Spot on! Letting them know about the situation ASAP before sending the documents was a smart move. So happy for you!

Thank u, thank u all.
Another issue now is that he went to DHL and was told they dont do prepaid envelop. DHL said that what they do is after sending the passport and the documents to ghana, then when the visa is issued on the passport, they will send the applicant email stating that the passport is ready for pockup from ghana. Then the applicant will go to DHL and pay for DHL to go to ghana and pickup the passport to deliver to the applicant. Is that how its done and also if yes, what info would DHL require to pickup the passport from ghana?

Yes. This how DHL operates in Nigeria. Once you receive an email from AVO that your package is ready, you will go back to DHL with a copy of the email.

I was told the same thing, the day I was sending my documents to AVO, DHL refused to accept the money for the prepaid, that i should come with the pick up mail.
however, FYI prepaid is more expensive is about #28k according to them, please house verify this.

I don't know for sure but AVO in some circumstance extended the medical to give the applicant some grace period. Fingers crossed
