@LagosNIV: It is far better to apply with a "virgin" passport than with a passport containing fake visas or fake travel stamps. The former may result, at worst, in a 214(b) refusal. Pls,do you mean my virgin passport may not qualify me for visa? what reason sir 1 Like 2 Shares |

Please don't misunderstand me. I am not saying that all applicants who have never traveled are refused. Travel history is one of many factors we consider in evaluating an applicant's ties to Nigeria. Some people with extensive travel are not issued visas. Some people with no travel at all are issued visas. The point I was trying to make in my post was that it is far better to tell the truth about not having traveled than to come up with fake travel documents. The worst that can happen if you tell us the truth is your applicant not be approved a single time (and you may well be issued, as I said, travel is just 1 factor). However, if you are found to have lied about prior travel (or anything else), you may be refused that application and be subject to a lifetime ban. LagosNIV jesuloluwa2010: 3 Likes |

Hello LagosNIV and AbujaNIV In 2013 i applied for a visiting visit visa with my husband. we were granted. i was asked if i was pregnant i said yes, i was also asked if i intend to seek medical services i said no, not fully processing that giving birth is also a medical service. i had full intention of disclosing that i was going to give birth if specifically asked but i wasn't asked. since giving birth i have traveled with my husband and child 3 times on that 2 years visa without issues at the POE we applied for a drop box renewal and was eventually invited after submission to the embassy, unfortunately we didn't know it was a big deal as we didn't go along with our receipt of payment and letter from hospital showing zero balance and all bills cleared. we were refused visa we tried to apply again this time we got all discharge letters and receipt , but the interviewer was barely interested in the documents we tried to present. 1. is there another means to have it on record that all bills have been paid and cleared as i suspect the first interviewer didn't believe our claim that we had cleared all our bills? 2. what is the chance for a successful renewal? Please advice |

Dear Lagos niv/Abuja I believe there should be a way that if a Nigerian leaves the country and doesn't return back to country through visit ,the other family should be able to suffer for that ,in the sense that if the other remaining family what to apply there should be a way to sort out either the father name or mother name... because they are many people dat dont wish to overstay ...but Nigerian are now violating the visa rules...thanks |

My brother is applying for a student visa. His flight schedule has been changed so he won't be able to drop the documents till after the 26th. He qualifies for Dropbox. For students, is there a process for expediting Dropbox submissions or is expedition only available for in person interviews? Thanks |
| Re: U.S. Non-immigrant Visas: We’re Listening by Nobody: 7:48am On Dec 20, 2017 |
Hello Tahtianah - No, we will do the verification through our own resources. If further documents are required of you, you will be contacted. LagosNIV Tahtianah: |

Hello NanaF - Dropbox is already an expedited procedure. We generally get through all of the dropbox cases submitted each day, but we do not have an option to further expedite the process. Applicants are always encouraged to submit their applications, whether for an in-person interview or via dropbox, well in advance of their planned travel. LagosNIV NanaF: |

For a want of a better thread to ask this, please @justwise @DisGuy can you kindly help me with this? A friend of mine wants to travel out. This is his first time. He found one consultant like that looks truthful. He was asked to pay 64K to apply for the visa, once he passes the interview and gets the visa then he can pay up the remaining sum of 500k. Does this sound genuine? Do you have any advice and or any consultant you can reffer him to? If there is any link to a thread that would be helpful too I'll greatly appreciate it. Please, he would like to start the applying today, so a snappy reply would be gracious appreciated. Thanks in advance. |

Hello yuspy - We do not give advice about how applicants should present their cases to us. You are free to present whatever information you believe will support any claims you make at interview. We do not comment on chances for issuance in this forum. LagosNIV yuspy: |

LagosNIV: Thank you LagosNIV for your prompt response. We are aware of the need to plan the trip in advance as initial ticket was almost three weeks in advance of the travel date but we realized an issue with the ticket at the airport yesterday while boarding, hence the delay. He is a student renewing his F1 visa. The next date for drop box after his arrival, is on the 27th of December. While his departure is on the 10th of January. Is it realistic to expect the passport to be returned within these dates or do you advise that we pay another fee to schedule an expedited in person interview due to the current situation? Thanks |

@ Lagos Niv @ Abuja Niv,Please I applied for non immigrants visa in 2014 which my Form DS160 was filled by an agent . The agent misinterpreted the work I do because he filled mechanic as my position but when the vo asked me the job I do I told him something else. I was denied then. Now in 2017 I filled the form myself and went for the interview. The vo asked for my previous work experience and I told her and she said its a mechanic she can see on her system.I tried to explain to her that I am not a mechanic. She went to seek advice from someone inside her cubicle. But later denied me again. Please how do I convince the vo next time am going for a conference next year 2018.Waiting to hear from you. Thanks |

Hi Abuja NIV, I had my visa interview on the 4th of December which was approved and after so many days I was asked to come back to the embassy in abuja to recapture my finger prints. I reappeared at the embassy and the consular officer explained to me the reason behind my visa delay which was pivoted on system error and further proposed that my documents will be ready soon. 5 days now (3 business days) and I haven't received any notification for document pick up and when I track my passport on the cgi federal site it just says on my dashboard "passport still with embassy". However, I noticed yesterday the status changed to "document delivery information" . Also when I track it via email it says "there is no status update available for passport number submitted".this also wasn't the case some few days ago when it always returns "document still at post". Please I'm confused and worried at the same time as to the ambiguity in these information as any further delays will greatly infringe on my school travel plans. Thank you. |

Hi, When I filled out my DS-160 form, I choose Abuja as my interview venue, but on booking the appointment, I got better dates at Lagos. The problem now is that My confirmation page shows Abuja but I have booked my interview online at Lagos. I don't want to be turned back on my interview date. Please is this OK? what do I do? |

Hi LagosNiv, Please, my wife has visa interview appointment for january 2018 in lagos. She has a PhD and she works as an academic advisor with one of the university distance learning centre. she has no travel experience before. 1. Please i will like to know which other documents apart from reverence letter from the university and her bank account statement she will need to bring along? 2. she's on a salary of N150k for now and she filled that she will be sponsoring herself though she have about N2m in account as she does a lot of other things by the side ( training, recruitments, etc for schools ). (a) i will like to ask if she can join our company's account statement that has more funds ( she is a director and a signatory too) with her personal account statement? (b) Does she have to come with data page of the company's CAC document showing her as a director? (c) Do i have to write a letter of consent for her ? 3. The purpose of travelling is to spend easter (2 weeks) with her family while i and the kids (2 kids) will be going for the christmas holiday later in the year after their national exams (waec, neco, gce) as we want them to concentrate and pass their terminal exams once. she will stay back at christmas as she too will be having some professional exams to write too during the christmas period next year. How best does she explain this to the VO as i learnt that the question and answer time with VO is always very short. Is there any where on the form DS160 to explain this reason while we are not travelling as a family for easter? 4. Are there documents required of her to scanned and send to the consulate before the interview date? 5. Can the form ds160 be edited for correction as the current passport photograph she uploaded is not on white background? Sorry for my many "novice" questions? Expecting your reply. Cheers. |

I have applied for a US visa form the United Kingdom while I was a student twice and I was denied and the reason was no strong ties, as a student I thought my school in the United Kingdom was enough ties to return back to the Uk. I do have ties to my country but I didn’t feel the need to travel with my documents since I was only schooling in the Uk and returning back home. I am applying again next year, this time with my documents. Will my previous application hinder my present application? |

Hello bleek1 The required documents are: International passport 2 passport photos DS160 confirmation page MRV Fee Receipt Documents which are not required but are sometimes requested: copies of the US Visa or bio-data page of the international passport of family members who have already been issued visas and who will be traveling with you copies of the US Green Card or US Passport of family in the US who you are going to visit Most other documents will not be requested nor looked at if offered. As a general rule if there is a document we want to see in order to make a fair decision on your case we can put the case on hold in 221g status and request that you submit the document before we make a final decision.
