It is not possible. Just chill ok, and prepare yourself.
God's favor

Thank you,
Cause I don’t want them there with me

Dansakimotors:
Yes, 2 passport photograph. It always best its the same one you unloaded on your DS160 online form

Thank you for your response

Beelaye:


You can just take a copy or 2 of the passport pic so if they need it u have it handy. When going for interviews I take everything they can possibly need. Better to have it and it’s not needed than not to have it and it’s needed.

Very true... Better overprepared than under yeah? Noted. Thank you

seyewest:


Yes

Ok. Thank you

Good evening house.
Please I need a very urgent answer to this question.
I have my visit visa interview tomorrow and my relative who has a valid visit visa said they are going to follow me to my interview and talk to the visa officer with me.
Is this actually possible?

How old are you? I'll advise you to take their visa along for your interview.

seyewest:


Honestly I've never used google chrome for any ds160... I prefer Firefox

Firefox also good.

seyewest:


We thank God for your life... stay strong bro.

Many thanks bro.

Hello house, I got my US tourist visa from the Uk 2 years ago. Can I renew the visa from Nigeria? I heard it won’t be possible to renew from Nigeria. I need confirmation please

21. They are not sponsoring me though. My relative just wants to chip in but I don’t want the person there

if you're traveling together and you included them in your ds160 take their visa along for you interview.

Except you both applied together, are underage (below 18) or maybe disabled, no one is allowed in with you. They would not even be allowed into the waiting area outside the embassy.

Eriokanmi:
You're kinda worried about your situation. You need to be calm. Refusal under 221g via IW or other means isn't a denial. It simply means they need some clarification on your proposed visit and to do this, you'd have a date with a consular officer in a face-to-face interview. 90% of the time, 221g situation results in approval of a visa. A lot of factors could be responsible for this. If you overstayed during your previous trips, you'd need to explain why. If you gave birth with your B1/B2 visa, you'd need to show up for an interview and explain why. You may be asked to show proofs you paid in full and you didn't enjoy any support to offset your bills, e.g, health insurance or other means. If your purpose of visit isn't cleanly defined in your DS160 too, you'd need to provide details.

Guy, your passport will be sent back to you, wait for it. Under 221g, one cap doesn't fit all so, every applicant is treated on a case by case basis. A letter will accompany your passport which contains different refusal reasons. The VO who adjudicated on your case would tick the reason you were refused and what you need to do next...some, only DS160 and appointment printout page with passport will be requested to be brought during the interview. To others, medical bills , letters and other documents will be requested. Some parents couid be asked for finger printing of their child as well.

A refusal under 221g( administrative processing) doesn't mean you weren't qualified for IW. If you weren't qualified, you wouldn't have received an approval mail to submit your documents to a DHL office with a date in the first place. When you chose IW on the cgi portal, you received a notification that your application would be reviewed and if approved, you'd receive a mail to schedule a date for doc submission, which you did, right? A robot didn't send that approval mail, neither was it an auto response so, that's a proof you qualified for the IW.

My cousin just called. He attended his follow-up appointment yesterday. In the 221g letter which accompanied his passport, he was instructed to only print his DS160 confirmation page, bring the 221g letter, his passport and his follow-up appointment letter for his appointment. The VO didn't ask much questions after the exchange of greetings. He only asked for his passport and...how long are you staying? His visa was approved. He said to me one thing, which I'd like to draw the attention of those with 221g to. He said he checked ceac website weeks after his refusal in March and realised its been updated twice despite being refused. This seems to me that 221g isn't a total denial as many may have thought. They need to check some other things about the applicant which could mean going as far as their home office to fetch some information about you and as they're doing that, they're updating your status. He was refused in March but His status was updated 5th April and 26th April respectively and he saw the first follow-up appointment dates as released the following day, being 27th meaning, ( in my opinion though), they were done with the administrative processing and he should now pick a date for his follow-up interview. He missed that slot as all the dates had disappeared by the time he checked later. He saw the date again this week and booked 4th May He said he kept checking the ceac and cgi randomly in case the status would change to something else, despite being refused, only to discover a change in the date twice

My candid advice...especially fist time applicants, always use your visa for the purpose it was meant, to avoid administrative processing or any form of delay when it's time for your visa renewal. Drop box is a great opportunity which would take a lot of stress and anxiety off your neck so always take advantage of this by playing by embassy's visa rules, now that they're issuing 5 years...that's a lot. Only Canadian embassy had done that once and it was 4 years, Germany did that to me once as well, on a renewed passport. They said I don't have to always come to them, based on my application history. The drop box I had enjoyed for nearly 20 years now, hitch-free. I don't need to see most embassy's faces....just by simply playing by their rules.

Good luck to all in my cousin's shoes.

Thanks Eriokanmi....It is already 2 weeks....yet no news about passport collection and neither is any case opened nor CGI portal open for any 221g scheduling....I sent an email to the address u provided but they responded by saying I should go and follow one link like that...I went through the link and there isn't any clarity on how to engage them on my issue....pls what do u think

Expect their feedback soon. Keep checking the cgi follow up appointment schedule link daily by...12:30pm, 2:30pm and 5:30pm respectively for your 221g appointment date. Check if they've also updated your status on ceac...if the the date has changed from the date you were refused on 221g.

If I could pls chime in here since my situation is kinda similar.
This morning, I called the embassy direct. I was told to scan and send some docs to an email and call back by noon (I’m waiting for noon now)
One of the things the lady asked was whether I saw a 221g link on my page and I said no. Without which I cannot schedule an appointment.
Does this eventually change and will the 221g link show up? Or is there something else I ought to do? Also, my ceac status still reads as no status. It changed to no status on the 3rd of May and has stayed there all this while. The date reading there is 9th of March (which is the date I got the approval email to schedule an interview waiver appointment). It changed to that on the evening of 3rd May. But about 10am of the same date, my profile was updated to 3rd May.

It’s kinda complicated but I hope you get me? Any word right now will help give me more insight. Thank you

Am I qualified for dropbox even though the (26 Jun 2020 to 28 Dec 2021) is not covered in any passport.

Will appreciate your kind response. Thanks.

No and No.

Bossman:
No and No.

Okay

But I believe one can switch visa status to work visa if one gets a sponsorship job over there.

Same with study visa too.
