I gave the OIS staff my GTB payment receipt, my OIS acknowlgment slip, my ds 160 confirmation letter, 2 passport photographs and passport booklet. She gave me back the GTB receipt, she use took the OIS acknowledgement slip and typed on her computer to confirm my appointment was booked for that day (she confirmed and gave me back the OIS paper) she also checked my last visa and confirmed that I qualified for IW. Then she took my passport booklet, 2 passport photographs and my ds confirmation letter, pinned them together and kept. I filled the register and that was it. No question was asked about my old appointment which was scheduled for December 2 2024 and no question was asked about the AVITS appointment cos itโs not needed there. Masorich: 1 Like |

yoyome20: So I finally stumbled upon lots of available dates yesterday and picked an earlier date. However, Iโd leaned into some clues from you, in that, I picked a farther/less preferred date then that somehow opened additional earlier date slots which Iโd preferred. Or could have all be coincidental following their website updates. All the same, Iโm grateful for your help. ๐๐พ |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by ultraken: 3:43pm On Sep 21 |
Masorich: You should have 3 reschedule attempts, so I'd say use your first attempt to pick the earliest dates that's available. It might be Nov 2024, through May 2025, I'm not sure, I don't have any more attempts so I can't see what is available anymore. Once you've secured a decent date, then check periodically for closer dates. How I found my October 2024 date was I noticed that there were additional dates that were added to the already existing fake dates, so I tried one and it got approved. Good luck. 1 Like |

Good Evening people, I paid for my MRV yesterday afternoon and have not yet been able to select a date. It hasn't even acknowledged that I have paid. Please what is happening? Someone said it takes 24 hours to update and this is more than 24 hours already |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Danielochekwu88(m): 8:25pm On Sep 21 |
Hi everyone, I recently rescheduled a B1/B2 visa for October but I'm yet to receive a confirmation email or a notification asking me to confirm my availability for the interview. I also noticed there's no place to update my DS160 number on the Avits website like we used to do on USTraveldocs. Should I be worried? Or can I prepare to attend the interview on the new date? |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by OyoTunjiUSA(m): 9:18pm On Sep 21 |
dexydidi: ๐ค 1. The fastest payment method is via CARD, which will be confirmed immediately, and also allows you to continue the booking of your appointment, though Card payment will be charged in USD. All other payment options, especially EFT (electronic fund transfer) will take 1 - business day or longer. 2. In this respect, the very most important task for you is to keep your payment reference or confirmation, and if by Monday you have not received the confirmation of payment or continuation of appointment process, then you can raise a ticket . Your payment confirmation is what you are even supposed to be looking out for right now. ๐ |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by OyoTunjiUSA(m): 9:35pm On Sep 21 |
Danielochekwu88: ๐ค 1. If you have booked your appointment prior to the update on the old website, and the embassy sent a link email to you in order to be able to confirm your profile on AVITS, and you did that successfully by rescheduling your old appointment to October on AVITS, then you are free to attend your October appointment. But if your new appointment letter on AVITS is blank, then you will have to attend your appointment based on your old date. Normally, you are supposed to attend your interview with both old and new appointment letters. 2. If you have any of your information to update , fill another VISA application (ds-160) , and take both old and new DS-160 confirmation print outs to your interview. ๐ 1 Like |

yoyome20: I got May. There were like 8 dates available in May and about 5-6 in April but May worked out better for me and I figโd it would be safe to still keep one more chance of changing a date instead of using all 3 trials at once. 1 Like |

Everyone seems to be in a hurry to get appointments and all thereby making mistakes. Please it is a gradual process. The consulate knows what they are doing. Stop making double payments, your first payment is still valid. They will eventually migrate everyone. We also need to note that individual cases vary. It was same with the old website. Some applications were faster than others. So let everyone be patient and allow them do their job. Also check every box in your mail for info incase it went to spam. 4 Likes |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by damiolu: 11:31pm On Sep 21 |
Good day, I did this and on the new email, it said the same thing, duplicate transaction. I couldnโt raise a ticket because that would require having a profile existing on the new email and I canโt do that. I tried to login into the old email after deactivating it and it says used inactive. OyoTunjiUSA: |

Then I left the embassy. Now after chanhing to new booking platform. I no longer see my date, instead I am only seeing the expired appointment which was the one of May |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by yoyome20: 4:16am On Sep 22 |
Adewaale: Hi , that's not a problem , i try my best to keep checking and hoping to get a closer date, so i will update if any pop up . |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Morna: 6:07am On Sep 22 |
Thank you for your very helpful answers to questions raised on the platform. Please I need to reschedule my date. Once I see an earlier date I like and click on it and the time, "BOOK POST APPOINTMENT" will pop up after which "slot already used" pops up. Please what does "BOOK POST APPOINTMENT" mean? I was wondering if this is for those who have already done their visa interview and waiting to retrieve their passport. Thank you in advance. ultraken: |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by OyoTunjiUSA(m): 6:58am On Sep 22 |
heartlove: ๐ค 1. Go and fill your VISA application form (DS-160) first. https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/ 2. Then visit AVITS to sign up and make payment. Always remember to download, screenshot or note down payment reference pls. https://www.usvisaappt.com/visaapplicantui/login 3. Once your payment is confirmed on AVITS, then , initiate the booking of your appointment. If you are having issues or delay in booking appointment on AVITS, abandon the process (ONLY IW - Interview Waiver/Visa Renewal Applicant) and proceed to OIS in order to book an appointment for your Drop- off/ Pick up. https://www.oisservices.com/services 4. After successful scheduling on OIS, print out your drop - off date , print it out and you are free to visit on your appointment day. OIS is the most important to IW applicants, and OIS appointment scheduled is what IW applicants will use to drop off their renewal application. You must, however go along with evidence of your VISA fee payment on AVITS. ๐ |

Hello everyone. Please are we not allowed to upload a new DS160? I originally filled Lagos in the submitted DS160 for my parents but switched to Abuja due to availability of closer dates. I have been trying to see how to fill a new DS160 and submit but support hasnโt responded. |

ehiremen2002: ๐ค * Your question is not clear enough, but i am persuaded that, you will soon come out with more revelations ๐ 1. You wasted your 2 - years of waiting via your own , or your agent' s fault because, the USA embassy actually sent reschedule notification OR, you should have logged in intermittently and would have been able to catch up with the rescheduled appointment. 2. If you have arrived on AVITS via the initiative email from the USA embassy, and you are seeing expired appointment, then, it seems you are on your way to buying another VISA fee. PS: You may try call the embassy help-staffs or raise a ticket ,and let's see may be luck might intervene. Also, if you can screenshot your AVITS message on NL, it would be open to general opinion. ๐ 1 Like |

temiteetope: ๐ค 1. Yes, you are not allowed for now to update your profile on AVITS. Therefore, go ahead in completing another DS-160 and take both new and old DS-160 confirmation printouts to your interview. ๐ 1 Like |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Babyngchuks: 10:26am On Sep 22 |
There was an error in the payment. I used an alternate phone number instead of the one I used for the registration. Now I tried correcting the registration by changing the number in the AVITS, and it brings me back to generating receipts. What should I do? |
