People of God.. since 27th of August..... infact let me just go and rest my head small..

Visa! Visa! Visa!

TheGuyFromHR:


Try the 5.48 quid gentle reminder.
My friend did that and they returned his passport the next working day - his visa had been issued about a week earlier, and had been ready and perhaps the embassy people had just been overwhelmed.

Please how do I go about it?

iloveutd:
Pls anybody that did interview 25th of August gotten any feedback

Or those that have done second interview on phone from 15th September have you gotten visa or gotten any update ?

The delay is just annoyingly crazy

Wait you’re 25th and haven’t gotten? Sigh it is well...

Shegmoon:
It's getting crazy... Biometric and interview since 27th at TLC VI..... I'm really boiling now...

I had to go to TLC Ikeja today because ahn ahn. Since what’s the problem gan gan. They said no problem that we’ll receive mail. It is well

cdaniel:
Also did mine on 26th at ikeja TLS, got a non straightforward email on 10th Sept and that was all till date. Did you receive a non straightforward email too?.

No I did not

LagosismyHome:


If your dependent visa is out then that means yours is out....because your case would have been done before then. I wonder where on the chain it is stuck .

Sigh. Thank you! Will keep refreshing

yemology:
I did my biometric 26 of August at ikeja Lagos.
Nothing yet I tracked it and still showing stage 3 . please is there anyone experiencing this .

Same with me, I’m the main applicant but my dependents already picked up their passport with Visa since last week. I don’t even know if we should go ahead and book flight or wait till I see my own. The wait is tiring
