@LadyG, Justwise, Seyewest, ...all d gurus pls advise....
I have booked an appointment for interview (28/11/2017) - single application. There's a change in plans now, as I intend travelling with my family (wifey and 2 kids).
Pls how do I re-adjust the application to accommodate my family and re-schedule a new interview date?
Thanks.

Ok...transcript goes thus :

Me : Good morning
VO : Morning

VO: passport please
Me : Hands over PP (Heart beating fast now )

VO : Where are you going in the US
Me : Brockton , Massachusetts

VO: what are you going to do there
Me: I got a 21 working days leave approved and I'll be going for my friends wedding & vacation

VO: where do you work
Me: I work as a sales executive with bleep company

VO: Can you tell me about your roles
Me : I manage a sales territory with a team of 7 Van Sales men, I manage company key distributors accounts e.t.c

VO: how long have you been on this Job
Me : 2 years & 7 months ...at this point I was getting tensed but was getting inner strength from how well VO was communicating .

VO: So what does your *cousin* that's getting married do?
Me: I never said my cousin was getting married, my friend is the one getting married, VO apologises and nods head in affirmation

VO : what does your friend do ?
Me: He an aircraft engineer with bleep company

VO: how long has he been in the states
Me : 3 years

VO: Are you married ?
Me : Yes

VO: Why are your wife and kid not going to the states with you
Me: I stated the weather will drop to about -3°c when I'm visiting and its not a perfect weather for a toddler

VO: I can see you're traveling with people, have they gotten their visas
Me: They're currently having their interview so I wouldn't know if they got it (not long after I answered this, one of them was denied at the cubicle next to mine)

VO: have you traveled out of Nigeria before
Me : Not at all

VO: types for close to one minute, confirmed something on PP and brought out a white paper then circle and address and says: your visa is approved please pick your visa at the circled address on Wednesday .

I quickly packed my things and left before she go change her mind ..lol, it was exhilarating to be honest & once again thanks to the brains behind this thread.

God bless y'all , by the way I'm looking for affordable tickets plsssssss! Anyone with head ups should revert.

Thank you all.

Hmmm...na wah oh! I don't get how answering questions on Lady G's thread can begin to make certain kind of Nlanders feel so important... Arrogant and kinda rude like they have become high school teachers answering questions from high school students.. Not cool..
Ain't it better to ignore apparently annoying questions or kindly answer than sounding kinda rude! What a pity! Just saying...

You can reschedule appointment once without having to pay a new fee.. Just log in and readjust to your preferred date.but be sure as any other readjustment after the first will have you pay a new mrv

Lol, congrats man

@ Everyone Pls I need clarification with this Annotation on the visa page.

DW went for interview and was granted Visa
During the interview she on her own informed the VO that she was pregnant even though she just applied to go on vacation with me this December(I have visa already and traveled before).The V.O asked if she intends to give birth in the US and she responded by saying.... that would be next year in February.The V.O then said he would put that in her records but that she should inform them at the POE when she is doing and get necessary papers ready.Now she is considering going to deliver next year January because the allowed office leave for the December is just for fewer days than expected.She is now planning to deliver in Missouri.

How can we know what Annotation is on her visa?
Would she have any challenge at the POE even with all her possible compliance?

@ Everyone It is Multiple entry visa though

coldsummer:


Where will you be applying from. I don't think Lagos has interview dates for this year any longer.

You may get in Abuja though.



What do you do?


What's your travel history like?


Are you married (if yes are u applying with family)

Thx for your reply.
I reside in Lagos, and work as sales representative at Ibadan.
Not married
My travel history has been all years visit to UK.

Can I go to Abuja since Lagos has no interview date as you said. How true is this??

Well, I haven't started filling the DS-160 online. Likely 20th Nov
I just want to be sure of what I need to get and do to avoid stories that touches the heart.

Dec 25th should be holiday in Nigeria since my vacation is stating on or before 25th.
What chances do I have??
Thx

You don't need to complete your DS-160 to book appointment, just fill the first two page to get your application number and go on cgi to book appointment while you carefully complete your DS-160.

Not very good advice.
That's what leads to all the mistakes and questions on how to edit the form. If you wanna advice some one to take the short cut, dont forget to mention the downside to it.
Remain blest

My bad, didn't know problem could arise from such. @jalay, LadyG have said it's not advisable, i guess should complete your DS-160 first.

Hello, your case is simple but I think you are scared because there is change in your plan. You and your wife should go for the vacation in December because that's the main purpose she was issued the visa. She can later go to give birth in February (She said that she would use the visa to give birth in February during her interview) The VO already said she will put it her record that she intend to use the visa for birth next year in February. If what you said is true, you have no reason to be scared. Your wife should tell the CBP what the VO said that it's noted during her interview that she will be using the visa to give birth in February. Get all necessary documents needed for your wife POE, doctor's correspondence, evidence of funds available to pay her bill etc. Best of luck.

Thanks to everybody here, God bless y'all(plenty typos, sorry it's too long to edit)
