Jxool:
From the message is your email written there?

Because I got the same message two weeks ago ambit my email address was not there and when I try to contact the customer care via paid email they tell me another story that my application is still under processing.

So if your email is written there you can expect your passport next week but if not. Means you still have to wait

Debbieeeeeee:
Uk embassy didn’t send collection mail to anyone here today. Maybe they want to shock us on Monday morning by releasing all the backlogs

gistbite:


Is today 40th working day since your biometrics?

Sh0lar:
Finally, I got my passport.
VISA GRANTED: 6 months.

Exactly 40 working days of waiting paid off

Thank God.

Finelolo:
I don't know how you are counting the days. I did biometrics on the 7th of October and uptil now nothing from them. I have removed my mind. Mine is even renewal.

Sh0lar:
See the message I got from TLS today (today is exactly 40 days from the date of biometrics)

Debbieeeeeee:

There’s nothing cannot do between today and tomorrow, so in Jesus name the passport go comot tomorrow , latest Monday. Amen

Debbieeeeeee:

Una no go kill me with laugh for this nairaland
No worry , you’ll get your passport back with visa by next week.

Debbieeeeeee:
Jxool & dzee1 I hope you guys get your passports by tomorrow latest because this situation is traumatic for anyone who has a planned trip outside Nigeria already. No one envisaged this delay, if I did I wouldn’t have dabbled into it until things went to normal because I hate anything that will stress me mentally when Nigeria on its own is stressful already.
Gistbite how far ? I’m rooting for your daughters passport to come back ASAP Abeg.

Brenda37:
I called their +44 300 790 6268 and they kept me on hold for 20mins without any response. Is there any other number other than that I can use to reach them?
Thanx
