I’m not sure that would work. Try paying in Naira using the First Bank link.

You will receive an activation email link about 72hours for your avits account from avits to activate your user account. The activation link expires in 72hrs(3days) from the time you receive the email.

1. Download the new PdF letter like that ( either showing or not showing) and combine it with the old letter , and let Mama take both to the interview based on old date scheduled.
The new AVITS letter does not indicate date or month in order to not contradict the old one. The AVITS letter is just a formality, but print it like that.

PS: Mama should attend her interview based on the old letter.

PS: For IW applicants. They should download AVITS (blank ) letter , and proceed to OIS to register and book Drop Off/Pick Up appointment. IW applicant must follow OIS new appointment but must go with AVITS letter.

No issues, your plans changed that's all.
As long as you can answer where you are going to and how long you are staying it's fine

Thank you.

Yes she'll get the email
I applied last year also, interview is February, 2025 and I received the activation email. Profile activated, appointment letter on it with the exact date I had on the former website.

toluwanimi07:
Guys please my mom's visa interview is next year January she applied for it over a year ago and before the moving of websites. I want to know if i will also get a new email to login to the new website since she already has her interview date from the previous website? Or i will still need to get another email?

Hi....
I have followed your enquiry and we are in same situation. I payed in the previous website, didn't book any appointment, created a profile on the new website (AVITS) and yet to get migration link in email.

Have you resolved it, please?

RoyV:
Thank you for responding- quite helpful.

Please, did you create a new profile on AVITS before receiving the link? Or you simply waited to receive the link? Because I paid via GTB before migration but did not book an appointment because I was waiting for migration. Created a new profile on AVITS on September 2nd because I thought that links were only being sent to people with appointments. Maybe I should delete my newly created profile on AVITS then, and wait for the link.

Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by harma(m): 12:22am On Sep 20
Hello everyone please I need help ooo.
I had an IW appointment that was reschedule automatically to August 2024 from my initial appointment date in Nov 2024 by the US consulate.

However I was unable to drop off my documents at the time due to work obligation. And was unable to reschedule another date as instructed in the email sent to me, because the old system became unavailable.

I am yet to get an email from the new service provider to migrate to the new portal.

What should I do, I still have my MRV intact on the old portal.

It's been 3 weeks since the new portal has been up, and I am yet to get the migration email.

Thanks

Hello House,
I would like to ask if anyone knows if it’s possible or if anyone has actually tried changing their interview venue from Lagos to Abuja in the new portal/website?
I know in the process of registering in the new portal there’s a note that says the venue cannot be changed once selected but I just thought to ask just incase it is in reality flexible and one can change. Thank you.

I'm surprised there aren't earlier Lagos interview dates. Two days ago I got an end of October 2024 date for Abuja and there were several November 2024 dates available. If you're in a hurry why not use the Abuja embassy instead?

All those early date showing are not real … if you try booking it, it will say slot already taken or give you error message, dates are from October/November 2025 downwards

Thank you for the update, I got the receipt eventually, but when I got to Walter Carrington the touts outside were telling people to print another receipt that carries the cgi logo, they said this calmly like they really want to help you, but when i got inside I asked one of the staffs and he told me I was scammed, I saw almost every of the applicant with that same receipt meaning they paid 30-25k, cos the story they are cooking is that without the CGI receipt, one will be turned back. I negotiated to 15k, maybe many people will be able to negotiate too and pay like 25-20k, the bottom line is that I got scammed and other people that fell for that story too. I want to advise anyone that sees this and is going for an interview no matter the persusation pls don't make a photocopy or print out of your data page, or any other document that is been preached to you, it is a scam they don't ask for many things those guy always use scope to sell it to people. DS160, Appointment letter and your receipt are enough. Main docs


Pls i have a question, how were you able to later get the receipt?


Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by RoyV: 7:01am On Sep 20
Hello.

No, I am yet to. Contacted Customer Service and I was asked to wait for an activation/migration link to be sent to me.

1. Practically, you have missed your appointment, but let's see if luck will intervene.

2. Visit the new AVITS website, sign up and open a ticket (complain message) by clicking the support option. Attach your previous appointment letter , Screenshot of the reschedule email, and perhaps MRV payment receipt (merge everything together as PDF), with brief explanation of your situation and submit. Let's hope they give you positive response. You may as well call the embassy helpline. Otherwise, you will purchase another VISA FEE.

1. USA embassy does not post irrelevant or misleading information on their website b/cos of litigation from VISA applicants. So, quoting you above" There is a note that says venue cannot be changed " is true.

If you're referring to Abuja appointments, a lot of the September 2024, October 2024 and December 2024 dates aren't real. I think there was one date in January 2025 that wasn't real either. At first the closest I could get was May 2025, but 4 - 5 days ago before I used my last two reschedules, they populated November 2024 with interview dates (note, on the AVITS system, there were no dates available for November 2024, fake or real). I was able to grab a November 15th, 2024 date. But 4 days ago, I randomly checked and I noticed a few new dates added to October 2024, and just tried it to see what would happen and that's how I used my last reschedule on an October 2024 date.
So if you still have a reschedule left, and your schedule is October/November 2025, you can at least get a May 2025 if the October/November 2024 dates are done. Or wait and try for something better, you might get lucky.

Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by dasayo: 12:42pm On Sep 20
ultraken:


I paid with a credit card (MasterCard) on the new Avits system. After the payment went through (took about 1 min), I selected my interview location and selected a date which got approved. It then showed I had 3 reschedule attempts, so I used them to periodically get closer dates till my last attempt was used on the October 2024 date.

Thank you so much. I guess the issue is on my profile then. I paid via internet banking with First Bank and its just been trouble...

Hello People,

How long does it take for the payment to reflect on your dashboard for the new site? I made the payment just a few minutes ago however I can't schedule an appointment and I have an event for October 4th, this is my second MRV payment. The first was in March and then the second is just now.

While others have migrated their data to the new site, can I get a refund for the one I made in March?

Also how long does it take for the second 1 to reflect?
My first MRV payment was 350k, its too painful

1. Click on " Pending Appointment Request " to continue and once you are able to pick a date and schedule successfully, go ahead and print your appointment confirmation (either blank or not). Take your old appointment letter , and the new one from AVITS along on the day of your interview.
If you are going for IW, go to OIS website , sign up and book another Pick Up/Drop Off appointment, in which you will also merge your previous appointment letter with the OIS letter when going for drop off.

1. I hope this is not " the funniest joke of the week ?
USA embassy does not refund VISA (MRV) fee, and it is clearly stated repeatedly on their website, especially when making payment. You should not have rushed to pay another fee, you should have asked question regarding your appointment here.

2. Just pray that you are not even getting a " double whammy" by having two profiles on AVITS.
Open a ticket (complain message), by navigating the support option in your profile and attach the necessary documents in support of your request. You should also call the support -staffs.
