Good afternoon VO...Please I need to know what is going on. I attended an interview at the US embassy on the 9th of June and was given a proxy form on which the address I was to pick up my issued visa at, GSS Collection Center, Muri Okunola was circled out and given to me. I am due for my trip on the 30th of June and till now I have not got my passport back. On tracking it today I saw the message "there is no status update available for the passport number submitted". I am indeed very worried because two days ago I was told it was still at the US Embassy /Consulate by the same tracker. Please I need your help!

Hi.

I got selected for a one-week entrepreneurship bootcamp at MIT which holds in August. What kind of VISA would I need to apply for? What documents would be required and what is the general procedure? I also heard that there's been an issue with the US visa processing system globally. Does that apply to Nigeria too?

Thanks

Good day VO
On the drop box requirements, I saw this : Spouses and children under 18 years of age may qualify to apply with parents renewing their visas even if the spouse or children do not meet the above conditions. Please note, however, that children over 18 years must apply independently of their parents even if they are traveling together.

My wife has a b2 visa which she would be renewing soon. Whereas I was refused a b2 visa the last time I applied earlier in the year.
My question is, is it possible I submit my passport along with her drop box application? As we plan to travel together at during our next leave.

Kindly help, the whole thing is confusing.

Thanks

Hi, thanks for creating this thread. I have applied for J1 visa gotten an appointment, filled the DS 160 form, paid the sevis fee. Am now waiting to go for the interview but my problem is that one of the documens sent to me by the school in US has my name wrongly spelt by 1 letter. Will I be denied because of this? Am just worried about the mistake because I have written to them to correct the name but it's taking long for them to reply and my interview date is close at hand.

During the expiration period, I will be studying in the UK for my PhD ending in 2019 but I will be doing my research and field studies mainly in Nigeria. How can I renew my visa and what documentation do i require? Thank you

Abujaniv Sir/Ma, please kindly respond to this , thank you

Greetings VO, having seeing so many assistance you have rendered here, I am convinced that I could be added to the long list of people you have helped, hence, I decided to humbly write you.
I am 27yrs married with 2 kids, I work with a reputable print media here in Nigeria as a reporter, I am scheduled to cover an AU event taking place in Washington Dc in August,my interview appointment is july, my visa application class is Journalist/media I class, I haven't travelled out of the country since 2012 and i just renewed my passport some days ago, though the old passport carry expired Saudi and Qatar visa on it, and i had never overstay my time in any of those countries,my questions are, 1. do i need to glue the old passport with the new one? 2. What are the necessary documents to take along for the interview? 3.my salary is not channel in to my bank account as it's always remitted by cash ( although always accompanied by pay slip) and perhaps I don't have huge funds in my personal account but have landed properties, the my since my company is the sponsor and would be responsible for all the expenses , 4. do i need to bring l the company account statement with me? 5.would my age be a barrier because most of my co reporters sheduled for the same purpose 3/4 years ago are over 30, and would be on assignment in the UK at the same time the washigton event is taking place.
thank you

Hello visa officer,
We recently applied for my mother inlaw visa and her interview is scheduled for July 7th there is a mistake on her ds160 form. It says 20th Dec 1965 instead of 1963 that is on her passport. We filled 1965 in our own forms. What can we do and will this affect her during her interview?

ying2000:
What is administrative processing 221 (g)?

nedum360:
Dear Vo, thanks for sparing some of your time. I'm a doctor in Saudi. Hope to apply for tourist visa April next year. At that time, I'm gonna be in UAE. Can I apply from there or do I need to come back to Nigeria? Also, how do I prove home ties while I'm based abroad?

krisnwanegbo:
Why Do the Embassy keep one in Dark? When he or she is put in Administrative Processing Required??

abujaniv:



Can a visa be refused under administrative processing??


Dear @ying2

Administrative processing is when the Embassy or Consulate must conduct additional work on a case following the interview. It can be required for any number of reasons. We work to process every application as quickly as possible and then always contact the applicant as soon as administrative processing is complete. Applicants will hear from the Embassy or Consulate when we have more information.

Regards,
Abuja NIV Team

I was issued a 2year B1/B2 visa in March when I was suppose to attend a conference alongside my brother.

I couldn't travel because some very crucial issues came up which I had to stay back to attend to.

Until this moment it hasn't been convenient for me to travel, how does this affect the validity of my visa.

Thank you
