Judawoo:
he got the visa? Noted that first traveller and frequent should normally not be the same treatment

He got denied o. He used an agent that f*cked up his application which I dint get to know till after he had submitted.

He was denied due to doubts about the authenticity and accuracy of the submitted ing documents.

The ing documents the agent added was just Insurance, flight itinerary and hotel booking with letter of introduction and only asked him to submit his company’s CAC and bank statement! You can imagine! I don’t even submit just only those documents at renewal of my visas. And to top it all, she used fake booking and insurance for him after charging him 5M and 2M+ down payment.

juddy234:
Hello sholzyy, how many days did his application took to be approved?

43days

Please I need the help of anyone's who's familiar with this process.
I've been waiting on my visa for over 8 months.

I applied for a long term stay visa on the basis of family reunification and submitted at TLS since 13 June 2024 .
As far as I know all my documents and requirements are complete but I'm yet to receive my visa.
I've called and emailed both TLS and the embassy several times but with no response.

Is it usually like this?
If there's any who applied for family reunification visa please let me know how long it took.

I no believe.

Are people this gullible to be paying agents 2M and 5M for visa processing?

Now this is frightening. I applied same day I Had my Canada Biometrics done in Abuja, Ircc responded after 5 days and now I need to send my port over for my Canadian visa.

Kindly advice should I request for my port so I don't loose my Canadian visa. I have 30days to submit port.

You must have an extensive travel history to be honored this way.

Read what I typed .. “not just only”

sorry dear

Yes I do have an extensive travel history with valid USA and Uk visa. I was also surprised with how fast this came. My reason for combining the Canada was because I felt it will take a while to be approved and i didn’t need to submit port.

I have a regular port. I was also shocked with how fast that came. An extensive travel history and valid Uk and USA visa may have played a role in it.

How gracious. You are indeed very lucky to be chosen. Please treat their request quickly and do as advised.
