A 221g interview is a follow-up interview at the US Embassy. For applicants who qualify for interview waiver; according to the US Consular Services, sometimes the CO reviewing the application does not have sufficient information to assess the applicant and complete the adjudication process. It could also be that concerns have been raised from the information in the application, usage of previous visa(s) etc. So, apparently in the interest of "fairness", the visa application is temporarily put on hold and the applicant is told to schedule a follow-up interview which is called a 221g interview. mane48: |

I would like to know the process of changing from interview appointment to waiver.I had applied before the extension to 48 months. Do I have to start the process all over or there is a way around it without having to pay another visa fee? |

I'll suggest you hold on to your date. I had an interview scheduled for Tuesday next week, just got an email that it's cancelled. "Appointment slots will be made available so that you may reschedule to a date and time that is convenient for you. We will send you a follow-up email with instructions on rescheduling your new appointment soon." shalomblue: |

My wife had a follow-up interview this morning after being refused under 221g She was basically asked to explain her long stays in the US (Stuck during COVID and childbirth). The VO asked how much she paid for childbirth (no receipts were checked), what she and her husband do for a living and then she was told that if she used the visa for medical, she'd be banned from the US. Visa was approved. The whole thing took about 2 minutes. 4 Likes |

Location: Abuja Transcript of 221g Interview: Me: Good Morning. VO: Good Morning. Please pass your passport. VO: Have you been to the US before? Me: No. VO: Why didn’t you use your last visa? Me: The pandemic happened after the visa was issued and I shelved travel plans since my trip was non-essential. (I rambled a bit, but I guess the message was passed across) VO: Where are you going to in the US? Me: Houston, Texas VO: How long do you plan staying? Me: ten days VO: Are you married? Me: No. I’m single. VO: Do you have children? Me: No VO: Do you have family in the US? Me: No. All my immediate family are here. VO: Where do you work? Me: xxxxx ( a firm under Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources) VO: How long have you worked there? Me: 10 years and 10 months VO: Which city were you born? Me: A*** ( I gave my state of origin as answer instead of the name of the state where I was born) VO: ***looks at me in surprise**** Me: *****Instantly realised I made a mistake and immediately provided the correct answer**** I was born in A***** but my state of origin is A*****. I’m sorry about the mix-up. ( Side Story- during my last visa application process, I had to undergo Administrative Processing and provide answer to a lot of personal questions. I guess she asked the question to check whether I had been telling the truth all along. ) VO:***** Smiles. Then types for less than one minute.***** Your visa has been approved. You can pick it up in one week. Me: Thank you. Outcome: Received passport within a week. 5-year B1/B2 Visa affixed to passport. 10 Likes 1 Share |

Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by HALIMAHHHH: 10:46pm On Jun 09, 2023 |
Good evening everyone. Please I would like advice on this. Is it a problem if someone applies for US visiting visa without her husband. She wants to visit are kids who are in school there and she feels it's a red flag if she and her husband don't apply together because her husband already applied and scheduled his interview for next year june without her. Your response will be greatly appreciated. |

There is nothing much that you can do than to keep checking from time to time. I experienced this for close to 2 months and given up due to other plans. Late last month, I just checked anyways and found a date in June. I think you just be patient & keep checking. Ebizle: |

"Purpose of travel is to begin or resume a valid program of study in the United States within 60 days when no regular visa appointments are available. This option is limited only to students and exchange students who are within 60 days of their start date. " I noticed the above when I wanted to request for emergency appointment. Does the 60 days actually apply? I am to resume August 14th. Would i need to wait till 14th of this month before i can request for the emergency appointment? |
