Yes you can.
But when you arrive at the embassy for interview, you won't be attended to the moment it gets to your turn, because they will direct you where they will first pull up your data from Lagos before handing you back your DS160. This can take few minutes. Then you go back to the queue for interview.

I picked Lagos as my preferred location on the ds160 and picked Abuja for my interview because there is an earlier date, I hope there is no problem?
Can I use this ds160 form for my interview? Thanks

it won’t cost you to fill in the right location
why do Nigerians like complicating things for themselves when they hold you now it’s please please you would be saying just do the right thing and let it go smooth

I noticed people always asking they filled ds160 In Lagos and want to have the interview in Abuja vice versa.. it won’t cost you anything to fill a new one where you chose as your interview location.. don’t complicate things for yourself even if it’s not complicated… if the person checking sends you back now you would start begging

That’s how they almost sent a friend of mine back because he said he lost his passport and didn’t bring police report and was only with his new passport…the woman who was checking said what if he had something to hide from them he would have also brought a police report for loss of passport
Before he begged from heaven to earth and she allowed him
This was at Abuja embassy so please everyone avoid trouble….

I’m tried, I’m unable to update my profile with a new ds160. I posted about it some hours ago for help on it so I needed an alternative which he provided and I’ve also read on the traveldocs website that it’s possible. If you have a better solution please provide

I had to pick Abuja because there was a closer date

I did same thing too...i think as it stands now, you can fill a new Abuja ds160 to avoid complications and upload it like i just did since theres always chance for that 72 hours to interview

Hello, please I want you to explain how to go about filling new DS form for Abuja. My current DS-160 confirmation print has Lagos, but appointment date is January 4,2024. But I found an early date for Abuja.

Is there any implication?
I'm yet to book an appointment for Lagos though?
Would I be paying new visa fee?
Thanks for you reply.

Reposting this:

I made a mistake in my passport number and it has already been attached to an mrv fee. Called the phone number of the embassy and they mentioned that they can't change it because it has been attached to an mrv fee. They said i should print it and take it to mý appointment and explain to the consular office what happened.

Has this happened to anyone before, what did you do?

I think you should update the correct number on ur cgi portal

Hello everyone, I'm new here, I just want to start my F1 visa application, please I need tips on the filling of DS-160 form so as to avoid errors and also tips to have a strong visa application. I read the testimonies and my hope was restored because I'm kinda scared because all I hear is denial denial and denial� But I know my case would be different and I would come back here to share my testimony very soon. Thank you.

I submittedmy DS-160, my SEVIS and appointment confirmation. But currently I haven't received any emergency date, I still see dates from October 6, 2021 can't seem to understand why, meanwhile school resumes in August. Help someone, please.

You know the reason you are switching. I think if you can explain it with the right expression, you shouldn’t have a problem. The VOs are humans too, they just want to be sure that you are a credible student

AOJA:
Good day my people, I have been a member of this group since January and I will say kudos to the admin and every member of this group, they have been helpful in one way or the other. Although I joined this group because of my sister that is planning to go to the US for Spring 2022.

A friend of mine that I introduced to this group called me last week Friday that she hasn't gotten back her passport since her interview day on the 3rd of June, she said she was sent an email that her passport is ready for pick up, I advised her to be patient that she would get it soonest maybe her pick up location has some challenges with getting it from Lagos.

What forced me to post here today was that, I asked her this afternoon how far and she said she hasn't gotten the passport till date which amazed me because I know DHL is very good and they don't disappoint, the location she chose was DHL Akure and for the times she had been there they said they haven't received any passport.

So I would like to ask the house what can i advise her to do.

NB-She has started class for the spring semester online already ��.

And she had booked her flight to travel for next weekend�.

Please treat as urgent �

Thank you all

Hello @Aoja has she gotten her passport from Akure DHL and how long did she wait to get it? Seems Akure DHL office has been delaying pick-ups.

Akure doesn't delay pickups. They communicate via email when passport is ready for pickup. Track your passport via Cgi page to know if it has been received for delivery. You should get it in 4-5 business days from approval.
