1. Yes. Embassy will provide interpreter in one of our major national languages , but if Mama's language does not have an interpreter (on that particular day of interview), then, the embassy will ask her to bring her personal interpreter (possibly re-application or 221g scenario).

PS: I am certain of Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba interpreters at the USA embassy.

🙏

Thank you @OyoTunjiUSA

Between trying again for f2 during opt and trying with a B visa which one do you think will raise an eye brown base on previous denial. Won't they say why am I doing opt when I promised to come back after graduation?

OPT doesn’t raise any suspicion. Especially if your family says they are only going to visit and return to Nigeria. I’ve heard of F2 being approved during OPT after many previous denials. I’m no expert on this. I’m simply telling you what I’ve seen.

Anyone noticed that dates in 2024 are now available

Abi na system error

Please anyone else having issues with getting the same date for 2 family members? Because they requested individual applications, it’s almost impossible to get the same date for my parents. I was able to reschedule my dad to June 2025 just now and immediately tried picking same date for my mum so they can go for their interview together. That date was immediately no longer available. Anyone else having the same problem?

I am having the same problem also. Trying to apply for my Dad and Mum but I can only select one adult at a time.

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.

I will appreciate if you will let me know whatever they say when you go to the OIS office.
Thanks

Quick question guys...

I have an interview coming up soon. I intend to fill a new ds-160. Problem is that, there's no feature available to update it on the new portal. My appointment letter carries the old ds-160.

Do I just show up for my interview with both old and new ds-160's?

Or do I raise a ticket regarding that matter?

All responses will be appreciated, thanks!!

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.

Hello,
Please I have a serious challenge. I created my profile and made payment, but before the payment was confirmed I found out I could add my dependents. I proceeded to add them but the total amount was still including mine so I could not pay for them. Now my payment has been confirmed and we have all been issued IW confirmation letters however, their own letter doesn't carry a receipt ID (for obvious reasons) and there is no way to pay for them as it is. Tried to create a new profile for them but it is saying duplicate applicant found. What can I do please?

Hello bro.

Thanks for your efforts here, really appreciate.
I have my US visit visa courtesy of this thread, now the issue is that i want to apply for my wife and 2 kids.
Will i create different DS-160 form for them?

beautyuche:
Hi, I was at the DHL office in trans Amadi last week and they no longer received passport. If you don’t have an immediate travel plan you can wait on OIS services to get your passport to you. However, if you need your passport back Your best bet is to send someone to OIS office in Abuja with a letter of authorization and then have them send your passport to you by DHL. Now this will cost you money. Total cost I paid was 48k to OIS and 15k to DHL.
I hope you are clear with this.

Terrible that mighty America is doing rhis sloppy job with ois on the visa issue.in 2o24...am super disappointed at rhe too many glitches associated with this planned migration, am totally gobsmacked that usa is falling hand like this

Is there anyone who can share the current calendar for Abuja, B visa please?

Has anyone done an expedited application before? I paid for a visa fee in March, However, I want to apply for an expedited application.

I realized with the site they changed the bank to First Bank, whereas I paid to GTB in March.

I raised a ticked explaining the situation and the issue. What is the typical response time when tickets are raised?

Do I have to pay for a new MRV to get an interview date and for my trip in March?

I would appreciate a well-detailed response. Thank you

I paid for MRV in March but I didn’t use it to book an appointment, I am trying to do so now but I can’t find anywhere where I can add it on Avits, they keep telling me to pay again. How do I go about it please

Yes. Each applicant has to fill the DS-160 form. One form per applicant.

kaylight:
I have just switched to the new usvisaappt and I have '3 reschedules available' on my us visa appointment date. While trying to reschedule my appointment, the date picked is showing "slot is already used."

However, I have exceeded the three time appointment change limit from the former portal before switching to the new one.

What is the solution to be able to reschedule on the new portal.

Thank you.

You have already exceeded the number of reschedule alloted to each applicant. Just stick to your current appointment.

Good day here, please anyone who also experienced “preapproval request processing” after payment on the new portal,

Please how long did it take?

Hello.

Were you able to resolve this by raising a ticket, please?

Cashmadam:


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.

Hello is it possible to still get an appointment for an October business visa

I’m having same issue right now. Please if you find a way around it kindly let me know thanks. I have opened a ticket about this but no response till now. I don’t know if any one have a number that can be called

Guys, my new account has been created, I can login and start process for appointment application, but cannot go pass 'choose a post', cos no option. Any thought?

Hello.

Were you able to resolve this by raising a ticket, please?

I’m in the similar boat. After 221g letter, it stated only that she needs a new appointment , no documents were missing. So I purchased a new MRV on the old system, but as dates were in 2026, I held off on booking an appointment as 221G would be valid for only a year. New website vendor told me to create an account in the new system.

It’s been 4 weeks, and created two tickets that keep being checked off resolved but no resolution given. DS-160 isn’t being accepted and they keep stating I should wait 2-3 days for the profile to be migrated.

At this point, I think I’ll just have to lose the previous mrv fee and pay for a new one ( third one now) and fill out a new DS 160, because the embassy I think has very unskilled people manning their help desk. I have worked in IT help support before, but I don’t think they even read your question.

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

Please I need assistance on this question because I am having similar issues

How can I include dependents on the new website? I was informed that I need to create separate accounts using different emails for myself and each of my children. Is this accurate? Any tips or advice on how to move forward would be appreciated. I’ve already started my application and am ready to proceed to payment, but I couldn’t find a section to add them, which is where I’m getting confused.

Hello Everyone,

Thank you

When did you make the payment ?? it would help if you gave it like 24hrs to reflect

Please were you able to book the dates? Because I’ve just been getting error messages. Also, can you see additional open slots between Nov 7th 2024 and July 9th 2025? Cos I couldn’t.
