Hey everyone,

So as our application is nearing the one year mark, I decided to give my area MP's office a call to book an appointment. I called at 8:50am this morning and got the voicemail so I left a message for a call back. I was at work and at 3:21pm, I got the call. The lady on the other end, the constituency director, informed me that I didn't need to see the MP and that she handles those issues. She took my husband's name and date of birth and some other information. She informed me that she was going to send some forms for me to sign and return to her with a copy of my id. She also told me she was going to call and find out what the hold up was and will get back to me. At 4:15, she called again and told me she spoke with someone about our application. She said she was told that everything on our file is fine and well presented and that there is a backlog and Avo is working to clear it and we should hear from them very soon. She is going to follow up every now and then and will let me know with any updates and changes. Coincidentally, I got a response from the immigration ministers office too 15 mins after about an email I sent in August. It also affirms that I will hear from Avo soon as they are working on our file. This is good news enough for me for someone who hasn't heard anything since Nov 2016. My prayers are up and fingers are crossed......

@Denne, everyone has said everything, pretty much. Cic asked for the same from me in January of this year and the few things that I sent that made a difference, from what I could see in my notes, were notarized letters from my pastor and my neighbors, as well as our joint bank account, our life insurance policy, but most importantly a declaration from my spouse attesting to the authenticity of the relationship. If you can get any or most of these it would really help. All letters need to be notarized.

Hope all goes well.
Thank you very much dear. I have just sent all you included here and also more like whatsapp chats, recent travel visa, air tickets, joint acquired property document and few pictures.
I sent this documents through courier and it was delivered to their guard/security station on last Thursday, 6th Sept and was signed by somebody there because they were closed for the day by the time the package got there.

Please how do I confirm if they have received the additional documents(package) I sent to them.?

@Denne make sure when your ready to send the package off with DHL or other courier ask fornsignature required and make sure to always make duplicate of everything your sending just in case the claim not to receive it you have back up
Yes I just sent them additional documents via courier and it was delivered on the 6th but was recieved by somebody in the guard/security station because they were closed for the day by the time the package got there that day.
Please how do I confirm if it has gotten to the right hands (immigration officers)?

I have a question for people in/from Nigeria that would have used a doctor in Lagos. My husband and kids got notification to do their medicals. They are in Ibadan and will travel to Lagos for this. If they book an appointment, they will have to wait about 3 weeks. Does anyone know if any of the medical centres do walk ins? He is thinking of going to Lagos first to check it out, then go back for the kids, but this seems like a waste of money. Thanks in advance for help / advice.

Thanks Cutie101 - I have this list, but I also know that not all of them do walk ins so I was hoping that someone might have direct experience doing this. We have also the phone numbers, but not all of them answer their phones which is why my husband is thinking of going i person. But thank you for taking the time to respond.

Hello,
Don't know about Lagos. But when I got notification for medicals... i had to call Abuja clinics, cos that's where I stay. And they asked me to come anytime I felt. So I think you should call their number first and find out, including how much it'd cost too... hope this helps

Good All,
Please join in giving All Glory to God for His Goodness to me. I received a message from CiC Accra that my immigrant visa has been approved that I should send my passport.
Please can someone tell me how long it take them to issue the visa if I submit my passport via VFS in Lagos Nigeria. Thank you.

Thank you for the reply. There are three clinics in Lagos. One for sure won't do walk ins and is the most expensive. He was able to talk to another clinic and they basically said that maybe they will see them, and maybe they won't if they just turn up. He hasn't been able to get through to the last place. It will be very expensive if he just turns up and they won't see them as they will need to stay overnight so as not to travel at night.
