We are almost in same time, mine was February 6,2021. Just few days difference. I have done my medical and it’s onlready on passed. You gotten anything yet? What’s your location
@Bgil After my husband's medical passed on JUL 18, JUL 23- DM, and JUL 27- PPR
PA's location: Accra, GH
If all goes well with you, *fingers crossed* by next week you'll get DM + PPR, but you never know with AVO. Sending blessings your way, all the best!!

Wow, congratulations. Yours is fast. You’re a month ahead of me as I applied on same family sponsorship feb. so I’ll get ppr before DM.
This is hard for me to belive oh cos I got the Pre-Arrival already Medicals passed and yet nothing. No DM yet, but looks to me like most of the PPR's are from Nigeria, don't know if any of those who received the PPR, are from Ghana if so then really can't comprehend their processing if they really focused on the spousal thing. Looks like my app on hold or something for no reason as it js hit a year yesterday and still IN PROCESS.

@Alissi18. This is very helpful. I thought was was so quick, yours is quicker. Am on spousal sponsorship too. It’s amazing to get dm in 4 days after medical and ppr the next 4th day. Congratulations. I hope mine to comes in too. Thanks for the info

For those waiting for their passport to be return via VFS Lagos..

I just finished speaking with a customer service representative at VFS Lagos on phone.

They are trained to respond in a certain way concerning PR passport transmission related questions. She explained that their work is to just deliver passport to Accra through batching and get it back through the same process. They don't check if a batch of passports are ready for collection or not, until the embassy sends it and it is received at VFS Lagos, nothing is done. She also explained that it has to go.through the border, as if, the border is a great wall of China.

I made reference to the fact that people are avoiding Lagos VFS and sending directly to Accra VFS and gets it within 3 weeks max...she was like, is because it was sent directly to Accra ("the border factor"). Then I asked about those sent through VFS London and still got delivered within 3 weeks, she couldn't answer that and said she would let management know for service improvement and that because of the time I spent on the call, they will want to know what the problem is.

Please let's start calling this people, express our frustration and spend time on the call They are the clog in the wheel of getting back our passports.

We need to act!

Do I need an additional letter with my passport before I travel? Am reading about a COPR letter which I need with the visa. Is that true ?

If it’s permanent residence you applied for, I am sure you need a copy or permanent residence (COPR) to travel with, it should come with your passport.

Is there any reason why VFS Lagos cannot return passports in a timely manner? I mailed passport June 21, 2021. Does anyone have an idea how many months is stamped on the travel visa?
