Awesu122:
Good evening from here
Went for student interview last week Thursday in Lagos , and a white paper was issued to me , went to pick my passport this evening , to my greatest surprise , a blue paper cane along with my passport with VISA not issued , the VO last week collected my GRE score where I had 323 with my passport and issued GSS form to me without ticking any colum or requesting me to bring additional documents , but so funny when I went to pick my passport today and blue paper was issued , please what's next thing to do as am really confused right now, making plans for resumption already , and please would like to know , is there any other white paper than the approval paper ? This looks like there is a mixed up somewhere , my name wasn't even written on GSS paper there was no case number written on it as well , all VO told me in Lagos was I would need the form to pick up my VISA, and he held on to my GRE score of 323 , my questions is , is it a crime to choose CALUMS? Because I could remember him saying calums has a low rating , am willing to attached the GSS form and my DS Form for clarification purpose , because I believe there is a mixed up somewhere
Thanks

Hello Awesu122. Don't focus on the color of the paper--we switch that around sometimes. Focus on what's printed on it. Follow the instructions. If you still need help, write in to ConsularAbuja@state.gov or LagosNiv@state.gov

Thanks for the response , yes please get my point a GSS form was given with different contents on the white paper I:e additional documents required , but I wasnt. It asked to provide any further document out of the listed documents on GSS form , had it been I was asked to provide further documents for further verification purpose I would have done that, my name wasn't even written on the form my case number wasn't written on the form as well , he gave after he took my GRE score and told me categorically to pick up my visa with the form , a mail wasn't sent to me to produce further documents either, and to my surprise my passport came with blue paper again , thats where am confused
And don't really know what to do , should I provide them with my GRE log in or what?

Dear VO,

Thank you guys for taking out time to answer all these questions. However, I have an issue I ll want you to help me out. My wife and I applied for B1/B2 visa last week and was granted. We planned to travel first week of March but I have just gotten a call to execute a contract which will take me another month to finish. My wife alone will be traveling cos of the kids holiday time. The issue is that she is pregnant and we didn't go with medical to the interview and likely to give birth there. Pls what do I do as I don't want her to lie at the POE. Pls I am confused.

Hi...

I have a visa application currently under adminstrative processing (AP), for just over a month now..

the VO said to email and inquire about status if there's no word after 3 to 4 weeks.....
(So far I've seen 2 different status update changes... But still havent been contacted yet....)

Will sending an email make any difference??

Cos my thoughts are that if the AP is complete, I'll get a call, an email or something, without me having to prompt them....

In my past experiences with AP (this is my 3rd), whenever I would email to inquire about the status after a month or more, I would get a 'not-so-pleasant' response back. I'm trying to avoid that this time around.

What's the best way to go about this??

Thanks....

Her friends in America are telling her that she would not be issued a visa as the tension is so high. Pls advise.
Thank you and more power

Hello P406. This is not a gambling parlor--we don't speak of "chances" for visa qualification. The standards for qualification have not changed.

Hello VO,
Renewed my B1/B2 visa by Dropbox while I was pregnant, so no interview was done or online question asked if I was going to have my baby in the us. I'm due soon, and will like to have my baby in the us. I was wondering if there are any steps I need to take to ensure I don't have any issues with my next visa application. A family friend suggested writing a letter to the embassy.

Hi VO,

I did a dropbox renewal last month, and in my DS-160 filled in that I was traveling with my husband. I put in his passport details and everything, however, I realized that his photo/data page has a little damage that blurs one of his ears a bit. I was wondering if it will be better to use the passport like that, since those were the details I filled in, or have a new passport made. It's his first US visa interview.

Dear VO,

I got student loan from a US bank to cover 70% of my cost of attendance at Duke University Fuqua School of Business. Someone told me that student loans is a red flag at the embassy and my visa chances are slim with it. Please I will like you to clarify this information for me. My plan is to use the network of the school to gain job as a management consultant in Nigeria after study. Thanks as I expect your reply.

Regards

Hello Chidinho10. I have not heard of student loans being extended by US banks to international students. That's not to say it's impossible. But for someone embarking on scholarship in business, I'm sure you can see the hole in this strategy: The bank cannot compel repayment from the debtor.
