Q1 Are my documents in order? According to https://www.gov.uk/family-permit/documents-you-must-provide, you should submit :
- a valid passport
- evidence of your relationship to your EEA family member, for example a marriage certificate, civil partnership certificate, birth certificate or proof that you’ve lived together for 2 years if unmarried
- your family member’s valid passport or national identity card (or a certified copy if you cannot provide the original)
- proof of your dependency if you’re dependent on your EEA family member
Q2 Any idea how long it takes? Typical processing times appear to be up to 15 days https://visa-processingtimes.homeoffice.gov.uk/y
It’s not 100% clear from your question but I’m assuming you and your family reside in Nigeria.
