Hi Guys, Please do we have the usual delay getting F (student visa) visa appointment as we have with visit visa? I got admitted into GWU & I am required to make a non refundable deposit of $3k by June 6. Any chance of getting interviewed before June 6? |

Hello All I made visa payment in July 2021 for myself, wife and kid. I try looking for date since then, I couldn't. Is this Visa fee still valid in 2023? It will be 2years in July 2023 since I made payment. Thanks in anticipation for replies.

Good morning, please can one renew a visa for a child alone, without both parents applying with her through Drop box? If yes, what are the steps to take? Thanks🙏🏽 N.B. Both parents do not qualify for Dropbox but the child does. |

*please house can someone living abroad be your sponsor? And will they be asking for statement at the Embassy?* I was invited for a conference but I have some relatives who are willing to sponsor it. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by millyscent: 2:42pm On May 25, 2023 |
LawyerBB: They don’t ask for statements…they will ask who is sponsoring your trip tho. Choose your answer carefully cos it will lead to the next question. |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by JohnZak: 4:43pm On May 25, 2023 |
If you are in Nigeria, you will have to apply for a student visa (F1 visa) at the embassy/consulate. If in the US, you will file a form 1-593, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant status, with USCIS and submit supporting documents. You will a receive a Notice of Action from USCIS stating whether your application has been approved or denied. This where it may get tricky. If your NOA is approved, your school may still request that you leave the US to apply for an FI visa from an American embassy/consulate and return to the US in F1 status. My school required all international students to be admitted into the US in F1 status except they were seeking asylum. They needed this F1 visa information in order to update each students SEVIS record. For some other schools, the approval NOA will suffice, and you do not need to leave and return to the US in F1 status. You can ask your school if admission in F1 status is mandatory. If you have to leave and apply for an F1 visa after receiving the NOA approval, there is still a risk you may be denied an F1 visa because the visa officer may perceive that the student visa was your ultimate goal all along and you used the visitor visa to circumvent the system. USCIS may also deny your I593 application and cancel your visitor visa. If they do not cancel your visitor visa, your decision to change visa status while in the US may adversely affect future US visa applications. In conclusion, yes, you can change your visa status but weigh the pros and cons. Good luck! Dansakimotors: 2 Likes |

Eriokanmi: Just tot to share my good news here After seeing "Refused", I was patiently waiting to get back my passport and start the 221g journey Surprisingly today, I checked the portal and discovered it has changed to "Approved" since 2 days ago....Checked again this evening and it is now "Issued".... No followup interview, No 221g slip....everything just happened normally. I really thank God for this... Wondering how I will answer the "Have you bn refused a US visa before" during future applications 5 Likes |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by JohnZak: 4:56pm On May 25, 2023 |
If you are in the US, you do not need to renew an expired F1 visa, provided that you have a valid I20. You will only have to renew if you travel outside the US. You should not give your documents to a family member to submit for you in Nigeria while you are in the US. You will get into a lot of trouble because the visa will show that it was issued in Nigeria but you won't have an arrival/departure record from the US for the period that the visa was issued in Nigeria. There is no need to jeopardize your status in the US. If you want to renew your visa, you can easily renew it in Canada or Mexico. Many foreign students do it all the time. I have personally done it three times when I was a student. It is pretty straightforward and hassle-free provided you have all your documents. BlessedABee: Hemingway: Hello everyone, I am currently in the US. I finished my Masters and got a Ph.D. I am now qualified for the interview waiver to renew my expiring visa. My question is, can I give my documents to a family member or friend to drop them off since I don't have to appear for an interview? Coming to Nigeria to drop off my documents is not ideal because I have to attend classes, and it takes two months to get feedback. Can I authorize someone to drop it off and pick it up on my behalf? Any helpful advice will be appreciated 🙌🏾 1 Like |

I planned going on visit to the US Dec 13,2023. When I tried scheduling my appointment,I was pushed to Jan 2025 for appointments. Pls what do I need to do because it seems the appointment date is not aligning with my travel plans. How do I change the appointment date from 2025 to 2023? Urgent response pls |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by flourishing247: 12:25am On May 27, 2023 |
Handey: That's the current date. A lot of people are on the wait list. Select it ASAP before it moves to march 2025. You can reschedule if you find a nearer date. 1 Like |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Tkulthenoble: 5:48am On May 28, 2023 |
Hi my people, please I have a question and a bit worried about asnwering VO regarding relatives in the state as my inetrview is next month. I dont have any immediate relative in the US so when I was filling my DS-120 in january I put a friend I met virtually. she invited me to her wedding last year but coudnt make it to the wedding due to lack of interview slot and all that here in dubai. So my bottom line I cant remember what exactly I filled in the relative in the US maybe yes or no. If VOs ask me if I have any relative in the US what do you think I should answer as I cant remember what I filled but I remeber that I put this my friend I met virtually all her details and her husband's details as someone I know in the state. Thank you justwise: |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Dansakimotors: 9:00am On May 28, 2023 |
Sorry bro !! Thats why i always advise keeping the archive of your application before submitting. I aways do . (i have the 2012, 2018 and even the 2023 application stored in my mail box). The 1st time i was issued Visa was in 2013 after 4 attempt. I wld remember while i was with the VO she did make inquiry on some of my answers in my previous application. Meaning, they all have your responses stored in their archives. Thats why i aways advice people to be as truthful as possible (as truth can never be wrong) and if you have to lie, stick with the lie cos all your responses are stored for future references. Since you cant remember, just be prayerful that the VO attending to you is not that detailed. Wish you all the best bro. Tkulthenoble: 3 Likes |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by M6ix: 10:43am On May 28, 2023 |
I would say no since there are no immediate relatives. Plus saying yes may lead to further questions that you may not have answers to. Tkulthenoble: 1 Like |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Tkulthenoble: 11:45am On May 28, 2023 |
Thats my prayer also for them not to ask any questions regarding relatives. Thank you Dansakimotors: |
