please do i need to fill and submit my DS 160 before i can create an account and schedule appointment with the new visa service provider?

@giselle237 are the ECO's only concerned about deposits into the account or they also watch out for withdrawals and transfers from accounts?
I will appreciate a prompt response.

NB; Things that changed from my letter

1. I reduced the duration from 7 days to 5 days
2. Reduced Accomodation to 70K from 150K and backed it up with booking reservation
3. Reduced living expenses from 100K to 50K
4. Got an unexpected salary increment I had to update.

I needed up applying later than I intended because I was waiting on a sponsor but when that fell through, I just had to wing it.

Thanks to everyone. I've been a lurker on this thread for a very long time, and it helped me start preparing my mind early.

Next up
Flight booking, any advice on how to get affordable flights?

Helo sokotogudali, how did you succesfully get a booking reservation? most sites do not accept naira card.
