Tinu,
What i did was basically doing the visa officer's job for him/her. I wrote in a new sheet my assessment, calculating my points with proofs and providing another note that spelt out and analysed all documents enclosed. I think this adds to the fastness. Also i did not live anything required unadded. All is well.

please, Boljet, did you write the IELTS exam. i just sent my application to CIO.

 

[neddy]

If i have to sit for the IELTS exam, is the material sold at British council Lagos, adequate enough to prepare one for the exam or if i need additional resources, where can i get them in Lagos. Please, your kind contribution would be greatly appreciated.

 

[barsindoo]

Material from British Council is very sufficient. It is just N4000.

Previously, it used to be by regular mail only, except for stamped passports - where Accra demands personal pickup/prepaid courier from applicants. But WEF early last year, CIO and Accra office commenced e-mail notifications to applicants, and that works in majority of cases(docs, ielts, PCC, RPRF requests etc). As applicants just proceed and act upon the email notifications whether or not the hardcopy turns up in the post. The only case where one would be hampered from progressing would be where medical docs/forms have gone missing, cos one needs the hardcopy forms to be able to book the med test with DMPs, so all one can do in that situation is to notify CiC after about 5-6wks wait that the forms have failed to turn up, and request them to resend it or give em the option of sending a prepaid courier to pick it up. In most cases, you get an automatic extension of up to 8weeks to the initial deadline to allow you to receive the resent copies thru the post and book the IME with a DMP.

And oh, Mails go missing everywhere, only the rates of occurences may differ. There's no foolproof way of completely ruling it out. All one can do is to mitigate against it by using UK addy, 9ja PObox at main Nipost hub, i/o 9ja bluechip employer addy, physical addy in well planned out districts in 9ja etc. All those have been breached at one point or the other if you go thru the forum. Its just the Grace of God in that can help in this case.
