pufframmy:
my own point totally different cause my wife was never pregnant as at when i booked our appointment last year janaury

after i have book flight to abuja since august for 250k so i should now cancel my flight with no refund paid visa fees since last year which i told them in my message that i cant use the visa fees to rebook cause it already over 1 year
it cant be reused to book another appointment

right now am just lockup, i dont even know what to do but am going to attend the interview
no matter what cause this have been planning for since last year.
if i knew this how it going to be, i wont have spend alot for this . (But All on God understanding, am not God )

they should be considering us



Bruh …. I think we both have same issues . My wife was also not pregnant when I booked appointment February last year . The available date I pick was march 8th of this 2022. She gave birth this January. And the rescheduled my appointment to October . So I had to wait for the baby to be 6month before getting her passport and buy the visa fee asap .one thing I want to understand does that mean the visa fee is useless after one year if you don’t go for interview?

Shiningstarz:
No dates till 2024, no more 2023 dates. Sad
You may have to use agent, wonder how they get dates

xkunzo:
you cant get visa interview waiver unless you had usa visa in the past

Hello All,

My sister and her husband wants to invite my parent to the US. their interview is in a month time.

Please do they ask for an invite letter from my sister? what are the likely questions they might be asked.

NB: my dad is over 70 and mum is close to 70 years.

Is it advisable to get my DS-160 form via my GTBank app or i should just go directly to the banking hall, any difference?

We got our visas! All Glory to God. A big thanks to everyone who was always dropping hints on getting dates and also their transcript. I originally applied early last Year and eventually got interview date of February this Year. Few days to our interview in february, they rescheduled to October. So we had our interview on the 7th October. I have been to the USA about five times but my husband has never travelled out of Nigeria

Interview time - 9:45am
Arrived - 7:30am
Venue - Lagos

It was one tall guy at the second window that attended to us.

Husband and I - Good morning
VO - Good morning
VO - Your Passports
Me- I gave him both
VO - I can see you have been to the USA a couple of times
Me - Yes please
VO -What were you doing when you travelled
Me-Vacation
VO- What do you do?
Me- Told him.
VO- Where exactly is your office?
Me- Told him
VO- How many branches do you have?
ME - Told him and I support all of them
VO- Who are you staying with at the US?
ME - My sister
VO- What does she do?
ME - She went for her masters about 3 years ago at XXXXX school and she currently works at the school.
VO- When did you guys get married?
ME- Told him
VO- Any kids?
Me - None
VO- I can see you travelled before you got married
ME- Yes
VO- Faced my husband. What do you do?
Hubby- Told him
VO- How much do you make?
Hubby- A profit of about XXXXX.
VO- But you wrote a salary that is less than 10% of what you mentioned
Me- Yes that is the salary he pays himself. the profit is different
VO- What kind of Bleep business delivers such huge profit
ME- He submits proposals to corporate organisations, different institutions, has top clients and has X number of branches with X number of employees
VO- So monthly, how much does he have in his account?
ME- Well between Bleep and Bleep
VO- He typed oooooo. Then he asked me. How much is your monthly salary?
ME- Told him
VO- When did you Sister get to the United States?
ME- I think about 3 or 4 years but I am not sure of the exact date
VO- He was just typing.....Can I see your marriage certificate
Me- Gave him.
Me -Also brought out a small album and asked if I could show him
VO- He said never mind
After a few seconds
VO - Gave me a white paper. Please pick up your passport between 3 and 5 working days


They actually denied a lot of people whether old or young so there is no formula. May God favour everyone.

So much wrong here.

Your relative writing to the Embassy means nothing. At best it will be ignored, it will never be matched up to your DS160 or be relevant to the interview.

You cannot pay for an expedited appointment. The only thing you pay is the $160 MRV fee.

eniola1010:


Hello. Please i need some basic explanations.
1) Why do people always say it is better to travel to another country and apply for a US visa from there.

Have been hearing on this thread that next interview date is 2024 which is insane.

Now, is it because people are applying from nigeria that makes the date so clogged and shifted so beyond?

If peoplw travelled to lets say the uk and apply from the uk, would it make interview date sooner than if one applied from Nigeria?

2) is it true that invitation letters are useless, as in are they completely useless, or they have a little bit of usefulness in helping your application?

3) would you be asked what countries you have visited in a ds160 form? Reason for asking is because I am planning to visit about 3 European countries to boost my passport and increase my chances of being approved a us visit visa.

But i need to know if having traveled to various european countries prior to applying for a us visit visa helps or not so i dont waste money on such voyages.

Thank you

Good morning everyone.
Pls I have an issue. I'm applying for a visa to attend the funeral of a family member. My mum is the primary applicant. However the person who helped us fill the application forms didn't succeed in uploading my passport but said I shld attend the interview with 2 passports. My problem now is that the confirmation of appointment for the interview has stated that passports should be uploaded or i will have to reschedule. Pls what do I do. I don't waste my flight ticket to Abuja. Pls help.

Hi, please is anyone finding it difficult to get a date for Interview waiver appointment for B1/B2 visa?

eniola1010:
Please can someone who is very versed in usa visitor visa educate us please.

1) does travelling to other countries give you an higher chance of having your usa visitor visa approved. What i mean is, if you have really explored other countries, those that give you an higher chance than someone who has not traveled to other countries?
Because on the ds160 form i cant see any where where it states you to list the countries you have traveled to.

So how exactly will the vo know that you have traveled to other countries before?



2) why do people keep saying it is easier for your usa visa application to be approved if you applied from another country outside nigeria.
People do say this a lot.
But judging by the thread i found out reverse is the case.

Both peope that applied from nigeria and people that went to uk to apply are having over 170days as next available appointment date.

What then is the essense of going to uk and applying from there?

Or am i missing something?

This is time sensitive please and I’m looking forward to a response
