Good day sir/Madam,
I wish to apply for an F1 visa to do an LLM in the US and i have my i20 already. I am a Nigerian lawyer and i practice in Cameroon and Nigeria. I reside in Abuja and i wish to use our law firm bank statement and that of a client in Cameroon. The latter will sponsor me for about 80% of the program. So the question is can a bank statement from a commercial bank in Cameroon be used at the US embassy in Abuja? Thanks much.

Hello Tutu121,

We have gone over this many times now. We do not and will not give odds of getting a visa.

HI VO,

I have applied for b1/b2 visa from Nigeria before and was granted. However, my last renewal for b1/b2 was done in the UK while on studies.
I want to renew my visa from Nigeria as the current US visa just expired. Can I go for the drop box option?

Hello Jalfalb,

If you are called for an interview, you should bring those documents. Because documents are not required, DHL is not used to people sending in more documents, so they kept to the established procedure.

DEAR VO I HAD A B1/B2 Visa and 2014 and in 2015 I had my baby in the US with b1/b2. I paid all my hospital bills in full. Now, I have gone to renew my visa, I added my hospital receipts for dropbox, but DHL office for dropbox returned the receipts.. They said they needed only my passport photograph, payment receipt, IPP and confirmation slip. Now, how will the consular know I paid my bills in full? Is this something new?

Good day VO,
My family intends to have our annual vacation in the US, we have made visa application payments and filled forms. Our intended date of visit filled on the form is December 24th but I couldn't get an interview date earlier than January 4th 2017.
As it is, it looks like we won't be able to make the trip this December due to unavailable interview date, now my questions are;
1. Can I change our intended date of visit on the form? If yes, how?
2. We have decided to postpone the trip till Easter, wouldn't January 4th 2017 be too early for interview since we intend to travel in April 2017.
Thanks.

good day. please i want to ask, i finished school this year and i applied for my masters degree. av been given admission. please if they ask at the embassy that why didn't i go for nysc what should i say?

Hi VO,

Sure you are doing very well.

Pls can you shed more lights on the implications of the following Visa related problem:

Cancelled
Cancelled Without Prejudice
Cancelled With Prejudice

If you have any of the above, does it mean the person can never get US Visa again?

Thanks in advance.

pls can anyone assist me. i applied for visiting visa in 2014 with my family which i happened to be the principal applicant. though i dint do it myself but i went thru an agent...the visa was not granted. so today i decided to apply for only my wife and daughter... so when i got to the stage on booking an appointment for interview, the site did not accept it saying the daTA is connected to a particular email address. which i typed and tried to log in thru that email its just bringing out my data page alone.

Dear , please I will appreciate your advice, my cousin was issued a b1/b2 visa in January 2014, she was 1month pregnant then, although unknown to her. She traveled twice to the US that year, she also had her second baby there but not without writing a letter of change of intent to the embassy.
Her visa was canceled in 2015 when she took her first son to the embassy for his visa interview,she had the second baby with her, she was asked why she applied for only the first son, she told them she had the second one in the US and she had her own visa cancelled while her son was also denied visa.
She has applied twice since then and was denied.
Please what can she do at this point?

I was refused a student visa today as the 3rd time, today the oldest woman interviewed me, she asked the reason I changed my school, I told I never did, she said I did, she mentioned the name of d school previously written on her screen by the previous interviewer. I swear to God who made me, I have never heard the name of the school she mentioned. I never brought changed my school because of the research I'm interested in. I can give u my sevis number on demand to help verify. Same old sevi's number I used for the three attempt. This is so painful.

Thanks.

We encourage applying earlier rather than later for this very reason, so no, it's not too early to apply. For technical questions, ask the call center.

CANCELLED and CANCELLED WITH PREJUDICE means a valid visa has been revoked and cancelled in the system so that the applicant cannot enter the United States or travel.

CANCELLED WITHOUT PREJUDICE is done to all expired visas when received by the Embassy/Consulate. It is also done to the old visa when applying to renew within the same visa class, regardless of whether it is expired since you cannot have two concurrently valid visas for the same visa class.

That sounds like a technical issue. Contact the call center.

If you are a student who hasn't been denied a visa in the last six months, you can request an emergency appointment.

For a third time since May 2016, you were found to be unqualified for a student visa. Please read the letter given to you explaining the refusal.

Pls what is my chance of getting my visa renewed in the future? Would I be denied because I didn't make use of the initial visa that was issued for me?

Please Consular and memeber in the house am trying to fill the DS-160, for my family of four, am getting a little confuse on "TRAVEL COMPANIONS INFORMATION" please on the picture attached which is the right method please i need answer

Please sorry for my question and putting image.

Hi VO, my question is on drop box application. I noticed that the earlier clause of ''no more than two years prior to re issuance'' is now four years on the US visa website. Has it been extended now? My family and i were issued visas in Nov 2013 does it mean we are still qualified for drop box application?





To qualify for the DHL Drop Box Visa Renewal Program, visa applicants must be applying to renew either a B1/B2, an F, an L, or an H visa. They must satisfy all of the following criteria for their visa class. If applying as a group or family, all members must fulfill each criteria to use the program.

The applicant principally resides in Nigeria;

The applicant was issued a two-year B1/B2 United States visa;
The visa expired no more than two years prior to reissuance
The applicant was at least 14 years old at the time of the last issuance or will be under the age of 14 at the time of reissuance; and
The applicant has never been arrested nor had an encounter with law enforcement, customs, or immigration officials in the United States.


For B1/B2 visa holders:
• The applicant is a Nigerian passport holder; if not a Nigerian passport holder, the applicant principally resides in Nigeria and their last visa was issued in Nigeria;
• The applicant’s last visa interview resulted in an issuance;
• The applicant was issued a two-year B1/B2 United States visa;
• The visa expired no more than four years prior to reissuance;
• The applicant was at least 14 years old at the time of the last issuance or will be under the age of 14 at the time of reissuance; and

VO, Thanks for your valuable contributions on this platform..My question, i intend to travel with my brother in law to the US. I have visited the US before in 2014 but he has not travelled before. We are going for his Sister's 25 years ordination as a rev sister. Do we apply as family since we are travelling together and on same date? I will appreciate your valuable advice. Thank you.
