I wish that the desire of everyone in this forum be granted in no time IJN. May I begin by appreciating God for making today a reality. Without God, this will definitely not have been possible. 2014 is indeed a remarkable year in my family. Once again, I wish everyone here the very best.

When i consider the fact that my application was one of the last applications on any forum i know to have made it into the Cap for NOC 2263 for FSW 2013, all i can do is just bless God for todays development. My application arrived CIC NS on November 18, 2013 and the last application to be charged on the general forum arrived CIC NS a week later on November 26, 2013. All other applications after November 26th were returned.

God is good. So good because i had actually decided against applying initially, thinking 5000 applications were too small and would be filled only by applicants in Lagos Nigeria, not to talk about India. In late August 2014, he convinced me to give it a shot and between September and October, i prepared my application by getting my IELTS, WES Report, foreign PCC etc before eventually submitting in November and today, i am talking about VISA Pickup Mail.

Again i bless God because i remember all the fretting i had, especially with regards to POF update. I had sent a bank balance letter with my initial application and was asked to update POF at MR stage. I had a huge project that needed cash in August and used up almost all i had. I was in a fix and most people stated that 6 month statements were the minimum needed. 2 weeks before MR came, i was able to raised the needed funds and immediately opened a FD Account for 30 days. MR duly came and all i had was just my 2 weeks old Fixed Deposit statement that was valid for just 30 days. I prayed over it, sent the FD Statement with nothing else attached and behold, it was cleared and i got my Passport Request a mere 3 weeks after MR.

A fairytale story with a rosy ending. We will all have such stories to tell in Jesus name.

Many thank you to everybody that have celebrated with me and other celebrating forum members today. RonD, you can be rest assured that we will always remain active on here.

Me personally, i never dey land anytime soon sha so we still dey gidigba. A Summer landing in 2015 will be just perfect for me since i have already experienced winter a couple of times.

God bless you all.
