Hugoboi:


This is not true please. I submitted mine and my spouse's along with our ports and three other applicants before us did the same thing. The choice is actually yours and they will let you know. At least I was told so at VFS in Port Harcourt. You will also get to sign a waiver for them to keep your port for at least 21 days. If for any reason you ask for your port back before expiry of the 21 days, you forfeit your application.

I submitted my application via VFS Abuja office in December, they told me to keep my port, It will be requested via email if my visa is approved.
I got an email asking for my port 2 weeks ago, i sent it via DHL(because I've already left the country). I got it back this week with my visa.

I was informed by a VFS staff here in Port Harcourt that they had a major server downtime in Lagos the entire past week but it has now been rectified. The downtime was the reason for the hold up. He asked me to expect updates from this week.
