Exactly what I am saying• But I want to believe that it is legal and it is what people have done before?
The legality of it is debatable because the disadvantage far outweighs the advantage.
Realistically,nobody will ever own up to such act.
It's been done with nobody owning up to the deeds even though its advisable to be hand-picked enroute to Nigeria/country of destination by a trusted friend/relative.
Caution is the word for it...one need to be careful so that nothing goes wrong.
Cheers.

Really,that was why i raised the issue of legality. They will surely send it to the address you provided only in canada. How you handle it afterward will be your concern but one must be very cautious. The number of days for processing it seems not stable. It is presently 33 days. Some say 6 weeks but i will really like to know the average processing time. I think the landed people should be able to give more precise information.

Hello GENTLEANDREW,

Am sure you wanna travel first, spend few days and come back before traveling finally probably because of work or something like that. I also wanna do that too. It would be very upsetting if your documents get into the wrong hands. My advice is that you take enough leave days (if possible unpaid leave too), so you can wait and collect your thing before traveling elsewhere. Except you trust your contact very well that it would be kept safe.
Remember all you went through to get PR.. ;D ;)

BR,

Well said! I will definitely stays for sometimes• It is really an interesting situation for me but I do not see myself joking with the PR card• I have seen on their website that you can apply for urgent processing in as much as you can show proof of payment of airfare and you have your ticket plus your itenerary• It is well• Cheers

Hi Sambisa valley,

i am not sure pension statement is 'acceptable' to AVO at this stage in the application process. You are better off sending in bank statements (savings and/or current accounts) or fixed deposit statements. Even mutual funds statement at this stage has a comma.

But i stand corrected. Let the seniors respond.

RSA pension fund is definately not advisable to be presented to Accra visa office because they know that the cash is not fully unencumbered.The 25% of the RSA that is even accessible to you can only be accessed after 4 months of your resignation from employment status.
If however you're operating voluntary pension fund,it's accepted because it's fully unencumbered as it's different from RSA pension fund.
The RSA pension fund is aalways accepted at the submission stage of the recently ended FSWP but it's a different ball game at Accra visa office.
As much as possible ,avoid presentation of RSA pension fund statement to Accra visa office if it's requested.
Cheers

AVO specifically wrote in the email sent to me that the pension statement I provided cannot be used. Meaning pension statement is a No No for AVO!!

Just give my bit of details i know about 4lashme application before he comes to make it clearer.
He got medical request on 18th November,2014 and was asked to show an update of POF within 30days too.
He did medicals and was able to send the POF update.
Seems the fall in naira value caught(this was the only logical assumption) up with the total evidence sent and made it lower than the family POF.
Accra asked him to provide another POF update again on 2nd January,2015.
4lashme is/was actually expecting passport request before the last correspondence from Accra.
I'm sure he will shed more light on my omission.addition when next he's online.
Cheers.

Yes. i think [like what Kollins rightly said] it's the exchange rate thing. Naira is becoming embarrassing in the FOREX. Yea, you can relax. If ur funds are above the requirments, then u have notting to worry about.

Dear friends,

Happy New Year!!

I have been up and about during the holiday season and havn't been able to update my good friends on the status of our application!

I will like to inform the forum that we received our pick-up email on 22 Dec, 2014. Pick-up initiated with DHL same day with passports delivered (I picked passports up from their Akin Adesola, VI office) on 29 Dec 2014.

I appreciate all the wonderful information being shared in this great forum! Wish everyone the very best!

We also got our passports delivered yesterday. I think the delay in delivery was because of the long break. To God alone be all the Glory!
