Hello @Ruth1212 I recently went for my TB test @ St Nicholas hospital and the result showed some Kind of bacteria in my lungs so I was advised to do a sputum culture and sputum AFB test for 3 consecutive days which I finished yesterday but will have to wait 9 weeks for the result. I seriously doubt I have TB because I passed my Canada IRCC Medicals just few months ago without issues.

Is it possible I book another TB test at Q-Life despite having done one at St Nicholas and awaiting the results of the Sputum Test.

Who has used Ethiopian airways recently? There's a technical stop at Geneva (1hr+). Do you need a transit visa in this case?

Dear my Seniors,

Pls advise us on this challenge.

MA is my wife and we are about to apply for visa. We both went for TB test at IOM today. I was cleared of the test but my was wasn't because she had surgery at a tender age of pneumonia.

Doc said she has to do sputum test for 3 days and the result won't be out until 10 weeks! and deadline for sch resumption is February 20th.

I told the doc that if she has TB, will I not have been infected with our children for the 9 years we have been dwelling together. She said that's the clinic rules.

Pls advice!!!

There is oo. If your passport isn’t from Ikoyi office in Lagos, nobody will give you visa!!! I advise you only capture there and if you’ve paid already and selected another location, you should abandon it!! If your passport is out, destroy it and reapply from Ikoyi office.

Winkky:
Please who knows the reason why a passport is stuck at UP for weeks. I had same capturing date with my daughter but she captured two days before me because I have NIN issue. My passport is ready for collection but they said my daughter’s own is UP, since two weeks ago. They still said same thing today. It appears they want to frustrate us DYIers.
Who knows what UP means I beg? It’s Alausa office

Kindly meet with the PCO and you will get her passport that same day

Good evening house,

Please I need your advice

I need a passport to process an application, the deadline for this application is February,
I got the information very late and I don't have passport, I want to apply for passport on Monday,

1, can I meet up this deadline If I apply on Monday?

2 ,Please where is the best place to apply to meet up the deadline?, I am in lagos

3, DIY or fast track, which is my best bet?

4, what documents do I really need? I already have local govt ID, national ID / drivers lincense.

kelmicheal:


I know u want to give hopes to DIY applicants but it's not possible to get your passport quickly as a DIY applicants in that alausa center where money talks.

That center is for fast tracking I'm talking with experience

Boscodee:


Okay then, I think i have hope for November then

Anyone to help fastrack?

yvy1:


On the day I captured (July 29), I was told to bring ₦20k to fast track it to 2 weeks as they were still printing February booklets . I told them that I would think about it. Almost 3 months after, they can't find my file in the capturing room. They are telling me to come back in a week's time to see if they have found the file and that if I need it urgently,as they are currently producing May booklets, we can have a discussion.

Does that not imply payment?

okeysoninv:
diy, is risky, they can open temporary file for you.

yvy1:
ASABA!!!!

Went the DIY route. Paid last year but didn't capture till July this year. Went there this morning to check on the status only to be told NRF (NO RECORDS FOUND). They are telling me to check back in a week's time to see if they can find the record. And that by the way, they are still producing for May so if I need it urgently.....

These people sha want me to part with money before they find my file and produce passport for me.

I don't mind the wait but how can they misplace my file?

Please does anyone have any idea of how I can tackle this issue? What's the use of doing DIY if they are going to blackmail someone into parting with money?

kumulus:



Where did you do it? An enrollment center??

kumulus:



Hello Chief, please this NIN validation, can it be done at the immigration office because I have been at it at the enrollment centers for a while now without success, it’s apparent the agents had turned the whole thing to a cash cow they don’t intend to stop milking. The NIN is the only reason I haven’t made payment for the renewal. I need to get it done and out of the way cos I need the document by February.

Also I would appreciate if anyone reading this knows which of the stations in the Southwest where I can get the passport within two months.

temitopteas:
Team DIY. @Alauasa Passport Office.
My capture date is 3rd of November. Is it okay to open file next week Thursday

sbjtunde:
If you captured at Alausa passport office July downwards, kindly go and pickup your passport as it's ready for collection according to immigration officers over there. They are having issues with the SMS platform therefore you might not get any message from them.

I am DIY applicant. I applied for passport February 24, 2022. Upon getting to servicom room, I was told that my NIN didn't match. So, I couldn't proceed to capturing. I summoned courage and told myself that I wouldn't give up. I began making enquiry on how to do change of DOB on my NIN. However, I got to know that I needed to pay 15k to remitta and do modification. After I was done with that. I sent my application forward to NIMC Akure. I waited for few weeks hoping that my NIN would drop, but no show. I got frustrated with the whole thing until one of NIN staff told me that if I really wanted the NIN to drop, I needed to do Fast track. Well, what would I do? I was able to cough out 20k for NIN fast track. Within 3weeks, my NIN dropped.
I went straight to NIS Akure to proceed to my application. Within few days I reschedule my appointment date and I was captured July 29, 2022.
To God be the glory. I collected my passport today. I got to immigration office in Akure around 9:11am and I collected my passport around 11:03am

Captured on 29/07/2022
Collected on 4/10/2022.
Many thanks to everyone on this space that rendered assistance. I owe you guys alot.
May God bless us in search of greener pastures.

Zyzman:
Omo if you want to DIY just know that lagos passport centers are booked till January

megaxart:


Sent you an Email

Solanaa:



But bro, I don't have the original documents with me. It's faraway in another state. What do I do? or is there no other way out?

Must I provide original docs?

megaxart:


Please could you give me your person's contact?

megaxart:
Typically I'd rather wait but at this point my passport has been in production since 9 weeks after capture now and I need it before late October so I'm looking for alternatives.

If any of you know any contact that can fast track in Alausa after capture please let me know.

Justbesure:

To the best of my knowledge NIM validation after being acted upon is within 48 hours.
Validation is free, in my own case, the woman that attended to me in their Branch office asked me to go the head office or send my details to someone there to help me do it or if I don't have anyone I should buy card for her to help me send the details to her contact in head office to validate it for me, of which I agreed that should send it. I gave her #500 for recharge card and was very happy and the validation was successful after just two days
