hi

i am scheduled to go to nigeria on 12/3 but i forgot about the holidays when i sent in for my nigerian visa. i sent in for 5 day processing,but here is the thing... it is not supposed to be ready until monday, but i'm leaving on mon. So the agency who i went through visa hq says they will try to expedite it for p/u on tommorrow which is my deadline , mind u this is the embassy in washington dc im in florida now. Eveytime i call they hang up and the ext go to voicemail. So im stuck not knowing whether i will gwt it tommorrow or not they say they been screwin gup for the last 2 weeks. Yes i know i waited last minute but i did this last trip but it was no holidays etc and they used to be open on fridays but not anymore. any suggestions ohh my god i am so hurt my husband says its my fault , his mother went to inquire with my info and she said they were so rude to her...

One of my friends had the agency she used to get her visa, to ship it to the Fed Ex inside the airport on the day that she was leaving, that worked out good. She left from NY. It depends on where you are leaving from to determine if that will work out for you. Wish you all the luck I'm sure it will work out.

Yeah, I did the same thing the last time I went to Nigeria. I mailed in my application on extremely short notice, then forgot it was a holiday week (4th of July) and that they were closed on Fridays. The good news is they are actually open for phone calls, but closed to the public. I was to leave on a Saturday, and when the Friday mail came, I still had no passport!!!! I had a terrible time trying to get someone to help me, and the people (one nasty receptionist) was soooooooooooooooooo rude! I finally just went through the telephone directory for the consulate and started picking out extensions so I could talk to anyone. I was desperate. I got somenoe on the line from Lord only knows what office and I hurriedly explained that I was supposed to leave for Nigeria the next day, but that I didn't have my passport. I asked him to take down my number just in case we got disconnected, and I asked for his. After a lot of running around on the phone, he got me to the right person and they found my passport. They were willing to overnight it to me and I would have it by 10 am the next day. I told them I was leaving for New York at 6 am in the morning, so there was no way. They ended over nighting (I had to pay for that) it to New York (there is a FedEx at JFK airport) and I went on faith that it would be there when I arrivedere. It was, and to God be the glory! Lesson learned though...stop procrastinating!

Hi,

Blessings guess what i made it in time with my nigerian visa that is. I am to go to nigeria on monday, and i didnt get my visa until today. Let me just tell u some of what i went through getting it. I called all around from embassy extension to another , people were not helpful at all but on friday today, after just picking ext i found a very helpful guy who was willing to check into for me by the grac eof god it had to be god u all. He told be stop crying i will take care of it for you i had to plea literally and tell them my husband is calling me 5ox a day and the family is upset that they are all expecting me. So finally he called my passport agency who i went through and told them to come and pick it up, thats i should stop crying calm down he will not let me miss my flight on monday... Guys all i have to say is i had almost given up but everyone kept saying try anyway because as u know they r not open on fridays, and all i can say is the lord will rescue you in any situation , i am telling you i was not even supposed to get my visa until monday because i filed too late on my part... but god stepped right in when i had lost hope. This is an experience i tell u i will neverrrrrrrr do that again . PLEASE apply 2 month or 3 mos early for your visas and do not go through agencies mail it in yourself .

Take care.
