This kind of patient is very exhasting. I am due to travel for an event for October, it was for this sole reason I made another MRV, imagine paying over 600K in one year and I really need this money. TBF I am upset. The event is for 1st week of October 2024. I don't even know what to do. I have called the help desk several times complaining bitterly, from thier end they can see my payment has been updated, meanwhile from myn end I cant see anything. I am just livid and disappointed.

dexydidi: π€ 1. Unfortunately, you will not be refunded if the MRV payments has been remited into the US embassy account, which i am 90% certain has. 2. At the end, you will have to make use of one MRV payment. The embassy constantly warns every one to not make a 2nd payment if the first one was having issues. They asked you to raise a ticket and wait. π |

Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Olawales93(m): 2:37pm On Sep 24 |
Hello, Can anyone please assist in providing response to the enquiry below? I had paid and booked group appointment for my wife and 3 kids on the old portal for Oct. 2025. However, after the migration to the new portal, I could no longer do group appointment for them and had to resort to individual appointments. Despite this constraint, I was fortunate to book for my first child (<3 year old) and one of my twin (<1 year) for Nov. 08, while my wife and the other twin booked for a week later - Nov. 15. Are they expected to attend the interviews differently considering the twins are below a year or we can all attend on the first date and see if the 4 of them will be attended to? The challenge is we reside in a city far from Lagos and would require flight bookings and accommodation for each trip. Attempt to get the contact center was not unsuccessful. |

Thank you sir for your response. In my case, my DS-160 will expire on the 30th of September. I don't know what to do because the Visa payment was made with the details on the DS-160. Visa Fee was paid on the 17th September and till today it has not been acknowledged that the payment was made. I have logged out several times, change browser. I have raised a ticket still no response. I will keep my mind off it as you said because I didn't sleep well throughout last week. Sending a virtual hug passing through same challenge. 4 Likes |

I made visa fee payment on 3rd September 2024 on the new Avits website through loca bank transfer (First Bank) in Sagamu, Ogun State. I later found out that the bank official erroneously input '1' instead of 'I' in the Ammentum number. However, that was corrected and the payment was acknowledged as the AVIT system prompted 'Bank payment updated successfully'. Surprisingly I couldn't proceed to the appoitment booking page for days, and this prompted me to cancel this pending appointment process and initiated a fresh one. Unfortunately, I had been unable to proceed in this process as the system kept on prompting 'Duplicate applicant found for this user' message each time I try again and again. This situation is very frustrating, I made effort to generate ticket three times and all not yet attended to. Please has anyone encountered this issue and how was it fixed? The support tickets I created are just there on thier system not attended to. No response since then. In case anyone has any way of resolving this issue pls kindly reach me 08029449770, 08032077657 |

Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by Belizean: 9:06pm On Sep 24 |
Sorry I'm not sure if this is the right place for this but what is the likelihood of getting a tourist Visa after a 10 year ban has elapsed? Context: Overstayed at the age of 15 and left after graduating from secondary school at the age of 18. Tried applying for a visa at the age of 23 and was denied and given a 10 year ban. Ban expired many years ago and I've tried applying twice since then and both times was denied. I've now been married to a Nigerian American citizen for 6 years and have a 6 year old son who is also a a Nigerian American national. Does this put me in a better position for a tourist visa? What can I do to increase my chances? Husband plans on filing for me next year but he will be travelling to the US for his sisters wedding soon and I would like to join him |

Does the consulate interview people on Saturday? My grandma was initially scheduled to interview back in May 2024. But the consulate rescheduled the interview to November and it falls on a Saturday. Iβm not sure if i should call them to ask if it was a mistake. Any one with such experience should kindly share. Thank you! |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by yoyome20: 5:42am On Sep 25 |
Kakajewel: None of these dates, The 5th was not there when I checked which means it dropped after I clicked mine and someone has already booked it. Just keep checking you will get an earlier date. From what I am seeing they keep dropping new dates and slots and people quickly book them, in my case it was pure luck that I was online when it dropped. It will all end in praise. 3 Likes |

Dollypiizu: π€ * NO ! Except you are a top govt official, known billionaires, top celebrities, international criminals etc, and for security, medical or political emergency purposes, USA embassy is usually closed on weekends and holiday periods. 1. Mama will be reschedule naturally b/cos it's definitely a system error, but to clear your mind, you can raise a ticket or call the help-line with the copy of the appointment letter. π |

OyoTunjiUSA: Oh wow I did not know this. Can you please help me out here? I submitted my parents DS160 using Lagos as their location but booked their visa appointments on the new site in Abuja. Is this going to be a problem? I went back and forth between Abuja and Lagos a month ago because I could not get a convenient date on the old platform before the migration. I had to pay new visa fees on this new platform and was able to get separate dates. Is this going to be a problem for them? Or should I fill out a new Ds160 for Abuja and have them take both DS160 to their interview? |
Re: Usa Visit Visa Part 5 by OyoTunjiUSA(m): 6:14am On Sep 25 |
Belizean: π€ 1. If the USA immigration/government sees you as a threat to their society they could have banned you for life. Mind you, the sin you committed was in your teenage years, and perhaps facilitated by your parents or guardian, so that era is gone. You now have a clean record like before, it is only the injury scare that is hunting your mind and the mind of all consulars you will be meeting π 2. Break your mind off the negatives. Stop acting in the presence of the consular like a suspect, you are free but consular is studying your body languages. The point is , you were not qualified for both VISAS you had applied for , and you were denied just like others. 3. Go ahead and apply for your B2 VISA, and indicate in the necessary space your VISA ban , do not lie in any of your VISA application (DS-160) because they have the record but not because for the embassy to use it against you, except, if you commit another crime. PS: If you qualified for the B2 VISA they will definitely grant you. Just go straight and don't lie. π 1 Like |

Nitta08: Hey π€ 1. Fill another Abuja-oriented DS-160 for each of them , be certain that their photo is shown, print copy for each of them and they should attend their interview with " 1 copy of old DS-160 and 1 copy of new DS-160 each. PS: @OtunOba15 VISA situation is different to yours, therefore, you cannot totally align your parents VISA application towards his. PS: Also be careful, do not jump into every VISA success story.
