It is working, click the "generate" button and it generate a reciept that shows a section for Non-FBN account holder. Click the hyperlink and you will be prompted to submit some information. After which it will generate a FBN account for you to pay into. Once you made payment into that account, it automatically confirms payment.

NB: That was based on my experience yesternight. Waiting for the 24hrs wait before booking appointment.
Cheers

1. Login and visit Create a ticket'' option in your scheduling account on usvisaappt.com to send the screenshot of your activation email to the embassy alongside with brief explanation of why you missed the information. They should send a reminder to you " by default " Or call the helpline directly. But don't wait for things to happen. Make it happen.

Hello all, I'll appreciate if I can get answers to my questions here.

I read that DS160 expires after one year.

The DS160 which I used to book my appointment is one year already because I filled it around August 2023.

My appointment is around October 2024.

My question is: do I need to fill another ds160 form. If yes, can I still upload on the new visa site.

NB: I have not received any mail and it is even more than 2 business days since the new service came online.

1. Yes. DS-160 expires after 1 year, but your interview appointment is still valid. To buttress this fact, the USA embassy even stipulates that " your DS-160 uploaded photo must be very recent of not more than 6 months.

2. Go and fill another DS-160 with your recent photo. Yes of course , DS-160 is your main VISA application, so there will always be an avenue to upload it, and update it on any given portal.

PS: You will receive the mail. The update is still ongoing , and the embassy has millions of applicants to deal with.

My dad attended his USA visa interview in abuja last Monday, August 26th. I had signed up on the old appointment page to pick up his passport at DHL benin city. Now, how do we collect his passport or even track his passport? No email was ever sent. Do we keep waiting or do we need to sign up anywhere? Please help. Thanks

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

Hello everyone,

Please advise.

I filled the DS 160 and paid Visa fees to GT bank end of July 2024 for my self and family. On trying to book for appointment I saw the earliest appointment date was in Feb., 2026 so I thought to wait till the new appointment page comes up maybe we will get an earlier date (saw a pop up announcement on the website). I just tried to logon to the new Visa appointment website and it is telling me user is inactive.

I hope we can still proceed to get an appointment.

Thank you

Hello everyone, hope you’re having a good day. I recently arrived in the U.S. on a K1 visa and can’t work legally at the moment. Does anyone know of any job opportunities, possibly under-the-table work? I’m currently in Virginia. I would greatly appreciate any help or leads. Thank you!

To raise a ticket, go to your profile on the new service provider and select support from the list on your left side, it will take you to the page where you will the 'create a ticket' option near the general information just like in the picture attached.

harleybee:


Go to the website: www.usvisaappt.com
Select visa then select country as Nigeria if that is where the appointment will be holding
On the left side of the page down the screen, you will see 2 blue bars showing: click to chat and click to talk under it. You can pick either.

I asked last week if anyone has received a pickup email and no one has shared their experience so I'm sharing mine as I got our passports today.
We were scheduled to leave for the US last Friday but I had to move our flights because we did not have our passports. I'm on a work visa so I have return tickets to the US.
The new site says to wait 48 hours but no one seems to know anything. If it's 48 hours from August 26th, we are way past that and no email still. I understand a system change can be disruptive but this was done very badly.
So today I created an account on the OIS website and set up an appointment to pickup our passports, it let me do so @ $0 and my pickup location was dhl muri okunola which was the delivery location I chose when I set up the interview waiver appointment. I went there and they said they do not have the passports so I should go to OIS. We got to OIS and there was a lot of people waiting to pickup their passports. The common theme seems to be that no one received pickup emails, they just showed up like I did. DHL has been taking passports to OIS so if you can track your passport on the CEAC website and it's been issued for a while and you are on a time crunch, go to OIS. Be prepared to wait a bit, there were lists of names and passport numbers that they were going to check first then they either tell you they don't have it and to come back or they have it. In my case they had our passports and I paid #48k per passport to receive them. Good luck to everyone.
