It was my promise that I would share my story once my visa was granted because Nairaland gave me hope during my visa travails.
After securing admission for masters and paying the necessary tuition fee, I applied for visa. One month after applying for visa, I received a medical request email from IRCC. First time hearing this. I went to IOM Abuja for the test, that was when my travails began. After the test, I was told they suspected I had Tuberculosis, so I had to undergo culture test. That was my first time hearing tuberculosis, I searched those that had similar problems on Nairaland, I saw that 95% of those who were told had this disease at IOM later came out negative after the culture test. I ran a culture test at IOM for three days, I was told the test result would take 8 weeks (2 months) before it could come out. After a deafening silence for good 2 months, I received an email from IOM that my tuberculosis test came out negative, and I was told to come back one month later for a redo X-ray (everything making 3 months). I wasn’t even happy because in my mind I just said this people just wasted my 3 months for nothing because I knew from the start that I had no tuberculosis. I just had to defer my semester because it was already September. On September 8, I went for the redo X-ray scan. On 16th September, I received a passport request. On September 19th I submitted my passport. And on September 21, I was sent an SMS that my passport is ready for collection which I collected same day with my visa on it
Good luck to everyone
