The document handling is currently a mess. OiS will not inform you to pick up. And I think you are being given outdated information.


This is where I booked my own pick up but the link is currently broken.

Hi Jideagboola15

I empathize with you regarding the disruption. Currently, AVIT is undergoing service upgrades and database adjustments, which have caused periodic service downtime. However, the site is now restored. You can finally proceed with booking your appointment.

Wishing you good luck with your interview.

1. You have to wait for 24 hrs and receive the payment confirmation before you can proceed. It can be 48hrs at time. Log in, and log out of AVITS twice in a day, the page will change for you to continue when they are ready. If by Friday nothing happens, then raise a ticket and call them next week.

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by SOPWriter: 8:50am On Oct 09
Hi Obueze,

The issue you're facing is likely due to a typing error. Double-check that you're entering the Application ID exactly as it appears on your screenshot, including uppercase/lowercase letters, numbers, and ensuring you're not mistaking characters like 0 for O.

However, if you're certain of the accuracy of your inputs, try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser.

Good luck with your application.


Obueze:
Good evening.
Please, I tried to fill DS-160 today but after filling out some information,saved, and coming back to retrieve and continue it was showing incorrect ID. I did not copy and paste the ID cos I screenshot it. I carefully typed it but it was showing incorrect ID.
Then I noticed that just below the application ID, there's expiry date showing as 9/30/2024.
Can someone please explain to me what the issue is.
Thanks.

Hi Oducheebuka,

Congratulations on your admission!

While community college approval rates can be relatively low, I'd like to address your concerns. US Visa interview questions are dynamic and may cover various aspects of your application.

Generally, questions do focus on:

1. Reasons for choosing the US, school, degree, and program
2. Academic and career goals
3. Financial plans in place to ensure you successfully obtain your proposed diploma.
4. Intent to return to Nigeria afterwards

For a successful interview, be prepared to:

1. Demonstrate genuine interest in the program (through your knowledge of the courses and expectations from the program).
2. Link 1 with your relevant skills and experiences
3. Show eagerness

P.S. There are lots of transcripts on this thread already that could be helpful. The tips I provided are mere additional guidance to boost your propensity of scaling through as a community college candidate, and I hope they help.

Best of luck with your interview, and congratulations in advance!


oducheebuka:
Good Evening everyone I joined recently and really I'm getting good information on this platform. I got admission to a Community college in the US and my interview date is next month. I'll like to get brief on likely questions and appropriate answers. If possible get transcripts from those who have attended.
Will it be a red flag if one of my sponsors is based in the US? My father is the major sponsor. Thanks for sharing your ideas

Hi @RealTrump!

Does this apply to only document pick up? I saw that you mentioned date scheduling. Please pardon me if my question sounds stupid. US Embassy has messed up my brain because of interview schedule for visa renewal. And I need it so badly now. Thank you.

Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Timgreat31(m): 1:05pm On Oct 09
My is a renewal as well and I've been waiting on the preapproval request for the past one month and I need this visa urgently. I just tried another browser now (from Chrome to Edge) but it's still the same.
Anyone with any other tip or option should please help me. Thank you.
vickysunmomi:


I was able to schedule my visa (renewal Interview waiver) last night. I have been pending appointment request for a month, got canceled and I re-uploaded my 1-20.

The only thing I did differently was to use another browser. I didn't know if that helped or not. But yes, I was able to proceed last night. Lagos Consulate.

Please note, mine is renewal
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Timgreat31(m): 1:10pm On Oct 09
Mine is also a renewal. Please share any info that may help. Thank you.

ajibola0908:
Thank you very much. Mine is renewal too. Was your previous pre approval rejected or you just cancelled it yourself?
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Timgreat31(m): 1:25pm On Oct 09
I'm yet to receive the email, which is very worrysome for me. I've been on preapproval request is being processed for one month.

I need this visa urgently. Do you think patin another visa fee and feeling another ds-160 with Abuja choice will work?

vickysunmomi:


I got a letter, appointment confirmation letter with the option to either bring the documents to the embassy (free) or schedule appointment with OIS to drop off my documents.
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 18 by Timgreat31(m): 1:40pm On Oct 09
Hi!

If i may ask, so, you just ignored Lagos, filled another ds-160 and chose Abuja right?

How long did it take to get confirmation email, if there any?

How long did the whole process take to get schedule a date?

I'm considering switching to Abuja if that will help. Thank you.

I did not remember saying I got an email. Do you have a any letter from your graduate coordinator??
I uploaded my signed I-20, letter from department, screenshot of my pending thing etc to the ticket I created.

Like I said, I don't really know what really worked for me.

Thanks for response.

I didn't get any letter from my Grad Coordinator. I only have the signed I-20 for traveling, which I have uploaded. Are you suggesting I get a letter from my grad coord?

Hi Chally11,

I empathize with you over your refusal. Moreover, I would like to know if you have a specific question or need an answer that could help you scale through your next interview successfully.

I'll be expecting your response. Cheer up, it's just a delay. Your present distrust will eventually end with lots of celebrations.

Gretmang:


Yes. That’s what I did. Got my visa yesterday. This is what you do; fill a new DS-160, choose Abuja this time. Go to the appointment booking page. Fill in your info and all that. Note that if u enter the same passport number that u enter in the appointment booking page for Lagos inside this new one that you’re booking at Abuja, it say “duplicate user found” so what you do basically is to change one digit in your passport number (preferably the last number). Go ahead and book. Your appointment slip will come out with this new passport number. Don’t worry! It doesn’t matter , no one cares since your DS-160 confirmation page and your passport already bear the correct passport number. No one even notice, cuz I initially plan to tell them, but the appointment slip was only useful at the gate when they’re validating your appointment on their system.
