@Themaths @Oyotunjiusa @Mayford

Appreciate the great help! I'll work towards getting an affidavit and maintaining two names. Thanks once again.

You're welcome

Thank you for your response.

mayford:


Hi, Yes you can create and fill a new DS-160 form even after securing an interview date



No, there will be no problems. Simply update your ustraveldocs (CGI) profile with the new confirmation number of the DS-160 at least 3 working days before your interview date.

Thank you for your response.

GboyegaD:


Yes you can however, this must be linked to your portal not later than 72 hours before your interview.

I knew about this PART 18 late.

I got my VISA APPROVED on June 24th. Myself, Wife and 2 kids.

Thanks to everybody here that gave me one advice or the other. Shoutout to @OyotunjiUSA for his prompt answers and criticism. And also to @fearlessfang & @debieee for encouraging me to go with my 3F2s.

I'll recommend this thread to everyone who need firsthand information about F1 Visa. The information here is unquantifiable and organic.

Thanks to everyone, wishing us all the very best and successful interview.

Please can you share your transcript.

Congratulations

Please is it worth it to apply for spring 2025 (Jan/Feb resumption) as far as interview availability is concerned.

VeeInsider:


Thanks for your reply and contribution. I'm also getting this message:

"Ensure that the name on your passport and other official identification matches the name you use in your application. This is particularly important for visa applications."

How important is this?

@OyoTunjiUSA @mayford, please do you have anything to say on this?

You welcome. Yes, use the name on your passport which is your official document in this case.

mayford:


Hi, paying another MRV for a new appointment will only delay you further as you'd have to get approval first before you can schedule an appointment and there's no guarantee you will see a favourable date.

Keep monitoring the appointment calendar for a reschedule and if possible, you can switch to either Abuja or Lagos depending on which location has the best dates before your resumption.

If it helps, you can join date search groups for updates on date availability.

Do you have recommendations for date search groups please.

Hello everyone.

Is it possible to make changes to your DS-160 application after submitting it? I have already completed all the remaining steps and gotten my interview date, but I realized I needed to correct something. If not, will creating a new one mean I have to pay the MRV fee again?

You will retrieve the old DS-160 by entering the application ID and click retrieve application on the DS-160 portal. You will enter the security questions as usual then it will tell you that the DS-160 application has already been submitted if you want to modify it, go ahead and accept then you will be given a new application ID, write it down. The new DS160 will be populated with information from the old one, you can go ahead to edit and fill as you wish. When you submit, remember to go update your CGI portal with the new application ID and print before going for interview.

No, you can indicate it in the section where you include details about your present job.

Yes, if it will help your application especially with defending your earnings.

Not yet but i want to know it’s possible to do another interview after one month and half and get your visa approved because i think the consuler maybe suspicious that this one just wan japa anyone who can help me with tips please

I keep getting this message, even when people say that dates are available. I’ve been previously denied a visa, but I chose “Regular,” as I was told that it will expedite my getting a date.

Does anyone know why this message keeps showing, even when other people can see dates?

Flixvevo:

Yes. You can add as much details as possible. Just include it after writing about your present job duties.

It's widely reported by many people in the same situation as you. Just keep monitoring the appointment calendar. I assume they'd eventually open up the dates.

thank you

Not at all ustraveldoc update is enough but the next step should be to print a new interview letter after 24hrs for uniform information.
