Dear VO,
I have a brother who has a dual citizenship through both parents coming from two different African Nations (Nigeria and Benin Republic) and he lives in Kuwait where he had legal residency.
He now wants to visit the US for Summer vacation and we are all confused about what he should do because:
1. He wants to come home to Nigeria before applying but he doesn't know if it's appropriate to apply in Nigeria.
2. He hold's Benin Republic Passport but doesn't know if he could come along with it to the interview with his Nigerian passport because it's on the Benin Republic passport his travel history is on.
3. Does his Kuwait Civil ID and work permit admissible as part of supporting documents if applying in Nigeria?

Thanking you in anticipation.

Dear VO,
I had my baby in the US and paid all my bills to the last cent last year. However 2 weeks after he was born, he fell ill & the paediatrician we consulted referred us to a hospital. He was admitted for 3 days, had a surgery, MRI, & ended up with a bill of $20,000.
All this happened so quick & unexpectedly. However since I returned I have been having difficulties sending the cash to the hospital because of the new CBN policy on forex.
From the look of things, I can only pay the bill when I arrive America personally. I have explained to the hospital but I do not know what the current situation is regarding the health of my account.
My question is this, if I am not able to send the cash abroad before the expiration of my visa, will the debt prevent me from being given a visa?
Secondly, if I decide to travel before my visa expires, will I be prevented from entering the U.S because of the debt?
I need your honest opinion. I was even offered Medicaid at the hospital but I declined.
Thank you do much.

Hello Visa Officer,
I've scheduled an interview with the US embassy Abuja for on the 11 of May. As at the time I applied, my passport validity was above 6 months, (note my passport expires 27th of October? But my passport will be 14 days below 6 months on the day of my interview. Will that be a problem for my visa? Remember I met with the requirement of not less than six months before applying, and Nigerian immigration won't renew the passport for me if it's not 6 months or below. Kindly advise me if I can still go on with the passport for my interview. (I applied for a short visit visa B1/B2)
Thanks

Hello JADESOLA15,

Your current visas are still valid and you may travel on them as you wish. Just be sure to tell the agent at the POE exactly what your purpose of travel is. If you plan to have the baby in the U.S. you must provide the agent at the POE with all the documents that demonstrate your ability to pay for the ENTIRE birth (you may not accept any public assistance).

Regards,
Nigeria NIV Team

Dear Abuja NIV Team,
I've filled my DS 160 and submitted, I've also scheduled my appointment for next week, before I realized that my passport is having less than 6 months validity.
I've applied for renewal of my passport and hopefully I should get it before my interview date, I also planned completing a new DS 160 form to effect the change in my passport number, my question is:
Can I update this new passport info and new DS 160 bar code number on my appointment page?
Will this change my appointment date from next week?
Do I need to call the embassy to inform them of the renewal of my passport?

Thanks.

Hi VO, thanks for your great work here. So I received email from Vice Consul that we should bring our passports for interview, and today VO asked why we didn't travel and I responded. Asked how m7ch we both earn, and we answered.

She stepped out for minutes and came back with our passports with CANCELLED stamp on the visas.

Even though wife was not pregnant during interview, I guess VO felt we lied.

I have taken it in good faith, even though it was painful that being truthful led us here. I will continue to be honest even with this setback. may God keeps us all. Amen.

Thanks and I really appreciate.

Dear VO,
I have a valid B1/B2 visa that expires in August. I'm currently vacationing in the US but will be back in a few days. In a week I intend to be in South Africa.

My question is, I have a 2weeks trip planned for the USA again for a conference in June. And I might be going from SA. DO I need to renew my visa before then? And, if Yes, can It be renewed in South Africa?

I was issued this current one in Nigeria.
Kindly respond pls.

Hi house,
I recently came to Nigeria to renew my USA B1/B2 visa all the way from Ukraine through Dropbox. I submitted since two weeks ago and I am yet to hear anything from the embassy or DHL I have called the embassy twice and I was told to wait. Now the issue on ground is, I am supposed to be back to school for my final exams this month and I have to leave Nigeria this week. Is there anyway I can get my passport back from the embassy with or without the visa? Because right now, I'm more than worried. I have been having sleepless nights and so on. Please is there anybody in the house that has had similar experience and please what do you suggest I do best? I have to be out of the country latest by Friday this week. Please help... All candid opinions are welcome. Gracias!

Good day v.o

Thieves visited my friends house and her passport was taken away, she's meant to travel this weekend to the us with her hubby which is not possible again following the incidence, her b1/b2 visa is expiring in oct 2016, she's trying to get a new passport now, my question is how does she get a visa back. Please advice.

abujaniv:


She needs to inform the Embassy what happened and apply for a new visa.

abujaniv:


You should not have applied via dropbox if you were not a present resident of Nigeria. You can email the embassy if you are concerned the directions on the website indicate that you need to be a resident of the consular district from which you are applying for renewal.

Matcoco:
Thank you, is she going to do drop box or book an appointment please. Pardon my previous empty posts
