Passport Held by UK Embassy, Missing at Abuja Immigration – Need Advice

I applied for a UK visit visa in the middle of last year but my application was rejected. I fell ill for about four months and couldn’t travel to Lagos to collect my passport. Now I want to apply for a visa to another country, but the UK Embassy insists they sent my passport to the Abuja Immigration office since I missed the collection deadline. Abuja officers have confirmed they never received it. I can’t afford to get a new passport right now. What steps can I take to locate or recover my document?

Has anyone else had trouble tracking down passports sent to immigration offices in Abuja? Did you find out who's responsible when documents go missing?

I've been there. Abuja immigration gave me zero updates until I pushed through their office. They need better tracking.

I know how stressful that wait can be. Immigration offices sometimes leave you chasing ghosts.

Seems odd the embassy can't track your passport after rejecting the visa. Could there be a mix-up with your file or name details at immigration?

Blaming the embassy straight away might miss the real issue. Immigration departments sometimes reroute passports internally without notifications.

Contact both the UK Embassy's passport unit and Abuja Immigration formally by email, request tracking number details, then follow up with in-person visits.
