I just had a similar experience. What I did:

1. Used a webform to upload the new passport just for records sake
2. Sent both passports (bound them, last page of new one and first page of old one by rubber band)

Got my passport back today with visa expiry to new one

bellakay:


Can anyone share their experience with this please

Thanks for your contribiution.

Turnaround was fast. Passport arrived VFS Abuja on Wed by courier, stamped and received here in PHC today

Ashirioluwa:


You can do the submission by courier instead of traveling to Abuja, and budget about 2 weeks for the turnaround process for passport delivery and return.

Ashirioluwa:


Yes, you can. Send copy of the data page to them through webform, then make an appointment with VFS for passport submission .

Thanks a lot. I was looking out for your comment in particular. Done the webform a few days back and worried if it is okay to submit this peculiar case by courier (I am in PortHarcourt and flights to Abuja where I did biometrics for submission will only be if absolutely necessary).

Does any one have a recent duration for their deliveries as waiting for the new passport has put me in a tight corner?

I thought I replied this... her timeline is same as mine. I have significant travel history and a valid US Visa. She does not have as such (Seychelles, UAE, Singapore) and infact was denied US visa a month before submission in Dec and again in Feb after submission.

First, the testimony to encourage others

My wife andI recently received PPR and BVL for our Visitor Visas
Submission: Jan 21, 2024
Biometrics: Jan 24,2024
PPR& BVL: June 21, 2024

Then, my issue is similar to the solution prescribed.
My passport renewal was just completed a few days ago. Can I still use the webform to upload the new passport AFTER PPR has already been received. Do I then proceed to submit both passports by courier considering they may not even see the webform in days?

Your friend should send a scanned copy of the new passport to IRCC through webform. He or she can do it twice. After that he can send his the new passport to Vfs Lagos (where ever he or she did biometric) through UPS (DHL no longer accept a two way courier). He or she can pay for two way courier.

This Agents who assist others to get US visa interview appointments. Are they for real? And does it not have any effect on the visa application?
Please I need answers

It is a high risk but there have been genuine cases with visa success. If you must use, only engage by direct recommendation of someone who you know (know personally) and has been successful.

No you should not be worried. the rough estimate is 3 weeks and as long as Application received is noted on the CEAC website, that should be fine. I cannot speak to the delivery information but it will be definitely delivered to the address stated at the time of your IW appointment and you will be notified.

My advice - wait till a decision is taken (track via the ceac website), then you can follow up with DHL customer care if there are further delays. Take no action now
