FVA89:
Fellow colleagues on this journey, please I would to know if anyone has been able to get a date in Lagos recently on the new booking website. I don't want a story that touches. After choosing Lagos, getting a date before December becomes difficult

Hi,

I like to ask a few questions especially as regards interpretation. My mummy's interview is coming up in two weeks and she would need an interpreter. Does the embassy provide this service by default? Or do I have to mention somewhere in the application that we need an interpreter?

OyoTunjiUSA:


Thanks. this is eye opening

1. You will receive collection notification email when your VISA is ready. They have your file and info on record. Always check junk, spam and the main inbox.

2. In the meantime, track your VISA status here first :

Track visa .

https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?App=NIV

3. After that, go to the new website (AVIT) and sign up to raise a ticket (complain/query) quoting your submission slip, appointment or whatever support documents you can attach,

Avits website

https://www.usvisaappt.com/visaapplicantui/login

4. Finally, go to the new Pick Up/Drop-Off agency /company website . You will sign up and schedule appointment for your pick up. You can attach your VISA status printout if it's ready.
You will eventually receive your VISA from here or they redirect you to appropriate DHL offices in your given location.

hello, the earliest date I am seeing now in Lagos as of today is July 2025, I got Oct 2025 and was able to reschedule to April 2025 some days back, and hoping I get to see an earlier date soon.

OyoTunjiUSA:

1. AVITS will not allow you to submit the ticket, because the meal you wanted to buy with the ticket has already being served on your table.

2. If your appointment is physical, attend your interview based on your last VISA appointment (Oct, 2024) but you must print out the new letter and take both letters along on your interview day.

FOR IW

3.. Your appointment confirmation letter from AVITS is blank in order to not cause confusion with OIS letter " because OIS letter appointment date is the one you will use to submit. Follow the guideline i gave to @ifyx12 on sense - 4 above.

Embassy provides interpreter upon request at the interview.

FVA89:

Thank you I am confuse right now, I need two slot for myself and my child we want to attend graduation of my f1 in December I don't know how to get two slot at the same time for both of us

IamMomoh:
Anyone found a solution to the duplicate application problem?

phoyeks:

Congratulations too!

When did you submit yours? In Lagos too?

Bsihdjn:


I guess no one is answering the question. I've checked my ceac status daily for over two weeks no changes in the status. I will just go back to the OIS to confirm if the documents had been delivered.

Slymod:


The new AVITS website is messy. I cancelled an appointment (for someone) that has visa payment verification issue (another pending issue). I tried restarting the application and got the nasty 'duplicate application' error. The thing is every passport number serves as a new applicant that can't be currently deleted by the user. A way for now is to create a support ticket requesting customer support to delete it. Your support ticket will hanging there without response except you call their customer support.

laprem90:



Can you please share their customer support number? I have not been able to locate it. Thank you

yoyome20:


I do not know how to do this, maybe someone in the house will help answer on how to book a group appointment on the new web site and i think some had mentioned that if you have genuine reasons for wanting a sooner date you can also request for that and if granted you will be given a sooner date in Lagos so you can make your graduation in December.

FVA89:

Thanks. Please if you get a date in 2024 in Lagos please let me know. I will appreciate this info

LadyCaplin:
Hi,

You need to keep checking and might take a while (7weeks in my case) for the status to change.

Be patient and pray whilst at it.

Hope this helps.

shekhaz:
Please how can one include dependent on the new website. I was told I have to do it separately with different email for I and each of my kids. Please how true is this? Any tips or advice on how to proceed. I started my application to proceed to payment but no could not find any part to include them. This is where I am confused

FVA89:
I urgently need an advice
Can my wife and child apply for a B visa to attend my graduation in december, though they have been denied an f2 visa 3 times before. Have you seen or know any one who has done this before? Is it allowed? I want to pay for visa fee now that there is a Date for b visa but I want to be sure so that I don't lose my money

Hello Gurus in the house

Pls I just need clarification. I submitted my Passport for US Visa renewal through the Dropbox process on August 20th at DHL Abuja but indicated my collection point to be DHL, Port Harcourt. I haven't received any email or text message since then to know whether it is ready or not or whether DHL, Port Harcourt Office is still the collection point. Is there anyone in this situation and what's the current position? I would be glad to receive a response. Thanks

IamMomoh:


It’s extremely hard but not impossible. If the home ties wasn’t strong enough for F2, I don’t think it will be enough for B. They might just meet a VO who is kind enough to show them favor hence I’m not saying you shouldn’t give it a try. Aren’t you applying for OPT and getting a job? You could use the job to try the F2 again when you’re on OPT.

Hey 🤠

Here is the embassy guidelines:

1. To schedule an appointment for you and your family members, please sign up first on usvisaappt.com.

2. Once the account was created, on ''My Dashboard'', click on ''Create New'' button in order to start the scheduling process; you will need to choose the application country, the service type, the visa category and visa class.

3. Before paying the visa fee, you will have the option to add the family members applying together with you, and to provide the personal details for each applicant. The visa fees will be calculated based on the information you provide, and you will be able to schedule appointments for each family member.



****. Please note however that some U.S. Embassies or Consulates may request the visa applicants to schedule individual appointments; in this case the option to add the family members will not appear during the process, and you will need to schedule each person separately. You will not need however to create separate accounts for each person, but use the same account as for your application.
