passport from ATLANTA yesterday.
-biometrics done on the 12th Nov
- new pp received via Express courier on 18th Nov

the secret? God, booking appointment on their website ahead of your visit the embassy, getting all necessary documents and Express courier envelope ready.

Just to share.

Teau:
Thanks to everyone who assisted in providing solution for my request.

The last 1 week has been so busy, i have not had more than 6hours sleep in 72hrs. I lucky got an appointment on the 12th of Nov on the embassy's website (Atlanta) myself on the 10th of Nov, after the contact i got said there was no date
So i had to rush to Atlanta by 11th, got to the embassy another stress... people were so many, some didnt even have appointment they just came trying to struggle in but the man in charge didnt let in anyone without appointments.

I have done my biometrics so i pray it comes out this week. One may not need to have inside contact as long as you do book your appointment online and i advise you do it now because dates opened are in Jan 2021.

Thanks i really appreciate all your help- @toboy

Answering because I had a similar experience.
If your passport is expiring soon then you may need to renew your passport so that you have enough valid timeframe that can contain the work permit (usually 3 years depending on your program).
If your passport expiry pre-dates the work permit, the government will only issue you a permit that is the same expiry date of your passport. You can still get the remainder of the work permit when you get a new passport, however you need to re-apply for it and pay an additional application fee.
During my own time, I just renewed my passport which had roughly one year expiry date at that time. Then I applied for work permit with my new passport and got a 3 years work permit.
I do not not have information about passport renewal in the US. I did my passport renewal at Ottawa.

Noted with thanks.

I'm not sure if i can go into Canada due to the border restrictions with USA though. But i would call the Nigerian Embassy in Ottawa to see how they could be of assistance. I had no idea one can renew passport with more than 6month expiry date, i could have started this a long time ago.

Thanks for the info.

Hi all,
I applied for study permit and i have received a mail requesting for mypassport but in theletter it states that my passport expiry date must cover my study period because permit expiry datewould be the same as my passport expiry date.
My questions;
1. Is this possible? shouldnt it be the expiry date on the program not my passport?
2. if so i need to plan to process my Nigerian passport renewal. I am looking to renew in the USA.

Nigeria has 3 embassies in the US; New York,DC and Atlanta. I want to know which one is currently processing the renewal faster (within 1 week please). PLEASE YOUR RESPONSE IS MUCH APPRECIATED, would it be too much to also ask for someone's contact at the embassy who could be of assistance.

Thank you
