OyoTunjiUSA:


Hey 🤠

1. It is only recommended officially to fill your main VISA Application (DS-160) before proceeding with the scheduling of your appointment, because you will need to input your DS-160 confirmation number in the process.
Although, you can use ongoing (the ds-160 that you saved uncompleted) DS-160 confirmation number to finish the task of scheduling an appointment, and go back to the DS-160 later.

2. Clear your browser history, restart your phone or computer and log back to AVITS.
Your user account will display the calendar with available appointments (dates) , or the Interview Waiver ( IW ) confirmation. Just click on the " Pending Appointment Request on your dashboard in order to continue.

Best Wishes 🙏

i don’t have any ds 160 un completed, because i hadn’t started filling any ds 160 before now, i just tried what you said about clearing browser history but it’s still showing the same things , it’s not moved on. any advice now?

@oyotunjiusa please i need advice on this portal, i paid the mrv fee before the new update and first week in september i got an activation link to log into my account, i logged in but i have not been able to do anything on there as it’s been showing pending appointment request on my dashboard, however i haven’t filled or submitted my ds160, so do you think the problem could be from the fact that i don’t have any ds 160 filled / submitted yet?

Good day everyone.

I applied for an F1 visa and paid visa fee before august 16,2024. Gt Bank was still being used as at that time. So I went on with my appointment process and was in pre approval stage. However, the pre approval link was sent to my mail weeks after the website has been changed (sept 2) and so when I wanted to enter the payment mode I used, there was no GTB on the new website. It has been changed to first bank. I was informed by my agent that another mail will be sent to me as regards that but I haven’t received any mail. Does it take this long? Or is there something else I can do? Please, I really need your advice. I have deferred once so now my admission is for January, 2025. So I have just now till December to get an appointment. Awaiting your reply plssss. Thank you

is it showing you “pending appointment request “or you’ve been able to fill forms and it’s just payment that’s left?

The pending appointment is clickable, click it and proceed with your application and payment

UPDATE:
This is an update in case of anyone facing similar issue. Mine reflected this morning and it's now in the pre-approval stage. It took them over two weeks to process.
Things I did which I don't know if helped was creating a ticket with my complain and attaching my payment receipt and also sending them an email with my complaints and receipts.

how long did it take for them to respond to your ticket?, what’s their email address?? my account has been showing pending appointment request since first week of september and i don’t know what to do..
