Bami26:
I want to apply for Abuja
But the nearest date is November 16th
And there’s no emergency request on my profile anymore.

You have to choose a regular date before it appears

vickysunmomi:



When did you apply and is there regular date?

Regular dates available are in OCT/NOV.

I applied for emergency and I am waiting for their response

jojoey:


How far? Has Lagos Embassy responded to you

No.

I canceled my appointment and applied at Abuja

Chiezzh:
Visa approved this morning ! Abuja

Congratulations!

geofortress:


You can only schedule twice on one MRV fee.
So if you change to a date in Abuja from Lagos, then you would have exceeded to two possible scheduling.

I knew some one that paid 2 MRV to get a date in Abuja last week. He rescheduled 4 times until he get a closer dates. Abuja though.

I’ve been monitoring too.
Last time, I saw October 16

Can someone let me know when there are regular dates (July or August) in Abuja?

Please!

Hallelujahvoice:





You need to be careful about the number of times you check the calendar...else you'll be blocked out for about 72hours.
There's a limit to the number of times you can check.

Oh!

Thanks a lot!

Hello?
Good day!

I applied for an expedited date at the Lagos Embassy, and I’m yet to receive an email or any notification on my portal of an approval.

But I’ve been visiting the ‘reschedule appointment’ tab, and it’s now telling me that I’m approaching the maximum number of times I can visit the tab. Please, what does this mean? Is there even a maximum number?

And I noticed there are now earlier dates as 23 November 2021, as against 4 January 2024 that was available when I applied.

EmmyteeTosin:
I have seen people have that issue and got approved..i also have that on mine aswell

Thank you really!
That was helpful.

I don’t know if anyone had this issue and what the consulate later asked them to do:

The name in my UStraveldocs profile doesn’t have my middlename unlike my DS-160 and passport.

I have called and I was asked to proceed with my application and go for my interview and I’d either be told what to do at the interview or if I can proceed like that.

Did anybody have a similar case?
How did it go?

EmmaChe:
+23412278955

Thank you!!!
But it was this same number I called.
Or did I choose the wrong option.

EmmaChe:
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?

Please, can I have the number you called?

jojoey:


He doesn’t need to chill oo..some people got approved in a very short time. So maybe you should contact them.

Can you help me with their contact?
Cos I’ve been calling a particular number I saw on the CGI site and no one is taking my calls.

Ayobamichemical:


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 your reply.

Since you’ve not booked an appointment at Lagos yet, just go on and book at Abuja. You’re good to go. It doesn’t matter. this information is on their website but I don’t have the link handy.

But I know you can go on and book at Abuja.

Hemstone:
Please my start date is August 23rd and I initaited emergency early this morning (June 23rd) and up until now it has not been approved. Please what could be the reason?

You need to chill… I initiated since 17th and my start date is 6th August and I’m yet to get a reply.

Hemstone:
Please my start date is August 23rd and I initaited emergency early this morning (June 23rd) and up until now it has not been approved. Please what could be the reason?

I applied on the 17th of June and my program starts 6th August. I’m yet to receive an approval

UAVdrones:
Is there anyone who recently request for emergency appointment at the lagos consulate and got an approval?

If you find, please, let me know.

Prosnelson:

More than

It’s been 3 days since I applied for an emergency date (Lagos Consulate). What should I do?

Prosnelson:

More than

Please, it’s past 3 days since I applied for an emergency date (Lagos), and I’m yet to get a reply.

What do I do?

Hallelujahvoice:




Don't let this delay discourage you.
If you had read through this part 16, you'd have seen people advise that you don't say anything different from what you have on your i-20 and DS-160.
You either defend it (convincingly) or input what's correct.

When you received your i-20 and saw that your school put yourself as your sponsor (personal funds) and you were prepared with your dad as your sponsor, you could've sent an email to your school to correct the mistake and classify it under 'family funds'.


Secondly, from the knowledge gained here, I can say that the VO isn't concerned about the volume of transactions but the start balance and particularly the closing BALANCE.
I learnt they see deposit of lump sums as red flags (expect you can defend them convincingly).
Remember, this is assumed to be the money you'll use for the payments over there.
The balance should be equal to or greater than your deficit.

If the balance of your account is 2m and it's less than your deficit, that might be a problem.

Sometimes, you're not even asked to show your SOA.

Your question about filling a new DS-160...I don't know how that works for a second Application. I'll allow those more experienced to make inputs.




You mind sharing your transcript so others can see if there are other areas you need to work on?

In all, Prepare well, pray well.

Can't wait to see your approval testimony soonest.

Wish you grace

I emailed my school concerning stating my uncle's support as personal funds and the screenshot was her reply.

It’s perhaps the inconsistency in his DS-160.

Davidkking:
it shouldn't be a problem. Schools WRITE I20's differently

Okay.
Thanks a lot!

Lagos1000:


No. It doesn’t matter in as much you can afford or pay for your deficit. Go ahead and get your visa approval.

A Sponsor is a sponsor

On this note, I’d like to ask:

My uncle is funding my deficit, but my I-20 is says ‘personal funds’.
Please, I hope this won’t be an issue?

I have also contacted my immigration officer at school and she’s insisting that it’s how they do it. I am bothered because I’ve seen an I-20 saying ‘Family Funding’

omokennyoguns20:
Please when did you apply?

I applied last Thursday, 17th June.

EkemNgo:
I was misguided and so even before my F I-20 got to me, I made a request from the school to send me my sevis number and school code throughh the advice of someone. So after the payments, I applied for visa and the interview dates showed 4th January 2024 whereas my start date is August 15, the same person asked me to apply for emergency visa without telling me that I would need to upload my sevis receipt and i20 which by the way I haven't gotten them. So I filled the emergency request page and uploaded only my admission letter, till date no response. Right now I'm confused because I just learnt that it's the f i20 that I was supposed to attach. Pls what do I do now

I also applied for an emergency date recently and attached all documents but I have not gotten a response till now.

Although you’re meant to attach your SEVIS reciept, I don’t think that’s why you’ve not gotten a response. They’ve just not attended to your request.
