Thanks for the info. I filled the consent form when I was going to send it. Probably that’s the reason some of us are not getting it. Did you fill the consent form. Also I paid 12,730 for the return. Any fingers still crossed.

Please @chismo7 explain better so we that don’t understand what you mean by consent form and what you fill can understand. Thank you

 

[Bgil]

Okay thanks.
I pray we get it back soon.

Please did you use vfs Lagos to send your passport. When did you send it before you got messaged now that’s it’s ready. I’ll like to know the time frame thanks. What is consent form? Do I need to fill that when mine arrives. Many thanks

@Bgil, consent for is basically authorizing courier service to drop off your passport and I think it’s also taking any liability off them. I read through threads is how I got to know about it but it’s not in the PPR letter. So if you are yet to send your passport you may file the form otherwise you’d probably get same email. But am not sure if that’s the reason I didn’t get the same email

@chismo7 okay. Thanks

I mailed passport to VFS Lagos June 22.
Consent form is an authorization for your passport to be collected and mailed back to you. Yes, you will have to fill it. The instructions will be given in the email from VFS when it is ready.

@Godly8319 that's good news. Congrats.
I just hope someone can also pick it up from VFS office if they prefer instead of using their courier service.

Pls how long did it take from the date you courier to VFS till pick up? Was it Lagos or Abuja VFS?

Lagos VFS,you can’t pick up your self,submitted June 21st got approved 19 July.

@Godly8319 thanks for the clarification.

Just curious, did VFS Lagos at least give you the tracking number for the passport which they used UPS to dispatch? Because this their so called tracking number on VFS platform and the annoyingly criptic message just tire me. You will be seeing message "package has been dispatched to IRCC" for so long... and its hard to tell when the "dispatched" package was actually "received" in by AVO. Anyway its to wait for passport collection email and pay their UPS fee.

Had anyone from VFS Abuja received passport ready for pickup email?

For me no, I haven’t received any email or notification. I don’t know if we have more people from Abuja. I also thought about that fact that the passports may actually land in Lagos first and then sorting can delay Abuja by 1 day or so
