DrStrangelove:
Pls house a friend wants to know if he can submit on behalf of his wife (they are both applying) for IW. I know one of them can do pick up but not sure about submission.

Thanks

karypops:
Pls, is there a way to still be able to print the submitted ds160?

Just login with your DS-160 Application ID from CEAC retrieve my application. You will see the Submitted DS-160 form

Thanks bro/sis

Sorry about your mom's delay, did she overstay her visa by 4months or she spent 4months more than the stipulated time on her DS-160 when she applied. I'm just curious because my mom may be in similar situation, she spent 4 and half months on her last visit due to covid travel restrictions but she returned to Nigeria before her visa expired.

karypops:
So my parents went for the follow up interview today. My dad was approved but not my mom. Reason she stayed more than she said on past visit even though it was 4months and she got caught up here during covid. Even though she applied for extension. How soon again can she apply? Any idea how farther new appointment dates are?
Always say the exact times you intend to stay from the beginning, the VO said that outrightly!

How long is the appointment wait time for Lagos and Abuja?

You can apply through Lagos as long as you available to submit iit n Lagos

Where’s the telegram group for visa appointments. I applied for an EA since 10 days now and there’s no response yet.

Is there any telegram group for those who are seeking appointments?

please, did your parent go with their filled ds 160 form that was submitted or the ds 160 submission confirmation page for the IW followup appointment interview?

They are to take only the ds160 confirmation.

If you look at the saved copy of ds160 form, it is clearly stated DO NOT BRING THIS TO YOUR INTERVIEW.

The main problem the VO stated is she said she was spending 3weeks and spent 4months in 2017. She told her to always say 4months if she wants to stay 4months

It should open for you if you had answered all the questions that will lead you to IW

Finally, Lying on your ds 160 or during the interview is misrepresentation and a crime. This thread's aim is not to teach / coach applicants on how to lie. The truth is ALWAYS the best course of action no matter the situation. Please DO NOT ask about how to misrepresent on this thread.

I'm grateful to God that I am alive to create this new part. And for the several friends I have made hereon.

Thank you.
