Thanks very much brother.
I tried not putting the flight details in the DS-160 form but the form won't save and go to the next page.
That is the problem else wouldn't have been bothered about it


That should be intended date of travel. You must put a date before you can move to the next page.

I was at the embassy last week Thursday for interview, and the consular approved my Visa... this morning i login to my profile and i was told to schedule for another appointment for 221g, what could be the problem? after first interview and this is not drop box.
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by platinumford: 11:22am On Apr 29
Wow. Sorry to hear this. Maybe they have more questions to ask you. I am sure after they clarify things you will be approved your visa. Where was your interview - abuja or lagos? When is the earliest appointment for your 221g?

Hey 🀠


1. Your visa was not approved but the consular officer approved the passing on to the next step (USCIS) of your Travel Passport for cross checking acurate data-information b4 the final approval .

2. If the consular did congratulated you after your interview on that 1st day, then he/she actually did that via human error (fatigue or hastiness) and forgot to hand you the 221g slip.

3. Well , its still a hopeful situation since your passport was retained because the consular officer anticipates your visa will be granted but something is preventing the CO from making the final decision.

4. The 221g is self-explanatory. Follow what is written there and you should know what do to.
Your visa is however hanging half-way at this state , nobody , not even the 1st consular who interviewed you can now determined the outcome. But be positive .

Hey 🀠

1. In that case you may not get the 221g slip again because It seems your follow up interview is a verbal aptitude oriented.

2. Email (via feedback option) or call the CGI for better clarification if additional or missing documents are needed. But i don't think they need you to come along with any supporting documents otherwise they would have stated it.

3. In this respect , flash back to your DS 160 data base and master off hand what you have written therein.

How long does it take for dropbox renewal?
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Logims: 7:05pm On Apr 29
I have been online recently to see if anyone has information on how long it takes for dropbox renewal. I submitted on the 12th of April in Abuja and I haven't gotten my passport back. today I tried tracking and I can't find anything on my visa/passport, I am actually worried
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Trueigbo: 10:16pm On Apr 29
Please urgent advice.

I filled in DS 160 form that I will enter the US on 12 May but the flight reservation I have says 11th May.

Do I need to make another reservation or I should go with that one
Re: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Eddykurrent(m): 10:53pm On Apr 29
Flight reservation doesn't matter.

Flight reservation is not necessary. Just know your intended date of travel. That should be the least of your worries. Purposes of trip snd relevance to your life and work, Proving you will come back and home ties is the real deal.

Hey 🀠

1. Your situation seems to be dancing towards my music . The first consular officer who interviewed you probably omitted (forgot or overlooked) a vital information (s) , and upon passing to the final vetting (b4 visa issuance) the missing info was discovered.

2. Just like i wrote previously, you are in for another verbal bombardments (on that particular missing or omitted information) but this time from a Senior or more Experienced consular officer .

3. Pray for good luck and go back to your DS 160 as well as the review of the previous questions asked by the 1st CO. Detecting the omitted or missing information (s) yourself and how to present the answers will certainly springboard your visa success.

Hey 🀠


** Personally Deduced .

1. In summary. Your previous visa refusals were kind of based on lack of travel experiences and the USA embassy has kept that record .


** After the above , 2 scenarios might have happened.


A. The last consular who interviewed you this year (2024) had actually interviewed you b4 (which is against USA consular policy - hence, your 221g re- appointment) and gave you pass mark based on your (refusal records) ability to have broken the travel history .

B. The last consular who interviewed you this year is a fresh consular but he/she only checked your (refusal) record and gave you pass mark based on your ability to have traveled to 6 countries.

2. Now, the consular who gave you the pass mark needed to write a rationale for your approval which must be reviewed by their supervisors.

3. The supervisor (s) reluctantly agreed that "Okay you have traveled to 6 countries which is fine but " Come and tell me again, what are you actually going to do in the USA ? Do you have enough funds because we have recalculated your possible expenditures ? Where are your nuclear-family (one of your top home-ties) ? Are they still in Nigeria ?

4. Work on the number 3 above, that's what the next consular will ask you and by God's grace you will have your visa stamping (if there is no other hiding stuffs).

5. You owe me a bottle of ROMANÉE-CONTI

Hey 🀠


1. You cannot expedite (fast track / request for emergency) anything when you are placed on 221g (Administrative processing) because the embassy herself is waiting on further information or instruction as regarding your mum's visa decision .

2. Your mum's overstayed back in 2020 might have been given another meaning (not covid related) by the embassy , thereby trying to see if they should impose the 181 days unlawful presence (overstayed) attracts 3 yrs visa ban.

4. Another angle is that if your mum has visited one or two of her children , then the embassy might be doing background checks on the children (s) as well as your mum's activities while in the USA.

5. In all, providing the correct and required items / information (s) required according to the 221g slip promptly and accurately can speed up your mum's administrative processing.

6. Keep eyes on your mum's email and usually check spam mails because you should not miss any correspondence at this time . Your only option is to keep praying and wait till November . 221g administrative process can be indefinite but the embassy is working on it.

Hey 🀠

1. The major option for B1/B2 to get your desired date if there is a targeted time frame for you to be in the USA is to apply for emergency appointment if you qualify .

2. You must apply for EA under 3 categories , viz ; A. medical emergency. B. student emergency. C. business emergency.
