Unlike F2 holders, J2 holders are allowed to work

That’s not until a permit is obtained when approved from USCIS. I know this because I was a j2 dependent in the past

[quote author=Messi4441 post=124757233][/quote]

J2 are dependents just like F2, whatever applies to one applies to the other

Just wondering, did you apply for expedited appointment last year when you didn’t get a date?

theHanafis:
Hi everyone!

I'm planning to travel to the State for a postdoc fellowship, and I'm made to understand that I'm to apply for a J1 visa. I see that there are some processing fees I need to pay for such as, SEVIS and application fee. Aside from this, are there other fees one need to pay for? Thanks

Just SEVIS and Visa application fee

Hello guys, I need someone to be brutally honest with me.

I was given admission into two schools for MSC Accounting, now the issue is:

Interview is in august the 17th. First school starts August 19th. School will not extend I-20 or give letter of extension to me. That is the same school I filled in my DS-160 form for visa interview. I also intend on going for the interview with my two kids both on F2.
Also, second school starts August 28th. What are my options?
Should I update my interview profile with the I-20 from the second school and go alone to the interview without my kids? because I can only update my profile with the new ds-160 number. It does not allow me to update my kids ds-160 forms in the online profile.
OR differ my admission to spring to properly get an earlier date and prepare for school.

I will appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

If you go with the last option, you can update your dependents DS 160 number on the cgi profile by calling them

Hello All, I just came across this thread and I need some advice.

I have been trying to get a date for US interview and finally got August 24, 2023 after months of searching. I would be 37 weeks gone by then. The Agent I am using has assured me that all things being equal if I get the visa, my passport should be out within 8 working days which means I have to travel immediately I pick up my passport.

My questions now is

Is it feasible to travel at 38 weeks plus!

Are there airlines who can carry a preggie who is that far gone? Fortunately for me, I don’t have a big bump.

What are the chances I wouldn’t be sent back at POE.

I’d also need recommendations of good hospitals in Houston Texas.

Depending on airline policies, Delta and air france don’t have strict policies on pregnant travelers.
Just make sure you get to the airport early so you can get fit to fly from port health because that’s what they will need.
Also, receiving passport from consulate after approval shouldn’t be up to 8 days. Got mine after 2 days

Sisib15:
I take God beg Una pls be careful o A friend of mine in the US just called that her friend (not someone I know personally) went for her interview today, she was self sponsored but the agent had edited her i-20 to show that she was funded by the school. She was granted the visa but it seems the VO checked the i-20 on his system after she left and realized there were two different things. They called her back using a public address system and the VO asked for her funding letter which she could not provide, he then collected her white paper, returned her passport /gave her 221g administrative processing letter and told her to send them the funding letter via the consulate email, ofcourse they will confirm from the school. I don’t think I need to tell you that this ll probably end in a visa ban. Agent is telling her to write email to school now to beg them for funding, even if it’s 5k.. see how crazy that sounds? He don commot hand. This will put the school, Nigerians in general, and even funded students on

Nigerian agents I hail oh 😮😮😮
Did he think they won’t check the i-20 before issuing the visa nii?
The lady was also aware, didn’t she check the i-20 to see it said there was funding when she knew there wasn’t?
This isn’t good for visa hopefuls, another level of scrutiny unlocked 😢

WOLEXGINO:
Hello All,
Please, I am new here and need a guidance on my B1/B2 Visa.

in 2017, I got my Visa with my wife and truth been told, we didn't know she was 2 weeks gone. We wrote to the embassy to inform them about our intention to use the visa for childbirth and they replied we can as long as we can defend our purpose at the port of entry. Fortunately, No question was asked related to this matter and was able to enter the US and deliver the baby. To cut the long story, Upon our application for renewal (Dropbox), the visa was denied under 221g and we went for the interview with the proof of payment (Zero Balance Letter) but was denied.

We have reapplied for our B1/B2 visa in 2023 and hoping to visit the embassy for an interview in November.

Please, is there anything we need to do to defend or proof our innocence? Although, I stayed 1 week for the first time in the US and stayed 2 weeks for the second visit while my wife stayed 3 months at a stretch and both left at the same time for Nigeria?

Please, we need professional advise on what to do during the interview.

Thanks a lot for your feedbacks. I would have started earlier looking for a dropbox date. But by answering "NO" to the question in the attached photo, I am told that I am not eligible for the dropbox. That's the reason I decided to wait until I arrive the country before applying.

If you’re going to be physically present to drop it off on the appointment date then you can click yes IMO

Ebizle:
Hello, I was given a 221g letter in December 2022 and my profile was enabled to schedule a follow-up interview in Jan 2023, but i haven't been able to book the appointment. Everytime I select a date, I get the error message "error loading visual page" . I have called severally, sent emails, still nothing. Pls is there anyone with similar issue and how did you resolve it. Thanks

Have you tried a different browser or device, incognito, cleared cache? Or use vpn.

Hello everyone, I have a friend that was given a job in US and want to apply for work visa. We will be needing your guidance here because we want to do it ourselves. I have some questions to ask
1. What are the documents that need to be taken to the VO?
2. What’s the total expenses for the application?
Thanks in anticipation

If you can get molfix, original one, you will enjoy it.

cutelass:


Why complicate records for the child this early in life; it simply means in the portion for “place of birth” what you have there is a Nigerian city…

I used the US birth certificate for my two children, it is where they are born and in the portion for “place of birth” they put “USA”. Any immigration officer insisting on NPC birth certificate does not know his/her job, meet another person. On second thought, the immigration officer could simply be referring to a federal govt issued birth certificate as against the ones given in our private hospitals here. Pls when renewing for your child, insist on using her real birth certificate…

They actually needed both the US and Nigerian one at the immigration office I did mine (Abuja)
The Nigerian one has USA as place of birth, so that works. No complications at all.

Ashen800:
Hello,

I am applying for a US tourist visa to visit a sibling in the US who is on a student visa as well. I'm in the UK for my masters. I have applied and gotten an interview date for July. In the employment section, I included my last two jobs in Nigeria. However, I didn't include my current part-time HCA role with the NHS. This is because, 1) the ds160 allows for only 2 jobs, 2)the HCA job is not my main reason for being in the UK, and 3) the site does not allow for indicating that any other job besides the primary occupation is currently ongoing. Meaning if I add the HCA job, it will be listed as a job I have left already.

Should I still add it ? The person I'm going to visit thinks it should be included and will increase my chances. Does this matter? If I decide to add it, I will have to create a new ds160 form, and reschedule my appointment. Also, I indicated I'm self funding. I plan to take along proof of my employment with the NHS and my payslips. I'm a first time applicant with no travel history except to the UK.

Any tips pls?

You don’t have to reschedule your appointment if you fill a new ds 160
Just update the number your cgi
Shalom

Abokyaly:
Dates will be released from time to time according to the embassy so we just keep checking.


If you don't mind...Could you please share the transcript of the interview? So others can learn or help to point out areas you need to improve before your next interview.

No date is going to be released anything, it’s not up to 6 months that they’ve been denied, hence why they can’t see dates. That’s the rule

Belovedbaby:
Mummies I am seriously crying here,I had my girl around 35weeks and she weighed 2.5kg when she was given her BCG.We went for our 6weeks appointment and I was told she weigh 2.5kg again.Though she's on formula and breast milk cus of my health for now.The hospital told me that since she feeds well,wet her diapers and stool regularly that there is no cause for alarm.Help me mummies,what should I do?
I seriously need help because I am down

Babies lose weight before they start gaining it back after being born, please don’t be down. As long as she’s having wet diapers and feeding well as you were told, it’s all good

Footballer754:


Ok thank you.
1) How did you get the passport in Nigeria? Did the passport office send to you via dhl to Nigeria?

2) I called Qatar airways and they confirm that the child can travel with only ETC without any passport.

No it was delivered to the US and i had it sent across to me in Nigeria

Footballer754:


Thank you for your reply

Pls I have some questions.
1) did u apply for the baby’s passport in US or Nigeria? There is no date available in Newyork.
Is it true that you can apply for a fresh US passport in Nigeria? The baby has SSN and birth certificate.
2) we booked Qatar airways. Is it ok?

US passport was applied for in the US, even though we used the expedited option it still didn’t get to us before we traveled. The embassy in Nigeria is only for renewal I think, not fresh applications.
There’s a faster option than the expedited where you get the passport the same day/next day I think it’s more expensive and handled by private passport agencies, though the application has to be within 2 to 3 weeks of travel back so you’ll need your return ticket information.
Qatar will have a layover at doha, i’m not sure if it’s possible to board without baby’s passport since it’s a direct flight, but you can call their customer care to find out.

Thank you..
University of Toledo (UT) requires application fee but they still denied me. What then could be wrong?

Toledo has a 97% acceptance rate, are you sure there’s nothing wrong with your references?

LeoGJB:
So I input my DS-160 app ID as my confirmation number in the quest to embark on date search. It accepted it. But my worry is that, in the event I'd have to fill out another ds-160, does the confirmation number/app ID changes?

You can always update with the new ds number on the cgi site

Good morning fam,
I have a conference in new york by April 25. Deadline for confirming my attendance in the conference is 31st march.
Is it possible to get a close date if i begin my visa application now ?

Yes you can, if you apply for emergency appointment.
Though there are no guarantees and they may approve or decline

borryworld:
Please, can anyone help respond to this.

Which dhl opens by 11am? That’s definitely a wrong info, go at the time of your submission please

Hello
Can a baby travel to nigeria without any passport?.
I am in Nigeria and the mother is in US.
The notary date is a bit far from the travel date.
Pls advise

Yes please, that’s what I did
You just need to apply for an Emergency travel certificate from the Nigerian embassy in the US and make sure you book a direct flight without any stopover in a country where US visa or passport is required. In my case, my delta/Air France flight had a stopover in france and i was denied boarding and had to be rebooked on a flight from Atl to Lagos direct

Good evening people
Please has anyone processed Nigerian passport for their LOs in Nigeria? Can the US birth certificate be used?
I called someone and they said i need a NPC birth certificate to do passport.
I’ll be glad if i can get a response

2 months? No nau.
Well, I don't know what happens in that Lagos Sha, because all the horrid tales emanate from there, but it's just one state amongst a whole lot of others.

Lagosians think they’re the only state in Nigeria lool
States like Niger have a 2 weeks wait time, in fact my little sister got hers in Abuja in 3 weeks but we had to fast track using “you know how”
