Thank you.

This is what i mean. See attachment. There's long stay join family, there's join family. Rather confusing.

Thank you for responding. Yes, i'm familiar with the steps and all. The issue is booking appointment. It provides two options similar to the category i need: Long Stay Join Family and Join Family. It says that there are no slots for long stay but i see slots for join family. i'm wondering what the difference is between the two and if anyone is encountering issues booking an appointment with VFS. their customer care and mail are saying two different things.

Hi, please refer to the below. The embassy uses a Visa Application Center (VAC) provider called VFS.

Hello, please i'm trying to apply to join my husband in Ireland. He is a critical skill permit holder. I'm trying to apply from the Abuja Visa office but on their application page, it have two options: Join family and Long stay join family. No slots available for the long stay join family. Please is there a difference between the two because Lagos office has only Join family displayed on their page? The customer care isn't helpful. they said there are no slots but couldn't tell me if there was a difference. I sent an email, the response on the mail is different. The mail said i should use microsoft browser and it's working but it's not. I keep sending them a mail and response is same. please i need help thank you.
