@OyoTunjiUSA. I donβt comment very often but I came across your responses to this subject. You stated that βwe learn everydayβ.., I can tell you for a fact that Nigerians with Canadian PR get 10yr b1/b2 visa when they apply. Everyone I have given an invite to US with a Canadian PR received 10yr visa. We all learn everyday and I do recognise your active input on this platform. Thank you (PS- Just for context and not brag.

I had a visa interview scheduled for 2nd August , now postponed to 6th August probably because of protest. Initially submitted IW in January but passport returned to book interview. I have an official trip booked for 13th August. Assuming the visa is approved on the 6th August, is there any chance I can retrieve my passport before that date? ( Just one week apart) |

My believe is that a first timer receives 5 year B1-B2 while subsequent can be 10 years especially because of the VISA reciprocal agreement between the USA and Nigeria. 2. All the same, i accept your input as a genuine correction. Correction in a formal way like yours is different from attacking . Thank u sir. Best Whishes π 1 Like |

bibiliscious: Hey π€ 1. Your infant is qualified for a natural interview waiver because she cannot really answer a consular as a minor, but she is not qualify for IW visa renewal because she has not been given any USA VISA before. 2. Remove her as a dependent in your cgi portal . Fill your own DS-160 and after submission do not exit the page and continue to add dependent (your daugher) information. This will merge your daughter's information inside your DS-160. 3. After the above, fill another DS-160 only for your infant (just exactly the way you fill it for yourself) and submit. Then go to GTB and pay her MRV physically (do not pay via mobile app). 4. You will then apply as if you are renewing and upon submission you will have to submit , Your passport , her passport , birth certificate , Hospital bill/attestation of his birth , your DS-160 confirmation and her DS-160 confirmation together with her mrv receipt . PS: This situation is tricky. You may likely be summon to appear physically with her. Best Wishes π 1 Like |

omoluka: Hey π€ 1. Beginning from last year (2023), you can now look for job while in the USA with B1-B2 VISA. 2. Please read me well. You cannot work with B1-B2 VISA but you can look or search for job within the stipulated period given to you at the port of entry , and once you are able to process the final transition paper work to H1-B or other work related visas then you are good to stay and work. 3. The scenario above is not compulsory to be done as a straight away procedure. It depends on the stipulated time given to you at the entry port. If your work paper cannot be finalised at ago, you can return to Nigeria and go back when necessary. Best Wishes π 1 Like |

OyoTunjiUSA: It is interview post IW. Decision will be made that day. I am only saying that if the visa is approved after the interview on 6th August, is it possible for them to issue the visa and retrieve the passport within a week. I just want to know the average time it takes people who recently succeeded with interview to get their passport back. My flight is 6pm so even if the visa/ passport is ready on the 13th,I can still collect it in the morning and travel same day |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by OyoTunjiUSA(m): 9:12am On Aug 01 |
shipdoc: π€ Oh ! My bad. You should have your VISA (if approved that day) by August 12 , at worst (if no drama happens). Best Wishes π 1 Like |

[quote author=bibiliscious post=131259176][/quote] π€ @bibiliscious 1. Yes. Fill another DS-160 for yourself and fill for her too (follow my previous instructions). I understand you have gotten your own VISA but you have to submit your passport alongside hers for physical comparison. 2. They will only work on her visa. Your passport is just for biological mother verification. You can write an explanatory letter along your application. PS; Call CGI too. Best Wishes π 1 Like |

Thanks for your response and good luck with your physical interview. My mum submitted her IW documents at DHL yesterday. I hope she is not asked to come in for a physical interview. All the best! shipdoc: |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by flourishing247: 2:45pm On Aug 01 |
shipdoc: Do not take the risk. Some get theirs in less than a week. Others 5 weeks. So circumstance differs. The best is to reschedule your appointment. 1 Like |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by shipdoc: 3:22pm On Aug 01 |
flourishing247:That will be Interview waiver. Unless you are under administrative processing, they can't keep your passport after interview for 5 weeks. My last visa, I actually got it in three days after interview. I just don't know the current estimate but five weeks is not possible. |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by flourishing247: 9:05pm On Aug 01 |
shipdoc: So how will you know if you will be placed under admin processing? That's the point! Anything can happen so best not to risk it since she has an important trip 1 Like |

Please everyone, for those who recently got approved for study visa, how long did it take for your passport to be available for pickup, especially those that picked up in lagos or ibadan Please and thank you |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by OyoTunjiUSA(m): 7:30am On Aug 02 |
shipdoc: Hey π€ 1. Yes, you are right. IW maximum processing time according to the USA embassy is 8 - weeks. If your interview is physical (not IW) and successful, then expect your VISA to be available for pick up at a maximum time of 1-week. PS: @Esansamuel967 same applies to you. If you did not receive 221g slip after a successful interview, then nothing can extend your visa pick up duration beyond 1-week. Best Wishes π 1 Like |

Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Tersly: 12:46pm On Aug 02 |
Hello everyone , I applied for US F1 visa ( MBA)and got interview appointment for October but was able to get an earlier date later which is August 21 , I had to defer admission to January 2025 due to resumption date , I have been able to update my D-160 and got a new confirmation with a new serial number ,but the βfamily detailsβ (dependents) is unclickable for me to edit theirs so as to get updated details like mine. Please am I supposed to leave their details like that or they need to be updated too like mine , if yes how do I do that please ?

Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by OyoTunjiUSA(m): 10:13pm On Aug 02 |
hephzibahjay: Hey π€ 1. You have between now and August 15 to be able to access the appointment booking website. 2. From August 16 to August 26, 2024, You won't be able to do anything on the appointment booking site. 3. If you are traveling after September, 2024 , I would rather you waited till August, 27, 2024 before you start your visa application process. Best Wishes π 1 Like |

OyoTunjiUSA: Hello, hope you are doing great. have you heard of a case, where an American travelled to Nigeria and married a Nigerian and the Nigerian applied for visa from Nigeria and it was successful? Or how does that process work? |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by OyoTunjiUSA(m): 10:48pm On Aug 02 |
Tegekat: Hey π€ 1. 221-G should come with verbal or paper explanation. Did the consular officer not hand you an accompanying slip ? Or check the back of your travel passport if there is any slip attached . Or call the helpline. 2. You may as well login to your cgi account and search upper left side and click on " continue " . This should bring out new available dates (if you have missed approval email). Best Wishes π |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by OyoTunjiUSA(m): 12:12am On Aug 03 |
Benwems: Hey π€ 1. I have not only heard but i have seen lot of such scenarios over the years from friends and few relatives. 2. However, it's not a piece of cake as it was because many have used the gimmicks to commit VISA/immigration frauds, thereby, leading to lot of scrutiny and visa denials nowadays. 3. I will recommend you allow your partner to come visiting , spend some time together in Nigeria and return. He or she can visit you twice before you return your own visit. Keep relationship photos , and other evidences of time spent together for application references. Plan to tie the knot in the USA rather than in Nigeria. PS: Google the following terms : K-1 VISA CR-1. This is a Conditional resident, and IR - Immediate Relative. Best Wishes π |

This got my attention asides work is it also possible to transition status to student in USA with the B1/B2,I heard it's possible but I don't know how true that is OyoTunjiUSA: |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by anamo: 6:13am On Aug 03 |
Xoxobull: Good morning brother. If for any reason you cannot make it for your travels (F1 visa) after getting a visa, I learnt that you can now transfer your SEVIS fee payment to a new SEVIS ID if you get admission in another school? If so, whatβs the time validity since the period you paid the SEVIS fee and the period that you will no longer be able to transfer this SEVIS fee payment? Is it also a year period? How difficult is it going to be getting a new visa even when you meet all visa requirements? Cuz the officer will think youβre not serious by not travelling initially |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by OyoTunjiUSA(m): 6:27am On Aug 03 |
Xoxobull: Hey π€ 1. Yes it is possible. 2. When you are already inside USA, you do not need to apply for another VISA again because the reason you actually needed a VISA is for you to enter, but you are inside already. Hence, almost 90% of USA VISA types allows for change of status. 3. However, you must not change your activity (from the original intent) inside USA until USCIS approved your change of status (to the new one). 4. For example, if you are currently inside USA on a B1-B2 visit, you must not begin attending school as a student (F-1) until you have received authorization from USCIS to change your status. 5. You will have to exit the USA In order to go and apply for any other USA VISA type that does not allow you to change your status inside USA ( because you cannot apply for USA VISA inside USA).
