Please I’m interested in the new group too
Can’t access the link either

Interview waiver submission takes 3days for the decision to be made if you have checked your status at ceac and it says issued or refused and after 2days you have not received a mail to pick up your passport kindly proceed to DHL your passport is already there I submitted on the 3rd of February and my visa was issues on the 8th I picked up from DHL on the 10th and I never got an email for pick up.

If your visa says refused then it has been refused if it doesn't say anything and it has been like that for over 5days proceed to DHL to check for your passport you might be required to submit extra documentation

Dear Nairalnad Family,

Please has anyone booked for a J1 visa? (I am the J1 while my wife and kid are applying for J2 visas)? I have been making effort to book an interview but not working - showing me error messages. I will appraciate if I can get any help.

I called a number (+23494614000) I found online and was directed to call another number (+23412278955) and it has been singing song for over 2 hours now.
I have a start date of JUNE 6th 2022.
Need advise as to how to go about this process before my start date elapses

@pepes I went today to DHL and they said it was not there yet which is 2 days after issuance date.

Thanks for this info, I will try again tomorrow

@Cutelass - 2 mails? Wow!

@peeps, kindly help with how to get IW appointment date.

thank you

So what I discovered is the dates are only open for 1 week so for February it was opened from 1st to the 4th

For March it was opened from the 28th of Feb to the same 3rd of March and the dates pop up randomly, since Friday nondat has been opened which means all dates a re fully booked.

As at 3rd of March date opened was March 22nd.

We would have to wait till March 31st since that's the pattern. For us to get April dates.

Had a baby with my last visa. Spent 2 months
Travelled after a year , spent a month.

That was my second US visa though. Previous was used for vacation.

Didn’t submit with any other documents- just what was requested- confirmation page, visa receipt, appointment letter.

All the best people.

Hello Gigli, congratulations.

Please confirm what documents you included when submitting your passport. Did you have to include your receipts, itemized bill etc?

My case is similar to yours and your response to this would help guide me accordingly.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Please, does that means those refused are to go get a new visa fee and schedule a regular interview or reschedule a followup appointments with the previous visa fee receipt?

Hello guys, my IW status states refused “ a consular has adjudicated etc…And I just got a mail to pick up my document . Does it mean I have to reapply or I will get a follow-up interview email? Please help.

You'll schedule a follow up appointment.
When you pick up your passport, there will be a form stating what documents you need to provide to explain your case.
No need to pay new visa fees or schedule a regular appointment

There’s are a lot of us in this category, until you pick up we cannot tell , but from the past you are likely to go for follow up interview.
Please keep us posted , when did you submit your application.

[quote author=MaryAndrews post=110829558]Please did you also send a change of intent email before travelling for childbirth?

Yes I did. Sent an email I was going to have my baby and got the regular response saying it’s not illegal to have a baby in the US once all your bills are paid.

You'll schedule a follow up appointment.
No need to reapply
They just need further information or documentation from you to decide your case.
Wait till you pick up your passport. There'll be instructions enclosed.

Reapplication is for "denied" visas
