Hello VO,

My visa was approve and issued in June 2017. Am visiting my friend for 4weeks.
On my DS 160 form, my arrival date is August and departure is September 2017.
But unfortunately, my leave at work has just been prosponed from August to November because of some emergencies that just came up at work.

Do i need to send an email to the US embassy to inform them about change in my travel date and month or just proceed with my new travel plan in November?


Regards.

Hello Guys,

Got my visa on June 6th 2017 (7:30am) at the Lagos US Embassy. I was denied in Abuja in 2015 when i applied for a business conference.

I must state here, I have learn a lot from this thread. Intending Applicants should go through this thread from the beginning to the end, so they can learn from other people's experience. Its Ok to be panic when you see the crowd inside the Embassy, but keep calm and focus on your application.
