"Trick to reset expired password on AVITS

If the standard "reset password" option on the AVITS platform isn't functioning as expected for u

here's an alternative method to attempt:

1. Attempt to Sign In: Go through the usual login process three times, even if your password is expired. This will intentionally trigger a lock on your account.

2. Trigger Password Reset After Lock: Once the system has locked your account, initiate a password reset.

3. Check Your Email: At this stage, you should receive an email with a link to reset your password. This method seems to work more reliably for some users, as the locked status may prompt the platform to send a password reset link.

NB: all the old password reset link you sent in the past will all come. Just wait for a while until the last reset link comes so that way, you are choosing the most recent link which has not expired.

Tried it many times but didn’t work for me😭😭

I tried it once and it worked, did you get yourself locked out from your account, did you get the notification that you have exceeded the total number of attempts to log in ?that is the only time you click on the forgot password

Thank you all so much.. it just came in now and I reset it.. thank God for you guys😀😀

I completed the Ds160 for 3 of us and paid the VISa fees on AVITs for the three of us. I can proceed to book appointment for two out of the three accounts. The third account is yet to be validated and as such I cannot proceed to book appointment. It’s been a week now that I made the payment and I have my payment confirmation. I have opened a ticket to seek to have this resolved but it’s on hold. Please what else can I do? I can not book appointment for any of us because of this as the pending account is for our daughter.

Secondly, I selected Lagos while completing the DS 160 and also selected Lagos while creating account on AVITs. Can I book appointment for Abuja? There are no earlier dates in Lagos at the moment as it takes me directly to June and I have not been able to book appointment since our daughter’s payment is yet to be validated even though I have payment confirmation.

Please help!!!

Did it tell you your account has been locked out/disabled?

Hello all, my first time here. It's good to be here. I need help with this, please.
My parents had their appointment scheduled as a joint application through my Dad's account, on the old system for December 2024 (an IW), but it was changed to August without an email notice. They got the migration email and my Dad's account was successfully migrated with the option to reschedule the previous appointment that was rescheduled without notice. Now my question, please.
Since this is a joint application from the old system, will rescheduling the appointment through my Dad's account automatically cover my mum's application? That is, does this still count as a joint application?
I can't seem to get a hint from the Avits site and I have tried support a couple of times, but all they keep saying is there is no joint application for Nigeria on the new system. I think this is different since it is a re-scheduling process for a joint application, but I may be wrong.
Has anyone been in this situation? Please help.
Thanks so much.

You are a life saver. Thank you so much. This actually worked. A little twist was that I put in the wrong password and tried to sign in, so that it can successfully lock me out after three tries. Twas after then I did 'forgot password'. The mails came rushing in. I received 47 mails in all. This may help others. Thank you once again.

Yes of course. You should have opportunity for 3 reschedules.

Though in my own case, I rescheduled only once and the system is telling me I can only reschedule only one again. The system has eaten one of my reschedule opportunity .
I raised a ticket to complain about this, but as usual, nothing was done. It's just there, opened.

I checked my account a few minutes ago, and I think the opportunity to reschedule per applicant is limited to 2 because my account shows that I have 2 reschedules available.

For those who have scheduled or rescheduled an appointment this week, does the appointment calendar still show any available spots in March, April, or May?

Lag is currently in may 2025 and abj is feb, be fast before it gets taken

J3nifer:
When you log in, on your dashboard there should be an option for new appointment. Then you click that. Then it should take you to a new page where you’d answer some questions like your full name, DOB, what visa type you’re applying for, I can’t remember the other prompts. Then you’d get to the part where you’re required to put in your receipt number from your first bank mrv payment. This takes about 24-48 hours to drop. Then after that time you can now choose an appointment date.
I hope this helps somehow.

Okay, thank you very much! I did all that prompt but it keep saying duplicate applicant found. I’ll try to sort this out. Thank you very much.

Hello Guys,

I went for physical interview at the embassy last Thursday with my husband for visa renewal and both visas were approved, only for me to receive a 221G email yday stating that I should come for a follow up interview while my husbands visa was issued.(passport picked).

So a little backstory, my last USA visa was used for birthing even if it was the normal tourist visa, I informed them of my intention to birth there and got the normal email of u can birth but pay your bills etc,

This also came up during the interview that I gave birth in 2017 in the us and all questions she asked was answered but she did not ask me if I paid my bills or ask to see the receipt though I had my receipt and zero balance with me.
She also asked if I wasn't pregnant and won't be using it for medical again as it has been banned since 2020.

So I am just here confused as to what the issue might be cos I haven't heard of anyone who went for physical interview and whose visa was approved but later told to come for follow up interview.

Please house any idea what the issue might be or anyone with similar experience.

Please help.

Yeah, that's why they asked you to come back. Just ensure you have all your receipts.

Thank you!!!. Infact, I have picked up his visa. I will just patiently wait for mine.

Hello, Have you gotten yours now?

Good evening. I want to express my appreciation for the poster that explains how to reset the password. I struggled with this issue for almost a month, but I have finally managed to log into my portal. However, I am trying to reschedule to an earlier date and can't find the button to proceed after selecting the date.

I would greatly appreciate your assistance if anyone has gone through a similar experience. Please note that my account was migrated from the old portal. Thank you!

Thanks for the info

To get USA visa now extremely difficult. Might never apply again… Got my third denial today at the London Embassy. I met like 200 applicants on queue at around 9am on arrival, e just be like Lagos embassy lol 😂. I sha finally got in at 10 am and met a black american lady in her desk nagging all because of finger print. In my mind I was like Alaye calm down na money I pay oo. Finally finished finger print, went on the line for main interview. I was interviewed by one adaripon boy who is mixed, so the interview went like this:

Adaripon VO: good morning,
me: morning with a smile

Adaripon VO: what is the purpose of your trip to the us
me: I’m traveling to newyork city for tourism. I want to visit Niagara Falls, Statue of Liberty and explore the city of New York

Adaripon VO: Are you married?
me: Yes, I have my marriage certificate here and I also have a child

Adaripon VO: What does your wife do?

Adaripon VO: Are you a skilled worker?

Adaripon VO: you have a masters degree in xyz?
me: Yes I came into the uk to study xyz, then towards the end of my program, I was sponsored by an employer to work here and I have been in the job for xyz years

Hello,
can someone help me or guide me on what to do, my mother-in-law visa was denied and i am trying to book a new appointment for her, but i keep getting the error, "duplicate applicant found' what can i do to resolve this error?

Please, have you gotten a solution to this problem of Duplicate applicant found for this user

Dazzlebee07:
Hello All, please I need help and guidance on next steps.
My dad was unaware of the new visa platform. He went to drop off his document as today is the appointment date for drop off based on the old platform only to be told that the process had changed. He was given the new link to book an appointment on the AVITS portal. I have created an account for him on the AVITS portal but it looks like his profile was migrated and appointment was rescheduled and cancelled. I'm guessing because it was missed but no email was sent to him with the new information. Anyway, my question is do I just go ahead and reschedule or do I create new appointment. Does anyone know the difference between Consulate Appointment and OFC Appointment? Thank you for your answers in anticipation.

Please, have you been able to solve the issue of Duplicate applicant. I am having that issues to

Zebaby89:


Hmm I’m suspecting the issue might be with your passport number that you changed then .When you were paying to first bank did you input your correct passport number ?cos if the passport number on your profile doesn’t match what you imputed paying first bank it might be an issue .Just a thought .

Good morning sir, please sir have you been able to solve the issue of Duplicate applicant found. I am also having this issue.

Same here o.........I saw someone said on this thread that you can change a number in your passport number and that it will go, so I did that, i changed number "0" to alphaphet "O" and I was able to move past that stage and to the payment stage. I intend to make the payment and then if there is an issue with the reconciliation, i can use that format that the embassy said one can use if you have paid and you havent been able to book an appointment but then i am still chilling and hoping that there is another way......

Hello everyone

Please i need some clarification. I am trying to renew my B1/B2 visa. I have paid, answered all the questions and now at the point of picking a date. Do i schedule and interview date? At what point would i be informed if I qualify for an IW? Or do i just proceed to schedule and interview date?

Please help 🙏🏾

I have been to 5 European countries

Blackfinegirl:



Hahahahha , that london embassy, I will never forget when they refused me in 2010 after standing under the cold to queue for hours . Try and build your travel history by touring europe

Had my interview in Lagos, appointment was for 7:15a.m. USA is indeed not for the faint hearted upon I told them I was engaged and preparing for my wedding and going for a conference sponsored by my company .They still served me breakfast. I wonder what exactly they look for in order to give visa. I honestly think single people don’t stand a chance. By the time they hear you say, you aren’t married, no kids. Your Interview isis officially over.

It is well, hopefully you will get it on your next attempt........
