Hi,
For someone in the same situation (i.e. needing to be in the US and already has the passport request), I would like to have an idea of how soon the passport can be returning submitted in the US.

Thank you.

Click on the link below and further click the section "webchat" then follow the instruction to chat with an Agent ( be mindful of time zones in New York and Los Angeles). The chat wont be live for interaction outside their working hours. The agent would be able to advise you which office would be better to send your passport. They will also be able to advise you on the requirement to submit your passport.

I was advised by the US VAC agent last year to send to Los Angeles because New York might take longer time but not sure of now.

It took my parents passport less than two weeks to return from Los Angeles so you can plan two weeks. You would just need to be proactive to start the process once you arrive USA.

My parents visitor visa application approved!
Application submission: April 3, 2022
PPR: January 13, 2023
Used the new portal!

Now it’s time to send their passport to Abuja via DHL and I’m wondering if anyone can please let me know what documents they need to submit with their passport request letter, the address to send it to and how to make payments? There are no details of this on the vfs website. Can someone please let me know? Thanks so much.

Please � if you find the answer to your question please share. I was just informed that DHL no longer does two way delivery for passport request to Abuja unsure if this includes Lagos

Good day everyone, Im very fresh here.
Pls I need the help of this forum in procuring a tourist visa to Canada with my family (of5).
I have travelled to more than 6 african countries including France and US in the last 10 years(all for work).
I also have a valid US visa.

I'm about to start the process of Canada tourist visa for a 6-8 days vacation with family.
I have these questions;


1. I have not travelled with my family before, does it make sense applying for Canada tourist with them?

2. Pls I need clarification on the visa fees and biometrics fees. How much?

3. How long does the process take?

Thanks

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/apply-visitor-visa.html read. If you dont have family in Canada it’s taking 7 months to 18 months for some

Just show documents evincing these ties you have listed. Coupled with your travel history, you stand a good chance to obtain a Visa. Best of luck.

Does UPS send to Abuja? 2 way delivery? Someone said UPS is not reliable that I should send it via dhl then pay for vfs to return it to me. I don’t know why Nigeria likes to complicate things

Hello everyone

Quick question about passport submission. Is it possible to submit passports directly to vfs Lagos or does everyone have to mail it in using DHL?

Hello, pls I am unable to retrieve my username. There is a message concerning my application. I have sent a mail via Web form since Thursday. I haven't received any reply.

Pls does anyone know what I can do?
Has anyone e forgotten her/his username before? How did you resolve it?

I made this application since 2021.
Pls help!

Thank you.

DHL said they only do 1 way when I went there....the lady said since last November. So I use UPS nd I met other people there too for the same purpose. hatuote author=Jewel80 post=120101486][/quote]

Hi Everyone, and thanks for this thread, it has helped a whole lot! Just to drop my application story in case it helps someone. I applied with my husband on the 30th of July 2022, and applied for my parents on the 11th of September, 2022. Nothing has changed about our application till date, but my parents got a PPR today 17th January 2023. There's obviously no method to the application process apart from just to apply and wait your turn, whenever that would be. Also a quick question, how long has it taken you guys to get your passports back after submitting, cuz they have a US trip scheduled soon, and we need to be sure they'll have their passports back before then. Fingers crossed, all the best to everyone!

Did you have to fill the VFS consent form when using UPS, If yes is this how you filled it for example

Did you have to fill the VFS consent form when using UPS, If yes is where it says to receive/give my documents from/to______ did you put UPS name there?

Misshamilton:

Just write courier there, no need for any courier name because vfs will decide that once you pay for logistics as they no longer allow for 2 way payment
