@OyoTunjiUSA and every other active members, Thank you immensely for what you do.

Enquiries:

For application within the UK to visit USA on B1/B2 visa, is it advisable to have specific travel plans and must one have a contact person in the US. For an applicant that is ONLY interested in 1 week tourist visa.

Also whats the ideal average duration of stay?

To be honest, this might be tricky because it seems like they didn't have any record of it until I actually uploaded the appointment letter. However, i would still recommend trying. 1st create a ticket and secondly call customer service also and see if they can escalate it for you. Mine took about 24 hours to get changed back. Goodluck

So you were able to get back your more recent rescheduled interview date after they changed it?
My interview is in a week, so this gives me hope. I already raised a ticket, uploaded my interview confirmation and chatted with them and they said they will escalate it.
Since you got your newer date back, I hope they give me my date back too.
Did you have to do anything else?

Hello bro.
Please I need your advice.
I have us visit visa and have applied for my wife and two kids also. They have the same date for interview by December.
Is it advisable for three of them to go for the interview same day? Or I should split it? Wife different day from kids. So that I will use the kids as home tie for my wife and the kids for her. Since the three going same day will look as if we may not want to come back

Big boy like you too wan japa?

Hey there! Welcome to part 5 of this thread. It's time for new beginnings as old things pass away. Even though the information from Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 is still invaluable and should be read by any serious applicant. Part 2 was especially amazing, with lots of wonderful people offering great advice in their unique styles. You guys rock!!! You know who you are.

Happy reading and good luck to all the honest visa seekers!

It is good to have specific travel plans because that will make your trip a directional trip. Not having a travel plans makes your trip to the United States a probable journey, which means you are not even sure and not really expecting the visa.

You must have a contact person in the United States and that contact person can be the person who invited you, the head of business you are visiting, a medical doctor, etc. But if you are going on personal vacation or holiday, contact person may not be necessary.

2 weeks is okay for your trip but if you want to go and spend your work-leave 4 weeks is the maximum.

Anyone the embassy can verify. The United States embassy have seen different versions. Genuine documents/credentials is what they are after .

Hello. You cannot use physical ideas or application strategies to win or secure American visa. You can only use the strategies and ideas of following the rules and regulations of the visa.

Therefore, let your family apply for their visas in the same day. If they are qualify the visas shall be issued.

In the real sense of it, only children back home in Nigeria cannot satisfy the consular's ties 100% score mark because your family or relatives are there to take over their upkeeps even if you failed to return to Nigeria .

Thanks very much.

Would you be leaving your job? Tho that’s dependent on whether your wife and kids get their own visa too…

Just know it’s hard getting a job in the United States with a B1 visa..hopefully you have everything in place to make this easy. I understand your challenges. May God ease your affairs.

* You are focusing on OIS , what about AVITS ?

1. When your VISA processing is completed, you will receive the documents back with the delivery option chosen during your application process. You may however, change your preferred document delivery address online until 11:59pm a day prior to your interview or through the call center between 9am to 5pm a day prior to your interview.

2. You cannot change your VISA pick up location again, and if at all you want to, you must go and sign up and do that on AVITS, and also go and do same on OIS. Both AVITS pick up location and OIS location chosen by you must tally.

PS: Go and open a profile on AVITS and verify your VISA status first. That is your official and No-1 USA embassy electronic Résumé.

🙏

We've had an attestation and certificate of birth issued by NPC being rejected by NVC as invalid document. So at this point it's confusing to know the version they are accepting.

Anyone used the below certificate of birth recently?

Please how did you resolve it?

I chatted with their customer service to resolve the issue. They asked for my full name / date of birth / passport number / email address. I received an email few hours later to activate my AVIST account.

Go to the local government to get the old version. Lagos state has the old version which you can get through the local government. My brother got one at Mushin Local Government

1. I did not state that you belong to any. It was a sample reference, indicating 221g scenarios. Well, you never can't tell because the USA embassy will not tell you if you happen to answer same name with a wanted criminal or terrorist. Nobody is clean, once put on 221g - administrative process , aka background checks.

🙏

Good evening, Boss,

Please I have a follow up question. My passport has still not been sent back despite my request. Therefore, I will attend the interview as scheduled by the embassy. Have you heard of a scenario where a visa is approved, and I can tell the officer to give me my passport? i can submit it for the stamp later, not immediately? I don't trust that my polite request to the officer for an expedited return will be honoured. They should give me the passport 1st, then i can submit it later.

what do you think about this Sir?
