You can track the status of your application

https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx

puffmama:


No I did not get a RFE, status says application is still within processing times so we can't query the cause of the delay yet.

Okay...I wish you all the best

not all companies bro the inactive are due to non payment of annaul returns just did mine too for 3 years non payment

EOA1:
The CAC website I have found out only update recently registered companies and have active status on these. I discovered that companies more than two years old have inactive statuses.
You can confirm by searching major companies in Nigeria. All I checked returned inactive as status.
If possible you may write UK Embassy that your company is up to date in her obligations to CAC and show your proofs.

Is there a suitable reason why you are choosing to go earlier than planned ? If not, I would advise you stick to the earlier proposed date or travel and the number of days you indicated.
They are looking for any reason to turn people back at the POE ..

Don't think you will have any problems. Travel plans changed. Not everything in life works exactly as planned. The VO and CBP officers are aware of that. JUST DON'T OVERSTAY.

Hi guys thanks so much for your helpful advice - @Damipops & @OAB & everyone

I got my passport back yesterday and like I said a couple of days back I was refused my b1/b2 IW visa application . In the slip in my passport no reason was given other that I have not successfully established my qualification for the visa applied for.

They asked that I go to the consulate any Thursday and bring a printed copy of my ds-160

I’ve looked and can’t find a copy to print, just the confirmation page.

Those in the know are there any other supporting documents I should take with me.

For context - I’ve never overstayed my visa, I’ve never been refused a U.S. Visa., I’ve never had a baby there either

AbbeyBidemi:

Thanks a lot for responding. attached is the rejection letter

The wordings are straight forward. You can reapply again, but this time you need to show 3 things:

1. Evidence of business transactions. Inflow and outflow from Bank, email correspondences, invoices to customers and invoices from vendors etc.

2. Source of the finance you provided need to be backed up by other bank statements. E.g if you had moved it from an investment account to your bank account some days before, you should generate the investment account statement and attach.

3. More proof on your plans to return to Nigeria....maybe other investments in Naija etc.

Hello , please has USA started interview for new applicants ? My friend is interested please

Hello…
Just print the confirmation page alone… that’s all.

Since it’s an interview, you need to prepare for any questions relating to your previous visits. Look at the i94 portal to review your previous trips to the US…you need to anticipate what issues the VO had while reviewing your application.
Are you male/female? Did you give birth in the US? Any overstay previously ??

Best of luck on Thursday

Yes, they have

It shouldn’t be an issue. Travel plans can change due to no fault of yours. What if you had to change your leave dates at work etc…Just avoid overstaying (stick to the duration you stated in the DS160 form).

Safe travels…

Ok someone told me new applicants haven’t started yet just renewal , is that true please

Thanks @Dampops

Im female, never given birth in the US, never overstayed.
Do you think it's worth taking my bank statements and any other docs? Although they only asked that I bring a printed copy of the application form...

Thanks a lot for the helpful advice

Not true

meljoe:

With the US consulate, bank statement doesn’t catch their fancy (except in rare cases especially for F1 visa)…you already qualified for an interview-waiver, so the documents won’t do much.
Just review your previous trips and be sure you have nothing strange that is unknown to you (Check the i94 again)…

Be ready to explain your reasons for this trip and plans you’ve made, if any.

Also confirm if your last visa is same as this fresh application (whether one was B1 and the other B2 etc)

When people tell you things, try to do a little ‘Google exercise’…

@lalasun

I'd like to add in form of a question, did you fill the DS160 form personally? If not, be sure certain details were not filled which you're not privy to.

Best wishes.

Please is there a Telegram group for new visa enrollees? If so, please can someone post the link. Thank you.

Okay thanks so much Dampops.

I just checked my i94, never even knew that was an option, thanks so much for that. I have just seen 3 different departure dates from the US in Oct 2012, they are back to back as well which is weird so not arrival/departure like with the other dates. Only one of the dates is correct, I don't know if I should screenshot and post here...

It looks like an admin error, Any ideas how to correct the wrong dates?

Thanks
