Hello!

My Mother-in-Law’s TRV application just got approved, so I have the following questions;

1. Can she submit her passport at VFS Lagos in person?
2. For those who have gotten the visa in recent times too, how many years did you get?

Thank you!

pamelaa:


I think you should send them a mail. My mum applied from Nigeria. Wondering if you followed the covid-19 instructions (to enter COVID-19 as purpose of visit on the application form) for immediate family members of Citizens/PRs.

esosa4real:

I can only answer first part because my mum is yet to get her PP back

She submitted her passport at the DHL close to the vfs. PHYSICAL SUBNISISONS are no longer allowed at the vfs because of covid19

So simply tell her to take her pp, pp biodata page, letter sent by cic in account plus transmission slip given to her earlier after she did biometrics to DHL

Hi congrats, what’s her timeline pls, when did she apply ?

My brother got his decision envelope today. He applied in February via paper route. A note was in the decision envelope that says something like “we are aware that you might need your passport for emergency travel, we have decided to return your passport but we are still processing your application. Once we need a passport we would request that you submit your passport at the VFS office”

This is crazy. After paying 11k for courier. What kind of nonsense is this. Haba, after 9 months

babs4all:
2 to 3 days. When did you pay and scan all the required documents to them?

babs4all:
Did they treat your application at all or it was returned as sent?

Hi Guys, I am a PR and just applied for TRV for my mom on the 11th, she got request for biometrics the next day and she has completed it but her profile hasn't been updated. Unfortunately I didnt follow the new guidelines (putting COVID-19 as reason for travel)for applying for immediate family members when I was applying for her, I have sent an email to that address on their website though but in the acknowledgement email sent to me I realized that email was actually for people who applied before Apr 9th. Please is any other person in this situation and is there anything to be done other than wait.
Thank you

They dispatch passports on Mondays and Wednesdays. Call them tomorrow morning to be sure yours has been dispatched or processed for dispatch. You'll be given a UPS tracking number to track your passport. My mum's was dispatched yesterday morning and received today. Depending on your location, you may get your passport on Thursday (latest Friday) if it's dispatched tomorrow.

Sunmisire:

I just sent the payment receipt and form today. I pray they dispatch tomorrow. When did you submit yours,how long did it take?

pamelaa:


Mine was delayed for about a week because for some reasons, they didn't get the mail containing the documents required for courier delivery. I had to resend the mail on Friday last week.

Try to call them early tomorrow morning to be sure they've received your mail and processed your passport for dispatch.

You have to calculate her flight ticket ,since you will be providing accomdation and money should still be left in the account atleast she cannot use all her savings for the trip ..so currently if ticket is like 1200usd then you expect she should have minimum 2000 to 3000 or more eqvivalent in naira on her account but if you working in canada you can add ur payslip ..so it like a share responsibilty you care for her feeding and accomdation abd she only pay for flight ticket as stated in the invitation letter

pamelaa:
You'll get a mail from VFS stating that the decision envelop for your application has been received and is ready for collection. When you get the mail, you can call VFS or chat with them requesting for instructions on how to pay for their courier delivery service. You'll be sent another mail containing their account details, courier request form and other instructions.

Try to call again or send a mail to feedback.cannig@vfshelpline.com. They'll definitely respond.

Ah since June?

My wife was in similar situation as she was pregnant and wanted her mum, but her mum has since done biometrics on August 24

We had applied in July but Covid19 had close vfs.
Please whats the problem now because the vfs has been open since August ooh, and booking biometrics has been possible since the weekend before that date.

Without biometrics, your application won't proceed.

babs4all:
Good morning, please resend the mail to info.cannig@vfshelpline.com
They are having issue with the feedback email. I just spoke with them. I sent mine on Monday. I was asked to resend to the email I put up here.
