Good evening all. I finally collected my stamped passport. Application submitted: March 22, 2023 Biometric request: March 23, 2023 Biometric done: March 24, 2023 BVL: June 28, 2023 PPR: July 5, 2023 Passport submission to UPS: Thur July 6, 2023 PP received by VFS Lagos: Mon July 10, 2023 PP dispatched from Lagos: Mon July 10, 2023 PP received by CVAC Abuja OC and to be sent to CVAC Abuja OC: Tue July 11, 2023 I was confused at this point π π«€ because why are you receiving and saying you will send to yourself again then I just assumed they made a mistake in the message. It was not a mistake π’ π πͺ Within this period, I checked the application tracker, saw visa number even though my background check was in progress. PP received by CVAC Abuja OC and in transit to IRCC office Abuja OC: Thur July 13, 2023 I started becoming jittery at this point because of my other upcoming trip. Plus the people that submitted same day with me and a day after me had gotten msgs that their PP had left IRCC after stamping. Checked my status and it was still saying background check in progressπ PP received by IRCC: Thur July 20, 2023 So PP was in transit within Abuja for 1 whole week. The PP must have been tired of trekking π PP received by CVAC Abuja CVO: Mon July 24, 2023 I checked my status on the portal and the application tracker. Application tracker was still saying 'in progress' because background check was in progress. Portal was updated to background completed, but no info on passport being stamped. I decided to chat VFS on Wed morning July 26. Chatted with Chiamaka, she confirmed that PP was in transit to Lagos VFS. I kept stressing how urgent it was because of my planned trip and it was already almost 3 weeks after submission. I was practically pleading that I can pick it up from anywhere... she insisted I will pick it up in lagos VFS office. 2 mins after our chat, collection mail in Lagos dropped π π π VFS passport tracker was still showing 'in transit' till I collected the passport. I just checked the application tracker now (fri 28 July), and the status says 'closed'. It was updated July 26, the day lagos collection mail dropped. The portal overall status still says 'submitted'. Other info: I used the new link for application. I had US visa. I applied as a tourist. DrPrincess: 7 Likes 1 Share |

Also, has anyone requested back your unstamped passport from IRCC? What was your experience? How did you go about it? How long did it take to receive it? Any ideas are welcome please. If this has been posted here before, kindly refer me please. I have an upcoming trip, and I want to collect my passport and re-submit after the trip. |

Has anyone had this situation in which you received PPR, but background verification is still in progress. You submitted passport, but background verification still progress. I received PPR on the 5th of July, and Lagos VFS acknowledged passport receipt on Monday 10th which is like 2 weeks ago. It is still with IRCC and the status on the application tracker still shows 'in progress'. I'm just wandering the reason for delay in passport stamping. Could this background verification be the reason? But why would they request PPR when background verification is not yet completed. I have an upcoming trip to another country and I need this passport back.

Did you pay courier return fee to VFS to deliver your passport to your lagos address? Since you sent it directly to Abuja office, they won't send it to Lagos office. FatherFigure: |

mymy2015:Yh they have 2 conflicting info on their site. The second says they fly singleton pregnancy up to 36th week. That's the one they really follow. So u can fly them up until u r 35w+6days(with only ur doctor's fit to fly), bt once u hit 36w (for a single baby preggy), u'l have to fill their medif n get approval from them a few days b4 u fly. Delta does not have restrictions on flying pregnant women. I flew them last time at 36weeks. |

My POE experience - long post alert I came in through Houston using Emirates. I travelled at 35 weeks n showed them my fit to fly in Lagos during check-in, also showed d air hostess on d plane cos they requested to see it. I travelled with my active toddler, n I guess I 'survived' the trip, lol. Used airport stroller up to a point during d connection at dubai. One head hostess came to meet myself n another preggy during d flight from dubai to houston, n started telling us that we shld have in mind that they usually send pregnant women back, that she had had to return with some of the preg women in d recent past, bla bla bla (preparing ur mind for the worst something), lol, I told her I wasn't returning with her as I had all d necessary document. At houston, the queue was not so long and I fortunately got sent to a guy/man that was just opening his booth so I was d first person to meet him. Man: which country's citizen are you (after I drop passports with him) Me: i'm Nigerian n my baby is American Man: what are you here for Me: to birth my second baby Man: how did u pay for previous birth (referring to my first baby) Me: I paid with cash Man: so u ddnt use medicaid Me: not at all Man: do u have d receipts Me: yes (n brot out all receipts) Man: (checks through) are u staying with family Me: no, i'm using a concierge coy that provide accommodation n other services to pregnant women Man: where does ur hubby work Me: told him n explained what he does, also mentioned that he will be coming to join us later, n then my baby was just saying 'daddy daddy' Man: asked me abt d food I brot (cos I ddnt tick d veg part as I was nt so sure what to pick cos I had veg but it was dried). He asked me abt the flavor of Maggi I brot, told him I cldnt rem bt it's not chicken flavor. He sha wrote 'A' on my form n said he will send me to agric to be sure He then goes ahead to advice me that immigration is becoming stricter n I shld make sure I don't take any medicaid or allow anyone to take on our behalf if not I won't be getting any access to the country again cos I might be banned. I said OK. He then calls his colleague to take us to Agric. Stayed a while in Agric cos some1 had to get our bags n he took a long time to locate it. The bags were scanned n d one with the food item was opened n checked but nothing was seized. They kept asking for indomie, lol, mayb cos of my baby, dunno, but I ddnt take indomie along. That's how I ws told to go n d guy that got our bags helped me wheel the luggage all the way out. Just as I was getting picked up I checked my passport n discovered that it wasn't stamped. Oh no. I have to go n check that website to see that this entry record exists. Thank God all went well. Now waiting for baby. 18 Likes |

Cuteaidomo:All what u mentioned still fall under d same class of visa which is B2. I think it's when u r totally changing d class (e.g from B to F visa) that dropbox won't apply. So go ahead with ur dropbox renewal n choose your B2. I applied for a B1 visa in 2014, was issued B1/B2, I renewed this year, applied for B2 (medical) thru dropbox and was issued B1/B2. 2 Likes |

Hello, ur question/writeup is not really clear. But from d little I understood (ie u won't use d visa until after ur son turns 1, n u wld use it for d purpose it ws issued), nothing stops u from applying for ur son when he's 1yr, u can use ur visa as it wld still b valid. Again were u asked if u were pregnant(or if u wld seek medical attention)? N what ws ur ans? That might determine what future visa intv question u wld b asked. Like u said, u can't use the visa for birth, bt u can use it for the purpose it was issued after your birth, this shldnt pose a problem. Will u still be a student by then? I ddnt really get the student part, bt just state ur status as it is whenever u renew d visa. munah123457: |

Giving all thanks to God. My visa (gotten for a course n used for d course in 2014 n for childbirth in 2015) expired April 2016. I renewed via dropbox and got it back in a week. So happy I ddnt have to attend an interview. I'm really thankful. I applied for B2 medical now, and put Dr's details as contact. 6 Likes |

semilore12: Sorry for d denial, bt I think saying 'I don't know' pisses most VO off. He was given a paper at d denial, which had d reason (though generic), ofcourse I don't think they expect him to know d exact reason since he cldnt have read d VO's mind. Bt a beta ans cld have been 'he ws denied ... yrs ago based on section... which shows that he ddnt have ties home. However, he has been working for these num of years with a business(or include anytin he feels is a tie and emphasize y he needs to return to Nigeria)'. (I replaced I with He). Going forward, I think d lady can re-apply alone, thinking tru all d tins that cld b a tie for her. She can include these as a statement in d comment part of d form too. Bt if asked y she was denied, shldnt say 'I don't know'. Plan ahead and carry all evidences along. Her husband can try to apply after she has gotten her visa. Good luck to her 4 Likes |
