Nigeria* help!!! spouse just received visa finally but no visa packet!?

[Stan&titi 7]

My Nigerian Spouse just received his visa but no packet or none of his info was returned?! I’m reading he will need to present the sealed packet that should have been given to him when he goes through customs, is this normal for him to not receive this? Will he still be able to come? Help!

It's been electronic now for a few years. His visa may even say "IV Docs in CCD."

Even his original documents that he gave them including our marriage certificate?

Usually at the visa interview, the applicant takes the original and a copy to show them to the CO. The applicant gives them the copy and leaves the interview with the original.

They don't always return original documents.  My wife didn't get hers back.

Yes but in our case after his interview they asked him for additional documents so we had to submit even more and we never received anything in return 

 

 

Ok well that’s good to know thank you guys! I had a freak out moment since I already booked his ticket!!

That is what happened in our case.  My wife submitted an additional original after the interview.......they kept it.

How long did they take to check the documents and issued the visa... I did my interview at Lagos embassy on the 17of December and I was asked to submit my wife recent tax transcripts and my original waec certificate which I submitted the following week.. Ever since the  have not heard back from the consulate and its going to two months now

I refused to accept this...there is no way, your original marriage certificate will not be returned to you immediately. If not ...you have every right to ask for the original marriage certificate to be returned cos apart from the embassy you need your marriage certificate

 

 

Who is supporting me on this.

I agree With you! However We don’t need any of that for him to get over here! I’m hoping they can mail those to us I’ve reached out to them already about it

My passport because it wasn't ticked on the form.. Did your husband submit his passport along with the documents??

No they told him the same they will send u a message and tell u when they’re ready to drop off your passport! I think they do that cause they take forever and don’t wanna lose people’s passports don’t worry we just delt with the same exact situation I was freaking out then last Thursday they asked him to drop off his passport don’t worry dear it’s very annoying but it will be soon! Inbox me if u have any questions our situation sounds so similar!
