Hi comrades,

First thank you for all the work you all do in sharing information. With threads like this, nobody ever needs a visa agent.


What can I do to get a visa date earlier than the late September I have? I’ve seen some suggestions for applying for an emergency appointment — how do I go about this? With emergency appointments, I wonder if anyone knows the turnaround time.

This is super super helpful. Thank you very much.

Final question please. How do I find out more about the certified group to join for dates? Is there anyone I can speak to?

Thank you.

Hey 🤠


1. On the day of your visa interview , the consular officer would stand in front of you and be typing on a computer while asking you questions , the page he opened on that computer is your DS -160.

2. Therefore , you should not have more than 10 munites to defend yourself verbally why you think you qualify for the visa . The helper that will do the remaining talking for you is what the consular is reading on your DS-160 page.

3. Go and fill another DS-160 and input the necessary changes in your overall profiles and discard the old one. Besides , you don't start talking stories that the consular did not ask you to analyse.

4. For the group , look out for the group that is authorised by the admin of Nairaland . Don't join any external group.

Hi.

I filled my USA visa DS-160 form February 2023 and was given an appointment date for much later in August 2024.

I’m fine with waiting for the appointment date. But my question now is that some things have changed since I filled the form. Good changes though. I work for a different company now. I earn much more than I did then. My travel history has expanded by about 8 more countries since then.

What do I do? Do I need to fill another DS-160 or can I use the old one and explain to the interviewer? Please let me know.

I’m also looking for link to group that gives date updates so I can try and get an earlier date. Thank you so much!!
