Hello house,

Please I need help from you all.
There’s a section on the form that asks if you’ve lost a passport before or if it’s been stolen?
I was robbed in 2016 and my passport was one of the items stolen from me.
Please do I select yes and narrate this incident or select no and move on with my application.
I wouldn’t want to draw negative attention to my application that’s why I’m asking.

P.S my old passport number is on my new passport page.
Thank you

Rhetorical question I presume. By deductive reasoning, @the bolded should point you in the right direction invariably....

How did you get the new passport thereafter? Police extract? Whatever it was is key now as you must click on YES to that question in that section.. As simple as it seems, clicking NO is enough reason for your application to be written off no doubt by the VO.... That's misrepresentation; innocent or deliberate, and punishable!

Good afternoon everyone. I was denied an American Visa middle of last year. I have been to Spain and Italy since then. I spent three weeks in all during the visit. My social and financial ties are OK. Married with kids and employed with a good job.
I wanted to know if visiting these countries and returning on time would pass for a GOOD travel history during my next interview.

no specific template,they might not even ask for the letter, however how your friend migrated to the U.S will be a BIG factor, especially for the sister as the old man might get it while the sister might not.
They should go ahead and fill form while he send letter stating their purpose of trip plus duration and names of invitees

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and need help with my case.

I got a scholarship around March ending to attend an academic conference in the US for mid July. I immediately applied for a Visa, unfortunately my interview date is in August, which is after the conference. I have applied for an Expedited Interview but was denied.

Please is there any other thing I can do in order not to loose the scholarship opportunity.

Hello guys, Kudos to all. Can someone please give a link/ guide on how to get an appointment scheduled for visa interview. I’m trying to help a friend but Once I click on the schedule appointment it’s asking me to login again/create an account . Do I have to submit the DS-160 first ? Payment has been made but it’s not taking me to the page to provide the details. Please guide me. Thanks in anticipation.

Good Morning people,

Please I need your help.

I will like to apply for B1/B2 visa to travel in October and return 31st Jan 2020.

However my passport is expiring 19th Jan 2020. And I read that your passport must be valid through out your stay in the US.

Can I use the passport like that to apply for the visa or do I first renew it?
Also, will you advice that I pick Abuja or Lagos as my interview location?

I'm scared of the time the passport renewal will take given that I need to schedule my visa appointment asap.

Please kindly assist me, Thanks.

I'm grateful to God that I am alive to create this new part. And for the several friends I have made hereon.

Thank you.
