I hope someone replies this on time.

I don’t have my biometric sticker. Is my biometric instruction letter fine? Someone said they returned her package cos she put that in it. Also do I need pay transmission package for my infant baby who never did biometrics ?

Yes, it's been ready since June 20,2023 paid for collection since June 22, 2023. I'm on the verge of booking a flight to pick it up myself now.

Have they message you that your passport is ready?

Please has anyone ever successfully do their Medicals without their international passport physical copy? I have just the data page and other means of identification.


Recently got a visiting visa VFS is yet to return my passport since June 22 of paying for it. I noticed they’ve increased the fee now could this be a reason

I’m now applying for work permit and my Medicals has been requested to be submitted within 30 days.

Anyone has any related info concerning this issue?

I agree. Today is my first experience with Akin and twice I couldn’t get any help from him. So unfortunate I can’t choose who to chat with, I’ll try again tomorrow.

PerfectFortune:


Chiamaka is the GOAT of that VFS web chat. Her patience is extra. Always willing to help.

ESEMAY:

THAT AKIN ON VFS WEBCHAT IS AN IDIOT. I don't know if Akin is a he or she but whatever, that person should not be chatting with people on VFS webchat, the AKIN person is such a disastrous customer service provider. Personally I am beginning to think the VFS webchat might actually be an AI chat reply system because they cannot resolve any issue in real time.

SOMEONE SHOULD PLEASE HELP...

Sent my passport to Abuja via DHL (my biggest mistake knowing lagos is closer to me) everything went smoothly until a third party tried to collect on my behalf. He was told in Abuja that he needed the collection slip which I don't have since I didn't submit myself.

I was advised to pay a sum of 37,420 for collection of two passports to their sterling account. Since 22nd of June I haven't received any response. No email, no tracking, nothing. Webchat (Akin) today abruptly ended our chat without been helpful.

Please who knows the solution to this sort of issue cos I'm feed-up. My medical appointment is on Wednesday but original passport is no where to be found.

2 weeks gone I'm yet to receive my passport from VFS after making expensive payments to receive them and sent an email. The customer service number is always unreachable, webchat is becoming busier than usual, emails they respond maybe after 2 weeks. What else can I do?
Travel / Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by MrWalban(m): 1:40pm On Jun 19, 2023
I was sent a courier and sms request form to fill. Also, an account number for the payment of about 18k per applicant to be paid.

Travel / Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by MrWalban(m): 11:27am On Jun 18, 2023
Thank you for responding. But did you send your passport to Abuja and received it in lagos where you did your biometrics?

Julieni:


Same as mine, I stopped receiving email after I got this exact mail and I later went to Lagos vfs where I did my biometrics.. And I got my passport.. I did not get collection mail.. I just went there, about 4 days after I hit this you kinda email.
Travel / Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by MrWalban(m): 11:25am On Jun 18, 2023
Thank you for responding. I did that but they didn’t disclose specifically if it’s in lagos or Abuja. I did biometrics in Lagos but sent passport to Abuja. Also paid the passport transmission fee.

Emmafe:
You can track it on vfs website or use der live chat to ask for update.

Emmafe:
I didn’t pay for this thou, e-mail notification is enough nah. Also you can always track on vfs website, I don’t know if it’s necessary.

Please what do you mean by code on the sticker? What sticker? I submitted to Abuja via DHL, paid extra for sms charges. DHL says delivered since yesterday but no update yet.
Travel / Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by MrWalban(m): 4:11am On Jun 03, 2023
Hello House,

I applied for a tourist visa for my wife and I in 2021, we did bio-metric in Lagos Sept 2021. We totally forgot about the application since it wasn't forthcoming but recently we received an email about it a month ago. Our PPR letter just came in few days ago. Please what documents are required for me to send alongside my passport as I'll like to avoid any complications. Also, I recently renewed my passport do I have to mail the previous one too? Since the new one already carries the old passport number can I just send the new one alone?

Any credible response would be appreciated, thank you.

Investment / Cryptocurrency And I by MrWalban(m): 2:42am On Jan 04, 2022
Hello guys,

I’m still looking to buy $Movr below $185.

$ONE is also a coin to have on your watchlist. It gives easy profit with good entry as well. I recommend below 0.23 - 0.25 entry (unless the chart changes)

SOL is forming a bearish pattern on the 1 day candle chart. Some people are even predicting $85. But fundamentally I believe $SOL can pull an $ETH on us ($ETH moved from $88 to what it is now in less than 1 year)

I’m also looking to pick up $SC (Siacoin) at $30-32. The pattern on the 1hr and 1 day time-frame is so familiar and looks bullish.

$Note: These are my opinions and not a financial advise peace ✌�
Car Talk / Re: Mention Any Car Issues You Are Currently Experiencing And We'll Help You Solve I by MrWalban(m): 3:00pm On Aug 25, 2021
Toyota
Camry 2012 SE
Automatic
4 plug
Petrol

Issue: Check engine light with error code P2238 and P2195. I have changed o2 sensor, air flow meter (advised by mandilas). But a local Rewire is telling me the error has been registered on the brainbox until I change it before it can be cleared away. Any advise sir
Car Talk / Re: Should I Change The Brainbox Or Not by MrWalban(m): 12:18pm On Feb 09, 2021
Okay Sir
amedualiyu:
Alternatively, look for someone with same car model without check engine and borrow the oxygen sensor to test your car. If your sensor is confirmed bad after this, I will advise you go for a brand new
Car Talk / Re: Should I Change The Brainbox Or Not by MrWalban(m): 12:17pm On Feb 09, 2021
Yes there is short circuit from the 02 Sensor to the brainbox

Checks the wiring harness for shorts or open circuits from the O2 sensor to the ECM
and thank me later.

Thanks boss. The car is at the painter now I would follow through with your advise next week.

homeboy205:
Why not change the 02 sensor itself as that will be cheaper fix. I know he is getting a positive result, but ECM don’t go bad just like that, especially on newer models.

Don’t mess things up with the car
Car Talk / Re: Should I Change The Brainbox Or Not by MrWalban(m): 5:37pm On Feb 08, 2021
There is a short circuit from the ECM to the 02 sensor. My Rewire says the best solution is to change the ECM.

Car Talk / Should I Change The Brainbox Or Not by MrWalban(m): 2:43am On Feb 07, 2021
Hello, recently purchased a Toyota Camry 2012 Se v4 engine but unfortunately the manifold with the catalyst was cut off from the engine to the silencer at the port (Sallum Lines). Got a new one for 150k. But still having check engine light come up. Ran a scan which came back with P2238 (02 Sensor positive current control) and P2195 (02 Sensor signal stuck lean)..

My rewire tested the voltage of the 02 sensors esp the bank 1 sensor 1 but they came back positive, meaning they are all good. So he is advising if I don't want the check engine light to be on he can loop it and the check engine would be off but the problem would still be there, or I should change the brainbox which we priced to be 28k (for the short, used). He guarantees that would solve the problem as there might be a bad diode in the current brainbox.

I'm confused as to whether changing the brainbox is a good idea, has anyone had similar issue and solved it this way?
Autos / Re: ASK GAZZUZZ by MrWalban(m): 1:17am On Feb 07, 2021
Sir, my rewire checked the sensor and says it brings on the correct voltage. But he is advising if at all I don't want the check engine light on from his experience I'll have to change the brain box. That its a diode no functioning well causing the check engine light to come up. The brainbox (used) is value 28k for the short the one for Camry 2012 SE v4 engine. The car is toks and not even registered yet. Is it reasonable to change the brainbox, can there be an excessive damage if changed? Kindly advise.



GAZZUZZ:


Replace the AF sensor here B1S1
Autos / Re: ASK GAZZUZZ by MrWalban(m): 7:14pm On Feb 02, 2021
Good day Boss,

I got a camry 2012 se from the US unfortunately the catalyst from the manifold to the silencer was removed and cut off at the port. I have replaced with “supposedly follow come” catalyst for the manifold and silencer. But I’m still having these codes

P2238
P2195

Kindly advise on what to do cos I don’t want the check engine light on at all.

Very reasonable advice. Thank you. I was able to negotiate from 1,155m to 1.05m that's 105k difference. The casement seem stronger than the usual he said Aerogold.

Perfecttouchade:
if I understand he's charging 3*5 @N38,750 per unit which u can still slightly negotiate with him , depending on the materials he's going to use, (materials are currently on high rate but u can still negotiate with him)..tinted glass are also expensive please note that Sir..I will suggest u talk to him and give him ur offer if he's ok with it , he will take it.
Properties / Re: Fabrication of Quality Aluminium windows,Railings,Doors Made Easy•Casement••✓ by MrWalban(m): 6:21pm On Jan 10, 2021
He said he isn’t using aluminum for the burglary cos of security reasons that the one the welder would do will be strong. So the welder he got gave the quote for the burglary. But he said he can take 30k off the 310 burglary fee makes it 280k. Then he can take 45k off his own fee makes window frame, glass and net 800k

Perfecttouchade:
is he doing a separate burglary for u? Because I see where it's stated with burglary having it's own cost on the quote
Properties / Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by MrWalban(m): 6:18pm On Jan 10, 2021
Thank you for the detailed opinion. 850k was just based on old quote found on Nairaland. I will get another artisan to give another quote. Thank you very much.

megacontrol:
Hello,

What is your budget of 850k benchmarked against?
Is that just a hunch and a nice round figure or based on quote from similar job?

Like someone said in their response to you, how does this brand/grade rank when compared to others like Tower, Ghana Imported, PVC and the likes? That's a better way to make comparison.

Get same contractor to give you a quote for other brands/grade, then you'll know which one falls within your budget bracket, then get other contractor(s) to quote for that same brand/grade you selected.

One good thing about windows is that there's always something for every budget.

Cheers.
