tzetzefly:

A passport must be valid for travel to the United States with a validity date at least six months beyond your intended period of stay in the United States.

Go for a re-issuance of your travel document.

Not to be disrespectful to u tzetzefly in any way but my sister got a f1 visa with less than 6months validity on her passport. And she was given two years. The NIS people wouldn't even issue a passport that's not expiring in less than 6months

Edit: i was wrong, my sister was just lucky.

tzetzefly is actually correct. Your sister's case might just be a lucky exception. Most people who tried applying with passports with less than 6 months validity were refused visas and told to go get another passport.

even at that, she can not fly with that passport which the visa was approved in. The Airlines also stick to these principle as part of flight condition. So advice your sister to go get her passport re-issued.

I thought so too. Better safe than sorry. . .

How are you these days? Wifey and baby? Regards

Phema:

I hope you don't mind if I respond to this. . .

My husband's statement of account and mine also had different addresses from the one we stay now and I was granted effortlessly. That is not a problem at all.

Goodluck in you interview.

Thanks ma'am

Oh wow, she's really lucky then. I should have added this was early this year like January.

She got another passport before travelling... This happened january.
But I think the person who asked said next year 2015? That's like a year?

How can a person undergoing his NYSC present his/herself at the interview when asked ''what do you do?''

Does undergoing NYSC prohibit a person to travel out? if no;
How do you get a permission letter from NYSC to travel abroad?

Thanks, my other question refers; if asked what do you do? Can I tell them that I'm serving but have my permit.

@Tzetzefly Im confused whether there is policy which does not allow corpers to travel abroad.

Actually, yes. There is a policy stating that Corp members are not allowed to travel outside the country except there is a cogent reason. And a letter must be written to the embassy by NYSC stating this reason and permitting you to travel within a specific period of time.

Permit me to add my 2 cents.....
1. As regards where you will stay in the US, it should be a booked accomodation (if staying in a hotel)
2. US contact can be the organizers of the training u will be attending.

That's how my ds 160 form was filled as regards the info u seek. The gurus here should be able to shed more light on it for u though.

Phema: Just want to give back to this forum as you guys helped me prepare for my interview. Special thanks to tzetzefly

Had my interview today at the Abuja Consulate and it was a breeze! Was interviewed by the man at window 6. Here is the excerpt;

VO: Good morning Ma'am

Me: Morning Sir

VO: *Studies my DS 160 for like 30secs*. You're going to have your baby?

Me: Yes sir

VO: Can I've your documents from the hospital?

Me: Sure. *passes the letter of responsibility from Doctoresparati, PayPal payment confirmation for letter of responsibility and email correspondences*

VO: *Glances through and nods head*. Can I've have your statement of account?

Me: My hubby is the one sponsoring, so i came with his. *hands him hubby's statements of accounts*

VO: *Glances through again*. Is this your first baby?

Me: Yes sir

VO: Congratulations and safe delivery!

Me: Thank you sir.

VO: What does your husband do?

Me: He's a *** with ***

VO: *Continues nodding and smiling* When do you intend travelling?

Me: November 26th

VO: Your visa has been granted. Please, do travel with these documents you have shown me. You may be asked at the POE.

Me: *Smiling uncontrollably* Thank you very much Sir.

VO: Have a nice day Ma'am.

Me: You too Sir.

All this took less than 2 minutes. I had the shortest interview compared to every other person before me. Now, I'm wondering why in the world I was so bothered. Couldn't sleep well last night cos of the interview.

Lol. Like seriously, the night before I had these ginormous butterflies in my belly and my interview was about 2mins too. Mine was by the woman at window 7, window 6 man wasn't so 'friendly' like the others the day my interview took place.

Congrats on ur visa, wish u a lovely trip & the safest of deliveries ever.

@Tzetzefly Im confused whether there is policy which does not allow corpers to travel abroad.

Yes you should tell them you are serving and you have taken permission to travel, or if your trip is like 4 months away or more you can say you will take permission from your lgi if you get the visa. If you are a teacher, make sure u plan to travel during the holidays. That's what my friend told me he did, can't be too sure.


Phema has answered your second question perfectly.
