Of course u can. U will also be submitting the former passport where the former visas were issued and the new passport will reference the old passport so that way they know ur one and the same person Goodluck ShallyK: 3 Likes |

Please how many times can one reschedule IW appointment? Also is it possible to drop off in Abuja and pickup in Lagos? |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by puffmama: 6:40am On Apr 21, 2022 |
Uwosom: Yes you can, I dropped off in Lagos and choose the option to pick in Abuja |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by puffmama: 6:43am On Apr 21, 2022 |
ShallyK: You can but I think you will need to fill another DS 160 form so that the space that has all your names, given names and other names you are known as will be indicated 2 Likes |

Good day guys; I want to ask some question concerning getting a visit visa to USA. 1. What is the latest amount for a visitors visa. 2. What are the main questions that are asked by the interviewers plus the specific once too. 3. What is the chance of getting a visitors visa. 4. What is the minimum and maximum amount of days to visit USA. |

Good afternoon folks… Just heard from someone that went for her interview today. She had sought my opinion on likely reasons for her initial refusal and how to prepare for the follow up interview. I’m sure she’ll share her transcript here at a later date…but I’ll give a summary now… Long story short…her visa was issued after the interview this morning. She had a child in the US during her last trip (in 2021) which coincidentally was her first use of the 2019 visa. She also stayed for over 4 months due to delay in getting travel documents for her new baby. We were thinking of likely refusal reasons: could it be her 4 month stay? Her child birth? Not using the visa on time and for vacation purposes as stated in her DS160 in 2019?….I advised her to prepare responses for all these scenarios and we did simulation on two occasions… During the interview today, the VO asked questions around why she didn’t travel earlier after getting the visa, why did she go and give birth in the US (Nigeria or elsewhere were options), whether she notified the embassy before traveling for child birth etc…she was able to provide convincing responses. Thank God for her testimony. Take home for me is to prepare well and display honesty…favour is also a factor. On another note, she shared some interviews that happened whilst she was waiting… A couple was put on administrative processing. Wife has no issues but husband had two criminal cases in the US (he served time in prison for stealing, and had a failed drug test at another time)…an elderly woman had stayed for about a year in the US but had a successful interview (she explained that her daughter gave birth 5 months into her stay and few months later, there was COVID lockdown)… Have a great day, everyone!!! P.S: I’m not a visa consultant. I always try to offer advice in my little way…more of SR.. 9 Likes |

You can leave it blank…. If you are stating the program on the DS160 as a reason for traveling, then you can state the name of a contact person of its organizers [quote author=paramajit post=112148550][/quote] |

Good day house, I had my follow-up interview for the IW visa renewal today. Below are the transcripts: VO: Hello � Me: smiled back faintly (because the woman was mean to few people before me) VO: After scanning through the passports (me and my daughter), she asked why my wife and my other daughter visa interview was not successful recently. Me: I briefly explained this based on the transcripts my wife told me (she stayed over three months in her last visit which I don’t considered an offense) then the VO continued with a lot of other personal questions which I answered. VO: why did you travel in 2018 without your family? Me: I went for a conference plus it was a very short stay. Next thing….. VO: Your visa is approved but I’m sorry your daughter does not qualify for the visa for now Me: this girl has never over stayed and the few times she traveled has always be with me (maximum of three weeks). VO: Yes I can see that, she can reapply with her mum and her sister the next time. Note: if you interviewing (non-immigrant) in Lagos anytime soon, please try to avoid the VO in the first counter (a slim white woman like that �). Please I need advise from the house, this is the second time my wife and the other daughter are been denied (for this long stay reason and her response has always been the same - to take care of our host which was sick then), now they have joined my little daughter. Should I reapply with them all despite that mine is approved or what? 1 Like |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by UmmZayd: 4:39pm On Apr 21, 2022 |
Kameo401: Okay just for clarification, did you verbally said, "which I didn't considered as an offense" or you were just thinking in your mind? Again, why is your daughter traveling with you now and not applied with the rest? (First daughter and wife) So as I'm thinking now, the VO will probably be thinking you splitted the interview into 2. Like, you go with one child while I go with the other. Nevertheless, you can't apply with them again because you have your visa already so let them all apply together. 1 Like |

Congrats to her and u Dampops. It's favour and articulation at work. Had a friend that was in a same kinda boat but we're ready and armed with answers and God's favour when they want. The only questions asked were (1) how many times have u guys travelled (2) state the hospital, city and years u gave birth (3) what purpose are u travelling for this time Didn't ask for zero balance statements or nada. White slip and an advice not to give birth on B1B2 visa again that's it not allowed henceforth. Congrats once again Dampops: |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by daysoffavor: 6:23pm On Apr 21, 2022 |
Hello House, Went for the IW passport dropoff on the 29th of march 2022 in Lagos, been tracking the progress of the application and its been on "application received" for a very long time. However on the 16th of April status changed to "Issued"...but till this day 21th of April no email to come and pick up from DHL...Anyone else experiencing this ? |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Kameo401: 6:30pm On Apr 21, 2022 |
Nah…..I was just thinking that in my mind. She’s always been traveling with me from the very first time and I also explained this to the VO. We all applied for a Dropbox renewal sometime in 2018, mine and her own were approved while others were denied. Meaning we have same expiry period which is different from others. Since both of us qualified for IW and others didn’t, hence the reason for the split. Thanks for the advice. UmmZayd: 1 Like |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Faloh: 6:33pm On Apr 21, 2022 |
Hello all, I have an issue. The location that was chosen for my dependents (Lagos) on ds160 is different from the location that we want to interview (Abuja). I can change my ds160 on "update profile" with Abuja as interview location, but there is no way to update for dependents. Will this cause an issue during interview? |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by EOA1: 6:52pm On Apr 21, 2022 |
I submitted the same date with you and had same status sequences. I just collected mine 6:00pm today from DHL Victoria Island. You can check with DHL. daysoffavor: |

Good evening..I am pretty new on this forum..Please can anyone help with details about the U.S visiting visa Interview waiver or drop box at the Lagos Embassy..Is it still ongoing? I would like to put in for my mum. |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by daysoffavor: 7:58pm On Apr 21, 2022 |
EOA1: Hello, Thanks for the response, did you get the email for collection or you just went free style ? Kindly let me know |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by daysoffavor: 8:10pm On Apr 21, 2022 |
EOA1: Please do let me know if you got an email for pick up or you just decided to check with DHL? And if yes, please do let me know how you picked it up without an email from DHL if possible |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by EOA1: 8:30pm On Apr 21, 2022 |
I did not receive any email. I checked my appointment portal and saw that my passport is ready for collection notice. I went to DHL and was able to collect it. daysoffavor: |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by DrStrangelove: 9:51pm On Apr 21, 2022 |
First off, your wife and the accompanying daughter are been penalized for the long stay of 3 months. Now am not sure if this is a 2yr or 5yr penalty though I think it's the former. That's why she's been refused over and over again. Your other daughter that attended with u is just collateral damage. Pls check the length of time from 1st refusal and now. If it's over 2 years, then u can try to reapply with urself and the whole family. Meanwhile, ur wife and daughters should try to visit other places. Applying a third time in the immediate future to the US will show desperation. Goodluck Kameo401: |

Please can anyone help me with possible questions VO’s ask aged women coming to the US to assist their kids after childbirth |
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Kameo401: 5:22am On Apr 22, 2022 |
Thanks for response and advice. Even though I feel 3-months isn’t over stay (when compare to the allowed period of 6-months) with more cogent reasons for staying for that period. They have visited other places UK and Dubai precisely, nevertheless I will check through the date of first refusal and take into consideration the like penalty of 2years or 5years. But did you say I can reapply with them despite I have a valid visa or wait till that expire then reapply with them. Many thanks. DrStrangelove: |
