After confirming my payment, he asked me to provide him with two of my passport size photographs, but before that, he requested me to confirm at the passport portal that my passport size photos were of acceptable quality. He also said, if I were not familiar with the confirmation steps, that there were photographers around that are ready to help at just N2,000. Immediately, I opted for the help of the photographers around, but I bargain N1,000 with them because I already have my passport size photos, but all of them rejected my offer arguing that, regardless whether I came with a passport of not, the passport quality confirmation price remains the same. Eventually, I logon to the [https://passport.immigration.gov.ng passport portal] myself, uploaded my passport size photos and got a green checked. ✅ I showed it to the officer, and he asked me to forward him my passport photo that have passed the check. And that was how I saved N2,000 that day. We exchanged contacts, he promised to text me first as soon as I have been scheduled for capturing, I notched and I left the office.

Two weeks passed, no words from the officer, then I decided to text him first, I inquired why I haven't been scheduled for two weeks now, he told me to exercise patience, then a week after that, he texted me first with a confirmation screenshort for my schedule capturing, one week from that day. I wasn't please because 3 weeks have passed already and I have not even been captured, meanwhile, his initial claimed was that, fast-tracking enables one to get her passport in 3 weeks, yet 3 weeks have passed and I haven't even being captured, although, I have now been schedule for capturing in the forth week, still I remained calmed untill my capturing date was like tomorrow, so I called him today to remind him that I will be coming for capturing the next day, as the screenshot he sent me showed, but he claimed he's busy or had been down on health and have not been to the office throughout that week. He asked me to delay my visit until the next week (the 5th weeks) and I did. But on the 5th week, he came up with the same excuse, so I became furious and went to the office on my own, he wasn't there, but I met with others that know him, I tendered the capturing screenshot had to me and they said it's geniune, in facts, they said I should have ignored him and came as scheduled last week, but that it wasn't late anyways. They charged me an additional N5,000 to print the original copy of my schedule capturing and for stamping. And I was captured that day.
