No problem. Let him keep checking everyday for dates on his profile before January 14th. It's only if he sees no available dates till then (which is not possible) that he can request for extension.

It's is required that you schedule an appointment before your expiration date. Even if the available dates when scheduling is in February or beyond, no problem, as long as you went to your profile before the 14th of January and scheduled a date.

I hope it's clear.

Guys that have concluded their KI visa interview,

My interview date is fast approaching. Please when do recommend I go for my medicals? A month before my interview date? 3 weeks? 2 weeks?

I just learned they added some dates on the portal. Quickly go to your profile and schedule a date!

Thank you, please should we quite the his visit to my country and focus more on the K1 visa process.
May be we should go to a country like Ghana and when he returns to US he can file for a K1 visa for me.
We both want it right and fast too

Thanks, I understand when my finance comes we have to wait for him to get back to US before he can commence for the K1 visa.
Pls how do we start?

It's your choice. We can't decide for you.

@djfrancis

it is generally advised that one should go two weeks before their interview day but I went almost a month before mine

@djfrancis,

Is it possible for the beneficiary to notify the Embassy of a change in his/her email address, after the application arrives from the National Visa Center?

And what's the step to take in this regards?

Thanks.

@LegitBachelor,

Hello.

How long did it take for the Embassy to contact you, after your application arrived from the National Visa Centre? And were you contacted via email, phone or by regular postal mail?

Thanks.

@justmejustme,

If you are going to visit, then you will simply apply for a Visiting visa.

You can look up: https://ng.usembassy.gov/

Cheers!

thanks for the answer, how much would I need to show for self sponsor, and or if the other party is sponsoring will I need to show bank statement too and how much will be appropriate.

and do I also need an invitation letter?
thanks in anticipation.

I recommend you go to the USA Visit Visa Thread. You'll see lots of comments that address your questions. You can also ask questions too on the thread.

Besides visiting your girlfriend in the States, there are other options which are much easier I think.

One option is for her to visit you here in Nigeria. Another option is for you both to meet somewhere else where you can easily get a visa....Dubai, Ghana, South Africa, etc.

Goodluck.

He hasn't gotten his passport back?

I thought it takes just 3 - 5 working days for them to prepare the visa.

He has gotten his passport.

8th of November. 22 days including public holidays

Visa in hand now

22 days! Wow. Thank God. I almost chose an interview date that was a week before an intended flight to Denmark. Thought the visa would be ready within a week. I would have missed that very important, work-related flight.

Hello everyone, here is my question. I applied for UK visit visa last year but to prove national ties, i said i was married with two kids,and presented a marriage certificate which wasn't real. The application was denied for account reasons.
But now, I met and have been dating a US citizen for 10 months now. Infact she has visited me in nigeria once. But my worries are; will the US embassy contact the British embassy and eventually come across the marriage certificate i presented to the uk embassy then?.

Do they share biographic data?.I have never applied at the us embassy before and never truely been married.

Should I tell them i was married and divorced or come out fresh?

Thanks and God bless us all.

@ LegitBachelor, djfrancis & sharpman1,

When creating the account on www.ustraveldocs.com/ng did you encounter any log-in problems?

Also, what option did you choose when asked - applying for a Nonimmigrant or Immigrant visa?

Thanks!

There is no need to reveal that to avoid more troubles as long as you were denied for the UK application. The police records the US consulate needs is for those who have stayed in a foreign country for more than six months

Did my medicals today. Will update you guys how it went here:

I chose to use Qlife because they were the only ones that replied me when I sent enquiry mails to the two hospitals. I got there around 6:45am, wrote my name with the Security Guard (very important) and then went back to my car.

At some minutes past 8am, they then called us in.

Please make sure you take a 4 by 3 passport photographs (5 copies), it's way smaller than the conventional 2 by 2 passport stipulated by the US Embassy. Also go with your appointment letter and the email printout from NVC that has your Case Number. Also you will need your international passport, 2 photocopies of your data page, immunization records (if you have) and of course, your ATM card.

You will undergo X-ray to screen for tuberculosis, your blood will be drawn to test for syphilis, you will be vaccinated with IPV, MMR and TT, those will protect you from polio, mumps, rubella, tetanus, etc. Your blood pressure, weight and height (BMI) will be measured. The Doctor will then examine you after taking your medical history. Your urine sample will also be taken.

It took me a little over 2 hours. I was done around 10:30am or thereabout

It's quite an extensive procedure and the result comes out in 2 weeks time, I'm told.

I guess this should help someone out there.
