i have a date scheduled for October 1st and i don't have the print out yet because i applied to get an expedited date due to my programme start date was August but it wasn't granted. so i had to go through the process of filing a new DS 160 form and also securing admission for spring so as to enable me update my profile on the UStravels.doc and go with the date i have this October. but unfortunately i haven't been able to access my profile since then as there's a change in website. I even wrote to them but i didn't get no positive feedback. please can anyone guide me on what to do next?

1. Don't panic as October is still far. Your previous appointment is still valid , and i am very certain that you will receive the introduction (my language) email from the embassy, which will enable you to access the new webpage .
Millions of applicants are still going to attend before you, so the sending of the introduction email is by batches.

2. Go back to your email and look out for the first confirmation of appointment, you should be able to print out your appointment letter from there, and take the new DS-160 and the old one together when attending your interview
This should be applied , in the case where you did not receive any email from the embassy till like 1- week to your appointment day.

PS: I strongly believe you will receive your intro-email before this month runs out.

@OyoTunjiUSA Thank you so much for your detailed explanation. i do appreciate this so much. This is truly helpful. But about the print out,My Gmail wipes off spam messages after 30 days and the confirmation message came as spam message. Thanks for your time once again.

It didn't take me to the page where I will get a temporary account number tied to my visa payment to Firstbank. Instead after download, it takes me to that deposit slip reference number and date page. Please help me

Hi all, please I just created an account with the new platform. Sorry if I am asking a question that seems absurd (Novice here).

How easy is it to pick dates with this new platform? If it is not different from the other platform, what dates are currently available?

Thanks!

There are dates in Abuja but it looks like Lagos folks have not been able to pick dates (at least from comments here).

@shueld06 and any other Lagos applicant.

Is there any progress from “preapproval request processing”?

And has any Lagos embassy applicant been able to schedule date on the new portal?

Good day Senior,

Please, on the new US Visa scheduling website, is it now possible to pay for SEVIS fee online using a USD issued Nigerian card? Or someone abroad will still have to make the SEVIS fee payment for me?


Thank you.

To save yourself a lot of stress, just use pay4me app. It worked for me when I wanted to pay for my Sevis. I highly recommend

Please help me here. I made payment for visa interview at a First Bank branch on Friday. According to Avits, I was supposed to go back after 24 hours to pick a date for my interview. However, every time that I go to their website to put my deposit slip number, I am getting an error message that; "Given payment receipt number doesn't exist". I have already submitted a support ticket. I am not sure when they would respond. Has anyone ever been in this situation before? How did you resolve it or what do you suggest I do? Thanks for your help
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by DanteSilva(m): 10:35pm On Sep 09
I'm in this same situation, I paid since Tuesday last week.

1. Your major is still Nursing, but what you saw in your I-20 is code name " Classification of Instructional Program (CIP) " which is understandable to all USA embassies, and all institutions in the USA, in a situation where you may want to transfer your I 20 in the future.

2. Lonestar College was right to have labelled your nursing program as a liberal science, because nurses must understand little science but much of human beings. Anything liberal provides you with skills in " critical thinking, effective communication, compassion, and collaboration which are major must-have hallmark of professional nurses.

3. Naturally, a USA consular officer usually will ask an F-1 VISA applicant the question " How many school did you apply to ? In order to deduce your genuine eagerness for admission, knowing well that you should not rely on one institution if you really want to meet the target of an entry term, and expects you to apply to at least 2 institutions simultaneously.

4. Despite the above, honesty is necessary in the presence of the consular at times, you can tell the consular that you do not necessarily have to waste application resources on other schools , when Lonestar has shown positive response to your application, or you simply did not want to attend any other institution other than Lonestar etc.

Good morning please I tried booking an appointment on the AVITS website, when I got to the payment section, I used pay4me app, I was told my payment was not successful so a refund was initiated, I tried using a providus platinum card still same problem. so I cancelled that appointment and restarted a new one, now when I want to submit my passport details so I can be redirected to the make payment page it was telling me duplicate applicant existed, I have a raised a support ticket since a week ago still in review.
I picked Lagos US embassy as my interview place
please how can I rectify this error.
Thank you
