Hi! Read the message below from the new site. The link to the exact page is at the end. You can visit the page and get further enlightened. However, I expect your appointment mail to carry the location for drop off. All the best! Documents Submission Options If you qualified for the Interview Waiver procedure, you may submit your application documents as following: drop-off the documents free of charge and by appointment; or drop-off the documents with the paid service at the OIS offices in Abuja and Lagos listed below. (Please note that application documents are not being sent between consular cities. You must submit your documents in the consular city where you intend to apply for the visa.) OIS SERVICES ABUJA No. 28 Pope John Paul Street Off Ghana Street Maitama, Abuja Business Hours: 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (Monday to Friday) 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (Saturdays) OIS SERVICES LAGOS No. 14 Idowu Taylor Victoria Island, Lagos Business Hours: 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (Monday to Friday) 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. (Saturdays) https://www.usvisaappt.com/visa/page?country=NG&apiPageName=interviewWaiver&locale=en customised87: 1 Like |

Hi! I had same experience on the old platform when I wanted to book my IW appointment. It took two days for them to approve. I got a mail saying "Request to schedule has been approved" I'll suggest you keep checking your mail and spambox. All the best! Jtom301: Jtom301: |

Rutty69: Hey ๐ค 1. Why you were inactive is that you did not have any directive to visit the website. If you have received the K1 - 60 days notice, then you will have to e-mail your immigrant VISA case number to Lagos or Abuja embassy depending on your handling location. 2. If you have not gotten to 60 - days notice , you will still have to reach out to the USA embassy via the chat box or phone call. PS: Direct your future questions to the K-1 VISA section next time.

Good Morning, I had my Dropbox move from Received to Issued to Approved. I am a bit confused about the implications. Also, when will I receive my passport as there has been no mail in my spam yet since seeing this? |

Good morning everyone, Please for those who had an interview and got approved within the last 20 days, how long did it take to get your passport back? Also, are you able to change your selected pick up location afterwards? Are they still using DHL for document pick up? |

R: No VO: Where in the United States are you going? R: I am going to New York. VO: Why? R: To sit for the New York Bar Exam VO: Why is that? R: My Firm does transnational transactions and have a lot of clients across the world including the US, so when i sit and pass the bar, i have the benefit of becoming an international lawyer, because a licenced attorney in New York, through reciprocity can practice not only in over 30 states in the US but other common law jurisdictions like the New Zealand, Australia and Canada. Also i am not the only one in my firm that has an international license to practice. We have two other lawyers. VO: How many lawyers are in your firm? R: 9 VO: How many are licensed to practice in the US or other jurisdictions? R: Two, one in the US and the other one just passed the SQE in England. VO: Where in New York would you be staying? R: I canโt confirm that yet, as that is conditional on the board of law examiners, post registration, there are six locations, Albany, Long Island, New York city, Buffalo white plains and saratoga springs., it could be any of these locations. VO: Do you have relatives in the US R: Yes my younger brother, he is a student. VO: Where does he stay? R: Nashville, Tennesee VO: Who is paying for your accommodation in New York? R: My Firm would be doing that. VO: Are they booking you in a hotel orโฆ R: Whatever accommodation of my choosing VO: How long would you be staying in New York? R: About a month, because there are three components to the exam, the UBE and the MPRE and NYLE , they about a month apart and theโฆ VO Cuts inโฆ VO: In Texas, its the 3 days in a row nonstop you get to write all the exams, it was hell for me, it traumatized, i never want to practice again. R: Oh wow, thats something, i guess new york is a bit fair but the studying has actually been very hectic. VO: Yes i feel for you all i can wish you is luck. VO: Continues typinggg (at this point my heart was in my mouth but i was hopeful) So i have approved your visa (hands me out the white paper) I wish you good luck R: I really do need it VO: Yes you do, all the best. 8 Likes |

Thank you our very own boss. I have registered and will wait for the pickup mail from my mailbox to enable me to track my passport. Kindly address why my passport went from {issued to approved} [/b]I thought Approved came before issued. Thank you for the time you took to explain these things to us. OyoTunjiUSA: [b]Hey ๐ค 1.

tundesto: I paid for my Mum's visa on the old system. I couldn't get a date before the migration to the new system. I have tried to use the new system but I need to pay the visa fees again. Can anyone in a similar situation please help. I'm getting really frustrated. Thank you. |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by harleybee(f): 2:48pm On Aug 30 |
Cashmadam: Hi, Same issue with me for my dad I raised a ticket to write about the issue from the new profile. I then had a chat with one of their ?agent/staff also from the new website a day later. I was told it would be resolved later that day which was now 48hrs after a I raised the ticket. I checked today and saw they had resolved it but told me to wait for another 48hrs to get an email about my new profile. You do not need to pay another fee. I was told my previous fee is still valid and should be able to proceed with appointment booking after 48hrs. This is likely going to be till Monday then. So you should raise a ticket and let them know your issue. Hope this helps |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Ajala444: 3:42pm On Aug 30 |
I had my IW appointment yesterday (29th August) at OIS Services dropoff centre in Lagos. I was scheduled initially for October 2024 then the embassy automatically rescheduled me for the 24th of July but I was out of the country so I had to reschedule that and it was on the 29th August. Following the communication that the DHL will no longer be used for dropoff, I got an email last week Friday to go to OIS on the day of my appointment 2 hours after my initially scheduled appointment. I got to the OIS centre at 11am (my appointment was at 9am) and there was a crowd outside. I was told I had to get a number and I was given number 108 meanwhile they just called number 80 to come in. I was not called in till 12 noon and we were kept waiting in a room till about 1pm when we were called into the room where the drop off was being done. I was there till 2:45pm and the process was very slow with few people attending to the large crowd of people. Additionally, we all had to pay 48,000 Naira which they called service fee for using the OIS facility. It was a long and tiring process and it is obvious the OIS team are not fully ready to take over this process. The office is not fully furnished and they are just taking it as it goes for now. Hopefully, it will normalise within one month. If you have IW to schedule, I advise to wait till they get themselves before scheduling. PS: I am still not able to create an account on the website so I am unable to track my application. 5 Likes |

Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Ikebabay: 5:39pm On Aug 30 |
Hi! My assumption was that those of us that were able to submit IW at DHL can expect to pickup at DHL because DHL pickup still extends till September 18 (see message below) Please note,I'm not an authority on the matter, just an applicant myself but that's what I think. The information below is from the ustraveldocs site (pops up when you try to access the Nigerian page on ustraveldocs). I've included the link so anyone can check it out. Message on https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/en/landing "The last day to pick up documents at DHL premium locations is September 16, 2024. The last day to drop off documents at DHL regular locations in Abuja, Surulere, Victoria Island, and Lagos is August 23, 2024. The last day to pick up documents at DHL Regular is September 18, 2024."

Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by naivasha: 6:18pm On Aug 30 |
Hello everyone, Has anyone been able to pay using the Credit Card/Debit Card option on the new portal? I have tried repeatedly without any success. I used a debit card from a US bank and got any error. I then tried a debit card from a UK bank and met the same error. I even asked a friend the US to give me his card details to try it and still the same thing. I am beginning to suspect the system is not yet fully sorted out. If anyone has been successful kindly share how to do it. Thanks. |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by OyoTunjiUSA(m): 6:23pm On Aug 30 |
beautyuche: ๐ค [b]1. Thank you. God is the over all boss. Well it can be human error, you know, human and typo error is acceptable in all organisations. What you should focus on is to see your VISA inside your passport physically ๐ค 2. Approved and Issued are interwoven so you can be dancing to Phyno or Mr Raw. Best Wishes ๐ |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by OyoTunjiUSA(m): 6:33pm On Aug 30 |
tundesto: ๐ค 1. Naturally, you are supposed to wait for the email from the USA embassy before you can be able to proceed into doing anything on the new website, ie emergency appointment, cancellation, etc. But if you were able to beat the introduction email, and created profile , then i believe you just did that out of curiosity. 2. The embassy will send the normal protocol email to you when it gets to your turn. For example, are you able to see reschedule or emergency appointment in the profile you created? I doubt it. But following the email from the embassy will give you those options. Best Wishes ๐ |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by OyoTunjiUSA(m): 6:43pm On Aug 30 |
Cashmadam: ๐ค 1. USA embassy circulated the deadlines to pay MRV physically and online prior to the take off of the update, so if anyone paid at a later time or missed the payment validity, then, he or she should take the blame. 2. You can use this idea ; Go to the new website as if you wanted to start afresh, sign up, choose payment option , and use your old MRV reference number as the payment confirmation, and see if it's going to be acceptable. 3. If sense-2 above does not work, then you can call the helpline, otherwise, you will have to follow the new procedure absolutely. Best Wishes ๐ |
