1. Yes if the system allows and accept your booking. But you must go and fill another Lagos- oriented DS -160 to match up. Then take both new and old DS-160s along on the day of your appointment.

Good day here, please anyone who also experienced “preapproval request processing” after payment on the new portal,

Please how long did it take?

jubrilar:
Hello house, Please I need your advise,

I want to apply b1b2 for my wife and my two kids. I HV been to US and Canada once and my visa is still valid. How will I go about it and what are there chances in getting the visa

* You will be charged in USD if you use card to pay. Paying with card (if successful) is the fastest, and allows you to continue with your appointment booking , almost immediately after payment confirmation.
However, first bank payment option is kind of most efficient, though might take 24 hrs to approve your payment.

2. You will open AVITS profile for one of them , and book appointment for them separately on the same profile, as there is no more group bookings. The remaining is a game of luck and calculation in using the 3 - Reschedule lifeline to match their dates.

3. You will chose payment option on AVITS first. If you chose bank payment, you will have to print out the payment guide (to be tender physically in the bank) , and proceed with the payment . You have to visit AVITS and chose payment option before proceeding with the payment.

SexyDuby:
Pls what is the new process to apply for a B1/B2 visa now. I've been reading and it's so confusing with other people's experience.
How does the payment work? I see a lot of people saying to pay at First Bank
Do I still fill the DS-160 form then go to the AVIS/OIS website?
Can someone pls share the process to start the application, make payment and pick a physical interview date

Dear Writer,

Please follow these steps.

1. Fill out a DS-160 form, taking note of your application reference number.

2. Go to the AVITS website and register as a new user. you should receive an email from them within 2 days with your login details.

3. Using the details sent to you via email, create an account with AVITS.

4. On your profile, start an application, answering all the questions including the questions that would ask if your last application was a rejection and if you have been to the USA before.

5. Your answer to step #4 will determine if you would be invited for an interview or you will drop off your passport.

6. You would be required to pay your visa fees which can be via card or cash. Note that you would need a USD denominated card for this or follow the link and pay online through First Bank Plc.

7. Should you pay via First Bank, you would need to wait for 24hrs for your payment to be recognized, relogin and conclude your pending application. Note: Card payments are instant, and you can conclude the process in 1 sitting.

8. Should your application be successful, your passport will be dropped off at the embassy.

9. Create a profile with OIS to track your passport and schedule a pickup using the OIS platform. From the 5th of October, a pickup fee will be charged.

10. I wish you all the best!

Good evening everyone. Please I confused on how to go about somethings on this DS160.

I will be staying at a hotel in NY on arrival for 2 day before the cruise-ship and from there to the cruise-ship from NY to Brahmas and back to NY. The cruise ship will last 7 days. And I will be back to the hotel again for 5 more days. Which I will use for shopping and other site seeing.

Now my problem is. I was asked. Locations I will be visiting in the state when I visit.

Should I list each state the cruise ship will be passing through or I just need to input the hotel and then cruise ship then hotel again. But all in same NY.


Please I hope I get answer for this. Thanks

Bsihdjn:


Well regarding the drop off at OIS office and not getting a tracking ID,they said you ain't suppose to get one.

Just keep checking your appointment.oisservices to know when your passport gets to theoffice

harma:
Hello everyone please I need help ooo.
I had an IW appointment that was reschedule automatically to August 2024 from my initial appointment date in Nov 2024 by the US consulate.

However I was unable to drop off my documents at the time due to work obligation. And was unable to reschedule another date as instructed in the email sent to me, because the old system became unavailable.

I am yet to get an email from the new service provider to migrate to the new portal.

What should I do, I still have my MRV intact on the old portal.

It's been 3 weeks since the new portal has been up, and I am yet to get the migration email.

Thanks

1. The date assigned to you by the US embassy is of utmost importance, because that is when they expect you to appear or go and drop your VISA application. OIS date should not be more relevant than that of the USA embassy, except , if the USA embassy has entered into an agreement with OIS, thereby accepting OIS dates to override.

PS: Call both organisations to verify.

PS: The sending of IW qualification email applies to especially , new applicants, and since the embassy says, those with previous appointments still have their appointments recognised, then you may go ahead without waiting for the qualification email.

PS: All IW VISA applicants should also note that, the USA embassy can summon them for physical interviews, despite having qualified for IW, IF NEED BE.

Hello Bosses,

This talks about OIS/DHL please I don't understand, can someone please explain to me?

Is it meant for those who are first timers or those with IW or for all? I have an interview in a few months and I'm a first timer, do I need OIS?

I'll appreciate.
Thanks in advance

primusmaximus:


Thanks, OyoTunjiUSA, for all the support. One final question please: How long does it usually take for a passport to appear on the OIS website for pick-up? My status on Ceac.state.gov changed to 'issued' some days back.

I have not received a single email from Avits, Ceac, or OIS since I started this visa renewal process two weeks ago. There is also nothing in my spam folder.

naivasha:
Thank you for this step-by-step guide. Really informative.

For #8 below, is dropoff at the embassy or at OIS? I am referring to IW by the way.

naivasha:
Since you are going to have an interview, that interview will take place at the US consulate. If at the interview your application is successful, they will take your passport in order to print the visa. Once your passport is ready, collection will be at OIS.
