Hello House
Visa granted.
Applied March 21, 2024
Received passport via courier April 24, 2024

Congratulations Boss!
I’m so happy for you. And once again, thanks for the previous information.

Did you do any new thing from your first time apart from additional documents?

STOP APPEALING JSV DENIAL>>>>>> STOP APPEALING< STOP STOP STP!!!!!

Why?

MadeMan01:


The appeal has to be sent where you submitted at VFS. You will be charged for appeal at VFS
That is why I re-applied as the money called for me was almost same as new application.
And VFS are not straight forward. You can send someone there and they will ask for something not with the person.
I actually sent someone there, they asked for original Refusal letter with the Embassy stamp that was with me in Lagos. I had attached copy of the refusal letter with my appeal docs to a friend in Abuja. I was pissed. it is not mentioned anywhere on their website. I just cancelled my appeal and re-applied. I was lucky Abuja VFS portal opened in first week of February for JSV when I got my refusal.

Oh thank you.
They just replied my mail this morning that I'll submit the appeal at vfs Abuja or Lagos.
I'll go myself.

MadeMan01:


Oh. That was an error on your part. It's was too early to ask. The website and other forums says it's between 30-90 days to get a decision. Some people may be lucky to get in less.

They will send your passport to you by DHL with a reason for refusal letter in Portuguese inside. Look at the letter and note which box is ticked or marked, then translate on Google translator to know exact reason

Good day boss.
Do you have an idea if someone can submit my appeal letter and other supporting documents on my behalf at the embassy?

I have been sending mails to the consulate, they are not responding.

Fia fia
Those ferry are good and have safety vest which is given to every passenger and it's mandatory to wear them before boarding.

DO NOT use a speed boat or canoe because these waters could get very turbulent waves sometimes.

Thanks boss
Exactly what the guys working there told me that we shouldn't attempt using speed boat.

It was a smooth sail and the life vest was almost new too.

kingreign:


😆 Hope you enjoyed the trip and you took pictures of the beautiful water sceneries?

I didn’t take pictures my boss.

This was it the ticked part.

It was really a big error on my part.
What’s the link to apply for for appointment?
If I apply again, do you think this present refusal won’t affect future applications?

MadeMan01:


Hello bro,
Sorry for the refusal. Do t give up. Re-apply.

In my case I tried to appeal but VFS told me I would pay appeal fees which was almost equal to new application, so I did not appeal again. Luckily for me the day February 6 2024, I got my refusal, VFS Abuja portal was open, I was able to book again against March 21 ,2024 so I have enough time to gather extra support documents and also, i wanted to reapply in Lagos to avoid spending air fare and hotel Costa to Abuja. However from that Feb 6 till date , I have not heard of VFS open for appointment in Lagos or Abuja. So I ended up travelling again to Abuja on March 20, did VFS application on March 21 and returned to Lagos on March 21. This week is the third week since I applied, so I am optimistic. My first refusal came in 6 days from application, today is 18 days from my second application.

I noticed when I first applied,most of the people attending to clients were new trainees. I knew because they kept moving them from desk to desk and I over heard a supervisor telling them that one someone will come and train them in another room and some of the girls at the desk said, " Thank God" , meaning they were not ready in confidence on what they were expected to do. What annoyed was that the experienced lady who attended to me first time removed some of my docs like past UK, France and Portugal visas and said its nit necessary, that Portugal embassy has my records . I also think my letter my not have been good enough.
In my second application, nothing was removed, the woman who attended to me did not remove anything.

Check your PCC , if it is not expired, reapply if you can get appointment, but VFS now has become something else to get appointment date. I was lucky I booked the Abuja date for appointment as I was thinking if I get Lagos date, I will ignore the Abuja appointment, but I have not been able to get Lagos appointment. Even someone who was willing to exchange or sell her appointment to me, VFS said appointment was not transferable, so I went to Abuja. I am hoping for the best

Thanks for the detailed response.
In my own case, I think I was the cause of the refusal due to my impatience.

I submitted my documents at the vfs March, 25th, so since I didn’t hear from them since that day, I sent them a mail yesterday evening, and in less than an hr, I got a rejection mail.

It came as shock to me as to why they will review my documents and supporting documents in less than an hr.

I just want to know the status of my visa application and not the decision.

They just sent a mail in less than an hr.

How am I going to get the passport back? Will they send it to the vfs or what?

And again, all my documents were completed. Even add a lot of extra documents. I’m confused on what to give them again.

MadeMan01:


Thank you for the advise.
Yes I am appealing the decision and including everything I have. I was given 15 days to appeal I will send in my appeal before Thursday

Boss please reply

And you hold laptop and 350k wey person give you to buy gadgets (according to her). I was just angry when reading the feeble, she is not a serious person.

You sef reason am?
Very careless gender.
2k bolt fare will save her from what happened.
At least even if the driver is a criminal, it will be a single person against her.
You are with all those valuables and you are risking your life..with the security situation in the city.
